- First get the files required.
- You must download the Flash tool (download link here) and the Xperia Arc S firmware package (download link here) and place the same to the computer.
- Install flash tool and extract the firmware archive (you should get the .ftf file).
- Open the flash tool executable.
- Select the .ftf file and copy it to the path “C:/Drive -> flashtool -> firmwares”.
- If there are other files saved there, delete them first.
- On flash tool, click on “flashing” (left side below “file option”); then select “flashmode”.
- In the window opened you must check the “Wipe user data” and “wipe cache” options and then click “ok”.
- The program will ask you to connect the phone with the PC.
- Do that and follow the prompts.
- Now, the Gingerbread OS will be installed on your Arc S.
- The phone will reboot automatically and when you see the home screen displayed you can disconnect the handset from the computer (remove the USB cord).
That was all. Now you know how to downgrade your Sony Xperia Arc S to the official Gingerbread 2.3 firmware. Remember that the official ICS update was released too, so you can apply the same.
