I installed the update, but dont recognize my sd card! XS with UBL! Can someone help me?
Thx!
Sd card or internal memory, xs has no external sd card i guess
otg cable maybe…
same here…it prompted me that my SD card is damaged…just reformat your SD card and it will be fine…the bad thing is if you did not back up your files then say good bye to your files saved at your SD card
No update yet pro XSL in BRAZIL.
hopefully soon leave this blessed awaited update for users of nois (XS, XSL) Thanks for SONY remember nois! 🙂
I zeroed my day!
Pictures MMS bug fixed too ! THANKS !!!
Is The ftf File Above For Locked BootLoader ?
Both ftf are for working on locked / unlocked bootloaders.
No ftf for XSL? SUS not updating in Colombia, by the way.
Is there any known fix for windows 8? It is just impossible to start in the mode while holding volume UP and connecting USB cable at the same time..
No issues it works on my windows 8 pc. Power of the phone, restart it try another usb port of pc.
(I meant volume down)
Weird, It doesn’t work for me. I always get not recognized.
hey there xperiaguide, any fix on battery consumption bug from this update?
I Flashed The Update On My XS In Syria And The WIFI Issue Didn’t Fix
Will this ftf work on xperia Acro S or is it only for xperia S/SL?
they dont fix the battery 2x drain?why?
Please post more info regarding your battery drain…screenshots please….
yup! i agree with that. sony please fix that thanks!
What about battery Draining in comparison to ICS and previous Jelly bean Updates?
can someone re-upload the .96 world ftf file for xperia s..the download speed for depositfiles is so slow..please someone re-upload it..like via tusfiles or mediafire..
Please use 2nd ftf downloading link , speed is 500kb/ps on it.
We did not get any updates for XS in Syria , I don’t know why , but it realy makes me very confused ..
which .ftf file is better to download for india?
In India i have WORLD file so you can download any of above given files…both are WORLD FTF files, prefer 2nf ftd link – more downloading speed.
Can I flash this on my XSL? It says LT26i. Please reply.
Yes you can flash above xs lt26i file on xsl lt26ii
After flashing your phone will say lt26i in about phone, processor remains on 1.7ghz
You can edit build.prop and make about phone again lt26ii after rooting. FOR ROOT check update section in post.
Will i loose root and custom recovery if i will flash this ftf?
Yes you will loose root and recovery.
For root check the update in post…
what about my 79 apps installed?any idea how i can get them back AFTER flashing,without downloading them from play store manually?
well make a back up of all apps first ( via AVG ) and then copy the back up files which contain all apks to your PC and back up the data via PC Companion. After flashing, install avg > copy the folder in phone > avg recognizes it > back up all apks > back up data from PC Companion.
If you are rooted now, titanium back up, you can restore apks from it.
not getting update for xperia SL till now in assam…..plezzz help..
Just flashed the ftf in Ghana and my XSL works like charm.2G,launch to capture,1080 recording,UI all work flawlessly. Will post screenshots soon 🙂

You will find the LT26i 6.2.B.1.96 World Generic (Zipaligned, Rooted, Deodexed + Busybox) flashable ZIP
Download it and you are done 🙂
P.S. do read all comments on that thread before updating.
hi..
I checked it,,that flashable zip has no kernal on 1.96..we need to flash the kernal(by DooMLoRD) via flashtool..
I’m afraid to follow it coz previously i tried to flash .211 via flash tool according to your guide.but it didnt work..i tried it on several pc’s with all the latest drivers,but ended with an error message,disconnected phone and error in 2012 devices somthing like that…
but the flashable zip worked for me..
if you find a complete stable flashable zip file on 1.96,let me knw
thanks
my phone is xperia acro s JB .200. will i also get update. because mine is .200. i’m from bangladesh.
and is it possible to share generic acro s FTF of .96? if i don’t get update via pc companion or SUS , i’ll update it manually.
if possible please Anurag answer me.
yes you will get update as soon as it reaches your region, this update first come to Xperia Acro S.
We are trying to get the correct file for Acro S ftf but can’t find it yet…as soon as we get it will update the links.
P.S. XSL users will also update links for you too.
Thanks Anurag for your quick response. i also do not understand another things. in new rooting method, where do i get .211 karnel and .96 karnel for acro s? in that post there is karnels for XS. so if i want to root my phone after update to .96, how do i do that? and how to flash karnel only via flashtool. is there any tutorial with screenshot about it?
Thanks again for your help.
detailed tutorial for flashing here – https://www.gizmobolt.com/2013/06/20/how-to-flash-xperia-s-sl-jelly-bean-6-2-b-0-211-world-india-ftf-file/
for kernels you need to get them from previous rootable xperia acro s jb .211 kernel and extract kernel from this new firmware .96.
thanks. yea i know how to flash whole firmware via flashtool. but i want to know how to flash only the karnel via flashtool as doomlord says to flash it.
another thing, though my phone is rooted but it is .200 version, so how i collect .211 karnel? and please let me know by root explorer where i find my phones karnel which i’ll be save on my pc?
in the same way you flash ftf, < one has a ftf in which only kernel.sin file is there >
You need to decrypt your present firmware via flashtool and then make a ftf and then extract it, take out the kernel.sin file from it. Here you got it.
Check on DooMLoRD’s official page, there is a link below, ask him to give you Acro S kernel if he have.
thanks Anurag. you are really a helpful person.
Oh shit….please help meeee….WiFi doesn’t work :@
when the update available in middle east
I am afraid if this update is regional, just like .55 firmware in Android 4.0.4, as I still cannot get the update.
When Xperia S was upgraded to Android 4.1.2, I can get the update after roll out in three hours.
Anurag, i got acro s ftf and .211 , .96 karnel also. and i want to share the link. could you please, add these links on your post? if that so , acro s owners also update there phones also.
Thanks.
Hello yes we are adding the links.
We added that Acro S ftf link first when we wrote the post, but removed it then…As because this ftf is of 769 MB and the XDa user who shared this link sent to us, but the update is of 485 MB so we don’t think this is working ftf…
rest links we will add, Thanks 🙂
yea i see that the link is 769 MB.but i talked with some people who download and flash it. they says everything seems ok. though i did’t flash it, because i ‘m waiting for the official update, as you say i will also get it. :D, thats why i’m waiting for it.
yes we have added the links ( all 3) but we wonder why this ftf is of 700MB size+, can’t say how it worked :/ Well i’ll add a warning ” flash at your own risk”.
Yes everyone will get this update…it’s a global update.
Wait till we find suitable Acro S ftf.
UPDATE :- We have got the right Acro S ftf 485 MB size, we are updating the link, you can download it and install it.
oh, thanks buddy. then delete my ftf link and update yours, i’ll download it. but i thing karnels are ok. 🙂
yes kernel seems fine, links updated. download it now…
After downloading send us some screenshots via our “contact” us page.
ok i’ll download and flash it. do i need to change anything on my device? and should i need to make a factory reset after update for a fresh update? i ask it because, this is the first time i’m going to update my phone via flashtool.
Do below steps :-
# Dial *#*#7378423#*#* > Service Info > Software Info > take screenshot, save it.
# Make a back up of all data via PC Companion first.
# Back up all yours APKS via any antivirus ( like AVG ) ans store that file of backup in your PC separately so you can get all those apks back after flashing.
# Do a Factory reset.
# Flash ftf using Flash Tool.
# Restart phone you see .96 firmware > Do a Factory Reset.
# Clean Install, this is 🙂
We would recommend you one more step. As you have flashed a ftf ( may be not of your region ) so what i suggest is :-
# Now after flashing “Repair your firmware via PC Companion again, so you get latest firmware from SONY now directly / OR re-install fresh firmware via SUS”.
All done 🙂
P.S. Detailed flashing steps with image tutorial here – https://www.gizmobolt.com/2013/06/20/how-to-flash-xperia-s-sl-jelly-bean-6-2-b-0-211-world-india-ftf-file/
thanks.

Reply me if possible.
Thank you!

did they make the ear piece louder..before you can’t hear the person your talking…
Please! Jb 6.2.b.1.96 for xperia sl (lt26ii) world!!
anurag, when i’m going to flash my phone , it shows this error.
https: // app.box.com/s/7tna8g2n4ens3ud7777c
now what should i do?
please help.
try another port, restart phone , re do the process. exit this one…
never saw this error.
i made a factory data reset before start flash with erase internal SD. everything has gone but SU is still there (that means root access didn’t go). is it normal?
huh ? Check is root there or not ? it shouldn’t be there…not normal :/
i had done it two times.
settings>backup & restore> Factory data reset
and this for one time
settings>backup & restore> settings reset
both with internal stores erase.
everything is gone but SU & CWM is still there.
hey don’t worry it’s normal…no issues…i remember factory reset doesn’t erase root and CWM.
Is flashing working or not for you now ?
no, flashing still didn’t work. it want SU permission, i grant that, but still same error. 🙁
mine is windows 7 64 bit pc. when i install flashtool, it install both 64 and 32 version . i tried both, didn’t work.
can’t say why are you stuck at this error :/ seriously no idea, i have.
i think it’s the ftf file which make problems. because when flashtool is going to prepare the ftf file, it shows error. is there anyone who update there phone with this ftf? any feedback?
i just started download the ftf again. let see what happen.
Hey Zahir I Update My XS With The ftf File That Uploaded To Desofile.com
I Think Your Problem In The ftf File , Try To Download It From Another Server And Your Problem Won’t Appear Again 🙂
oh yea , i just download the file again and that is worked. ftf is ok.
thanks Michael for your advice. but it works. 😀
where is the link for lt26ii? for this update i can only see lt26i only… can you privide it thanks.. or its same?
Hey guys. Finally updated my Acro s using LT26w_6.2.B.1.96_Nordic_1266-4530.ftf
So far the update is very stable after running for 3 hours now. All my apps have been reinstalled. Noticed installations and multi-tasking is much quicker
– 1080p recording is surely fixed. better focus. more detailed pictures. Camera startsup fast when using camera button from sleep
– no wifi issues at all. Currently 7m away from router with 2 wooden walls
– faster response times and very smooth UI compared to ICS 6.1.A.2.55
– volume button issue fixed
– NFC transfer works to my dads S3 works fine.
– Games perform exactly the same as on ICS
Really haven’t found any issues with it so far. Just testing battery life. so far after running for 3 hours from full charge, installing all apps and transferring data back into phone, i still have 72% left
Will see how long it lasts with extended standby mode enabled. Off to bed now. Will report battery usage in the morning
FINALLY an update worth installing. Enjoy
Very well reviewed buddy, yes this update is a great one 🙂
Well great that above ftf worked for you…
Do let us know about battery stats after 24 hrs.
Morning from NZ. I have lost around 15% while on standby overnight with extended battery mode enabled. Had wifi and 3G enabled with full brightness, all my apps logged in as well like FB, tango, whatsu, viber, line and wechat. Mobile was on standby for about 7hrs.
Also noticed the volume can go much louder than it could on ICS.
Running on 56% now. See how long this lasts with 3G enabled for the whole day.
Anurag, yet you do not have any news about. Ftf XSL?
Please if possible, answer me!
as soon as it comes, will post sure…we haven’t seen many xsl users to report this update yet…
As soon as we get some will update 🙂
i know my xperia SL will work if i flash with xperia S firmware but it would be detected as xperia S and im afraid it would be not 1,7ghz proc anymore
yes your phone will be detected XS but your processor remain 1.7 Ghz sure 🙂
You can change your phones about phone by editing build.prop file after root back to XSL 🙂

It may depend upon the file which you flashed and the xs on which above screenshots were taken…
Two ways of posting screenshot, either you upload them somewhere and post image links here.

Update available in Colombia! SL here.
Downloading as soon as my phone is charged enough.
Thanks for screenshot, updated in post 🙂
upload ftf if you can, will help other XSL users 🙂
I have no idea how to. I mean, I know there’s an option to make it using Flashtool, but that’s all I know. As soon as I learn how to do so, I’ll do it.
By the way, it’s in Colombia, but it’s the Generic version.
Let me tell u how to do it-
Got to my computer > unhide hidden files > now go to program data > look for sony ericson folder or sony mobile folder > go to folder ‘db’ > blob fs > now copy the two largest files in this folder mainly around 300 and 14 mb > now copy them in a separate folder.
Open flashtool > advanced > tools > decrypt > now browse those 2 FILES you pasted > select both files > move them to right side > decrypt them > write the branding > file ftf made
I may have skipped some folder name , look for above folders..
It’ll be ready in around 5 hours (when I’m back home).
My internet is being gay, but here’s the folder where I’m uploading the .ftf in part files.
http://www.mediafire.com/folder/5792i9hnbeusa/6.2.B.1.96
It’s my first .ftf, so I’M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY BRICKED PHONES. However, I’m a Computer Engineer, and I’m pretty sure I followed the instructions correctly. Just had to be clear with that disclaimer.
Uploaded.
Link please ?
yes got the links updating in post 🙂
Where’s LT26ii_6.2.B.1.96_world?
Can i flash directly this update on top of ICS 4.0.4 ? or i have to flash first to 6.2.B.0.200 and after that flash this file? Thank you! kind regards.
You are still on ICS ? OMG.
yes you can flash it on any firmware you want.
Thanks Anurag xD and Yes, ICS until today, that i have time to risk my device on the experiment of flashing from my GNU-Linux box. I was waiting for Sony until they fix those horrible issues from .200 and .211 of the JB firmware.

If you haven’t got the update notification till now, then you need to flash the ftf file.
download the required ftf file of your phone from above links.
Now to install this ftf on your phone, refer to these installing steps here via flashtool. -https://www.gizmobolt.com/2013/06/20/how-to-flash-xperia-s-sl-jelly-bean-6-2-b-0-211-world-india-ftf-file/
Any news on your Sony’s friends about fixing Wi fi problem in Andorra (Europa)???
Hello Anurag i’m from Bangladesh…I need ur help.
I’m using Xperia S with fw version. 211. But u know it’s full of bug 🙁 so I have to update 6.2.B.1.96 fw. I have downloaded ur 3rd number fw but when I plunged in my phone to my pcc with volume button pressed it says something like this—->
**Phone connected to the flash mode
**Phone disconnected
**For 2011 device line make sure you are not in the MTP mode
P.S : Now what to do? I rooted my device, I have installed CWM recovery but I don’t know why my phone doesn’t flashing?
It’ll be very helpful if u tell me what I need to do?

I have updated my Xperia SL with Jelly Bean latest update 6.2.B.1.96 few days back. After updating issues present in previous update were solved but now I am facing a very new and strange problem:- Whenever I Start my media App ,the wifi drops and after that I have to restart my phone or my wifi router. Else my phone is working very good. I think it is still having some bugs. Please solve this problem….
I have updated my Acro S and afterwards, video recording is not continuous. It stops recording in the middle even if I’m not stopping it and even video playback is lagging a lot. I thought this update is for the camera and video bugs fix? In my case, it worsen the problem. Now I regret why I updated it. 🙁
thank you mr. anurag kumar and djscarbo at xda dev, thank you all verymuch 😀
Hi there, may i ask if this is different from leaked jb ftf files last july 2014? I am curious because i think my 1080 video still lags even though im on. 96 build. Just want to know if i need to reflash this. Thanks a lot
I flashed the 6.2.B.1.96 firmware on my xperia s. Everything is fine but it’s asking the sim network unlock code. I’m using bsnl sim card. can u tell the unlock code.
