@ryan, @jh20. Im now on cm7... thanks to ur support bcz that made me dare to try things ... it awesome .....

Im exploring the power of cm7 ... Bt one things that troubles is since we can do anything i dont want to brick the phone by accidenlty trying anything..

So my main doubt is can we unrtoot the Cm7 ??

how can i safeguard the phone by blocking Major settings changes since my friends and kids use to play game on my phone..

i knw cm7 is nt for kids bt jst to knw if any method is there ...
[Defy General] Zephyrot:
That's not true.

Fixed SBF means the Code Group 39 and 31 has been removed from the SBF so it wont flash upper CG versions, and therefore killing your downgrade ability.

You need to use a Nandroid backup after a Fixed SBF is to provide the corresponding Files that "should have been flashed" by the CG39/31.

You cannot change the Kernel, that's locked by Motorola, and we are just using Modules attached to the official Moto Kernel. but nothing more sadly.

And dont worry about bricking your phone, is almost impossible unless you disconnect your phone on a critical point/remove battery while flashing with RSD Lite, like creating partitions or something like that.

The worst that can happen is getting stuck past Boot up logo, which means you just have to start again and flash with RSD :P
[Defy General] ryan8r:
You can restore your nandroid and get back on froyo whenever you wanna throw it into the warranty. Dont worry theres not an option to brick the phone and it isn't that easy anyway. Remember to only wipe data/cache through custom recovery , never use the stock recovery and you should be fine.
[Defy General] Zephyrot:
To make use of your Warranty you should be flashing your Stock SBF and not a Nandroid backup.

To use a nandroid backup you need a rooted defy, which already voids your warranty, and unrooting your phone after a Recovery wont delete Busybox and a lot of root files at all so its pretty easy to find if a phone has been rooted without flashing a full SBF.

Using a full SBF is impossible if I'm not wrong :)
[Defy General] ryan8r:
I thought I was confusing "Build" for "kernel". Thanks for the correction.
[Defy General] ryan8r:
In India they dont really give a ****, I once restored my nandroid, unrooted it and gave it for repairs.
[Defy General] abhifx:
clarification

now that you are on CM7.x i dont see much of a point in posting this. but hey..

when you require fixed sbf -

fixed SFB was required in order to go back to 2.1 since cm7 requires 2.2 to be installed, so that people could go back to stock 2.1

easy downgrade -

now that everyone os officially updated to 2.2, fixed SBF is no longer necessary and in order to down\grade just flash full SBF

warning -

you will require fixed SFB again if you are planning to install those unofficial GB leaks so that you can downgrade to 2.2
[Defy General] v2dare:
@Zephyrot

i have the nandroid backup of 2.2.2 stock froyo of my phone itself as a backup. So what i think is to restore it with custom recovery . Ya its a Rooted Backup ... BT i think i can unroot it again with SuperOneClick ...

Yes Ryan said it ....
[Defy General] v2dare:
Now after Installing What i missed In cm7 which was in Stock Froyo...

1. It was easy to use stock Phone dialer . it will show sujested number & contacts when we press number in Dilaer . It Saved time rather than searching Contact list...

I downloaded Dilaler One from market which Meets my need now.

2. NFS Shift which worked on My defy is nt working in Cm7. The EA logo comes and jst exit...

3. A Stupid Dbt from My Mind .. Can i Unroot CM7??? haha..

Will update More...
[Defy General] v2dare:
My quadrant score 2329 !!!

whats urs friends ...
[Defy General] Zephyrot:
Having a nandroid is not the safest way to go, since it cant restore your phone in case it doesnt boot up. You need a working CWM to restore it. Best way to keep a "backup" for Guarantee purposes is finding the official SBF and just flashing it with RSD :)

Somewhere in the forums are the Official India SBFs, I saw them a couple days ago.

You are lucky they dont check for Root files in India :) they are really easy to find and I know a few people whose Defy's were not repaired under warranty cause of Busybox being installed.

Checkout this Dialer Go Contacts EX I found CM7 dialer lacking, but this one looks amazing and you can download skins :D

For NFS try downloading a newer Version, that happened to me until I updated it and redownloaded the data.

And I'm not sure if you can unroot CM7 hehe.
[Defy General] v2dare:
@Zephyrot Thanks man .. dialer one satsify my need anyway . Ya bt i will check Go Contacts Ex. As im a quite happy with all Go Products .

Now regarding NFS Shift . i Have two version of NFS Shift with me both having data files and APK. The One which worked on Stock Froyo Jst Quits Now aftr Loading EA LOGO and the other one works only if i enabled data traffic .. It checks for update while loading and without any pop or message jst starts working as normal . Bt if data is disabled i will get a Apllication terminated message ..

Is this because of some Graphics Support Issues. ?? Ya im checking other games too bt none doesnt have these problem...

The full customizable power control widget makes me happy since i can manage all the things from desktop which i lacked in Stock which dont have data enable on the widget ..

The Message App looking quites boring with that Look.. I installed Go SMS pro.

The torch app makes me worried all the time as im afraid if someone accidently use in these fully custamizable way (full brigtness)will burn my led. I Installed Xperia Torch App..

-----------------------------------------------------------

1.wats the default best power strobe Frequency of torch. i moved the slide accidently

2.is there a data traffic App there in Cm7 by default... i misss the Data traffic meter in Stock Froyo which was lightweight one
[Defy General] Zephyrot:
Yeah I'm quite happy with Go products too, all of them seem to be well done and look nice.

I dont know about NFS :( I know I had to try a lot of versions to find one that did work on CM7 cause the one I was using on froyo didnt work and latest version gave me issues loading textures. So I just started trying versions in between hehe.

For the torch, I use the default one, works nice from the Notification power bar :D and traffic data app, I recommend you 3G watchdog, been using it for months now. 100% reliable data counting, 100% configurable and non-intrusive if you want it to.
[Defy General] v2dare:
@Thanks again since i started doing these jst bcz of the inspiration gt from ur Defy Beginners guide .. And Im Nw thanking ur each post .. Haha ..

Ya i Too downloaded the 3g watch dof bt its using 10Mb frm RAM. So i jst thought abt something which can use intregrated data counter of Android rather than running backgroud.

and wat abt power strobe of torch shuld i keep ...

and how can i hide those Root Power using App from the App Listing Page .. I created another catalog . Bt its eazy to swicth the catalog ..
[Defy General] ryan8r:
I only use the torch at times as for strobe the lower the frequency the better/safer it is.
[Defy General] v2dare:
@ryan ... Thanks .. Im no using xperaia Torch App.. I lo ve its small widget icon on Desktop.

regarding Home Launcher

I jst installed go launcher ex and it helped me to hide those "Root Apps" and cant be made visible easily ..

So Now my Phone is safe from mishandling of those "Dangerous App".

An Important things wat i notice is Phone is awseome Fast in response and app loading .. Its that bcz of 2.3 OS or Bcz of Cm7 custamisation or Bcz of the OC?? I hope u people will knw things more clearly ...

I wish to have a good battery backup in my phone.. Till Now its ok as compared to My Stock Froyo. bt i will check for some more days to get an exact result ...

Anyway Im quite happy with the support of U Guys and i tried to increase ur Thanks count jst bcz those reply were really helpfull to me or any nooboo..

Hi everyone,

I have searched XDA-developers and Google and was unable to find any ROMs, generic or not, relating to the

ST18a model

of the Xperia Ray.

Does anyone have access to this ROM? Or is there a way for me to extract it from my device?

It's be very useful for rooting and whatnot. ;)

Thanks in advance for your reply.

Hey there,

Can you point me to a good tutorial for making your own ROMs from your own device? :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Neimos:
Problem solved

Hi, I'm from Mexico, and I was having the same issue you have.

Couldn't get a St18a rom anywhere.

I found this web site:

www(dot)wotanserver(dot)com/en/page/tutorial-debranding-flash-sony-ericsson

They say you have to download the driver package and then a flasher software.

I was a bit unconfident about it.

But since i already had flash tool and had mounted a St18i rom.

The worse could happen, was to have the need to reflash it again.

So, i tried and it worked, just as it said.

You just install the programs, run them, start your phone in flash mode, it detects it and install the driver. Then you have a list of compatible roms, select Generic Us (st18a) and that's it, let it work. It will flash it and tell when its over.

Next, you turn it on, and you have a St18a debranded phone :-D

They ussually charge for this services, by now, you just have to registere and can make 1 flash, totally charge free.

Hope I help you, just as much as all XDA developers have help me trought all my devices.

Best of lucks!

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] MarrkDaviid:
Is anyone with the ST18a nice enough to upload the official ROM? Would it be safe to flash an ST18i ROM on an ST18a?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
ST18a and ST18i are based on the same firmware, the only difference is 3G working band.

I am not sure, but the ROMs should work on both. As I said, I am not sure, if someone would confirm this, would be nice.

Just the baseband files from original ST18a ROM would be needed.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] MarrkDaviid:
I would rather not risk it, might try and find someone that has an ST18a running the stock ROM. Mine should be running the stock ROM, though I wanted to try flashing it with a different one, as it has a battery indicator problem, and I am not sure whether the issue is software or hardware related yet.

Need ST18A 4.0.2.A.0.42 Gingerbread 2.3.4 Stock Firmware also...

Xperia Ray ST18A Canadian (TELUS) came with ICS with too many Problems. Downgraded to 4.0.2.A.0.42 CE (Central Europe) which rebrands phone as ST18i which results in not finding Rogers/Fido 3G.

Hello :)

my girlfriend got an Wildfire, german 1&1 but with cm7 2.3.3 rom.

I have the HD2 with DHD Rom and Sense 3.0 based on GB... and she finds it very good.

So now i´m looking for a HTC Sense Rom for the Wildfire based on Gingerbread. But Froyo is ok too.

Is there any full functional Sense Rom for the Wildfire... fast and stable ?

As you can see, there is just one Gingerbread Sense ROM at the moment, but, its still under development, and is incomplete. So, for your needs, you will have to look at Froyo Sense ROMs only, unfortunately. The ones that are popular at this point of time include the following ones:

[HTC Desire S] Karimmunir:
I've just installed CM RC1 & I've accidentally discovered that WHOLE device can be used in landscape except on thing, the lockscreen. Is the whole landscape thing unintentional? Or is it something in progress.If it's unintentional can Nexx fully implement it or is it something that needs to be officially made by Cyanogenmod? Thanks a million for Nexx for bringing us CM for our device & I hope that it's HIS version gets official. I also noticed now that the dialer isn't landscape.
[HTC Desire S] kleinfeld:
I think there's an option in the dialler preferences to allow it to be used in landscape ;)

Also, I've noticed that when I hit dismiss/snooze on the alarm in landscape mode, I get a flash of the lockscreen in landscape for a few seconds before reverting back to portrait...?
[HTC Desire S] Karimmunir:
Thanks! Your right about the dialer. But about the flash of landscape, that even happened to me in stock HTC Sense in lock & home screen so probably it's just a glitch or something.
[HTC Desire S] cjward23:
Landscape is fully supported in CM7. Except for maybe a couple of Apps
[HTC Desire S] Karimmunir:
Then why isn't the lockscreen landscape. Is there an option that I need to enable or something?

but its a glitch which is welcome so it should be, like its posted before kind of standart setting

I'm pretty sure I haven't had this before. Will do a tweak and check other improvements.

EDIT: Please note that flashing this ROM will revert everything back to stock mode. It will remove CWM and root and you will need to re-do them again. This will NOT give you S-OFF/S-ON.
[HTC ChaCha] qbert456:
So this is probably obvious but, just need to use X-clip again?

Best check that h boot is supported
[HTC ChaCha] qbert456:
Oh and is dialer behaving itself?
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
If you have S-OFF you don't need to use X-Clip again :)

Dialer looks the same though (I mean, the % is still around 80%) but 80% out of 2% (total battery consumption) is nothing actually. :)
[HTC ChaCha] qbert456:
Got you, so its just root that will be lost .

[HTC ChaCha] myxcon:
On first boot I had ~108MB free.
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Like myxcon said above, internal memory is quite high after the first boot (on 1.18 after first boot I had around 76 MB).

Battery - I have a strange feeling that this one eats more battery... I'm not sure of it though but whenever I look at the percentage of the battery I always think that it should've been higher. That could be all in my head though :P It's still on after 2 days with moderate use (some wi-fi at night, emails, calls) and the battery is at 45%.

Speed - I don't know about this but the lockscreen appears jaggy when trying to unlock it. The ring doesn't move that smooth as I expected; but this might have been present on 1.18 also.
[HTC ChaCha] chuday:
dailer bug solved?? Bug is that once youve made a call on the cha cha it would remain in a wake lock state:-, consuming battery and affecting many cha cha units here
[HTC ChaCha] ajeevlal:
looks like inny2 did it on his S-ON device!.

[HTC ChaCha] myxcon:
Having following issues on this rom atm, that i cant figure out how to solve.

Cannot install busybox (this version https://market.android.com/details?id=stericson.busybox&feature=search_result) (it says busybox installed but doesnt figure as the version selected. Have no idea what this means. It says to try to isntall it in different location /bin or /xbin , but same error message.)

Titanium Backup Pro (market purchase) doesnt seem to run. I can open the app, it loads all apps from OS , then reboots once or twice and then shuts down. Tried clearing data and stuff, nothing works.

Gonna provide some dropbox links to this RUU and 1.18 also as files on sharing sites tend to get deleted often. (But I am on a ****ty edge connection and everything works so slooooow)
[HTC ChaCha] chuday:
tried it and heres my summary

-just execute the .exe ruu in windows and charge ur cha cha to 30%+

-does not reset s-off etc

-resets custom recovery and roots

-does not fix dailer bug for me
[HTC ChaCha] iDAREK:
He update with S-On becouse his CID was that same like in upgrade rom file. This is why there was no conflict. If you have conflict with ID when updating, you need to change CID in update file.

Run RUU, copy extracted rom.zip.

Extract ROM.zip and change cid information in TXT file (dont move IMG files). Pack agian into ZIP file. Rename rom.zip to PH06IMG.zip and put on SDcard directly. Run chacha into bootloader mode and try to upgrade if you will be asked for.
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
The link provided by me is my personal website (hosting included) so it will never get deleted (unless I will).

If you have dropbox account you can just copy to your account, or make free account if you get traffic exceded message.
[HTC ChaCha] ajeevlal:
Thank you, i tried updating the CID, but no luck. i tried updating from bootloader, looked like it was loading but after some i was back in bootloader menu and no update :(
[HTC ChaCha] niels_kievits:
OK, I've stared on your method and am wondering if the CID list has to be exactly and only the right CID of if it could be a list of CID's like in, say, the CWM update zip file in the sticky thread?

And, while we're at it, does the newly created ZIP have to be signed?
[HTC ChaCha] threestripebrand:
Quick question, what version of android is ruu. 1.33? Is 2.3.3 or 2.3.4?

Thanks anyways

Sent from my nike hating evo!
[HTC ChaCha] myxcon:
2.3.4

10char.
[HTC ChaCha] niels_kievits:
Well, tried the zip with the code all in the txt file but the update process stops at the end of checking the file (orange bar) and takes me back to the fastboot/recovery/etc screen. To bad.
[HTC ChaCha] iDAREK:
checking the file (orange bar) can take a wile, did you wait enough long?
[HTC ChaCha] ajeevlal:
For me after the orange bar it was back to bootloader and no rom update!
[HTC ChaCha] iDAREK:
Do you have s=off?
[HTC ChaCha] ajeevlal:
no mine is S-ON
[HTC ChaCha] iDAREK:
Then now you know. Try to do s=off using xtc clip.
[HTC ChaCha] niels_kievits:
People have done it with s-on so they claim. Ah well, my gf wil just have to wait i guess.

I hope htc irons out some flaws because the phone's alright but the rom on it lags behind.

Or maybe I'm just spoiled having a good ol' desire with oxygen on it :)
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
It should work without having S-OFF by using windows. Run the RUU and proceed through the steps described inside. Haven't tested it but it should work (using the temp folder to extract the rom.zip then putting it on the sd card should require s-off).
[HTC ChaCha] niels_kievits:
So I guess in steps that would translate to:

-Start the RUU update exe but don't proceed to the final step just yet

-Find the rom.zip file it created and copy it somewhere

-Extract that copy and edit the TXT file with the CID-code(s)

-Re-zip the files to rom.zip and overwrite the file from step2

-Continue the RUU update and cross your fingers
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Hopefully. If running the RUU in windows does not work (it fails in the meantime, at the last step) then changing the CID file should work. I'm not guaranteeing that it will work, just that normally it should. It's like having a Nokia phone from factory and you flash it using the .exe provided by Nokia (they stopped releasing the .exe files over the years) but it was the same principle.
[HTC ChaCha] niels_kievits:
Sorry to say it doesn't work. Signed or not signed; replacing the rom.zip when using the RUU results in a 132 (signature error) in the RUU.

Trying one last time by putting the ZIP as an update on the SD and going in recovery mode by hand. Don't think it'll work though.

Edit: putting signed zip on sdcard does not work either. I'm out of options.
[HTC ChaCha] ajeevlal:
i was able to update thru gold card :) just rename the rom.zip to PH06IMG.zip (do not change CID). place the zip in gold card and go to bootloader..... first it will update the bootloader and restarts and then updates the rom
[HTC ChaCha] hashtowent:
help.

i cant get my chacha to be tested for the update!

im on windows xp but how can i conenct it succesfully for updating?

it always ask for an androidphone driver or android 1.0 in bootloader.

but there's no such driver in this package!

:-/

what to do?

it cant connect to chacha but windows sees it. tried all usb modes.

seems to be related to android phone device.

do i have to install adp first or some special app?

and second how to get my cid to modify my chacha rom? (if it wont work)
