I'm trying to root my xperia arc s but the script get to the stage where it says "daemon started successfully" but then doesn't do anything. I've tried running the script 3 or 4 times and left it running for more than half an hour and I've had the same result each time.

I've done everything that needs doing other than the adb drivers. I have pc companion installed and also seus as well. I've download the package mentioned earlier in the thread from the se website but I have no idea how to install it. When I right click and select install on sa0102adb.inf and sa0102rndis.inf, I get an error saying "the inf file does not support this method of installation"

How do I install adb drivers for the arc s and get the script to work?

Thanks :)

I have my Xperia Neo V for just 24 hours. Your script rooted it in one click! Thanks!

(2.3.4 and 4.0.2.A.0.42)

@fireice7: You have to download the Android SDK (find the link and a lot of info here).

Then run the sdk as administrator (this took a little time for me to realize...) and install the google usb driver package. Do the change in the path (your sdk will install in a different folder from the example given there) and follow the rest of the instructions...

Hello, sorry if this is a bit of a stupid question, but I am a n00b when it comes to Android rooting. I have one concern:

I understand that running as the root user for your daily phone usage is insecure and makes you more at risk to malware security exploits. Is it therefore possible to easily switch to the root user for making tweaks whenever you like, and then easily switch back to the normal user for daily usage?

Thanks.

I bought an Xperia ray for my Wife.. its Firmware is 4.0.A.2.368... Its giving me option via PC companion and OTA that an update 4.0.2.A.0.42...

I want to Root it... Should I first use DoomLord's method to root the Device and flash custom 4.0.2.A.0.42 Rom or I can root it even after updating to 4.0.2.A.0.42?

I dont want to unlock bootloader at the moment.. Just want to Root with latest 4.0.2.A.0.42..

Please guide me since I am new to Xperia sets and I know enough about HTC sets...

Hey everyone,

Currently I am running the Infused Rom 1.6 which is not an overclocked Rom. Yesterday I was looking at some launchers and came across the soft 3d shell. It looks great, aside from its price... The two questions I have are: 1. Do you guys think that I could run this launch smoothly without being overclocked? 2. Are there anyother launchers that are similar that you all night recommend?

Thanks for the help and input!

The second post shows a comparison between all of the modems that he tested.

I flashed KI4 just because.

Maybe worth a try? 8)

Thanks all... I'm switching a lot of baseband today, KH3, KH4 is not good for T version S2s....

and yes, it was I9100TDUKF4 in basband before, that gave me an average speed and reception...

I have also aware that maybe the service provider will affect the reception, so my guess will be if for T version S2s, it has to be used different baseband when the phone is with Telstra and voda...

anyway i am using NEKF2 atm, the speed is amazing but the reception is again not much improved....

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattDN93:
So I have a wildfire, I was on a tight budget and I bought it when it first released...I love this phone and it's still going strong overclocked at 768 mhz with CM 7.1, and I'm gonna have to keep it for while (I'm broke) :)...but my question is, I'm insanely grateful to all the devs still working on the wildfire, thanks so much guys you make our day...but if they all get the latest and greatest Android phones, lots of them keep on at the wildfire stuff...what's the incentive, just wondering:)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3xeno:
Most devs don't sell their Wildfire after they upgrade, so, it's easy to continue working on it. If they sell it, they stop developing. As far as I can tell, only schiznik (Devnull / Oxygen) doesn't have a Wildfire of his own.

Another "incentive" (if you can call it that, I won't) is that the Wildfire section is far less crowded. One look at the popular phones forums, and they get excess of 2000+ posts per day and get >1 new ROM per day (figuratively speaking), so, its extremely easy to lose track of your own work in the crowd.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattDN93:
Wildfire reason

Thanks, that makes sense, the Devnull ROM is entirely AOSP if i'm not mistaken?

And what would be a correct word other than "incentive" :)?

So essentially to get exposure for your work and better detailed help and progress when building ROMS and development, people choose these forums...
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3xeno:
It's all for fun and community (Unless someone is a professional). When I used to be a theme creator for Nokia's S60 Symbian Devices some years back, it always gave me a sort of buzz to contribute to the community and be appreciated for your efforts.

Also, there's always a desire to get the maximum out of your device. If this didn't exist, probably, dev forums would never have existed.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattDN93:
That's true, the community (myself included) are grateful for you guys cause otherwise we'd still be on stock 2.2 Froyo from HTC (boring!!)...and there's always things the manufacturer doesn't want you to do on their product...the devs just show how much better a product (in this case the WildFire) can be than it's original form thanks to some creative work and effort...

Bought myself a cheap one from a friend who's upgraded to the SGS2...

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] guru_urug:
Hello guys! :)

I currently have the LG optimus one, and am looking to buy a new phone. Im torn apart between the SE xperia mini pro and the Moto Defy :(

Pls help me decide :D

On one hand theres the big screen on the defy and on the other theres the hw keypad and the 1Ghz procy :|

Any personal experiences?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] barrist:
Its basically whether you need the bigger screen or the keyboard. Processor should be similar, both can be overclocked to your liking. If you want both, how about something like the Desire Z?

the mini pro has a known issue of noise when recording video although Sony has said they will fix it in the next update (which should be any day now).

Me i like the small unique form factor rather than the ordinary 4" slab.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] dryhte:
Yeah, I think one should only go for any of the mini's if one likes the small form factor. It's why I went for one too.

Otherwise, I think I'd have gone for a Ray or simply stuck with my Optimus One (which is a very good phone by itself, even if it's stuck with a measly 600MHz ARMv6 processor.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] FreeZr:
The Desire Z, jeez. I had one ;) Terribly slow, unfortunately.

I'd say yes, the mini pro is definitely a recommendation.

You can play all games with the keyboard, which is pretty damn awesome :)

The phone itself is really smooth and never lags or hangs.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kiavik:
The Mini Pro has a big disadvantage: the reception. It really sucks compared to my old N82 so make sure the area where you're going to use the phone has a very good coverage otherwise the battery life will be really short.

Check my previous posts for more info
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] dryhte:
I haven't really had any reception problems yet, but the phone consistently shows far less (!) bars than my previous phones. It may be more a case of what the OS reports, than terrible reception per se.

However, I've noticed that the phone switches back to Edge far more often than my Optimus One (which sometimes did nothing at all until I clicked a link for a second time; probably because it kept trying to find the 3G network). If this keeps the user experience more consistent/fluid, I don't have a problem with it.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] FreeZr:
Same, no problems with the reception here.

I'm living in an average sized town in germany, nowhere near the inner city and always getting atleast 3/4 bars. It really depends on where you live and how good your carrier is
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] arunavmamc05:
Mentioning Moto Defy tells me you are confused even about form factor. First decide, what you are, Type-er or Touch-er. If Type-er go with Mini Pro and if Touch-er then you have much better choices to go with than Defy.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] dryhte:
maybe those are the options between which he can choose if he wants a free phone on his contract? EDIT: anyway, since he's posting here, he clearly wants to be persuaded that the mini pro is the phone for him ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] FreeZr:
i dont even think the screen is too small :O it's a perfectly sized smartphone for your pants pocket :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] namtheman1221:
Yeahh, i bought Mini 1 month ago, this's great even though it is considered to be not really manly :)) However, i love the way to onw something that's "small" but "powerful"

So, highly recommend
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] barrist:
Yes this phone is deceptive because it may seem like an entry level phone, it has the same internal specs as the other more "high end" phones in SE's lineup. That coupled with the fact that the processor only has to power a 3" screen as opposed to a 4" screen means it should in theory be better performing.

my only small thing is the battery (maybe its an android thing in general) is fairly weak imo. I'm waiting for a third party 1600mah battery to arrive and hopefully it'll improve.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] FreeZr:
it's really powerful yeah. all the emulators run so damn smooth.

the battery is indeed an issue. i bought myself another stock battery and a charging station. I never need to charge the phone itself :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Izzy Stinson:
Hey. My previous phone was Optimus One, I sold it and bought the xperia mini pro and never regrets it.

Remember the optimus one issues? Multitouch problem, lag when hold screen, worse battery life than xperia mini pro, 3mp camera w no flash, video recording is pretty low and not HD, lag when playing bigger HD games.

Well none of the above happens on the xperia mini pro. So just sell your optimus one and buy the mini pro just like me. Youll like it :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kiavik:
Well the dfference I have noticed is quite big: while the N82 shows full strength signal the Mini Pro shows no bar and it even drops the signal if hold it with my hand instead of 2 fingers. Both phones have a SIM from 3 wich is an operator that only uses 3G networks.

It is definitely an operator's coverage related issue because it doesn't happen in my hometown but still it's a sign that the phone's reception is not as good as the N82.

In other forums I have read about people complaining about this issue but only for the Mini Pro, the Mini from what I've read has a better reception.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] leons09:
Yes , The same to me , Just sold O1 is suck when gaming , but Some Dev has fix it already in CFW ...! Now Mini pro is fast far than O1 lolx :D
