Did you notice the lack of crt off efect or you have the crt off efect
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Theonewithideas:
Update is regional-based, which means you may not have new firmware in your area as soon as in some other, but update should certainly come after a while.

I got 2.3.4 on my Mini about two weeks ago.

dude you don't need to unlock it. as its official rom you can directly flash it. as i did.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] saugatdb:
@majeet

i guess shravan already answered your questions, I already flashed my mini pro today with nordic 2 rom (don't try nordic 1, you will get crc failed error afater downloading the full rom) using the wootan client.

You will have to root your phone whose guide is already given in that thread only.

the only issue you will have is with the hardware keyboard & for that you will find the h/w keyboard fix link in that thread only.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] shravanchoudhary9:
well i don't even rooted. i have installed UK FIRMWARE, keyboard is as it is before. only other local indian languages like banagali, hindi gone. but we have HINGLSIH:D.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] arunavmamc05:
I updated with latest firmware and my device supports Bangla as well as Hindi language. Check screenshots for details. New firmware is cool though.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] saugatdb:
@shravan

uk firmware doesn't have hindi or begali support (as far as the info which i have)

i installed nordic 2 & i have it. Also, i guess UK keyboard uses qwerty-en by default, thats why you din't had any issue while I used nordic 2 & that's why I had to modify my keyprint.xml file

i guess arunava also used nordic 2 (or may be nordic 1??)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] FreeZr:
Is the update worth it? Any performance improvements or so?

I guess i'll just stay with 2.3.3 and root it using the exploit
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] manjeet15:
actualy i dont want to update with any other regions update in india many update kits are out for mini pro & i only want to update with Indian firmware there is many resons behind this

i only want a method by which i change something in build.prop file & after that SEUS will recognised it as indian xperia mini pro which latest update is already out (firmware kit) that helps me to update easily with indian firmware.

i did it earlier but its not working ryt now thats why i asking for help

i dont want to flash it with any other regions bcause there is many setting/options/applications are customied region by region & i want to stick with indian firmware.

i know my fone's kit will be out in 1-2 days by sonyericsson as they keep adding different kits but i want to get updated little bit fast thats why i asked. & if i update any other version of kit via flashtool its hard to get indian version again unless any indian user will not provide us with that firmware.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] manjeet15:

Tried Updating my new experia mini pro to 2.3.4 version last night(Oct,29), through PC Companion but it did'nt show any updates however it asked me if i want to repair my phone..continued..it downloaded something for few minutes then my vaio kept on crashing ..tried same thing on a PC downloaded lot more stuff, no crashing but at the end of 'Prepare' step a dialog box popped up saying there is some error.

Don't know whats wrong with SE update manager on my phone but it still doesnt show any updates available while my phone is still running 2.3.3

Sony Ericsson should com up with an official statement about in which regions these updates are available.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] stickedy:
There's a list which SIs are now updated: ttp://blogs.sonyericsson.com/products/2011/10/28/global-roll-out-of-new-software/#more-3936

Anyway, if you don't want to wait, just change the SI to a updated one and if necessary change the keyboard layout after that. Did that to mine this night, everything fine now with 2.3.4 :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] acb123:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] manjeet15:
Yes I think your SI no is also not updated yet.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] yiuchuent:
maybe wait is the only way :( :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] manjeet15:
True said I too waiting for da update may be we will get update in next 1-20 days
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] stickedy:
You have to root your phone (look at the proper thread for that) and then edit two files:

/system/Build.prop

/etc/customization/settings/cust.prop

there you'll find entries of the SI code (two in the first file, one in the second), change them to a desired one. I used 1249-8053, but other should work, too. Since this was the code for Nordic 2 firmware, I got a danish qwerty keyboard after that, but this could easily be fixed (look at other thread).
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] manjeet15:
hey thanx bro i keep asking for this from yesterday

i just changed build.prop but this cant help me i didnt change this 2nd file too

will try this & tell u what happened
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] manjeet15:
i tried 2-3 SI of indian xperia mini pro & at last this (1249-4830) one is working downloading update now with SEUS after that will check able to update correctly or not...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] manjeet15:
Final got updated via SEUS & with Indian firmware...thanx buddy im searching for this method but forget regarding cust.prop file

thanx again..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jiminee:
By 'crt off' you mean the screen timeout? If so, it's working for me.

Edit

I see what you mean, and yes that 'fade to white line' animation when turning the screen off seems to be gone. Looks like they replaced it with a 'fast fade to centre' effect, or maybe its just my eyes lol

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dannejanne:
Not sure how to fix that if you don't get into the launcher. I guess you could always reflash any android version with the FlashTool if no one else can chim in here to help you. You would lose your setup and and start fresh. Better than not being able to boot the phone anyway.

Sorry I can't be of more assistance.

Just rooted my R800x phone (HUGE thanks to those who developed the method to root the r800x, you guys kick so much ayse!) and I'm looking for some awesome things to do now that I'm rooted. Already have Barnacle Wifi tether, along with Sixaxis controller (I know we don't need it on an XPlay, but it's still totally awesome to have), and removed some Verizon bloatware BS.

Please give some suggestions, it will be much appreciated! I'm sure there have been more people like me who recently rooted that aren't up to date on this whole rooting thing.
[Xperia Play General] juxtapose519:
My favourites are:

Juice Defender - Save battery

ASTRO File Manager - Access OS files and install 3rd party .apk's

AdAway - Remove ads from free apps

Chainfire3D - Install drivers for other devices

Quick Boot - Gives you a reboot function and easy access to your bootloader

MarketEnabler - Lets you change your region so you can download apps not normally available where you are

SlideME - Third party marketplace with access to apps disallowed by Google

And of course a ridiculous number of emulators.
[Xperia Play General] CrimsonKnight13:
Quick and easy access to the shell with root is great.

Modification/replacement/addition to the system to utilize more features than stock.

Titanium Backup -backup/uninstall/freeze any apk on the system
[Xperia Play General] Erikwithafro:
Have Astro and the ever amazing emulators, but everything else you mentioned sounds pretty sweet.
[Xperia Play General] Erikwithafro:
Not quite sure what the first two mean, but TB is excellent!
[Xperia Play General] crescentmage:
I agree with much of what others have said, particularly Titanium Backup (the pro version is definitely worth it).

I would add the following:

LBE Privacy Guide - block any application from accessing your contacts, sending SMS, etc. After installing, I was amazed how many apps were accessing things in the background.

Wireless tether - tether with bluetooth rather than Wifi (much more battery efficient)

Make the home button stop activating the screen (this has saved me a lot of battery life)
[Xperia Play General] juxtapose519:
The only reason I didn't mention Ti Backup is because I assumed it was a given that it's the greatest app ever. Worth every penny for the paid version.
[Xperia Play General] CrimsonKnight13:
Yeah, I have the Pro version & I won't stop using ever.

I also have the donate version of the ROM Manager for Clockwork Mod but I can't use it with the R800x until a method to unlock the bootloader is unvailable. It was very useful when I had a Samsung Fascinate.
[Xperia Play General] Erikwithafro:
Thanks for the suggestions guys, keep em coming if you have more! I got a few of them and they're really cool so far! Anyone know if the touchpads can be used in any ps1 emulators? I have the latest FPse, but it doesn't seem to let me use the analog pads...someone needs to fix this and fast!
[Xperia Play General] bubblegumballoon:
Yeah just use the psxperia method, it basically injecting you custom games into sonys emulator (which has touchpad support). I made a video tutorial here if you wanna know how to do it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaZuKZQoBwA

I dont think it work on 2.3.4 though, thats why im not updating yet. :)

[Galaxy S II General] toxicdust:
Hi All

I got my international version SGS2 about 3 weeks ago. I am very happy with how its holding up currently but am trying to get the best battery life out of my phone. Coming from a Wave that lasted me 5 days without a problem I am trying to get something close to that.

I have a low to med usage pattern and it will most likely not change in the near future. I bought myself the Origianl Extended Battery 2000mAh and putting it through its paces now and currently on my 1st cycle.

Here is where I need the solid advice...

I am on the Original XFA firmware Android 2.3.3

1. I need to know if I can revert everything back to the original firmware when I need it and remove the root as well?

2. Can someone provide me with the Original FW as I have checked Check Fus and it cant even find the one installed on my phone?

3. Are the benefits of later Android versions really that much better or will I experience much the same as I am experiencing now on the Stock FW?

4. What are the real benefits of rooting and how does it affect my phone?

5. What Kernel should I flash if I decide to root my device as there are hundreds out there with no real explanation of the difference?

These are just some of my concerns and even though 2 days of reading XDA provided some idea into some of these things the explanations was very vague and not really helpfull in understanding what the actual benefits would be

If anyone could assist me I would be very grateful.
[Galaxy S II General] rembrandtlnx:
Hello, so.. i realize my english isnt perfect, im sorry:

1. When you root, you will have Clockworkmod recovery. This recovery allows you to do a nandroid backup, this backup can be used when you want, to restore the phone with a perfect mirror image of when you created the backup. Ofc it requires a rooted phone, this means it will mirror your 2.3.3 firmware, with root.

2. Intratech link to official firmwares: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

This firmwares are originals, this mean the phone is going back to the original status as when you bought it (no root, no cwm). This will not remove the Download mode Counter that is incresed by 1 everytime you flash a custom firmware/kernel (rooting increases it).

3. Yes, the benefits can be noticed by a lot more smooth interface, faster browser, and some other small things. Specially if you are experiencing the "yellow left side screen" from the 2.3.5 it got fixed.

4. This is a good question, if you ask it, means you are quite happy with your actual situation and dont feel the need of rooting.

The real benefits are to be able to flash custom roms or kernels, that usually give more speed and gadgets compared to the stock firmware. This also allow you to use themes, to change partially or totally the aspect of your phone.

Some games dosnt work (not optimized for the S2) but with chainfire 3d (requires root) you can run almost every game for android).

5. You must start with CF-Root (easiest way) for root, this link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103399

Install latest Samsung Kies to get latest samsung mobile usb drivers, but be 100% sure to kill kies process tree (from task manager) before flash with odin, kies dosnt like odin and blocks it at some point, resulting in a chance to semi brick the phone.

Carefull follow the instructions on the post and in 20-30 seconds you done.

After you obtained root, all the kernels for the S2 can be used, most populars are speedmod and siyah (im on this last) due the great stabilty/speed.

As last note, please be sure 100% you want/need to root:

Rooting void your warranty, ofc you can buy a usb jig to reset the counter and have again your warranty.

Be sure you understand rooting is not 100% safe, nor is any rom/kernel that you will flash.

Nowdays is really hard to brick a phone, but a really small chance to brick is always here, specially if you are not 100% sure on what you are doing.
[Galaxy S II General] toxicdust:
@rembrandtlnx

Thanks a lot. You have been more helpful than reading XDA for 2 days solidly trying to find out what to do.

At the current moment I don't really see any benefit in rooting. My phone is not presenting with any of the battery draining bugs some users are finding so I am not sure if updating the firmware would be that helpful.

I don't use my phone for a gaming station so I don't play games on it.
[Galaxy S II General] rembrandtlnx:
Indeed if you are happy on the actual rom for you rooting dosnt make a big difference. I rooted both mines mainly to have the Miui, i always wanted it but my old poor phone wasnt supported.

Anyway, feel free to ask in future if you change your mind
[Galaxy S II General] toxicdust:
I have another few questions

1. Reading your links I noticed I don't need to root to flash original firmwares to my phone. If I do flash a original firmware to my phone using Odin does my counter increase and will i have that annoying ! at boot up?

2. Is there some way to retain the CSC while flashing?

3. If I flash with just 1 .tar file it would seem to contain all 3 segments PDA, Phone and CSC or would it just replace the PDA and keep the Phone and CSC in tact?

What my aim is that I want to update my Android as I go along but don't want to drop my CSC and I prefer having the compatibility with my provider as it makes it easier and more compatible with the network especially for international dialling.

:D:D Take a bow from me for you must be a very unique person indeed,especially in these times when most people are itching to port ICS even before the official launch!!

Hopefully you have Kies installed in your PC in which case,all you have to do is connect your phone to your PC,start Kies and you will be told about the update that is available which is going to be some version of Gingerbread depending upon where you live.

As for Froyo,you can download any Froyo package from 'Ramad's' posts that you will find with minimum search in these forums and then flash through Odin.You will also find elaborate tutorials that will give you a wealth of information.

You are a modern day Rip Van Winkle surely! :D:D
