Hey seatone,

Installed the kernel from OP. Phone works smoother now. I tried to find the downloadlink for the repack4pda rom, but failed. The place where the link is, remains blank. Guess I'd have to register at 4pda to get it. Could you tell me what the major differences compared to a rooted and bloatware removed stock SE rom with batterymod and transparent status bar (as i have now) are?

Thanks,

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Please make it more detail on this part:

5. Flash the rooting kernel

Because the previous steps are detailed, but this one isn't. is that includes unlocking bootloader? Thanks.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jackchua65:
No it is not include unlocking bootloader.

In short for flashing kernel, issue command line “fastboot.exe flash boot boot.img”.

In long, read the guide from Arc, which is almost the same as Ray.

Thx but in my previous trial with the same fastboot command for hartej kernel for OC, the fastboot gives an error, saying that the device must be rooted first, even though super user already installed. So i'm not sure why..

Edit: yeah this is for those who have unlocked bootloader, thx OP. Might be better 4 u to include the unlocking bootloader in the stepbystep guide.

Thanks but No that's not what i meant. If OP wants to help the community by following his tutorial, please provide the tutorial as if the phone is still new from the box.

If the tutorial starts with unlocked bootloader as requirement (which is already advanced IMHO), then it is not a tutorial, because tutorial is for n00bs like me. It is to make n00bs not asking a same question over and over too. So yeah, just a suggestion. Sorry if I am too harsh, just proving my point about what's the function of tutorial.

Thanks for posting aire's latest kernel, I have try it and it is one of the best kernel in term of battery usage.

This prompt me to find out more information about this kernel.

So what I get from google translation :

What is this kernel:

+ Extreme andevolt over all frequencies.

+ Support for file systems: ext2, ext3, ext4, yaffs2, vfat, ntfs.

+ Ability to overkloka 1.4 GHz.

+ Frequency of default from 122 to 1024 MHz.

+ Supports startup scripts init.d.

+ Governer default smartassV2.

+ ClockWorkMod Recovery 5.0.2.7.

+ Removed services collect anonymous statistics.

+ Removed support fota.

+ Support dvuhstronney record from the line.

Does it mean ClockWorkMod Recovery is already in this kernel? Or still need to RUN the CWM recovery install software in the OP? After flashing this kernel, I press vol- and power, the CWM didn't activate.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Xtremy:
- "press and hold the VOL down button" did not work on my Ray,

After a while I found out to "press and release continuously the volume down button" to get into CWM recovery!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] jackchua65:
Thanks for the pointer. I can goto CWM now.

That is confirm, if you use this kernel bootuv5.img from aire, you don't need to flash the CMW from the OP.

Hi,

I'd like to get help regarding the feasibility/risks of following project:

I have a carrier unlocked brand new Xperia Ray bought from HK through ebay.

It came with 4.0.2.A.0.58 firmware.

My goal is to be able perform two-way recordings of my phone conversation (unfortunately, I'm dealing with semi-mafiosi people and I need to systematically record them...)

After trying many apps from the market, none worked, they all record from mic only, I now understand that it is my Kernel that restricts two-way recordings.

After a lot of readings, I came to the conclusion that I need to:

unlock my boot loader (using test method to keep DRM)

unroot my phone

flash 4.0.2.A.0.42 generic firmware

flash rooting Kernel (what is this step for?)

flash the patched factory kernel that enables the dual mode recording

install call recording app

does that seems reasonnable?

I just want to be able to record phone calls, I'm not interested in extend the phone's capabilities, I'm happy with it as is :)

change my firmware
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
step 2 is unnecessary.

step 3, you may try 4.0.2.A.0.62 one, it's baseband is much better than 42 IMHO

step 4, if you use 62 one,the only way to root the ROM is to load custom kernel for a moment to install root package.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] zettto:
Can I keep the one I have (58)? If not, where can I find the 62 and what region is it supposed to represent?

I thought I will flash the Factory patched KERNEL not a ROM, why do I need to flash a Kernel to replace with another? I know I'm missing something here :(

Thanks for your answer;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Yes you can, AFAIK 62 is for Equator regions (Asia Africa). 58 i haven't tried it but should be better than 42 i guess. You may try to download from the next thread.

for 62 firmware, the only way to root is to temporarily load custom kernel (not flashing it, just loading it; keep it in mind) that has CWM recovery built in. once you apply the flashable root inject zip from CWM, then the ROM is rooted.

You can read the whole process here

AFAIK, even though it's just a patched kernel, it still needs unlocked booloader, because the lock mechanism keeps the original one intact. the only way to patch kernel is to unlock the bootloader.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] zettto:
Hi Hansip87,

thanks a lot. I read a lot to be less ignorant.

I see you also have an Xperia Ray.

Did you install the dual-recording Kernel? Other than the dual-recording and the possibility of overclocking, is there anything special about this Kernel/ROM?

Ah, for unrooting, I understood it's not necessairy, is it possible to do it after I install the new Kernel/ROM or it's better to do it now?

I'd like to remove unnecessary apps (bloatware), but it's not a priority ;)

If I understood correctly, I should never update firmware through the SE official website otherwise I would loose my customization, right?

I'm really intimidated by all that, even though I'm an engineer, but I try to foresee all potential difficulties so I'm not stuck in the middle or worse stuck with a brick!

Thanks again
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Double post sorry
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Well if i did not have one, i wouldn't go along way to write a tutorial and mods for ray wouldn't i? ;)

I don't use DMCR, but i do use the kernel that contains it. In fact all the overclocking and DMCR is already on one package. Thw othef benefit is undervolting so a little bit more efficient if not overclocked.

Do you mean unroot or root? Don't exchange the 2, unroot means you revert back to no root privilege. You should root after the updAte from seus though, because bloatware will return after update. And please please read my tutorial there's a guide to remove bloatware there.

Well whether you update from seus or flash tool, you will lose any customization either way.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] zettto:
LOL!

I was asking, cause I'm happy with my phone as it is now so I don't want to change it too much except for allowing the 2-way call recording.

sorry, I meant root.

I understand that bloatware would be back if I update after rooting and removing bloatware.

But, if I root before update, do I loose root privileges after the update?

I will

That's what I thought, so no updates if I want to keep te 2-way call recording unless I find a more recent ROM that contains the 2-way call recording...

THANNNNNNNNNKS
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] seatone:
Outdated OP.

As the opening post was written on the 9th of December 2011, now it becamed outdated.

At that time, this was the easieset way for root, DMCR, CWR.

Now there are easier ways to root your device.

There are newer roms, kernels that already contains the DMCR and CWR.

I do not have time to update the OP.

So please keep this in mind while you read this topic!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] zettto:
DMCR?

Hi

Can you tell us what is DMCR (Dual Mode Clean Room)?

I couldn't find it in the forum.

Can you please tell us where are the easier ways to root

Thanks
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] yujin_11:
I think it's Dual Mode Call Recording, it refers to the ability to record the whole conversation(your voice and the voice of the person on the other line).

Gave it a try.. Wit the RUU method it always gave an error on my desktop and a security and update fail on my phone

So i copied the PG32IMG.zip on my sdcard and bootloader found the file.

What now :confused:
[HTC Incredible S] Method01:
nobody who can help plz?
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
OK, in reading through your posts, it sounds like you currently have HBOOT version 2.00.0000 Unlocked on your phone. That version is not going to let you install an older RUU/PG32IMG.zip file. You will have to flash the Sense 3.0 /3.08.405.3 RUU to get rid of CM7.
[HTC Incredible S] Method01:
That's correct.

I used the P32IMG.zip from:

RUU_VIVO_SENSE30_S_HTC_WWE_3.08.405.3_Radio_20.4802.30.0822U_3822.10.08.28_M_release_227170_signed.exe

That is already the right one, not?

When I use the RUU installer on pc it says I'll update from image version 2.30.405.1 to 3.08.405.3
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Yes that is the right one. Everything looks good.
[HTC Incredible S] Method01:
Strange thing is that I always tried with that one and it didn't update..
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
OK, since you have the HBOOT in an UNLOCKED state, the PG32IMG.zip/RUU will not update. You need to go into FASTBOOT mode and relock the HBOOT and then you can flash the PG32IMG.zip file.

Here's a link:

Hi Guys,

[YOUTUBE]j0MBtXlECOA[/YOUTUBE]

*edit*

Teaser time is over, here is the build.

Version alpha 1 is here, nothing new for A101, it just adds touchscreen for A80 owners.

Preliminary warning: this is buggy as hell, don't expect a functional build. This is only if you want to get an early taste of ICS. And as usual, I'm not responsible if you blow your tablet.

What works:

- Framebuffer with 3D driver enabled.

- Touchscreen (A101 only)

- Wifi

What doesn't work:

- Everything else :)

- Internal storage is not mounted.

- Most notably, audio/video/power management/charging.

Instructions:

- You need sde menu enabled, see instructions here if you didn't do it already.

- Copy sysroot_ice.img to internal storage root:

adb push sysroot_ice.img /data/media

- In developer menu, flash kernel and initrd from zip file:

On boot menu, select "Recovery system"

Select "developer edition menu"/"flash kernel and initramfs"

A drive should appear on your PC, copy zImage and initramfs.cpio.gz to it.

Select OK, the kernel should flash.

Select OK to reboot.

- Choose developer edition in boot menu

You should see two menus coming before boot, just wait for timeout. Other options won't work for your device.

Informations/Tips:

- Wifi AP scan doesn't work at first. Just add a dummy network, it doesn't matter if it doesn't exist really, scan will work after that (on wifi panel, click on "Add Network" button, top right of the screen then type "dummy" as network SSID, then OK).

- As I didn't want to interfere with regular build, data partition is the same as system image file, so there is only about 90M for apps.

I don't need feedback on bugs and problem running it as there is too many in current state. But let me know if you were able to run it though.

Updates

12/12/2011 - version alpha1, should support A80 now. Thanks to a1Pha for the test!

Thanks,

LeTama

Hi Cajl,

The zImage and initramfs.cpio.gz ? These are the one that must be flashed through sde. I added the instructions in first post, this is the same thing as previous rooted firmware.

As it is, the initrd is not compatible with previous rooted firmware, you'll loose the possibility to run it after flashing ice kernel+initrd. You can reflash it again afterwards though.
[Gen9, Gen10 General] letama:
Alpha 1 released, touchscreen should now work for 80 G9. Let me know if it doesn't work for you, there is two touchscreen drivers and only one is confirmed to work.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Why don't you read and educate yourself a little before each time you want to spill out another "smartness" in this forum? You were already "wise" enough in touchscreen thread, why would you want to repeat it?

Of course, Nexus One exists for almost 2 years, and during those 2 years nobody ever thought - "geez, why don't we overclock this thing to the moon"...

As a good exercise, try to search the forum or Google and get the answer yourself, why is the overclock on Nexus One limited to this specific number. And next time you have another smart idea, think - what is the chance that nobody thought of this before?
