Please tell me how do I root my phone? I have the build 4.0.2.A.0.62. I didn't find any proper guide. please help me.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
4.0.2.A.0.62 cannot be rooted, because the exploit has been fixed.

Currently, you need to downgrade to older firmware(.52 or .58 for example), that can be done either with WotanServer or with Flashtool(requires correct files), then root with program in this topic http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1346198. After that, just make OTA(Over the Air) update to .62 firmware, root stays(at least it stayed on my LWW).
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ark4k33:
Can you please give me the link to the procedure for downgrading to .52 or .58. The flashtool one.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] QeneX:
Wrong Thread!

This is the development section. Ask in Q/A; General.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] T3sla:
This guide will help you:)Although some things change from phone to phone like which button you press for booting into flashmode;)For mini pro i think it's the volume down key.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ark4k33:
Now where do I find the .42 Rom?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ark4k33:
Thank you all. I was able to flash back to .58 and rooted it. And updated via OTA to .62. XDA ftw.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magiciano:
Hi there,

Currently my phone has no ROM and a disfunctioning ClockworkMod Recovery. (It cannot install zips or take updates).

Therefore I'm using ADB to flash a new recovery and ROM into the phone.

mount data

Results in:

mount: can't find /etc/fstab: No such file or directory

So I copied my file into the /data/ folder with

adb push c:\rom.zip /data/

This was done successful.

After that I tried to install the rom.zip using

adb shell
recovery --update_package=DATA:rom.zip

Unfortunately this results in:

sh: /sbin/postrecoveryboot.sh: not found

Also tried to replace the recovery.img but this also resulted in:

sh: /sbin/postrecoveryboot.sh: not found

In short:

Can't mount USB in ClockWorkMod

Can't access phone files with Windows Explorer

Can't use Kies to recover phone.

Can't use ClockWorkMod to install a zip or update.

Can't do normal boot.

Can't mount data using ADB.

Can't install recovery ROM using ADB.

I can't think of any way to fix this, hope someone else can help me with this.

[Off-topic] Athrun88:
Not sure if anyone else has similar hardware or have encountered a similar situation but XDA is always a good place for resources.

I have a Netgear N600 router that is constantly accessing the internet even when there are no computers or devices accessing it. I have tried turning off the wifi and disconnecting the ethernet cables to isolate it from any devices. It's constantly pinging and accessing the internet. When I have my computers plugged directly into my modem, nothing accesses the internet unless it's requested. This leads me to believe that my router is doing something funny.

I've tried updating the firmware and isolating everything with MAC addresses as well. Tried running with no customization and full customization. Just need some help short of replacing this thing because in truth, it works great.

Thanks.

thanx mate . Your job is Great .

As I said I think this is fun to mod ICS framework-res.apk to have smooth spinner and as i saw your Crafted theme I think you can do this .

it will be nice to make it for both odex and deodexed Roms of ics specially XXLPQ

and a little more : i think making an independent CWM package is more easier and user friendly for apply and use your work . THANKS

please post your work progress here
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] janis605:
By how much % ?

I can also make a version which uses the standard TouchWiz spinners, if you want.

Sorry but, when your phone is "thinking" very hard, the spinner may lag a bit. I can't do anything against that.

No, not for something this small. I will use MetaMorph, because it is

ROM independent

. So one zip for every Android 4.0 ROM.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] amirsardari:
make it thikker about 10% in progress small and medium . progress large is good by itself

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkOmnius:
Hello everyone,

I've been using normal andriod with touchwiz for about a year now and Im really in the mood for something new. I've been reading up on ics but was dissapointed to hear that the ui hardly changes due to touchwiz.

So I've been reading up on ROMS and the whole development thing and i'm now contemplating trying to install one. From a lot of reactions it sounds really exciting though I also read that a lot can go wrong.

So I've been thinking about ressurection remix and have been watching those movies at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1436854

I have a few questions about it, perhaps someone who installed it can explain.

First question, there is a guide to install a rom and a guide to install a kernel, but in the movie the guy says that the rom comes with the kernel preinstalled. So why is there a guide for the kernel then? Do i need to install a seperate kernel at the end for the ultimate experience or can i just ignore that part?

I can save my apps with titanium backup right? Does it save all the settings in apps too or only the apps themselves?

Any other tips/advice for a beginner or should i just try the guide on that site and see if me and my phone survives?

Thanks in advance. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okmijnlp:
If the kernel come preinstalled you needn't worry about flashing another kernel, but I'd recommend checking out a few different kernels to see which one suites your needs.

Titanium backup backs up the app and the apps data.

Extra advice: make a full backup with CWM!

If you're not happy with that ROM, check out MIUI, it has plenty of themes, including ICS.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jivojivo:
Hi,

I've been using V9.7 for a week and everything works for me.

If i remember : yes you need a "gapps.zip" and a "gappsfixer.zip" for V9.6.

You've to follow the same setps (as for V9.7) :

- install V9.6 Remix

- install gapps

- install gappsfixer

- dalvik cache

- and then reboot

after installing the 3 files above in that order .. isnt it

- wipe cache

- enter "advanced" on menu .. then

- wipe dalvik cache

- fix permissions

I've noticed they omitted the fix permissions part on 9.7?? but I still did it

Also I agree v9.6 is more stable without the display errors of white on white and black on black text, plus you can install LPJ kernel on v9.6 (i'd try Siyah's not the one on westcrip's rom page)

I'm using Siyah without any problems.. no fc's

I think if you install Siyah's after you've freshly installed 9.6 may have something to do with it not causing fc's .. don't know why tho?..

So here is the thing

There is a charge for Xperia S called ep850

Indeed it is the charger that some reviews have mentioned that charges your mobile phone to the max on About 1 hour :D

I myself have an ordinary ep800 but I would like to buy a ep850

The problem is that I can not find it anywhere so i can buy it. :(

Mate can you give me the info thats on the charger.

Want to see the specs for it. maybe i can find one that's not exactly from sony
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] unknown13x:
I've mentioned it before. As long as it has 5V and more than 1.5A output, it'll act the same as the EP850. I used my Transformer Prime charger which outputs 1.2A to 2A and it charges in an hour too. Try finding chargers that are used for high capacity devices like a tablet charger.

Doesnt to much mA hurt your phone? Let we say the battery?

Or does the Phone allow max 1500mA?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] unknown13x:
It does more damage to the charger actually. The battery only accepts a certain level of current, but if you have a charger that feeds in higher, it heats up for not being able to pass it to the device.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] taxas:
so basically if i take the Ipad charger it will be the same as the EP850?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] wuileng:
Ok, I've tried the iPad charger but it doesn't seem to fast charge the phone.

You said earlier that in reviews the EP850 brings the phone to maximum charge in about an hour.

With the iPad charger I got from 3% to 36% in an hour, so nowhere close.

I bought a 1.5A USB charger (not EP850 as I still can't find this) on eBay - will let you know if it works.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] krohnjw:
I grabbed a 2.1A charger today and will run it down and charge it up tomorrow to see how it does.

Using a 1A charger today it took about 45 minutes to go 45% (38% to 83%). We'll see if a 2.1A charger makes a difference tomorrow.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] krohnjw:
Ok, so the 2.1 A charger was going SLOOOOOW. I grabbed an app from the market to try to grab the charging voltage and see why! Not all chargers are created equal. Below are some results from chargers I have around tested with the SE USB cable and a standard HTC USB cable.

Manufacturer	Output	High	Low	Common Range
HTC	1 A	700 mA	150mA	150-300 mA
Belkin	2.1 A	400 mA	87 mA	100-250 mA
Samsung	0.70 A	686 mA	570 mA	600-650 mA
Nokia	1 A	780 mA	888 mA	825 mA
SE EP800	0.85 A	730 mA	500 mA	650-715 mA
Samsung	1 A	688 mA	857 mA	750 -850 mA

These were all tested (screen on, min brightness) while charging for a period of time, manually refreshing and grabbing amperage. I was really surprised to see the low amperage for the HTC 1A charger (From the Nexus One) and the new Belkin 2.1A charger (iPad). The Nokia 1A and Samsung 1A (from the Galaxy Nexus) really take the cake here. It's no 1.5A though. Hopefully anyone who picks up a 1.5A+ charger will have better luck. I can't recommend this at all: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004CLYJ0K/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details

I'll test the car charger that came with it tomorrow and see what it outputs versus a few others I have around.

I wonder how an original Ipad charger will perform
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] darkz:
