thx, again a member willing to help my!

So happy. :D

I wont to do anything wrong. As you explained i first should root the phone and then install the latest firmware.

So i downloaded this file DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su.zip.

This will do the following

[*] This script will:

(1) root ur device using latest zergRush exploit (21 Nov)

(2) install Busybox (1.18.4)

(3) install SU files (binary: 3.0.3 and apk: 3.0.6)

The text goes on with

[*] Before u begin:

(1) make sure u have installed adb drivers for ur device

(2) enable "USB DEBUGGING"

from (Menu\Settings\Applications\Development)

(3) enable "UNKNOWN SOURCES"

from (Menu\Settings\Applications)

(4) [OPTIONAL] increase screen timeout to 10 minutes

(5) connect USB cable to PHONE and then connect to PC

(6) skip "PC Companion Software" prompt on device

I am confused and blind :(

Where can i find the adb drivers?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ginryu:
just install pc companion and it will install the drivers for you once you connect your phone for the first time that's all.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] motorazrv3:
Just googled ;)

Thats the software i get for example from sony page hxxp://www.sonymobile.com/de/tools/pc-companion/ .

Am i right?

If so, then i am ready to root my live with walkman. Finally :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ginryu:
yep you are right
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] motorazrv3:
Yeah got it! :p

Superuser is in list for apps.

Now i will start the firmwareupdate ota.

New question again :rolleyes:

Why can't i connect to my fritzbox via wlan without my simcard plugged in? I get an error out of reach. If i put my simcard in, i can connect to my router.

My old mini didnt bother if the simcard isn't plugged it.

It still connects to the router.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ginryu:
never heard of anything like it. maybe it's a bug of the firmware?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] motorazrv3:
Update

Firmware 4.0.2.A.0.69 installed, Superuser still there. :cool:

So what should i do next?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ginryu:
You should install cwm from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1345741
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] motorazrv3:
What about this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1346190 using se extreme tweaker.

Should do the same and i find it easier to handle.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ginryu:
man i forgot about that one, yeah you are right and the bravia engine works like a charm too. :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] motorazrv3:
Success :cool:

Managed to enter cwm :p

Cwm displays "CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.7-nAa"

Hope that is the latest one.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ginryu:
yeah it is well there is a 5.5 version but i have only seen it in 1 custom kernel, by the way don't try to flash any custom rom with it or you will have trouble ok.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] motorazrv3:
Enough for today.

Here in germany it is 8pm (twenty o'clock).

Time to chill now.

Thank you very much to my 2 supporter helping me managing the first steps.

Hope you can help me again when i go on.

Wlan still not working without simcard inserted. Any Ideas what could be the problem or is that a normal behaviour?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] motorazrv3:
Yeah if i understood right, i have to unlock bootloader first flashing a custom rom.

But now with cwm installed i am able to backup my rom and restore it if i need, am i right?

On galaxy mini we werent able to back up the stock rom via cwm.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ginryu:
yep you are right. As of the odd thing with the wifi and the sim still no ideas.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] motorazrv3:
Whats the best way to unlock bootloader? Version 1 or Version 2.

I also found this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1560613 to unlock the bootloader which seems similar to version 1.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ginryu:
yeah this link is for a tool that will automatically unlock your bootloader via the first option the official way.

and well it depend on you. i had to use the test point because i had no other way and i can tell you it is easier than it looks.

with the test point method you will not lose the drm and official track id.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] motorazrv3:
Done. :cool:

Did it with the Bootloader Unlocking Tool 1.6.

Also took a look at service menue and it says "bootloader unlocked yes". :D

Now my phone is back to factory reset. :(

Superuser and cwm still there. :p
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ginryu:
but now you can flash custom kernels and rom. if you want to try ics i recommend you lasan miui as is the only one with dual speaker support.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] motorazrv3:
Moving over to next step.

Found a great rom fitting my personal preferences.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1373435

I have only one question. Does this rom function with stock kernel?

On mini i was cm7.2 spoilded. A great feature there was to link apps to an ext partition.

Is that possible with hybrom v16 or do i need to flash a custom kernel supporting moving apps to ext partition?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] motorazrv3:
A link would be helpfull. Also dual speaker is a must have.

I read that at the moment cm7 doesnt support dual speaker.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ginryu:
sure here you go http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1490166 this is the rom that i am using at the moment.

i think you need to flash a custom kernel for app to sd. if you want to use hybrom i recommend you the rage kernel here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1398910 or you can try the bbooff kernel here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1440161. those kernels are for stock or stock based.

if you want to try the rom i linked the kernel is on the zip file as boot.img.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] prateek_gemini:
Hello Guys ... I am another guy moving from samsung to sony now ( had ace before ) ...

I would be grateful if u can answer these ques ( these mayb posted already ..)

1) if once you unlock the bootloader , is it possible to lock it again ?

2) so if i understand correct it is in this order :

unlock bootloader ----> root ------> update firmware (OTA) ------> install custom kernel ------> install custom rom ... ?

Edit :

Ok found some answers .... as it turns out .. i can lock the bootloader again .... but i would need to flash the stock kernel fist and then flash stock firmware ..... are these both ( Stock kernel and stock firmware ) available here on xda ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
No, do not do OTA update with unlocked bootloader, else you will end up with brick(luckily Xperia's can be still saved, but still, don't).

Better unlock bootloader, install kernel and custom ROM, root and OTA are not needed if you want to directly install custom stuff.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] prateek_gemini:
ok .. so unlock bootloader ----> install kernel and rom ...

so when i have already installed kernel and custom rom ... is there still need to root ?? and i hear most kernels include cwm rite ??

OTA is not needed because most of the custom stuff would be latest .... rite ??...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ginryu:
If you install a custom kernel and rom you don't need to root they already come rooted.

Yeah I don't think you will ever need ota everything is here and is far more updated than official firm.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] prateek_gemini:
but i can ota with lock bootloader right ?? what if electricity went and internet is gone in the middle of ota... can it result in bricking ??
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
No, installation will be done only if download is fully completed. No bricks for you, boy.

And yes, OTA with locked bootloader is good.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] prateek_gemini:
When i click update center it shoss that your mobile is up to date..... But when i connect to pcc it shows available update of .62...... So i cant ota ?? Have to update using pcc only......??

Sorry for typos... Getting used to 3.2"
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
Try using other connection type, 3G or WiFi, and try again.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] prateek_gemini:
I can flash any firmware using WOTANSERVER without unlocking my bootloader. rite ?

Also same can be dont with flashtools.. but i have to download the firmware seperately like in a thread .58 firmware is given. also that firmware includes the kernel rite ? dont need to flash the kernel seperately ? ( NOT TALKING ABOUT CUSTOM ROM AND KERNEL ) This Firmware flsahing is all stock ... rite ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
WotanServer can be done with any bootloader.

About Flashtool, fastboot mode requires definitely unlocked bootloader, installing stock firmware can be done with any bootloader also.

Someone, correct me if I am wrong. I don't use Flashtool that much.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] prateek_gemini:
ok so ... For flashing custom kernel ---> Fastboot mode ( Requires unlocked bootloader)

For flashing Firmware -----> Flash mode --- > ( i thinkg by pressing down volume key .. rite ? ) .. ( Can be done on unlocked bootloader also ) .

PS : THANKS ALOT FOR HELPING ME ..

and u wrote u dnt use flashtool much .... so u must have flashed custom kernel using fastboot rite .... saw somewhere ...like going into cmd and then typing "fastboot flash boot.img"... something like that ....
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
Yes, firmware is Volume DOWN, can be done with both, unlocked and locked, bootloaders.

"fastboot flash boot boot.img" and yes, via fastboot.

@Someguyfromhell,

hey bro i have rooted lww as per your tutorial...

I have frozen few unwanted apps, still not getting enough battery life..

I checked with BBS, it shows awake time 3 hrs, while screen was on for just half an hr..

What should i do, i was thinking to change kernel, or should i change rom n kernel both?

btw @prateek_gemini, now u can change ur signature to LWW:)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] prateek_gemini:
Do you guys also experience phones to generate heat when screen is kep on for like 30-40 min playing gta -3.... touchscreen of phone became hotter ... is that normal ?

Edit : played music for 50 min through speakers... And phobe ws hot.... My battery indicator also indicates temp. Normally it is 37 c and after 50 min of music through speakers it was like 43 c.... Does tht happen to u guys too or shud i tak it to service centre ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ZsDaniel:
Hey guys!

I'm planning to buy a LwW at my carrier, and as I know it just uses SIM lock.

If I check one before buying with *#*#7378423#*#*, and if it says I can unlock the BL, then it can be reversible because the warranty? And I don't want SIM Unlock...

I really like FXP ROMs on X10i, so if it's possible I would like to use it LwW, but it needs unlocked BL and I need warranty...

Thanks in advance!

Edit...

Well, I read the instructions on unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com, and if I unlock the BL the warranty will be alive, but not in all cases. If I get the warranty from my carrier , then what can I do?

Thanks!

Edit 2...

Maybe I can live with stock ROM, but then can I give temp rootto restore my apps' and games' datas?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
That is with all smartphones. They get hot when using it on high load for long time. I played Real Racing 2 on my LWW, overclocked to 1.3 Ghz and got warm after some time. I took a pause to let the phone cool down.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
Unlocking bootloader voids warranty, but it can be relocked.

And yes, stock ROM can be rooted.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] rutu3:
@Someguyfromhell,

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] prateek_gemini:
Can relocking bootloader bring warranty back ....??

I hear there is something called as DRM which can never be brought back once bootloader is unlocked ( except when unlocking using test point method ) .. Am i rite ?

PS: Only Relocking method that i have found so far is using SE tools provided by quangnhut... Are there any others ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
Relocking bootloader is done with this file, which I have attached. Inside .rar file is the .ftf file for Flashtool.

DRM is indeed lost via official unlocking way(that is also by quangnhut's program) and when it is gone, it is completely gone without possibility to be restored.

Bringing back warranty...It could be if you return the phone to shop/service with fully stock ROM/kernel and locked bootloader. I am not sure, if they will check DRM or not.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] raz0r1991:
Hi guys, please i need help!

I'm doesn't right if here is the correct place to ask it (but i'm still a wt19i begginer, so i think i can ask here..)

I took the wt19i two weeks ago, and yesterday i started to mod it :cool:

So, i searched a lot (still searching, ill try different roms, i know thats it), getting started by that combo, Rage kernel 2.7 + Hybrom. previously sure unlocked with SE Unlocktool, now all is fine.

But i'm started to think about the kernels, and i see X kernel have Zram enabled by default... Rage not, but i saw there is zram to be added in a script too.

My question is now, What exactly does the zRAM? it is nice for play HD Games? and i want a opinion which is best for Gaming + battery moderate saving, i know thats is hard, of course i know that, playng games drain battery a lot faster, but i just need the "normal" drain like than before on stock, understand me xD?

Sry for noob questions, i really want to know it, tnx all here are very smart and apreciate the work on many roms, kernels and mods! thank you all!

Assuming it only works with the Sony tags right?

In that case, we need to buy those pesky Sony tags lol. :p

Otherwise, I have seen other apps out there that do the same to generic tags that can be purchased and programmed.
[HTC One X] HTC-Gunge:
Ok its kinda cool but i'm not sure I see the benefit... if for example you put one in your car to set the phone up for car usage then when you get into your car you need to remember to scan it? and like wise when you get out you need to scan it to reverse it?

ok the advert makes it a little more clear but not 100% sold yet... http://www.clove.co.uk/sony-xperia-nfc-smarttags-blue-white-red-black-4-pack
[HTC One X] easycure1974:
if I remember correctly scanning the tag again will not reverse the settings, you have to use another Smar Tag with the settings you wish to change to so it feels of very little use :)
[HTC One X] tsleng:
Well, you can get multiple NFC tags and set them to your liking. Then set one as the 'return to normal' tag and keep it close by.

http://rapidnfc.com/item/72/printed_nfc_stickers_ntag203_standard_nfc_logo

They are not expensive and come as stickers as well.

So can put the 'return to normal' tag inside a wallet for example (stick it to a card etc)

I am seriously thinking of getting some tags to fool around with :D
[HTC One X] HTC-Gunge:
Actually I thought I had seem something similar before:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...DEsImNvbS5qd3NvZnQubmZjYWN0aW9ubGF1bmNoZXIiXQ..

Watch the video, he shows setting two "profiles" onto one tag so the first time you scan it you would get car mode and then second time you scan it you get home mode for example.

Me too! Just noticed the link I posted was exact same as yours... ops!
[HTC One X] chris@r5:
I got the tags from a friend who has a Xperia S. I don't seem to get them to work properly. With te app from Sony (it is only a widget) it won't pop up as a tag. The One X only says it has found a new tag, but that's it.

Anyone tried this yet?

EDIT:

I installed Tag launcher to rewrite the SmartTags and enable them to launch apps.

Hi,

I recently got a Galaxy Note and am in the early stages of working with Android and would like a separate engineering workstation PC for this.. I have dedicated PCs for studio/music and general/gaming.. but I also have a netbook laying around gathering dust.

but the nightlies are more buggy than the rc's, the rc's are more buggy than the stable. The stable versions are just what the name says, IMO The stable versions are the best if you dont want to deal with bugs. If you are like me and dont mind them then go with nightlies or the RC's. Personally I am using the RC from the cyanogenmod site.

Till date no such application is able to do so (of course omnia's stock FM app is an exception ) he also added that much of the process is at hardware level

FM app bypasses all equilizer app (in 2.3+) so other recording apps are helpless
