[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Dr. Sheldon Cooper:
Hello, I'm new in this rooting thing, I want to know what are the merits and demerits of rooting my Xperia S phone?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] harfot:
Then please go to Q&A with your questions :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Androxyde:
I don't know how to set udev rules on Mint. But a good workaround is to run Flashtool as root user.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Stero!:
Thx, it works :) thx thx thx :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] -Harsh-:
There are no DE-merits:silly:, only merits :highfive:

Offcourse it will..just got mine root 2 days back =)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] NadavIs:

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] rombo2006:
pls tell me how, cause iam standing at first step - i click on the root button, flashtool make first step and then stop and its waiting for device...

must be unlocked bootloader?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] milton.bain:
Use Command Prompt to flash any custom pre rooted kernel in fastboot mode.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] NadavIs:
Can I unlock the bootloader of my XPERIA S with FT?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Androxyde:
Yes you can :) as far as your phone is officially unlockable
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] SWFlyerUK:
How about the Xperia Tablet S that's just been released? I've got one and would be willing to be a guinea pig as long as nothing can go wrong!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] NadavIs:
why can't i root my xperia s (6.1.A.2.45) with FT?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Androxyde:
Because until now, no root exploit was found.

Check FT 0.9.6.0. This version implements a new root exploit (thanks Bin4ry) and 6.1.A.2.45 can be rooted by FT now.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] akira.pwr:
why I can't drag an ftf file into FT window? It refuse the file... I don't understand what I'm doing wrong, drivers are installed. I'm on W7.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Androxyde:
is your ftf seen when you put it in the firmware folder ? if not, then your ftf file is corrupted. It could be a reason why drag&drop does not work
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] akira.pwr:
well, I try to redownload then, thanks :)

Last question, how can I run FT on Ubuntu? I'm not sure, but I think I have installed , but I'm noobie with Linux... :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] smallz2k:
Lt26/i Only?

I read somewhere there was a Flashtool made only for XSLt26/i is this it?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] akira.pwr:
I have a question, can be the kernel in a .img instead of .ftf to be dragged into FT?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Androxyde:
Not at the moment.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] akira.pwr:
I have img file, so I have to flash it with prompt... Thanks for answering

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DP4:
I'm trying to go back to stock firmware but whenever I try to flash any ftf file (I have tried 4 different ones) it gets stuck at 2% when processing amss_fs_2.sin

anyone know what I may be doing wrong ?

EDIT: think I've figured out my problem.

I think its to do with the new version of flashtool , I installed the 0.8.5.0 version and flashed the ftf again and it has flashed FTF fine.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hello_hello:
I am having the same problem as DP4 when flashing XPS 6.1.A.2.50 using flashtool v0.9.7

Remove and installed v0.9.0 instead, all is fine.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Androxyde:
Found a bug on 0.9.7 avoiding flashing. (bug with flashing amss_fs_1). Issue fixed in 0.9.8.0

The phone wont switch on at all now, only Red light while charging, the phone is fully charged
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Jazz Like That:
Flash a stock ftf using flashtool by keeping the phone in flashmode. Then everything comes back to normal.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Androxyde:
if you shutdown the phone, then plug the usb cable while pressing the voldown button, led will light on green meaning you are in flashmode.

do this procedure when FT asks you to turn the phone into flashmode when flashing a stock FTF

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Gamefreak2:

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Androxyde:
Everything is explained on the Homepage. Once all prerequisites met, unpack the targz file and run the FlashTool shell script.

You must have java6 installed (minimum version required)

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] HooLIMAN87:
Hello guys, i have a problem with udev rules. I added them into 51 android rules, but in flashtool it's saying that it doesn't have valid udev rules.

I installed libusb-1.0.9, installed ia32-libs. I can connect my phone in fastboot and in flashmode but it says that there are no rules added. :(

EDIT: Solved by adding SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="0fce", MODE="0666".

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Androxyde:
Sources are on github. I even posted a thread on how to get it easily in an eclipse environment.

So if you are unhappy with the way i release, just do it yourself :)

Complaining and complaining and complaining again ... are you french too? Lol :P

More than 2000 download per day from every contry. I don't think nobody can download it. Maybe it is long to download but if you cant wait, get it right from github. If you are too lazy to do so, then stop complaining.

Whatever the choosen sharing solution, there will always be some not happy with it.

I will not change my sharing policy.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] moizsami:
Hey sorry for the noobish question.. but if i turn on usb debugging mode and then just connect the device and choose the root option will it root my phone that easy ? or are there some steps i have to follow....please help..(my bootloader is locked)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Androxyde:
If root hack works, then nothing more to do. Just clicking the Root button will root the device. Just that easy :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] G-FACE:
Click root icon. After the prompt turn on the phone (you will see the Backup&Restore app started) click on the Restore button below and wait for root confirmation from flashtool.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zabihjan:
if this is Xperia S thread rooting stuff

why the flashtool contains stuff even for older xperia devices which makes the file big and slow to download

the most confusing forum ever, i wish i had not bought xperia s

[Xperia Play Android Development] netizenmt:
I'm pretty sure Xperia4Life was directing his comments to wredj10, not you.

Xperia4Life, you're going to have to learn to be able to take both positive and negative comments if you ever want to be taken seriously as a dev.

Wredj10, it's pretty much true of all ROMs that they are some variation of a stock ROM. Your comment, while containing some truth, was both obvious and useless as feedback to a young dev. If you want to be helpful, perhaps you could make some suggestions of what you would like to see in future updates, instead of just bashing it.

Hello,

I cannot find the setting "Update Frequency" at the Friend Stream Twitter for HTC widget. At the other wigdets (like weather) there is the option Update Frequency.

I go to Accounts and Synchronise, press Twitter for HTC Sense and I only see 'synchronise tweets' and 'Synchronise friend'.

Yet when I press for example 'weather' I do get the update frequency option. I'd like if that also work for Twitter.

How do I attain that?
[HTC One X] allo2u:
Same here, no update frequency setting for both facebook and twitter in Friendstream! Guess HTC needs to update?

Probably in FriendStream itself
[TouchPad General] nightanole:
ok you have to usb surf to get build 30 to charge the first time.

Download current widget. It will tell you how much you are drawing from the port vs battery.

once you have it up and running plug in the TP into a pc. Watch for the current draw to drop to 400ma or less. This means its sucking some power from the usb port, and from the battery. Once its sucking juice from the usb port unplug the cable and wait for the current draw to pop back up to 650-900ma. Then plug in the charger. It should start sucking over an amp, and the lightning bolt on the current widget should turn green.
[TouchPad General] lauterm:
I thought it was just me. I went back to the cm9 nightlies.
[TouchPad General] ming3r:
Hm...mine seems to be charging fine, but I'm only using a motorola charger at the moment so no faster charge.
[TouchPad General] lauterm:
I was using the HP charger that came with it. I plugged it in last night like usual with the screen and wifi off. It was still at 0% this morning.

EDIT: Hmm,I may have just let mine discharge too much. I did run it all the way down. In another thread, I found this:

"If you let it drain that much, you MUST use the provided adapters and start the charge process within WebOS. It's a bug that exists where when you let it drain too much, it sets the charge level to Trickle Charge (to help prevent damage to the charge circuits and battery). So, boot it with the provided charger (Touchstone or the charge plug and cord that came with the box) into WebOS and let it power-charge that way, and you're set. Once it's charged to about a quarter, you're good to go back to Android and charge fast from there." --ve6ay

Have you ever install custom kernel with CwMR integrated yet?

If not, do so b4 flashing custom ROM
[Android General] jcomana:
Thanks for your response. I am a rookie in this mather. I tried with a ROM MANAGER but the app, I feel only handling CWR ROM's???.

It's ask about permissions a I applied. Later I open the recovery (up/down volume, power & home bottons), but I didn't see any different options than wipe,s update boot and locate room from the sd. My Zip handler in free fkrom the market.

I am still confuse with the message.

[Android General] n1newbie:
no ROM MANAGER has almost all available roms for ur device.

so i guess you should be using clockworkmod recovery.

while in recovery choose install zip from sd card. and in there ull find toggle signature verfication.
[Android General] jcomana:
Ahh ok

I just check it in my phone. ROM Mger include a CWN recovery inside. its has both options to install Roms , isn't is??? CWMR I can not find as a separate app.

Sorry for all the disturbs.
[Android General] n1newbie:
CWM recovery is not an app as like ROM MANAGER. its recovery.

and you can use rom manager to flash cwm recovery. and with recovery u can flash new rom,backup the current rom and more :)
[Android General] jcomana:
Hi friend...time with no contact..jaja. I need a new help from you. I read in others forums that the problem with the AT&T SG2 to install other ROMS or Kernel is based in the 3rd edition of the Recovery System which not permit to open zip files without verification of the signature.

They recomend to downgrade to a second edition trough a personalize kernel and install with ODIN. This kernel has to locate in XDA forum as a zip file like CF-Root-XXX bla-bla...to install later. I checked and is confused due to a several options. that the point of the help I need from you.

My phone OS is coming with Gb 2.3.4

Baseband version I777UCKH7

KERNEL version 2.6.35.7

Build number UCKH7

Could you please directed me which version of the CF-Root.... have to download????
