I already read that ;) that's how I knew there were new updates today :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] zanduro:
Hey, hansip, did you have to flash back to GB to update via Sony's official PC companion or Mac bridge (since you seemed to already have the nordic ICS).
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
No, but i have to revert back the kernel though, from Sirkay's to Official one. Sirkay's kernel is still based on beta version so the PCC mark the phone as a beta phone that should not have official update.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kms108:
much smoother, also the amount of ram used is similar to GB.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] krabappel2548:
Can someone upload it? ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] *boy*racer*:
So just to make sure, has anyone got the update in the UK?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Xperia-Ray:
Finally I got the update notofocation in pccompanion for android 4, for my country(Israel)

but in the phone it only shows the 62FW update avalible- is it ok?

my ray is stock 2.3.4 fw58 rooted, locked bootloader sim free. cmw installed.

can I update via the pc companion? or I need to do somthing before?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] icsulescu:
Does anyone know which region is SI 1256-8054.4 FA,AR,EN and what do I need to do in order to get that SI back (I have flashed generic nordic 4.0.3 with WotanClient)

Thank you for support,

Looks like french Bouygues télécom handsets aren't getting ICS quite yet:

I didn't find 1251-7553 on http://talk.sonymobile.com/message/178141

I wonder if it's possible to change the SI code.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sirkay:
how to get over "modified software can not be update" to be able to get update from SE? is it build.prop or kernel? or relock bootloader?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
As i wrote in your thread, flash the official kernel (Nordic one) if staying at ICS or flash the whole GB ROM + kernel to get it ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sirkay:
am using GB + stock kernel right now.. then i have to do it OTA? or using SEUS?

no luck using SEUS
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] *boy*racer*:
For those who want to update over PC companion instead of flashing with the given ftf file, just edit the high lighted numbers in build.prop to the ones that match the list that already got the release.

Myself is still waiting for official release so I edited it to my SI code as using jj's hybrid.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sirkay:
ive got an updated for Software 4.1.A.0.562 thru PCC but "modified software cannot be updated" keep bugging me ..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Hmm.. did you unlock with official way? If so, guess you can only use any of the ICS ROM available here. If your SI code is not listed in the original thread though, you need to wait i guess :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sirkay:
yup unlock using Official way. my SI is there and i get notify Software update for 4.1.A.0.562 but get error "modified software cannot be updated". then i have to relock my BL again i guess

EDIT: relock BL success. download software ..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kms108:
you are going to brick your phone, you have to install ics manually using cwm or ftf file, OTA update will brick the phone if you have unlocked the BL the official way.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sirkay:
am doing just fine. Successfully using PCC after got bootloader relocked ;)

EDIT: for those who need to relock bootloader (after unlocked BL SE official way)

hey guys, i flashed the nordic ftf file a couple of days ago. how do i update via pc companion for my region's official release? do i need to go back to GB? i still have locked bootloader. thanks people.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kms108:
even if you relock the BL, you will still brick the phone, unlocking the official way does not allow install through OTA, although you can still download.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] balionelis:
Just updated to original rom with oficial sony soft and I can say wow . For me it's blazing fast. Games, programs opened like with dualcore Intel PC procesor.

It also added very good gallery.

But not all that great. I thaught that all ICS phones will get direct wifi... but no it doesn't have now. Maybe someone know or sony make update in the future to support wifi direct? Or only way to get is to root now? I'm afraid now a little bit, but I really want direct wifi :D .
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kms108:
wifi direct what does it do.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Neo_Ray:
Wifi problem

Hi Actually i update to ICS throught PC companion Already but wifi connection got problem. Always time out and error 927 when i am download app from Play store. Any one got the same problem with me and how to fix it T.T
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kms108:
ok with mine.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sirkay:
Erk? Am already successfully update software mate using PCC. Didnt mentioned update thru OTA
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kms108:
pcc update is still the same, if the BL has been unlocked using the official way, PCC or OTA will brick.

have you done it yet.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sirkay:
Do i have to repeat SUCCESSFULLY?!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kms108:
have you successfully updated to ICS and work, if so you have nothing to worry about.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sirkay:

Brand new french Ray, updated yesterday through PCC.

Android 4.0.3

Build 4.1.A.0.562

Smooth, but slightly less than GB.

Also my music library is now empty (files are still on SD card and music was OK with GB)

Wifi is fine too.

I did no test the camera.

Anyone else having issues with the music? (I'll have to try installing winamp)

Edit: my bad, looks like I have been a little bit too enthusiastic with the .nomedia after seeing all the pics in the gallery, checking...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kms108:
everything is working fine for me so far.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kms108:
720p quality, just like gb, no differences.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] spirit66:
:D

I mean is it choppy? I'm talking framerate stuttering!!!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kms108:
Ok quality just like on GB, I didn't expect too much since i dont have steady hands.

I never use it much, the camera quality is good, and I dont think ICS has improved the quality over GB.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
To solve chopiness just turn off stabilization while recording in hd.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] yujin_11:
does this work on the hybrid by JJDoctor?

@hansip: thanks, just got that working again... but now it's a bit choppier than the GB one
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mo22i:
can someone enlighten me.

Sent from my ST18i
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
The result video is quite nice actually. The choppiness when recording is probably because the limitation of our gpu while doing a layered preview

Well you just need to have the standard official (not beta based) kernel. Then you'll receive the update.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mo22i:
i did not install custom kernel. i know that both the nordic and my region's official update is somehow just the same. I just want to know how do i get my region's official update. I would go wotan if its still free. :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Then why don't you use PC Companion then? Seems like 'duh' question to me.. :rolleyes:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mo22i:
coz it says i have the latest firmware. i know i have the latest firmware, but its the nordic version.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hansip87:
Yeah but not the one that really fit into yours though. So update you should go..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] brunsman6229:
i'm on an "orange france" firmware and i'd like to do this update via PCC, but not proposed... i'm always on ".42" cause ".62" is unrootable...:( i think we've much to expect a .562 central europe...

Oh man, you never realize that there's an option to force reinstall do you? Just click the update menu and it will offer you to reinstall the firmware.

Installed the official update last night (well, really early this morning) on my Xperia Ray ST18a 1251-4106. No issues so far. Surprisingly, ICS feels smoother than GB for me. I was expecting laggier performance after the blog post on Developer World regarding GB/ICS technical differences but happily, that doesn't seem to be the case (at least with my usage). ICS web browser is a big upgrade over GB browser, plus, now I can use Chrome Beta. I don't have Flash installed. Even on my GB devices, I always uninstall or disable Flash.

Ran Passmark Benchmark. Results for most of the tests were more or less the same. However, 2D and 3D performance took quite a significant dip compared to Gingerbread so for folks who use their phones for gaming, might want to stick to GB for now.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbethards:
Just last night tried this Rom. When I went to check GPS after deep sleep found phone had shut off. Is there some kind of "toggle" I missed to prevent this? Any help appreciated
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MadJoe:
No, there's no "option" to have the phone shut off when it enters deep sleep in EXROM. Either you just had a glitch that probably won't happen again, or you got too aggressive with under volting, or you've got a bad flash on your hands.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
The issue is known as the "sleep of death"

Talk to the developer of ExROM about it, it mostly depends on what kernel you're using, if Overclocking, underclocking, UV, etc.

If you're using it on a stock kernel with NO changes to the frequencies, then you may need to reflash if its just you who is facing the issue.

This was much more common back in the days when Glitch Kernel was in beta.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbethards:
Recent ExRom Flash v 2.0

2nd night didn't shut off. But, CPU Spy indicates it doesn't go into deep sleep. Is this possibly on purpose to keep the GPS working? Thanks for your assistance.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TigaTiger:
Was trying to flash the ICS ROM V5 but it got stuck on the boot animation. I did a factory reset, surprisingly it was still there. So i used "Team Win Recovery Project" aka "twrp-crespo-2[DOT]0[DOT]0RC0[DOT]img" in nexusshacks.com. I went in there to do a factory reset but i wiped the ACTUAL system instead. So when i reboot i am stuck on Google. Unfortunely i only had 1 back up which is in ClockworkMod, but i cant access that. I dont mind my lost files because i can recover that but i want my phone to work again. Can i copy the nexus s contents from another nexus s and place it in my SD and will it work? If you guys have ideas please do reply because i need my phone fixed asap. Bootloader unlocked and rooted using superuser.

Is there any way to write super Cid from android terminal?
[HTC Sensation] azzledazzle:
I dont think there is....

The safest / quickest way is ADB, it only takes 1 min.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

The method explained in THIS THREAD is clear and easy to follow.

:)
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
just asking out of curiosity

on one forum/site one guy mentioned doing supercid with shell command

using dd command

dd -> low level convert and copy

on device block mmcblk0p16

is that possible?

i did wiped mmcblk0p14 for better gps signal if i remember

and it removed the default splash image that comes with HTC sensation

so i figured that these files represent some sectors of nand memory present in sensation

(based on this observation i thing we can also write cid by somehow modifying these files)

EDIT:

is changing supercid through fastboot possible if the bootloader is unlocked via HTC dev?

EDIT2:

NVM i GOT the ANSWERS by looking at this thread
[HTC Sensation] elyts:
Hello everybody,

since I am not allowed to post in the official thread for ARHD until i have at least 10 post, i will do it here.

I flashed ARHD 6.51 a while ago and noticed, that my clock is couple of minutes late. So I decided to sync it with the internet. Nothing happened. I rebooted my device and the clock was showing the correct time - at least for a while. After a few hours, the clock was late again. So I set it to the right time manually. I guess you know what happens next... its late again.

So i superwiped my phone and flashed the latest version of ARHD v. 6.6.2.

At first the clock showed the correct time, but after a few hours it was late AGAIN!

I booted into the recovery and noticed that the time in the recovery was correct. I reseted my phone to factory defaults and still no change.

Does anyone of you know how to fix this?

Greetings,

elyts
[HTC Sensation] tomidix:
Happened to me once while I was on college..

I turned of automatic clock sync and set it manually... When I got home (after 7-8 hours), I turned it on again and it was showing correct time.. Dunno what happened but now its ok for me... It was on older version of ARHD... 6.x.x
[HTC Sensation] lifeisfaked:
try downloading ClockSync from Google Play Store, that syncs your clock really accurately using the internet and you can get it to sync automatically :) bit of a botch but might do it
[HTC Sensation] rawrfische:
Wow damn. If I could use all of today's thanks on this one post, I would. I had already accepted that my time would lose sync every couple of days, but ClockSync seems to be doing the trick after unchecking the HTC time sync. Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] lifeisfaked:
No problem :) could you do me a massive favour and vote for me in this competition I'm in? See my signature! Thanks :)
[HTC Sensation] elyts:
I already downloaded ClockSync. But that is only a way to bypass this problem and not to solve it. I want to know why the clock is always late. Espacially when WiFi is on. This is a 400 € phone. It should at least be able to show me the correct time.
[HTC Sensation] rio911:
Hi,

I have the feeling that it is not the phone's fault, hear me out. Your phone does not keep the time, it reads it from your phone provider or wifi if it is connected. My guess is that your phone is reading the wrong time from some of those sources.

And by the way before continuing I would go to Greenwich and check the correct time!

rio
[HTC Sensation] elyts:
I bookmarked a similar page to check the correct time. So you think my phone doesn't have an internal clock server or something that provides the time if its set manually? I have to correct my last statement. The time is late only when WiFi is enabled.
[HTC Sensation] rio911:
Of course, the phone has an internal clock, but it rather not use it, while there is internet connection. So setting up your time manually will only work until the phone syncs with the sources from your service provider/internet.

If you want to keep your own "manual" time my guess is you would have to disable a few sync options on your phone, one of them being Settings/Date&time/Automatic date&time.

rio
[HTC Sensation] elyts:
Automatic date&time is disabled... Everything i know is that if WiFi is enabled the clock will be late after a few hours. I disabled every possible option that could have something to do with wrong sync or something. And the lower my battery gets, the faster my clock gets slow.. Could it have something to do with WiFi and or battery?
