[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] *boy*racer*:
Yes please mate. We have been waiting for ages for an .ft files closest to our SI.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Voodooguru:
Tested my .ftf and it turns out because I made this backup after I rooted etc, I'm stuck with 1252-3323 as well. Oops...Sorry to raise expectations!

However my better half has an untouched stock Ray... I'll see what I can do when I have the phone to play with.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] *boy*racer*:
haha no worries. if you could do that with your gf ray, that would be great mate

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] *boy*racer*:
The only one there for a UK phone is marked (UK)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Kieron Williamson:
No 4.0.4 kernel for UK yet them :/ ducks but tuff luck I guess lol. Cheers.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Eldwafio:
I've got a UK Ray with Vodafone, i've used the Nordic firmwares for ICS quite happily. I believe flashing one of these will change your SI number but fwiw, I think Sony are done with the 2011 range of phones so I doubt any OTA's will be coming any time soon
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Jruuu:
Yes, and I didn't like it. There are a few known issues with this firmware. First, the LED under the home button does not flash when you receive a txt message. There is an easy fix, so not a big deal.

Second: tethering and hotspot functions are broken. There was no fix at the time when I upgraded, I don't know if this has been resolved. I didn't have the time to stick around and wait.

Third: rooting was a pain compared to other versions. You have to downgrade to an older kernel before applying a root fix, and then upgrade again, or something like that.

I didn't have time to mess around with all of this. It seems there are significant problems to figure out after every firmware update. I decided to stick with v4.1.A.0.562 because rooting is much easier, and it does not appear to have any major issues that affect me.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] hassan_eldhraawy:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kinnudreamz:
I never flashed ftf till now.. so just asking.. do i need to be on stock ics and ics kernel before flashing? will this flash kernel too or is it to be separately flashed.. i know i can have this some where in the forum but feeling lazy at this late hour .. thank u.. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] realCyphox:
if you flash it via flashtool with standard-settings, it will flash the kernel too

it will work no matter what rom you're running as of now
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] barjeshjain:
Regional update

After flashing this i want regional ROM... How can i get that? is there is way to change serial number or sony update will automatically detect correct serial number.

Thanks in Advance
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] realCyphox:
good question, you can always change language and stuff in settings and remove unwanted apps via rooting your phone, but as far as i know, if you want to have a regional rom you have to wait until someone uploads it or it gets available by sony via pc-companion. and of course, shortly after that, the rom will be available on xdadev... so... anyway, just a matter of time. IF the rom gets released in your region. ask the uk-guys...

pardon me, im not even sure, if flashing via flashtool with locked bootloader even works, cause i unlocked mine right from the beginning and never had to ask me this question....

but if it does, its like i wrote above. correct me, if im wrong, please.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] barjeshjain:
Thanks bro.. I have also unlocked bootloader and using custom ROMs... but i am having some issue with network... So i wanted to try regional ROM..

I have flashed CE rom ftf and it's working gr8.... :good:

Perhaps *boy*racer* would be interested to host/re-upload it on his first firmware post. If you're still interested

let me know a good free host site that allows an upload of at least 380MB and I'll sort it out for you.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Sand23:
Yep, of course - stupid me, I was thinking ISO images etc. which don't really compress a great deal, but .ftf compress well - down to 200MB now!

Haven't Sony released ICS for the UK yet?!

Can you safely flash for example the American version of ICS .587 if your phone isn't American?

(Not that I have to now, but I'm thinking of flashing a Custom ROM and am looking at how to go back if I don't like it)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] :
I have been searching for hours for the answer to this same question. I made the mistake of buying the st18i instead of the st18a. I would like to flash the North American version of GB. I love my Ray, and do not want to brick it by flashing an incompatible rom.

I am new to Android but have flashed many a Windows Mobile phone. Help?!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Daniel_GT:
I have an ST18i and during the course of my endeavours have flashed GB and ICS stock ROMs from (it seems!) all the regions you can think of... including, most importantly for you, the US version for ST18a with absolutely no problems at all.. I can see no reason for a problem, the worst thing that could happen is that it might not perform perfectly, you'll have to start again, but it won't damage anything for sure. That's the beauty of flashing in android.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] aeorcr:
For People on the American Continent! ST18a ICS .587

For those of you who wants ST18a ICS .587 firmware i let you here the generic american one. I extracted myself from SEUS and decide to share, dont know if the Post creator can put it on the first post as he stated that he will not update anymore..

[HTC Rezound] skooterking5:
so i just got my htc rezound like 2 days ago and so far its wonderful (coming from a droid razr). the only stipulation im having is streaming audio via bluetooth to my car's stereo system (ford fusion with sync system). it sounds really crappy using the standard player htc gives you, but if you switch to amazon mp3's player it sounds good except for certain pitches and frequencies sound like crap. it almost sounds like crackling but not quite. gives it good bass back tho. so is there a way to fix this? i did unlock my phone like 4 hrs after getting it from the fedex guy. is there anything i can do to it go improve on the audio quality or is this gonna be a "wait for ICS and see" kinda deal?
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
Try PowerAmp or install a rom with DSP so you can tweak the audio settings.
[HTC Rezound] skooterking5:
k will give it a shot later tonight when i leave for work. i honestly dont think it has anything to do with the eq but i'll try it. i think its something with the bluetooth radio thats built in....maybe its just a crappy design idk.
[HTC Rezound] skooterking5:
any other ideas in the mean time? or anyone else having the same issue?
[HTC Rezound] couchmonkey:
Never heard of this problem with differences between players.

Stream all day with my phone and only problems are with ICS not GB.
[HTC Rezound] zone23:
I have a Ford Focus (with sync) and mine sounds pretty good, but not as good as when I had full time beats on my EVO3D. They only thing I do is turn the volume up on the phone while its playing through the speakers. I do this but using the volume rocker on the side during playback. Its not as good as a CD but not too bad either. Tried to get the guy that fixed it on the 3D to look at the Rezound but he never responded to my PM. I have played with DSP Manager and you can get some improvement. Also other EQs exist in the market that can improve the quality.
[HTC Rezound] Watercycle:
<3 ford focus, are you saying it just lacks an equalizer's touch or does it crackle? =o
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
No Problem

I use the MotoROKR T505 for my car. Bluetooth stereo music over the car speakers is never a problem, regardless of using stock player, meridian, or poweramp.
[HTC Rezound] 1heffer:
Zone is right. Turn the volume all the way up. It took me awhile to figure this out. I think its radio interference that you're hearing.
[HTC Rezound] skooterking5:
well i tried poweramp from the market and it made some improvement...but still not as crisp as i'd like. it seems like with some of the higher frequencies over bluetooth it kind of mashes them together sort of. idk but coming from a droid razr i can definitely tell a difference. that phone was amazing when it came to audio quality over bluetooth. for now i guess i'll try to rig up the usb cord so my sync system can read the files from my phone or either buy a cheep aux input cord for my ford....until ICS is released....hopefully they made some type of improvement.

edit: i always have the volume maxed out via the rocker on the side....learned that day 1 of having an ipod long ago lol. the droid razr definitely puts out cd quality audio over bluetooth and i was kind of expecting this phone to do the same or better, not sub-par performance.
[HTC Rezound] Watercycle:
I wonder if that is the razr's 4.0 bluetooth that provided so

Hi.. just relised when i went to make a call and put it on loud speaker my mic dont work but it will if i take it off.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gavin-phelan:
Nope. Had to send it back to repair
[HTC One X] Perilion:
Ok so my handset has the screen flicker issue. I ofc want to return it to see if I can get a handset without the issue, however I unlocked the bootloader. I realise this voids my warranty but with my old Desire I could pretty much return it to stock. With the new unlocking system when you relock the phone it literally says "RELOCKED" at the top of the bootloader screen. Does anyone know of a way to restore the bootloader so that it will read "LOCKED".

I realise this is my own fault but I cannot help but feel cheated if the phone has an issue that I didn't cause and now I cannot return it. It is on t-mobile if that helps anyones suggestions.
[HTC One X] putti71:
Since Screen flickering is a hardware problem, you should be fine with warranty, because warranty is only void if software is causing a problem.

You can relock bootloader with fastboot command: fastboot oem lock

But its not like the real HTC Lock.

I hope that helped.

Extended Battery Mod

Using an aftermarket Extended Battery?

I have made 2 flash zips for Extended Battery Users. One for Stock Rooted, the other for CM9 0.5.1 (will update this one with each version released) These will make it so that your battery meter shows the proper amount of charge, rather than doing the dreaded 1% for 10 hours, then die suddenly.

GO HERE For the Files

Cheers! :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] b4ifuru18:
Can we get one for Jokers CM9 build? I know you have one for MIUI but you said it only works for MIUI.
[Motorola Photon 4G] JamesChilds:
Well look at that!

Lol, Nice. Well I am actually going to try and flash this on my stockrom and see if it will stop the Non-Moto battery error. I will report back on whether or not it works.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Shad0wguy:
If this works I will love you forever. It is such a pain to not know the actual battery level.

Without sounding like a complete noob, how do I install this? Extract the zip using a root explorer type app?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Flash in cwm like a rom...

:)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Making it now :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Shad0wguy:
I don't have cwm installed. I'm running stock ROM, rooted.
[Motorola Photon 4G] DualSportDad:
What I did when I was on the stock from.... well any from that is rooted.... was to download battery monitor widget. Setup the ma of your battery and then wipe stats. It seems to correct the battery size. When I first got my battery a few more the ago I noticed it was like nothing had changed... battery was at 50% by lunch time everyday. Now its lunch time and I'm at 88%. I did this on stock rooted ( locked boot loader) and on cm9.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Updated OP. CM9 version available now as well. Will add more as we go on :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] JamesChilds:
To apply this on a stock, rooted, locked photon 4g, Am I able to extrace the contents of the CWM flashable zip and manually place the files in the where they are supposed to go? I Just returned to stock and kind of miss my 4G when I am around it =P.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ZeroManArmy:
I believe you can flash on bootstrap if I'm not mistaken.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
You can adb push the file to the /system/framework folder :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] carrilloevo:
Can you give me the steps to do it please
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Do you have android-sdk installed on your computer? If so, you need to navigate to your "platform-tools" folder, extract the framework-res.apk from this zip and place it in that folder. Plug in your phone to your computer and make sure that the phone is set to debugging mode enabled. Then go to start, and type in cmd and press enter. Navigate to your platform-tools folder by typing in cd\ c:\****\platform-tools (where **** is the path leading up to platform-tools) and press enter. Then type in the following: c:\****\platform-tools\adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework (again **** is the path up to platform-tools) and press enter. Then you're done.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bennyreyes715:
I must have misunderstood something? I flashed the CM9 version over CNA and got bootloops on the red M logo. The CNA I'm using is based on CM9 5.1. I had a backup and tested a couple of times. No luck.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
CNA is far enough different that this won't work for it. Even though it's based on it, the framework files between CM9 and CNA are very different, as that's how each rom is unique. I'll post one for the latest CNA that's out in a little bit :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Just posted a CNA version HERE

Cheers!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Shad0wguy:
It doesn't seem to work for me. I backed up the original framework file and copied your modified one using root browser, rebooted, and I'm still showing the same battery percentage as before.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
It won't show different until you have fully charged your phone...then you will notice that rather than it running down to 1% and sitting there before suddenly dying, it will show the proper charge.
[Motorola Photon 4G] kingme__hu:
is the MIUI 2.4.27 Extended Battery Mod can be used for atrix's miui v4?

thanks for reply~
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
There is an option for this in the Atrix MIUI 2.4.27 Aroma build. It may change things a tad...as we have a CDMA eri.xml in there. You could always give it a shot and see if it works :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] bennyreyes715:
I come home from work to find so much goodness on here. You guys are poppin out new roms so fast that yall can barely keep up with each other! Unfortunately I'm just seeing this, there's an update with the 6.0 base. Mind making one for CNA with that base.

Team-Moto-Tegra ftw!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
It'll be up shortly

CHECK IT OUT :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] bennyreyes715:
You're awesome! Just flashed. Going to run it dry and report back
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
You won't notice a big diff until after the first time you fully charge the battery. You definitely want to leave it charging like overnight. I had my extended battery last 40 hours on MIUI, and it showed the proper percentage the entire way :)
