Tx for answers.

Edit: i've tryied this guide, but if i does the same thing with 4.0.4 (flash only kernel) i remain on 4.0.3...

Where i make mistake?

repeatedly showing

"02/048/2012 03:48:11 - INFO - For flashtool, Unknown Sources and Debugging must be checked in phone settings"

i did both..still.. :( .wat to do now??
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] AzulmArinO:
I followed all the steps (including the busybox installer before installing CWM) with no errors, still Android tells me it is 4.0.3 and firmware is 4.1.A.0.562. So, it was all for nothing or am I missing something?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] paolinhos:
I've the same problem,if I flash only the kernel from 4.0.4 as the guide tell I remain on 4.0.3,so I flashed the system to,in that case I get the 4.0.4 but lost root.

Another thing: can do the same with European firmware? Or Nordic? Tx in advantage.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Wechy77:
First you must have 4.0.4 on phone. I have updated my 4.0.3 via PCC to 4.0.4 (and I lost root). Then I made my own ftf.

If you have (non rooted) 4.0.4 on ray, than follow steps in #1. post

ps. Sorry for my bad english

The first post is updated.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] paolinhos:
Oh tx,i'll see if I can do that in the afternoon.

Another question,if I done that need to reinstall all my app?

I've does it wrong first time and flashed full 4.0.3,now the guide is more simple to understand. Tx :thumbup:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Wechy77:
After flashing you have installed lot of apps?

What i did: I updated 4.0.3 to 4.0.4 via PCC. Then i repaired 4.0.4 (when PCC said you have a latest, then you can chosse repair) In these method you loose all your installed apps, contacts etc. But i read in many posts that repair is a solution of many bugs.

Another developer can tell you if it's necessary.

After i updated i make my own ftf file with flashtool (I dont remember where i read how to make).

And i followed 1st post.

ps: Sorry for my bad english
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] paolinhos:
I need to flash only kernel if I've understand. I've some app integrated in the Rom,but I've titanium backup of this so I only need to restore the app that I need. Tx :D

Edit: ok i've done it!!!!

All Working graet, sorry, i'm noob so i haven't understand how to do that at the beginning.

Really tx for this guide :-)

After Flashing 4.0.4 kernel, still firmware is 4.0.3

Thanks for the guide in the first post, I've rooted my Ray. But the same as the problem from the guys here ( not all maybe), I'm still stock at 4.0.3 even after flashing the 4.0.4 firmware... I notice this one, after flashing the 4.0.4 firmware the log of the Flashtool says "Please wait. Phone will reboot.", so I wait and I the phone

did not REBOOT (sad to say).. I remove the the USB from the computer and manually reboot it and the firmware is still at 4.0.3. Btw, I have the official update of 4.0.4 before I follow the guide in the first post.

Did I do something wrong?

Am I going to wait for the phone to REBOOT itself after flashing?

CWM.apk ?

I'm hung up on this step because there is no CWM.apk available in SE Extreme Tweak Installer - where is that, where do I find it?

As alternative, I searched, found and installed CWM Auto-Installer from Play Store, then ran final step, and I seem to be back to 4.04 completely because PC Companion says I'm up to date, and I'm definitely rooted, but it seems that I've missed something with CWM recovery install.

Also Titanium Backup doesn't give me batch mode option - is this normal in ICS, or is it due to problems I've created?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] bcavus:
My Xperia Ray ICS 4.0.4 is now rooted. I followed the steps and its OK.

But I wasn't able to access CWM. How will I open it?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] adulfo:
You really have the 4.0.4 after rooting? I think you only have 4.0.3..

Did you follow the steps in SE Tweak? I think we have the same problem during my first try of rooting. I think you miss to open the Busybox after installing it from the market, busybox dont run easily, it needs root access. After installing, do the SE Tweak and follow the instructions.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] bcavus:
I have 4.0.4.

I also found how to open CWM in Xperia Ray.

After pressing the power button at the top and getting the vibration, press any key for 3 or 4 seconds (home button or sound up-down buttons)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] adulfo:
So you are officially in 4.0.4, did you follow the steps in PRELIMINARY STEPS in the first post? I did not follow the preliminary steps cause I update my Ray using PC Companion, does it matter? Is it the reason why I'm still at 4.0.3 even after flashing the 4.0.4 firmware?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] bcavus:
Yes I followed all the steps. Details are below;

First, I unlocked my bootloader using the directions in sony ericcson site. You can google for "xperia unlock bootloader"

I upgraded to ICS 4.0.4 2 days ago. I upgrade by using PC Companion. I upgraded first then repaired. So I have lost all my applications. Installed and configured again :(

Also, by unlocking the bootleader I again lost my applications :(

So I think I have done the preliminary step..

Preliminary step:

= First off, install full ICS 4.0.4. You have to be on ICS 4.0.4 in order to proceed.

= The easiest way to do so is to use Flashtool to flash 4.0.4 ftf and DE-SELECT wipe data! Thus your current apps will be kept.

= By installing 4.0.4, if you had root, you will lose it. But worry not, here is what you should do:​

I followed the first step. (Installed flashtools 0.8.0 and 0.8.5 update)

After flashing, the adnroid and kernel versions seen on settings does not change.

This made me confused but I goed on..

Follow this 3-step process:

1) By using the Flashtool flash only the kernel (kernel.sin + loader.sin) from ICS 4.0.3

= For flashtool, Unknown Sources and Debugging must be checked in phone settings

= Put the ftf file into the firmware directory of flashtool (usually c:/Flashtool/Firmware), open flashtool and select flash, then flashmode, chose the 4.1.A.... firmware and select exclude Fota, system and baseband , select 'No final verification' and DE-SELECT wipe data, cache and apps log. Click OK and follow instructions (power off phone, press volume down button and plug the usb).​

I did the fist step in step 2 (Root_v5 hack).

In the thread it says phone will boot 3 times. Buy my phone booted 2 times.

This also made me confused.. But I goed on..

It was easy.

I installed Busybox free and busybox installer from play store.

After installation run busybox free and installed as it said..

After that I did the second step in step 2 (Now install CWM recovery)

I downloaded SE_Extreme_Tweak_Installer_1.8. And from the program menu I selected "CWM For Xperia Neo/ARC/ARC-S/Play/Pro/Ray" and pressed the "Install" button.

Some messages also confused me but I must go on..

I wasn't able to launch CWM at first. Today I win as I said in my previous message.

2) Boot the phone and do regular Root_v5 hack + CWM installation (CWM-5.0.2.7-nAa-r2)

= When it's finished you can root with the Root_v5 tool following its instructions

= Now install CWM recovery by using the CWM Installer following its instructions​

The last step is easy as I did the first step.

Then everything was OK. My phone is rooted. In the about it says android 4.0.4 and kernel "2.6.32.9-perf BuildUSer@BuildHost#1"

3) By using the Flashtool flash only the original kernel from the ICS 4.0.4 provided ftf.

= For flashtool, Unknown Sources and Debugging must be checked in phone settings

= Now do the same operation as 1) with 4.0.4 ftf file and you're done.​

Thanks for the confirmation. I will try it but I dont think that I will unlock my bootloader.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] bcavus:
Yes Its a critical decision to unlock the bootloader.

But, I taught that if I am in this forum than I must do this.

Because this option is a must do for some operations.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] adulfo:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] bcavus:
I think you must do REPAIR operation from PC Companion and make a clean upgrade to 4.0.4.

Then if you want to root, do the steps as stated in this thread.

Im done with rooting using the steps in the 1st post, and as a Superuser I managed to use hansip87 tutorial on optimizing our Ray. I followed the steps and delete some of the USELESS BLOATWARES last night. This morning as I check on the Android version, I am surprised that I'm back again to 4.0.3. Doing again the *#*#7378423#*#*, phone system version is @ 4.1.B.0.431 generic user and my file system is at WORLD-i 4.1.A.562. So, I restore my phone using my back-up of 4.0.4 and now I am confused on removing again some of the BLOATWARES..

Any suggestion guys? Please advise me if this post is still in line with the topic here.

Just follow the instructions in the first post. Read every commands that appear before you press any key. But before everything, install proper drivers SDK and USB (you can google that).

It is better to install Sony PC Companion, it will help you in everything including repair if necessary.

You will because the title of this thread is for "locked bootloader" meaning your warranty is not yet void.

If you are going to update firmware, you will definitely lost root. But you can use the tweak in this thread, using 4.0.3 kernel because it is rootable (maybe...).

Hi! Thanks very much for the great advice there - you've been a brilliant help! :D

Just a quick question related to flashing stock ROMS from a different country - hopefully you can help? Let's say that I have a gingerbread 2.3.4 - .62 (Sri Lanka) ROM currently running on my phone because I decided to downgrade from ICS for a while. How can I get back to an Irish ICS 4.0.4 ROM?

If I was to connect to PC Companion and update the software - will a 'new' Irish 4.0.4 ROM be installed on my phone or will the currently installed Sri Lanka version just 'update' to a Sri Lankan version of ICS 4.0.4?

Really hope someone can help me with this. :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] zstoichev:
PC Companion will update you to the Sri Lanka ICS flavour. In order to go back to Irish one download Irish ftf file (or similar/EU which covers your country) and flash it manually with Flashtool. Hope this helps.

the ftf you have is the stripped one - it contains only kernel.sin and loader.sin (not the other components of a full ROM). Therefore you have no options like wipe data. All you have to to is selecting 'No final verification' and clicking 'Ok'.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] vhalko:
can I ask a question?

I have a rooted 4.0.3 ray ... can I skip directly to step 3 of your guide?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] adulfo:
Just restart your phone manually, it will not reboot itself, I have tried it many times..

I think your 4.0.3 firmware is not the correct version.. Check also your Flashtool if its complete.. USB Debugging should be checked and MSC(mass storage mode). If the firmware that you have downloaded is the stripped one, maybe you should checked everything there as it is stripped (only kernel+loader).

This post is also useful in using Flashtool (maybe):http://androxyde.github.com/

You should see something like this on my attachment..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] adulfo:
I'm not the OP of this thread....

If you want to have 4.0.4 on your phone, you should start at the beginning of the post..

Step 3 would just flush again the kernel of 4.0.4... If you want to follow the steps, download the regular ones not the stripped..

So it is "NO"...

how can i check if my flashtool is complete or not,i just download it frm above like,i installed all drivers and also ADB drivers with PCC

And can u plz give me link for correct firmware version i have 4.1.b... firmware which also showing same :(

AND how should i know that i completed flashing with firmware 4.0.3....?

thanx!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] adulfo:
Download the 4.0.3 firmware the complete one, not the stripped (although stripped is also good, but haven't tried it).. Put it in the flashtool/firmware, be sure you can see the 4.0.A... in the Flashtool as you go in Flashmode...

Everything in the first post's link for download are complete.

You can also install the the drivers, flashmode and adb from your flashtool/drivers before you start the flashing method..

Hey, open your CMD and type "adb devices" and then enter.. You should see the serial number of your phone, if not follow this link after flashing is complete.

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Howto:_Install_the_Android_SDK/Windows

The display will help you to make it easy to root 4.0.3 then..

---------- Post added at 12:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:19 PM ----------

Hey bro, put the 4.0.A...firmware on your c:Flashtool/firmware (should be unzipped with .ftf extension)... Only the 4.1.B.. is on the firmware. I thnk you have downloaded the stripped one..

In the flashmode, select the proper firmware by clicking it ( not the 0000)...
