1. You never need to relock the bl unless you're RUU'ing

2. TWRP and CWM do the same thing, what you can do with one you can pretty much assume you can do with the other

3. Titanium Backup (I refer to it as TiBu) stores the backup files on your phone in a Titanium Backup folder on your sd card. You use the TiBu app itself to batch restore your apps. So this mean you're gonna have to redownload it manually from the Play Store after a factory wipe. You also have the option or restoring your apps with data and also restoring system data. In my experience, restoring system data is always a bad idea and will cause weird behavior. Restoring app data also sometimes has weird consequences, depending on the app, so I usually just restore my apps without data and individually restore data to apps I know will have no issue and are a pain to set up again.

4. We refer to it as an sd card because it technically still is one, just soldered onto the board.

5. Yes, RUU will get rid of root. It returns your phone to its factory state (except it doesn't touch your user data)

Upgrading to 1.85 isn't necessary since we can flash boot.img and jump between versions
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Valitri:
Thank you. I will run a backup from titanium and download it to my computer. Then I will flash TWRP, then try some roms.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] stnguyen09:
You can have TiBu sync to a Dropbox, Google Drive, or Box account too. The scheduling feature is real nice. I have mine running the 2 default scheduled backup tasks every morning at 6am and then automatically uploading to Google Drive provided that I am plugged in and on WiFi.

I have it run every morning just in case I do something stupid during the day.

Oh and make sure to watch your internal storage space. CWM/TWRP backups take up A LOT of space, around 1GB (that's off the top of my head, I know it's around there somewhere). Manage your backups carefully, deleting ones you don't need.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ethantarheels123:
you dont need to bootloader unlock before you upgrade to 1.85. just get the unlock code and then, with a locked bootloader, update RUU to 1.85. then afterwards unlock bootloader with unlock code.bin.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] pside15:
Titanium is just for backing up apps not the entire phone. Sorry if you knew that, it just sounded like you didn't.

You need to flash TWRP and do a backup with it. This will backup your entire phone. In case you ever run into issues you know that you have a backup of your phone from when it was fully functional. This stays on your phone and if you ever need to restore it you do so from within TWRP.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] stnguyen09:
Right, think of a TWRP/CWM backup as the equivalent of a Windows System Restore Point or a Mac Time Machine Backup. It's pretty much a snapshot of your system that you can jump back to in order to revert anything you did that screwed things up.
[HTC Sensation] Dano79:
I dont understand since Im not a dev but why is it that sometimes the updates have more problems than older builds. So an update is not always what its cracked up to be. Is this from fixing one bug which causes other bugs that the devs dont see till its released ?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
A lot of it is because htc f*cked several things up in the RUU's - the only 100% stable one I have seen is the Tmous one. Also because of the scripts like deodexing and other apk optimization scripts some devs use, random bugs can be introduced.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Etari:
I am currently on cyanogenmod 7.2 stable release. i wanted to go the Official ICS beta but am unsure how I would do this.

I tried looking everywhere and i cant find anything.

I was looking at installing R800i_4.0.2.A.0.42_Generic_UK that I found on here as Sony Companion will not let me update to 4.0.2.A.0.42 as ! am on a modified mobile.

Does anyone know a better way than this or should i just flash this to my Xperia play and then update it to official ICS and then install Doomlords kernal v03 for ICS?

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have only ever used cyanogenmod and their Xperia play roms are never that brilliant and wanted to try ICS.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yxxact:
I recommend you stay away from the ics beta as it's bad in many respects. You'll be better off trying cm9 or aokplay
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Etari:
Thanks for the advice. I went for CM9 fxp 125 in the end seems to be working really nice.

Only had one question though and that was in the guide on here it said I needed to update my baseband to .62

I didn't do that but seems to be working fine.

Will I get any benefits to updating to that?

Thanks again XDA members, you the best!

You can Odin back too EP1W however that framework is very old and I would not recommend using it

Now I have a HTC One , I tried this program but seems doesn't work for me :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nixx-X1:
This is actually related to the Xperia U but i'm sure it will be identical for the Xperia S and P.

Via tasker i'm running a Shell script to control the LED bar lights used during a notification.

I've found a way to acces them and turn each LED on/off (left-middle-right and colors) but now I'm looking for the right syntax to increase and decrease the value of one LED so I can make them fade in en out.

Via Pent (tasker) I've got this (only fade in):

dir=/sys/class/leds;

val=0;

while [ $val != 256 ];

do

echo $val > $dir/m-key-red/brightness;

echo $val > $dir/m-key-green/brightness;

echo $val > $dir/m-key-blue/brightness;

let val=$val+1;

done

but I continue to get the error let: arith: syntax error: "val=0+1" which is an indication that i'm using the wrong syntax.

does anyone know which syntax to use within the Xperia NXT 2012 shell?

ps. i'm aware of the illumination bar notification app, but would very much like to create my own :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
let val = $val + 1

Also you don't need semicolons after every line.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nixx-X1:
my bad, made a typing error in the first post.

I did use let val=$val+1 (now corrected in first post)

when I try it now again (to double check) it still gives the same error
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
Looks like it only likes it bash style.

val=$(($val+1))
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nixx-X1:
mmh..

if I do it like this:

Then I get this error> while not found

and if I do it like this:

I get this error > Syntax error: "(" unexpected

I'm not too familiar with scripting, but usually manage to adjust stuff once it works.. but it doesn't seem to want to work :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
It's while < clause >; do
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nixx-X1:
nope, then I get again the " while: not found " error.

an alternative would be to create an array and cycle through all numbers instead of a while construction.. or would that be too intense? + how to do that? :)

(i only know half of what I'm doing.. will promise not to venture further in to scripting.. just need this damn fade in/fade out to work)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
Derp. [ square brackets not ( round ones in your clause.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nixx-X1:
dir=/sys/class/leds; val=0; while ($val != 255); do echo $val > $dir/m-key-red/brightness; echo $val > $dir/m-key-green/brightness; echo $val > $dir/m-key-blue/brightness; let val=$(($val + 1 )); done

will give me the following error:

0: not found.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] pvyParts:
your while is not correct something like this should work.

dir=/sys/class/leds
val=0

[B][COLOR="Red"]while (("$val" < "256")); do
[/COLOR][/B]
echo $val > $dir/m-key-red/brightness
echo $val > $dir/m-key-green/brightness
echo $val > $dir/m-key-blue/brightness
let val=$((val + 1 ))

done

the problem is the $val was being "called" instead of checked (thats my take on it anyway)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nixx-X1:
any chance you tested this on an Xperia U?

Just quickly tried, but got a while error again.

will check later in de afternoon double if I didn't put anything wrong in it
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
You need [ in place of ((

---------- Post added at 02:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:20 PM ----------

led() {
echo $1 > /sys/class/leds/m-key-$2/brightness
}
val=0
while [ $val -lt 256 ]; do
led $val red
led $val green
led $val blue
val=$(($val + 1))
done

Here you go. led() is just a small helper function that works led <number> <color>
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] pvyParts:
Thanks I thought I had it wrong. :)

Pvy
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nixx-X1:
and i'm still going nuts :(

seems to work everywhere but here.

when I copy & paste it, it doesn't work, when I write the it in 1 line in the terminal it neither works.

In both cases it gives the following error:

Sytax error: " do" unexpected (expecting "}")

then when I make this of it:

it does go to the next line, but doesn't do anything or show an error :)

btw.. sending a simple echo does work and function as expected. (eg. echo 250 /sys/class/leds/m-key-red/brightness)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
You have an extra { just before do. And it likely won't work in your shell if you just copy/paste.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nixx-X1:
thanks, but doesn't work either..

do you have an xperia U and tested if the middle led light will fade in if you write this?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
I don't have the device on me, I only have bash.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nixx-X1:
ok, are there multiple versions of bash, could that be the reason? (still on andriod 2.3.7 btw)

if so, what version you have?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
Show the output when you run it please.

Also I'm pretty sure you need to run that as root.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nixx-X1:
I am running it as root (first command is "su") and the terminal emulator is a system app as well.

It's a crappy app though as it only shows one line.

this is what I typed first:

2nd line is:

3rd line is:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
I think your problem is you dont have a decent text editor so you are not getting it quite right when you type it in.

Download Total Commander or some other app that has a built in text editor and type it in there.

Another option is to edit the text file on your PC and copy it to your memory card

I dont have BASH on my xperia u but the syntax given by k900 above looks good, so that should work if you type it correctly
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nixx-X1:
The text editor sucks indeed, but have triple checked it many times (and copy-pasted), but will give total commander a shot, does it have a shell editor or where you thinking that I write a .txt there and copy and paste it inside the terminal emulator.

More interestingly.. you say you don't have BASH on your Xperia U.

Perhaps I don't have either? I never installed it, just rooted my phone (got superuser & busybox) and put on terminal emulator. I can make echo commands work, but am not able to get functions working.

Maybe I skipped a step somewhere, I'm new at this stuff (am used to web-scripting thou), but refuse to stop untill I have that stupid led doing what I want it to do!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rundgong:
i think you should create a file called "led.sh" on your sdcard where you enter the script code. In the terminal you can then just go "source led.sh" and it will execute that script.

I have not rooted my phone yet, so I only have the default shell. If you got busybox it probably comes with bash.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nixx-X1:
Finally!!

Thanks all for keep helping, it finally works!

the correct code was:

the script as .sh file did the trick in the end, I retyped again in the prompt (and tripped checked it) but then I got the syntax error again.. prompt typing is a No-Go for these things apparently (or requires other structure?)

Does anyone know a good package to access my ROM folders on the phone via the USB cable/PC ?

Now the quest can finally begin to get more out of this.

I'll play around first myself, can anyone provide me with a list of operators?

Basically what it will need to have in the end:

set definition 3 leds (Left-Middle-Right) with 3 values (for Red-Green-Blue)

Which individually go from "0-255-pauzeduration-255-0" within x (mili)seconds.

and as bonus (in 2 months orso ;) ) i'd want to sync all the starting moments.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nixx-X1:
Multiple While's

okay, I'm almost there for the basic part, the only thing I run into now is how to make multiple while conditions work at once.

I now have this:

it functions, but not completely, at the moment I have these values as maximum assigned:

maxR=256

maxG=129

maxB=011

the problem is that it stops the while when one of these conditions are met (thus maxB= 10) and it will not continue to increase $valR to 255.

How can I get it to continue until all of the conditions are met?

I tried to separate the while's for each value, but then I do not get a synchronized color increase (as R,G,B are from the same led).

I'm pretty sure it's only needs a different seperator instead of &

thanks!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
Use || not &
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nixx-X1:
if I do so and use these values:

maxR=256

maxG=0

maxB=0

it becomes white instead of red (thus puts the highest value in all channels)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
I'll send you working code tomorrow.
