What determines the ICS exploit that will give us ROOT for company locked bootloaders phones?

I mean, where is it developed, do you think will we enjoy the root soon? :P

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mminoletti:
My SI is 1257-0985, so i have to wait that little longer :(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ra3al:
The SI number was stored in the buid.prop file (at least for earlier SE phones). Probably it's the same for Xperia S ;)

If you changed it, you should be able to update.

(Of course, root is needed to edit the build.prop file)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ambroos:
Okay. I have a way to get the update. If SEUS wants to work after relock you will get the update right away.

1. Unlock bootloader, flash a kernel with root.

2. Edit build.prop, modify the customization version to 1257-4009/R4E

3. Flash a stock kernel (can you, not sure about this one)...

4. Relock bootloader and do a full reflash through SEUS.

What I'm not sure about is if you can actually update with SEUS after relocking the bootloader, without reflashing an FTF.

SI number

Hello Friends

After Long observation and search and my own experience, i can confirm that

the CORRECT SI number is the one listed on the back sticker, not the one listed at service menu. Now i am updating the Phone and i will see if there is issues like those listed in this thread or not.

But from my experience with xperia X10, i can confirm that most ppls whom are flashing their sets with different versions than their original will get problems, and one of the most noticeable problems is the 3g signal loss

best wishes for all
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ang1000:

funny

Hi all.

This is little bit funny for me because my SI number is not listed on : http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/42096 , i checked sony website daily waiting for my SI but never shop up, few minutes ago i just connected my phone to my laptop, and PC Companion saying that NEW UPDATE IS READY FOR ME !

Ireland and my SI number od the back : 1257-4531

SI number in service menu : 1257-1991
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Damoedge:
Now in Ireland ;);)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] cancool:
Also in Ireland but I get installation error when its three quarters of the way through. Rang Sony and they said there's nothing they can do but this issue will be brought to management in the next 48 hours.

They said I have to repair phone and delete all data before any update which is BS

Did it work for you guys?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sonic_boom:
i still transferring my personal stuff to my laptop ,then i will tell you
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] xperiax10.awesome:
some MORE regions got the updates, please check..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MrBelter:
No one will be surprised to hear there is nothing for UK Generic.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] doministry:
So adding to the problems this upgrade introduces:

Apparently now X S on ICS records MONO sound on videos?

WTF??!!

There are idiots in Sony SW department.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] cancool:
Any luck? I don't fancy backing up 25gigs of stuff to find out it doesn't work and have to transfer it back and reinstall aps and such its just stupid. So far tried it on two computers and no luck. Reinstalled PC Companion and rebooted phone. No luck. Just a juicy update button that doesn't work. Also I'm eMobile if that makes a difference
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sonic_boom:
i dont know but what i know is that there is no STEREO on GB as well
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sonic_boom:
something wrong :(

View attachment 1157713

i will try later on on another computer
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] cancool:
Same error here, Guess we'll have to wait again. Already tried on two computers and have the same message. Don't waste money on a phone call to Sony they cant help. Only thing they suggested that I didn't do is repair phone and try install but it doesn't seem worth it. I think the error is on their part

Cheers for the update sonic
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ang1000:
I would recommend to upgrade at service centre. takes only maximum two hours for the upgrade. but I must warn everyone that everything in the phone, including storage memory will be wiped. as such, please make all backup on your computer.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jacker60:
Well maybe i know why pc companion says its not possible to connect... because all of you are hitting check for updates every 2 seconds :silly: and that its like a DoS attack for sony servers so please be patient ¬¬ in the night there is no problem checking updates but in the day its impossible to check.... the update will be deliver to you one day or another, why the hurry??? anyways the new features are not the big thing I believe... (I already flashed CH version and try it... go back to GB waiting for the update, I can live with that :fingers-crossed: )
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nemer12:
change the pc and upgrade it,
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Deniz.S:
Same happens on mine. Probably to do with servers...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kaosdroid:
On my phone GB.75 when i listen my video record with headphone pluged,i ear the sound at right and at left but the sound is recorded in mono!

Apparently,now in ICS the sound is only on the one side.

Probably for ear another thing in same time!

Ex:you listen your videoRecord with ear left,and with ear right you could listen your wife in the same time now!

That's pretty cool no?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] doministry:
Are you joking? On mine the sound is stereo.

Me here is Malaysia and have Generic

downloading the updates....

Thanks Sony!!!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sonic_boom:
thanks mate ;) so far so good
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jonmorris:
Another thing for UK users to be aware of is the lack of local and international roaming if you're on T-Mobile or Orange. With the Swiss ROM you'll be considered to be roaming if you swap from Orange to T-Mobile and vice versa.

Not a major issue but one to consider before doing the update.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jacker60:
Someone who have UK generic have already the update? I see that a lot of markets already have the update but i flash UK version and well SUS says that its not possible to connect right now... i just wanna know if its already released :fingers-crossed:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sinple:
use SEUS instead of pc companion. Mine had the same problem also when updateing .75
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kaosdroid:
For sure all people with sxs GB 2.3.7 can hear sound of their recorded video in "stereo"

I said in " because the sound is mono but diffuse at right and left.

But now in ICS some user report that they hear their video only on the left track !

Well,another issue that need to be fixed!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shoz_on4u:
Hi,

Anyone had success downloading ICS using PCC. Also which is the better FW like in case of GB CE1 and NL were the fastest since CE1 has no update yet what's the case with the NL version is there an update available?

Pls let us know and pls also upload the .ftf file as soon as u get so that we can test it..:)

Thanks
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] joens:
I successfully updated to ICS (Generic Spain) using SUS a couple of hours ago. PCC stated that it was unable to contact the servers, but SUS updated the phone and moreover all data was maintained. So yes, it is possible to update using official channels; took a bit though.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jonibang:
-Tried PCC, it says there's an update to ICS,but stopped midway and said there's no update available / unable to update (forgot the sentence).

-Tried SUS, it says there's no update for your phone.

Should i try the flashtool one?this is quite frustrating to update through official software.:(

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jonmorris:
Last night, I found that I was having problems with the camera - just as I wanted to actually take a photo rather than merely mess around with it.

On more than one occasion, the phone gave an error saying the camera wasn't ready or connected (can't remember exact message).

And the other issue, presumably as a consequence of me using the face unlock feature, was that I can fire up the camera and take a photo - then another one.. but it is in auto mode. If I change any feature (such as going off auto to a manual setting) the lock screen pops up and wants me to unlock. I can see that for exiting the camera, but to change a camera feature?

What's more, it wants to unlock in portrait mode - so when it fails to recognise my (now) sideways face, it brings up the pattern.. which also needs to be drawn sideways.

And finally, the auto focus is screwed! I found it incredibly hard to focus on things yesterday, and even when selecting the manual landscape mode - which usually means locking the focus, it still tries to focus! So I managed to get these shots to end up blurred, as it fails to lock on.

I remember the original Motorola Milestone/Droid having a problem with autofocus that only occured on certain days, due to the way it used the system clock in some way (can't remember exact problem - but it's probably only a short Google search away) and I wonder if there's something like that going on here? I mean, last night almost every shot I tried to take had the focus hunting and then locking on as a totally blurred image.

It pretty much makes the camera unusable when this happens, but it can't always be like that.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] naughtb4:
Just updated now and it seems that when i switch screens, images of the previous screens are still visible? anyone else encounter this problem?

I just did a straight upgrade with no factory reset etc. What is the best practice way to upgrade?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] donjamal:
i flashed the CH version first without wiping data, then it was laggy and had some issues. i left it for 3 days making sure to give time to it to settle but then after 3 days i decided to reflash with wiping everything. most of the issues gone now, only remaining is the wifi low signal - but not all the time - and the 3G/H connection drops (it is displayed but there's no data connection, you have to restart the phone). Happened to me yesterday while listening to music with walkman app on the subway, that my phone literally started to scream (distorted music) and when i pressed the power button to turn on the screen it restarted but nothing like this since. i also had issues with deep sleep, after charging the phone, i didn't go to deep sleep but now that seems to be sorted. maybe there was something in the background that caused problems or an app that i have already removed. regardless of these few problems, i recommend to wipe everything before upgrading, the general feeling is way better, less lag if any at all, feels so much smoother, i haven't had a single force close, nada. these minor things i spoke about happens very rarely and i really don't know what is the root cause. the wifi issue is reported by others, so that's regardless of the wipe or any other app, mobile data connection is reported as well but happened to me only after going to a blind spot and then coming out of it, so very rare again. no issues with the music since then and had nothing before either. that's my 2 cents :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] naughtb4:
Thanks for the advice,

I havent flashed, is it possible to use the backup/restore with PC Companion to do this combined with a factory reset?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] doministry:
Bad stories here. .75 FW was faultless, looks like generally ICS on X S is sh..t.

I see some people beeing totally happy with it but there are so many issues here,

it's terryfying.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] asg.srtw:

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] TheFirstFishy:
Go look at S3 or HoX forum and you will see almost the same problems with ICS. And like there I think some updates will be released.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] gm007:
Don't forget it's the first ics firmware,there will be an updates.

I am very satisfied with ics,no major problems only small glitches.

The battery could be better but it's very good for now,3g and wifi all the time.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] doministry:
Well that shows how we all accepted living in the ****..g beta reality.

Those guys test on us and make us pay for this. Instead of really doing their job.

It's embarassing. And makes me mad.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MrBelter:
Dont be stupid, if you wanted them to test it to extent of it being perfect it would have been 2018 before it got released.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] gm007:
That's why android is an open source,there is always place for improvement.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] doministry:

Get more people, invest more in quality not only flashy features and colourful homescreens.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] donjamal:
some stated it doesn't work. and if you backup from GB and then restore to ICS if you restore the data not just the applications, i'm not sure if it's a good idea.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] TheFirstFishy:
Then join the HTC, Samsung or Iphone train for flawless updates.

Ohh wait! I allso think they make softvare that need some bug fixes.

Well, atleast we know the good old Nokia 3210 allways work like a charm, and can hold battery for a week or so.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] doministry:
Just to clarify:

I wasn't talking specifically about Sony, maybe it wasn't clear.

I talk about the GENERAL situation on the smartphone market.

The same applies to Samsung, Apple, HTC.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] wello168:
Just update to ICS. update it to ICS WITHOUT any wiping data, hard reset, factory reset, just directly update it through PCC. Straight GB to ICS.

so far very happy with it because didn't have any notice lag in home screen, browser, and menu page.

despite all the thing goes tooooo well and smooooooth, i'm having problem with game, i face some lagness, wonder why that happen. is that because of the RAM?? my ram on ics is around 2++ only. any idea how to solve it?? or should do those reset thing??

Battery wise, can't really comment on it at the moment because just have ICS for 1 hour. In this 1 hour battery consume 20% with wifi on - little web browsing, gaming, and testing here and there non-stop! so not sure is this really normal??

I have read that user has been able to disable or enable app upon rebooting the device. can someone point it out to me and show me the method... thanks in advance:P

another thing is, once we touch the screen, the menu option appear at the top of the screen, is there any that we can set it to appear on long press or directly disable it...??

sorry for my poor english.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] doministry:
LOL :eek:

Improvement is a COMPLETELY different story than fixing newly introduced bugs and issues.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] TheFirstFishy:
Maybe if the big updates like GB -> ICS had a fee, they would have the tools to smooth out the updates. But since we get the stuff for free just by pressing a few buttons, it can be hard to say we want a flawless update.

Sure, it sucks to get a update that got that many problems, considering the time alot of prople have waited for their ICS (Sony, HTC, Samsung, Iphone and so on) and then see all the new bugs that needed to be fixed.

If they gave us abit of info on how much work they had put into each update, we might better understand all the work behind, and why we get a release with bugs that needs to be fixed afterwards.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] doministry:
No it's still wrong thinking.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Domen94:
is anyone else experiencing issues with walkman music player? the app always crashes upon launching!

EDIT: didn't work after first restart, working after 2nd one
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] TheFirstFishy:
Dont think its a ram issue since i can run GTA in high settings without problems and no problems in Dead Space either, but in games less ram dependent i suffer lag. Think the lag games are created for GB and not ICS ready

You can get they bar by tab or long press the homescreens, and by pressing the menu button. Think its a friendly way for Sony to tell us we need 3 ways to being able to enter that top menu. :laugh:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] thejosetree:
Same Here!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] gm007:
That's a dalvik VM problem,they put high value so big games work.

If you lower the value than small game will work perfectly but not big games.

This need tests to be done to find the best combination.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] TheFirstFishy:
Dont know who that Dalvik dude is. :laugh:

So GB had better valus, since i could run small and big games without lag problems?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] gm007:
The value was before 32/48 and now 64/256.
