How to root Xperia GO

Whether you are on GB or ICS? Have you tried this? It also has a tutorial for rooting ICS. But in either case, you need have your GB ROM.

I dont have the ROM and i cant find any :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuisma:
- Reflash your phone with current firmware using Sony Update Service

- Copy the blobs Update Service caches from the update to local directory

- Use Flashtool to decrypt and recreate the tft from the blobs

- Unzip the ftf and unpack the boot image together with to kernel

- Edit /default.prop and set ro.secure=0

- Repack the root initramfs file system

- Create a new boot image with the root filesystem and the kernel

- Unlock the boot loader

- fastboot the new image (no need to flash it)

- "adb shell" to the phone, you are now the root user

- remount /system read-write

- add busybox, su and whatever you like

Check www.youtube.com/watch?v=bB77gWRUI_A for details about getting your original image.

See http://developer.sonymobile.com/wp/2011/05/06/how-to-build-a-linux-kernel/ about building the boot image.

Search this forum about how to unpack the .sin-files :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] holst75:
Thanks!

But now to next problem... If i run Sony PC Companion I will get anser NO FW found for your device???? (i select repair)

and if i use Sony Update Service i dont get any repar or reinstall it says you already have the last FW........
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuisma:
Ah, strange. Update Service is supposed to reinstall the same version already installed. Maybe Sony not yet updated their servers.

Still I believe you can work around this. The nice thing about Sony Xperia is that when you unlock its bootloader, you can boot your phone over usb using fastboot without having to flash the image. I.e. a single one-time-boot of your image, without any permanent modifications of your phone.

This means you can always try booting another boot image than the original. It don't have to work perfect, just brining the devices up so you can access it via usb and "adb shell". It need to use the same disk devices (mount right partition at right mount point), so try using a image from another Xperia and hope for the best. You can check the mount points using the command "mount" in the shell, compare with the mount points of some other Xperia you can get the ROMs to.

So download a Xperia ROM from XDA, edit ro.secure=0, recompile the boot image again and try fastboot the phone (do not flash it!). If it boots, don't care if everything things isn't working properly, just transfer su and busybox to /system/bin and then halt and restart the phone - this time from the internal flash (= original image), and you got the phone using its original image, but with the su and busybox you need to become root.

Again - do not flash your image, only boot the phone with it. If you flash it, and don't got the original image to restore back, your phone is bricked.

Problem solved.

Hi guys,

I created ftf from blobs and unzip ftf.

I used Nero Young guide to make custom rom (kernel), but when I need to add boot.img to my kitchen folder, I can't find it.

I tried to follow this guide http://developer.sonymobile.com/wp/2011/05/06/how-to-build-a-linux-kernel/, but without success. I also try SIN2IMG, mkbootimg... but nothing

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aquethys:
Hey guys,

Im looking at purchasing my first tablet. Right now, the two top choices are either this device or the Galaxy Note 10.1. I like the note 10.1 because of the larger screen and s pen functionality but this device is guaranteed updates. Right now because of the 10.1 inch screen the ppi for the note is like 169..will that be noticeable?

In all, if I shell out 300 more bucks is it worth it?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dferrey:
Speaking for myself, I would look closely at whether I needed 10" or could live with 7". I would look closely at what I planned to use the tablet for now and in the next year or so. The answer for me is while I'd like to use 10" screen, there isn't anything I will be using, at least in the foreseeable future, that requires 10". Now when you consider it's 2.5x the price, the answer is simply. My wife and I own 7" tablets and my next one will either be the N7 or the next Kindle Fire.

Oh, I'm in Longmont :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Tunderpimp:
Hello and thank you for taking the time to read this.

Alright what I want to do is make a copy, clone, or back-up of my stock rom and if its at all possible to unroot the phone. Why? because if anything happened to my phone example I droped it and something like the 4g stoped working I would still like the use my insurance to replace it.

Now I've looked all over the forums not just on this site but others to see if this was a possibility. I was able to find a Recovery thread on the wiki but it says FROYO ONLY! Let me give you a little info about my phone it might help you, help me. Firmware 2.3.6, Kernel 2.6.35.7, Build Gingerbread, model SGH-T959V and I rooted it with the newest superoneclick. I'am really good with computer junk and with tutorials a simple link to lead me in the right direction should be all I need.

Another thing I was looking at was Valhalla Final T959V I seen a tutorial somewhere on that but lost it. A link to that would be really sweet.

Sorry if I'am being a pain in the butt but I do really appreciate your help. Thanks

you can do it manually just to be safe. download this and place it in your sdcard: http://android.clients.google.com/p....signed-takju-JRO03C-from-JRN84D.edfff6d3.zip

boot to CWM and flash it. wipe cache and fix permissions and you should be ok.

once it boots you can root it and delete the recovery-from-boot.p file to get CWM back on too.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbaud:
Hi XDA,

I am trying to make my Hero work with the Arduino Mega ADK (Accessory Development Kit), but it never detects it.

The files com.android.future.usb.accessory.jar and android.hardware.usb.accessory.xml have been added to the system, as proposed on this thread: https://github.com/ezterry/manifest-gingerbread-DS/issues/32.

The Arduino says:

Device addressed... Requesting device descriptor.
found possible device. swithcing to serial mode
Data packet error: 5could not read device protocol version

I am currently under SHPONGLE v3.5, but exactly the same happens with Elelinux 7.2.

Does someone knows a ROM that can handle it? I think it should be possible, because the HTC Dream can.

Maybe recompiling the kernel is necessary ?

Thanks!

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Maverick777:
If you're in an area with good coverage, I won't hesitate to recommend them. Great customer service and very good monthly rates. I've been with them 8 years.

If you have spotty coverage at home, the GS3 has wifi calling. You can use that when overseas as well. Find a hotspot, make calls just using your regular minutes. Huge for travelers.

I've considered switching before, but I'd end up paying $50 or more a month to switch. I only considered switching because T-mobile doesn't have the greatest phone selection, but they've been doing better lately.

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] chamberc:
I am a former, never to be Tmobile customer again. I had been an AT&T customer for 10+ years. No real complaints other than the dropped calls. We are now Verizon customers for just over 6 months, primarily because of the coverage and was waiting on the share everything plan, which for us was a heck of a deal.

Data speeds on Tmobile's 3.5G HDSPA+ are awful compared to Verizon or AT&T 4G in Dallas in our experience, and just barely better than 3G on any of the three carriers.

They have terrible support of their products. 9 times out of 10 they'll say "Send it back to the manufacturer" and will not help you in the stores. They've also closed more of their call centers due to the government's interference in their joining up with AT&T.

Their billing is a nightmare... 6 months after canceling my contract I get paper bills saying I owe -$2.31 (a credit). They've wasted more money sending me the bill even though I don't give a crap about getting the $2 back.

Sprint has terrible coverage in DFW at least.

My 2 cents.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] 1SiK1500:
T-Mobile data is an upgrade from sprint.

I dont feel sprint will be keeping "unlimited" once they go LTE.

Also T-mobile is going LTE next year also. All Major carriers will be LTE.

The difference is, TMO is not paying for their reform. The failed merger is. Sprint is coming out of their own pocket, so i see their deployment to be slower.

I had sprint for 7 years, Swapped to TMo to lower monthly pricing. Very happy with my choice and my $61/Month bil..

Good luck with your decision. :good:
