Simplest Guide to install cmw !

As is usual with most updates, the Sony Ericsson Walkman Live lost root access after its recent update to Android 4.0.4. The guide below will show you how to obtain root access on this device running the 4.1.B.0.431 version of the OS and install ClockworkMod Recovery, enabling you to flash custom ROMs and do other things that require root access.

I. Before You Begin

1. This will not erase any data from your device, but as a precaution, do a backup of what you feel is important just in case.

2. This solution works by flashing a modified kernel that will provide root access. If you are not okay with this, do not proceed any further.

3. You will need a device with an unlocked bootloader for the procedure to work.

{ 4. If you want to install custom rom then download the custom rom and extract it. then there would a boot.img and replace it with the below bootextended blah blah.img } not understood? obviously... read full and then come back to this step.

II. Necessary Downloads

1. boot_EXtendedStockKernel_WT19i.img.

2. Fastboot Files

III. Flashing the Modified Kernel

1. Extract the fastboot-win32.zip file you downloaded above to a folder in your C:\ drive. You should end up with a folder named C:\fastboot-win32 containing fastboot.exe. Rename folder to fastboot for ease.

2. Copy the boot_EXtendedStockKernel_WT19i.img file you downloaded above to the same folder. Rename the file as boot.img for ease

3. Power down your device and put it into Fastboot Mode. To do this, press and hold the Volume Up + Power buttons until it enters the Fastboot mode. Blue led will glow.

3. Open up a Command Prompt window. To do this on your Windows 7 PC, click on the Windows Start button, type cmd in the search box and hit enter.

4. Run the following commands: (Get into . fastboot directory first ):- It should look as this

c:\fastboot\ fastboot flash boot.img

That’s it! You should have a rooted device after a reboot! :)

pls hit thanks if i helped.!

But that's for unlocked bootloader only! With the method I posted, you can root without unlocking the bootloader...

@OP Please tell us which build number you have! You must go to settings -> About phone -> Build number and tell us the number (or at least the 3 or 2 last numbers). If .42, .58, .62, .69, .432, .578! Otherwise we can't help you :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Dark_Az_:
First off, greetings to all. Not trying to hijack the thread but I have a quasi-related question.

Have a LWW WT19i, with Android 4.1.B.0.431 rooted as per the instructions here, with a locked bootloader (unlock allowed: no). I want to install Real ICS r5.2 which states it works with a locked BL, however the instructions ask me to use CWM which I can find no clear tutorial on how to install (most guides suggest installing new kernel).

Any help would be appreciated. Also fini13, if you're as new to this as I am, the guide I listed should help you at least with the rooting.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
When your phone is rooted, you sould install cwm with the Extreme Tweak installer. But make sure you select your phone, otherwise it could brick.

Give it a shot :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] guy with spanners:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bite_Me_21:
Heya Guys,

I've been trying to customise my GSIII but I'm finding it really tough to find wallpapers that take full advantage of the resolution. I've noticed that 1280 x 720 wallpapers fit perfectly and appear really sharp as lockscreen images but they are really hard to find on Google Images.

I've also heard that 1440 x 1280 should work great as my home screen wallpaper yet it appears blurry and not very sharp ... Do you guys know any good places to find wallpapers? This is really disappointing since with my old phone I could have thousands to choose from.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 123shree:
There was a thread here @xda in general or app section with all the 1280x720 wallpapers. A search might bring you the thread.

It was titled some "HD wallpaper collection" or something like that.. not so sure..

Sent from my GT-I9300
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Autodroid:
Try downloading the zedge app, it has lots of wallpapers and it detects the device you are using...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Conflict94:
On my phone, no matter the resolution, the lockscreen image will always appear blurry! i had to disable the s3 ripple effect (was using stock rom then) to make it clear again.

not sure whether this would help you. Anyway back on topic, for my phone i used resolution of 1440 x 900 and they looked great :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] f0xy:
Not to use sarcastic comments but a Google search would suffice :)

Click the images tab and then on the left look for advanced I think it is and then you can put your own res in

Hope this helps

I've got a dozens of wallpapers, and I got all of them from refined Google Images searches.

A wp that looks good ("pretty!") on the PC screen doesn't necessarily work well as a wallpaper, specially if there will be lots of icons and widgets on top if it.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wedouglas:
I am missing Google Play Movies and Transformers. Is this a region problem? My account is in the US and my CC/billing is in the US, but I originally turned it on while I was here in China. WTF? The app is nowhere to be found, nor is Transformers. Why does this even matter? Am I not allowed to watch my own content overseas or something?

On the Google Play website, it say it is compatible with both my devices and when I browse the Play Store from my Nexus 7, it is listed as Update. I tried installing it to the Nexus 7 from the website, but it never downloads.

So, how do I get back Google Play Movies, Transformers, and other region specific applications?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] browngeek:
You need to be using a US VPN to get the free movies.

To get the apps, you need to root and then you can see them with Titanium Backup.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wedouglas:
I am on a US VPN.

So what the hell am I supposed to do when I travel? The second you leave the country, your app permanently disappears forcing you to either root the device or constantly factory reset? This is absurd. It doesn't have a SIM card, so how can it be region locked?

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmg5461:
Will it work?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kboya:
Yes. If it's the same device!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmg5461:
Vague, but it's a replacement. Please verify
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noneabove:
I tried this!!! I do not suggest it!!! Nothing went.. wrong per say.. everything restored nicely and I went on my way, but it had more lag spikes, it had random freezes while screen was off that required a reboot, and biggest of all, it semi corrupted the sdcard partition so it couldn't be accessed, I ended up just wiping my device and starting fresh, works fine now :) to wipe I suggest locking boot loader and reunlocking to get it really well wiped. For the record my restore was with only data which a Dev deemed safer than a full restore but sadly as he suspected, there were problems. You can I think use titanium backup on non system apps pretty safely though :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kboya:
My answer was as specific as your 'question'. Assuming it is N7 to N7, with both in near identical states (I.e. ROM, apps, wipes etc) then it should work. However, restoring data is usually a hit-miss affair and YMMV.

'Old' and 'new device', as you stated, only make complete sense to you and the many mind readers and/or voyeurs and stalkers :rolleyes:
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmg5461:
Well we are in the N7 forum, and asking to restore data from a custom rom to a stock device would just be asking for trouble, lol.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dansan382:
yea golden rule, dont load a backup from one device to a replacement of that same device. apps are fine through titanium backup but dont be loading nandroid backups
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erica_renee:
I do this all the time across my devices .Restore my CUSTOM TI Backup but you need to selectively choose what to restore. This works ONLY With APPS AND APP DATA. NO SYSTEM APPS OR SYSTEM APP DATA. that is how the sd card becomes currupt. Also if you do a FULL BACKUP SAY OF YOUR PHONE. then selective restore some of it to A Say your tablet with apps and app data. THIS WILL ALSO NOT WORK IN YOUR FAVOR.

FROM the old device . do a backup of APPS ONLY no (some apps will work with apps and app data) THEN Restore that on your tablet or new device . Do not make a full backup of the old device then selectivity restore from it to the new device. This can also cause issues on the new device.

Hope this is not to complicated to understand im no writer.

The above is from my own personal experience with TI BACKUP... The above is how i have been doing it for years.. GOOD Luck

---------- Post added at 11:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:16 AM ----------

installed apps . (APPS THAT WAS not part of the rom)this will work just fine to backup and restore.. Even most will restore app data.

The problem comes when restore apps from one device to another where the app when it installs sets itself for the device type . Then restored to a different device type.. The issue with system apps is it could replace some system settings or files during the restore and currupt data or apps.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dellenrules:
I just RMA my nexus device.

Used the command "adb backup -apk shared all"

That backed up my entire device and I didn't have to be rooted or have my boot loader unlocked.

Typed in "adb restore backup.ab" on my new device and was right where I left off.

You need the latest android SDK on you PC and you also need to run those commands as administrator.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obi-Wan-YJ:
I have an "adb backup" file from a stock, first-gen Nexus 7 16GB that was damaged. We replaced it with a second-gen Nexus 7 32GB, which has been rooted without touching the bootloader. We're having trouble getting the games to recognize their data when we restore them piecemeal, so I'm wondering if it would be safe to restore the adb backup from the old device to the new device? Are there enough differences to cause problems? If it fails, will I still be able to simply do a factory reset and get the new N7 back to factory specs? We've only had the new one a few days.

Hey guys, I just updated my phone, all stock updates, no root or custom roms. Now all my music and pics are gone, as well as contacts but the messages are still there

Has this happened to anyone else, it's really stressful for me and I don't what to do :/
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
You're contacts should have been stored in google and when you went through the device set up after update they should have been restored after you sign into google? In the future there it's a application called my backup and it doesn't require root to use it. You can backup you're applications data and contacts that way if you are updating or things of that nature. In your contacts is there a way to see if they are stored on your sd card? It's been a long while since I was running stock but I think I remember settings that you can restore the contact's from your sd card back to your device. Look into the contract menu and see if that option is available . I'm a bit confused as to why they were not restored automatically when you signed into your google account? Being stock your very limited as to what you can and can not do. If all else fails contact your provider, they might know of a way to restore your contacts on there end. I wish I could be of more help but I'm not sure what kind of options you have available to you running stock .

Perhaps try a reset again and sign in through your google during set up and google should restore them automatically after sign in. I know when I flash roms and change my software, once I sign in the initial set up through google my contacts are all restored . This might work. It wouldn't hurt to try it. I wish you the best and hope you can get your issue resolved soon ! Hopefully they are not gone but stored to your sd card. If you have a card reader you can put the sd card in it and see which files are stored on it, including pictures. Unless the update erased them somehow. I wish I could be of more help. Best wishes.

Hi all...

My WFS was hard bricked when i flashed this "RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.26.401.3_Radio_47.23e.35.3038H_7.57.39.10M_release_261695_signed"

Then i send it for JTAG repair, and they has successfully recover my phone's bootloader.

Because my phone was flashed with a higher version of firmware which is 2.26.401.3 and it cannot accept any lower version.

Is there any way that i can flash a firmware to it?

Do i need to S-OFF the device ?

You have to update your boot loader to 1.08.xxx or later version to root your device and then flash any custom ROM as you wish.

You don't need to S-OFF when you unlock the bootloader. (Since it will cost you to buy XTC Clip and then S-OFF with it).

Just go thru this Guide which will help you to Root your device.
