Yeah, the Kernel from the Acro S has to handle the external SD card. Xperia S Kernel can be flashed but the external storage won't work.

Make sure ur region is APAC.

Run flashtool 0.9.0.0,

drag the ftf file into the flashtool window,

wait for files to be prepared until it pops up the instructions,

turn off phone,

hold volume down button and connect to computer,

continue holding until the driver successfully installed,

wait for flashing to complete.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mjamocha:
I would also suggest that (if your tab is rooted) put the movies on an thumb drive, use the OTG cable to read your USB, have your movie player navigate to that directory and watch your movies

that way. Also saves a lot of space.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ewingr:
an H"I've been doing a lot of reading, and it has served to confuse me. I;m not new to rooting Nandroids or flashing ROMS...but that is based on Android phones.

My 101 is likely a sbkv1 (s/n starts with b40). It is completely orginal, with latest ICS ROM.

I see multiple ways to root. But I've also read about "create a gold card", no "you don't need a gold card". "Use ROM Manager", "Don't use Rom Manager'. "Partition SD Card"...I've never done that on any phone.

I've read things that gives me the impression that backups are different from what we do on the phones.

I have no idea how I am supposed to hook to a PC to do rooting. Haven't found anything on that. I had expected a basic Rooting starter guide that would include that.

I hate to ask what for most here is probably considered basic stuff, or easily found by search. I have tried some research, as noted above.

Hopefully someone can point me to a good, current type of overview or some initial guidance.

[EDIT]

Reviewing again the post about 'gold card', I realize that one turned up in a search from the suggestions presented when i started this thread, and it was from an HTC Desire thread. I had thought that suggestions for answers during a post would search only the thread you are posting in. Not so.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhomiec:
i recently rooted my TF101, and it was no different than all the phones i've ever rooted. backing up is the same too via ClockworkMod. and as for ROM Manager, i've never used this before anyways. i've always preferred booting into CWM and flashing ROMs that way.

i used the guide here... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1689193

it's basically one of those DOS-prompt looking root programs. and it does it all for you.

the only downside i've had so far from using this method, for some reason my computer will not recognize the TF101 is connected anymore. even though it was initially connected before root.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ewingr:
Thanks so much. I'll check it out

Have you put a new ROM on? My main motivation to do this is to hopefully improve performance. I find that in both the stock and Chrome browsers, I get a lot of pauses, and lags.

How are you connecting your ASUS to a PC?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhomiec:
i've tried a few ROMs- Megatron, Revolver, Liquid Smooth, CyanogenMod. each of these still wouldn't allow my computer to recognize it. and even stock rooted. but- each of these did provide a noticeable performance boost. and i ended up staying with Megatron. i'm tempted though to try out the Jelly Bean ROMs.

and i'm using the cable that came with the tablet. it's unfortunately the only cable i have, so i can't test to see if the cable is at fault for connecting issues. and i haven't tried to connect to another computer yet either. i left it plugged in during the entire root process. once finished, it was no longer recognizable.

edit: actually, i lied, it was no longer recognized after installed ClockwordMod. i forgot this was an additional/optional step.so yea, root finished, continued to use the software to install and reboot into CWM, and then lost PC connectivity.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] udupa82:
Hey if you are planning to root your tablet then look at easy flasher.. I used revolver ICS and android revolution HD.. both are much better than stock ICS... I have moved into jelly bean but I liked both and had better performance and stability... so go for it...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ewingr:
Thanks. I'm a dork...I forgot that the cable in the charger was a USB cable that I could pull out. :o

I did notice that in the DEV thread. I'll give it a go.

One other question: I presume that doing all this, I should do so with keyboard not hooked up, and that the updates make no difference to the keyboard utilization.

Oh, too...is it possible to restore just data (from a Nandroid) on this after installing a ROM and have success? I have done that on my SGS III. (I suppose it depends on the ROM...maybe I should ask/read in that thread).
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhomiec:
i originally rooted and installed CWM without the keyboard dock connected. and actually come to think of it, i've been trying to connect to my computer through the keyboard dock. i haven't tried to connect from tablet straight to computer. man, if this is the problem.... damnit all.

and i never restore data. i always like to start fresh. and then use Titanium Backup to restore everything. you can always stay on stock rooted, install Titanium Backup, run backup, flash a ROM, then install Titanium Back, and restore.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ewingr:
Yeah...Titanium works. The restoring Data from Nandroid is just so much quicker, as it even restores all settings, and widgets. Widgets aren't restored by TIBU.

Thanks.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] El Brillantinas:
This happened to me in february with my Xperia X8. The weird thing is I totally killed my phone trying to opening the bootloader, but you say your Ray is dead 'cause you installed Pureness and flashed a baseband; I'm not an expert but I think flashing the baseband messed with the bootloader, of course, if I'm wrong please someone correct me.

I tried to revive my X8 with all methods I found around the web, with no results. The only advice I can give is trying to find a person with Medusa Box and see if he can bring your Ray back to life, but this may be quite hard.

Or... Sending to SONY support, maybe they could fix it, as you didn't touch the bootloader, but if it was already unlocked, then they wouldn't do anything for you.
