[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sulfulric:
Hi, once again THANKS for this mini tutorial:)

No worry you will not be responsible if my phone meltdown :P, i know flashing is always a little risky, but if something goes wrong most of the time only need to rooting again e flash it. (little chance of burning literally the phone, only if doing insane overclocks), beside i try the "locked bootloade" first so, i think is even easier to restore factor ICS if something bad happens.(hope not) :fingers-crossed:

-when you install the patch, you don't clean cache or something? just install?

-about the hifi modules, i should install it or only if my wifi not work?

in my work days i don't have time to do this procedure but in weakend i want apply this. Really lov the stock ICS look, not that changed version of sony (i mean, is pretty, but don't like) :P

Thanks for all the help.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nPingu:
I didnt wipe cache or dalvik when I applied the patch... Wifi modules are linked with the kernel you choose, so if you dont flash them, wifi won't work...so "yes" is the answer in any case! ;) let me know if everything works out!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
You should when flashing any new ROM because it rules out any issues that might a rise after installing.

Not needed, but there is a baseband for CM9 which is in the thread, up to you if you want to use it or not.

Hi, o.k e see. :)

i tell you if everything works and my opinion about the room .

by the way, im thinking in root the phone before doing the rooming just to test something, remove bloatware on xperia. My friend speak about this http://www.unlockroot.com/, do you know if its work? because as far as i know we need to downgrade the ics 4.0.4 to 4.0.3 to apply the rooting.

have a nice day :), and thanks for your fast reply to all my doubts :)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sulfulric:
humm, i see, thanks for the clarification :)

can i ask you something subjective?

if i root the xperia ics stock room, and clean all bloatware, really i need a new room? i mean. it will be more stable? or what i will benefit from it?

Thanks, best regards
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sulfulric:
hi,

Thanks for the orientation. I am new in this forums and really don't know yet how this works, beside, i search a lot for questions and i found some really interesting answers but the problem is, i have some specific questions and the threats about "Arc S" are overwhelming, (so much suggestions, feedback's, new versions, errors etc) i cant focus in my thinking line, and get more and more confused :/.

Next time ill make a threat if is really necessary o.k? :).

I need to thanks all the members in this one, for the quickly answers and clarifications.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nPingu:
You'll have more system space, probably your phone will be smoother and stable.

Anyway, IMHO:

-change kernel if you're looking for performance improvement, overclocking/undervolting or some particular feature

-change rom if you find some features you'd like/need that are not inside the stock one or if you want to customize it.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sulfulric:
Hi,

Thanks for your feedback

I first ill try rooting and after that maybe a new room, but i confess, i am a Little scarred, don't want to brick my phone :).

Speaking in root, do you have some thoughs about this? http://www.unlockroot.com/, to rooting the phone? (i am in ICS 4.0.4 - 4.1.B.0.431)

(this weakend i have played with the phone, photos, system, etc,, and this is a great phone for a single core, really fast, my fried have a galaxy S3 and the diference is not so much and the price is more them 2x more)

take care, and thanks for all the help and feedbacks.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
Why any one would pay to root when it can be done for free is beyond me. That site is for the laziest of lazy.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sulfulric:
Pay :confused:? who talks about paying? that is a free tool for rooting, no payment needed. Take a look first.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nPingu:
I wouldn't use that my friend... Just stick to the rooting guide in the General section and it will be fast and painless.. I'm not a developer or anything but starting from 0 knowledge thanks to this community and searching the forum i unlocked my bootloader, rooted the phone, installed custom kernel and rom, supercharged it and more! :)

I love this place and as you can see i dont have much posts, not cause i'm new but cause I always Found what I was looking for..

:) if you need help I'm here, but use the search tool and probably you'll get all the answers you need!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sulfulric:
you are right, i found some threat about this software i talk to you, and ill not use it.

However last night i make the process you indicate me and everything go smooth, now i have a official ics sony 4.1.5(something) rooted.

thanks for help. must appreciated.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lilbeast:
does any one know when LTE in PALATINE will come live?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
Largely depends on whether you're considered part of the "chicago" market which is supposed to be around september.

If you aren't part of that rollout.....Not anytime soon.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lilbeast:
damn u have to be kidding me!! well i live like 20 mins from chicago. hope that the tower signal travel will travel far enought.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ewalk4866:
Well right now lte is about 10 miles or so west of palatine so it's just a matter of time. Now as far as Chicago getting lte I hate to say it but I don't think we might have lte this year :(. My office where I work has a sprint tower on it and a tech was out working on it and he was saying lte for Chicago might not happen this year with all the work they still have to do to the towers. I was also that Illinois already has 40% lte coverage so that's kind of good but could always be better

OP u say your from palatine well I am to so if u want to talk for some reason pm maybe we can get together sometime :)

Who did you hear that from? Sprint reps will tell you anything to leave happy.

Given that they haven't even officially announced there will be LTE for chicago, its probably not gonna be a few days from now

i cant wait till next year for LTE. darn sprint 3G Sucks! ive been waiting for this to long. those tower better go live this year. or else ill have to beat someone up hahah
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
If they're 40% done with Illinois, they could easily go live this month. Many of the first round LTE markets went live with much less than 40 percent complete. They won't be DONE with Chicago this year, but I'm sure they'll go live this year.

So I used the search function to no degree of success as well as google without any straight forward answer. Is it possible/is there an enhanced power menu I can flash using CWM recovery to the STOCK ROOTED rom on the GSM Galaxy Nexus? Apologies if this has been asked before, as I stated I saw no results in a search that lead to a straight forward answer. Thanks

I don't think you'll find a flashable mod but if your rooted there are apps that can add that functionality.

yes if you have a deodexed stock rom installed. several mods are here for that. but all mods themes work in deodexed.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kryptonite666:
hey guys, i really really need some help here please. i finally decided to root my phone, that went fine, then i decided to look for a kernel so i could overclock my desire z, i downloaded kernel manager, and installed Flippy125's 1.9ghz froyo kernel (which i didnt know was broken because it didnt say so on kernel manager)...after that kernel was installed, i now cant connect to wifi, cant get a mobile network signal, and cant connect to the pc at all (usb disk drive, usb debugging, internet pass through) i cant get any sort of internet what so ever to try going to kernel manager and getting a new one :( can you help me out at all on how to reset it to a factory kernel or anything that can atleast get my phone working again? thanks guys
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warbuff:
Did you create a backup in recovery before you upgraded the kernel? If so wipe and the restore. If not try to find a stock rom and flash back to stock. Youll lose all your apps however.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackknightavalon:
Try flashing a different ROM over it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kryptonite666:
is it possible to do it through the clockwork recovery console? i was trying to get into it for like an hour then my phone randomly restarted into it while i was typing that first post...lol

EDIT: okay guys, i found some MIUI rom on my sd card, installed that, and everything seems to work now, but seems like it'll be a major chore to get used to, is there any way i can use the original HTC UI? or do i have to use different ROM's from now on?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackknightavalon:
Don't flash that kernel. ROMs have their built-in kernels that are already fast (1500Mz when the phone was originally rated 800Mz is impressive). Try different ROMs out.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] phoenix6:
I having big issues with my SR lately. I was on chimera 2.2 and things were great. Popped cm10 alpha 3 on there with investgator Xs kernel on there and started getting SODs, one time it was locked for a while before I got to it. Was pretty warm. After that I've wiped the SD cards clean, odin'd back to stock, tried SEVERAL ROMs, cm 9 official, skyics, cm 10 super lite, and others... no matter what ROM (all with the kernel they come with) I get a SOD every 15 to 45 minutes. Even weirder is no last_kmsg is being produced!

With or without any CPU apps. No under volting. Tried 3 different batteries. Tried all I/O Schedulers.

I have exhausted everything I know about this to fix it and I don't know what to do.

I've tried wiping and flashing ROMs with all existing recovery options (twrp, cwm, cwm touch, custom cwm touch) and with or without dark side scripts. I've wiped 3 times or more....restored very old nandroids that never had that problem too, and they get it.

Is it possible there is ANYTHING left in my files that normally won't get wiped that could cause this? Is there anyway to figure this out or does it sound like my SR is going bad? I'm up for any solution. Today using one of the nandroids it didn't get a SOD all day, but it was stuck from going into deep sleep due to a wake lock from chrome which I have since fixed... its getting SODs again now...

I realize you may benefit helping me with a log cat which I'm trying to get with lumberjack. Oh and a dmesg right?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help. I'll answer any questions I can I may have forgotten.

Forgot to mention I know a repatriation in Odin should help but there is no pit file for this phone... any other ways around that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jamesc760:
Try a fresh new revert back to stock on odin. If you still get sod, you are sol. Your phone hardware has gone bad. I'm guessing your internal sdcard developed corruption and is ireparably damaged.

Try to get it repaired or replaced under warranty.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] phoenix6:
Thank you for the reply.

Wanted to give an update... I sent the phone to Samsung for warranty repairs last week. It is labeled as fixed and on its way home today. The repair tracker they let me see said it was a "Side Button Failure" and the repair was a "S/W Updated"... Now I know there has been talk of a power button issue with this phone.. but I was leaning more towards what the above poster stated.. a corrupt internal SD or something along those lines...

I guess my confusion is, did they really duplicate my problem before throwing a fix at it and then VERIFY it was indeed, fixed? I don't know how shotty Samsung warranty repairs have been for others but I hope they did indeed fix my problem. I guess we'll see.

I have loved my Samsung Captivate but, I've been reading that the S3 has had some hitches in terms of custom rom support.

Engadget said it wasn't "new enough" in the title of their article but, besides "feeling bulky in hand" they couldn't find a single thing wrong with it...

I Hate the way At&T Slapped Their Logo ... on the Bottom , it looks fugly
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] BigDnm01:
I heard about the rumors about AT&T USA releasing this phone, and also T-Mobile USA.

I'm currently with T-Mobile USA. Now even if the rumors is true, I don't really planning on buy it branded. not a fan. especially of the logo on the phone. However if I did buy it unlocked, will I be able to add carrier-specific features/service/apps? mainly Wi-fi calling.

I may switch to AT&T and if I can do the same that that would be great.

I just wonder if it's possible. have XDA done something like that, extracting those apps to add to unlocked phones?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Spectre51:
With the Sony phones its been possible to flash the generic International firmware on the AT&T devices and visaversa so you can choose which firmware you want. Should be the same with the Xperia T
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] CAmmon:
So will the white version ever be offerred from AT&T and will there be an option for the plastic back?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Spectre51:
Not sure if the white will be offered. I will have to check on that.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Entropy512:
Hmm... If "coming weeks" is indeed "first week in November" - darn, that's a bit disappointing. Was hoping to try and get a CM bringup started before the Big Android BBQ.

You seem to have inside information from AT&T - Are they going to play the same bootloader unlock-blocking shenanigans they did with the HOX, or will this device have an unlockable bootloader just like the international T?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Spectre51:
Seeing how they have done everything else it will be locked. Just like the ion.

Looks like just the black for now. No plastic back.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] khayjason:
Hey Spectre51,

I don't know if I should wait for the Xperia T or just get the Xperia ion since it's free at BestBuy and SonyStyle. If I get the Xperia ion from BestBuy/SonyStyle, is there anyway to waive the $36 upgrade fee? It says free but the checkout price for BestBuy is $38.50 and for SonyStyle, it's $18.50 + the $36 upgrade fee... So acutally.. It's not free!?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] batman_112:
After you get the phone and activate, call at&t customer service and ask for the fee to be waived. It worked for me a couple of years ago when I upgraded to the Xperia X10....
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Snow_fox:
I would wait at least a little while.. no reason to assume it's automatically going to be locked down.. or locked down past reason.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Entropy512:
That's why I'm going to wait until launch. Maybe we will get lucky and this one will be unlockable, but it is not likely given AT&T's track record.

Unless it is OFFICIALLY unlockable, I will not be purchasing it. I refuse to support manufacturers/carriers who force us to resort to hacks and workarounds.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Snow_fox:
I can't afford to be picky when it comes to locked bootloaders. I don't care how it's unlocked as long as it's unlocked. I wish I could fully support the unlocked bootloader cause so to speak but, I have a lot of criteria for any given phone.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Mahdi786:
I ended up getting a T-Mobile xperia t which has an unlockable bootloader, coming from a galaxy s2 I didn't know about all this bootloader stuff,

The question is, will there be a hack in the future so we can install CM10 on our phones?

Or am I stuck with an unlockable bootloader...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Snow_fox:
That's hard to tell. Depends on how many versions are locked and hope many devs want to try and unlocked it.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Is that just because its sim locked though? I was under the impression SONY was going to make all its devices unlockable via the SONY method but only if the carrier agreed to keep the device sim unlocked...and its the carrier decision to do that, not sony, so it depends where you get the phone from.

I know you seem to have access to many devices, some of which you have got hold of before the official release date...is that something to do with it as well.

EDIT

I read the white paper, is the bootloader unlocking down to this statement
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] prueba01:
Is the Us version out already ?

$?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Spectre51:
Not yet. Early Nov.

AT&T has an exclusive agreement with Sony so the phone is sold Sim locked. Sony will unlock the bootloader of phones as long as they are not tied to a carrier like the ion, play or TL. Now if you can get one of the international versions or buy an unlocked device not through the carrier they will allow the bootloader unlock such as if you buy a Xperia S, P, U from the sonystyle site or newegg.com or somewhere else like that.

So yes it depends where you get the phone, through the carrier or from another retailer that sells the sim unlocked version.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] chiefy009:

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Entropy512:
um, unlockable is what you want???? Do you mean a bootloader that is NOT unlockable?

If it is locked and the official unlock is not available, you won't be able to run CM10. :(

After talking with some people, it sounds like there is a chance that Sony may sell the TL directly, and that version will be SIM-unlocked/have an unlockable bootloader.

There is a slight (miniscule/tiny) chance that devices purchased at full price (no subsidy) through AT&T might be unlockable, but it's highly unlikely, especially considering that while officially AT&T claims they'll give you a SIM-unlock for devices purchased at full price, often they won't.

So far, nothing is definite, other than that contract-subsidized devices will NOT have an unlockable bootloader.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Snow_fox:
I think at&t will allow you to sim unlock your phone if you pay for it full price but, I've never heard of them unlocking the bootloader if you pay full price.

And being totally honest here.. as much as I'd love to try the Xperia Tl.. The Galaxy S3 would be 200$ or less on contract *AND* it already has a thriving dev community.

I would love to get the xperia TL but, honestly.. if you're going to flash a custom ROM anyway then why pay over 500$ when you can get similar specs for 200$?

If you aren't locked into a family plan or something and would have to pay 500$ either way then, I'd probably opt for a nexus device since it's a no-contract situation.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] exsulis:
If you wait a year, at&t will do the sim unlock for free
