Are you sure that PCC and SUS are not running in background?

Currently there seems no way to root XS JB. Stay tune and later some people may make a tool to root JB.

Hey guys,

I noticed about the JB update coming to S, SL. Now, I'm excited and so eager for the update!

As you know, the update arrival time, depends on region & country.

And.. Here's the question; I'm not sure what region my phone is! Is there anyway I can know that? Code, App, etc.

Thanks IA:)

jelly bean update question

Hi there, great resource here.

I just installed the jelly bean 4.1.2 update on my Xperia Acro S, and I'm getting a message everytime I boot. It says the phone will shut off in 15 minutes automatically for shipping protection. It then says to either insert a sim card to disable the shipping setting, or hit cancel to continue. If I hit cancel, I can use the phone fine until I shut it off, then it comes up again when booted.

I use my Acro S in my office for wifi only, so I don't have a sim card. Is there any way to disable this warning without a sim card?

Not an earth shattering problem, but annoying so I figured maybe one of you guys knows if it's possible to disable without having to get a sim card.

Thanks...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] TechExhibeo:
I think this message comes so.as to save the battery...as it seems that phone os being shipped...;)

Rooting

Hello, I require some help and would be grateful if you could reply to this post.

My question is, Can i download and rename a .zip android update file to a .ftf so I can use it with flashtool.

I ask this because this root tool is now incompatible with build 6.2.B.0.200.

Could i download DooMLoRDs ROM, rename it to .ftf and flash it via Flashtool.

Hello,

I am new here and I have a question. I unlocked the bootloader of my xperia s, tested some roms, then I relocked it and updated to Jelly Bean through PC companion. After I updated, I read that if you unlock the bootloader you lose some DRM keys for Bravia Engine and for Download Music Info service. But the music info is downloading correctly (it says powered by Gracenote) and there isn't any error when I activate/deactivate Bravia Engine in Settings app. Is there any way to check those DRM keys or to repair them or to check if Bravia engine is working? Thanks :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] TechExhibeo:
Yes u will recieve updates from sony..

And u can update it without any problem ;)

Thanks for the reply...

I know it's a shipping setting so the battery won't die, but unfortunately it stops the boot process every time I boot. I'm using a couple apps that load on boot, and this warning messes up the boot process.

I do hit cancel, then I have to reset the apps. It's a problem because it continues to happen every time I boot.

I don't have a sim card, so I was hoping someone knew a way to cancel this interrupt warning through software.

Thanks again...

Do not buy Xperia S. Get xperia V, T, Z. Xperia S has the most buggiest update at the moment (jelly bean) and the battery life is poor. You should go to gsmarena.com and try to go through phones and have a look at their talk-time duration.

You'd has to go back to ics. Root and cwm. Flash DoomLord's rooted jb. Then add his cwm for locked bootloaders. Then flash the rom. (assuming that you want the rom too, not just the kernel)

If your bootloader is locked you cannot flash a kernel. So effectively at the end you'd have stock kernel still with the modified rom

I bought a 2nd hand Xperia S for 155€ with one year warranty and it will arrive tomorrow. I think that it was a fair price for this phone as it was overall in good condition excluding the missing HDMI-port cover and scratched battery cover. I already bought replacement parts for them and the total price for this phone and parts was about 165€ including shippings.

What is the best JB-rom currently available?

By best I mean balanced between performance, nolag, optimized camera performance and batterylife.

You need to wait until it comes to see if the bootloader is unlockable first :)

Hoping someone can help with my Xperia S (locked bootloader).

I was on ICS .55, rooted and CWM installed. I flashed a new ROM (Nexus v3 for locked bootloader) and then flashed a stock JB kernel and re-installed CWM - so far so good and it booted into the new ROM and I was messing about with restoring apps.

Things went wrong when I restored non-system apps+data using Nandroid Manager and rebooted as it then went into a reboot loop. I eventually managed to get out of this by flashing the world-generic .200 ftf which means the phone is up and running, but I've now lost root which means I can't install CWM to reflash the Nexus ROM.

Is there a pre-rooted ftf .200 out there to bypass the need for CWM? I guess the only alternative otherwise is to go back to .55 and root again, and then upgrade again?

Thanks, RockStar, but which one? There are no fewer than 5 with the exact title "auto call recorder" on the first page alone. If you would please go to the Google Play Market (using a browser, not the app), then under the "my android apps" tab, at the bottom half of the page under "other apps in my library" it lists ALPHABETICALLY any app you've ever downloaded so if you just use the arrows or the page "square dots there, you can quickly find the "auto call recorder" you downloaded.
