---------- Post added at 02:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:27 PM ----------

Firstly, is your bootloader unlocked? If not? Just hook it up to the PCC and update. Shouldn't lose data, afaik.

If unlocked? Flash the ftf and uncheck wipe data. Even if it's locked, you can just do this. There's a thread with the ftf.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] waveboy:
Yes my boot loader is unlocked. So it doesn't matter that I have a custom recovery (cwm) ?

What's a ftf?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] AnrgKrshn:
I don't think it should be a problem. Only thing is, you'll lose the recovery and root. However, to be on the safe side, unroot it.

An ftf is a flash tool file. Can only be flashed with flashtool
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] waveboy:
Thank you so much! I'll unroot it and update using the PC companion. Before doing that I'll make a nandroid and backup the sdcard too. That should be enough I think

I was just worried that the custom recovery would interfere with the update and brick the phone.

Hello, i have installed Rayman FX CM 11 for Xperia S and a very usefull to me app, CamScanner doesnt work. It boots and after you take a photo, screen goes black and app crashes. This app worked on stock and many 4.2.2 custom ROMs(RaymanFXs included). May anyone knows something??

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mnashfaq:
Yes, you can use flash tool to flash the jb rom, and just flashing a rom does not relock your boot loader.. If you plan on relocking your bootloader check this thread by doomlord..

Help Me PLEASE XPERIA S

Please help me, look, I'll explain my situation, I have an XPERIA S LT26, I bought locked to a carrier, or at least that's what I though. My deviced stopped getting software upgrades from Sony, so I though, cyanogenmod, why not? So I started searching for info and stuff, I realized that my bootloader was locked and with: "Unlocked Allowed: No", so Sony told me that I had to unlocked the phone with the SIMLOCK code, so I get the code, and when trying to input it with a friends microSim, supposedly "not acceptable", the phone started normally and never asked my for the code... and it was completly functionable! I was able to call with he's microSim and everything, for some reason the 3G for the internet didn't worked... I don't know what to do, in the service menu of my device it appears the "X" on Network and then a 5, on everything else there's no X and there's some 0...So i guess this means is still locked? But as I told you the phone worked great with another sim...

PLEASE HELP I NEED TO UNLOCK BOOTLOADER, INSTALL CYANOGENMOD IS MY DREAM....
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
There's currently no way to change the possibility to unlock your bootloader.

Though, what you can do is install CyanogenMod 10 using this method:

If you're on an unlocked bootloader, best way is to use a flash tool. Emma is fine. Or you can use Bin4ry's flash tool too. You can't use PCC or seus with an unlocked bootloader.

Hey guys, I have a quick question. Can anyone modify Sony's framework to enable the drag down for notification bar in immersed mode like in kitkat? I'm guessing it's possible cause Samsung implemented it in their framework since ics. Maybe we can find the appropriate code from the framework for CM11 and inject it into our framework? Not sure how it works, so just asking here.

there is a problem with all acro s - S - SL devices in syria ... when you insert the syrian sim card you cant use the wifi

i saw some solutions

1- install market enabler and change the sim code but its too slow and the internet keep lagging

2- change the system/bin/wpa_supplicant file with the one from a thread in xda .. its a good solution but everytime i move from wifi network to another the settings page and the wifi turn off

3- wifix app does not work

i think this problem just in syria,sudan and iran

i want to know if there is a rom can solve this or not .. and i dont want to downgrade to ICS

thanks :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] genecis:
You need an unlocked bootloader as it is not a stock based ROM. Doing so will do a factory reset (sdcard files wont be erased) and you will also lose the bravia engine.

Since you are already rooted you can use TB to backup your important apps+data.

Feel free to PM me if you want more elaborate instructions :)

P.S. The ROM you are interested in is abandoned by the devs so I would suggest another one like letama's or rayman's

Backup stock ROM

Hi!

I just got my Xperia U, and would like to backup the stock (carrier-customized) ROM, so I can reinstall it if I ever need to use the warranty. I came across this thread, but don't know if I can (or how to) reflash the dumped files produced by this method, and if the dumped ROM will be rooted. Can anyone help?

I have a problem:

I would like to partition the sd to ext4 + swap partition and then move programs with link2sd (and delete those that do not use pre-installed).

I formatted the sd via pc (fat32) then I went into cwm and I tried to do the partition (having a 4gb sd, I have actually values​​: swap 128 and partition ext4 1024), however, tells me "an error occurred please etc. .. . "

Why is that?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] aca89:
You can google mini tool partition, it can create ext partitions from windows. It will save you a lot of time trust me.

with a custom rom which file system should I use? ext2? ext4?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] aca89:
That should be your choice. Some say that ext3/ext4 is shortening the life of sdcard cause it uses journaling but that's a minor thing. Personally I use ext2 and have no problems. Here's a link for you :)

Guys, I lowered the max speed that the processor can go to 1242 Mhz, but the second core (cpu1) is being kept online all the time, while with the stock speed, except for when opening apps, it would stay offline.

3) with the original ROM known to have many services / apps that do not use leading to waste of battery. You know advise me a rom mod to be leaner?

4) I read a script (I do not remember the name!) That handles better ram and processes, it is worth to install it? Or is it better to go directly to a modded rom?

5) If I wanted to switch to a modded rom tell me the preliminary steps that must be done? A simple backup with titanium or need to do anything else?

thanks
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
1) I used it for a while, but it did nothing to me. Only placebo effect.

2) Read above.

3) I think Dual Core ROM is good for that. But you can remove the apps you don't use that causes this with the stock Rom, only needing root.

4) It's called SuperCharger. Yeah, it's really good. Don't trust any benchmarks after and before, but it is really better after long usages. I also been using the scripts from PimpMyROM, they really make my phone fly.

4) A backup with CWM is also important.

"What really matters in this world, anyway?"
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Saetta88:

thanks I inform better about

- ok, I'll back up with cwm, but then that backup where is it? on sd?

Why after I backup with cwm, I would like to save the backup file on the PC so I'll know if I'll make a mess to back up safely.

Sony xperia s missing data

Hi all,

For a while now my internal memory gave an odd number of free space left. Somehow I got less free space than I actually had left, and there was some memory gone without being used for visible files. However I just recorded a 25 minute video (full HD) and when I decided to stop the video, camera froze. Going to my folders I could not find the video, but when I access my internal memory its completely full! (I started filming with 4 GB of free space so thats about right). My question is: what happened to the data? Can I recover it? I cannot find the file anywhere but my internal memory shows that it is occupying storage space! I think this is also the reason I have more 'non used' memory that is somehow used. Is there any way I can recover the video/format my internal memory so that I will have the full space again without phantom files?

I'm Dutch so if you have any extra questions because the grammar/sentence build-up was not correct please be my guest :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] AnrgKrshn:
Perfect grammar man :)

However, could you mention the ROM and model? Cause I had this problem on my XS on trinity, and around 4 to 5 GB was missing. Couldn't access it anywhere. On the phone or PC. Turns out, the system used it. Switching to another ROM fixed it. Also, I cleaned up the LOST folder and moved some pictures to clear up some space. And never had that problem again. Delete any unused backups.

That's what helped for me.

Hi, I could use some help as I'm very much in the noob camp!

I've just got a Xperia S, having previously only been an iPhone user. I'm very happy with the phone itself, but I'd like to install a new ROM rather than the stock one that came with it.

As helpful as this site is, I'm finding it really difficult to get clear instructions on how to do this. My phone is already rooted, and I was looking at flashing it with an AOKPA or CM ROM. I'm using a mac, though (I have no access to a PC, nor a copy of windows to use bootcamp, VMWare Fusion or whatever), which obviously makes things a little more difficult.

Now, I have managed to install the latest Android SDK on my mac, and I've also managed to install the adb and fast boot tools so I can run them from my command line window. I know this is working because - for example - when I run the command 'adb devices' with the phone connected, it returns the serial number of my phone.

So, to flash my phone, do I only need to back up my existing data, download the ROM I want to use, and then flash it using fastboot? Am I missing anything?

I intend to use Titanium Backup to backup all my existing data, by the way.

Does anyone have any further advice or assistance for me?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide! :good:

Dear Sir,

I am having Sony Xperia S (LT26i) running Jelly Bean 4.1.2 not Rooted Build Number 6.2.B.1.96, it was running ok and still it's all features are working fine only problem I am facing is some days later I configured built-in McAfee that comes with Xperia and after that some days later I installed Game Killer (who actually didn't performed well cause my phone was not rooted) but after that I am facing these problems...

1- While playing any game (Candy Crush Saga, Find the Objects) the loading screen appears and disappears which is very irritating and had not faced this kind of problem before McAfee and Game Killer, for Candy Crush Saga orange screen KING written on it comes and go without a fixed interval I hope you will get my point.

This was irritating so I done a Factory Reset and after that I again configured McAfee and this time no Game killer stuff, now games are working fine but when ever I open Gallary, the same thing happens in Gallary while opening a picture the picture will adjust first then without having fix intervals it reload it self (which I had never faced earlier), even all pictures thumbnails in gallary reload their selves.

Guys I need help I don't know if some kind of virus is doing all this or blah blah...

I am not a very professional user of Android.

If the problem can't be solved please guide me that a root will work for it and what root I must obtain for Sony Xperia S (Jelly Bean or KitKat) with no bugs.
