Do one thing you want flash the camera.

instead of that Reinstall the cwm First..

and then proceed..

U can use utility and adb for flashing the mods also,

it would read ur internal storage, check if u can access that on the pc..as it should be readable.

I've just flashed the stock kernel via flashtool...

so drivers are installed!

Another question:

if I want to install the cm10, can I do it with stock kernel (build .96) and cwm 6.0.2.7 or do I need custom kernel to install cm10?

I've red that I've to have a custom kernel to flash boot.img.. is it so?

PS: sorry for my bad english :(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ADDICT.ANK:
You'll need the custom kernel for that extract the boot.img from the.zip file and flash it right after the rom flashing.

u can try the latest stock kernel u mentioned and see does that starts working or ends up in a bootloop

If it bootloops then flash the boot.img from cm rom..

so go ahead and enjoy the flashing..

and post here.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Thecapa97:
Done!

I had a bootlooper but I wiped factory data and now I'm running the ROM!

Now I can try other kernels compatible with cm10, can't I?

I think I try nova kernel :))

How to get back to stock 6.2.B.1.96 on Acro s from CM10?

Hello All

unfortunately I have to switch back to the stock 6.2.B.1.96 on my LT26W, but when I try to run the recovery in CWM it stops with an error.

Is it right if I take the file Xperia Acro S_6.2.B.1.96_NORDIC.ftf (787MB) and try to flash it to the phone? Will that take me back to stock ROM?

Thanks a lot
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ADDICT.ANK:
Yes thats gud but use flashtool for flashing.

Also for cwm pls reinstall cwm

Just one home screen

Hi! I'm new here. I have a Sony Xperia S, and just flashed the Xperia Nexus 4 ROM (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2172872).

Thing is, now there's just one home screen available on the launcher, and I can't add more. If I install another launcher (such as Nova, Apex, Honami Launcher) the problem persists. The option for adding more homescreens is disabled or doesn't exist. Swiping a widget or icon to the sides doesn't work.

Can I fix this, keeping the ROM? I don't want to change ROM, I like this one very much.

Sorry for my bad english! Thx!

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hmillos:
Hello guys, I'm kinda new here with a XPERIA S cellphone, current build number is 6.2.B.0.200 everything is stock. I've been reading the forums and there's a lot of guides for rooting, unlocking bootloader (I know the meaning o these words) BUT what I didn't understand was that .45, .55 firmware thing, I used flashtool to see cellphone information and I dont see any .55 o .45 information :confused:

First thing I want to do is root the cellphone, then I want to install CWM, for what I've read unlocked bootloader isn't necessary, is it? but I think unlocking it will make things easier for testing ROMs and kernel from development section.

That's all guys, thank you very much :victory:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] AnrgKrshn:
.45 and .55 are ICS builds. Don't mind them. You should flash the .96 jb firmware which has a lot of bug fixes and a newer kernel. I do recommended just unlocking your boot loader, cause kit Kat is on its way, and I'm sure you'll want a piece of that action.

But unlocking boot loader breaks bravia engine. And might wipe your SD card. So be sure to backup your stuff.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ADDICT.ANK:
use doomlord's rootkit for rooting.

and .45 .55 are ics firmware basically it's the last digits of the firmware..

and make a backup first pls

---------- Post added at 01:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:12 AM ----------

u can use doomkernel or check the kernel index there are a lot of kernels supporting cm 10

check them out

and post here..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hmillos:
Thanks both of You for your quick answers

Do I need a factory reset for updating to .96 ?

yeah when I unlocked my nexus 4 bootloader it wiped everything also :(

What's the best way of making a full backup? (I used to nandroid backup in CWM)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] AnrgKrshn:
You don't need to, but doing a clean install will ensure that its bug free for the most part.

And nandroid is the way to go. But I think he meant backup your SD card.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Dev.7:
[MENTION=4270348]hmillos[/MENTION] No need to backup the SD card,unlocking the boot loader of XS will not wipe SD card but will surely wipe your system +data.

So just may a backup of your apps+data only.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ADDICT.ANK:
What's the best way of making a full backup? (I used to nandroid backup in CWM)[/QUOTE]

Factory reset is not necessary, in case u want to keep ur data

but for all the features and fixes to work correctly and using the interface...it's better that u do.

so use flashtools flash the .96 firmware and backup using cwm.

And for the sd card backup or internal storage just copy it to the pc before the flash..

U CAN USE ES FILE EXPLORER FOR BACKING UP APK'S

AND

TITANIUM BACKUP FOR DATA OF APK'S ALSO.

I have just flashed Trinity Vengeance RaptorXL™ HD^2 4.1 and I was wondering if it is possible to remove the swipe to unlock screen whilst KEEPING the Pin unlock screen.

At the minute I have to swipe to unlock, then enter the pin. Before I flashed this new ROM when I pressed the power button all I had to do was enter the pin without having to swipe to unlock. I've checked all the settings and can't find anything. Is there any hacks/system files I can modify to disable the swipe to unlock screen without having to disable the pin security screen as well?

Thanks
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Thecapa97:
mmh but wasn't the DoomKernel only for stock ROM?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] AnrgKrshn:
Yeah, it is. No custom kernels for cm10. There is one for 10.1 by someone755. Potato or something. Try flashing it and flashing opensemc u. I'm on it right now and its really stable.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Thecapa97:
Thanks! So I've to flash cm10.1... I'll see what to do
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] AnrgKrshn:
All the Dev for 4.1 apart from stock based ROMs is really old. If you want stable 4.1 you can try PAC v19. But like I said it's really old. You can also try 4.3. It's in alpha 2. Smash thanks, don't post thanks :P

---------- Post added at 04:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:02 PM ----------

Try disabling and re enabling it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] FloppySock:
I have tried this and also tried changing many of the other settings but nothing seems to work. It's not a major issue, just slightly annoying that I have to swipe to unlock then enter my pin afterwards. Don't see why it doesn't go to the pin screen straight away.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] AnrgKrshn:
I just read through the thread and I'm sure you would have seen it if you'd read through it too, but it's a known bug with the ROM and since it's just been uploaded, it's highly unlikely anyone has found a workaround. Monitor the trinity thread though, and if a workaround or fix comes up, you'll find it there.

sony xperia ion LT28at at&t unlock needed

Hi, I have a question. I have a sony xperia ion LT28at that I purchased in 2012 from at&t. I paid full price for it and did not link it to a contract. I've been trying to sell it and no luck. Now I am trying to unlock it and at&t is telling me it is not eligible to be unlocked. I contacted Sony as well and they told me there is nothing they can do as well that we need to go through at&t. This phone is completely new, never used and is legally able to be unlocked but I cant find a way to do it.

I looked up online a service that I can pay to unlock this phone. They told me to use the following code to find out whether or not my phone is hard locked: *#*#7378423#*#*

When I did enter the code I listed above this is what my phone displayed:

[x] Network 0

[ ] Network Subset 10

[ ] Service Provider 10

[ ] Corporate 10

[ ] Sim 0

I was told if there is a number 0 besides network that means it is in fact a hard locked phone.

Also phone displayed the following:

Rooting status: Bootloader unlock allowed: no

So the bootloader is locked as well.

If anyone has any ideas or what my options are to try to unlock this phone, please let me know! Thank you in advance!

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
Copy the SystemUI file you downloaded to your phone. With a file explorer with root permissions (Root explorer is the best, is paid, but worth it, or you find it on internet), copy the file to /system. Don't forget to make sure the button on the top says "Mount R/O".

After you pasted it there, press and hold on the file, and choose Set permissions. On the screen that appeared for you, make it stay like this:

XX-

X--

X--

Where X is marked and - not. Let the other things alone and save. Now, move the file to the /system/app folder, and paste there. Choose to replace the other file. Done that, search for SystemUI.odex and delete it.

Now reboot your phone and be happy.

Acro S newb questions re: ROM flash...

I just picked up a used Acro S and I'd like to flash it with deedwar's PA3.99-RC2 (I don't like the factory JB 4.1.2 - its behavior seems inconsistent - and I want to try something different).

I've spent *hours* searching and reading through various posts and guides on how to do this properly but lots of the info seems out-of-date and I'm still very confused and worried that I'll brick my phone. I've flashed at least 2,500 motherboard and laptop BIOS's over the past 17 or 18 years and never bricked one yet so I'm comfortable following complex instructions but I don't know *which* instructions to follow! Can anyone point to a particular guide, tutorial, how-to or thread that might be more accurate than others?

FYI, my phone is unlocked (according the the IMEI) and and has been updated to 6.2.B.1.96 (the first thing I did). It has never been modded in any way that I know of. I have Linux and XP on my pc but I can install Win7 if need be...

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! I don't want to have to give up and get a used Nexus 4 (the max I can afford) because I need the water-and-dust repellency of the Acro S for work...

Acro S Battery issue

Hi

My phone's battery has stuck in 1%!When I connect the charger,the battery level doesn't increase.And it doesn't get empty neither.

I have tried PC Companion repair and Factory data reset but they didn't work.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Dev.7:
I guess your battery indicator is stuck at 1% for some reason.

Its not possible that your phone will work on 1% for the entire life.

Try draining the battery and then put it for charging .

If it still on 1% charge it for 2-3 hours and then try calibrating it via battery calibration from the store.

Hi i know there are threads on this and ive read countless ones. i installed BlackZax'7 [The Next Level Begin] on my LT28AT running LT28H LT28h_6.2.B.0.211. everything was working fine after first reboot. call texts 4g lte everything was perfect i was extremely satisfied. then restarted once all my apps were downloaded and went to put cwm recover on it and boom i got bootloop.

Naturally i headed to the forums here on XDA to follow the tutorial to recover from bricked state. what happened was i got bootloop and held Power and Volume + to reset to go to download mode, felt 3 vibrations which from my understanding was a hard reset. i followed the tutorial which said to leave it plugged in until solid red light turns green. well when i plug it in i get the solid red light however no green led. every once and a while ill see the sony logo and starts to bootloop. held volume down to try to get to download mode but refuses to do soo........

after a while bootloop stops and goes to solid red led.....and repeats the same process after a while.

what do i do ive searched forums and some have said to take the battery out however unfortunately i dont own the right tool to get the plating off after the cover.

what should i do its my only phone.......
