hey mates !

just wanna ask something ..

i'm currently using "ultimate sola v2"

i have 2 problems now ..(not regarding to my rom)

i delete my firmware back up after installling ultimate sola is there a way to revert back my stock rom if i want to ? and how ?

Download the ftf file and flash via flashtool
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hotplainrice:
This is the result from the latest GB.

It's interesting how the ICS ROMs score higher when I feel GB feels significantly smoother than 2 stock ICS ROMs I've tested.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] randomchars:
I don't think it's interesting at all. Benchmarks are totally irrelevant for day to day usage. Not to mention the user errors that almost always occur when performing one.

Oh and please get your vocabulary right. GB is anything but smooth; it has stuttering issues. It is however more responsive.

---------- Post added at 12:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:07 AM ----------

I know most of here answered your query,but also keep in mind to download and flash ftf firmware file for your region/country only,otherwise there may be issues regarding your phone's warranty.

P.S If there is no ftf available for your country,just repair it using SEUS or Sony PC companion,ONLY if you have locked bootloader,thus you will revert back to your stock firmware.

Hope this helps.:)

New Sola owner^^ Network Problemㅠㅠ

Hi I'm not new the forum, but new to the Sola. Just bought it a week ago because of price and it made "good" compromises that I can live with for the $$$$. I upgraded to the latest ICS using PC companion and most everything is working great! ticked. Except it's not connecting to network for data, I've got wifi at work and home so it's not a huge problem, but I'd like to be able to use the meager 500mb on my data plan each month.

I've enabled data and is in WCDMA mode (I'm in Korea). And I've selected my service provider (SKT) and registered on that network. Calls and sms messages work, but connecting to the internet doesn't. If anyone can recommend things to check or just point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance

CHEERS!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Anthrax:
just an initial step........

First try to check if you have the settings for data downloaded to your fone.......
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Nooblar:
hmm...that sounds like excellent advice...

Now by "setting" do you mean settings->wireless & networks->more->mobile networks->service providers

OR

Setting given to me by my service provider that I need to install. I did receive 3 texts from my provider, but erased (they were in Korean...I don't know Korean) them when I updated to ICS. Hoiwever, I can contact my provider next week and hopefully activated..

Have you tried the Mujeni CWM V5 kernel as mentioned in the 3rd post of the Ultimate Sola/Pure Blood thread.

I used Pureblood for a while and installed just fine with the kernel mentioned in the thread.

Plain rooting my GB, nothing else.

Hi Guys,

Believe me I've been reading for hours, not only this thread but many others also. I'm quite confused, so this is what I want to achive:

-I want to plain root my Sola and keep GingerBread, just as simple as that.

I'm not interested in modded firmwares, nor Cyanogen, nor beta-testing. I just need to be able to run programs that require root, such as Titanium, a firewall, and the like.

What I have been reading so far indicates that I have to

unlock the bootloader

(no idea what this means but the instructions seem quite precise and straightforward). Let's suppose I success on this, now the rooting part is what isn't clear to me. Sorry, I come from a Samsung and all this seemed to be easier in that world :crying:

What I have is an untouched stock 6.0.B.3.184 firmware and I'd like to keep as close to it as possible; eventually upgrading it but not to the extent of crossing to ICS.

I'm not asking for anyone to retype anything, just a comprehensive direct link to achive this (because with so many threads is very difficult to follow a line)

Thanks in advance!

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ianjay06:
I Agree... ICS is a good firmware .... but also you must try custom rom.. i tried Pureblood rom .. so far im amazed with this rom...

GB is so complicated to root. and also UI is so boring.

you know what i mean ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] speed&vodka:
Still wanting to root Gingerbread

Thanks, but no. I've read enough statements about ICS draining your battery faster. Also, as a much newer OS it's likely to need more processing power, and I want this power to be spared for the apps as much as possible, not consumed by the fancy OS. I don't give a damn on animated wallpapers or having the latest-of-the-latest if there's no practical benefit.

I've found this link:

[KERNEL][Xperia Sola] Advanced Stock Kernel [Rel:v01][Dt:03/JUNE]

If I unlock the bootloader and then apply this kernel, that would be all to do to get root access?

That kernel is for a previous GB version also, what problems will I have by loading an older version kernel in my newer stock?

Thanks in advance.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] lalit387:
First one is an Add on pack for CM

Second is stock based support oc kernel very impressive though and worth a try.

Third is FXP CM based bare one

Forth also a FXP CM based for locked bootloader

Try and decide

I would recommend to have try to miui rom which is also CM based

Another one is pulaks pureblood and fluidity both stock based very good rom too.

Simply if you like hate lag and dont care of NFC, A2dp,FM etc go for CM based rom otherwise Stock.

But you have try at your own and adopt as per your taste.

You can flash a kernel in fastboot mode :

Note: make a backup of your phone using CWM or any kind of recovery !!

1) to enter fastboot mode

power of your device and connect it to the computer while holding the volume up button

2) open flashtool and select flashmode a popup window will appear select the kernel you have downloaded and click Ok

It will now flash the kernel to your phone

3) reboot your phone to recovery mode

wipe dalvik cache

reboot to system and have fun !!

All the best !!

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] adrian816:
Have you checked how much free memory these apps need on a device with bloatware / a lot of system services.

According to Sony the sola has 512MB of RAM ( http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/products/phones/xperia-sola/specifications/ ), elixir diagnostics app and antutu benchmark both show total = 368.1MB on mine (supplied by Sony with gingerbread 2.3.7) You're getting 389MB RAM, are you running ICS? Another possibility is that the games need a specific kernel option which isn't in the stock kernel.
