Xperia GO questions

Hi guys,

I want to root an Xperia GO ST27i without unlocking bootloader.

I'm quite confused, I read some threads under Android Development section..but I didn't understand what I have to do.

I found this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1886460 , and as I understand that tool could root Xperia GO phone without unlocking bootloader (I don't see that requirement).

1) That tool will root Xperia GO without bootloader unlocked?

2) After I root the phone, could I install cwm recovery? How?

3) If I will want to remove root, will I able to do it with that tool?

Thank u

I use a GS2, I quite know well how to root/unroot, cwm things..but Xperia world is new for me.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Anthrax:
1) yes it will root and wont unlock your BL....

2) you can install CWM for Locked BL (search in DEV section for XGO)

3) for unroot just flash stock back again....... and you will be unrooted......
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Jigen90:
Thank u!

Let me understand: can I flash the phone, with a locked bootloader, with flashtool?

As I understand, flashtool will flash on locked bootloader phones, only original roms. Am I right?

2) If I will install cwm, will I be able to install a different ROM or locked bootlader won't let me install a different system?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Anthrax:
flashtool allows to flash stock firmware whether its Locked BL or unlocked BL.........

yes you can install custom ROMs but which are meant for locked bootloader only.....

need help, can sum 1 give me link for xperia go usb driver?i try to root, but no luck to do it
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Anthrax:

and what driver do you need??????

if you have flashtool the go to flahtool folder and to drivers there you will get the drivers.exe install it and check for XGO driver......

I'm currently on CM9. If I flash the .54 ftf, will it flash the ROM and the kernel?

Also, can I flash my sola with this?: http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/1...re-on-your-bootloader-unlocked-xperia-device/
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] akp.ajinkya:
I recently flashed a CM9 based rom on my Xperia Sola,but after flashing its touchscreen stopped working,don't know why:confused:?I tried flashing .54 ftf via flashtool,it installed perfectly but it didn't make touchscreen respond.Then i tried it repairing through SUS but to no avail.Does anybody here know what would've gone wrong because i haven't flashed any custom kernel on it(yep locked bootloader) and i don't think that a rom can damage hardware(i know 'cause i have been porting CM9 based roms on my sola and they worked perfectly without any flaw).Is it the calibration problem or something?Don't know what i should do now.....

(Don't know why i went with Sony even when i knew deep in my heart that i would regret:p)

---------- Post added at 02:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:25 AM ----------

Yes .54 ftf will flash the stock rom and kernel....about 2nd query it is an official flashtool for xperia devices with unlocked bootloader..but its only in development phase so only few phones are supported...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] akp.ajinkya:
I found the solution and its simple as a pea.....

Just flash the stock gingerbread via flashtool and there you go....touchscreen's functionality RESTORED.I guess i was correct about the wrong driver lurking in some partition...

Hello. Is there a chance to bypass the irritating bluetooth Accept/Deny dialog on each time a file is sent from paired device?

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] WilsonML5:
I'm on CM9, how do I flash stock via flashtool?

Is it just by opening flashtool, flashmode, select firmware, flash? Don't I have to do anything else?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] akp.ajinkya:
Open flashtool,switch off your phone.

Then while connecting USB cable to phone,hold volume up.press harry potter's sign,make sure its flashmode,then select stock ftf firmware file.wait for sometime until flashtool loads required files from ftf.Then after a dialog pops up saying unplug the device etc...disconnect USB cable from phone,then again while connecting hold vol down button,flashtool starts flashing the firmware on your phone.DO NOT disconnect while it is still flashing.After flashing completes,disconnect the phone.The firmware is installed on the phone.

And there's nothing else need to be done.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] WilsonML5:
Wait, volume up or volume down? You said both.

Hahahahahaha, harry potter's sign.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] akp.ajinkya:
After loading flashtool,while connecting phone,hold vol.up(until led glows bue/violet)->select firmware->after popup msg box saying disconnect phone etc...->unplug phone->

connect USB while holding vol. down(until led glows green)->wait for installation to complete.

P.S you should've both flasboot and fastboot drivers installed prior to flashing via flashtool

Hope this helps:).

Review of Xperia Sola [ROM][ICS][14/11] PURE BLOOD ROM v1.0

Dear Admins,

as I'm new to the forum I don't have the permissions to post in the developers section of Xperia Sola at thread

[ROM][ICS][14/11] PURE BLOOD ROM v1.0 - The Ultimate Stock Xperience

So mabe you could move my review to the right thread to support the developer.

thx.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I just want to give you my experiences with PURE BLOOD ROM v1.0

Installing:

- For Basis instead of "stock ROM 6.1.1.B.10 India" I used "MT27i_6.1.1.B.1.10_Global.ftf" Stock ROM

- works fine for me with pulak861's instuctions (post #1) via "CWM recovery By munjeni V5"

Startup:

- After several restarts the system seemd stable and runed like boosted.

- first problem: the phones sd-cards were not detected anymore on windows

- I fixed it by checking "Settings -> Xperia -> Connectivity -> USB connection mode: Media transfer mode(MTP)"

- second problem: i got gsm connection but no UMTS

- I fixed it by manually entering my APN-Settings "Settings -> More -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names -> New APN -> Search Google for you APN Settings, enter, -> Save"

- to go faster I used the "Instant Speed Improvement to ICS" from this thread by limiting background processes to 2

Conclusion:

- After three days the system seems to be stable at all

- activating and using camera is faster than in Stock ROM

- AntuTu-Benchmark says: 5.750 Points

- with Stock ROM I had: 5.550 Points

- over all less hangs and freezes then in StockROM

- Battery drains faster than in StockRom (last view: 8 hours duration at 10% battery load)

- for this time I will stay at PURE BLOOD ROM, seeing what V2 brings

So for me it's the best ROM so far - fast and stable close to the stock.

hi! i am a total noob here. i jus flashed a miui rom for locked bootloader (Xperia U) and before that i DID NOT do a nandroid backup of my stock ics 6.1.1.b.1.10.

After flashing the miui rom successfully i realise my phone is not able to connect to the mass storage when i wanted to transfer files from my pc to the phone. Thus, i wanted to flash back to stock ics. I went to PCC and they cannot even detect my phone and at SUS, it says i have the latest firmware, so its not possible to flash back to stock.

The other way i found out to do that was through flashtool, but as of now i cannot find the stock ics file specific to my country, Singapore. (SI-1261-4527)

thus, is there any help where i can renable the mass storage or have the stock ics for my country?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ronald_sugar7:
something like that happened to me, but I bought the st27a, since it was GB I installed the ICS but didnt realized that it was for the st27i, 3g didnt worked at all, i took my phone to telcel (my carrier company) and they did something idk what but i was able to keep the st27i ISC rom but now I want to go back to GB and cant find a st27a stock rom for my region only for UA and RUS and im in mexico so thats my prob
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] neectron:
I think when you run .bat,whole rom will be installed.Better way is install stock ftf,then install CWM for locked bootloader then the xICS ROM.

I don't know about massstorage but you can try this stock ftf http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1918920.Might have language you need.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] WayOfLife!:
mass storage is now workin, still on miui though. Jus need pcc to work so that i can restore my .dbk files.

Or is there anyway i can restore my backups (.dbk) without PCC?

I w2as trying to install this red theme to my New phone my dad gifted to me:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1755168

Okay, so I downloaded the theme, and using root explorer I moved into the above said folder.

I checked the permissions.

I rebooted.

and Now It does not starts back again. Only the notification led Flashes red and stays off.

When did I went so wrong?

Xperia U on ICS, rooted.

Is there a way to acces a reboot factory like in my old Milestone?

Please, help me obi wan kenobi. (?)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] neectron:
That theme is for GB.Not for ICS.

Are you sure phone is not booting?Did you do anything else?Because theme file shouldn't affect booting.

Try holding power button and - volume button until 3-4 vibrations.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] JBantha:
Thanks for the quick replay.

I did change the name of the theme file to "PinkyTheme" as recommended here instead of deleting the old file, but I was using the blue theme.

Is it for GB?! I feel so dumb now.

Anyway, i went and tried to hold "power button and - volume button until 3-4 vibrations" but I can hold it for up to 3 minutes and only vibrate once on it's own, OR it stays lit (and does not vibrates) when plugged to the AC charger.

Also I noticed that when doing that with the - volume the xperia bar flashes green, and with the + volume flashes blue.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] neectron:
Even though it was for GB,it shouldn't have caused booting problem.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] JBantha:
I thought so...

I'll try to flash it back to GB, but the pc does not recognize the gadget. any help on that]?

hey, i have a big problem that comes out with every rom i install on my xperia U. Well, i don't know how (i have rooted the phone and unlocked bootloader) i use no frills CPU and automatically the phone literally "shoot" my dual-core to 1000 mhz min and 1000 mhz max, and within 5 minutes the phone lags and is unusable. I tried to make profiles that reduced my frequencies to 200 min and 800 max but nothing. The system is headstrong.... please help me!! Waiting for someone's answer
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] TheAgent:
Sorry if this has been asked already in this thread (99 pages is a lot to go through and yes ive used the search function so bear with me), but im trying to find out how to root my xpeira P, im not new to the unlocking scene, but damn, ive never seen so much "all over the place" instructions for unlocking a device before.

Almost every tutorial points me to a xperia S, or Z or something else that isnt P related. this wouldn't be too bad in its self had the tutorials actually explained and made me feel safe that what you can do with an S you can also do with the P, but they do not. and bricking my phone on the first go is not something i wish to achive.

Never in the history of trying to unlock a device have i felt well, dumbfounded with it all, when i made my Pandora battery for my psp, and also jailbroke my army if i devices, it was simple clear instructions, so far i am yet to find one page that does everything you need, to unlock the SX P, its all a jumbled mess and i end up with about 15 pages open relating to other devices, all linked from a supposed tutorial, even one of the stickly links, links to sonys website, about unlocking the bootloader, but then i hit a stumbling block having put in the invincibility code, where it states "bootloader unlock allowed: NO" with no clear instructions on what to do next. Then its all "read this" and "read that" and "make sure you have read this" and all links point to other devices other than the Sony Xpeira P.

SO, has anyone got or knows a link too, or can type a tutorial that just lists, what files i need, and how to go about it. thats all im asking for. if i can figure this out, ill no doubt write my own tutorial with everything on clear noob like instructions, will all files needed in the one thread.

Hello people, i just bought this awesome xperia U and it came with GB.

I already have downloaded flashtools, installed drivers and i want to go to ICS.

My question is:

am i fine downloading just this one "ST25i_1254-3522_ 6.1.1.B.1.10 GENERIC - user_Sony" and i'm ready to go?

I'm just not interested in rooting so far, i'm just a noob and i want to go step by step, is there a chance i can root the phone later?
