CWM is an android custom recovery.It has many advantages such as factory resetting your phone,making and restoring backup,CWM is needed to install customs mods and roms.There are more,I have covered just the surface of its advantages :).

You can install CWM using two ways:

Using a kernel that has CWM recovery in-built.

Installing it from a standalone installer on stock rom.

I assume you have locked bootloader,so you can find CWM installer for stock kernel from HERE in the recoveries section.

Yes,you can now calibrate your battery by following the steps given in the previous post.

If you have unlocked bootloader,you can only install official kernel only.

If you want to use custom roms e.g cyanogenmod that use custom/modified kernels then you need to have your bootloader unlocked.By unlocking your bootloader,you can access fastboot mode required to install kernels.But,be careful if you unlock your bootloader,you lose your warranty.There is a patch that relock your bootloader,but i can't confirm that you can revoke your warranty after unlock-relock because there are many service centers that check the presence of DRM keys(which are lost forever when you unlock the bootloader).So if you are OK with that you can unlock your bootloader.

Hope this helps

The steps given in the thread are 100% correct.The black screen issue is there.You can try restarting,if it doesn't help then follow these steps.

1.Switch ON USB debugging.

2.Flash .10 kernel,if the home screen and icons go black do not fret.

3.Root using flashtool.

4.When it says root using rootexploit and you have 60 seconds or something etc..it opens the backup and restore app on your phone,then just do a quick guess for selecting root.me bakup in the backup section and press restore.The phone will restart 2-3 times.Let it.

5.After everything is finished and flashtool says root access allowed then switch off your phone and flash .54 kernel on it and there you go,you have successfully rooted your phone.

You can use the kernel files given in the thread.

Hope this helps.

sola, mt27 vs mt27i?

sola, what is different between mt27 vs mt27i?

my phone is mt27i,

and there are lots of stock roms, like world, india...

can I flash any of them?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] arifeen:
Thanks a lot. Root done. Is their any script or method for speed up or better performance?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] akp.ajinkya:
Yes.there are.You can find some of them HERE.

But you should better use roms from Min3r,pulak or thunderising...they are great stock rom modifiers..and their roms are full of scripts that make rom fast and lag free...

---------- Post added at 10:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:58 PM ----------

They are d same...you can go for any of the rom/firmware...

If we unlock bootloader and then relock it ,what happens to our warranty?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Anthrax:
Its something related to DRM keys which are deleted when you first unlock your bootloader and even if you lock it then also you wont get these DRM keys back they are lost for ever...... and when you give your fone to service center for any reason they check these to see whether you have done any modifications or not..... and hence it can losse your warranty......

(I don't have in depth knowledge related to this but i guess this is the whole scenario)......

Correct me if I am wrong......

---------- Post added at 12:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:10 AM ----------

can i flash mods in xperia sola cm9 ?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Mufrad:
I dont think is there is a option of uninstalling roms... you can wipe data/factory reset in recovery then flash some other rom or you can flash stock roms using flashtool.

and you will find list of supported roms and phones in all the mod pages, you have to check there or you can ask the developer of the mod.

hope i helped :)

you can find all xperia stock roms here: uploaded.net/f/bd4cif

and for custom roms you can use the search option.

X-Go Downgrade .54 to .10 [firmware/kernel needed]

Helo everyone, i am noob and very very noob. here the story

I just bought X-Go few days ago.. i already upgraded it using Sony Companion to 6.1.1.b.1.54 ics 4.0.4

Oh yes it's lagging and i'm tired of this.. Well i try to root. i google a lot. it brought me to xda. Try root using root with restore v18 by Bin4ry. Follow guide step by step from youtube video.

But still not success. after a few research.. ahh i need to downgrade the firmware/kernel. I already download the flashtool installer, now left is the firmware/kernel. anyone can help me to provide a link and proper step for downgrading. Thank You

Hello, I am really dumb.. I accidently formatted my SD card in CWM recovery, restarted the phone and now its stuck on the Sony logo. I applied a Custom ROM on it too. This is for the Xperia P btw. Am I ****ed?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kyzn:
I have decided to finally install a custom ROM on my phone.

So my question is on a phone with a locked BL why do you need to do data wipe when installing custom ROMs (the ones for all BLs of course)? Wouldn't that effectively reset your phone to factory removing root and CWM?

Some ROMs say do factory wipe, others don't...:confused:

I can understand doing complete wipe with an unlocked bootloader as their ROMs have root and CWM support.

Thanks.

Device Info:

Series - Xperia U

Model No. - ST25i

Version - 4.0.4

Build Version - 6.1.1.B.1.10

BL Status - Unlocked

Root Status - Rooted

ROM - Xperiance Lite 2.0

My question -

As you can see above info, I have flashed Xperiance Lite 2.0 ROM but I am facing WiFi and USB Tethering problems. And this really annoys me.

I have searched through the Xperia U Troubleshooting Section but could not obtain results, rather got more confused.

I want to know which thing is causing the problem. Is it the ROM or the kernel?

How can I fix it?

Plz answer ASAP.

Re: [HELP THREAD][Xperia P,U,Sola & Go]Ask any question.For everyone and anyone!

If you follow like min3r said you shouldn't have this issue...

Try flash 1.54 firmware using flashtool then follow the instruction carefully and wisely...

adb not recognized??

how can i install it?it shows adb is not recognized as an internal or external command??
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Mayank7795:
Buddy, I followed your steps.

First I flashed the Stock ICS 6.1.1.B.1.54 FW.

Just out of curiosity I tried to check whether the WiFi-Tether was working or not and to my sadness, it wasn't but still I continued on.

I then installed the Xperiance Lite 2.0 ROM.

Then i checked again and then to my amazement I found it working.

Came to the conclusion that .54 FW is buggy. ".10" FW is more stable than .54 FW coz the XL 2.0 ROM is based on build 6.1.1.B.1.10

Then I tried to restore my contacts/setting etc. all through Titanium Backup.

And after Restoring I was shocked to find the problem appearing again. I literally got confused as to how this happened.

Then I re-installed the ROM and did all the restoring again but this time restoring only contacts/messages/ and some settings, no apps or it's data but again the same thing happened. SO I came to the conclusion that something is wrong with the Titanium Backup's Restore thing. SO now I am manually adding my accounts/contacts etc.

All in all I would like to thank you buddy (no sarcasm intended). Due to your suggestion I came to the conclusion that Titanium Backup is still not 100% stable. So I won't use it for now until the problem is solved.

Still I am not 100% sure as to whether this was Titanium Backup's restore thing fault or is it related to the Device ID thing or something other.

I like to poke my brain into these things so I took this trouble of re-installing the ROM again and again.

I would like just one more help. Plz clarify my doubt. What is actually causing this tethering problem as while searching for its solution yesterday, I came to know that many users are facing this problem and as soon as this problem gets solved, many users will get relieved.

OK so its been a while since i've been using cyanogenmod 9 on my xperia GO. i wanted some of the xperia apps (like walkman, album, etc) so i flashed the original ICS rom, collected their APKs (using rom toolbox pro) and then planed to return to CM9. so i flashed the CM9 kernel (the "boot.img" thingy), and installed the CM9 fxp 208 (through CWM recovery which is already there in the CM9 kernel). now when i restarted my phone, every thing went fine, but things wont go any further then the "Cyanogemod 9" boot animation! yes, its stuck there, the animation keeps going! i thought it will take a while for the first start, so i left it alone FOR A WHOLE NIGHT! when i saw it in the morning, it was still on the boot animation! i tried flashing CM9 fxp 207(the earlier release), but its still the same. Any idea about this problem? please help, im nothing more than a noob.
