No NFC in Ultimate Sola V2

i've installed custom rom ultimate sola on my xperia sola, i've just found there is no nfc in the custom rom,,,

i want to instal nfc on my sola now, i ve read the ultimate sola thread on development thread and there is somebody who asked the same problem aboout this no NFC like me. and the creator replied his question "try to copy nfc.apk and nfc handout from stock rom and install it"

is there somebody here who have the file?

help me please
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] akp.ajinkya:
I m sure u are using .54 firmware,this method doesn't wok on this firmware.

To root,flash .10 kernel using flashtool,then try rooting.After rooting again flash .54 kernel.Thats it.Ask if you need any help.

Good luck!:good:

Hit Thanks,if i helped.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] 145rbkp:
I had. the same problem...do yo have ics. 54 firmware?

if so, follow this:

first go to go development section then download go .10 kernel then flash it with flashtool then try root with bin4ry as you mentiond then flash back to. 54 firmware

so in summary you need 3 things: .54 kernel ftf file. .10 kernel ftf file. and flashtool

just get back to page 37 or 38 and you'll find my question and full answer
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Devo1982:
Good morning,

I would like some advice about updating my Xperia Go from GB to ICS. The phone is completely stock at present and I am pleased with how it performs but would like to give ICS a try. My only worry is that I have read lots about people saying their phones are laggy running ICS.

My questions are:

1. If I update to ICS using SEUS or PC Companion is there a way I can simply downgrade again if I am not happy?

2. Once on ICS are there improvements that can be made to improve the performance like removing unwanted bloatware etc?

Sorry if the questions are a little n00by but I just want to be sure before I go any further.

Thanks
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Bl4ckYellow:
Thank you very much, it worked.

Also, I'd like to ask, what is the difference between the .54 and the .10 version

I also need to install CWM recovery, any ideas on how to do so?

I am a noob at this:laugh:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] akp.ajinkya:
Well,the complaining ones are those who do not factory reset their phones after installing to ics.

As per your queries:

1.Yes,you can always downgrade or upgrade your device using flashtool.

2.No,even on ICS,bloatwares can't be removed if you are unrooted.But you can if you root.

I hope these answer your queries.

Ask away,if you need any help.

Hit Thanks,if i helped.:)

Hey mate,

B.1.54 is a newer version, its an update to B.1.10 :) Lots of fixes and improvements basically :)

and installing CWM, see this Thread
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Bl4ckYellow:
Hey guys, my st27i went into a boot loop.

I tried installing a custom rom called xperiance lite and I ended up going into a boot loop.

I tried putting it into fast boot mode, but it wont seem to work
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] akp.ajinkya:
Acc. to Sony:The Ice Cream Sandwich .54 firmware includes improvements to: stability, WiFi, tethering/portable hotspot, camera (capture and playback), NFC and Messaging.

Acc. to my experience:Reduced lag,new options in wireless & network:NFC wallet and improved battery backup.

For CWM,After rooting,download this:https://www.box.com/s/zq0h0l7x4r8x8u09jjf5,extract the zip file,enable USB debugging on your phone.After ADB drivers get installed on PC(automatic installation),run install.bat.Give root permission to the popup dialog on the phone.After install.bat process finishes,you have your CWM installed.:victory:

To go into the recovery,reboot your phone,as soon as you see SONY logo,start tapping your screen,there will be a vibration and you are finally into the recovery menu.

Good luck,ask away if you need any help.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MUHAMMAD KHALIL:
Flash stock ftf back using flashtool then follow the procedure carefully to install the rom:)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Bl4ckYellow:
Yes, I have already installed CWM recovery,

But I ended up bricking my phone because I flashed a wrong kernel when installing a custom rom.

So I need help for that.

When I plug my phone in, It asks me to install drivers and the phone just resumes its boot loop
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] 145rbkp:
any body answer me? my question is on last screen
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] akp.ajinkya:
Don't worry,its just a softbrick,just flash stock firmware via flashtool.Is your bootloader locked or unlocked?

If you're locked,then don't use any custom kernel,u will always end up softbricking.

---------- Post added at 12:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:12 PM ----------

Where is your question?:p
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] 145rbkp:
page 44 last one sorry I didnt wrote because um on mobile
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] akp.ajinkya:
Oh yes,found your 'question',but it was'nt on the previous 'screen':D.

Any way if you want a 'fast' rom,use ultimate sola v2 by pulak861,its definitely fast(my experience) and its based on .54 firmware for locked bootloaders.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Min3r:
Bro, you didnt read my instructions,did you ? :p If you install my rom over a Custom kernel with governor, you gotta flash the Custom kernel support zip as well :p Flash it now before doing any other wipes or anything and it'll boot fine ;) PS: if you have issues with a rom, you can get more accurate help since everryone who uses that particular rom will be seeing your post ;)

And if you want to flash FTF, install Flashtool. Go to the drivers folder in its directory, install Flashmode,Fastboot and Sola drivers. Then, after that, start FTF install with Flashtool. When Flashtool prompts you to connect the phone, turn it off and holding the Volume Down button, connect the usb cable to phone ( it should already be connected to the Computer) then flashing starts and wait 2-3 minutes to get back to stock :) Then you can try isntalling my rom again :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] 145rbkp:
Mr min3r how is your Rom? what are bugs? does it support licked bootloader?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Min3r:
Since Im the developer, Obviously I say its good ;) Anyway, Its one of the fastest roms for Sola, possibly the fastest, Different people say different things and since I dont own a Sola I cant concrete anything lol And yes, its based on stock right now, Not much theming but Bare bones and loads of tweaks ;) v2 will be coming soon which is even better but not yet fully ready :(

[A preview of what Sola will get with v2 can be seen from the same rom for Xperia U :p.. Press the link in my thread ;) ] Anyway, the only bug that was there is that when you have custom Governors, LEDs dont work properly. Not really anything I can fix since I didnt make them :( However, issue can be avoided by not applying governors and the fix is explained in the main and 2nd posts ;)

Hope you like it :p Here's the link Just make sure you flash it on top of Stock FTF only without any mods ;) And follow the instructions carefully ;)

Feel free to PM me anytime if you have issues ;)

And yes, it works fine with Locked Bootloader :D

Cheers

Rooting Problem

I want to root my xperia u . I have tried doing the same with the help of both flashtool and the binary method , but every-time I was unsuccessful .

In the flashtool whenever I connect my phone ( debug - on ) the software shows a message - "Phone connected with Debugging OFF" .

I have tried repairing my software twice but no use .

ANY POSSIBLE SOLUTION ???:rolleyes:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Min3r:
Go to Settings, scroll to the bottom and select Developer Options. There make sure USB Debugging is enabled and then try again :p PS: Which f/w of ICS are you on ?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] akp.ajinkya:
I think you are on .54 firmware,then first flash .10 kernel,then root using Bin4ry's method,then again flash .54 kernel.that's it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] 145rbkp:
simple...go to settings in your phone then developing options then tick usb debug mode

but you mentioned you've turned it on
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] akp.ajinkya:
Bro..He already mentioned that debugging is On...:laugh:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] 145rbkp:
really really there isnt any way to root .54 firmware easily?!

almost every body here have this problem!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] akp.ajinkya:
Afraid not,AFAIK not on XDA,and if not on XDA,where?nowhere...So we have to fix to the only workaround:flash.10 kernel->root->flash.54 kernel.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Devo1982:
Okay so I updated my phone to ICS earlier and must admit that it's not as speedy as it was running GB. I also have an issue where my wifi doesn't want to recognise our wireless network here now (was working fine on GB). Lastly the battery consumption is astounding! I charged it earlier to 100% and then after maybe an hour with very little use it had gone down to 76& - is this normal on ICS?

I wiped the phone as part of the update vis SEUS so I'm not sure if a factory reset will have any impact now...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] akp.ajinkya:
Well,immediately when i first updated my phone to ICS .10 firmware,it had lag issues,but after factory reset they were solved to some extent such that they were not so bothering.But after updating to .54 version,it had no lag issues.

As for the battery problem,its not normal to drop that fast,make sure u don't have any processes running in the background.Factory reset may help with this,try it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Devo1982:
Thanks!

I have the .54 firmware downloaded and I am considering flashing my phone with it now.

---------- Post added at 05:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:26 PM ----------

Okay I'm a bit worried now - I just tried to flash my phone with .54 using flashtool.

It counted right up to 100% but now the flashtool is just sat there. it hasn't given me any confirmation that it's finished or not?

Am I right in thinking I should have enabled USB debugging prior to flashing? If so (and I didn't) am I now screwed.

PLEASE HELP A NOOB

Which ROM should i choose?

there are too many ROMs & i dono which ro flash on my SOLA.......im so confused......can someone who is experienced tell me which one to choose for SOLA?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ss2taj:
Brother as I written earlier the debug thing is on .

My phone is running on ICS c.10
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Min3r:
Sorry I didnt notice that.. I was just about to take a nap before I replied lol Did you flash B.1.10 kernel ? You need to flash the old kernel to perform root. After rooting, you can go back to the new kernel ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] akp.ajinkya:
Well,i m not so experienced,but i think i can help you with this.

There are two types of roms available:for locked bootloaders and for unlocked bootloaders.

For only unlocked bootloaders:

CM 9.1(port)

AOKP milestone 6 (alpha port)

Paranoidandroid v1.4a(port)

For locked&unlocked bootloaders:

Ultimate sola v1(based on .10 stock),v2 (based on .54 stock)

pureblood v1(based on .54 stock) v2(based on .54 stock)

Xperiance lite v1(based on .54 stock)

TheBrainsROM(based on .54 stock)

MIUI

They are only some of them, u can also look here:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1937792

Personally i have used most of them(above mentioned(locked only) and the others) and i have found ultimate sola v2 and xperiance lite v1 to be the fastest and best of all.But its just my opinion.

Hit thanks,if i helped:)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Hate Android Lag:
my SOLA doesnt restart after root, the bat file says system cant detect the specific path. is this normal?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] akp.ajinkya:
Did rooting process complete?What bat file are u talking about?Please elaborate.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Min3r:
He means Root by Bin4ry.. It didnt work, I believe. Can you post the log here ? Please paste it in

tags to avoid disrupting the flow of the thread :P
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Hate Android Lag:
the thing is it says successful, but i dont see any changes. im using bin4ry, which has the RunMe.bat file
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] akp.ajinkya:
Well then,i think u r using .54 firmware,just flash .10 kernel using flashtool,then root using bin4ry's method,then again flash. 54 kernel.Thats it,gud luck.

Hit thanks,if i helped.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Hate Android Lag:
ok, will try out later~~ btw, why it needs to go all this trouble to root? can u explain?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Min3r:
Alot of ICS phones had a common root exploit which was found by Bin4ry ;) This included our Xperia 2012 phones. Unfortunately, with the latest kernel, Sony has patched that exploit. Since we already have a working exploit, noone has bothered to research for a new root exploit till now.

Hence we flash the older B.1.10 kernel which doesnt have patch for root exploit and root it then go back to the new one :)

but i want to somethings like :

Timescape Widgets For sony

change the fonts

how i can use theme

i looked in the original thread but i didnt find helps

plz Reply asap !!

thank u again :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Bl4ckYellow:
Hey guys,

I was wondering if anyone could provide me with a link to a place that I could download a custom kernel that could allow me to overclock my st27i.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Min3r:
In addition to Defrosting, try starting the app manually if possible. That might fix it. If that doesnt work either, Id suggest a Factory Reset :(

Hope it helps ;)

Hey mate, Glad you like it :p Before I answer your question, Just a suggestion, you might get more relevant info for Rom-related stuff if you ask in the Developer's since he as well as its users are the ones who will see your question :) I know that you couldnt do that due to Post count but just thought Id let you know ;) PS: feel free to PM me also if you got issues. Sometimes, I might miss individual replies in these threads :p

1) Timescape.. Few ppl used it,Hence I removed.. Ill make you a flashable zip to install it now ;)

2) Select any font you like, go to /system/fonts with any root file manager and replace Roboto,DroidSans and their bold versions with your ttf file :) ie, delete them and rename copies of yours to Roboto,DroidSans.etc. Then set permissions 644 :)

3) Go to Settings, Display and select Theme :)

I believe I answered the 1st two questions somewhere in thread but it might have been in PM, not sure lol Anyway, I hope that clarifies everything ;) If you run into any issue, let me know ;)

Cheers

erm im kinda confused now.....what is a firmware, bootloader & kernel? is bootloader the same as ROM? root is reversible, what process is inreversible? n how to flash something?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rh4ps0dy:
Hi, I'm a n00b! :o

I installed Xperiance on my XU just the other day and like it a lot. However, I have noticed that my phone tends to have little hiccups. I wouldn't call it laggy in general, and it works like a charm just after a restart, menus open quite fast. Stock dialer is slow (that's why I use exDialer) and when I use Play Store, all I can do is sit and twiddle my thumbs until it's finished because it slows my phone down. I have frozen CPU managers just in case, don't use automatic task killers (I kill apps manually through ZDbox widget). The phone always has at least 11% RAM free (don't know if that's normal). I followed installation instructions the best I could. Oh, and yes, I use non-stock locker and sometimes can't wake the phone up (I push the button, notification light turns on, but the screen doesn't).

Any thoughts, ideas?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Min3r:
Firmware is the complete package of Bootloader, Rom, Kernel, Baseband and the Partition Layout. Normally, the Partition Layout (the division of space into apps, system, and data partitions,etc) is never altered b/w firmware, and neither is Baseband (the spectrum to which a phone connects to 3G).

Kernel is like the engine of car, it runs the entire OS. The bootloader is in charge of booting the kernel, like Ignitiion Plugs,you could say :p A locked bootloader is one which can only boot Signed Kernels ( ie signed by manufacturers like Sony). Any modification to a kernel loses the signing and it becomes a Custom Kernel. Custom Kernels can only be booted by unlocked Bootloaders.

ROM is like the car itself, it gives the user interface that you see and the features.etc ;)

Hope this clarifies :p My definition of ROM is a bit vague but I think it should give a sufficient picture. Hopefully, someone can improve my definition of rom atleast lol

Hey mate, Thanks for downloading my rom :D and really Glad you like it :p But it seems you got a bit of a corrupted install here

This is the kind of RAM you can expect a few mins into boot. And even otherwise, when no app is running in foreground( Games normally) RAM should always stay around 80mb or above :p my rom will autokill apps in memory to meet that condition. So the lags you are getting should be nearly non-existent. I think your install is corrupt possibly. Can you tell me which f/w or rom you installed this on top of ? And which kernel are you using ?The lockscreen delay might be due to the Locker. Can you try with AOSP lock which I used in my rom and say ? :p

Let me know :) Feel free to PM as well anytime you got doubts :)

Cheers
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] qhuinzy_09:
thanks

..@Min3r

your right dude ! thanks!!

factory reset will do ...

although a loss a lot files ...its ok cause a i have a back up on my sd card .. :fingers-crossed:

can i ask again ?

i have a ics 4.04

6.1.1.B.1.54

xperia sola?

how can install cmw ?

cause i want to install a custom rom.. like pureblood sola ..

my device is rooted ..

thanks!!;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Min3r:
Hey mate :) Glad it worked for you :p

Anyway, here's alink to CWM 6.0 by Atis1212 Just extract his zip and run the bat file from desktop after enabling USB Debugging & connecting the phone ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rh4ps0dy:
Thanks for the quick reply! :) My ICS version is 6.1.1.C.1.0 and kernel is 3.0.8+ (gcc version 4.4.3). I don't remember the exact procedure, but I installed the kernel from boot.img created by the guy with "something kafka" nickname. :laugh: I did have some problems during the installation, boot animation loop, but managed to install the ROM in the end.

So, what should I do now? Backup and reinstall everything? In which order exactly?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] qhuinzy_09:
thanks for your support buddy !!:good::good:

again ?;);)

how can i make a back up of my system ? that i can flash to flash tool ? just a prevention if something goes wrong to my phone?

and what is the best that i can do to my phone /except titanuim back up? its newly rooted
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Min3r:
Hey mate, here's the possible bootloop cases in my rom :

1) You installed the Governors ( this causes an issue in case you are using a custom kernel with Governors already installed, Like Brainkafka's :p )

2) You selected Stock Charging Animation ( Silly me, during last minute edits, I placed the wrong resolution files there ( meant for GO ;) )

3) Galaxy S3 Rosemary Font.. 1 file missing.. Easy to fix but Ill do it later ;)

So just avoid these cases and it will work fine :p ps: You are on unlocked bootloader right ? I ask cause Brain's kernel wont work with locked and it might have caused the bootloop which was probably solved by flashing a stock kernel on it ;)

So 1st backup any way you like (not CWM since that backups entire ROM)

Then flash stock C.1.10 rom with wipes,etc everything :)

Then, using B.1.10 kernel, root and install CWM (if you're on locked)

For unlocked, flash Brain's kernel as before and check if booting and cwm works

Then, proceed to flash my rom from zip

(remember that AROMA doesnt like our device so try to avoid more than 1 finger near screen ;) )

That should work :D I gotta go now.. Ill be back online in an hour or 2.. If you have any issues,post here and hopefully,someone will reply here else Ill reply when I get back :)

Cheers

Go to CWM, Advanced and there's a setting to create Firmware zip. Thats a cwm zip for restoring.. (takes like 15+ minutes be warned ) Creating an FTF, not sure.. If I find a way Ill let you know ;)

Gotta go now.. late already :( Sorry guys

Cya later !
