hello!

a few days ago i found a post describing some lines i should add in a root file (propably build.pro but really not sure about this) that could help reduce keyboard desapearing in some roms.

it was something like com.keyboard..... =1 (also not sure)

tried to find it again, but i cannot :/

could someone help me?

thanks in advance! :)

I have recently intalled the JB prerooted 6.2.A.0.400 rom on my xperia p, and its working well

but now i cant access cwm , is there is a cwm for JB and how can i change the rom now

thank you,
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zdad:
The cwm is not included in the rom.

You can easily install the recovery using the same method you use when youre still in ICS
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ahmad.alshikhomar:

cwm works only on stock ics rom

to install Stock

try

Method 1

first of all, check your firmware version (if you already have the newest one, you do not need this tutorial)

b) download and install latest Flashtool from here (mirror)

c) download also latest Android 4.0.4 (mirror) for Sony XPERIA U ST25i

d) paste the ftf file downloaded in step c) to folder „Firmware“ included in the XPERIA Flashtool

e) open the XPERIA Flashtool, click on flash and choose downloaded firmware, than click ok. Important - if you do not want to delete any data of your phone, just uncheck flashing userdata.sin file. All data will remain in your phone, but sometimes it can cause additional troubles. So it is better (and I recommend that) to do the backup of your personal data, than proceed with clean instalation and then restore your personal data.

f) turn off your phone and when Flashtool shows pop up window, connect phone to PC with holding volume down button

g) after few minutes all is done and your phone gets the new firmware

method2

1.download flashable via CWM xperia u firmware

2.copy boot.img from that zip to flashboot folder (hope ur familiar with fastboot,{delete,other boot.img file if already occupied})

3.switch off your phone and cnnct to usb by holding volume up button (led colour turns to purple )

4.now right click there by holding shift and select opn cmnd window here

5.type fastboot falsh boot boot.img

6.after few scnds ltr type fastboot reboot

7.now enter to CWM and wipe following

>wipe data

>wipe cache

>wipe dalvik cache (in advance menu)

8.and install your zip

9. reboot

hit thanks if hlpd!!

Don't know youvgot it wrong or just simply bad luck my friend.

I forgot the thread, will be back with the correct thread once I'm on my pc.

The one I'm talking about is the v1.cwm installer which runs when you click install.bat

Hi everyone,

I tried to install once again the original ROM of my Xperia U by flashing a relocked bootloader. From here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=26783129#post26783129

I will unlock the bootloader and after install CM 9 in my

Xperia U

(While there's a Stable release of CM10) but I have some questions:

1. When I will unlock the bootloader see that I have to execute CMD in the same folter of fastboot. That fastboot is the same that installs with flashtools? And is in the flashtools folder?

2. To Install the kernel, is just the boot.img file? And is the same of the 1st question? in the same folder of fastboot?

3 After that, If I install the kernel of FXP can I boot into stock firmware (just for testing if is booting correctly) and after that install CM9 and the GApps?

4. My phone is ST25a. So the baseband is different, will i have problems with that in CM9 with my phone (For 3G and GPS) ? Or CM takes the same baseband that I have in my actual Rom?

Thanks for your Help

Download stock ics and flash it using flashtool
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Mufrad:
Fastboot and flashtool are 2 different things. Stock Rom has different kernel to cm based rom. If you are flashing a cm rom then you are using custom recovery which will not modify your baseband files so you don't have to worry about that.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] alvarorojas4:
Thanks!

The fastboot is the same for unlock bootloader and install the kernel?

And where can I download it?

You can look for adb and fastboot files in the forum, just search for it, or you can get the new flashtool for xperia, you can unlock bootloader and also flash kernel in fastboot mode with it.

You can install font installer from Google play, lots of fonts to choose from, also has previews.

You need to install your phone's driver in order to enter fastboot mode.

Have you downloaded flashtool? You can find your phone's driver after you install flashtool.

If this still fail, make sure you have your computer connected to the internet with a good speed. It'll look for your driver automatically

Hope this would help

Use root appdelete or similar apps to uninstall bloatware, install kernel with better governor and io, even after that if you are not satisfied then overclock it, be careful with overclocking, if you don't do it right you might damage the hardware.

I am using Sola ICS.54 rooted. I used the same binary technique to root my phone that you mentioned. Yes it is common thing to have black icons and lags after flashing with .10 kernel. But after rooting and flashing back to .54 kernel, the original icons will be restored. So, go ahead and root your device. ALL THE BEST.

Hi, there

I have a Sony Xperia U with GB & locked Bootloader , there is a screen sot of my phone's info

As the title says , is there ANY way to unlock & root without wiping the phone's data??:confused:

IF there is not and it seems this is the case

is there a way to Backup the phone BEFORE unlocking so that i can restore it as it was before unlocking?? like full backup??:confused:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Phantom Pt. II:
I updated the phone to ICS (via the Sony official way), then rooted without losing any of the data of the Apps and such. I guess from that point you can get your backup?

Well i Still didn't get any update to ICS maybe because i am in Egypt??
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Mufrad:
You don't need to unlock bootloader to root your device, only if you install a custom kernel you need to unlock bootloader, so if you just root your phone you will not loose your data, and if you plan to unlock bootloader then you can use pc suite for backup or install custom recovery and do a nandroid backup.

Not everyone will get the update all at once, you will have to wait until sony releases the update for your device and region.
