[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nikunj4garwal:
urgent question

Hi , i am using sony xperia sola .

Recently i unlocked the bootloader of my phone as i wanted to root my phone , i downloaded flashtool that supports xperia sola from web

i followed the procedures to root my phone but the process failed in the end . these are the exact wordings

" Now open your device and install rootme backup.waiting ...

You have sixty seconds to follow restore device ....

running....

Root hack did not work . cleaning hack files ."

Now you would probably teeme to restore root me from backup and restore application .. but the thing is that flashtool does not give me 60 seconds and directly in one second says process failed .

please help me asap .

---------- Post added at 06:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:43 PM ----------

as stated earlier since i had problems rooting my phone from this method i tried the quick root method from bin4ry.

THIS also problem occurred after following instructions , my phone rebooted once and these were the exact wordings in the cmd box,

"Good it worked now we are rebooting soon , please be patient

waiting for device to come up again

going to copy files to its place

mount : permission denied <are you root?>

you can close all comm'and prompt windows

after reboot all is done !"

Now you will tell me what is the problem , but when i see my appdrawer there is no super user app . Pls Help ASAP
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] akp.ajinkya:
Yes,root process is reversible.

Boot loader unlocking is irreversible in the sense that you lose your warranty after unlocking.Although there are methods to relock your bootloader,but you won't regain your warranty back(in case of Sony,donno bout others).

Firmwares:

GB(Gingerbread)-Android version 2.3

ICS(Ice cream sandwich)-4.0

JB(Jelly bean)-4.1 & 4.2

Hope it helps.

i have a problem with my xperia U ,, i got it 3 days ago and i want to update it but i cant ,, it came with GB i want to update it to ICS

i tried updated throw cable ,, wifi nothing ,, even throw website it download the system and then when it start install it says this rom dont have ur device drivers !!! any ideas ?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rh4ps0dy:
Oh, BTW, which stock version of C.1.0 do you recommend? (I obviously need it just to install Xperiance on top of it :D)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Min3r:
Hey mate, What you gotta do, to root is download Bin4ry's Root tool. Then, enable the USB Debugging in your phone.Connect the phone after that and click the bat file to root. The RestoreMe will pop up in Backup n Restore.etc Just wait it out and it'll be over :)

Also, which firmware are you on ? If its B.1.54, then you need to flash B.1.10 kernel first to root, then you can go back to B.1.54 kernel. If you dont know how to use Flashtool,reply here and Ill walk you through it :D

Try flashing the latest Stock FTF ( I recommend 6.1.1.C.1.0 ) through Flashtool by Androxyde & Bin4ry

There's only one version mate ;p Here's the link

Cheers ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rh4ps0dy:
So, I:

1. flashed stock ICS C.1.0 from flashtool

2. flashed Brain's kernel from flashboot

3. flashed Xperiance from CWM (no governors, no stock animations, not S3 font)

... and everything works like a charm! Thank you! :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nikunj4garwal:
thanks min3r for your help .

@everyone - Hall of Fame added to first post,will soon add members to it :good:.Keep up with helping others..Thank you for contributing to this thread :cool:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Min3r:
Sorry I missed your post earlier lol Anyway, if you want to flash the firmware, follow the instructions posted by Khalil ;) If you just wanted the kernel, after loading FTF in flashtool, before flashing, untick all the options for Wiping in top right portion and tick all the Exclude options on Bottom Right corner except "Exclude Kernel" Thats how to flash Kernel alone without losing data ;)

Hope it helps Cheers

Nice idea :D This might even prompt more users to help out here :p

Hi guys im new to the xperia world, coming from samsung its different but anyway its all about learning!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] shakeador:
Hello, I have my Xperia P for 1 week and I am amazed, my previous phone was a HTC Wildfire that was sooooooo limited, but I somehow miss the scene and the possibility to have Cyanogen ROMS officially supported with full functionality. I decided to switch phone due to the limitations of the Wildfire and beacause I tried JB on my Tablet and loved the taste of Android 4.x.

For the moment I will stick with the stock ROM because I want some stability in my Phone, but I wanted to change some things:

The email client: I use it to red my professional eMail on Exchange server, but since I changed the launcher I get no eMail widget (I think that this is only available with Sony Launcher), I would like to substitute the client with the original Android eMail App that is more consistent with Android look and feel and it has a Widget compatible with any launcher, is it possible? Please do not recommend K9 App because I have tried it and I am not able to configure exchange email Account on It.

I not very fan of the Contacts/Dialer App from Xperia either, it is OK, but I love the Android original People App, is it possible to get it working with our Xperia P? I also loved the Calendar App but it was available in Google Play, I installed and it is working fine.

I also miss Google Now, not because of its current functionalities but for what it should be offering in the future, I think this is going to be the cornerstone of Android environment; I have been investigating and getting it to work in ICS is somehow tricky, so I would prefer to wait until JB is launched for Xperia (hopefully March), I hope that Sony is not letting us down with this.

Thank you for your attention and best regards.

I have another question, I installed CWM Recovery and it seems to work fine, but when performing a Nandroid Backup it has only about 16 MB size, when using Wildfire i used to have several hundreds sizes on each backup, I am not very sure that in case that something goes wrong if I restore one on this backups everything is going to be OK.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Hate Android Lag:
dont know what rom & kernel to flash

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] alien_28:
Hey,

Yes you will lose root access on updating your firmware

Note that if your bootloader is unlocked, you will not be able to update using sony's pcc or sus-it will give an error saying that your software is modified. So in that case you can use flashtool to flash the firmware... In either case you will lose root access(you can root your phone again using the method to root the. 54 firmware) but your bootloader status won't change.

---------- Post added at 07:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:55 PM ----------

You can find the feedback on the posts where the roms are. Im not sure what kind of ROM you are looking for..... But I'd suggest Pureblood ROM... It is an ics based ROM without much bloatware
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Spectre51:
If your bootloader is unlocked you can't update regularly and have to use flashtool or relock the bootloader first. If you have a licked bootloader and update OTA you will KEEP root. If you update through PC Companion or SUS you will lose root.

[noob] Questions

Xperia U with root and Unlocked bootloader. [Unlocked yesterday - I got the message Bootloader unlocked successfully or watever on CMD, after following the instrustions].

First off any way to check whether my bootloader is unlocked?

2) I plan on installing CM9.1 (by FXP). So, Downloaded the kumquat file (FXP201-cm-9-20130103-UNOFFICIAL-kumquat.zip) as was given. Inside the zipfile, All i can find is the boot.img / System (folder) / and META-INF (folder). So from where am i supposed to get the FXP.zip and gapps.zip

3) I am using the stock Kernals/Governors IO etc. Should I be adding (or flashing from what i see everyone here say -I guess coz of CWMR). Was thinking of maybe flashing<a href="http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1934749"> Andyx Governors module</a>. Should i be doing that? Also Is installing it after installing CM9.1 ok?(I feel i should be doing one at a time, so that i don't get overwhelmed, and in case i do something wrong, for easier troubleshooting).

4) I've been hearing quite a bit about KeiranFTW's Kernal for XU. Is that supposed to be the best Kernal for XU? Or is brainkafka's??? In Brain's I think i saw quite a few saying they lost root. So how do i get root back in that case?

5) Generally amongst the ROMs available for XU, which one is generally the best to opt for atm? Asof now I know about Paranoid/MIUI/ Brain'sROM/ AOSP/ LiGUX. I don't know of anymore if they are there. :/

NOTE:- My Build no is shown as 6.1.1.B.1.10 (I believe it isn't the latest firmware - though trying to update through OTA/ SUS is not giving me any new updates).

6) Should I upgrade to the latest firmware? (I actually couldn't get the link. All i could see was some pics confirming that such firmware updates exist.) Also is latest firmware a required necessity for the CM versions to work?

7) Since I Unlocked my Bootloader, now will i not be able to use SUS/OTA?

8) On installing CM9.1 do i loose root? Is there a way to get root back (I assume so.. can i get link to thread/instructions?)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Spectre51:
Dial *#*#7378423#*#* and go to service info - > configuration and it should saw bootloader unlocked yes

I did a little search to check no one has answered this question.

Reading the supported device section of the freexperia project they say they won't provide CM10 for Xperia U, even if IMHO its hardware should be capable to support it. Wondering about the reason, is it only because an official Sony JB is missing so they can't retrieve the drivers for camera etc.?

The Rio class (XPeria U, Sola, Go) is the only one missing the CM10 development of the 2012 devices...

---------- Post added at 06:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:44 PM ----------

after 2 days of long hours of failure attempts, im so frustrated now. xda users say its not safe to unlock bootloader if phone's manufacturing date is over 11W29+, which will results in hard brick. my sola has date of 12W38, but i see many guide in unlocking sola's bootloader. so what the heck is all this bout? btw how to tell whether bootloader has been unlock? i used flashtool n i my sola reboot from fastboot. it seems ok(can be use) but i dono whether the bootloader is unlock......im so damn confused right now. this drives me so crazy........

Xperia GO battery issue

Hi,

I have this problem with my Xperia Go - I always felt that it drained too much battery. Then once I charged it to 100% in the night. Plugged off the charger, turned off mobile data and wifi and in the next 6-7 hours, when I woke up in the morning, the battery was at 76%.

Looked at power management and there is no application as such eating the battery. Display and idle were at the top.

Before into technicalities, I would just like to know if this is normal. I have asked this question at Sony forums and also at the repair center here in Bangalore, India but haven't yet got any proper reply.

Let me also tell you here that I took my phone at the service center who thought there was some issue in it too and sent it to the HQ. Three weeks later they have now given me what looks like a refurbished phone which, i think, is also showing the same old symptoms. So then, is this just normal? 25% goes just off in 6-7 hours, without doing anything?

Would love to have your replies.

My first post here, please be kind!

thanks

Ak

ps: Android version on my phone is ICS (1.10 sony update)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ljubanve:
Definitely no. If you use extended standby mode it should drain 1-2% top.

You can try installing some other ROM or update stock ROM... :confused:
