What the heck?

Sony just released the Xperia E, having a Snapdragon MSM7227A processor and 512MB ram

It's running Jelly Bean for real! Check out those rectangular toggles: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=061JdTi3hww#t=53s

Sony-The biggest troll in the history of mobile manufacturers!!!
[Xperia Arc General] kamarush:
This is just business policy..... They know how to force the costumers, to buy always the "newest" stuff....
[Xperia Arc General] justkiddinghere:
Very few are buying sony's phone now :p
[Xperia Arc General] Ghostfreak NB:
@ sdk's post

That is pure crap S#i+

Not good business by Sony, must say that!
[Xperia Arc General] AntiBillOS:
Sony - just s**t, they kids users and release buggy update.
[Xperia Arc General] IdeosDev:
Business strategy.

But we don't need their update.

Their ICS release is yet enough buggy and lag.

If they release JB for 2011 doesn't mean it will be great
[Xperia Arc General] mikeioannina:
The only bad thing is that without future updates we are stuck with old libs (camera, adreno libs, etc...) and we're going to need many hacks to fix some things
[Xperia Arc General] n1kolaa:
1+ we have same apps as ics on stock rom only api level upgraded :/

and kernel is still 2632 :/
[Xperia Arc General] kAcA.:
Hahah OMG I can't believe this with the Xperia E... Sony the biggest troll for sure

I do not think a good marketing strategy, made ​​worse relationships with clients Sony, because I still have a 2011 and xperia where to buy another android device no longer think of Sony. After this unit then, and our xperia ics with a bug. Will make 4 months with no firmware update. Had upgraded our phones would be happy and all other android users they would look of a way to difrente Sony and would conquer.

So, its was a mistake to me buy a 2011 phone,:confused:

Oh.. God forgive my sins

[Xperia Arc General] bluestricker_21:
I idolized sony for there good business strategy

But not on support.

They make people idiot..

At least i know something when it comes to technology.

I well never by sony device again
[Xperia Arc General] ninsuko:
Xperia E having 512M RAM with MSM7227A, which is worse than arc s 's MSM8255.

But Xperia E will be released with JB.... what does sony think?????????
[Xperia Arc General] whyparch:
I will tell you what does Sony think.

They don't give a f*** :cool:

They just want you to buy a new device.

The devices older than one year become obsolete and abandoned.

However, lack of upgrade to JB for ArcS has nothing with it's hardware performance...
[Xperia Arc General] kamarush:
Not quite. The msm7227a is newer than the 8255. /* and the kernel is maintained by Foxconn ;) */
[Xperia Arc General] n1kolaa:
tell me something 8255 also have htc phones , way we still didt get 3.0 kernel or 2.6.35 ?

galaxy s plus with have same spec as arc get it in septeber. Im confused,

also some huawei phones have same specs as ours :/
[Xperia Arc General] kamarush:
I've already explained this.....

So, semc using NON-STANDARD kernel drivers and headers... While at the htc and samsung the porting means add the device specific sources, modify according to the new kernel api, modify the kconfig and makefiles and when you get the zimage then it will boot.... And second thing there you able to modify the bootloader too.

Here not.. We don't have access to the bootloader and boot partition /* this is why we can't flash kernels through cwm */ to modify and need to edit one by one the drivers, boardfile and headers, because that all non-standard sh*t... You can check these all what i'm talking about. Just compare a similar driver's source... And you'll see.

Btw sadly the situation is the same with the 2010 line xperias too..

To make work higher kernel we need documentation and a "little" help from sony. I've already asked but with this, they don't help... So this means months of work and debug,debug,debug,debug,debug,debug.......

And in this way, i don't know is it will be worth or not...

Btw. recently i've ported kernel 3.6.9 to nexus7... So now i clearly see how hard is to develop another /higher/ kernel for this phones.
[Xperia Arc General] sean.paul:
the devices in other brand like " htc desire " incerdible s "galaxy s" have 768 mb ram for speedly work

but this device have 335 mb ram that 150 - 180 mb for sytem and 180 ta 200 mb for user

its not good - this device cant work good in ics now we wanna update it????
[Xperia Arc General] IdeosDev:
Oh no this turn wrongly.

As kamarush already explained over the kernel part.

I also have mention numerous of time that you can't always take and compare other series with msm8225 onboard.

HTC Desire HD,Incredible S,Desire S,S+ all those are having similar chip but yet they have their advantage.

Why Sony Release JB for the Xperia J & E? : Business strategy,you wouldn't buy Xperia Arc/S if there wouldn't be ICS by that time.

As once being ICS user,the release is yet sluggish and useless.A release of JB can be made by SONY but yet you won't see any different likely to be change.

If they wouldn't helping to update kernel to 3.X there won't be much need to have JB.

If you want pure performance and future-proof.Go for phone with T3 & S4 Pro processor.

Just few more week to 2013.

You may look on Xperia X8,one of very first Android device i own,won't get even android 2.2,but developer manage to get it to JB 4.1.2 but anyway it won't be as far well you think.(Stock BL just on 2.3) but nevertheless there's no usability on 4.1.2.Is time to move on guys.

Glad to have CM9.1/CM10 from FXP.

Clockwork-mod recovery for Motorola XT530/531 and XT532.​

You've already messed up with your phone.
Now if something happens don't point your finger to me.
All I can do is to laugh at you, as loud as possible.
So always keep in mind that you do changes by your choice.
Thank YOU

After 7amdoun's successful finish on fixing bootmenu bugs, I proudly present the easiest way to have bootmenu on these phones.

First of all check out that you have all the things required :

1. A Motorola XT530/XT531 or XT532.

2. Must be rooted.

3. If you don't know how to root. Check out here [Thanks to 008Rohit]

4. A PC.

If you are done with above things you can proceed further.

There are two ways to get bootmenu on your device

First

Steps are very simple :

1. Just download "Bootmenu_v2.0.2.zip" and extract it.

2. Double Click "Bootmenu Installer.bat"

3. And follow the onscreen instructions.

Second:

[Special thanks to andrewidya for making the .apk]

Either refer to the installation video made by andrewidya

[YOUTUBE]DJpV1mdMxHo[/YOUTUBE]

OR

This is easier way, you ought to have busybox installed:

1. Download the "Recovery Installer_1.0.apk" file from the attachment.

2. Install it on your phone.

3. Open "Recovery Installer" from App drawer

4. Tap "Install Recovery"

5. You've CWM installed.

You are DONE :cowboy:

Congratulations, You are now having Custom Recovery in your phone.

Using Bootmenu:

Touch will not work in bootmenu.

Use volume keys to navigate and power key to select. :D

If you face any problem you can ask me anytime.

Wait... Where are you going? Downloading ...??

Please don't forget the Thanks button.

And please go and thank other members also, it wouldn't have been possible without them.[/B]

Hey aweosomeabhijeet,

Can you develop a cwm for Motorola Defy Mini XT320 as I don't know how to port it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aweosomeabhijeet:
Give your recovery dump.

Or you can do it on your own it's too simple.

1. Dump your recovery

2. Go to builder.clockworkmod.com

3. upload the img there.

Have some tea or coffee and it will get ready soon.

Download the files and you are done.

CWM recovery for fire xt

I falashed my phone with XT531 SBF from Brazil, will dat make any difference?? my phone is shown as XT531 in info..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aweosomeabhijeet:
Only that service center people will not accept it if you are not from brazil. And network switching might have problems.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BTiwari:
can u upgrade kernal or not
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dr. Hurt:
Here's a slightly improved bootmenu (with one important variable fix for the XT530).

Try selecting 2nd-init in bootmenu and tell me what happens.

BTW, are you able to unmount /system partition once you load CWM?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aweosomeabhijeet:
I didn't tried but was able to flash zip(s).(see the video)

I think while flashing it did unmounting /system
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vvk30:
yup tried it 2 times but phone starts normally :confused::confused:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dr. Hurt:
There is a manual option somewhere in CWM to unmount /system. Try it and see if it works.

Also, using the new bootmenu I uploaded, try selecting 2ni-init and see if phone boots normally (without ADB).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aweosomeabhijeet:
I also tried it before . It didn't worked. The phone gets stucks at bootlogo

Error ! unmounting /system

BTW, andrewidya figured out how to get the normal OS to boot without ADB , he needs some time.

And he is building installer script for bootmenu

Edit : Why people are not able to boot in bootmenu? Have I done something wrong?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aweosomeabhijeet:
Did you set the permissions correctly?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] krishnak1:
one doubt!

after d last step when i rebooted...my mob booted as normal...it didnt show any recovery mode...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aweosomeabhijeet:
Ok everybody I think 97bootmenu is the problem.

Solution :

Create 97bootmenu manually.

Steps:

1.Open /system/etc/init.d

2. Create a file, name it 97bootmenu.

3. Open the file as text

Type:

#!/system/bin/sh

stop
exec /system/bootmenu/binary/bootmenu

4. repair permissions.

5. Restart your phone and tell me the situation.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] krishnak1:
how!?

i tried ... same situation. .:(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aweosomeabhijeet:
Okk I will figure out what's the problem?

And will release it correctly soon.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] b-m-b-85:
CONFIRMED WORKING ON XT535 currently backing up Via CWM. Backup complete. Problems are: have no backlight in CWM. when scrolling down with the volume keys the text moves across to the middle. Many thanks guys! :) :D info: /system/ is not manually unmountable in CWM, and selecting 2nd init on recovery, the phone hangs at the boot. Be sure to check correct permissions mine didnt work the first time because of perms on 97bootmenu
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aweosomeabhijeet:
Cool.

To Everybody

Don't forget to change the permissions please.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dr. Hurt:
I'll try messing with CWM6 to see how it goes and will report back.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] saraghon:
Ok thanks. I just want to try.

---------- Post added at 07:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:08 PM ----------

I did it but always my phone is still starting in normal mode. No bootmenu.

I was able to run bootmenu manually with terminal. So I think that init.d is the real problem. The 97bootmenu doesn't run on boot. Any idea to have correct init.d support. I used pimp my rom from the market and I also tried the apk posted in mazen.kh's thread. Thanks guys. Keep it up.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aweosomeabhijeet:
permissions are the most important part remember to change then .
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] saraghon:
No my friend. I know that the important is the file must be executed with every one. I finally resolved my problem. Thanks everybody. I fixed my init.d support . install-recovery.sh must have 'busybox run-parts /system/etc/init.d/' instead of 'run-parts /system/etc/init.d/' Big thanks to 7amdoun.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aweosomeabhijeet:
I will give you the default one as I get home.

But for me that are working.

But I'll suggest you to confirm that this is not a operator problem.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dr. Hurt:
I spent 2 days porting CWM6 to our phone and it works but still freezes on backing up system. It backs up boot and recovery though. :(

---------- Post added at 02:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:26 PM ----------

I DID IT - I DID IT - I DID IT

I managed to make CWM6 kill every single process using the /system partition before backing up and now it works :D :D :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aweosomeabhijeet:
Wooo bro Congrats!

That's a very good news.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BTiwari:
thats great :good::good::good::good:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] chen2011521:
The same problem, how did you solve it ?

I ported cwm6 to xt311 with smaller font .it looks very good.

But some time it can backup boot recovery system data, then goto bootmenu, somewhere wrong.

Sometime it only backup boot and recovery, can't do more.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dr. Hurt:
One last bug, the phone crashes after successfully backing up... Hehe

I'll fix it, clean up, and release everything tomorrow.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BTiwari:
can any one tell me what is the resone for this i have tryed cwm and it worked all time but i have tryed it to day and phone stoped at motorola logo plzze help me
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mEmoZz:
that's happen to me yesterday! try to wipe cache partition from stock recovery

if it still freeze make factory reset form stock recovery

if still freeze flash new sbf :D I make it yesterday :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dr. Hurt:
It might be related to install-recovery.sh

It gave me all sorts of problems so I strongly discourage using it for now.

As for your problem, delete install-recovery.sh and 97bootmenu using adb and you'll probably be fine.

---------- Post added at 06:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:49 PM ----------

I'll explain everything tomorrow once I fix the rest of the stuff.

ClockworkMod 6 for Motorola Fire XT

After three days of hard work and after bricking my phone twice, I can finally say that I have successfully ported CWM6 to our phone and it's working perfectly. Much better than CWM5.

There are still a few bugs though but I think its stable enough to share. No major functionality problems.

Use camera key to select instead of power (in CWM only).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dr. Hurt:
OMG :D

Which ROM? Whats working, whats not working?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aweosomeabhijeet:
Is everything working fine ?

Should I update first post with it.

I had tried CWM 6 earlier but with bugs.

Hope you fixed the important ones
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aweosomeabhijeet:
Hey man I'm not a professional in Rom Porting.

I was just testing the update-script.

Everything was stock Only the bootanimation was new and My Jellybean statusbar and some other mods.

But one problem the phone booted successfully everything was working but the bootanimation kept loading all the time.

I tested with lockscreen and mounted sdcard in PC(through some experience in my phone :laugh: )

Could you tell me about the possible errors.

Here is the update-script.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dr. Hurt:
Give it a try, or wait till some people try it first.

PS. There is no progress bar during backup, so be patient.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aweosomeabhijeet:
Okay I will try.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dr. Hurt:
This updater-script does not point to /system correctly.

PS. When you try custom ROMs, set debug.composition.mode to cpu and debug.sf.hw to 0 because most ROMs use newer libs which aren't compatible with our old kernel.

Good luck porting a ROM to our phone :D

Flashing should work much better using CWM6
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aweosomeabhijeet:
So how should I point it to /system?

dev/block/blockmtd8?

Tried that flashing finishes within seconds and phone stops at RED "M"
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dr. Hurt:
Then try deleting the this whole line.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aweosomeabhijeet:
Will give it a try tommorow. I'm having a holiday :)

Now feeling sleepy. Bye good night.

Edit : hey I got a complain of backup being stuck at /system for half an hour.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dr. Hurt:
Again?!

It worked perfectly for me. Try erasing the entire bootmenu folder from /system and reinstalling then reboot into stock recovery and clear cache partition then boot in CWM and try again.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] chen2011521:
Perhaps you forget some explain.

It stuck at backup /system at xt316.

How did you solve the problem.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] inyong1:
Yes, me to (still stuck in backing up... /system)

Btw, in cwm6 camera button to select and power button to back, I like it.

i am not able to boot in cwm6 plzzze help me other wise u have done a great work :good::good::good::good::good:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aweosomeabhijeet:
What I'm thinking is....

Hey I think I'm porting a ROM from GB kernel that is why it isn't working.

But I'm thinking how about porting the same and update with kernel of XT532?

And we can also flash system of XT532 now, if we have a backup made with onandroid or CWM.

So that we would be having new kernel that would not cause any problems in porting because it is tough to find a phone like ours with froyo kernel.

port this to defyxt-535

hey please can you port this to defyxt-535 we dont have a physical camera button on our phone and the graphic is messed up still

and everytime to boot into bootmenu we have to create 97bootmenu manually can you please make install-recovery.sh compaitabble with our phone so that we need not to create it manually
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BTiwari:
u r right but what about bootloder i think it will stop to upgrade kernal
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aweosomeabhijeet:
No, We have upgraded the kernel successfully.I only require system.img of XT532 to test.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BTiwari:
then we have to ask 532 user to give system.img file :good::good::good:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dr. Hurt:
This is very strange, guys. I downloaded the CWM6 in the first post, installed it and rebooted and everything is working perfectly.

Are you guys using anything else in the init.d folder? Does 97bootmenu have the stop command?

Did you "erase" the entire old bootmenu folder then paste the new one?

Did you clear the cache partition?

Check permissions on every single script and binary in /system/bootmenu ( /recovery/sbin)

You should make sure all those things are done properly.

If it still doesn't work, try replacing the recovery.sh with the one attached below. (But this will cause phone to crash after backup, so you'll have to remove battery).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vvk30:
Stuck

CWM works great but it's still stuck at backing up system ...

I used U'r recovery.sh but no luck !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What should be the permissions of scripts ????
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aweosomeabhijeet:
I tried it too today. No success backup still stuck at /system for more than 45 mins.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dr. Hurt:
Try setting permissions manually using terminal emulator (from market):

su

mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock8 /system

busybox chmod -R 755 /system/bootmenu

busybox chown -R root.root /system/bootmenu (only try this one if above one doesn't work).

I think I found a way to boot system normally without having to erase 97bootmenu but I'll do that later once we fix the more important issues.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aweosomeabhijeet:
I will try it now.

Could you tell the way you found out?

Because I and andrewidya also found a way like defy.

But that would require a c programmer. And we would link to logwrapper and try to light up the led(like defy) that would be the time to press vol down (-)

And what are you thinking about?

Edit : Never mind it is not working after setting permissions too.

And could you tell me how you change the font size of the menus available in CWM?
