Hi all,

Just find something...

Downloaded the latest Sony xperia s rom 6.1.A.2.55 installed it than when i tried to root with it failed so got an idea...

Took me a few hours and a lots of trial and error and re flashing to finally get it.

This is what i did to get ROOT. :p

Step 1, Download my zip and copy on your phone . I only created the zip and the script and used su binary from my saved rom and the supersu apk :D

Step 2, Download the rom 6.1.A.2.55 (you can google for it)

Step 3, Download and flash Advanced Sock kernel http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1729280 and flash it. Do not reboot into the OS (I don't know if it can cause problem but when i did, my was constantly rebooting.)

Step 4, Start recovery and flash my zip MYSUPUBLIC.zip it will flash the CWM Recovery is well

Step 5, Flash back the Stock 6.1.A.2.55 kernel.sin

Step 6, Reboot and enjoy :victory:

Can it root locked bootloder? With same fw.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] theasters:
No
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] donottouch:
No, you need to be unlocked to flash different or 3rd party custom kernel.

Would like to create my custom kernel, but i always end up no boot state :-o...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Static-Noise:
Respect. Thanks for your contribution.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] pcarvalho:

And thanks for anyone who's programs i used.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] pcarvalho:
b4 sharing it should be tested... sent u a PM...

this is just a theory... i dont even know if it would work...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] pcarvalho:
ive already got kernel and baseband from .55 running on .50 sys

all i need now is the .55 (already rooted) cmw backup 2 flash and test...

is a theory alright :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] donottouch:
It would work... Try to upload when i get home. The. 55 looks snappy and stable. Took it from charge @6am constant online, and battery is %50 now
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] leonbarroso:
works here

but I didnt flashed the stock kernel back (my option)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] donottouch:
Its your choice... I prefer stock kernel. Because the 55 Rom using new kernel.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] donottouch:
when i upload my backup you could try if got cwm installed.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] precardo:
You guys suck man, why dont you just provide us with some download link of the latest .55 firmware instead of telling us to google it??
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] donottouch:
Is on XDA file server that's where i get it from.

There you go... :rolleyes:

i have now (finally) a rooted .55 rom using the zip (sys part that i didnt have) from this topic

my theory was right :D

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=34467423&postcount=10

now all i need is an original sys (that one was modded and deodex'd) to get original .55 on my system
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] donottouch:
Last when i tried deodexing my droid 2 global i killed poorly droid. :crying: took me 4 hour to get it work again with the latest .629 rom... and rooted.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] pcarvalho:
people with locked bootloader dont need it deodexed so a copy of a original sys with root and CWM in it is enough to get a full .55 rooted rom...

cheers
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] precardo:
donottouch thank you for the download like man, ...thats what im talking about

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] SnowOokami:
I just did your stuff and it seems to be booting :good:

one question: how do I get in the recovery? the led doesn't show up at the beginning or should I just press volume up anyway?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] :
When booting and see Sony logo just tapping on the screen will get you there.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Chxrlyglez:
Did you say we can have root in .55 firmware with locked bootloader??

If yes, what are the steps to do that?

I'm confused

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] pato66:
only you can do return to 50 or 45 now root and after flash kernel and baseband
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] :
Use Bayfiles for uploading :) upload in image not ftf
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] :
If you coming from other rom i think the safest to restore to stock. .45 or .50

If stock, just follow that to get root http://www.xda-developers.com/android/new-root-method-released-for-xperia-s-devices-with-locked-bootloaders/

then use the rom tosha.th created http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2005595

this should get you on the track :D

I've got the AT&T SGH-I317, ver 4.1.1 - but there's no Multi-Screen option available. (At least not that I can find.) Friend of mine at work has a Sprint Note II, ver 4.1.1 and his has a Multi-Screen option.

Anyone know if/when this feature will be rolled out for AT&T phones? Or am I missing where to toggle it on?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] RedCrow101:
This feature hasn't been rolled out to our phones yet. Hopefully it comes soon or is built into a ROM.

[Nook Touch General] roustabout:
Just caught the BN support page for the Nook Touch devices.

BN is rolling out a software update, version 1.2.0, which will apply to both the NST and NSTG.

http://www.barnesandnoble.com/u/Software-Updates-NOOK-Simple-Touch/379003175

From what I'm reading, it sounds like this software was preinstalled for devices in the UK, and that the current generation of rooting tools will need to be looked at again.

I'll test tonight, but from what I've read about the UK experience, Tinynoot should work, I'm not sure how eded's tool will do, and the UK folks already have a viable root with a few more tweaks built in.

On the whole, I think it's great that there's a common software stack since we'll see fewer folks blowing out their devices.
[Nook Touch General] jeff_kz:
A quick comparison between the published 1.2.0 and the extracted 1.2.0 factory.zip from the UK nooks shows that the system files are identical between the two systems, with the only differences being in non-application spots like build.prop definitions, boot/shutdown images, dictionaries, license agreements, and the wifi config uses AT&T instead of B&N hotspots.

From experience, the 1.1.5 rooted uRamdisk works just fine with 1.2.0, so any minimal rooting methods for 1.1.5 will continue to work with 1.2.0. Rooters that muck about with replacing framework.jar and such will need to be updated accordingly with patches for the new binaries.
[Nook Touch General] AvRS:
Please don't post general discussion topics in Development. It's only for sharing development you're working on.

Thanks

Wasup guys, I'd like, if possible of course, an flashable zip with Jelly Bean icons not a "theme icon", I'd like the original ones!! Or a easy (i'm serious.. should be easy because i'm a noob!) way to change the icon directly on APK file but the problem is I'm a Mac user, theres's some apps you use that i can't use on my MacBook Pro!

That's it, thank you all.

Thanks! Another question, where can i find the icon's preview?

EDIT: I saw the video on youtube, so "everything" is gonna be blue?

EDIT 2: It works fine, but the Gallery icon and Contacts icon doesn't change! Is there anyway I can edit the zip contents and install after that?
[Nexus 10 General] lviv73:
I have a two year old son that loves to play eith my S2 and S3's phones.Im looking to get a tab and its ether gonna be Nexus or Ipad 4.If it was for me alone it would be a Nexus without a question.But i want my son to use it and as everyone knows that android really lacks good apps for children(i have tryed almost all of them),and ipad has way better apps for children.

But im going to be using it too to play emulators and movies.My question is how much worse is ipad compared to Nexus?I dont want to dish out $500 for a piece of crap that is only good for children's apps.I know there is no roms for ipad but is there any custimization like themes and deleting system apk's?

Ok to make it short,anyone here that owned both and can tell me is ipad actually that much worse the Nexus or other android tabs?
[Nexus 10 General] cwoodard73:
We are an Android (me) and Apple (husband) household. We have a 4 year old gadget lover. As much as it pains me to say it, there are WAY more children's apps in the Apple world :( Some really very nice ones. So he uses my husband's old Ipad 1 and an iPod Touch. Having said that, there is one cool thing about Android and kids. You can get some nice apps that create a sandbox on your device that keeps them in a very kidsafe environment with access to only the apps you want them to play with. No access to system settings, etc. Famigo, Kid Mode by Zoodles. iPad doesn't let you use apps like that. And with the new multi-user logins with 4.2 it makes it even easier to keep your stuff separate from kid's stuff.

I have no experience with the emulators, can't help you there. Playing movies should be fine on either device. iPad is a good piece of hardware. Very stable. If you jailbreak them you can do more customization with them, but I think there is still no jailbreak for the latest version of ios on the new iPads? I might be a touch out of date on that.
[Nexus 10 General] lviv73:
Thanx,i think im gonna sacrifice and get Ipad for my son,who knows maybe i end up liking it.Im a android fan and owned iphone 3g and 3gs it seems like they did not ipmrove much on the software side only the hardware.
[Nexus 10 General] cwoodard73:
That is my impression of ios. It feels old, outdated. Even my husband is starting to make "Android is looking good" noises and has been using my old Nexus 7 more and more it seems. But, it works. It's stable.
[Nexus 10 General] rookiegenius:
to be honest, once the ipad is jailbroken, it's a real beast with lots of awesome tweaks, and ROm does not exist in the iOS world. also way more cool apps on the ipad. if you're new to the ipad, you will love it. But to me, the UI is extremely boring since it doesn't change at all. I favor the nexus 10.
[Nexus 10 General] cwoodard73:
have you considered picking up an older ipad for your son? Like an ipad2? I'm not sure how much they are going for right now, so no idea if that's reasonable. But then you could still get your Nexus :p Or just get him an iPod Touch for now? Those aren't that expensive.
[Nexus 10 General] e.mote:
>That is my impression of ios. It feels old, outdated.

That's the main beef against iOS, being stale. Now that Forstall (iOS ex-chief dude) got the axe and Ive bud taking over, things should get lively again. With Android's market-share munching this was inevitable anyway, with or without regime change.

@OP, why not the Mini for kiddie tyke? Cheaper, and much easier for toddler types to handle. Or Nexus 7. Frankly, for 2-yr munchkin I'd go for a cheapie like a Nook Color, slap CM on it and find some freeware doo-dads for babysit function. Handing a $500 device to somebody not even potty-trained doesn't strike me as good sense. Then again, my opinion of 2-yr bio-bombs is probably not as high as the respective parents'. Must...give...him...best...means...to...unleash...his...creative...genius. Yeah, OK.

>Or just get him an iPod Touch for now? Those aren't that expensive.

Don't look now, but...
[Nexus 10 General] cwoodard73:
Oh yeah! I spaced on the Mini. That would be perfect. Kinda want to get one of those for my son for Christmas... but since hubby will want an iPad 4 sometime soon... I guess he'll just get the iPad 3 hand me down eventually.
[Nexus 10 General] notfaded1:
I think it depeds on the type of kid...

and age really. I agree about the 2 year old... but if u have an older creative, science loving kid I can see android being the only way to go. Oh and ur avatar is pretty cool :^}
[Nexus 10 General] lviv73:
Yes i did considered ipad2 and ipad3 but they are so expansive that i might as well add $150-200 dollars and get a new one.Apple crap stays expansive eve after 2-3 years,lol.
[Nexus 10 General] lviv73:
He currently has Epic Touch 4g that i gave him after he threw it in a toilet about 6 moths ago(he past that stage now),i took it apart,dryed it out,cleaned it with alcohol and it still worked!!It worked except one minor thing,the power button does not work.I can use the power button only to turn on the phone but after that it does not work,only way to unlock the screen is to plug it in,receive a call or battery pull and restart.All this made it useless as a phone but its still good as a toy because it just stays on all the time.

He just got borred with all these childrens apps on android because they are not that good.

And im not spending $500 on a tab just for him,you better believe that im gonna be using it more then him,lol.I just call it asacrifice because if it was justbfor me then i would get an android tab.Ipad has VLC and that all that matters,i just wish it had 16:9 ratio,why apple got 4.3 ratio?idk.

I guess i will get the ipad for now and wait to get an android tab until Amoled tabs become cheaper.Im a huge fan of Amoled and own Epic,Epic Touch and two GS3's-i refuse to buy a phone without amoled screen.I thought about Toshiba Excite 7.7 but the devolopment for it on xda is nonexistent.
[Nexus 10 General] lviv73:
Agreed back in my days of ingnorance when i owned iphone 3gs,there are some things you can do to speed up ios and improve the battery life like removing about 1GB of unused languges,some libraries and more.

Now that i got some theeming expirience im gonna try to theme ios.There is proboly alot of things you can do with ios like theeming but the iphone crowd probably is not tech knowledgeble enough or just dont care about things like that.
[Nexus 10 General] e.mote:
>And im not spending $500 on a tab just for him,you better believe that im gonna be using it more then him,lol.

No I get ya. It's a bonding thing, doing some common activities with kiddie tyke. Familial stuff. Back in the day, we'd get one of these and be happy with it. But times have changed I guess.

Call me counter-culture, but I would not give a tablet to a kid in the formative stage. People care so much about getting their kids' attention that they inadvertently help to make it worse, by exposing the kid to more and more distractive things. Before we have the boob tube. Now it's a portable (and interactive) boob tube, aka tablet. The Internet is a great learning tool, but it's also the worst in destroying people's ability to maintain focus. For toddlers, it's akin to handing them an MP3 player with the volume on full blast. You're helping your kid to get ADD.

OK, just one person's opinion. Why worry about some crank on the net, when we can rely on conventional wisdom, eh? I'm sure an iPad (or some tablet) is a fine learning tool. Lots of people are giving kids tablets nowaday as Xmas presents. Hey, if everybody is doing it, it must be OK, right?

But you must realize what his first online achievement will be, right? Sure, give him a couple more years, but dollars to donuts that the first thing kiddie learns will be to find a pron site. Yep, nekkid wymun is the Holy Grail. That hasn't changed, I don't think?

Yes, this crank would probably get kiddo a tablet, an Etch a Sketch. It'll teach him patience along with hand-eye coordination. And if he turns out to be the next artist extraordinaire, then he can give an indication with something like the below.

[Nexus 10 General] locoboi187:
I have the Nexus 10. You'll be bored of it, even with custom ROMs. I'm giving it to my brother and getting the iPad 4. Nexus 10 is nice and all, but just isn't there for me as a tablet.
[Nexus 10 General] Tomatoes8:
I had an iPad 3 and loved it, but I just can't support them really. $499 tablet and 100 billion in the bank and still suing people. They could do a lot more for customers like giving us better prices but they don't and price the outdated iPad mini at 329.
[Nexus 10 General] mi7chy:
No comparison. Even the thew iPad4 with iOS 6.0.1 is a dumbpad. Tried using it but it's limited and restrictive like trying to draw with an etch a sketch. Wanted to throw it against the wall.
[Nexus 10 General] lviv73:
Im with you on this.Im a fan of OSX(probably only good thing they have) and wanted Mac Mini for my htpc but all this suing and the fact that i waited for them to beef up GPU to at least 512mb so i could play Civilization 4,what did they do instead?Gave us a new mac mini without a dedicated gpu option at all.

Even the osx is not that great anymore sinse Lion,SN Leopard was solid and other osx's was good.But Lion ui looks bland and grey and they are making it more like ios.Im gonna go with windows 8,because i dont want to support them and they lack good products.

I will still get the ipad though because educational apps for my son outweigh my person needs,im sure i will have some fun with it too and see if i can at least theme ios or change ui colors.
[Nexus 10 General] lviv73:
Thats why its good for two year olds,lol.
[Nexus 10 General] hungry81:
What is even better for two year olds is not buying them apple junk. At best they will think you are financially irresponsible and not to be trusted with money matters. At worst you are giving them a giant head start into hipsterville. Apple products for children should be classified as a form of child abuse
