[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] boyheadkick:
are you running it on your phone?what phone do you have by the way?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] teddy0209:
Even if it's unlock bl, it doesn't change the fact that its not for our phone... Maybe it can be ported, but no one has done that yet... Some things won't work when you flash a rom for different device... Unlocking the bootloader doesn't mean you can install any rom you want even if it's not meant for your phone...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] boyheadkick:
Plus as far as i know, cross flashing roms could easily brick your phone..which is exactly why development forums are divided for various devices

how to read kernel version correctly...

Hi, I am using the current Anzu build of the FreeXperia Team Cyanogenmod10 FXP230 --> https://sites.google.com/site/projectfreexperia/download/cyanogen-mod-10

they say that the current kernel is 3.4

however when i enter uname -a in the Terminal

it tells me that the kernel is 2.6.32.9-FXP

in the settings menu in the about phone section, it tells me the above version too.

so how do I read the kernel version correctly?

Thanks in advance

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] teddy0209:
FXP says so in their changelog that the kernel in 230 is 3.4, you just have to believe them... Maybe they modified the name based on their modification version...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] boyheadkick:
I dont think FXP would be lying about what kernel they're using..but, he has a point though, it is somewhat confusing..

Hello Kabayans! :)

Ineed your hlep. I got a friend's Xperia Ion(not sure of the model number exactly) but for some reason they had it hard bricked. I read some of the troubleshooting steps provided and still no progress. Whenever I plug it in to either my PC or to a wall socket to charge it just gives me a Red LED and sometimes it tries to reboot by itself(I guess this is the part where some users say it's the bootloop part). I haven't tried disassembling the phone yet because it's very risky. Can someone help me out on this?

Thanks in advance and Mabuhay.

Hi All,

I just want to share this link that I found where you can Download the latest firmware:

LT26w_6.2.B.1.96_Nordic_1266-4530.ftf | 486 MB

Firmware Link: https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B2pTkbgq3_xORGlEVzhkNFBKV0U&export=download

Source: http://www.xperiaguide.com

I actually haven't tried it because I already flashed and currently using firmware:

Xperia Acro S_6.2.B.1.96_NORDIC (769M) which has a bigger file. I'm kinda busy right now so I haven't tried the smaller file but I will anytime from now. By the way, my bootloader is still locked and not yet rooted.

I just noticed, my contacts back up from previous firmware cannot be exported to this latest firmware version. It shows that it is truncated. Hope someone can help me.

Kindly delete the link if it is already posted in our forum.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] monovirus17:
I got the same problem before but resolved it. Try to download the stock firmware (.ftf) of your unit then flash it using flashtool. I did not disassemble my Acro S so no need for you to try that. Hope this one helps.

When I try to download .96 Acro S FTF, I get a .bin file instead. I think it's a Google Docs thing. Does anyone else get this kind of file? Is it OK if I just rename it to .FTF and flash it in Flashtools?

I know I can just go ahead and try it but I just wanna be sure I checked for someone with a similar problem.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ADDICT.ANK:
Whats the size of the file.

Just make sure that the size is same as ftf.

Or copy it then rename it to ftf the copied version and open it and see the contents.

Yes just flash the stock fw

And also use the combination before power+vol up.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] rocketlog:
Oh yeah, about the file size. I'm seeing two different versions one is 700+MB from the Generals section here, and the other is 400+MB from XperiaGuide.

With all this confusion, I'm thinking of just waiting for Trinity to finish the Acro S version of his ROM. I'm gonna flash it right over Stock anyway.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] teddy0209:
Mine is 700+mb, and its not ftf after I downloaded it, rather zip... It should be okay to rename and flash the 700+you downloaded... Just to make sure, try to extract it using winrar, if extraction is a success, then you should be fine...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ADDICT.ANK:

Awesome, thanks for the mirror. I've always had a bad time with GDocs downloads.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] monovirus17:
I agree that the 700+ file size is correct for the LT26w because I am currently using this firmware: Xperia Acro S_6.2.B.1.96_NORDIC.ftf (769M) coming from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=44914884 and flash it directly coming from ICS. In my opinion (and correct me if I'm wrong), the 769MB is the complete file package of the firmware (i.e. extracted the whole phone JB firmware directly from LT26w) while the 486MB is composed of update and bug fixes if you are coming from previous firmware version (i.e. coming from .200 or .211).

If you said that the 400+ is only for xperia s, then there is something wrong on the details posted on their website?

Below are the file sizes of the firmware:

LT26i_6.2.B.1.96_World.ftf | 485.3 MB

LT26i_Xperia_S_Jelly Bean 6.2.1.96_SEMC.ftf | 485.3MB

LT26w_6.2.B.1.96_Nordic_1266-4530.ftf | 486 MB

LT26ii_6.2.B.1.96_Singapore.zip | 477.89 MB

Sir just a question. how fast does your batt drain? mine drains from 100% full charge to 99-97% in a matter of seconds / minutes. Any suggestions?

i'm on mobile data but I think it's a bit too much for that fast of a drain. Sony service menu says I have good battery stats though. I am not rooted, and running on official firmware still since I do not want to waste my warranty. Please advice.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] rocketlog:
Battery life also depends on signal strength sometimes. If you're in an area with very strong cellular coverage, your battery will drain slower than when you are getting weaker signals. That's one thing to consider but that's just one of many.

Stock firmware seems to have a decent battery life. I used the stock 96 fw for a couple of days before the trinity ROM became available. I think the battery life was actually good.

I enabled the Extended Standby.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ADDICT.ANK:
Set the brightness to 40-60%. It will save a lot of battery. As display drains the batt. Much faster.

And clear the recent apps always.

And about getting from 99 to 90%. It happens faster due to the flow of charge particles.

Hi guys.

I'm new to this custom firmware thingy but since im quite disturbed on how laggy my phone is already, I decided to try custom roms.

So I did research everywhere and tried it myself.

To make it short.

Official firmware 4.1.2 jellybean .96

Unlock bootloader : yes

Rooted: yes

Installed cwm: yes

Downloaded roms such as cm11 4.4.4, paranoid android 4.4.2 and gaaps

Ticked debug mode, install from unknown etc.

Question is how do I do this?

Tried directly installing from cwm but to no avail. Phone doeant boot. (wiped everything btw)

Tried the flashing using flashtool fastboot mode but says failed. (flashed kernel from the zip file : boot.img included from the roms)

Btw if possible id still like the xperia look (xperia z,z1) qhay rom should I install?

Thank you and hope somebody can give me a step by step procedure. Thank you!

P.s. Question, should there be a window that pops up when I connect my phone in fastboot mode?
