try to flash stock rom again with wipe data. then let it settle for 30 mins, then flash custom kernel via fastboot.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] alucard1423:
sure I'll try it boss.. hehe just red the previous post here were supposed to speak in English.. haha

thanks for the advise :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] alucard1423:
*just flash to .50 wipe data

*unlocked bootloader and already rooted..

boss i can't do it talga..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] :
Try to flash a stock kernel first, i.e. arakmar kernel, download the ics17.elf and flash it first on fastboot. After you flash it you'll be automatically rooted with recovery, no need to flash recovery.

Message back if you're still having problems.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] alucard1423:
can't even flash my kernel.. :(

is it okay that the way I root is like this??

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] :
May be this could help you, this is how I rooted mine.

- Unlocked my Boot loader

- Download Advanced ICS Kernel from Arakmar

- extracted the ics17.elf file

- reboot to fastboot

- pasted the kernel.elf file to the fastboot folder

- open cmd on the fastboot folder

- fastboot flash boot ics17.elf

- fastboot reboot

After the reboot I'm already Rooted with CWM that came with the kernel. You might want to try that. Hope that helps you out.

just wanna ask if this is right??

if I'm going to check if my bootloader is unlock i have to type this right?? *#*#7378423#*#*

then service info> configuration

Rooting status:

Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes

I don't seem to know what is the problem..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] :
Yes that means you're permitted to unlock your bootloader. Try unlocking it again and try the steps I posted and see if it works.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] soybi:
Hi, if you are going to flash a custom kernel, you have to unlock your bootloader first, and based on your service menu info. Your bootloader is not unlocked yet..if you are trying to flash a kernel and it says you are "not rooted", it just means your bootloader is not unlocked yet, be sure that you unlock bootloader and fastboot enabled, after flashing a custom kerbel you can "root" your ROM.

Sent from my Xperia Sexxeh
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] :
I'm using my own rom, but I was using CM9.1.0 before and that's the best for me for my XS, if you're a AOSP type of user and wants to be on a full android experience, better use CM, but if you like the feel of stock, try XTXperience, that worked for me also before. It's stable and fast. :D

Mga kuya at ate, is xperia s v6.1.A.2.55 latest can be rooted? Bin4ry v18 is not working on my xperia s... I just updated my firmware...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] :
Try this method, this worked for me.

1.) Unlock youre bootloader

2.) Flash a stock kernel(arakmar or Sspeed).

3.) Flash it using: fastboot flash boot boot.img(boot.img depends on what kernel you'll be downloading, you need to extract the .zip file in order to get the boot.img or kernel.elf, I know in Arakmar kernel it sas ics17.elf, but that was before when I rooted my phone. Don't know if he has updated it yet, but that's the way you extract the boot.img in the .zip file).

4.) After that do: fastboot reboot

5.) Check you're app drawer SuperSU or Superuser should be there. Try also to download root checker to verify that you're rooted.

By the way, that method is only if you want to unlock you're bootloader. ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] denslife16:
I think I have to wait for the updated restore with root by Bin4ry to root my xs, because flashtool is not working on my pc, I dont know why, if flashtool not working, i cant unlock my bootloader, ive installed Pc companion on my pc and my pc is reading my xs when i connect it via usb cable, but when my phone is turned off, my pc did not recognize my xs when connected to pc using flashtool, i tried unchecking usb debugging but still no luck... I think the specs of my pc is the problem, my pc's specs is low...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] :
Search this in youtube: how to unlock bootloader on Sony Xperia S by the Indian guy, look for the link at the description of the video and download the fastboot folders. Those files works.

Here try this: http://rapidlibrary.com/files/xperia-fastboot-drivers-zip_ulzwvbmxvbiyon.html

- download the file and put it on a folder

- turn off device

- open device manager

- hold volume down button then plug usb cable

- once you see something pop up to install drivers, choose look for drivers manually then look for the downloaded fastboot drivers

- just follow the process and you'll be fine. ;)

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] raffraff013:
guys im also a filipino, i just got my ACRO S and i noticed my RAM is only 600mb is this really the default ROM, if i look at the phone mem its more than 1bg. sorry cant provide Screenshot coz my phone is not yet rooted please help on this
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] :
From my point of view, the 600RAM that you have is the free remaining memory from you RAM, so if it's 1G RAM, it ate up 400MB of RAM.

But, that's just my point of view.. :o
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] raffraff013:
thanks for your point of view ill root my phone now so that i can post a screenshot. because when i go to running apps it shows 482mb used and 156mb free w/c means im only using at least 600mb for the RAM
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] raffraff013:
i already took a screenshot of my RAM here
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] denslife16:
Sir, what will I do with this? Just asking cuz i dont want to brick my xs, thanks in advance
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] :
You need to install it first on your computer, transfer that file into your desktop, then after that turn off your phone then press and hold the volume down button then plug the usb cable, once its plugged the led light will turn green and your computer will ask you to install the appropriate driver, once your on that option, navigate to the folder where you saved it in your desktop and install it.

Once its successfully installed, do the power off and volume down plus plug the usb cable to your device, then once it stays green, then your driver is successfully installed. After that, navigate to the folder and look for fastboot, if your using windows 7, right click inside the folder and choose open command prompt here. Then type this inside the command prompt: C:/fastboot devices, if that command shows a bunch of numbers underneath the thing that says devices, then your device is successfully detected in fastboot mode. After that, extract the kernel that you downloaded then copy the boot.img file or kernel.elf and paste it inside the fastboot folder, once your done pasting it. Type this command on C: prompt, fastboot flash boot boot.img/kernel.elf, it will show something that it's currently installing it, once it's done, type this, fastboot reboot. Then if your device reboots, check your app drawer, tou should see superSU or Superuser threre. Then your rooted. Whew! :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] :
You're 2nd pic shows your available RAM and how much usage does your installed apps are eating, so if I think is correct the you'll not really getting the 1G RAM because it's being allocated to the ROM, if you add up the used and unused, that's what's you have left. But again, that's just what I think it is. It might not be accurate so try to research more also. :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] denslife16:

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] godarnnit:
Hey hey hey! XAS user from QC here. Hope everyone's doing great.

I'm totally new to the Android experience and with the help of my more experienced sister, I rooted my phone and installed CM 10 stable on it.

Here are some of my observations:

1. CM 10 seems to have issues with the external SD card. When you boot to recovery and try to reformat the card, it says it's unable mount the card though the files can still be read. In other words, I cannot format the SD card from the phone itself.

2. Battery consumption seems to have increased a bit. I've set the CPU governor to conserve battery but it's still consuming more battery than I can recall

3. The camera lost the ability to have its ISO set manually.

4. Shadowgun: Dead zone's graphics shows ghosting (not sure how to call it exactly).

5. My antutu score decreased from around 7k (if I remember it right) to just above 6k

I'm hopeful that future improvements with CM will be able to address these issues, but I'm considering going back to stock as of the moment.

If you folks have solutions to the issues I've identified, I'll be glad to try them out over the weekend with my sister.

Thanks for the reply. I'll see if other ROMs are 'hiyang' for me first. If not, I'm happy with the stock version. The only reason I tried CM was I thought it would give my phone a bit of a boost in speed. BTW, to the poster asking about NFC, I think NFC may not be designed to transfer huge amounts of info like Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. There's some good vids about NFC on YouTube

I was surfing the net then I stumbled upon sulit looking for the current price of our device, and upon searching, I didn't know that there's a lot of people that are having a profit in Unlocking bootloaders, rooting android devices and installing Custom ROMS. They are Ranging from 300 - 500php. That was a nice business even though it only has a small profit. But, the nicest thing there is, a lot of our kababayan's are really into Android devices, and upon seeing the posts there, they're a lot of people really looking to have their Android device rooted, thanks to the people who make a profit out of rooting services, a lot of our kababayan's are getting exposed on how rooting benefits their Android devices.

That's the bad thing about it. Ranging 300 - 500? Oh come on. Those developers who made rooting possible on several phones just gave it away for free. -_-. I rather price it with 100-200php but I just root for free and several stuffs.

For unlocking bootloader, you can flash custom rom via cwm recovery, for flashing kernels it will improve the performance of your device
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kulapips:
A quick google search would provide tons of detailed anwers but in a nutshell, unlocking lets you take full control of your device like uninstalling bloatware, flashing custom roms, extending battery life, increased performance and full customization via themes on a native level.

If you unlock your phones bootloader, you can flash custom kernel.. with custom kernel you can do overclocking and undervolting. init.d supprt for scripts..

With custom kernel you can flash any rom that matches it...

i.e: FXP-CM roms has its own custom kernel..

Beware that unlocking bootloader will wipe your DRM keys..
