As the title says looking for a tpu bumper case. Preferably with the buttons cut out.

Seems to be a ton of aluminum ones but true bumper style (no back) seem few and far between. Especially without the stupid antenna hole
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] randpost:
GL, let me know when you find your unicorn.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] JohnnyRocks:
Wow. A VERY helpful post.

And, out of curiosity, what, precisely, is so unreasonable or absurd about his request? Namely, a TPU bumper without an antenna cutout (an antenna which apparently is ONLY available in tiny little Korea and nowhere else in the world) with button cutouts (a preference but apparently not a requirement from the looks of his post)?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] GTvert90:
If the buttons lined up fine and doesn't need a whole lot of pressure to work the buttons vs uncovered I wouldn't mind. But a few of the cheap cases don't line up and make it more difficult.

But I spent over an hour the other night and I think I found 1 maybe 2. But they didn't do much for me.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Souai:
why not just find a TPU case that you like and bust out the scissors?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] randpost:
That antenna is available in other countries also, like Japan. Not just Korea (not sure if the antenna is even used in Korea.) Don't assume and then post as a fact.

I never called his idea or desire absurd as you say, I just know it doesn't exist.

I've spent hours looking for a decent tpu bumper. I've purchased 2 and they are terrible. A good tpu bumper does not exist for the note 2. That's why I called it a unicorn.

I would sincerely like to know if he finds this item, since I would like one also.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] KB112:
I tried it and it was a failure. Lol A designed/molded one has a finished edge on the lip. This keeps it somewhat rigid and adds strength. When I cut one it got all floppy and flimsy. Didn't work well.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] GTvert90:
That's what I was thinking as well
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] l0ozi:

looks like it doesnt have the antena cutout
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] GTvert90:

I know I know unicorn. But I figured a bump couldn't hurt
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] EP2008:
I just got this case in today. Feels nice. I got it because I wanted the back of my phone to be exposed so it can cool off better when gaming. I'm use to tpu cases, so this is an interesting change. Looks good on my grey Note 2.

http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00ALRUE2G/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] GTvert90:
Still has stupid antenna cut out... With my luck that is the corner it will lands on.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] EP2008:
Yeah, I'm slightly worried about that too, but if you think you'll be dropping it, a heavy duty case will likely serve you better. I use a case to avoid scratches and not really for drop protection, which seems to fall in the realm of luck/bad luck.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] GTvert90:
Good point. I had a tpu case on my gs3 and it was enough protection. Until I ran it over with a pallet jack. I just want a little protection. I have the heavy duty case from cruzerlite at the moment. But wanted to try something else
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Canadoc:
does it come in a different colour? white on grey is not my favourite combo
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] EP2008:
I believe it's only in a white/black hybrid. It's not terrible looking on the grey note 2, but I do often go for black cases if given a choice.

[HTC Inspire 4G] ajc1234:
I use a lot of ICS and Jellybean roms and ingress works for me and when I check google play's page for Ingress it says it is downloadable. So I would think that the answer to your question is yes but I am not 100% sure so if I am wrong sorry.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Abhinav1997:
Since Sony deleted the rooting guide from it's website that's why I'm making this new guide. If I have done something wrong so moderators, please remind me and i'll delete the guide.

Rooting your mobile may void the warranty and you are doing it at your own risk. Sony(and me) would be in no way responsible for any damage.

How to root 4.0.4(4.1.B.0.587)

Follow all the steps please

Go to settings > Security > Mark "Unknown sources"

Settings > Developer options > Mark USB debugging

Settings > Xperia > connectivity > USB connection mode > select MSC mode

You should have Flashtool

1 ) Download the respective 4.1.A.0.562 kernel to flash

Arc and Arc S - Kernel

Ray - Kernel

Neo/Neo V - Kernel

LwW, Mini - Kernel

All other users - Kernel or even try the kernels for Arc S and Ray

2) Go to C:/ Drive > flashtool > firmwares > delete everything present and Put the kernel

3) Run Flashtool click on the flashing icon ( left side below "file" option)

Select flashmode > ok

Setup should be like this > select OK

Follow the steps connect your mobile and flash.

( Make sure you close flashtool before running the rooting toolkit )

Now connect your mobile to PC and Root Your Phone

If you face problem in downloading the toolkit then here it is Rooting Toolkit

After running the toolkit disconnect the phone from USB, pull out the battery, wait for 10 sec, insert the battery back, hold vol down button and then connect to USB and connect USB to pc.

5) Download the respective kernel for your phone.

Arc S -KERNEL

Arc -KERNEL

Ray -KERNEL

Neo -KERNEL

Neo V -KERNEL

Mini -KERNEL

Pro-KERNEL

Live With Walkman -KERNEL

Mini Pro -KERNEL

Active -KERNEL

Now flash the kernel ( same procedure as step 2 and 3 above )

Now enjoy you rooted phone :)

FAQs:

Q Do i need to unlock the bootloader prior to rooting ?

A No

Q My bootloader is unlocked, can i still root my phone ?

A This method works for both, locked and unlocked bootloader.

Q My bootloader unlocking allowed status is No, can i still root my phone ?

A Yes

Q Will rooting erase all data on phone memory ?

A Nopes. But if anything goes wrong, you may need to repair your phone using PC Companion which would erase all data. So better backup important stuff.

Re: [GUIDE] Rooting Xperia 2011 devices with ICS(4.1.B.0.587)

Rooting doesn't voids warranty...

unlocking bootloader does... :silly:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Abhinav1997:
"Rooting may void warranty" is written in sony's site so I mentioned it here too...:)

Actually i didn't find any guide on this topic except mihahn's who provided the link which was deleted and dragonclawsaresharp's guide is for 4.1.b.0.431 and someguyfromhell's guide is of full downgrade but nowhere of 4.1.b.0.587 with kernel trick.....if u find one in this forum please send me and i'll delete this guide.:)

First install pcc, connect your phone first normally and then in flashmode and let it install all drivers.

Then close pcc and in c drive go to flashtool->drivers and install flashtool-drivers.exe.

Then do the whole process again

how long is rooting supposed to take and what messages should be on screen?

I have flashed the kernel as explained and started the doomlord tool.

this was about 10 minutes ago.

my phone goes repeatedly dark and then the screen lights up again. The last thing the doomlord tool did was "* daemon started successfully *" and then nothing. The windows-computer sometimes makes a "bing" noise.

is this supposed to happen?

or should this go faster?

and should I be seeing messages in the dosbox where the doomlord tool is running?

that is a nice collection of tutorials.. but u c, me or any one else for that matter, would be interested in a one step rooting method like the doomlords toolkit, and he upgraded it to root Xperia P latest JB, which does not require downgrading. so i was wondering if that would work for xperia ray as welll, without downgrading..

Also, does this method have a unroot tool that you can use?

were you able to root using e-root on gingerbread? can you provide me with a link for english version of this software?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Axenvolt:
As per my knowledge there is no English version of this app,cause this app is made by Chinese developers. And I've heard that this app don't harm ur phone, if ur phone is detected by the app then click on the root button, be sure that you've checked the box at the left down corner, I think it is accepting the terms and conditions.

Hey,

I tried more than one day to root my ST17i following exactly the tutorial, great thanks for them, but ended up allways with some errors (eroot didn't work, flashtool showed errors, rooting tool showed errors). My solution was as well for the downgrading the kernel for the Ray, mentioned above.
