I got a question. 1) You say to flash Spersprort (recommended rom) Is it possible to flash the recommended rom with locked bootloader?

And another one 2) Is it possible to downgrade from JB to ICS for Xperia V, if yes could you please explain how? I flashed to JB and lost root access and now trying to make it work great without unlocking bootloader.

Thanks in advance.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Wan932:

Im not sure whats the reason of the issue, but here are sth you can try:

- Flash stock JB system rom before flashing supersport

(Rom provided by Chinese fd,iovf : https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B9iGSvwMcY8sRTdncUhraEtSVTg/edit?usp=sharing)

No root access when only flash this, so have to flash supersport afterward.

mind giving step by step guide..? :laugh:..having trouble here, got bootloop at sony logo
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Emberlificote:
The only thing is the step 1 added. So you got the whole story of mine.

I got root access

although I had to restore settings and files from a backup created as I had to make full wipe.

(It happened cause I flashed over rooted ICS - nonrooted JB, I lost root access, found this instruction. The requirement is to have rooted ICS 4.0.4, so I had to downgrade, but stuck in continious reboot. Did full wipe and it worked, you may not require full wipe. GasaiYuno also noted that wipe should be used in case you started up Jelly Bean system before going through this instruction. You should note that ICS back up won't be applied in JB in backup & restore app - it's only compatible with ICS, so try using another backup)

Requirement;

rooted 4.0.4 with locked bootloader (Rooting)

CWM for Xperia V ICS (CWM)

Make a backup copy that is compatible with JB

1. Flash stock JB rom in CWM (XperiaV-JB.zip)

This step is

probably!

, not required, yet it is to be checked. Firstly I tried without this step and my phone got continuous reboot. When you flashed the stock JB rom do not reboot the device and proceed to step 2.

2. Flash JB rom in CWM - Xperia V Supersport JB is recommended (Xperia.V.Supersport.JB.V1.zip)

You can use another rom, but I haven't noticed any problems with this one so far. Do not reboot the device and get right to next step.

3. Flash fix for CWM (Xperia.CWM.Fix.zip)

Do not turn on your phone. You can push reboot in CWM and when the screen is off pull out the battery. Only then the next step.

4. Flash stock kernel 9.1.A.0.490 FTF in Flashtool (LT25_SXV_Stok_Kernel_9.1.A.0.490_Dogsly.ftf) thanks to, Dogfly

After rebooting, your phone will be in android 4.1.2 with SU in locked bootloader,

However, CWM will not work anymore, have to wait for CWM for JellyBean,

About step 2:

After applying CWM fix, if anything goes wrong, you can flash back any XV ICS kernel, and boot into CWM.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Wan932:
nice mate, will try later..:victory:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] chansom:
Sorry my steps are not so clear,

continue flash the rom without reboot is a key procedure,

and maybe stock JB is also needed,

Works flawlessly. My LT25i came out of the box with ICS.

I then used this method (which was a pain in the *$$ because my phone didn't like flashmode):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2101173

When I tried to install CWM using the following method, but I had no clue how to get into CWM. It has been reported that this is not working for LT25i:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2012738

I then flashed LT25_SXV_Stok_Kernel_9.1.A.0.490_Dogsly.ftf, which caused my phone to get stuck in bootloop

I just remember trying to get back to flashmode, when I suddenly found my device booted up in CWM, so it must have involved the (hardware) volume down button.

After booting in CWM I had no access to my storage. External storage could not be mounted and there was an error when trying to connect the phone using CWM as a storage device.

I ended up in reflashing ICS, putting all my needed files on the internal storage (!) and retrying with my fingers crossed.

When in CWM again (the second time I tried pushing random hardware buttons and I had to try multiple times), I successfully followed the steps in this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2138298)

I am now running a rooted JB with

Sent from my JB-Powered Xperia V
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Jumpkid:
I am not sure about CWM still running, because I still have no clue how to enter it on the LT25i.

By pressing the volume down button, keeping it pushed or stay pushing, my phone vibrates and a blue led will turn on.

But I remember that for access, the 'Xperia' screen should not pop up yet and a green led will turn on after the blue led.

So I would rely on what the OP says:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] thetitans89:
So can you tell us how can you enter CWM mode? "keeping it pushed or stay pushing"?

I've tried many times but it didn't work.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Jumpkid:
Re: [Root] Xperia V with locked boot loader

@Music Info question: Still working. I have encountered zero problems sir.

@CWM info: I am not sure. I think having the phone connected to a PC is part of the trick (I've successfully entered CWM five times on the LT25i, but only by being connected by data cable). And it's a combination of the three hardware buttons, of which the volume down button plays the biggest role for sure.

You can try to connect the data cable, keep pressing volume down key repeatedly (the phone will vibrate for an instance and a blue led will turn on), and then repeatedly press all the hardware buttons until the blue led will turn green. If the phone shows the 'Xperia' logo, remove battery and try again. Every successful attempt came after multiple failed attempts.

The first time I entered CWM was by 'mistake'/coincidence/act-of-God. I tried to access flashmode (put in battery, connect charge/datacable, press power button and repeatedly press volume down button) and when the Sony logo popped up, I pressed all the buttons randomly out of frustration.

Forgive me for this complicated information. Hope this helps.

The correct way to enter CWM is by turning your phone on.

When the SONY logo appears, press the power button until the phone vibrates and the blue led turns on

When the blue led turns on, tap on the

volume down

button until the blue led turns green and be patient for a few seconds

Because I didn't wipe anything, I got an FC of NFC. And it pops up all the time, so I can't do anything.

What I did to solve it is clicking OK and going to System -> Backup n Restore and do a facroty reset at the same time. It keeps CWM and ROOT!

Hi everybody,

I've recently updated my HTC One S to 4.1.1 OTA from Fido and since then I've been having issues staying connected to 4G. Phone is completely stock, has never been rooted. A factory reset has already been done, as well as wiping the cache partition, with no results.

Monitoring the network strength using the network signal info app has shown that I'll be connected to edge, when forcing to HSPA it'll connect, get a signal of about -80 dbm at 4G, then slowly degrade to total signal loss. Switching back to HSPA/GSM will bring edge back at full strength. I've tried this in areas where I've been at full strength pre-update and can barely manage half strength post-update. Also of note, the radio version is reported as unknown.

If anybody has any ideas as to why this is happening and any possible solutions, they are greatly appreciated. Being next to speakers and having them go crazy because of the edge signal is something I don't miss one bit
[HTC One S] booenson:
Bumping this. Unfortunately I still have the problem and my carrier (Fido) says that everything is working properly on their end. Because I've rooted my phone and loaded TrickDroid I'm kind of SOL in the warranty department. I take it that trying a different rom would probably have no effect? In areas I know have good 3G reception, it'll either connect and slowly degrade to edge, or just won't connect at all
