What is the difference in yours and this one?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kantry123:
It's just a mirror
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] pirej:
Its the same zip just different names and host sites
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] amoutie:
Is it yours for LB? I'm sorry to ask you but I didn't find this information and I was wondering if it could fit my needs :D Could you point me a post with some changelog or others for your .89 Rom? If not possibile don't worry :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] pirej:
Its for locked and unlocked bootloader , and its stock firmware that has everything in it except it doesn't have the "Italian-TIM" branding and applications.

Same as .54 or .10 ... its just .89
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Mo3tasm:
is it rooted?..

sorry if this has been answered before, it's a long thread...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Kumczak:
yep, it's rooted already
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Mo3tasm:
i'm on TIM .89, not rooted, locked BL.. if i changed the .zip file extintion to .ftf, can i flash it through FlashTool??..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Kumczak:
rather not, but i don't know for sure...

the .89 inside .zip package from pirey is rooted, but you have to root your rom first to flash it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Mo3tasm:
You're right, the internal files structure is completely different from the one in ftf files, thanks anyway...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] pirej:
Yes the zip is different than the ftf, and it cannot be converted to ftf or flashed with flashtool.

You have to have rooted phone with installed cwm , and THEN you can install this or some other rom.zip using cwm.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] darkmist87:
Step by Step...

Noob question...

How to do above?

I am on B.1.54 rooted.

I have downloaded B.1.89 ZIP file - 301 MB.

Earlier, I have used ftf/kernal b.1.10 with flashtool and rooted and then again B.1.54 .

Will it make a difference if I use B.1.89 full ROM (300 MB or something ) or just using small ftf kernal (~5MB) around ?

----

How I go from here ... step by step.. ?

Rooted phone B.1.54..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] pirej:
Install CWM Recovery , put the rom.zip on you sd-card , boot in to cwm , do all the wipes (cache, dalvik, factory reset) then choose "install from zip" , choose the rom.zip from your sdcard , select install, wait for 5 minutes to install , reboot your phone.. DONE!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] darkmist87:
Can't boot in CWM recovery

I installed CWM recovery from laptop.

Put the rom.zip on SD card.

But not able to boot into CWM.

Do I need to install CWM app in phone and reboot from there?

I am simply using power button to restart the phone...

I restarted my phone and repeatedly pressed VOL Down key but nothing happens, phone reboots normally.

Does Unlocked bootloader compulsary?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] amoutie:
You should install CWM using the best guide that suits your need. I used http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1948455 . Then, when you boot your phone you should press ON + Vol Down buttons, the latter not just once, but pressing it continuosly until the led bar become blue (but here I may be wrong, it's been a while since I boot in recevory last time). Unlocked Bootloader is not compulsory!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] darkmist87:
Thanks!!

Thanks a lot [MENTION=5065706]pirej[/MENTION] [MENTION=4711321]amoutie[/MENTION] !!! :D

It worked fine !!

Going on test the performance !! :good:

So now I have CW recovery instead of Stock recovery? What difference will it make in future?

I can still use flashtool etc?

I can remove ROM.zip from my SD card, right ? :)

Added Thanks also :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Moaki:
Hi,

I'm currently using 6.1.1.b.1.89 and I followed all pirej his customisations (deleted bloatware, customisations, changed gps.conf)

After all was working well, I went to settings > Xperia > Download internet settings.

This corrupted my apn settings. everytime I try to open these settings it closes immediatly.

Can anyone tell me how i can fix this?

there are 2 files i tried to change already:

\system\etc\apns-conf.xml

\data\data\com.android.settings\shared_prefs\com.android.settings_preferences.xml

but, this has not solved my issue.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] aca89:
First of all make a backup. I had the same problem.

Download some sqlite editor from play store. Copy to internal memory and open with editor file

/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db

Delete all the rows that start with "tether" (three of them as I remember, tether_apn, tether_dun and one more). Copy back to original location and set permissions to match the other two files' permissions. Restart phone and done.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Moaki:
You sir have my thanks.

This did the trick!

Went to look at the settings.db file again, both entries are still missing... I guess they are not needed.

Thanks!

Thank you, its exactly what i looked for ;) Should i delete folders completly or just content? A little noob question, what are the advantages/disadvantages of .89 compared to .54 (generic stock rom)?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Mo3tasm:
i can't understand this ROM or even this mobile... after a lot of problems.. i reflashed, and just disabled the bloatware (since it's not rooted) and BANG, everything is working, even GPS, without modifying anything... this is driven me crazy..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Diego910:
To fix gps try with 54 baseband, two users already reported that it works.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mbiba:
I disagree, for me no change in GPS behaviour with 54 baseband, still the same - no fix during first minute... Other build like B.10 fix in couple of seconds... This makes this fw unusable, what a shame if everything else is perfect... :(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Diego910:
It works for a lot of people.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mpjoe2000:
A lot of people don't even know how GPS & A-GPS works. They already receive some data from satelites, GSM & wifi to fix your location. With that data they changed baseband, and when they try again this data has not been lost, this data now is completed to give you coordinates if you stay in the same place at the same connection conditions.

These people seems to hate knowledge.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assisted_GPS
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mbiba:
I don't think so!

Tested on 2 xperia's these things:

-root and also test with unrooted

-debloated (apps and settings, certificates)

-take control of APNs destroy all TIM settings from conf file or ovewrite the file with the one from pirej

-changing basebands to B54 and also B10

-changing kernels to B54, B10 (also simultaneously with basebands to find some good combination)

No success!!! With the best combination (Original kernel and baseband, deleted italian APNs and debloating via pirej) I can fix after one minute but fix have to be done with Be-on-road navigation and phone have to stay at the same place during that minute! If I tried to fix with anything else I use (Sport Tracker and so.), fix takes 15-60 minutes! -> unusable...

In the same conditins GB or fw B.10 after the flash without any tweaking etc GPS fixes within a couple of seconds everytime. When using GPS status and toolbox with build B.10 it is very hard to see the sattelites unfixed because the launch of this app is slower than fix itself :)

So I think the build B.89 has serious problems to handle GPS signal. Funny that even a user from Italy reported this.

I am not a beginner in flashing and tweaking android on xperia's but also I am not a geek so I am unable to get GPS working and I continue to use B.10 firmware, that is slower but 100% functional...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Diego910:
Yes it works man, at least in spain it works for most of people. I don't care why and i don't know it. I don't need any explanation, it works for some people from other forum amd i wanted to share.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] michel8:
Confirmed! GPS doesnt run and work properly on .89 ... so rolled back to stock .10
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mbiba:
OK, I am not attacking you :) My rage is against sony because of the fact that there is no fully functional and sufficiently quick ICS rom without lags available. While sony promised to upgrade xperia U in many countries there is still no update to ICS officially available...

FW89 is showing me that it is possible to publish the good rom, but the GPS...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dind84:
Same problem for me too. Fix in 15min and i'm from italy
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Slajder:
This firmware is real pain in the a.. I mean really, you need so much work to make it debloated and operational :rolleyes:

I had some problems with call logs, they were lagging a bit when they fill up a lot in .54 firmwire... But, I find that the best choice for me was installing .54 firmware and then just flashing back .89 kernel only... Cause there is no new app stuff there, only the kernel is newer (:

So, you can try my way and see if it's working (:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] fareed_xtreme:
Thanks for this post... Quite helpful. However, does this fix the Tethering or editing the Settings.db is still needed???
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] pirej:
Tethering should work without editing the Settings.db or any other tweak :)

And about the gps.. today i re-installed my original b.10 and... gps doesn't lock at all.. :(

EDIT: i made a stupid mistake :) i enabled only the "gps satelites" and forgot to enable the "Google's location service" hahaha

Everything is OK on b.10
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] michel8:
GPS must lock without Google Location Service! Using Google Location Service is not requered, it works over WiFi. I think its not GPS but Google Location Service delivers location data on your phone ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] pirej:
Just go to settings and see your self ;)

I have just take a Picture without any light and was quite fast. Much gaster than in 54.

Very simple.

Put the B.1.89 ftf on the flashtool.

Don't mark wipes and choose to exclude all except kernel. You can see that you have now only the kernel files (just like Xperia U_ICS 4.0.4 kernel_nu.ftf) . Flash and enjoy :)

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hackerpower:
My gps works fine in. 89, of course it takes a while to load/find the satellites positions of the day, but once it has locked them, the next time you use navigation or other software it will lock in a matter of seconds. For me it always been like this in every fw i've ever tried.

So i don't really understand all the complaints about gps not working in this fw.

Sent from Hacker's U via XDA app
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] michel8:
GPS is working, but it needs too much time for the first lock (about 10 minutes). It seems to be the issue of .89 fw only. All other fw have fast gps lock (about 10-12 seconds).
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hackerpower:
Sorry but i disagree, mine doesn't take 10 mins, it takes about 3-5 mins the 1st time.

And it took the same time to lock for the 1st time with all other fw.

Please read my reply above.

On my generic .54 fw i need 10 seconds for the first lock so 3-5 minutes are too long too ;)
