HELP

Hi! I've a problem while installing the ROM, I flashed the boot.img because I had "Error status 7" but I forgot to put the .zip into the internal storage; I tried to mount USB storage with CWM but nothing happens, the phone says USB Mass Storage device but in the computer it doesn't appear, I tried pushing the .zip via adb but it doesn't work neither, any idea?

EDIT:

I tried to flash .55 stock firmware with Flashtool and got an error:

29/051/2013 19:51:12 - ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CODE="0019";ERR_DYNAMIC="SIN header verification failed";

Data work in 3G mode/automatic, but not in 2G only. Anyone else got it?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] camperkc:
i'm not sure if it is a bug.

When headphone is plugged in, if I try to switch on the screen, the screen just flashed for the 1st press of power button. I have to press the power button again in order to switch the screen on.

No problem when headphone is unplugged.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ishaan6698:
it happened with me also

just try to flash it again and again

and it will flash
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] guidoido004:
Have you guys tried to install the zip through fastboot? I think the command is "fastboot flash update update.zip"

So as you may have noticed, the zip must be renamed to update.zip xD

I had this installing issues, so I downloaded the Rom again, installed ICS, and then reinstalled JB as DoomLord told to do. :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] udelgadochio:
Hi! Thanks for the idea I'm trying it but I'm getting an error:

FAILED <remote: Partition not found>
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] guidoido004:
I forget everytime... MAtrix and XS have different partitions and flashing methods... Dx

Install a stock based kernel(and a stock based ROM. Lol), then install JB as doomlord says, also, check the zip's MD5 before flashing it, better safe than sorry, as we learned today.(that's what I did to install the update... Hehe)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] precardo:
Lol :D:D ... Funny guy ain't you. ... This rom is in a zip format which normally means that it is recovery compatible. DO NOT try to use "fastboot" as it will never work!! Also try reading OP on first page for instructions.:D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] udelgadochio:
Precardo the thing is that I'm not capable of putting the .zip in the internal storage, I0ve already relocked my bootloader for SEUS restoring, but SEUS says that I've the latest software, anyway for forcing SEUS to install ICS on my Xperia S?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] camperkc:
just found that same problem without headphone.

if I keep pressing power button to switch on/off screen. no problem at all. Its like if the phone sleep for couple of minutes then the problem start to come up.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] RHBH:
I'm just excited about the official release, you guys are talking so many good things about this leaked rom, unfortunately my bootloader is locked and I still have some months of warranty.

For what I saw here I just want one thing from Sony in this update, STAMINA Mode.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] guidoido004:
I think it totally worth my 11 months warranty, worst case scenario I flash back stock and relock bootloader. As should you. Freedom > safety.

Just saying... :)

And stamina mode, if you know the details of how it works, you'll know it won't make a big difference in this kind of phone as end users are thinking. ;D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Abandoned-Trolley:
Can you not download flashtool and a .55 ROM?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] precardo:
Oh man you didn't have to relock the BL just to have restoration of ICS:eek: ...now you will have to go through the whole process of unlocking again, which by the isn't safe to play around with as it can break the phone!! what you needed to do is the following. ..

(1) download a fastboot compatible ICS firmware in .ftf format to flash via flashtool.

(2) download latest ICS rom as flashable zip format and simply reboot in recovery to flash.

FYI you should always have the above mentioned saved in you PC for emergency purposes.

OH'' by the way what do you mean by "not capable of putting the zip on internal storage"? :rolleyes: man the zip MUST be placed on the SDcard thus flashing will then put rom on the right partition(internal)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] udelgadochio:
Ok, I've already tried Flashtool an I get an error, I've tried several times and always getting the same error, and I'm not capable to put the ZIP into the SDcard because the phone doesn't turn on, and in CWM I put USB storage mount and the PC doesn't even detects the phone, otherwise I'm able to put the phone in fastboot and flash modes, so I hope I can repair it.

EDIT:

I forced PC Companion to restore the stock firmware, thank you very much!!

EDIT2:

PC Companion fails! It says that there doesn't exist available software for my phone, that I must try later :S
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Vaith:
Instead of crying use SUS which is much better in updating and installing fresh fw.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] revan17:
I had that too on first two reboots. I thought I soft-bricked it but it went away. Lasted a minute on first reboot and less on second. Now I don't have it anymore.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] pepporony:
I try using lock screen APK from XZ but the black screen problem still exist. Right now I've completely disable the lock screen and no more blank screen when turning on phone.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] skylinrcr01:
Found a couple bugs.

- Watching youtube and someone called me, tried to resume video, would only play in slow motion. Reboot fixed the problem.

- Couldn't answer a call altogether earlier today, may have something to do with stamina mode. Couldn't slide the answer icon across, due to unresponsiveness of phone. After it stopped ringing, it couldn't unlock it either. Had to reboot, that fixed it again.

Unlocking bootloader does not void warranty. It does for "software errors" (meaning hard bricks), but as far as I know, noone had a hard brick on XS yet, it's nearly impossible. You can always wait 3 weeks it's not that long anyway, but tbh I don't think warranty is a reason not to unlock your bootloader. If you really wanted to keep BE, that would be a valid reason. I unlocked my phone within the first week that I got it though :p.

About stamina mode, the current power management options in this leak are already a big help, would be stamina mode as well, but I'm happy either way.

Why don't you trying flashing another kernel that supports USB mounting (in recovery) with fastboot? You managed to flash the kernel for this leak, so you can surely do the same with any other kernel. Just copy the zip while on that other kernel and then fastboot the leak kernel again. Surely less work than PC Companion/SUS/Flashtool.

That's a problem that's been reported by others as well, and I don't know what you or they do with your phones, or how often you try to unlock it, but in 2 days of using this rom, my lockscreen has always responded immediately. I'm noticing that it sometimes takes a half a second longer than other times, but never a black screen. Are you having a lot of apps running in the background?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Bl1tZ7:
OSB for this firmware?

Longshot, but is there any way of enabling soft buttons/disabling the hardware keys?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] davidbar93:
Yeah ,same here. This is my 3rd day while using this FW and I didn't had this kind of problem.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] TheHurf:
I think you'll find unlocking the bootloader *does* void the warranty, otherwise Sony wouldn't be saying, "if you unlock your bootloader, your warranty will be void":

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] pepporony:
Judging from the Setting > App screen, 11 processes running. Some of them are Sony's (Xperia Link , Smart connect). Other than that are Falcon, Friendcaster.. the usual stuff.

I will try to disable some of these processes and see what that do... or else I may try to do a factory reset.

Good thing that I know some of you didn't have this problem.. Now I know it could be my fault.

Edit

May I ask, did you restore apps via app like Titanium Backup?

Error 404
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Redstarr1:
I've read the same page, it says unlocking the bootloader may void the warranty and if you send in a phone with custom firmware they will charge you extra for it. But:

- If you send the phone in, you load a stock ftf.

- At this point, what hardware defects are you still expecting to occur that are covered by warranty?

You're just interpreting that page in the most pessimistic way possible (okay I might be a little optimistic about the "you don't need warranty anymore anyway" bit :p), but I know for a fact of some users here at xda that sent in their phone under warranty and got it repaired, even with an unlocked bootloader. That "may void warranty" message is just some legal mumbo jumbo to make your flashing your responsibility, but the hardware is still theirs. And if you flash responsible, you can't hardbrick this device.

I restored a few apps with Titanium, but I manually reinstalled most from Play Store (using the pc browser based store and my list of previously installed apps). Took a bit more work than Titanium but I know from previous experience that changing Android version might mess with some apps in rare cases. I also have only 7 background apps running at this moment (including Greenify and NotifyMe so really only 5, I haven't been using my phone a lot this morning though), I always reduce the amount of bg apps by freezing GTalk and G+ and converting Facebook and Maps to user apps and Greenifying them.

Don't know what causes my lockscreen to work better than yours. I just wanted to make sure I did a proper transit so I took my time for it. Will have to do all of that again later though, seeing as the deodexed version is already online and some custom versions on the way. Or I hope wiping data isn't necessary for those (it is for the deodexed rom, don't why though).

I'm wondering about the issues of other users.

I don't get any of reported problems. Everything is working very well (NFC, WLAN, Tethering, Volume, FM-Radio, Mobile-Data, Lockscreen, no random reboots, no FCs, etc.....).

The only thing I do was following the steps in OP starting from a .55 based ROM. In my case it was XZX2.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] LLy_BosHi:
Could someone modify 5x4 grib stock Xperia Home on this ROM?

holy crap, that white balance settings, someone needs to inform sony to properly calibrate the xperia s screen, its so yellow, or atleast have this feature on the upcoming firmware jellybean. too bad you have to re-enable everytime your phone turns off

It needs some kernel features porting. Should come with DoomKernel
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DrKrFfXx:
The screen of my device was replaced under warranty, the screen it had before featured depressing yellow whites

Now whites are really white, not that old fashioned almost sephia tint.

In fact I've had 3 Xperia S. The first one had yellow screen, it broke and hot replaced under insurance by another XS, it was probably refurbished, so it got the screen very white. That one got wet and stopped working.

I bought a third one brand new (his one bootloader unlockeable that's why I'm here), it had a row of dead pixels, alongside the depressing yellowish screen, and It got replaced by this sharper, better screen.

Xperia T from my cousin is very yellow too. Ugly.
