[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Rykoshet:
I've got an extremely bloated Xperia Tipo on Telcel that I need to debloat. The problem is, I'm not allowed to root (or maybe I would it be if it's possible to un-root)...

Is there anything I can do? Ideally having PC Companion install the latest version of ICS without any of the carrier junk.

And then, and this is grasping at straws, is there any way to access the system folder, or have titanium backup work, without root?

EDIT: Seeing there's a thread for Tipo FTFs, is it safe to say that I can flash the "generic" one instead of the "Mexico telcel" using Sony Flashtool, WITHOUT having it affect root access (ie, I can't have root...). Would that be the recommendation?
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] auni:
It's not possible to debloat w/o root access.

The best thing you can do is to flash a GENERIC or WORLD FTF using Flashtools [Can be found in General/Development section i believe] that has no carrier related unnecessary apps.

But for complete debloating ROOT permission is must.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Rykoshet:
Thanks a lot. I'll do that. And there's no way to un-root the device, is there, if I wanted to root it, debloat, and then lock it up again?

But installing the generic will be a great start.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] layup23:
You should be able to root and unroot with unlockroot. Not sure if it works on tipo though
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] auni:
Above your answer, you have to try it to confirm. Even if the above method doesn't in any case, cause i am not sure, if you need to unroot for the warranty or any service center issues, just flash the stock FTF again. Then your phone will be good as new and unrooted too.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] c4cyro:
hey man root and unroot works very fine! you can do whatever whenever you want by the program unlockroot.

also if you have doubts on unlockroot about unroot, then you can simply flash ftf via flashtool and you're good to go.

warranty remains! :D
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Rykoshet:
Excellent news. I'll start with the generic FTF and if all is well maybe there will be no need, but it's good to know I can experiment.

Thanks!
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] c4cyro:
Good luck! Happy rooting :p

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Rykoshet:
It worked great. I downloaded the FTF, and the loader.sin, put it in the FTF, put the FTF in the firmware folder, and now I'm running a generic stock rom.

My only question is, there's still a bit of Xperia bloat. Would it be possible for me to modify the system.sin file somehow in the FTF to remove certain apps, or is that not possible/recommended?

Thanks!
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] auni:
Not possible. You will experience errors in flashing then.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] c4cyro:
If you want a debloated rom then maybe you should try the ultrabeast rom.

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] kurotsugi:
you can't debloat it, but you could disable system app. it will have same effect with debloating except that the file isn't deleted, you can re-enable it anytime and no root required. most android user never know that this feature exist even though the feature is already introduced since ICS. to disable a system app you can go to setting>app. you'll see several tab. go to 'all' tab. select the app, press the disable button.

please note that some app are flagged as 'essential' and cannot disabled. you'll never could disable such app like 'systemui', 'setting' or any essential app which needed for the system. anyway, you can unroot your device with several simple tricks.

1. copy superuser.apk in /system/app to your sdcard

2. reboot the device, install superuser.apk just like any apk

if you do this step, your superuser app will be installed on /data/app and you can uninstall it anytime. if you want to completely unroot it, simply go to /system/bin (or /system/xbin - depends on the root method) and delete busybox + su (or only su) binary file. after that uninstall your superuse app. the good thing is that most staff in sony center never check the binary files. if you uninstall the superuser app they'll mostly think that your device isn't rooted and you can claim your device's service for free.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DorkyDev:
Develop app's?

Okay the run down on me and my knowledge, only thing I really know and ever learned was possibly advanced html, but it's gotten me pretty far in my ways.

The way I learned was by sourcing pages and piecing together different sections of codes going through trial, error and asking for help when running into a dead end.

Is there a similar way I could learn the basics of javascript for app development by sourcing some apk's, or what and how would be a good way to start for me really? I really don't want or see a point in taking a full course in javascript (Or flash) just to pickup and start learning the basics of developing app's, I'd much rather progress as I go on continuing to develop and keep evolving each time, rather than learn this first, then learn that then finally once pretty much mastered those start developing app's.

We all have different learning methods.

I've got a few app's I'd love to work on and develop out of boredom and knowing nobody else would develop them so why not me and give it a shot. 2 social site app's and 1 exercising app, really not an app for exercising but more of a idea brought into those types of recording app's.

I've had a dig around a few sites etc, and cant find a guide on how to network my XDA II to my PC via BT.

Try to install WIDCOMM BT stack. 59 build contains network access profile.
[Networking] icarusbop:
It can only be done ising the widcomm stack at the moment - get that first, Then it took me days to get it working.

If your home PC is running a network already (more than 1 PC) you may have to change your network config.

(The BT link prefers to use the ip addresses 192.168.0.1) so if you are using a network built by MS-network wizard to share internet connections you will have a problem, as the netwoek wizard insists on using the ip address mentioned above.

If you only have 1 PC then it should be relatively easy:

On your pc (with widcomm drivers( you will get e virtual network card - this is the BLuetoth port on the pc. set the IP address as you do on any network card.

On the XDA in connections - advanced, you will find a Bluetooth PAN driver this is the virtual network card for the bluetooth on the XDA, set th ip address here. THe two should then be able to connect.
[Networking] Ivan:
PAN driver

When I come to Connections/Advanced/Network Card then I have only:

Ivan, You need to install bluetoothgps first

Re: PAN driver

The PAN driver is installed when you install the Widcomm stack (I think) - do you have the Widcommm stack installed?

To make an armv6 version you need to port all the armv7 libs to armv6

Howdy folks, it appears that I've run into a bit of a hurdle playing with my transformer.

-----------------------------------------

Problem:

Stuck Boot (static "ASUS" logo, with nvidia logo in bottom right and "unlocked" in top left)

-(rebooting into bootloader and recovery is possible)

-----------------------------------------

Background Steps:

1. device got the 4.2.2 OTA from ASUS and is running the 10.6 bootloader

2.performed 4.2 unlock as per ASUS instructions

3.loaded TWRP 2.5 (4.2 version)

4.did a full wipe within TWRP (except SD)

5.installed stable release 10.0.0 =

6. wiped cache and dalvik

7. rebooted

------------------------------------------

I figured this was a problem with the kernel (similar symptoms before on previous devices) so i went into fastboot and loaded the boot.blob from the cm zip. - It had no effect!

I then wiped and tried again with 10.1 (nightly), again updating kernel - It had no effect!

Getting nervous, i flashed a rom based on stock 4.2 (kernel flash was required) -It's working but not what I want to end up with.

-Can you folks help me out?

Any help is appreciated

As far as I know the this [OFFICIAL][4.2.2][TF300T][NIGHTLIES] CyanogenMod 10.1 for TF300T does not work with the 4.2 bootloaders, even though it's 4.2.2 it needs a 4.1 bootloader like 10.4.2.20.

There is an experimental build for the 4.2 bootloaders here [ROM][4.2.2][CyanogenMod 10.1 Unofficial][TF300T(G) with BL 4.2][2013-05-09], if your using twrp 2.5.0.0-4.2 you should have JB 10.6.1.15.3 bootloader as twrp 2.5.0.0-4.2 on JB 10.6.1.8 has a split-screen issue.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ImmovableObject:
As far as I know, the official CM10 and CM10.1 (including nightlies) are still not compatible with the ASUS new 4.2 Boot loader. You have to wait a little while for the official CM10.1 maintainer to catch up.

However, there is an unofficial CM10.1 that can work with your current 4.2 bootloader, look here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2252990
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n00b1c1d3:
would you recommend downgrading to 4.1 to use the stable release, or should is it safer to just stay with what i got til they decide to make an official cm release that'll work with it?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ImmovableObject:
It is safer to stay. Messing with recovery, fastboot and bootloaders is risky business. Although, it may work, there is also a chance you might brick your tablet when done incorrectly. Not that I doubt your abilities. It's just that we are seeing an alarming rate of bricked TF300T being reported in the forum. Better wait for a much safer version of TWRP recovery.

EDIT: However, if you have NVFlash backup of your tablet, downgrading and bricking won't be much of a problem.

I've been looking everywhere for answers with no such luck.

Whenever this happens, WIFI analyzer shows: "not connected, Authentication failed"

I'm currently using my university's wifi network (Eduroam), so I'm getting signal from 10 APs in total and most of them are using channel 11 and the rest are using either channel 1 or 6, so i thought it might be some interference issue till i bought a TP-Ling mini router and set it to channel 14 which is not being used by anybody near me but I'm still having the same problem.

With numerous threads on this topic it doesn't even seem like you tried to search out solutions. Most solutions have to with making sure the N7 shell is fully snapped into place all the way around.

Changing to a static IP has worked for others. Please learn how to search.

I recently upgraded from an LG Optimus One phone to a Galaxy Nexus. On my Optimus One, USB tethering worked flawlessly. However, I flashed tons of different ROMs to find the ones that worked better than others. Some didn't work at all. Some were flaky.

I'm currently using AOSPA 4.2.2 PARANOIDANDROID 3.5 (May15) α5 with 3.0.75+-RUBIK-AK-r30 kernel. Wi-Fi tethering works perfectly. USB tethering is hit and miss. Because I use need to tether for about 90 minutes every day, I really need to use USB tethering as it kills the battery on my laptop when I use wi-fi tethering.

So, in terms of USB tethering on a Galaxy Nexus, will tethering work better on some ROMs better than others and does the kernel one use play a factor in the equation? Can someone recommend a ROM and/or kernel where USB tethering is stable?
