The update is better than ics...their are lot of improvements in the update, speed have been increased and ram increased too...in all the update is good..this is my initial view regarding the update
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] w3nZ:
Thats right, its a positive update. but some things are not so good yet...

No stamina... poor camera... menu button on homescreen without function

Once we get root and de odex it will be fine. It seems to function quite well and the only issue that bothers me is my text messages did not restore.

Is there Some 1 tried that torrent link in 2nd post??? Is it working??

The torrent stalled at 87% for me.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] smartboy0668:
I think the only hope is `just wait`:)...

sent from xperia ion Lt28at loaded with Lt28i fw ics
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zackspeed:
Yep about 20 minutes or so ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] edwardng:
is it the .ftf for LT28at?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] 4laptop4:
Seed

Please seed the torrent.:rolleyes:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
No its a FTF for the LT28h BUT you can flash it to the LT28at just exclude the baseband (or reflash the baseband from the LT28at afterwards) to keep LTE. There will be no official JB for the LT28at, AT&T isn't releasing it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] vltheolog:
nothing yet

it stops at 94 per cent
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] JeanLuX:
Currently, i stop the seeding because i upload the .tft in a few mirrors.

It's finish in 1h30min.

Be patient ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MadBullBunny:
Any guides at all showing how just to flash the baseband? Or is it stupid simple when you use the flash tool? I've only flash lt28i on my lt28at and in settings after the flash I got my phone to download settings to use my data and it all worked fine.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] wwaleed:
Waiting for u guys :o
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zaidx:
Congratulations ion owners

Have a nice update :) :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] JeanLuX:
When u flash the .ftf, exclude all except the baseband :
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MadBullBunny:
Stopped at 94.4% myself. Could've waited for someone else to receive the file so they could seed it and then you upload.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] princemarcus19:
there is a guide,, click flash then uncheck everything besides basband on right and side then proceed with flash
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] JeanLuX:
and don't forget to uncheck all wipes before :D .
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] v0ids0ul:

Thanks guys..!! Downloading
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] v0ids0ul:
Thanks, yeah I didn't have time to verify it yet myself. I woke up earlier, saw the download on google, grabbed it, and proceeded to upload it to Mega. I didn't see a hash posted so I had nothing to check it against. Anyway, here's to hoping it works for you guys. :good:

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MadBullBunny:
Starting the flashing now. Tell you how it ends up with an lt28at phone.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DeathEvil:
looking forward to hear how it turned out on att.

PS. does flashing this on att ion void the warranty?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MadBullBunny:
Alright I've updated my phone, I flashed the att firmware first then the lt28h JB update with baseband excluded. In the settings it shows lte as a preferred network so i most likely work. :) I'm not in a 4glte area currently, when I am I will give it a speed test to make sure.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zackspeed:
One thing to note is until we have root and can change the build prop we may experience issues with the market. I know before if I left it as a i or h device some things would not show up so keep this in mind. Don't know if it will be a issue or not.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tonychou:
so today for east eu only maybe, looking 4word receive JB on my HK device...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MadBullBunny:
Now does anyone have a solution to removing the headphone limit block? I use pandora in my car and the volume is low compared to ipod or xm. Couple of times I saw a message saying volume limit is activated when headphones is plugged in so I'm sure there is something to do to get around that.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] JeanLuX:
It's done.

See my #5 post ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jommyjom:
I have the LT28AT Ion, but I flashed it to be the LT28I so that I could unlock the band to receive LTE from T-Mobile. In my case, what is the correct way to update my phone to the new JB? I don't want to accidentally lock my band again and get stuck on Edge speeds or something.

Sorry for the newbie question, but I just got an Android phone less than 3 months ago, so I'm just a novice. THANKS!!!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] stickus:
Can this be rooted using the existing tools? Locked bootloader here and I can't give up root.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] glovesave:
I am the proud owner of an Xperia ZL, I just used flashtool to get my Sons ION (AT&T branded) to 4.1.1.

That was SO EASY, thanks a ton to everyone for this. LOVE XDA !

Looks like battery stamina mode is there, unsure yet on how much battery it will save.

Boot looks so much sweeter than the ATT logos.

Thanks again

I'm working on a pre-rooted ROM using dsixda's Android Kitchen, will upload it soon. Don't know if it will work, if you guys wanna try I make no responsible of results. MAKE A BACKUP.

Greetings.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zackspeed:
When you plug in your headphones turn on the screen and hit the volume up. It should show you a hurt your ears message just click ok. It should now let you go a bit louder. Also make sure xloud and clear phase are checked in settings - sound. The EQ will not work with Pandora so some music is lower than others. I had it going in the car earlier and it was fine for me.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] v0ids0ul:
Just wondering if anyone was successful with my mega link? Also, if so how were the download speeds? Because where I am in Canada it was going @ 2MB down, which is pretty decent for a free host.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] thanitos:
I went from 300kbs (my **** mountain speed) to 00.2kbps I assume he stopped seeding for a little while that was at 95%
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] raginginferno:
LTE works just fine with this FTF file. All you have to do is "Exclude Baseband" when flashing the FTF file in Flashtool just like everyone has been saying. No need to wait for a LT28at AT&T firmware or a LT28i Rogers firmware.

My Xperia Ion is from Canada and running on the Rogers LTE Network. This applies exactly the same for the AT&T Xperia Ions.

(Although when it was ICS it used to say 4G when I flashed a Generic Firmware and kept the baseband... now it says LTE again like my orginal Rogers Firmware... oh well.)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] v0ids0ul:
mine was the mega link to a direct download, not the torrent. so there shouldn't have been any seeding issues.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] thanitos:
I used the mega link and I am seeding it, worked on att ion just fine.

Hey guys there is a thread already for prerooted/deodexed firmwares and also one for stock ftf files. Please use those instead of making additional threads so we can keep it organized and that way people aren't searching through numerous threads looking for firmwares.

Lt28h ICS on Lt28at hardware. Want to get JB.

Hey hi ,

I had flashed the Lt28h firmware on my Lt28At h/w for ICS, as ICS was releases before for this Lt28h.

Now i wanted to update to JB. I see that the JB has not been pushed to my handset yet ( Currently in india).

Can i flash the 6.2.B.0.211 firmware made for Lt 28H ( m i correct ? ) , on my Lt28At ? I did that for ICS it worked ok, will it do ok for JB as well ?

Please help.

Thanks!

---------- Post added at 07:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:40 PM ----------

hi

When u say u flashed the att firmware first mean ? ATT ICS for Lt28At ?

Then u flashed the lt28h JB ?

I have a lt28at H/w flashed currently with LT28h ICS firmware ( dont remember if i excluded my baseband or not during ICS flashing time), so can i flash directly the JB via flash tool ?

Thanks
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] stefan.buddle:
ANYONE who has the LT28AT cann flash this and have LTE working properly

When flashing using the flash took after selecting the tft file just make sure you check the box on the right side that says

"Exclude Baseband"

This will flash everything except the baseband, once you do that flash the ICS tft checking everything except baseband

You have to go into the settings and put the ATT LTE APN setting again as well

---------- Post added at 03:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:54 PM ----------

Flash JB while checking to exclude baseband, then check if LTE works

if it doesnt work after putting in apn information then

flash JB image checking to exclude everything, DO NOT check the box to exclude baseband

it should then work

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lee480:
omg! Your username is very cute. Serious!

On topic - Try recording in 1080p video, it will lag badly. But 720p works.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Bwyan Benton:
Yes it does.

I thought that was an already known issue even from ICS tho? It's nothing new lol.

Just use 720p, not a deal breaker for me anyways.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ecallejas:

Will LTE network work? When flashing I have to exclude something?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Marsou77:
Exclude baseband ;)

You may need to go into settings and select LTE preferred or enter your apn. It will also ask to get your network settings for you and it works as well.

I changed the preferred network to LTE, but didn't worked LTE, then I added the APN settings, it works!!!

Hello,

I have a strange problem; wasn't sure if this thread or the flash threqd us appropriate. Instead of spamming, posting here.

I cannot turn off my phone; LCD is on (although blank/black; can see backlight). Consequently, cannot get into flash mode.

Bricked? Aside from disassemble and disconnect the battery, how to turn off?

Have tried holding the power button only 10+ seconds; nope.

Power + Vol up -- nope.

Power - Vol down -- nope.

Disclosure/how I got here:

- via cwm, flash the JB .zip

- turn off via power + up.. doesn't turn off (reboot)

- eventually off (technically off-and-chargng; unplug, wait, then try to enter flash mode

- *** d'oh ** from here, instead of power + down, kept trying power + up.

Got fixated on up.

- after multiple failures (of course), kept holding power + up even after initial LCD backlight in.. 2-pulse vibration

- still didn't work (of course)

- Repeat a few times.. don't remember any different steps, but now cannot turn off

...sorry for the long background... any ideas??

Thanks in advance.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] cjsabaki:
Did u flash jb kernel with flashtool or are you still on ics kernel??? 8-)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] thanhhii:
Here is the guide for for who want to install and root with locked bootloader: (test ok by me):

- Flash back to ICS

- Root and install CWM

- Flash this preroot & deodex 6.2.B.0.211: http://d-h.st/23k

- After flash, you MUST hold Power and volume up for a while (about 5 second) and u will se phone is turn off (when phone turn off it not vibration)

- After that use flashtool and connect phone in to flashmode and use Rom (6.2.B.0.211.ftf) to flash only Kernel and Baseband

- Turn on phone and u will get Rom fully deodex and ROOT => Yeah

I use THIS to install CWM for 6.2.B.0.211 but not work: when restart and tap into SONY logo it show blank screen and after 10seconds it automatic Reboot!

Who can install CWM for 6.2.B.0.211 please share
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] spamam1:
Hello,

Still on ics kernel, as I couldn't use flashtool.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Bwyan Benton:
Leave the phone alone for a few hours and it will shut off. If it takes longer than a few hours don't panic, leave it until it shuts off. Once it's off, plug in in to charge but DO NOT try to turn it on. Leave it for 20 mins, unplug it and connect it to flashtool to reflash firmware.

Happened to me last week. Be patient. It's not bricked.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] spamam1:
Thanks for the info.. will try tomorrow, hopefully share a similar success story =)

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Lazarus65:
Flashed Spectre's stock rooted and deodoxed JB via CWM, after restart got bootloop and couldn't connect to flashtool. Now I can't get flashtool or PC companion to recognize my phone. Trying to boot into flashmode (Green LED) it restarts my phone and back to a bootloop. Any one have this problem? Am I soft bricked? The phone works as normal, I just get bootloops and can't restart in CWM.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Bwyan Benton:
Weren't you supposed to flash the stock kernel right after the Rom? Hold volume up and the power button for 10 seconds to shut down phone then charge it for a bit and try using flashtool.

---------- Post added at 11:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:38 PM ----------

Yes, just exclude the baseband in flashtool

---------- Post added at 11:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:39 PM ----------

I believe doomlord is working on it. Be patient.

---------- Post added at 11:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:41 PM ----------

Turn the phone off hold volume up and power button for 10 seconds. Charge for a few hours. Then try flashtool
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Lazarus65:
That's what I tried to do but I kept getting bootloops. Left it on charge from 89% to 100% and I still can't get flashtool to recognize my phone.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zackspeed:
First thing is make sure you have the newest flashtool. If its not recognizing the device then you don't have your drivers installed correctly. Turn the device off and plug it into the computer while it is off holding volume down to enter flash mode and you should have a green light. It should try to install the driver. Once it does open flashtool and see if it will recognize the device.

We do not have a working recovery yet so everyone needs to be patient.

Once you flash the rom you will not have a recovery.

When your done flashing the rom you must make sure to shutdown and flash the kernal from the jb ftf. If you don't it will boot loop.

There are three phases for the power off function. Power + Volume up for 3 to 4 seconds is a force power off , 5 seconds aka one buzz is force reboot, 10 seconds aka 3 buzz is a force reset.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ernesto-galdamez:
Need help...

I need help this is my first post, im trying to use the flashtool and do these steps i do the check for all the exclude checklist but no to the baseband is it right? i do it that way and nothing happens when it finish.

I click on flash starts flashing ends up says unplug phone and try to boot, i boot the phone and nothing happens ics still there
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Lazarus65:
When I install the drivers, which do I install if I'm on the LT28AT Ion? I don't see the ion drivers.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zackspeed:
It looks fine. Did you flash it already?? If so did it boot up? If you havnt then hit flash and when it tells you plug the device in while its off holding volume down. It should give you a green light on the device and flash tool will take off. It does not take long and once its done it will say device connected. Close flash tool, unplug, and try to boot.

Lazarus if you plug in your device with it on it will install the adb drivers automatically. Then if you turn it off and plug it in with volume down it will install flash drivers. Once that is done flash tool will see the device.

Also if you have never used flash tool you need to install the drivers for it. If you need to know how then you need to go find that thread and read up. There is a exe in the flash tool folder to install common drivers.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] smartboy0668:
Is there any other way to root JB other than flashing pre rooted zip??? i have downloaded FTF...i havent more bandwith.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Lazarus65:
I've used flashtool before but I reinstalled windows so I had to install it again. After I restarted my computer flashtool recognized my phone again. I don't know what happened, but now I'm just installing the stock unrooted version of JB until I can figure out what went wrong.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zackspeed:
Yea I have been there before lol. At the moment running the stock ftf is not a bad thing. I have started messing with stuff but I am holding back seeing as we do not have a working recovery yet.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kumbangdesa:
Try this
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zackspeed:
That is for unlocked boot loader. We sadly can not unlock ours.

Oh..I hope Doomlord can create rooting kit like he did for GB and ICS for JB.. :o
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] KSulli:
This is my first time using flashtool and trying to flash or root a device, I am attempting to flash the att LT28 ICS firmware to my device before trying the new JB version but every time I disconnect and reconnect my phone after holding the volume down button I receive an error message telling me to download drivers for my device and that they should be in flashtool's directories..

Well I go into the flashtool folders and I find no Xperia Ion drivers, that being said I thought having Sony Companion Center would automatically update the drivers. What am I missing?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] smartboy0668:
yup as said this is for locked bootloaders only...

is there FRAMAROOT can be helpful???
