Hi everybody, does anyone knows if Sony has planned an update for our Xperia ray to Jelly Bean ?
Or if an update is currently under development ?
Thanks for your anwsers
these is no official jelly bean for xperia 2011 phones the only jelly bean rom is from cm10 and one more guy these both is also under dev...

Sony are 'reviewing' whether jellybean will work "effectively" on Xperia 2011 line, and based on their "research" they will publicly announce whether or not they will bring jellybean to our phones.

Hehe JB runst smooth on nexus one so....
By the way I have been using custom rom JB for awhile. It feels like my phone is running on dual core just for the smoothness of it. I think sony for the user experience will likely update it to jelly bean...

I disagree, I think Sony won't offer JB just for the user experience, instead they will avoid it to push the customers to buy new phones.
İf you have time, check and see ICS hardware discussion on official Sony forum:
Some of Sony's newer 2012 ICS phones has same or poor hardware compared to Ray yet they run ICS like a charm.
Im being positive
HAAAAAAX!!!
Just as I said before, Jelly Bean is great thanks to project butter. If they release it for Xperia 2011 line, the biggest problem would be SONY's policy of customizing JB with their own (heavily layered) UI and pushing unnecessary and bad bloatware that kills system performance. But the good part of this would be the release of official drivers, that means more posibilities for developers to cook fully working ROMs, even for locked bootloaders.
One way - CM10.......
We are counting on you!
Thanks for all your answers
But I can't test CM10 because my bootloader is locked :-/
Can I have CM10 with a locked bootloader (I have CWM and a rooted Xperia Ray) ?
Thanks you all, I love this forum
And sorry for my bad English :-/

No you can't you need the kernel, and for the kernel, you need to unlock the bootloader, it's the only way. Btw, no jelly bean update at all, or at least that's what i've read, somewhere (can't remember..) because the 2011 line has only got 1 core processors, and it's not enough according to sony developers. Obviously that's stupid, as said before, it runs quite well in the nexus line, wich has similar specs. Take courage, and unlock your bootloader, that's my opinion, 'cause I'm sure that sony won't release Jb for our phones, and a custom rom will always be better anyways.
Best regards..!
Ok thanks, but before unlock my bootloader I will wait for a more stable Rom
And maybe I will try an ICS custom Rom to force me to unlock my bootloader

ooh, once you unlock and start trying slimmed down and alternative firmwares you won't go back.
One of our users called JJdoctor makes an excellent ICS firmware and FXP continue to work on CyanogenMod 10. This is shaping up to be an excellent JB firmware - already very stable and very fast.

Well as I recall they (SONY/GB) said on facebook that 2011 wouldn't get JB but then I saw on Xperia blog I think that it was demented e.g they are "investigating".
Personaly, I think they should end 2011 with Project Butter you know, end while your on top.
The HW should be ok and it's mostly performance optimazing from ICS

Yes you must be right but I'm a little scared to unlock my bootloader because it break the warranty (what is stupid ^^').
But it's true that the official ICS rom isn't very smooth and fluid =/

you can re-lock your bootloader if you unlock using test point method
Thanks you all but I have a little problem, my phone is sim-locked, I didn't know that isn't possible to unlock the bootloader when a phone is simlocked and I don't want to pay it, I'm student and I don't have a lot of money =/
I woldn't ask for jb, I would be really happy with an ics rom, as smooth and stable as Gb.. And without the chunky camera app it has on ics, quality is way better back in gb.

Hi!
Sony will give as beta updates for BL unlocked phones like was with arc, ray and neo??
Somewhere I have read that Sony will not publicate alfa or beta roms for our phones.
If they restrict beta I will be mad!
i think new in ics -gui -more elegant -more use ram and much more

It is said, that around end May/early June get all other Xperia phones the ICS update.
Cant wait for this. Loved the elegance of it.
Anyway, i think ICS will be available here on Brazil only in July ~ August. ):
Great news
I have a couple of questions though. If anyone is able to answer them I'd be thankful.
First of all, it seems root is already available on Xperia phones following some replies on this thread. Could someone please point me in the right direction as to how can we do it? A thread on this forum would do, sometimes even using search I get lost trying to find what I want
Second, suppose I don't like ICS and I'd rather revert back to GB. Will flashing the phone with a Nandroid backup work? I imagine I'll need root and install recovery first. Is recovery an easy thing to install on ICS? I installed my current recovery through the CWM Recovery installer available on Google Play, will it work on ICS? Will I need to unlock my bootloader to do it?
If a Nandroid backup won't work, will flashing the phone with Flashtool with a (rootable) .42 or .58 firmware work? If it does, will I still be able to update to .62 with OTA?
That's a lot of questions, I know..but I'd really like to know that stuff before I consider updating to ICS.
Thanks in advance!
yeah,can't wait androi 4.0

dont sweat it.

it only takes 15 minutes max to root.
remember, you cant root .62 yet
yes you can go back to any firmware of gingerbread if you dont like ics by using easy flashtool toolkit.
no you dont need cwm recovery to install ics, you need sony pc update companian app on your computer or maybe just through the air from your phone.
Hey
i just flashed ISC for my Neo with the help of this forum. The problem is, that its very slow now.
I already looked for some kernels but I dont want to unlock the bootloader.
Is there any posibility to make the phone faster without unlocking it?

Do a clean install instead upgrading,remove bloatware and finally don't expect miracles from 512mb ram
If you really want to use your phone flawlessly, stick on the stock .62 firmware. ICS lags too much, even the Sony warns you about this before updating. A 512MB single core processor can't do so much. Else, the best method is unlock your bootloader (don't worry, you can relock it again ) and flash the Night-Elf KERNEL with 1.8 GHZ OverClocking capability and many much more advantages.
Still, at last, .62 is the best

PFF if you install ICS with pcc (Thilina said it already) then repair it again with pcc, then is it okay, fast and stable, i have NO slow ICS or lag, i supercharged it and no problems it all, and this is already answered, 10.000 threads ago !!

I appreciate your answer, I too followed all you said but in my case, it lags (even after Supercharging). So, switched back to the .62 firmware. Even the WiFi is not working properly on ICS, connects then disconnects repeatedly.

LG P500 has 512MB RAM, msm7227 ARMv6 600mHz CPU and ICS works super smooth and fast.
On neo V i'm using Apex launcher, and I prefer turn off xperia home and other blotware.
Sony must update kernel to newest version to bring us full ICS experience.

Hello everyone.
I tried rooting my Xperia ray today using this guide: http://mytechencounters.wordpress.com/2012/03/17/root-your-xperia-phone-without-voiding-warranty/
Bear with me, you might find all of this tedious to read. My phone came with GB 2.3.4 build .62 which is hard to root. So as the above guide directed, I downloaded a .42 build firmware, CE(Central Europe perhaps? I don't know) and tried to flash it using flashtool. I disconnected the phone from the PC in between. My phone wouldn't boot. Then I used SUS and updated it to ICS, making the phone work. I then flashed it to GB .42 patiently, and with success. Alas, problems started immediately. Many processes such as media, calender storage, acro etc came up as stopped working. Even after selecting force close they would keep appearing. I cleared the respective cache/data and the notifications stopped. Then I rooted it using Doomlord's toolkit, and updated to .62 via OTA, keeping my root. A few things have changed. The keyboard name is the same, International keyboard, but it is different and I don't like it. Camera is not working. Screen goes blank if I open the camera. Messaging does not work and the messaging app crashes as soon as I open it. No contacts are found, despite importing them again. (They all show up when using the import from SIM option, it says importing is done but they are nowhere to be found). I called someone manually. While calling his name shows up but my contacts is completely blank. Google search is not working and it crashes too. There might be other problems, but I haven't checked. Anything in particular to check? Please help me solve all these issues. I'm glad my phone is rooted now, but it's next to useless due to all this. Please help me.
Great. Even the screen unlock security seems to not work. No slide to unlock. No pattern unlock even though I saved a pattern. I press the power button, the phone just shows the home. No security. How do I fix all this? PC Companion? SUS? And I don't want ICS so I won't use them if that's what they're going to update my phone to rather than fix it.
Do a complete wipe data/factory reset or flash .42 again, if this won't work take it to a service center cause it's a hardware issue

Oh my God. Yet again, a small step proved to be highly useful. I can't thank you enough! :good::good::good::good::good::good:
Side note: I'm thinking about unlocking my bootloader, mainly for installing a custom kernel to overclock and probably for using custom ROMs in the future. I know that I will lose my DRM, so I can't run trackid and timescape. What else wont I be able to run? Is DRM that important? Can I unlock the bootloader with a method that will keep my warranty? Thanks in advance.

No problem, hope it's going well now :good:
1. Overclocking can destroy your phone/phone's hardware. I've never overclocked and I wouldn't do it...
2. DRM are not important and trackid should work with the latest version. Not sure about timescape, maybe with an updated version it works
3. You can just keep your warranty by unlocking with testpoint method. Here is a great tutorial and sony won't notice it, only when your phone is bricked up
But testpoint is just working until a specific build number of the hardware, it should be mentioned somewhere in the thread!

I think you have gotten a lot of good advice from Mihahn and I just wanted to add some suggestions before you unlock your bootloader...you probably want to get comfortable working with CWM Recovery. It has been a while since I did this on GB but there are a bunch of tools that you can use to put recovery onto GB stock roms and a good place to start is this thread in Ray Dev: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426912
Also before you decide you just gotta have a certain ROM, take a good look at the OP for the ROM....there may be something not working correctly that would be a deal breaker for you....there are some features that only work properly on a stock based ROM. This is particularly true of the Jelly Bean 4.2 build for the Ray....the 4.1 ROMs are working pretty good.....but if you absolutely love the sony camera app then you have to stay on a stock ROM.
Have fun!
Hi, still NEWBIE here in android era.
i have an XPERIA MINI st15i. just got it last sept. 2012.
i rooted my phone but it is still LOCKED BL.
Just wanna ask about your OPINIONS/SUGGESTIONS about advantages of UNLOCKING the BL.
Aside from having custom kernel. is there any other significance?
and one more thing, if I unlock my phone, it can still be RELOCK from what i seen here in the forum.
if i Relock my BL, and flash the stock .ftf. will it be accepted in SONY, and my warranty will not be void?
asking with your help SIR/MADAM.
don't be too harsh for me if posting this thread is a total noob.
i will delete it if i made a violation in the forum rules.
THANKS and God BLESS+

Hi.
Do it and don't look back as the advantages far outweigh the negatives, and it makes modding your Phone so much easier in the long run, just be sure to READ READ READ! before attempting to do anything, not doing still catches advanced users out too from time to time, but it's even more important to do so when you're starting to learn.
thanks!
Thanks for the replies. Really appreciate your guidance..
Well i guess i know what to do now. Just read and learn more. I made my phone rooted and installed many roms. Therefore i can make it unlock too. . Heheh.
Thanks again. Thanks fiir the link!
More power!
My personal experience.
I have an lww, a very spectacular phone in stock ics rom... But when i unlocked my bootloader, a world of android community opens.
Modded kernels brinds your phone speed, look, smooth, and a lot of other characterist.
A important point is the Overclock/Underclock, wich is the reason because i decide to unlock my phone, and i 1.6 Ghz the change is notory, and dont lost much battery life in ics.
My opinion: UNLOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER, and taste the flavour of jelly bean!

Don't overclock your phone to 1.6 ghz as it may burn your cpu....1.2 or 1.4 is ideal for daily use...(though I don't recommend overclocking the phone at all)

This is an open challenge for all developers.
1) They cannot make a custom kernel in FTF format.
2) They cannot unlock the boot-loader in an unofficial way only through software.

You challenge devs?????
I have answers.
1. FTFs are actually from pc companion/sony dev website. They are signed by Sony and we can't modify it.
2. Well, the software is made that way that without an unlock key, you can't unlock the bootloader.
Anyone is free to add on to my answer.
If devs can't do it, why not you be the revolution for sony devices and create what you asked?

First FTF is just zip archive used by FlashTool,SIN files are signed by Sony with private key and they cant be modified.
Second Bootloader hashes IMEI with PUBLIC KEY,with is then bootloader unlock key.Thats why you need to enter IMEI on Sonys site.

1. It is way easier to copy a flashable .zip into a phone flash via cwm than to go through the hassle of installing flashtool & loads of drivers (which doesn't work on Windows 8, BTW) to flash a ftf.
2. I challenge you to break the encryption of your favourite credit card company's payment service. This is similar to breaking the encryption (128bit ??) that Sony has put into its bootloader signing mechanism.
EASY WAY TO GET ur workk
hahaha
OP any last words?

This is an open challenge for all developers.
1) They cannot make a custom kernel in FTF format.
2) They cannot unlock the boot-loader in an unofficial way only through software.

Well, just have a question
YOU CAN DO THAT?
Their something maybe now can't do, but no one promise it can't begin in the future, all about the time!
And I think this thread is useless cause your what challenge to the developers is just showing you didn't respect them with their hard work!
I apologize for anything I did cause I'm just showing my idea
This thread is useless !!
why challange DEVS ??
NO kind of sense this !
Complete agree bro @Pandemic
It's no-sense to challenge devs !
You were able to modify/create ftf on 2010 phones (something was unsigned I think)
Bootloader could be unlocked without key or being allowed to unlock on 2011 phones (by a hardware hack with some cables)

Well First of all I am extremely sorry for hurting all of you.
Secondly, The idea behind is that I bought Xperia SOLA from a giant store in my country. The box had written VodaFone over my SOLA packing. I asked the shopkeeper and he told me your Phone will be perfectly fine with local sim cards. I came home used SOLA for a couple of weeks and hell yeah, It was ****ing slow. I couldn't believe what I have bought. Then i went to XDA for a custom rom and guess what my bootloader is locked and cannot be unlocked the official way though all sims and network operators are working. Now I started searching for ROMS for LBL and coudn't find the one that fast and stable at the same time. Out of desperation, I challenged the great developers to atleast make a FTF custom kernel for me that is impossible for now. Accept my apologies every body.

Good you apologized mate!
Our devs work so damn hard each and every day just to make our phones work perfectly. Thats no way one can challenge them.
I dont know wether i should be talking about this or not because i am not a dev or anybody, but, You respect them and you get respected back! Thats the one thing i have learnt from XDA!
There is no need to challenge a dev, if they dont didnt do what you are asking is because its not possible or its very hard to do. The devs here work everyday to give us great releases, you shouldn`t make this kind of thread challenging theme, i think its useless.
But anyway, you can use custom roms, but not kernel. You can root your device and get some speed and battery. It takes time but thats why xda is here, everybody learn a lot here and use lots of stuff in config and so on. So read, learn and try...

Best ROM for Xperia SOLA LBL
So guys what according to you is the best ICS ROM for Xperia SOLA Locked Boot-loader ?
I tried Experience 2.1 by divaksh and its not that good. Although Divaksh did Awesome work. Its the Fone that is ****ing SLOW.

Its not the issue with the ROM's..... its the device itself which has very low RAM.....
I know many other devices with 512 RAM working great but these NovaThor devices have some issues I guess.
Very True
I might be selling my SOLA if there is no announcement for KITKAT for it in coming few months.
This is downright ridiculous.
