[Q] Xperia U - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Big greetings...
I am new on this forum and This is my first android phone and i am big noob for this os.
Please do not laugh if i ask something stupid.
I have few questions about sony xperia u, and I need some advice abouth this phone.
First i want to know how to downgrade from 4.0.1 to 3.3.5 (or 3.3.7, i am not sure) and is that possible?
I updated my Gingerbread to 4.0.1. - i wanted to see how my phone will work with 4.0.1
I am not satisfied because phone operations and performances are slower.
i was thinking if i do factory reset my old os - 3.3.5 (or 3.3.7, i am not sure) , will come back, but phone starts again with 4.0.1
Other question is - how to root xperia u and what i gained with that?
tnx

Wrong section. Use flashtool and flash gb(not 3.3.4, it's 2.3.4 lol). If you want root your phone use one of the instructions on forum.

Quick question about Sony Ericsson Xperia X10i

Hi all, very nice effort and job.
I've some questions please:
I bought Sony Ericsson Xperia X10i, this is my 1st experience with Sony Ericsson mobiles.
Under it's battery, it's written (Sony Ericsson Xperia X10i)
The mobile have Android 2.2.3
1) Is this forum for it?
2) Does it differ Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 from Sony Ericsson Xperia X10i ?
3) Last question please, If this is the right forum, which is the best( ICS ) ROM for Sony Ericsson Xperia X10i ?

Soooorry i don't know the suitable forum, hope the supervisor transfers it to the right forum.

hey deveron3 dont be so rude,just point him into the right direction.
well before some mod closes this thread, i must say there is no fully working ics rom,becasue of some missing sources for camera and fps uncap,but just search the development forum,try FXP ,champion's aokp,or VR's xperia s ICS,the 3 of them are fine for playing around for a while,and maybe for daily use if you dont need camera.
about diferences between a and i a is for american continent,canada ,and south america, i is international and its distributed in europe, and its radio bands.
and ,just ask in q&a for x10
peace.

Do not post questions in the development section! There is a Q&A section​
original_ganjaman: Thank U, BRGRDS :good:
kalel29: thank u very much, every thing in the mobile is important, cam, app, etc.

thanks again, BRGRDS :good:

Hey mohgaza,
I've tried 3 ICS ROM's posted on development forum:
Xperia S ICS <--- using right now
RemICS
AOKP ICS
Three are updating every week to get the improvement of each rom, the most reliable issue or bug is camera (only works with 6mpx)
for 2.3.*, i've tried the following and were very stable:
X10S V9 by Championswimmer
Feralab

ICS link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1782771
from above link download
1) Xperia S ICS V4.zip
2) Xperia S add-on pack -5 lite.zip
3) google apps.zip (gapps)
4) ICS- Xperia S home launcher.zip
All of this are available in the above link and you flash them through xrecovery, so read and download... Flash the rom first and reboot.. once you rebooted and phones working come back to xrecovery and flash the remaining zip files... clear dalvik cache and cache partition and restart just to avoid any FC...
above rom runs on FXP132 kernel and im attaching it with this post... unzip it and flash through flashtool...
Xperia X10S link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29106815&postcount=3239
download the file from above link and flash it using flashtool... you need to paste this file in "firmware" sub-folder inside flashtool folder..
@udupa : thank u very much, thank u for the interest and thank u for the detailed replay. :good:
I've asked about the link for the stable 2.3.7 ROM, NOT ICS; since it's not complete yet.
U know, I'm not much interested with camera, I'll try this ROM.
But now, yesterday is the first day i carry Android mobile, i don't know what is root nor flash tool.
I'm watching some videos to learn much about the details and then try to do my 1st custom ROM installation. :laugh:
I want to ask about look and unlook boot loader, Is it better to unlook the mobile, or work while the mobile loader looked?
many thanks & BRGRDS.

Xperia X10S is very stable and smooth 2.3.x ROM so if u want then use it and there r no issues/problems with any 2.3.x ROMs.... camera doesn't work on ICS ROMs.... so download Xperia X10S and flash it using flashtool..... you can download the flashtool from the following link...
http://androxyde.github.com/Flashtool/
OR
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10738287
Install the flashtool first... read the instructions on that forum about how to use flashtool... check the below link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10879507
Read about it and let me know....
Unlocking the bootloader allows you to flash custom kernels as locked bootloader won't allow that... you can root, unlock bootloader install recovery(CWM), install busy box using flashtool... so look for it and read about it... good luck...
Hit the thank button if u like/want to...

That's why I posted that link,instead of posting new thread you should have asked there again.
Steps to flash ftf file is same for all devices.
To connect in flashmode instead of back button,hold - volume button.

i do not complaining that I'm not in the credits because in his version I don´t do nothing, so the credits are good ..

hi mate. i didnt intend to waste your time. since i had ported the entire firmware with bloatwares, i thought it would be good if someone had made a bloatware free rom. thats why i asked you to port for our device.
