Hey everyone ,
I am new here and this is my first post so let me get started and say thankyou for this awesome forum and thankyou all for your help.
I have a sony ericsson xepria pro mk16i. It was a gift so it is a very precious to me.
I have been facing trouble with it since some timesuch as low memory high battery consumption and I am not able to install or unistall any apps on it.
I looked online and found that I have to root it , I tried an application called rootgenius on my pc but when it reached the rooting step it crashed ( twice!! ). SO i gave up on it. I looked a lot throught the xda forum and found that I have to update my device to ICS before I can root it . I tried to use the sony companion method and that failed because it seems that sony doesn't have the update/ software on their servers anymore. I found http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-neo/xperia-pro/root-xperia-pro-android-2-3-4-help-t2862534 .
In this thread the OP was adviced to use flashtool. I looked online into using flashtool but I was more discouraged than ever to even try.
As you may see I am rather inexperienced when it comes to my phone , as thus I appreciate ( a lot ) any guidance or instructions as to what to do.
Thanks a million everyone.

Good Evening,
I understood that each device has different ways to get rooted.
If that is wrong I am sorry.
Now... I have a Vodafone 845 and saw great apps on market only for rooted devices.
Normally I would like to have those.
I surfed the xda Forum and found some discuss about this device but root links are to x10 (sony ericsson I believe).
Because of my understanding that confused me.
Anyway, I am dummy in android and did`t understand a lot from those procedures.
My request is: would you guys please make a step by step guide for dummies (with simply english) like me in android?
THAT WOULD BE GREAT!
My devise characteristics are:
Vodafone 845 ( Huawei U8120 ?)
android 2.1 update 1
baseband version 2210
kernel version 2.6.29-perf
locked in Vodafone Romania.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Respectfully.
Wonderful
This is absolutely great!!!
So many advice, so many guidance!
I really can`t choose between those.
Seems that my post is written with invisible ink!

Hey bro I just saw ya post now, I too have a vodafone 845. What you must first do is root your device using superboot, and then you need to pur a custom recovery using amonra recovery. Our device is synonymous with the u8120. If you search for any roms dealing with u8120, you can use it on this device as well. You should connect the phone via usb to a win7 pc and then follow the directions on how to root etc. These directions can be found on the page that deals with Fresh Zodiac Fruit by Cedric. If you follow these directions to the letter you will have no problem rooting your device and installing a custom rom. Once you have a custom rom on, I would advise installing rom manager from the market. Once Rom manager is installed, flash Huawei Ideos 1 recover image. Then put cm7 u8120 slyking on your sd card and flash that, it is, as far as I am concerned, the best rom for this phone nowdays. When you got some experience using and flashing roms, download v6 supercharger and play around with that, you will be amazed at the results. Anyways bro, just remember vodafone 845=U8120. Once you got this, searching is easy.
THANK YOU
Thanks Bro , I just saw your reply.
Just when I lost any hope of a reply.
From your reply seems a lot of trouble to root my device.
I rooted my phone and now of course I got a bigger problem.
From the moment I bought the phone I hated the calendar,
so I tried lots of calendar apps from the market and stopped the search when
I found aCalendar which suited me excelent.
yesterday after I rooted the phone I erased the original calendar.
This morning when I tried to open the aCalendar ...surprise,
the app didn`t open and the screen shown: OnCreate|NullPointerException null şi apoi OnResume|......
I restored to factory settings and nothing ... same message.
Would you help me please with that?
Or some guru, PLEASE HELP.
Hi friends
I have found a solution to my problem & i have done it.
I just re installed the firmware & now my tablet is on the track & am happily using it.
The following are the websites where we can find the firmware for ONN M6
wwwdot86ppdotcom
wwwdotonnchinadotcom
the problem is the later is in chinese. in the former search for the firmware of ONNM6
If any one want the instructions for hwo to upgrade please contact mekms)[email protected] I cant add attachements here.
Of course it is our risk about our actions of upgrading/flasing our tablets.
hope any one can do this their own like me as am an amature.
thanks a lot for the friends online who had helped on this
All the best
i own a xperia neo and i saw reviews for the ics 4 update tht sony rolled out which were not convincing. i'd like to get started on how to upgrade to it manually . i'm very new to this and pls anyone guide me. if its the video tutorials, it would be more than helpful
thanks in advance
What do you mean by Manually updating ?
All you need to PC Companion or SEUS, just download anyone from Sony Web Site, & let it update it for you, just follow the instruction (which will give you when you install PC Companion or SEUS)
Good Luck
Hi, people. I'm new here and english is not my mother tongue so sorry any mistake I'm doing on forum or in english.
So, I tried to unlock my Xperia L C2105 bootloader and everything was doing fine until I tried to turn it on and it just freezes on bootloading.
I've tried to run it on flash mode and use Emma and Sony Mobile Flasher to fix it but apparently my computer doesn't seems to recognize it. I mean, it's listed on Device Manager but it's not listed on the tools I've use to recover it. I just don't know anymore, really confused here. How will I recover my device?
Thanks in advance to any help I get here.
Apparently like I'm new user here I can't post external links. So I'll post my imgur prints with "(*)" to cheat it. Just remove it to see the prints. It's a little more work to do but I'll be very grateful for the help. :good:
