how do i "install" the update.zip (R1FB001)?
what do i need to install it?
//
is it possible to get a jailbreak like on the iPhone?
i know there are some apps like APKtor or APToide...
thx for answers!
remember: i'm a newbie on Android so be nice ^^
At the moment you can put it on your SD Card and let it collect dust since we need the bootloader cracked and working before we can flash update.zip files.
If it's a theme you could always try and adb push it
Oh.... xD
It's a custom firmware, not a theme
How many devs are working on the cracked bootloader?

Thx, hope they'll get it soon ^^
But...
We'll get 2.1 this month, so is it possible to use the cracked bootloader they're working on now on 2.1 too?

well once the botloader is cracked you can put any version of android on new or old

Thanks!
I heard that some guys got android 2.x on the iPhone
Now they are able to choose iOS or android at boot
Is it able to run iOS and android on the x10 with the cracked bootloader?
Would be nice =D

Okay I have an X10 on the way which i plan on using . My question is are there updates for it yet as the person still had the 1.6 OS on it and would really like this updated to maybe Froyo at leas if possible. I am a total DUMMY when it comes to all these liks with rom's etc...I have no idea which ones i need which ones i do not. Could someone please tell me if this phone can be updated in some normal kinda way or what do i need to do? I do not plan on rooting it just want the os updated. Thanks for your help ......

Guess I need to add i will not be using it on ATT it will be used on ST
you could wait till later this year, x10 is going to be getting 2.3, but for now, you can use SEUS to update to 2.1. if you want something else, I'll help you.
edit: plug your phone into computer, and run the sony Ericsson updater that is on your phone already, it will tell you step by step. but I really recommend going through Bin4ry's/Renderos's instructions, I'll find you a link

Hi there, i'm no expert in this, but i should imagine that if you made a nandroid backup of your stock rom before installing CM7, you should be ok to just restore that.
I have already installed cm7 buddy nd stupidly I didn't make a backup I understand that I can't completely restore it bck as bl will always be unlocked I just need the stock T-Mobile UK 2.2.2 rom

I can't be 100% sure about this, but seeing as you haven't installed an official 2.3.4 GB, you might be ok to flash the official stock 2.2 froyo t-mobile firmware. Head over to the super firmware thread and have a look there. As i've already said, I can't be 100% sure about this, hopefully someone with a lot more experience than me will chip in and give you the assurance you after, sorry i can't help you anymore my friend.
Well I still appreciate ur assistance m8

No problem my friend, if our official 2.3.4 GB update isn't here by next week i'm going down the same route as yourself, unlocking my BL and installing either CM7 or Alien. It seems that us in the UK get left behind when it comes to official software updates! !

I think the brick problem is when you flash a gingerbread sbf and try flashing a froyo sbf...but I've done the same as you. Except I backed up my original stock rom.

Totally agree, normally I like to get root straight away but with the Xperia S I just feel no need at present.
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium
Totally depends on what you wanna do with it.
I needed root voor titanium backup and root explorer. If you don't need this then there is really no need.
At the moment I don't see a reason to root. The rom is great and stable. The only reason for rooting I see now is if you want to install/flash a host file to stop all the ads.
There's also a nice framework mod out now with quick toggles in the notification bar. Like there is in cyanogenmod.
I have still not rooted the xps. Will probably do it when some good custom roms are out..
Sent from my LT26i using XDA
If you use a rom does that change the phone completely or just a part? Or does it only add something?
Sent from my LT26i using XDA
It depends on the Rom. If CM9 or even CM10 reaches the XS then you get a completely different user experience. If you use a custom rom based on the existing XS NXT skin then it still is Sony interface.
I have not yet needed to root yet myself either.
I would wait for ICS before i do any rooting. Only reason i would root is to get rid of bloatware and those annoying ads.

Root will be gone after update so you have to root again.

So i have a LWW (WT19i), I recently rooted it and flashed it.
I installed this rom about two weeks ago with CWM
HTML:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1490166
i currently have my phone rooted and using MIUI, roottoolbox, titaniumbackup and stuff....
The weird thing is that, in the description of the ROM it says that unlocked bootloader is required,
but it was working perfectly with my locked bootloader, until yesterday.
The phone started crashing and freezing out of nowhere, apparently it had something to do with overclocking it
because I disabeled the overclocking and it worked a bit faster but just... not like it was working a week ago
it freezes sometimes, google chrome takes like two eternitys to load.
maybe it is because of the bootloader thingy??? i don't know...
and why did it work in the first place?!?!
does it mean CM works also?
so i guess the only thing i have to do is get a full wipe and install the ROM again? or maybe some other ROM
i really want to install CM9 it seems really interesting, but.... freaking bootloader....
So i'm kind of lost... i'm really lost.... apparently i can't use CM9.1 or MIUI because i dont have unlocked bootloader, but they work anyhow?
and i can't unlock it, i really have no idea how to do it. i've read like 158932 different tutorials and they are all different
some tell me i can't do it, it won't ever work and i should drown in my tears for all eternity, and others tell me i have to download freaking eclipse
and start programing in java...
i just get lost with that many incoherence....
I really want to install a nice and comfortable rom so i can rest and use the phone
im just tired of flashing and rooting and reflashing.
....CM9... 10?... looks nice.....
so, are there any sugestions ???? what should i do?
should i just reinstall MIUI what if it gets slow again ?
also... can someone please for the love of Godzilla explain me how can i unlock my bootloader ?? if it is possible
you guys probably get this a lot but sorry for my poor english...
thanks a lot
bye

Does you phone has Sim lock? ok so u can check this by hiting the *#*#7378423#*#* and go to service info/ SIM lock. see the pic? if it has any lock, you can try this it may work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1675718 good luck and anything just let us know
From my opinion its impossible to unlock bootloader if its not allowed. If you want the taste of custom rom then change the phone

You know what guys, I really miss honeycomb. Especially the way you add widgets and also the customization that Sony did with the app drawer- they shouldn't have gotten rid of it in my opinion.
I still have my old Tablet S (Although with a cracked screen sadly)
Is it possible (I have root) to downgrade to 3.2?
Why did Google get rid of the awesome screen which added widgets.
Or perhaps someone could send the launcher?
Ive done extensive research and tried many methods and asked people alot smarter than me it cant be done until the bootloader is u locked. Once it is than we can the reason is because the recovery has been updated in the current version of android and once it is you cant go back because it is part of the Rom and is hidden. Yes ive tried downgrading and before I got bootlooped it said cannot because of recovery version. I WASTED about 2 months on this idea as well as a few other people and also Condi the best dev we have over here for the tablet s has tried and theres still no way until the bootloader. Ive also looked at testpoint unlock but if you've ever looked at the motherboard theres gazillions of testpoints so who knows which is the right one plus taking it apart isnt exactly a walk in the park like it is with phones. Youll just have to wait like me. Btw head over and sign the bootloader unlock petition.
