Hello everyone,

Look at the top of the Web Page here on XDA, and use the "find your device" search bar. When you find the correct forum, use the "search this fourm" search bar.
However, being a beginner, you should go to you tube and check out zedomax channel, he does a ton of tutorials on different devices, and gives you a walk through video!
Check out his website called galaxys2root.com, or if you have the sprint version, try epic4gtouchroot.com(I think)
MOST IMPORTANTLY, I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH, MAKE SURE YOU ARE IN THE CORRECT FORUMS FOR YOU GALAXY S2 (EX: T MOBILE GALAXY S2, SPRINT EPIC 4G TOUCH, ATT GALAXY S2, ATT GALAXY S2 SKYROCKET, OR INTERNATIONAL GALAXY S2!) NEVER, NEVER, NEVER FLASH ANYTHING THAT ISNT SPECIFIC FOR THE VARIENT YOU HAVE! READ ALL DIRECTIONS 3, 4, OR 5 TIMES! IT IS VERY, VERY, VERY EASY TO HARM YOUR DEVICE PERMANENTLY! GOOGLE AND READ, SEARCH XDA READ, SEARCH YOUTUBE AND READ!
Good luck, and again be extremely careful, and read as much as possible to gain some knowledge of what you're actually doing!

I've read in some threads than developpers can't really build her rom's and kernels in healthy bases because we didn't have the official sources of our devices.
But we have seen than Sony has help Xperia S project and our community is big, then we can try to get more complicity from Sony to our XDA Developpers.
I'm from Belgium, so I also wrote a petition to the French speaking users.
We need to do great things about our devices, we need some help from Sony's, android is a open-source project at the start, and i don't understand why her politics didn't change with her poor quality developpement about our smartphones.
If you agree with this petition, speak about on this thread, we will then arrange with Sony.
It's a good place to start our request and i think we can do great things if we persevere.
*** [You can now sign the petition online by following this link : iPetitions - Get the Sony's Sources.] ***
* This one is the English petition. *
Attention: Sony Mobile Development.
From: Android Community Developers.
Concerns: Xperia Smartphones.
Application: Through this petition, the community of developers using your Android smartphone wish more support from you regarding the sources that you disclose. You recently provided your help to open a project benefiting the smartphone Xperia S, however, a large proportion of developers use for development, your midrange smartphones, namely the Xperia U, P, Sola, Go We would much greater openness on your part to share our efforts and provide consumers a wider range renewed.
Regards,
The Android Developpement Community.

Demande : Par le biais de cette pétition, la communauté de développeurs Android utilisant vos smartphones désireraient un soutien accru de votre part en ce qui concerne les sources que vous dévoilez.

Nous aimerions grandement une plus grande ouverture de votre part afin de partager nos efforts et d'apporter au consommateur une plus large gamme renouvellée.
Cordialement,

I agree with you mate, when Sony began helping developers they might share sources.
It will be good if they share sources so we have different roms to choose from.
Yeah right, i think if we do nothing, we get nothing. I'm actually looking for the possibility of this Petition. If every developper of these devices is ready to write her name, we will probably get a return of Sony, but we need a big mobilisation, if we are 20 guys, it's gonna be to the trash. So, complete the poll and say your opinion in this thread to get a idea of motivated guys !
Edit : You do not seem motivated ! We are fighting for our freedom ! ;p
I am with you. We really need more sources.

We need our help !
Thank you guy. We need your help, there should be a show of solidarity on the part of everyone on this forum for our rights, it will permit us to be able to invest in projects more concrete and sustained, and why not extend the movement beyond Sony Smartphones, and thus make our Android devices more open and customizable.
This is done !

The Sony would share everything ... the problem is most codes produced by ST-Ericsson and they're not open source! that's the catch!
Signed the petition and shared it in fxp thread

It is an asset for Sony marketting to be more open in terms of its development, on the one hand, it will be supported by a large majority of consumers for its opening (gain popularity), and secondly, support and renewal its products will be constant and diverse. You have not tired of having to wait 3 months to get an update provided many flaws? Are you a lot to use stock rom on your smartphone? I do not think, simply because our developers do an amazing job! But we could go further and make their work more accessible. It's give and take, everyone wins !

Could you tell me a little more about ST Ericcson ? Did not they link with Sony ? ST Ericcson developers do not work cooperatively with Sony ? Or do they develop spartan hardware level ?
Basically, if we can not act as towards ST Ericcson, we will also, until we have no more constraints. But I'm still quite surprised that Sony can not do anything about it.

ST Ericsson is a chip manufacturer, that is owned by Ericsson and ST Microelectronics. You can find more about it from Wikipedia.
Sony is ST Ericsson's client, and buys microchips, like Novathor, from them. In their agreement Sony is not allowed to distribute ST Ericssons source codes, only binaries.
As post above says, we don't need Sony involved in this petition. We need ST Ericsson

If the sources are indeed released, it would help with development soo much and make it soo much better
+ 1
I got Jelly Bean AOSP for Xperia Go and I sent mail to Sony support for developers, but 7 days can not get reaply from his team about support for developers on Jelly Bean or any other, so +1 from me! We need open sources for Xperia platform to finish Jelly Bean or any other "free and open public" android rom! Sony sayd about giving "support for open development" so we waiting... We need source code instead of prebuilts because prebuilts on ICS was not good for audio things on CM9 (FXP) so we need these things from source or new prebuilts compatible with CM9! Better is giving us source code for: libsensors, libhardware, ste_omxcomponents, at_core... What about support for Jelly Bean? We can not complete Jelly Bean without source code!

The activity is very low for our phone ... so I advise you to read the info regarding "how to flash" custom ROM's (the link can be found in my first answerto you ...).
It is a very useful to read and first understand what steps are needed to be made in order to flash a ROM ... the info is there ... I can help you if you deliver clear info's regarding your problem... from this post I understood that for now you have a spanish ROM on your phone and that you are trying to flash a french one ... where you got that error "invalid product".... First of all did you do a Hardspl for your phone?

thx friend i do it?
HELLO THERE WANTED TO KNOW FOR ALL MODELS ROMS FOR LESS FOR THIS PLEASE take out a FOR THIS :crying:
If all of you that ask for ROMs on the D625, collaborated and used Google to find tutorials then you would have a working ROM by now.
So please, stop spamming the forums with posts & threads asking for ROMs and start using Google. This is how all of our "developers" got started.
Of course, no offence meant. This post is about anyone who asks for ROMs on any variant, not specifically you

I don't know if you didn't see it, but elasenta can barely understand you in english. Don't expect to get "developers" from people who can't understand a technical tutorial in english (of course, you're not gonna find anything in spanish). And the same for me, you will see i'm writing a really bad english and when I read technicals things in this forum I get so confused. So I can understand elasenta.
Elasenta: O aprendes ingles y lees tutoriales un tanto avanzados (lo veo dificil) o esperamos que alguien de sudamerica con conocimientos suficiente lea los tutoriales. Los europeos no moveran un dedo x nosotros eso te lo aseguro.

I've seen some bad english posts, but this one takes the prize.
And there are some good tutorials in spanish , HTCMania has some good tips on D625 where I did found some info about clean stock roms and other general settings. Unfortunately, the D625 does not get the same development treatment as some other G2 Mini variants sold in english speaking countries (or any non mainstream Tegra device)

The problem with the Tegra SoC is that not many people know how to work on them. If the D625 had a QualComm SoC, then there would be some people that would work on it, even if they don't have it.
So, basically, the problem is that developers don't know how to work on it, not that they don't want to.
