Uhm I have already search the exhaustive 3 pages of the dev section and found nothing related to install cyanogen (or even Free Xperia Project...) on a sk17a
So nobody tried to install it on a sk17a? so far i have search here in the forum and google and dont find anything

it will not work , if you flashed cyanogenmod on your sk17a using any method then network will not work
I have a sk17a, checked CM forums, and it WILL work. It works on mine. There my HSPA is definitely working same as with stock, though I'm not sure if the sk17a has more issues than the sk17i with this rom.
there's no problem, my phone was sk17a, but when i flashed CM7 it displayed sk17i, but the 3G worked with no problems... the variable i/a it's only the frequencies band and it can't be changed by flashing firmwares
sorry about my poor english, i'm "working" on it

Hi everyone,
I have searched XDA-developers and Google and was unable to find any ROMs, generic or not, relating to the ST18a model of the Xperia Ray.
Does anyone have access to this ROM? Or is there a way for me to extract it from my device?
It's be very useful for rooting and whatnot.
Thanks in advance for your reply.

Hey there,
Can you point me to a good tutorial for making your own ROMs from your own device?
Problem solved
Hi, I'm from Mexico, and I was having the same issue you have.
Couldn't get a St18a rom anywhere.
I found this web site:
www(dot)wotanserver(dot)com/en/page/tutorial-debranding-flash-sony-ericsson
They say you have to download the driver package and then a flasher software.
I was a bit unconfident about it.
But since i already had flash tool and had mounted a St18i rom.
The worse could happen, was to have the need to reflash it again.
So, i tried and it worked, just as it said.
You just install the programs, run them, start your phone in flash mode, it detects it and install the driver. Then you have a list of compatible roms, select Generic Us (st18a) and that's it, let it work. It will flash it and tell when its over.
Next, you turn it on, and you have a St18a debranded phone :-D
They ussually charge for this services, by now, you just have to registere and can make 1 flash, totally charge free.
Hope I help you, just as much as all XDA developers have help me trought all my devices.
Best of lucks!
can somebody post stock st18A kernel as i crushed mine and can't download it to reflash
Is anyone with the ST18a nice enough to upload the official ROM? Would it be safe to flash an ST18i ROM on an ST18a?
ST18a and ST18i are based on the same firmware, the only difference is 3G working band.
I am not sure, but the ROMs should work on both. As I said, I am not sure, if someone would confirm this, would be nice.
Just the baseband files from original ST18a ROM would be needed.
I would rather not risk it, might try and find someone that has an ST18a running the stock ROM. Mine should be running the stock ROM, though I wanted to try flashing it with a different one, as it has a battery indicator problem, and I am not sure whether the issue is software or hardware related yet.
Need ST18A 4.0.2.A.0.42 Gingerbread 2.3.4 Stock Firmware also...
Xperia Ray ST18A Canadian (TELUS) came with ICS with too many Problems. Downgraded to 4.0.2.A.0.42 CE (Central Europe) which rebrands phone as ST18i which results in not finding Rogers/Fido 3G. Only 2G. Looked everywhere for the North American 0.42 Version of Gingerbread because it can be Rooted without unlocking Bootloader. I have not found this FTF File ANYWHERE I have searched. I have been looking for over a week. If I find this I will give it to anyone who needs. If someone has it please come here. Thanks!
First of all my Atrix is > ROOTED but LOCKED bootloader with stock android 2.3.4 / 4.5.91.MB860.ATT.en.US
I was playing around with my Atrix and then I entered *#*#4636*#*# >> Phone information >> menu botton >> Select radio band >> USA BAND.
I lost my radio signal, I cannot talk or text.
I searched from the internet to find solution but Non of the informations are up to date.
I'm so noob to fix the phone but I have no choice, I will try it. I bought it from USA and I'm in Turkey now.
What I ve done: FACTORY RESET and Power button+Volumedown button.. Wipe date. None of them has worked.
What can I do to fix it? Please help me, I need to know what to do and HOW to do.

The only way to fix this is by reflashing the baseband (or full flash, but be careful with that).
But I dont know how to do that. Can you tell me what can I do? Or is there any solutions?

I also replied on your other thread. Check it out. If you have to unlock your bootloader you can search the dev forum for radio basebands that work best in your region.

If you want to keep it locked, use full flash with RSD, but make sure you use the EXACT SAME sbf version as the one that's on your phone now.
Hi I am from India.

I think you'd better off sending a pm to the OP of that thread. Those radios he posted are both for the AT&T Atrix. I have an international Atrix with a different radio, so I can't help you any further. Sorry...

System Settings, Call Settings and navigate to Mobile Network. You need to make sure you are set to Automatic and not Manual. This will then use your carrier info from the SIM card to select your operator.

It's to easy, don't panic about this, you can flash ALL the radios out there in the internet for the Atrix 4G and see which one does the best performance for you.
You just need to search in xda something about "Atrix radios" and you will fin a lot, try to use the one recommended for you region.
To flash you just need to do the next steps:
1.- Put the zip file on the sd
2.- Reboot into recovery
3.- Select instal zip from sd card
4.- Search for the place where you put the zip file
5.- flash it
And that's all, it may take a little for the radio to be fully functional, but after a while it will work perfectly
Good luck
EDIT: Here is the link for the Atrix radios http://www.multiupload.nl/G8T8IGZF05
Do i need to Unlock the bootloader and root my atrix 4g for flashing the radio?
or
Is flashing the radio possible without rooting and unlocking?
You need an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery to do any kind of flashing.
Rooting is irrelevant.
I can find one for st15i but they are different and the "i" version will not work for me. Anyone got this? I've looked everywhere. Wotan seems to be the only place to get it. Prefer rooted, unrooted is fine too. Thanks!

Hi guys,
I have a Sony Xperia U (st25i) and the bootloader is locked
So i've gathered I can't root the phone unless i'm in ICS. This is the problem tho... I am with T-Mobile and am currently running Android 2.3.7.
My question is, in my current situation how do I upgrade to ICS (T-Mobile says I have the latest upgrade) also i'm assuming once i'm in ICS I can do some fancy stuff than compared to the Android version I'm in right now !!
Thanks for any help guys.

Hi bz786,
I was in a similar situation like you. had a Xperia U and SIM locked to a company. Instead of endless waiting for the company to release the ICS, I just did flash by myself.
Well... there would be no fancy stuff anyway.. unless you root it and install a custom ROM cuz the stock ROM or company ROM always uses up most of the tight 512M ram cap...
Cheers,
Fish
AW: [Q] Questions from someone without a clue
Hey bz786!
Dont worry you can flash the firmware yourself using the programm "flashtool". Just do some research in google. And here is a link for a .54 firmware and "root-tuorial" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34983966

Thanks guys! I went ahead and used flashtool but... now I have a problem
So once ICS was installed I was ecstatic however my 3G was not working. So what I did was go to the phone settings and download the internet settings again but now the 3G is much slower than previously on Gingerbread. I think I messed something up with the baseband or installed a firmware which has the incorrect firmware settings (for me).
Does anyone know where I can download (UK, UNITED KINGDOM - This is a must I think for the 3G) Sony Xperia U ST25i T-Mobile ICS stock ROM? (Wow that's a mouthful LOL)
Thanks guys!
Pribably you didnt exclude baseband when you flashed ics, because almost all ics here is for i version and you have a, just reinstall ics again and exclude baseband

I'm pretty sure i'm on ST25i, not A and you're right I didn't exclude baseband. Haven't I lose my baseband settings by not excluding it the first time?

Hi there, I believe it has something to do with the area / country in which it was sold, and also the frequency bands for 3G (so in short different areas have different frequency's for phones) .
(I use a X10I rom on my X10A and there seems to be no difference for me .)

I would not recommend doing that if your phone seems to work fine, and if you are having problems with your phone you normally can use Sony pc companion to reinstall the firmware.
The only reason mine runs an X10I firmware is because my phone got bricked and the X10A firmware would not work.

Flashing a x10i rom to my x10a phone switched the working bands from:
umts_bc1, umts_bc2, umts_bc5, umts_bc6
to
umts_bc1, umts_bc4, umts_bc8
Then in order to reconfigure the bands I flashed x10a rom, but It don't worked ¿what's wrong with my phone?
