no, usually the rom contains the root, do u mean custom kernel?
what rom are u using? stock rom go with doomlords v6
custom roms go with what the dev provides u with
I'm a bit confused.
Please go read the Android Dictionary here, (Clickie!)
it contains all android-stuff words and things all newcomers do not know. it is very helpful ^^, and after that, you can clarify your question ^^
desperately want to try this rom..but when booting into recovery it freezes..getting wlod! :crying:
using the kernel provided in the link i.e:
Semc_Debrand_Engine_Kernel_DX8
any solution?
No buddy, I don't know how to help you. Do you have unlocked Bootloader?
yup i've unlocked bootloader..desperately wanna try ur rom! :crying:
But I don't know how to help you - don't know the reason of not working Kernel....My suggestion is flash Stock 2.3.3 from PcCompanion and make EVERYTHING (root, busybox, recovery etc.) again. I know it's painfull but maybe somewhere is a problem that will be fixed if you start from zero. Best wishes buddy.
Hi, I know the update 4.1.b.0.587 it's out, and I want to update my mini pro, but I'm stuck on .431 so anybody knows how can I update my SK17A because I tried with SEUS, and it says I already have the last update, PC companion say's the same thing, so if someone could help me that will be perfect..I have the mini pro SK17A not the SK17I
At the moment,4.1.b.0.587 is out only for Sk17i i guess.
Sk17a is till .431 as of now.
Have you seen someone using an sk17a with .587?

not really, but i dind't know that the sk17i was that different from the sk17a that's to bad, but i guess i should wait then
i guess i'm gonna forget about that update for know, so i have another question, and i hope someone could help me..as i have an stock rom, android 4.0.4, with stock kernel, compilation .431, no root, no unlocked bootloader, no nothing actually xD so my question is, my phone with ICS is a little slow, mostly on games, and i would like to know is what i need to do to solve that? i read on other threads that flashing a different kernel can fix that, it's that true? and besides, can i flash an custom kernel having an stock rom? how can i do that? i guess i need root on my phone first, i can do that, but i need to unlock the bootloader? that i don't want to do it
a stands for america!
And i is the international version!
That's what ive heard!
Idk what the differences are though

Yes custom rom/kernel will make ur phone smooth in every way. But for trying custom kernel u need boot loader unlocked.But u can try custom rom without unlocking boot loader if u have rooted :good:

Thanks! But i was talking about having stock rom with custom kernel, or do i need both for make it work better?..besides, the reason i haven't rooted my phone and unlocked the bootloader is becauses is to hard! XD i remember when i used to have a motorola milestone, you just need to install the app universal androot, or use superone click, and that's it, you have your phone rooted, but know it's to difficult, i have a galaxy nexus too, i recently root that one, and it wasn't easy either but i did it, but with this one, the xperia mini, it looks like having root and unlock the bootloader it's no for everyone
After rooting,when I'm on cyanogenmod9 on ics,I can overclock to 1.6 ghz too while gaming.no lag in using phone too.though my bootloader is unlocked. I would suggest you to root for a better experience!
Cheers.

U must unlock bootloader to use custom kernel even u use with stock rom.just unlock ur bootloader its not that tough.the easiest way to root after that just flash a custom kernel which is pre-rooted( like rage kernel & many) via flashtool.u will have root access

To flash custom kernel you need unlocked bootloader, but for flashing custom ROM you need root and/or unlocked bootloader. Mostly of the ROMs work on locked bootloader too but if you want to play games so much you should Install Pure AOSP/AOKP based ROM and if you want best experience with games you should also install custom kernel.

I have tried with my xperia go but the result was a phone with so much problems i think you also need to clear lots of cache in order to do it.
Hope someone give us the recipe to a successful downgrade without losing root.
Simply flash a pre rooted rom

If anyone sees pre-rooted FTFs, please let us know!
I've Sola btw.
Nice idea, to flash a prerooted rom, like KA XPERIA SSPEED, The Brains ROM or XPeria SuperCharged
but i forgot to mention that i have locked bootloader

As long as i have been seeing the only ones that can make ftf is sony =(
With flash tool you have to decrypt sony update files to make ftf files so i think they have a special signature so we can't modify then flash those?.
The only way to install it custom gb is with CWM right?
Hope someone keep us out of the dark age about this topics.
Hi, folks. I'm wondering how to change my kernel, I saw some tutorials about how to unlock bootloaders, so the situation is this: Actually my xperia sola is rooted and locked bootloader running under stock ICS .54, sorry ,if it's a noob question but I like to be sure regarding I'm doing before messing up my phone.
1. I need to unlock bootloader https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vq6EwuK-vDI&feature=youtube_gdata_player (in order to be able to flash a custom kernel like brain kernel).
2. Flash custom kernel. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2075093
is that it?
Any help would be appreciated.
