Hello
i have GB now with firmware .62
is there a way to upgrade to ICS doing root easily?
I don't want flash the old kernel, but i search a way to get ICS trought others steps. I'm thinking to flash .562 and the update via OTA, but wotaserver haven't got .562 firmware.
How can I do? There will be a way ...
If I may ask, why you don't want to flash old kernel just for 2 mins(or how much it needs to boot phone root, and flash back new kernel), and then flash back new kernel, but would rather do OTA update?
Just curious
Also, you didn't say which phone you have? But there is .562 for Neo V, and can be used on Neo plus patch, which is still worse(for Neo) than what I wrote above
Yes, I have Neo
I don't know why, probably to not commit mistakes or something wrong.

Technically you can't go wrong, if you follow steps
One note ahead, if you bite the bullet and go for it. Don't worry if you get some errors after flashing Neo V kernel on Neo, just run root toolkit.

Hi everyone!
I'm tired using custom roms for their instability and fc's everywhere for over a year I didnt found Rom that works perfect all the time with many apps installed so I just want to my phone work, dont want to flash new system every month again.
I was running stock with deleted apps, Set Cpu (tnx to gregbradley (edit: that was neoxx3m very good advidce, sorry my bad) and z-kernel for about 4 months and I was happy, that was one and only Rom that i've used so long. Yes it wasnt so fast but it was very stable and everything works so nice not even one fc. (kindda wierd couse ive installed z-kerner on my Unlocked BL x10 and now I can't and dont wanna to play and relock)
So i wanna repair my phone and get back to stock, root it, delete all uneeded apps and flash the most stable kernel so will it be failsafe from doom right?
And the question is will my plan work? I know that phone will not be so fast but will everything work and this is all I need or maybe someone has better idea?
Also have some questions about the newest fw for this Doom UB kernel. Where do i get this newest se fw?
Any help will be very appriciated.
Restore the phone back to stock using SEUS. That should do the trick

Last few ROMS Ive installed from scratch. So repair, root, etc I've even format sd card everythime i flash new rom. The question is:
Will doomkernel work on stock rom repaired in pc companion?
Will it be stable?
DoomKernel is stable on stock unlocked BL, but u have few version. X, S and one more i think. Look at his thread an try it.

Have to try but Doom writes thet this kernel is for NEWEST SE FIRMWARE, will it work on stock just repaired in pc companion?

I was running stock with deleted apps, Set Cpu (tnx to gregbradley advidce) (...) and I was happy,

It will work because when u repair ur phone via PCC u get latest firmware (2.3.3/3.x.x.x.x.x), but my advice is to try relock BL and use zKernel, i did that yesterday and i'm happy again!
Sent from my "z10i"
I told you that dont wanna play with bootloader no more, maybe for some time i would like to try some kernel or rom (if im not happy for using stock and doom) and will have to unlock again so im patience (tring to) and will not to this for a while.
Anyway strange is that i flash zKernel even if i had unlocked Bootloader and it work fine but when i tried to do this again ( didnt know that this kernel is fo Locked only) it didnt work
Hello
I have alf v8 on my x8. Think it's time to upgrade to v9a. Just a small question. If I unlock my cell once would it stay unlocked forever?
Also I am just wondering: normally if something goes wrong with replacement of ROM we could always use backup from CWM to revert it. Yet if something goes wrong with kernel upgrade I suppose there's nothing we could do except going all the way back to stock kernel? If worse comes to worse that I need to go back to stock kernel do I need to perform BL lock again?

Is it possible to make a pre rooted ICS ROM?
What files a need and their places?
I have a XMP, i tryed rooting by flashing the 4.0.3 kernel but the device just bootloop, then,
i tryed by flashing GB...58 then rooting and then upgrading to ICS and IT Worked, but by this method the battery seens to drain faster :S... i dont know!!
So tryed lots of things to fix but... nothn!! so thats why i want to make a pre rooted ROM.
make things clean

Thanks
Dude your signature says locked bootloader, it's normal it bootloops if you tried flashing kernel like this...

I tried to see a way to make a FlashTool installable pre-rooted rom, but seems like there's no way
As of now, i'm trying to make a pre-rooted custom rom for LWW, and Android Kitchen allows the creation of one. This, of course, will be a .zip file which has to be installed from CWM, so i'll still need to do all the steps you did to get CWM, so, as far as i know, we're stuck into rooting the long way

He flashed stock kernels... there's no problem with that even on locked bootloaders.

How could he try rooting using stock kernel since that's what he says he tried to achieve?

Come on guys,
i dont want be blamed because of any war in italy
please please :highfive:
From history you should know that Italians never start wars, we always wait for others to start, jump in after a while so we know which side has most chances of winning and eventually switch sides at the end

I'm on my way to create a clean ics rom PRE-ROOTED, i just don't have enough time, if you would like to give me a hand i will apreciate that.
In the mean time just root your phone the long way, update to 4.0.4 an then install CWM Recovery and finally install this ROM, is the one i'm using right now and run really smooth, and it's pre rooted.
If you need help with any of those steps pm me.
All of sudden, I encounter a problem with my xperia p xLoud function...
I don't know what happens to my xloud function but the issue is, whenever I recieve a call and after attending, my xloud goes voilent and produce a sound above its frequency, I mean it produce some xtra loud voice which produce some noisy sound and seems somehow awkaward....
nd to normalize it, I have to toggle xloud 2 times to make it restart!!!
bt it again persist when I recieve another call!!!
if any1 having same prob or any1 have sol, plz post.
any help is overwhelmingly acceptable!!!
And the overloud exist in music, touch sounds, ringtone any many, i don't remember them all!!!
Odds are you just have a corrupted file. Try a factory reset and if that doenst work, flash the Stock ftf over it one more time and see if its fixed
Hope it helps
Cheers & Merry Christmas
Repair using pc ccompanion
Quite impressed, someone on xda cares for mobiles and as well as humanuty...:cyclops:
Anyhow, back to work, isn't there any way to do it without flashing stock ftf, factory reset took me a long procedure...

Sorry dude, Bootloader Unlocked and don't have time to relock it and them flash stock rom....
As in the previous, I don't want to mess with my fone anymore, its been less dan 3 months and love my fone...
My phone's probably seen more FTF flashes in past 2 weeks alone than half the people over here Try 20-30 flashes And dude, try flashing with "Wipe data disabled".. You shouldnt lose any settings with that
Let us know how it works out Merry Christmas
If you have. 54 fw so its a normal known bug lots of people have it, waiting for a fix

Did you have the same issue with xloud in B.1.10 and also, have you tried using AC!D Audio Engine ?

Glad to c ur fone ability to be flashed around 20-30 times in just 2 weeks!!!!:fingers-crossed:
I've been flashing customs kernel like doomlord and thp ics, bt all that in the previous fw .544
and i've root it also in dat fw...
Bf after the latest update over xperia p i.e .54 , rooting method for binary doesnt works
So after that, I've make no alteration to my fone and I don't like any other custom kernel over stock!!!
So back to topic, I think I've solved the problem after ur said "Factory Reset" method....
Note: "I THINK" em not sure about it

As respond to ur reply, I haven't try B.1.10..... I just moved directly to .544 to .54 ...
nd wat is this AC!D Audio Engine???
Firstly, it was 20-30 per day Yeah. I did alot of testing and I was too lazy to make a quick restore as opposed to going back to Stock to test again
And rooting with .54 is possible by Bin4ry. What you do is, you flash the B.1.10 kernel over the .54 rom, then root it using Bin4ry, and after that flash back the .54 kernel
Simple and sweet
And I asked about .10 firmware because if it was an issue with .54, we could fix it by using the libs from .10
And finally, AC!D Audio Engine is a collection of Audio Tweaks If your xloud was corrupt, flashing that might replace corrupt xloud and add a few new filters too

Oh Dats gr8, u reply too soon....
So acc to me, I flashed only kernels and nothing more, bcuz wat I feel is stock rom is better than any other custom rom...
yeah I have seen many roms under xperia p rom section and take a look on the screenshots, but again the problem persist, backup and restore tool me a long procedure and I am too lazy as like you...:angel::cyclops:
So plz do me a favour , I will now move towards rooting procedure, jst provide me with pure stock kernel of both .10 and .54....
remember, pure sony branded stock kernel...
and 1 thing I want to ask, if I flashed a kernel, my all data gets erased like settings messeges contacts and downloaded apps, em I ryte???
And the thing bout the acid audio engine, I need a cwm recovery, and its not there in stock kernel, I think so.. em I ryte again!!
$o give me a method thru which I still at the latest stock kernel with root and and cwm inside it...
Will b grateful to press thankx next time also if provided with certain requirements get fulfilled!!!:angel:
Unfortunately, I dont think anyone's made a Stock Kernel with just Root and CWM for P. And you'd need unlocked bootloader for it anyway.
Lets go step-by-step..
1) Stock Kernel without data loss
First of all,do you have the stock FTFs of .10 and .54 f/w? If so, then open up Flashtool,select the FTF and untick all the options on top right side (ie,the "WIpe data,etc stuff) and tick all the options on bottom right (ie the exclude baseband stuff.etc) EXCEPT the "Exclude Kernel" option.. Easy way to flash Kernel alone without losing data
If you dont have the Stock FTFs for both, you can get FTF with just the Kernel from here : Stock Kernels for P by naruto20007 And follow same procedure I said in above paragraph to flash Kernel without losing data
2) Rooting :
With .54 Rom flashed, and .10 Kernel, root with Bin4ry method ( I advise using v9 or v12 cause they always work for me.. Ignore errors and follow the prompts.. It gets rooted in the end ) Then flash back to .54 Kernel and you got Root
3) CWM : Checkout CWM by Atis
PS: While you're trying out roms, can you just flash my rom and see if it boots and works without lag ? I been waiting forever for feedback and noone responded yet :/ I want to release it on Christmas if possible hence the rush ;D If you got some extra time,check it out Its in General Section right now. And size is :38MB only
First of all, I don't have those .10 and .54 fw as I always upgrade thru OTA....
Bt last time I was on unlocked bootloader and I don't know that I can't update it anymore over the air...
So I give it to sony centre to update it, as I relock its bootloader and my fone didn't start and I don't know the rest of the process
So fortunately my bootloader get locked and sony service centre repaired and update it...
So wat links u have given are both of CWM by Atis....
plz give me links for both kernel as the fw are too big to download them....
And thess day em out of pc as my motherboard get ruined up, so usually do all stuffs on my frndz comp...
So I try it nd tell uh!!
At last plz post the links...
Thank You.

No but if the issue isnt there in .10, Ill bring that version of xloud to .54 so you can use latest firmware without that bug

Hi every1, I have an xu and it's been a while since i flashed it to 2.3.7 (Build .184) and now it's working kinda slow... also I wanna go back to ics for many reasons.. I was pretty sure that now i could just update my phone to ics using pcc but both, PCC and US tell me that I already have the latest android version for my device...
So my question is- how can I flash back to ics? which ics build is the best in ur opinion(most importantly smooth!!)? and how can I root my phone with that version? (cuz i know that last time i tried rooting .54 with Binary's root method it didn't work for me)
Can any1 please help me answer these questions? and add good guidelines, I'm a nub when it comes to this
Thanks in advance!!

The only Sony ICS I've used was .54, and to root it the hard way (that is, without BL unlock) you must replace the kernel with the one from .10
I'm also a very satisfied GB user, but trying AOSP 4.1.2 now

But .54 was very slow... e.g. camera takes 3-4 sec to capture, plus had many bugs and didnt work smoothly...
some1 suggested that i install .84 but idk if it's better than gb and if it's rootable..

2- Yes, you still use the .10 kernel + flashtool root + reinstall stock kernel
1- You inspired me to try a home slimmed .100, but my opinion says it'll be worse than GB .188
should use pre rooted kernel, as the kernel Sliding ICS.
already root and cwm :good:
