Hi there, there's prolly an answer to my question "somewhere" in this forum, but I'm having hard time finding it, and I have more than 1 question, so i do apologize.
I love XPS stock ICS 4.0.4.......currently have it running on my XPS rooted, somehow, I forgot how I did it rofl.
But my question is.
1 - If I flash the stock ICS 4.0.4 > than > the an ICS Kernal, will that work, and be rooted?
2 - Is there an Already rooted Rom or tft files for XPS ICS?
3 - I use to owned XP Arc, install kernal and go to recovery, and just flash a rom(extension .zip(with this I can mode the apps/theme/icon,etc to the way I like it)), every XPS rom are either stock which is .tft or incomplete or rom with theme i didn't like(with all respect).
Basicly, what I'm looking o do is, installing stock rom, rooted, able to mod/change framework files,etc.
Any help would be appreciated, and thanks.

Before I answer to your question, I would like to ask.
Which Firmware version are you on? I assume it's 2.1 right?
You should install xrecovery (using flashtool)
You can JIT your phone. (your phone should be superfast).(Using flashtool)
You can even upgrade to Wolfbreaks 2.2. Just have a look at dev section

Hi friends,
I am pretty new to this forum and before a couple of days i did a research regarding Flashing Kernals and Roms(Dont knw whether my concepts regarding that is right or wrong) and currently i have installed Cyanogen 9.1 for my device.Now let me ask a couple of questions i have for you guys.
1.Will I be able to update my phone and bring back to old ICS firmware via SUS once i brick my phone(I have already unlocked the bootloader via fastboot method)?
2.Evrytime when i flash the Rom(say CM9) i used to flash kernal(boot.img) for the respective rom.Is this necessary all the time?
Will i able to flash a GB rom on ICS kernal(I am afraid to give it a test)?
3.Regarding CM9.1 which i have installed ryt now,I am satisfied with the performance,but i want a stable ROM wud make me happy with a better battery life unlike CM9.1.So could you pls suggest me a GB/ICS ROM which wud have a stable performance with descent battery life.
4.After using GB for a long time,i was very much addicted with the Phone pad kinda keyboard,but when ICS came into picture everything vanished,Smartkeyboard Pro is no gud,Touchpal is conjusted,i want the exact GB keyboard in ICS.Any ideas?!!

Phone: Xperia Ray
Bootloacker:Unlocked
ROM: GB Stock Rom
1. U need to relock ur bootloader to update ur phone through SUS
2.no need of of flashing kernel every time u flash...if its a stock based Rom u need a stock based kernel...
And u cant fhash ics on top GB kernel..
3.search around ray development forum and try some roms and choose which is best for u..
4.CM9 has a different type of keyboard..some stock based keyboard wont work...but Xperia s keyboard will work..

my first post, please don't flame (too hard).
I've helped others with GPS and Play store glitch after jelly bean update, and now looking for some help.
My wife has an S2 i777 and did SIM unlock to use with T-MO.
It's GB 2.3.6. The PDA is i777 UCKK6.
I'm looking for RTL with Arabic language support. I've done weeks of reading and I found this nice thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1292841 But that ONLY supports UCKH7
This phone is not rooted.
Looking for noob instructions for RTL arabic support.
Thanks in advance.
1. Upgrade to ICS and you should have proper Arabic support sans keyboard - AFAIK Hebrew/Arabic/all RTL language support was first introduced on ICS. When on ICS, download any Arabic keyboard from Play Store and you should be good to go.
2. Or move to deodexed GB ROM (any custom ROM) and run madmack's Arabic patcher (google it and you'll find it). It should work on any deodexed GB ROM, since it's based on Hebrew patcher that decompiles/recompiles the framework - but it's also the reason why it can't work on stock odexed ROM.
I suggest option 1.
Thanks Jack.
1) I heard that ICS was a complete failure and has bricked many i777 S2's. Are you saying to root and use custom ROM as opposed to the ATT update?
2) found what deodexed means... www wugfresh .com /guides / deodex/
Do you have any experience with the i777 S2 and ATT ICS OTA update?
Thanks
1. ICS is generally a better system on this phone IMHO. I do suggest moving to it through custom ROMs rather than through stock official upgrade - stock-based custom ROMs offer stock stability with customization options, and EMBRYO 5.4 is a good ROM that I'm happily running. Not sure how relevant the infamous "brickbug" is, but it's irrelevant for most custom ROMs.
If anyone more familiar with "brickbug" can chime in - you might get a better picture. I got mine with Gingerbread, installed TWRP recovery and flashed custom ROM about 1/2 hour after I got the phone, so I have no experience with stock GB/ICS.
2. "Deodexed" means - not odexed. With Google help:
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-odex-and-deodex-in-android-complete-guide/
Stock ROMs are always odexed, so you'll have to move to a sort of custom ROM anyway. And if you do - you might as well go a better route than staying on GB.
Since I'm the kk6 (2.3.6) GB, do I need to downgrade factory image first in order to root? Or is there a tool out there to root and put a custom ROM (ICS or JB custom ROM).
Thanks
It's not one tool, it's more.
Read the stickies, they contain rooting guides. See that you understand what you're doing before proceeding.
Thanks Jack. I was just wondering if I needed to downgrade GB version first.
No, you don't need.
Just to let you know, there is a thank button to thank the user that helps you.
It's used a lot here on XDA.
You can thank 8 a day.

Hi all,
I have been trying out some JB based ROMs for the last month or so and I have decided to go back to ICS based ROMs but whenever I install a ROM, the phone keeping looping.
Now, I have tried 3 different ROMs and kernels, it doesn't make any difference.
BTW, flashing the stock 587.ftf via flashtool works but I want to install a custom ROM.
Help will be appreciated. Thanks
Anyone?
Make sure you got ICS kernel and ICS ROM.
Hi All.
I Have a Xperia Mini Rooted And Bootloader Unlocked Whit 4.0.4 ICS Android.
I Want To Overclock It to 1.4 And So I Need a Kernel....But That's Not The Major Problem Now...
The Major Problem Is That CWM Says Everywhere That You MUST Be On Android 2.3.6 And It Wont Work In 4.0.4
So How I Install CWM? Isn't There a Way To Install It On 4.0.4 Too?
If some One Helps Me To Install CWM on My Phone And Install a Kernel For It I Will Be So Glad...:victory:
And There Is Another Problem Too...I Decide To Write It Here Too To Decrease Another Post...
the Second Problem Is I Use Xposed modules And So Many(XAD-Xblast-Xui-..) But When I Shutdown my Phone They Will All Be Reseted..So I Have To Do a Soft Reboot...Then They Will Come Back...It's Vivd
If Have Any Idea For This too I Will Be So Happy To Help Me
This question is buried in the desert LOL
