Hi,
I have an Xperia S locked boot loader. I have rooted it using the Rooting Xperia S ICS and GB (Locked Boot loaders) method but was wondering is their any way to flash the Cyanogen Mod 10 Alpha on it with the boot loader locked and unlock allowed = no.
Thanks in advance and links for the Rooting and Cyanogen Mod 10 below.

Hello,
I'm also in that situation
For now there is no solution... and probably never will be. Suposadely people with acess to S1 Servers could solve the problem, but Sony closed server and I think they will not re-activate...
You can flash custom roms as long as they don't required modified kernel.
You have at least 3 custom roms on XDA to use on locked BL: Miui, [email protected] and XCream

I would leave Miui to try as a last option and try the other two first. Miui is pretty different to stock etc, the others are more similar so it wouldn't be such a change. However Miui is beautiful

I'm using precisely that: MIUI
As told, the other 2 roms are stock roms with some cleaning and optimization.
I like MIUI because it has a lot of additional options and configs available.
Only one thing I couldnt solve: to have sound buttons to wake phone... not very important, but usable.
KA rom also can be installed withouth unlocking the BL

OK so i wanted to troll all of you
Flash this "surprise kernel" with flashtool and see the magic
ONLY FOR UNLOCKED BOOTLOADERS

NOTE :
1. This was something sort of proof-of-concept. I tried doing this in my spare time.
2. I do NOT have enough time/knowledge to debug and fix this. This is not fully working.
3. This is just for fun. Once fun is over (in a day or 2) i request Mods to transfer this thread to apps/themes section.
4. As a long time contributor of the X10 forums, you can be assured that this will not brick your device, though if you are uncertain, please do NOT flash it. In any way i am not responsible for any calamity.
5. Please flash back to the kernel you were previously using after having fun with this.
6. If any dev wants to continue this work and finish it please PM me, I'll tell you how to set up the repo and compile this.

Honestly, it looks very promising. I personally don't like the current touch recovery for X10. It takes too long to find a file to flash only viewing one file at a time while scrolling. I always select good old original CWM because I can scroll to a file much faster. Also, I heard Championswimmer was about to release a new updated kernel. Any truth to that rumor?

Hi!
Please, I wish to know if someone have some tip to get working the screen wakeup with the volume key for the Huawei Ascend G700!!
I recently aquired a this cellphone (Mediatek Quadcore 1,3 ghz 5" IPS screen), in my opinion a nice device for the bucks.
I come from a Huawei Ascend Y300, with the volume key wakeup mod in it (i must to thank the great help i received from the user VavanL in the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44264908#post44264908 about the volume beep in the screen unlock.
If someone can help me in this i will thank him a lot, cause is very annoying for me always unlocking the device with this little and weak power on button...I remember the key of the thing was this 3 system files
system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl
system/usr/keylayout/querty.kl
system/framework/android.policy.jar
Thanks everyone!
Ok, first of all - what OS version you have(4.2 perhaps)
And second - where file links, man... Maybe I know how to help you

Hi VavanL!!!!!!
Long time i see you!
Sadly the G700 (great device by the way) is stuck in android 4.2.1 (waiting to mediatek free the code for the soc).
I see in the mod for the Y300 some devs add the line "WAKE" on the volume key.....but, im stuck with the android_policies.jar, i dont know how to modify them.
s
I add my untouched files!! Friend, i hope u can do your magic with it. (i have to add generik and qwerty as a rar cause dont let me to upload normally, decompress please).
Hi, pal!
Sry, but You have odexed rom - need to deodex it for future editing

The android 4.2.1 from my cellphone is untouched and i just copy the files, i remember to send u the Y300 files in the same way..
I dont have this kind of knowledge to do what the guide says...
Anyway pal, many thanks for all your responses, u are great!
I guess my G700 stays as it is.
...it's the way to edit android.policy file...Also you may flash already-deodexed custom rom for your phone

So the best way would be to put a "custom rom" and so this way i can send to you the correct files dont you?

Can i ask u a favor? Could you do some little guide when do you have some free time?
I gladly wait for it all the time you need..
I see they solved the "bootlop error" who many people has when they put the custom recovery.
Would be great if you can help us (there is so much people in the Htcmania.com forum waiting for a clear guide to install some Custom Firmware in there) and nobody do it until now as we can find.

Hi, diving in the web i find this..
http://customizegadget.blogspot.com.es/2014/05/huawei-g700-u10-how-to-install-cwm.html
What do you think?
Is so weird, this blog is the only translated method i was able to find....but im a little doubtfull.
It's very similar to that one i found in russian forum.
But they insist, that you must flash stock rom from official site first.
WARNING! For owners of the U10 and U20!!! Before you install a custom recovery compulsory flash stock firmware through "three keys"(Push both volume up (+) and volume down (+) plus Power Switch)!
Otherwise you will get bootloop!!!

It will be a few months since the j6 came out but we still have no news about customs roms on this phone. Would anyone have any information about this, and is it possible to flash j7 (2016) roms on j6 since they have the same processors? Thank you in advance for answers .
(Sorry if my english may not be clear , I'm french)
No, it is not possible. The J6 uses different display drivers.
I am currently working on porting a ROM from the J5 Pro with great features, but I am still trying to eliminate some bugs.
I may share a BETA soon, but I don't know yet.
So far I don't think any other recognized developer will pick this device up. It offers nothing new to previous phones, some would say it is just a waste of a phone lol
(I got it for free)
So yeah.

Unlock your bootloader.. read through the difference sections to see the offering good luck
If you want the most you need to unlock bootloader, install custom recovery, and then a custom rom (aosp or miui). The custom rom will not have all the bloat and perform much better along with giving you more features.

Thank you for the advice. Could you tell me where I can find all the resources needed and necessary steps to do all of that? Also without doing all of that, is there a guide to fully take advante of the cameras and how to do it?
I noticed when unlocking bootloader that there is a Mi Unlock status option. Should that also be unlocked?
i found the official twrp app in the play store, is that something that could be used?

Under this section you will find the recoveries available for our device https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-8-Lite/development no TWRP official available from the app.
About your questions of the rom no point to say this is better than that so the better for me might not be the better for you, you have to check the thread of the roms, download them and check them your self, no better way to test by your own that all that you need works for you so most of the roms actually work fine for some things but have bugs for other things.
If you unlocked bootloader the message that appears on Mi Logo "unlocked" is normal.
