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 my xperia live with walkman's bootloader unlocked the normal sony way. I am on 0.62 firmware. What now?
I am basically looking for rooting and CWM installations...but the ways i find for installation of CWM require root and the methods for rooting require CWM.
Any help?
P.S. I am open for long methods...noob with the phone, not with technology
Try to use Doomlord's Root.

Well you need a kernel with pre-rooting and CWM. For that i recommend Rage kernel v2.8 you can even use x kernel. All you need is an unlocked bootloader.
When ever i flash back to stock .62 on my Mini i immediately flash Rage kernel and everything is up ready to be modded.
Hope this helps.

Hey guys, hate starting new threads, but yet again I think my problem is unique. I bought an Xperia Neo, unlocked the bootloader, flashed .62 down to .42 (so I can root), rooted it, and my wi-fi doesn't work. There is a full stable network, but it doesn't recognize it. I tried other networks, but all my friends' wi-fi works perfectly, and I can't even find the network. The wi-fi itself turns off after a few seconds of being on, What could I havew done wrong? Please help.

Do a backup and flash .64 Why on earth did you downgrade back to .42 just to root when your bootloader is unlocked? Just install a custom kernel with CWM and flash a superuser zip.
P.S. DON'T DO OTA. You might brick your PHONE!
jasonwsc is right
Flash .62 and then do one of the unlocked bootloader methods to gain root acces or even better install a custom rom.
DONT GO FOR ICS you will regret it..
Anyway maybe it is a bug with .42 firmware edition
Jut upgrade to .62

Google it! You'll find it on superuser developer's site. Ready to flash. Also if you dont want any trouble of those things, just flash a custom ROM like codename.

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.
I recently rooted and installed cwm on my Neo V, so I can install cyanogenmod. I was going to unlock the bootloader before installing cyanogenmod, but someone told me that the bootloader needs to be unlocked before rooting.
So my question is, do I need to unroot, as well as remove clockworkmod to unlock bootloader? Please help!

I've searched but can't seem to find an answer to my question, this thread seems to be closest. I have unlocked BL, rooted and flashed cm10 on my wife's Neo V, because on stock rom it was too slow. Runs great, really happy. Only problem, she uses a Barclays Bank app, but because it has detected that the phone is rooted, it won't let her use it. Can I unroot without losing the custom rom, or a way around making the app "beleive" that the phone isn't rooted?

Get another bank... Cant use cyanogenmod without root because root is part of cyanogenmod.. So next time yo need a phone with cyan you only need to fix bootloader and then flash you rom.. No root needed
I was very happy with the performance of GB on my xperia U but there was no root for GB. I was told that in order to get root I have to update to ICS. So I did via update manager and am on the 6.1..54 firmware. Its horrible, slow and laggy.
I used both methods of rooting, flashtool and Bin4ry's both have failed and dont work. My phone cannot be rooted.
So can anyone tell me how I can root this firmware?
Also can I go back to stock GB? if yes please tell me how.
Thank you

.54 cannot be rooted using binary but theres a method where you have to flash the .10 kernel and then root using binary and flash back the .54 kernel and you will be rooted.......
Search the dev thread for it you will find the kernels........

Does this method require unlocked bootloader? I mean the one involving flashing .10 kernel and then back .54 one. Sorry for the "noobish" question, but I just began to explore the root/flashing aspects of my XGO and the proccess is completely different from my previous samsung phone, so it's like begining from zero point again at knowledge.

No. Flashing stock kernel does not require unlocked bootloader, u can keep it locked. there are plenty of guides available here so dont worry.

Thanks for the reply. Indeed I managed to root, install CWM recovery and flashed my first rom at my XGO.
Another "noobish" question if you can answer is that I backed up my rom before flashing the custom rom, yet in the clockwordmod folder in internal memory now there is nothing in it. Did the flashing erased my back up? So I cannot get my original FW, since I didn't back it up at my pc? I mean I had greek FW branded to a carrier, so if I need to send it to service, how am I supposed to get it back? To be honest I didn't see a such situation coming so I was unprepared.

No i didn't. I still have locked bootloader. that's why i flashed v4 rom for locked bootloader. Yet I may try v5, since it's compatible with LB as well. just i'll have to flash the boot.img through flashtool if I remember correctly from what I read in that thread.
