Hi
If you follow the forum you will find some posts of me trying to have last fw .62 rooted with CWM working. Even if some users can do it by OTA, other by other process I never have total success but like most of you…I simple wont to have last fw .62 working, rooted and with CWM also working. The best I get was .62fw rooted but without CWM working and if install fw.62 by the traditional way I just get SE logo and have to flash it again.
After several times I finally have it work…
The only thing I have so far is that I believe I flash what I think is last baseband and after I flash it my computer says I have a new fw to install!!
This process is using pieces of ideas from others so I just get a way of put all together and have it working for me and decide to share with you.
Like always you can try it at your own responsibility.
Fist you should have .42 fw installed.
Root it.
Install CWM XPERIA from market (not the traditional way)
Download this and put it on your SD card: http://sourceforge.net/projects/sea...tloaderlock/generic/generic620.2.zip/download
Reboot NEO on CWM and install the file.
Reboot your phone and install the previous downloaded file.
At this time you have fw .62 without kernel.
Reboot your phone again and again go to the icon of CWM and reinstall again CWM.
Put you phone off again and flash just the .62 kernel. You can use .62 complete fw and choose only to install kernel.
At this point you should have .62 fw with .62 kernel.
On my case I install CWM again just in case.
If you reboot and press down volume you will have access to CWM.
I flash what I read that was last baseband using this file: http://www.mediafire.com/?tfd8bdbdrcd4bpq (after that my computer advice me to update phone…don´t know way)
For those that consider my guide too nooby…guys was the only way I found…sorry.
For those that somehow contribute with links to have it compiled I thank them.

Dear reader,
I've been trying to root my phone for a couple of days now. (Sony Xperia Ray ST18i)
I've browsed to numerous forums/websites in search of a good tutorial/guide to help me do it.
Finally i've managed to find youtube clips which helped me step by step to getting it done.
First thing i did was this:
How to unlock BootLoader on Xperia Ray[Official 4.0.4 ICS]
[Can't post links on here yet because of the spam block. If you look for the title on youtube, you should be able to find it]
I already encountered my first problem there. I wasn't able to unlock bootloader on my android 4.0.4 so i downgraded my phone to gingerbread 2.3.4. After that i repeated the unlock bootloader tutorial and i succesfully managed to unlock it.
After this i tried to root my phone with the easy rooting kit v.1.0
This worked but after turning my phone on, i noticed that the phone wasn't actually rooted yet.
After contacting the person who made the bootloader video, he told me that i had to flash my kernel. So i went ahead and used another of his video tutorials. (don't mind his english accent btw)
How to flash costum kernel[Sony Xperia Ray]
[Can't post links on here yet because of the spam block. If you look for the title on youtube, you should be able to find it]
Now this, running with gingerbread 2.3.4. worked without a problem and i currently have a custom kernel installed onto my phone.
This is where i run into my problem.
According to his next video tutorial:
How to root Xperia Ray
[Can't post links on here yet because of the spam block. If you look for the title on youtube, you should be able to find it]
He shows that you need to be in your phone's regular menu, in order to root your phone with the easy root kit made by DooM.
My problem is that i currently am stuck in the phone kernel menu. When i try to let my phone load up normally, it just keeps rebooting.
The kernel menu btw looks exactly the same like the one shown in the link below:
Xperia play (HOW TO ROOT, FLASH KERNEL, FLASH ROM )
[Can't post links on here yet because of the spam block. If you look for the title on youtube, you should be able to find it]
Now i've tried my best to be as detailed as possible with what my current situation is.
My question would be: What am i doing wrong and how can i root my phone from where it is right now, because as it stands. I'm unable to use my phone.
Kind Regards,
Cashtecz
ps. ( i did a quick search on the forums but i haven't come across as post that shares the same problem as i have)

Oh one more question.
Is it possible, after rooting my phone to update my android to the latest version?
The current rom that i'm using doesn't have google play store in it, and i would like to have it so i can install apps such as whatsapp.

If your bootloader is unlocked, not via pc companion or over the air.
On which rom are you currently on?
Normally you do a backup with for example titanium backup and flash the custom kernel, install the custom rom and restore the titanium backup...
P.S.: For every android version there is a zip file which contains the "gapps" (google apps like playstore) which you can flash with clockworkmod

Yes and no, the gapps aren't specific for cyanogenmod, just use the link i posted. Flash them, but rachit.rc96 posted an invalid link, cause they were for ics...

Okay so i've installed Cyanogen 7 and i made sure to download the file that was appropiate for my phone ST18i
I followed all of the steps but for some reason when i try to start my phone, it keeps rebooting when it asks me to press the android.

Yes i did exactly what the guide said:
8. Now select “Wipe Data / Factory Reset” and then “Wipe partition cache” option (this is why you need to backup your data from the Xperia Ray).

Try another rom than cyanogenmod 7. Maybe try cyanogenmod 9 or 10. Or you install the kernel+zip again...

Good news! i downloaded a different cyanogen 7 cm-7.2.0-urushi.zip and that one seems to be working.. now all i need to do is flash gapps and everything should work. I'll try that right now!
EDIT: Everything is working.. Appstore was already included with this cyanogen and i'm finally installing my phone now.
Thank you all so much for your help.

hello guys ! I followed some tutorial and made everything exactly as told, I had recently update to 4.0.4 and now when I did the unlock bootloader, Installing CWM and Rooting for 6.0.B.1.564 firmware and when comming to tutorial number 3 called "Official Firmwares flash by Flashtool" , I downloaded it and there was 2 files which was impossible to drag to the flashtool screen So I skipped it. I found something else on the forum called prerooted system and I flashed it over and now I am back to 2.3.7, did I manage to do something? If you would help me I could pay you for helping me! btw, I am new on this fields, so yeah I am n00b on this :<
thanks in advance,
mtony
you updated to ICS then youve flashed the prerooted 2.3.7 thats why youre back on gingerbread. im assuming you did right on unlocking your bootloader.
you just need to flash any ICS stock firmwares
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599303
then after flashig, install any custom kernel you like to try,
since your new i want you to try the advanced ics kernel first,
look @ my signature theres a link for advanced ics,also the other kernel.

hey guys.. am still new to the world of ANDROID.. so i need some help please..
i wanted to update my GB Samsung Galaxy SII rom to the ICS rom.. so i wanted to start by rooting..
i rooted my phone and everything went okay and i also removed the Yellow Triangle..
my problem is.. now i want to flash a new rom to my S2..
i booted into recovery mode..
1st problem is that i didn't find a "Backup & Recovery" option as i saw in many videos..
the main problem is that i wiped the cash and the user data
but when i clicked on apply * from sdcard !!
and choosed the rom i've downloaded.. it didn't work.. i had an error saying that E: Signature Verification Failed
so.. and when i wanted to do a recovery using the CWM app.. i didn't find the backup and recovery option
if you have acsess to download mode, then reroot your phone, then you will gain acsess again to recovery & backup.

Sorry, I didn't express myself correctly. I meant you can reflash a stock unrooted firmware (kernel, rom) and then root it again.
okay guys.. am so sorry for the mistake i've made.. my probles was that i was going to the reboot mode using the cwm.. not the up-home-power buttons..
i told you am still new .. i thought they are the same .. anyway...
i recovered the rom with all the apps and everything is okay now.. but
the question is why i can't flash that rom ?? .. even with the right recovery mod it's still doesn't want to be flashed. ??
could it be because of the version of the rom ! ??
and is there a way to know what rom can i flash ??
and i also have a problem.. it's that the samsung kies isn't supporting my device.. i used it once and after rooting my cell it doesnt want to work again.. ??

First off you don't need to be rooted to up grade your firmware. The best source for firmwares is Samfirmware.com where you download a tar. file then flash it in the PDA section of odin. Please read the sticky threads in this forum as there is loads of good advice and guides from expert users. All the best.

Thank you all guys.. i flashed the ICS 4.0.4 firmware to my Galaxy S2 I9100.. and everything is okay..
now i am wondering how to root it ?
is it the same way for the GB?
actually i tried the same way but when i flashed the CF Root --LPH my phone died !! .. i mean it begin restarting every time i turn it on..
my Baseband version is I9100XXLQ6
and the kernal version is I900JPLPH
please send me a link that works..
There are a couple of methods to root. If you only want to root and not bother with custom ROMs, kernels and the like, use Rachmat3's temporary cwm to get root. Search for it.
If you wanna install custom ROMs, you could install a the TAR version of a custom kernel like siyah or dorimanx via Odin. Steps on how to do so can again be found with a simple search.

This should do,
1) Backup everything
2) Install Siyah Kernel (latest: http://www.gokhanmoral.com/?p=1536) using Odin (tar file)
3) Now you are rooted with Siyah Kernel and a CWM based recovery
4) You can then install any ROM/Kernel of your choice (if you need)
But "Search" - There are countless threads
thanks alooott
i really dunno how to thank you guys.. everything is working now as i want it to be.. thank you all guys ..
if i need some more advanced help who should i ask.. things more like programming
because,
i am 3rd year student and i am studying Communication and Computer Networks engineering.. and i am thinking about doing a programing project..
so if any one can help me.. i'll be so thankful ..
again thank you all guys
Do you have disabled the signature verification in recovery before flashing the rom?? Try this and see...

This are a debranded STOCK ISC for Xperia U, so only the branding is removed, everything else is there.
They are rom.zip preroted, with cwm included and cwm flashable.
For all bootloders.
Code:
Im not responsible if you brick your phone, and if you do.. ITS YOUR FAULT
Instructions:
Put the zip on you sd-card , boot in to cwm, do all the wipes, install the zip, reboot, DONE!
You can (should) do a factory reset after a couple of (10-15)minutes , let it settle first.

I try to download and i downloaded 28% in 1-2 minutes
i could download it without any issue.
installed it , reboot it , used it for a while.
it's quite fast, stable.
yet, i couldn't make google play work. it worked for a little time, then when it asked to be upgraded (hangouts thing), it wasn't loading anything, a bunch of server errors, etc.
went back to my old backup. if i had some more time, i would try harder.
anyway, thanks for the convenience

Your debranded .89 fw still has your son andrej in the wallpapers
Hahaha , never mind .. i guess people will download the .100 version , not the .89, i just put it there to have them in one place.
The v.89 was made from a backup of an working MY installation, then cleaned up... 99% obviously
And the v.100 is made from extracted system files from the ftf, so its 100% clean , i just debranded it, and i added root and cwm to it, so.. no pictures there
I'm interested in installing .100, can I do so on a custom ROM? I mean, I'm using eXperience v2.1, based on .54 firmware. I already got CWM etc. Can I install .100 directly via CWM or shoud I reinstall .54 stock first, root, cwm and then .100?

Just wipe everything and flash . My way of flashing was: factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, format/system, then flash the ROM.

@pirej, there is still a EA app in your ROM. Isn't it a bit of branding?

This is the rom my wife wanted. Thanks!
