Good afternoon, I am new in this theme and would like to ask a couple of things that I have not found an answer here in the forum. I have a Xperia Ray St18a, he came with Android 2.3.3 and I upgrade to 2.3.4 (4.0.2.A.0.62)(via OTA). Now I have the bootloader unlocked, I'm root and I have the CWR installed and I want to install the ROM RayOniumICS.v7 S Revolution, in the post the "Chef" recommended to install the official ICS ROM first but I do not understand how or which ROM install first. I've never flashed any other ROM in this Phone. I hope you understand me (my English sucks) and can help me. Thank you very much.:good:

Thanks for responding,:good: I'll try to do what you say. You'll understand that I can not ask in the original thread of the ROM due my novice condition, for that reason I have to ask here. Which of these tft Stock Firmware you recommend for my St18a? and If I install the RayOniumICS ROM could I lose my 3G frequencies? ( I have a Xperia Ray St18a and no St18i like the devs and the others) Thank you again.

Try this to get ICS for st18a
Try editing your build.prop file. Look in /system/build.prop.
Open it with RootExplorer and edit
See attached picture, change the numbers that are in the red box (will be different on you build.prop) to this 1252-5344
Save and exit for every file you modded.
Reboot your phone. Turn off and use SEUS.
If this doesn't (with that number) try asking in the general section for the cda number of an st18a user who has got android 4.0.4 update.
If it does work, then now you have ICS official update.
Now you need to flash a kernel that is pre-rooted and has cwm, which you will have to unlock your bootloader to do.
Then you can flash whatever rom you want to.
Cheers,
Evil.
OK, thank you very much for asking in the original post, I will be tuned to the thread, and I'll try later to do what you say. Thanks for your help and answers.

My friend, If I flash that official ICS ROM (going to flash 4.0.4 - 4.1.B.0.431 (North America)) could I lose the Root and the Unlocked Bootloader?

You will loose root but you wont loose your unlocked bootloader. To get root back once you have flashed stock 4.0.4, flash a custom kernel, which should be pre-rooted and have cwm installed. Boot to cwm and flash the custom rom you want.

Hello My friend, I keep in my process of installing ICS 4.0.4, I'm in 4.0.4 - 4.1.B.0.431 (North America), I lost the root and I do not know how and wich prerooted Kernel install.

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.

Don't want to flash a custom ROM, a lot of reasons.. But thanks a lot for your assistance

this worked on mine mate
DONT FORGET TO HIT THANKS IF IT WORKED
Supporting UNLOCKED bootloader only! :-/
So this is simply stock ICS build .587 without ANY mods, flashable in CWM
The only thing I did, is remove the humongous amount of what I think is bloatware.
But fear not, if you're really fond of those 68 apks (61MB), I've created a flashable package for you to flash 'em back
I did this in an attempt to make it easier for some guys who keep asking how to root ICS even though there are several guides on XDA
Also, it could maybe be used as a basis for ROM cooking/ building.
Need help with unlocked bootloader support!!
I have an unlocked bootloader (official way).
I re-locked it again just to test if this ROM would work on locked BL.
No luck. It flashes just fine on unlocked BL. And when I re-lock, it continues to boot fine (stock kernel).
But when I re-flash the ROM from inbuilt CWM, it gets stuck at sony logo -.-
I would really appreciate some help to make this work on unlocked bootloader!?
Anyway... it does work fine on unlocked BL!
So enjoy!

I'm sorry about that problem, my bad...
I'm not really sure which app that is, try widgetonoff.apk
If not, just flash the removed_app zip file to return all apps. Then you can remove apps you don't want.
That's why I uploaded removed apps in the first place.

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?

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!

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.

.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.

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. FYI I flashed [FXP210] XperiaPremiuM™ v4 from this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155343. Thanks for your help again!

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.
