Hey guys... I have neo v, rooted, installed cwm, f/w .587 with locked bootloader. Sorry if there is ANY OTHER SAME POST but it is waste of time to search 51! pages of topics, this is what i believe...
What i want to ask is:
1) if i can flash every ram i want from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1313445&highlight=rom , even GBs rom and
2) if i flash different kernel, will there be any problem with the root and the cwm??
3) should i do something different so that my phone will be even smoother? ( Now i have 250 MB free phone memory and 80-100 MB free Ram but still some lagging... )
THANKS FOR EVERY ANSWER!
So u mean ull make thread for every question u want to ask to save ur time? Please use ur brain a bit... Help us keep xda clean.. Nd xda does have a search button so please use it.
U have a locked bootloader so u cant flash custom kernels. So if ur on ics rom u wont be able to flash gb roms. Flash only ics custom roms if ur on ics.. Nd a custom rom will give u free ram.. Nd lag doesnt depend on amount of free ram .. Only if ur ram is below 60 mb u need to worry.
Please press thanks if I helped and next time dont make a thread for such questions. Ask in general chat its sticky thread

Hi there!
Yes yes I am a newbie.. my phone is running on CM7 Gingerbread. My problem is that I can not get a phone reception, I can't make calls or send sms, so obviously I can't receive them either. Also whenever I open apps like player pro for example a notification pops up saying force close or wait and it just hangs there. Please could you kind tech savvy people help a girl out.. what do I need to do to try and fix this??

Yes this was the first thing I tried. Unfortunately no success.
Do this again with formatting /system then flash ROM again.
Haha I am totally at a loss as to what you are asking me to try.. my friend flashed the phone for me and can't get him to do it again. It's only my phone signal and player pro that seems to be not working are you sure I need to flash my phone again?
I got also the problem before..and the only thing that helps me is reflash..
Was yr ph on 2.2 or 2.3 b4 u flash cm7?
My phone was using 2.2 (Froyo) before I flashed it the first time.. now gonna try this rom - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1324628 - need step by step instructions on how to do this, anyone?

Stock 2.3 means Gingerbread roms like 2.3.3 or 2.3.4. U will find d stock roms on samfirmware.com or sammobile.com. As u said u r using on cm7, u will have to flash a full package rom instead of one package. A full package means it should have 4 files in d .zip file.

Ouch... My eyes hurt so bad... Use spell checker next time pls.
I suggest you check our wonderfull tutorials where all this is explained in a fashionable manner.
Also when you install a new kernel check if it brings (or not) CWM with it.
Hahaha sry but tats the way i jus write....i knw abt the kernel bringin cwm along wid it..but wat i wanna knw is if there is a way of gettin cwm permanently so tat i flash wat eva i wanna widout losin it...n ive tried watchin loads of videos n read manu tutorials..didnt seem to find anythin abt ths...so if u can point me in the right direction...!

Hahah dude please dont make me write everything in proper english...ok ill ask again...i want to know a way of flashing a permanent recovery without flashing a cfroot insecure kernel or anyother kernel for that matter..a recovery thatll remain there no matter what rom or kernel i flash...is there any?
No dude.

Pretty much every custom kernel/rom comes with a CWM recovery of some sort.

-and there dont seem to have a section for unlock BL...
-and my friend said ace is rubbish phone ....i duuno ..he said it's very lag , is it true?
Best way will be to get CF-Root Adaption from Development Section, it gives you root and cwm Recovery and is flashable from Stock Recovery. Save n easy. Look for the B83, I can confirm that it works with most stock Roms and it gives you oc kernel.. download NoFrills Cpu Control from the market to adjust Frequencies and your good to go
For custom Roms, I am sure you will find one that fits you, many good Versions around ;-)

does ace need to unlock bootloader? and wait..ace comes with a recovery on stock ? how do you enter it?
oh and if i get that kernel can i change to other kernel if i want to? will it remove the root feature if it change my kernel?
Home + Power to enter Recovery
Once you have root I don't think it will be taken away till you flash Stock org Rom again. Please, be careful in what you do and refer to the very good guide here (sticky)
Nothing is locked and nothing is impossible with the Ace ;-) but be careful!

Definitely, be like me.. flash the ROM yourself without asking anyone and DIY. I checked these forums and found out how to do myself without asking anyone.. so you can too.. I joined XDA after successfully flashing my ROM and proving my worth.
it seems like stock ics v1 is a good rom , filled with mods / scripts and i has a kernel ( cant remember name ) i think when i have my ace i will get it
and one of most important thing is
DO NOT TRY OUT ROM MANAGER
it will turn ace to paperweight
Hey noob here.
Lots of.time I.see ppl saying this rom and that rom ....and lots of time I see ppl saying trip kernel or some feral kernel or something ...what's the difference?
Rooted x10i running stock 2.3.3
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
hi
i myself googled it (kernel) that is and what i found was something like this
the kernel itself is what controls all the processes, inputs (hardware and software inputs), controles the fysic and virtual memory etc etc.
and the rom itself (this is with out goggling could be wrong) is the software like compared to your pc it would be windows, linux, etc
hope ths helped had to translate so hope you understand!
Thanx ! ! But I still don't understand .... I mean can v be on the stock rom n hav a different kernel? Or can v hav a different rom on the stock kernel?
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
im pretty new to this myself and i've noticed there's so many different choices of roms and kernels out there so what i can tell you are the things i read and and have done/noticed so far.
first of yes i believe you can stay on stock and use another kernel (i actually went with CM7 Zmod first then changed kernels)
second ive seen most roms giving a link to a custom kernel aswell
custom kernel pros are somewhat explained in the following:
* i remember reading that the stock kernel kept on going even while its not needed
*so i installed the doomkernel V6 (CAUTION theres a difference between kernels for locked/unlocked bootloaders)
wich allowed me to set the cpu as i pleased (by another application wich i saw people using in videos etc. ''no frills CPU control'')
i did this before unlocking the bootloader and i noticed the difference in battery consumption aswell
theres so many different options in how to set the kernel that youre better of wiki'ing em . thats what i did and helped alot in understanding what it does.
sorry for all the info you didnt ask for but it might be usefull for later on ??
Yea definitely damn useful!!!!! So frm ur point, should I.change my kernel? Cuz I don't want to flash custom rom. Camera doesn't.work.best. and games don't seem to work properly on.this present stock.kernel of Sony ( srsly PES worked better on 2.1 !)
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
Oh and I also want to.overclock my device xD
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
im actually overclocking aswel but in moderation i suppose
theres one higher in Mhz wich i dont use because of the following.
1 im learning
2 scared
mainly because i saw this line
v06 (only for EXPERIENCED TESTERS) [OVERCLOCKED VERSION] {DEVICE MAY NOT BOOT} ( min/max: 128Mhz/1228Mhz )
and as youl see its not that different in Mhz as this one
v06-1113 [medium OVERCLOCK VERSION] ( min/max: 128Mhz/1113Mhz )
so its all out there but im pretty carefull on reading up first and then trying
ive pretty much got it all working on the first try
* CM7 Zmod
* unlocking the bootloader (meaning instead of loading stock kernel first, cancelling this, rebooting custom kernel it just goes straight to the last step (faster!))
*doomkernels V6 unlocked bootloader kernel
So I should unlock my bootloader n then change my kernel to.which ever u r on ( while being on stock 2.3.3 rom) n then overclock it ...logically n technically is what I'm saying is right?
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
while i was looking for this i also found that he submitted kernels for stock roms wich i didnt use so im not sure why tbh :s
i believe that the CM7 Zmod isnt an actual ''rom'' aswell but a port (whatever that means )
so that means im using the stock rom with this ''mod'' and the V6 kernel non stock rom and evrythings bin working fine for about 2 weeks now
rom = like windows xp software
kernell = using software to mod the motherboard so its compatible with the rom
So can I stay on stock rom n change my kernel?
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
whatever you use should be you're choice i suppose but what i did was .
get the kernel for the LOCKED bootloader first theres plenty of em out there.
dont forget the app youl need to control the cpu itself
ive seen posts of people refusing to unlock there bootloader mainly because you can mess up and brick (destroy) your phone
so whatever you do . dont unlock it untill some more exp. people explain what its all about.
im not sure so dont believe me on the following.
i believe it was something about unlocking it and doing a full wipe or such means youl do A FULL WIPE bye bye xrecovery and an endless bootloop
because xrecovery isnt or wasnt (fixed or not) build in the custom kernel
so untill then be safe theres plenty of roms/kernels etc to try with a locked bootloader so you'll wait 15 sec longer for the extra booting thats required
only reason i did it was to go straight to the custom kernel and to multi boot roms meaning i can try out other roms and still keep the one most stable for daily use.
What is perhaps the most prominent use for unlocking the booloader is that u can have your recovery built-in at kernel level (as is the case for pretty much every ulbl kernel), meaning u will always have recovery on ur phone
Sent from my Xperia X10 using XDA
That's it? For just having recovery u need to unlock bootloader?
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
no no hes saying ''at kernel lvl'' you even got recovery with your locked bootloader if im not mistaken ? (think you told me in some post)
so if i understand it it means even if doing full wipes etc youl always have xrecovery cause its build in on kernel lvl (so build in your custom kernel)
No I mean that if u flash to stock or anything usually u would break recovery but with ulbl it ALWAYS there. There are other reasons too (like extra schedulers and governor's for CPU)

Hey, I'm interested in this so I'm gonna jump in on the conversation.
I've read that with an unlocked bootloader, the recovery is built in at the kernel level, and from my limited knowledge I thought the kernel resides in the boot partition. Why wouldn't the recovery be in the recovery partition? Is their a recovery partition?
When I did a nandroid backup, I notice that it only backed up the sys, data and dalvik. Maybe theres no boot or recovery partition.... I'll eventually learn all the answers I need, I figured this was a good thread to ask some of these questions.
I really hav no idea ....I myself am.trying to pick points from here

Hi guyz
This is some weird problm I m facing in rooting my cell
None of the rooting methods seems to work for me wonder why
I cant root via flashing older kernel first coz that makes the device unusable (both processing and touchscreen responsiveness is decreased by 100 times)
Same happens when I try flashing custom kernels wid autoroot feature which includes sliding kernel vengence kernel munjeni and brains kernel
Every kernel other than the one which I extracted from stock ftf makes the device unusable
M on. 54 fw... And tethering is also broken...
So what the reason could be??
Is it the stock rom m I using??
Should I try to download c.1.0 which never caused me any trouble...??
Its highly irritating... M on absolutely stock fw and unrooted device really sucks... :/
Sorry its big but elaborated for better understanding of the issue
Edit - why me .., embarrassed...
I hv helped 100s here and nw struggling to get my phone rooted.
I cant download a new stock rom coz m seriously lacking any free time due to my clg.
this problem does not go away when u come back to .54 kernel after rooting??

Phone becomes normal when flash stock kernel

Now its solved
I came to conclusion that there was something wrong wid that ftf
I was able to flash xperiance lite v3 by miner
Its a standalone rom so I automatically upgraded to c.1.0 and now my device is super fine wid custom kernels.....
I aint going back to that stock ftf... It almost ruined my confidence hahahaha
try my rom autoroot is there
