i have a sony ericson wt19i phone
recently i upgraded it to ICS
but it was slower than GB
so i want to downgrade it to 2.3.7(GB) by using flashtool
for that i need to find the 2.3.7 firmware
Ia any body knows a way to do that please help me :cyclops:
If i can't downgrade as it is what firm ware will suit my phone other than 2.3.4(GB)
You're phone dont have official 2.3.7 firmware. You can download 2.3.4 and flash it with flashtool.
There is no Android 2.3.7 for you, but you can try a custom rom based on it.
There is a sticky thread contain list of roms in the development section.
Look there.

Just use flashtool, there are plenty of threads teaching how to use it
Thanks for your valuble helps :good:
Is there any official firmware for my one other than 2.3.4
I mean like 2.3.5 or 2.3.6
If not, is there any way to increase the speed of my phone(ICS)
No its not a matter of using flashtool
Its a case of finding firmware
Any way
Thanks for your helps :fingers-crossed:

I suggest to you some custom firmwares, like the CyanogenMod, high stability and better performance. Or in the development you can find some nice custom firmwares from the community. Some days doing a research, and you'll be ready to go, carefully reading the FAQs and the instructions, it's not as complicated as it seems =)
Will that firmware suit for my phone?
What ara the disadvantages of using custom rom?
Thank you:good:
Disadvantage is that once you root and unlock bootloader you lose your warranty. But hey the advantages far outweigh it. You have better performance battery speed and smoothness.

If you have not rooted or unlocked bootloader you can't use cyanogen. So quick guide

Rooting - well my advice is don't do it. The custom roms like cm already come with root so why bother
Flash the fxp kernel in fast boot using either flash tool or sdk. (Google it) then you'll have cwm. Use it to flash the zip file from your sd card. Before you do anything just search and read around a little. The more you read the less chance there is for anything to go wrong

some body told me by rooting and partitioning sd card i can increase the speed of my phone
is that true?

Since I have a similar idea, if I am still going to experience problem with my SE Xperia Mini (ST15i), I would kindly ask for help where to find official ROM's for the phone. Did my search, couldn't find them.

Hi,

Hi, I'd recommend you start out by reading this guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1007244
First you need to root your device, then you need to install a custom recovery, before you can actually install a custom rom.
It's a learning process, if you've never done something similiar before, but nothing too hard
Both of the 2.3 roms are imo stable enough for daily use, so I'd recommend one of them. Which one you choose is mostly a personal preference.
The holy grail of guides can be found here

Read This [HOWTO] Rooting, Installing - Android SDK, Custom Recovery, Custom ROM's
Hello,
I have an SE XPERIA X10i on 2.3.3, BB 2.1.71, Kernel 2.6.29, Build 3.01.G.0.75.
It's the stock ROM which I was able to load onto the phone with the 2.1.71 baseband along with Flashtool.
However, I'm a) getting bored of the stock rom, b) find the battery life not so great, c) believe the performance and responsiveness of screen gestures could be better.
I've been thinking of going to FreeX10 2.3 or CM7 2.3.
Now, I don't have xrecovery on the phone since I wiped it clean and bundle installed stock 2.3.3 with Flashtool. My next steps are:
1) How do I get xRecovery back on the phone since I can't root it as it's 2.3. I've read the documentation for Gingerbreak and it looks complicated.
2) What is the best/easiest way of loading a new ROM onto the phone? I imagine it's just to flash a custom zip thru xRecovery but since that's not on the phone anymore, I need to know how to get it back on there.
I'm sorry for the silly questions - I know this forum doesn't take kindly to the under-Android-educated but I do know a bit so far and I'm just looking for some help so constructive advice would be appreciated in advance I probably could figure out all these things on my own by googling but I don't have as much time as I'd like to devote to these priorities. Thanks for all your help in advance friends!
Here is a guide for all your questions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=678513
U can use flash tools to install xrecovery.
And next time post in Q&A forum.
Sorry for not posting in the correct section... Since the question was related to ROMs I thought that perhaps it best belonged in this section.
So I can install xRecovery even though my device isn't rooted and is on 2.3.3 stock?

So I finally made the switch from iphone to an android device. With the Iphone you would jailbreak it. Im guessing here, you would root it and then install a rom?

First of all u need to root ur device, after this u need to install/flash a kernel with the cwm recovery (u can use easily one of the rooter kernel.made by chainfire), then u can flash the rom, kernel, theme, whatever u want/need directly thru the cwm.

My advice would be to read the threads on the many kernels avaliable all have instructions on how to install... Then when you feel confident make your choice and get yourself rooted. After you understand the process and familiar with CWM and what it is used for use the same process to choose a ROM... Good Luck
In all honesty, I tried loads of roms on my s1 but I have not felt the need for it, or indeed seen any benefit to a custom rom yet, and certainly not one that will out weigh the inevitable bugs in them.
Clockwork rom bootloader is excellent for full back up and restore purposes. Frankly however with this device rooting is enough especially now there are one click solutions for it.
Once rooted there isn't much you can't change or customise. Camera apps, hacked launchers etc
Personally I have found this far more stable and much more interesting than simply installing someone else's work.
OH YES WHILST I REMEMBER FIRST THING TO DO ONCE ROOTED IS BACK UP YOUR /efs FOLDER IMMEDIATELY THIS IS ESSENTIAL!!

Ok so ive been reading the threads and rom section.
I only have 2 question left. My phone atm is on android 2.3.3. In the root thread, I want to get 2.3.5 KI3.
Can I flash the KI3 right away or do I have to update my phone to 2.3.5 and then get the 2.3.5 KI3?
Is Firmware and Modem the samething? I see there both I9100XXKX#
Once I do that, I will root my phone, install cognition rom and then the ICS theme.

I wanna suggest to u the XXKI4 (2.3.5), this is a superb firmware, u can flash directly to this version without any trouble, for the other question, no firmware and baseband/modem are two different things, u can try many basebands cause there are some basebands that works better with ur specific carrier.
So, u should root/install cwm and than cognition and theme.

The X10's flash mode is hard coded in.. so if you set up the flashtool, you can always revert back to a stock original or branded rom. Even if you crash in the middle of rom install, you still have the ability to go back using the flash tool or SEUS repair.
Most roms are a continuing project and in different phases of it.. some are from scratch and some are ports from other phones, all roms have different abilities and perks to running them. CM7 roms give extended system tweaks, and MIUI roms are almost a totally different framework altogether, but they are very smooth.
Kernels are the linux system behind it all, some roms will wipe the original kernel and replace it.. or if you go through the amazing process of unlocking your bootloader, you can have the actual kernel itself replaced.. the perks of this are mostly for overclocking & undervolting to get better performance and/or battery life.
I find no matter which dirrection I go with a rom or kernel, it always seems to have its significant advantages.. If you run into a jam feel free to PM me and I will try and guide you in what ever your venture is, I think I have installed every rom at 1 time or another lol.. best of luck!
even if u brick it can be easily resolved to the normal state...only sometimes it becomes a big pain in a** !! else its cool to go around flashing !!!

Hey guys...i have an Xperia Mini Pro SK17i that from the day that it received Android ICS 4.0.4 its become nearly unusable cause its being really annoyingly slow. It takes at least 10 seconds for an App to launch and web pages take a long time to load, it takes ages to boot and even scrolling between homescreens is a pain in the ass.
With what i read so far, since i cant upgrade to Jelly bean cause Sony hasnt given that update to that phone, i figured out my only solution to the problem is to either go back to Gingerbread or root and flash a Jelly bean rom that performs well in my phone. Problem is as i kept reading..and saw with how many ways its possible to root and flash roms, kernels, fastboot and all those words that i have no idea what the mean..i got even more confused on which way is the most safe so i wont brick my phone and destroy it and which is the most simple way to do it.
Sorry for being a clueless android user, i had an iPhone for so many years and i recently got an Android so i need some time to learn how to be able to mod and fix it.
So the question is...how do i root this specific device and flash a custom rom? The more details the better....
Currently it has stock android ICS 4.0.4...
Thanks in advance.
If you don't want to root it, its fine
You can still downgrade to gb
Download flashtool (google)
Download your device's gb FTF rom file.
Flash it via flashtool
Now these steps are elaborated in general section stickies tool-guides-etc etc thread by someguy in hell.
If you want to root it followw mihanns rooting guide in general stickies and also his guide on installing custom rom
Regards
N
Root with the post in general, install Xparts and install recovery with xparts. Then if you will install a GB rom, flash before the ftf file of GB stock, the same with ics, if you will install a ICS rom, flash before the ftf file of ICS stock.Using flashtool
If you have Unlocked bootloader, you have to flash a kernel that you want and then the rom.

Whats your opinion guys? Should i go Jellybean, back to GB or stay to ICS?

Definitely Jellybean.
Rooting is not enough to install JellyBean You will also have to unlock bootloader
And ICS - I think You have updated it without wiping data. The difference between GB and ICS is huge, so the official updating method through PC Companion will end like this - very poor performance. IMO clean install for ICS is needed. Of course it will work slower than with GB, but it wasn't a big difference (IMO).
Now I'm using JB and it's still not bugless. But it can be used for daily use for sure Now, when nAa and other devs are working on 3.0.8 kernel - it will bring a second life to 2011 Xperia line phones
My opinion is to root your device and after root u have to install titanium backup app cause once u will open it after root it will fix something in permissions I think.. Install CWM through X-Parts app "you can get it from play store".. Boot into recovery.. Wipe data, dalvic cache and reset settings "Make sure u backup what u want before doing this through titanium backup or other backup app".. Then install Root Uninstaller to uninstall bloatware apps and stick with stock ICS or a custom ICS ROM if u r looking for bugless ROM as JB ROMs will not be lighter than ICS on our xperia mini pro and they r not bugless.. So dun go through any of them right now, maybe later after nAa finish this 3.0.8 kernel.. If u need any further support just PM me or feed me back here.. Few things after the above and ur device will be very efficient )
Good Luck
