I think KeiranFTW was planning to do a cwm recovery bootable through a stock kernel and a locked boot loader. Bug him
if i get the european ftf for ICS and root on my Locked BL Xperia U, I can try to use the already existing CWM for Xperia U, and make it work more or less the same way it works on 2.1Stock X8, by changing one file that is loaded on the boot, to add an instruction for the keypress and the recovery .tar file... i can try, but maybe no success... just waiting to get my hands on ICS

Man, you can already get ICS for your device, like i did. Get FTF from st25a from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1916419
Flash it via flashtool and tick "exclude Baseband".
You'll get an european version, like i did.
The use Bin4ry script to root it (it works, i've tested it).
Can you then let us know your progress?

I didn't know this was possible...exclude baseband and you get a European version? How? I know where that box is in flashtool but didn't know about this issue. My phone has poor reception since I used the Indian ICS ftf, I live on the other side of the world and wondered was there a slight compatibility issue.

My last Rom was from OZ, from C.Republic...
I'm on TMN and my sms's are just fine. And i'm using the Australian FTF without baseband. Works like a charm. And i don't use the stock sms app. GO Sms is a lot better. Heavier, but better.

need CWM for Sola ICS
i installed indian ICS on my german Sola and it works like charm and i need now cwm to make a nandroid backup. still waiting stable cwm for sola ics..
hum, then today when i get home i'll try to install that FTF for the St25i and root my Locked BL Xperia U...
I was afraid cauz on X8 there were two different SMS app versions deppending on the ROM region, one had the SMS Cost Saving Switch and the other not, the roms where there were not that switch, the SMS's ussualy fail to send...
BTW, can someone post here the link to the GITHub sources for the Keiran CWM for Xperia U GB ? i'll need them

flashtool does not root or unlock bootloader of your device until you do it by your own.
It is a tool to install firmwares on Sony Xperia Devices.
So do not worry about it thanks to neectron for a helpful thread on Sola Development Section

Is it safe to upgrade to ICS? I am very confused? i have done this before but I dont wanna take risk with me new phone. Is this ICS update bug free?
And if something went wrong can i go back to my origional software?
No there isnt any risk
Ucs is always better in all means than gingerbread..
But at the same will consume a bit more ram..
Nothing goes wrong normally..
Its safe and if sumthing goes wrong flash back to gb using flashtool..
Otherwise no prob..

I am downloading this torrent file "Stock Global 6.1.1.B.1.10 -torrent". It contains two files one is ftf and other is a small md5 file. What I have to do with this md5 file?
Very very very slow. Came back to to GB. Runs like lightening. uffffff.

Hey XU guys!
I have an ST25i and I need a bit of help.
I am running an unknown ROM that I don't know how to fix. If any of you have...
-An Xperia U ST25i
-Rooted
-CWM installed
-Stock ROM and Kernel
Can you...
Go into CWM. Go into advanced. And do create firmware.zip and send it to me. I need it back to stock and PCC and Flashtool won't work.
Thanks!

Yes but I now know what from it was. Its called Infinity Smooth Custom System ROM, and as it says in the title, it was only a system ROM, which didn't require a new boot.img to be fastboot flashed.

I could do that but I was looking up if there is a way I could relock the bootloader and restore it with PCC?
Sent from my ST25i
I think you can re lock. Not too sure how it works tho. There are definitely guides around tho!
If you're keeping the phone for yourself tho I'd keep it unlocked and just flash cm9. It'll be far faster and smoother than stock
Sent from my Android 4.2.1 Xperia S
Couple of things.
First of all thanks for all of your help.
Secondly, I am keeping it for myself, but I'm a tad concerned about installing a custom ROM and Kernel.
I have heard of CyanogenMod and apparently they offer a near stock experience. But as Flashtool is not working for me, if I fastboot flash the boot.img then would that mean I could never revert back to stock?
Sent from my ST25i using xda app-developers app
Yea you can always revert back to stock. But I promise you'll never want too. Lol. If you already have cwm then all you need to do is download the cm9 zip and flash in recovery (following instructions in the thread as to what to wipe)
As for flashtool, have you installed all the drivers from the drivers file?

hey guys,
I just bought my xperia Go, and i've been reading around, to "assimilate" all this information. I have a couple of questions:
Fact1: My phone is a locked bootloader, and is not possible to unlock.
Fact2: It has ICS 6.1.1.B.1.54
Fact3: My carrier (tmn Portugal) still isnt upgrading to Jb. So for me there is no official update to JB yet.
Questions:
Should i upgrade to JB ? wich rom should i use? If i upgrade to official JB, its not possible to root yet? Or should i root my phone before upgrade? Im confused, if you guys could help me out. Thanks
Do you get notification update at Sony PC Companion?
If no you need to root your phone and change SI number at build.prop to get update or you can download JB ft and flash via flash tool.
