I have it. Just find any flashable zip, extract it and put it in the system with correct permissions. Voice search works perfect and weather, but only some cards appear, not all

Hullos all!
Being rather new to rooting (I rooted my old X10 Mini and my Xperia S), I am wondering about what to do and not to do when ICS rolls out in the near future.
Did a search on these forums and on google, but the answers I found left me with even more questions, so I turn to the Gurus here ;o)
Now to my questions: I have a rooted Xperia S with unlocked bootloader - what should I do when the ICS update rolls out? - I have a few ideas about what to do (I've typed those under my questions), I just need verification from the Gurus ;o)
1) Will I need to backup all my data and apps? (I probably should just for safety).
2) Should I accept the update from Sony
(From what I've read, it's a big NO - I should wait until a dev releases a pre-rooted firmware and install that with fastboot).
3) If the update (whatever method I need to use) is successful, will I have to reinstall my apps again? What about my contacts/SMS/other data - will that be deleted?
4) Not really ICS-related: Can I use factory restore on a rooted phone?
(I don't think so, solution is to reinstall the pre-rooted firmware).
1) yes for safety nandroid backup. Back up apps with titanium backup just incase you need to wipe data on flashing new roms.
2) No
3) flash both phones with flashtool there will be ftf ics roms for both your phones. You will not lose apps and data if uncheck the option in flashtool
4) yes you can factory reset while rooted or unlocked
5)

Thanks a bunch!
I used a program named fastboot to flash the ROM .img file.
I guess that using Flashtool is the way to go - didn't know it existed until now ;o)
Just head over to the Android Development Forum.. There's a sticky thread called [TOOL/LT26] [UPDATE 09/04/2012] Flashtool version 0.6.9.1 - Windows / Linux. There you'll find download links and so on..

yes, but which firmware?
wotanserver.newusersnotallowedtopostlinks/en/sony-ericsson/se/xperia-ray-st18/4-0-2-a-0-62/language-download
they list all versions as having the same languages (which probably is not the case)
just download the original firmware and flash it using flashtool

yeah thanks just need to register... (not pay) i use your 2.3.4 actually.. it give me ability to upgrade in .62 without loosing root... and now "bonus" PCC ask me to upgrade ICS centraleurope version... just all i need with a downgrade :d
Hi,
I have a xperia neo....with rooted stock firmware .62 and unlocked bootloader (testpoint method)...I have taken a nandroid backup of it
I just wanted to try out ics...so planning to update using PCcompanion
Before updating...i just want to know
1. whether it's possible to downgrade to gb through cwm nandroid restore? Do I need to flash the kernel for .62 after the nandroid restore ?
2. will root access be restored after the downgrade? Since .62 is cannot be rooted, I'll have to flash .42 to get root access
I don't want to start restoring all the installed apps...hence thinking of using nandroid backup against flashtool
heres a video on how to :
SIMPLEST WAY TO DOWNGRADE TO 2.3.4 factory firmware
...Hi, hope i can help you after i spent myself days looking to root or flash my device, with no luck. There is just 3 simple steps to follow and you are done. Trust me its working fine:
1. Go To: (http thing) i cant link as new user...//androidadvices.com/downgrade-sony-xperia-arc-official-gingerbread-23-firmware/2/ and download 2 files (flashtool and Xperia Arc S firmware package... works for xperia arc, arc s, pro, etc). This is the Gingerbread 2.3.4
2. Unzip, install and start (as admin) Flashtool, then COPY XPERIA ARC S FIRMWARE PACK (is a .ftf file) INTO Installed Flashtool, FIRMWARE Folder (PASTE inside), START FLASH, choose FLASHMODE, follow on screen steps.
P.S. When restart your phone in FLASHMODE: With the phone turned off, press and HOLD BACK button, while connect USB, next seconds, you'll get the GREEN Light(phone) and flashing begins.
3. ENJOY your new installed GINGERBREAD 2.3.4 Firmware
P.S. ...NO ROOT REQUIRED... ...and yes, i know there are more than 3 steps... so? still works great. GOOD LUCK
Hi ,
I am a noob. I just installed CyanogenMOD 9 in my Sony Ericsson live but the problem is I can't install PLAY STORE, GMAIL etc. The apps can be installed but the problem is when I click(touch) on them to open nothing happens. Every other app is running good.
I have another question :
Though I survived the no-playstore horrible moment where nothing can be found to get any File manager or Titanium Backup which I use to restore all of my apps saved and backed up on my SD Card. Then I downloaded Titanium backup from their homepage using browser and restored some of my apps as per needed.
What does a person usually do to install apps after flashing CyanogenMOD?
Also, how can I install play store or Gmail app now?

Is your bootloader unlocked? Are you on cm9/10, because on the kernels of them cwm is integrated! :good:
Cwm isn't an app, it's a recovery for our phones...

You can find the google apps like play store from the above link...

Hi, So I had the play store installed and managed to mess up all my apps. It is not longer there on my tablet and I trying to reflash it in this way. CWM says that it installs successfully but the Play Store isnt in the app drawer when I reboot. Any recommendations? Thanks.

Hello,
I rooted my Xperia go with this method : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
It work very good and i deinstalled many apps which come with the stock 4.04 rom. I also installed titanium backup that uses root. This is my first xperia i always had HTC devices and there i always installed Clock workmod recovery. Things are a little different with an xperia. So my question is my xperia is rooted already but the bootloader is not unlocked whats the easiest steps to instal clock workmod recovery.
Many Thanks.
Go to development section for xperia s, there is a thread about install cwm for locked bootloader, its really easy!

Use "Root app delete". get it from the store
The good thing is that routing this way is easy. When you want to go back to the original, Just flash with the Sus Sony software.

So, I have a i9100 with the official jelly bean update, and then rooted. I installed the pimp my Rom app in order to install the beats audio feature. This was successful, but I decided I didn't like it so decided to uninstall. Foolishly, rather than uninstalling from within the pimp my rom app, I uninstalled the beats file using sd maid. What I didn't realise is that, rather than a standalone app, the beats bit is a modification of the media provider system apk. After deleting this, I am now unable to play any media file at all. How can I fix this???
Thanks muchly
best and easiest way is reflash rom

So I just need to find the official Samsung update files and flash these with Odin? Will I lose my files or have any other issues?
