hello folks..now we have complete working jb rom..that means we have full system files..can any body make a flashable ftf using this system files and other necessary files can be taken from xperia p's ftf..if this is possible then i think that we can have jb on locked boot loader..Developers can take this into consideration

With having all system files, you can make a flashable file using flash tool...
@bibhu059: I came to know fomr one of users that Xperia J having same RAM as Xperia U is running Jellybean smoothly...
SO Can anyone port that JB to our XU???

But you need to flash the kernel, wouldn't someone done it already if it was possible?

Not possible. Since in the ftf we have sin files. So for any changes we need to unpack the sin files and repack it. Even if you can do it, but then all the xperia devices(2011 onwards) have the files signed by sony and thus we cannot sign it, so it will give error during verification. So in short its not possible.
Additional Info- When we make changes in kernel and if we pack it as sin, there still is the problem of being signed with sony. This signature is checked by our phone while booting up. This is where unlocking bootloader comes to play. It helps to bypass the signature verification thus we can install custom kernel
Hope this helps

AJ

Well you can always skip verification, but the kernel is still a problem.
Unless they can make it work somehow with a stock kernel from Xperia P maybe.
I want this too D:

Hi, is it possible to make a backup .img directly from my Xperia Sola?!
I have got the Advanced Stock Kernel, but there is currently no CWM, to make a backup.
Any idea´s!?
I want to chance some files, but without a backup?!
Nope.

Hello!
As some of you may already know, the official ICS update has hit the 2012 Arc successor, Xperia S.
I used Bin4ry's ftf file, from which I took the system.sin and extracted it.
I uploaded the /system/app folder for all of you curious to see which apps will work on our Arc/S and for developers and themers in general.
DOWNLOAD
Feel free to mirror the file and post the link here, I will add it in the OP.
However, please do not ask me for mirrors, it took me well over an hour to generate this one.
Cheers!
Sweet! Thanks!!!
How is ICS on the Xperia S?

some app can not use in other phone, or must be re-build to use in our xperia 2011

edit: confirm a bug with new app: when chosing another theme color, the new apps still have the color before you flash/copy apps to your phone. lol, Sony always make people working hard to port apps from this phone to other phone.
Weather widget still no working, walkman the same.
A lot of app not working =d i gonna restore
@iridaki
If you wouldn't mind could you upload libs & framework too? Yeah you mentioned uploading framework folder but I need libs also
Or if you wouldn't mind could you tell me how you extracted the system.sin without having a device? I would gladly be providing a full system dump if you could teach me how to dump from system.sin. I already tried aIUP, unyaffs and sin2img to no avail.
Thank you very much Iridaki.
Could you extract framework to see changes?
i think it's take times to port walkman app fully working on our arc/arc-s 4.0.4.

Xperia S uses ext4 filesystem, not yaffs2.
I used Ubuntu to mount the ext4 system img and it worked!
Maybe there is a way to do it in Windows too, I just don't know it.
I'll see what I can do with the framework folder.

Hello everybody,
My name is Leandro, I live in Argentina, so my english is not good enough I've a Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini ST15
Today I was experimenting with mi phone but I make a terrible mistake.
Let me tell us in order what happend:
- I had ParanoidAndroid 2.53 with some bugs tippical of a beta edition
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1963556
- I decided to back to ICS. I installed Cyanogen Mod 10 FPX 150
https://sites.google.com/site/projectfreexperia/download/cyanogen-mod-10
However I don't fell confortable without a sock camera
- I download and install (with all the wipes) XPERIA Ultimate HD
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1991371
It doesn't come with the "boot.img" so I download KernelPanic 1.25v (I put into my phone via Fastboot)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1861905
HOWEVER I didn't notice when I installed the new rom, the device I'd selected wasn't mine (I make that terrible mistake)(I'd selected "LVW" or something like that)
- When I ran the new ROM, the touchscreen didn't work but all the buttons worked fine. :crying:
- I tryed to back to the Official ROM via Flashtool, but the touchscreen continued with this issue
- I reinstalled the XPERIA Ultimate HD choosing correctly but didn't work
I asked to some people, but they don't know about Sony devices.
If someone knows something to do I will apreciate too much.
Thanks in advance!

obviously, I did that as I write in the begining, that's why I don't understand the problem, because I did all the wipes, put the same rom in the correct way, put another rom, the official rom, but, nothing happends, it's the same.
It's like I "change" an internal driver that the following instalations doesn't modify.
Did you format system partition before trying to reflash other roms?
Anyhow the touchscreen driver is in system/etc folder, the name is touch_nameofdevice.hex, if you push that file from a rom for your device and the hw_config.sh it should fix it

I format my phone via CWM y choose "format system", "format cache"
it's too strange for me, I think it's related with my bad choose that I write in the begining, but it must be a solution

Try this:
1. Download that
2. Open the zip and replace all files in the bin folder with files for your device (!), for example from a custom rom for xperia mini
3. After pushing files for your device in there, pack the content again (the meta-inf folder and the bin folder)
4. Copy this to sd card and flash it with cwm
5. This could work, but I can't promise anything
Hope you will get a working touch screen again!

It makes ftf from the files you have...for example if u have kernel.sin and loader.sin, then u can convert it into an ftf
If u really don't know much I won't recommend u
But no harm in giving a shot

Dont miss the ICON FARM!
no dont worry I know enough. I know the files after unpacking ftf are like you told. I just had this little hope that it is making ftf from zip. Great work and will try it in some days. Thanks hitted
Maybe you should explain a bit more how it works and what I can use it for
Because I guess there will be some people who want to build a ftf with their own modified /system folder, so better explain all files that "could" be in the input folder and how your program works :good:

1. Change any custom kernel to sin if possible.
2. Then download the stock ftf ROM for which the kernel is made.
3. Then extract the stock ftf and get loader.sin from it.
4. Combine loader.sin and kernel.sin together.
5. Then compress them in ftf format with this tool.
6. Then try to flash it and see if it works.
Most chances are that it won't so try anything at ur risk.

Creating custom kernel as .sin files is not possible for our Xperia 2011 devices. Only Sony can do that. There is a way for Xperia 2010 devices but it mostly won't work on our devices. Good work though

I found what is allegedly supposed to be the mysterious 4.1.B.1.13 update in the form of a flashable link removed. This is only for the Xperia Mini a.k.a. ST15i a.k.a. Smultron but could somebody (a dev maybe) please verify that this is the real mccoy?
quite a few of the apps in the system/apps are dated from January 2013 so it could very well be but still needs verification...
Downloading, will check it out. Currently it seems somewhat lighter than the original one.
EDIT: On the first look, seems like Walkman and either Bravia Engine 2 or X-Reality are built in, though no modifications are made within the build.prop. All vital apps are there. For any further changes, you will need to install it and check it out. Or someone with the device, who is willing to test it out.
