Hi all;
I recently got my hands on an old Xperia P. with too much pain I put CWM 6.0.1 on it. Right now the phone is running on old stock 4.0.4 sony android. the baseband is u8500-49020908 and the kernel version is "3.0.8+ [email protected] #1".
A) I found "LT22i_6.2.A.1.100_Generic World.ftf". it seems the latest and the last sony generic update. could I flash it using "FlashTool"? (if I do that do I lose CWM that I installed). (Do I need to do this update in order to use custom ROMS).
B) Could I install any kernels with the help of CWM? ( with the condition that the version would be higher) (like nemysiss kernels ....) (could someone explain this topic a bit).
C) Right now I am using CWM. how could I install twrp. the twrp for Xperia P is an script that needs my current boot.img file. where could i get it. ( I have a boot.sin would It worked.)
D) Does "Xposed Framework" work on Xperia P?
Any things That I should know? any tricks that you encountered with Xperia P will doing system tweaks?
Thank You ~/

Hi , I want to ask some question about flashing custom roms like cyanogen mod on xperia phones
Currently i have Xperia ray with unrooted gingerbread 2.3.4 , 4.0.A.2.0.42 firmware
I want to flash cyanogenmod 7 and my questions are --->
[1.] How can i unlock boot loaders without messing up DRM ? bcoz i heard after unlocking boo loaders update service and some apps wont work.
[2.] How to re lock boot loader in order to get warranty back ?
[3.] Will i need to root my phone in order to install CM7 because , in cyanogenmod wiki they not mentioned root, but i think i need to root my phone
If yes then can i use "Xperia 2011 Easy Rooting Toolkit" to root my phone running on gingerbread 2.3.4
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1320350
[4.] how to install full functional clockworkmod recovery on xperia ray ?
[5.] While installing cyanogen mod after flashing boot.img , will i able to make backup of my stock rom ?
and how to restore it even i bricked my phone ?
or is it possible to flash ftf firmwares anytime using flashtools, or wotan . is there any official firmware tool for sony phones ?
and how to get official firmware in FTF file format
[6.] When i successfully installed cyanogenmod , will i get all option to install another custom ROM over cyanogenmod (i.e. CWM recovery and rom manager)
No developer replied my questions , after hours of research i found answers
[1]. http://androidflip.com/unlock-xperia-phones-bootloader-without-losing-drm-data-track-id-working/
[2]. re-locking bootloader is not possible this time for xperia ray , sony will solve bootloaders issue very soon , then we will not need to worry about this, although we will lose warranty
[3].no need to root your phone , it is like installing ubuntu on windows without knowing passwords
[4]. fxp made CWM for ray but this time it only works with cm7 and MIUI, there are some experimental kernels with cwm are available but i dont recommend them
[5]. of course you can make complete backup of stock rom
to restore follow this = http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1382088
you can also revert to stock using flashtool , follow this = http://androidflip.com/how-to-install-android-2-3-4-gingerbread-update-on-xperia-ray-st18i/
[6]. definitely you can flash any custom / stock rom over cyanogenmod
maybe u can try my tutorial, but that's language indonesian, u use google translate dude, hehehehehe....
Hello,
I've recently got a new Xperia Ray with FW 4.0.2.A.0.62 (Gingerbread). I haven't flashed anything yet and would like to do so with one of the ICS roms. But I couldn't figure out (out of the many threads around) the steps to do so on this particular FW.
I have CM9 on my Nook tablet and am very pleased with it. I would be happy to have anything that works this well (and better) on my Ray.
Can someone please point me to the steps required (rooting, bootloader ,flashing, kernel etc), and also recommend a good ICS rom (speedy, light, kind on the battery) for the .62 FW?
Appreciate any info and apologies for the sense of newbiness.
thanks.
Check this Q&A Thread for your phone.
For ROMs, look in the Ray Development section, read the topics and compare yourself.
To install one, you have to do the following:
Download the ROM you want.
If it doesn't include kernel itself, download a kernel that is compatible with this ROM.
Place downloaded .zip file on your SDcard.
Unlock bootloader.
Install custom kernel via fastboot.
Install custom ROM via Recovery.
Unlocking bootloader and kernel installation is included in my tutorial, check my signature.
Hi is there a guide for rooting my phone ST27A i got stock GB and got the tft for ICS for the st27i
Stock GB 2.3.7
Build 6.0.B.3.191
ICS 4.0.4
Build 6.1.1.B.1.10
base band ver
u8500-49020905-P2H_EC01
Is there a way to get root on the GB?
Is there a way to preserve the band for ICS?
Thanx a lot for reading.
A small script which is able to root ICS/JB phones. It uses a remount timing issue in Androids "adb restore" service.
So normally it should work on nearly all ICS/JB devices, for some it won't but the idea may work in a slightly modded version
There is a case for Xperia Go and Xperia T,S,P etc. phones, this phones run ICS but don't have android's native restore with adb, Sony has added a own custom "Backup&Restore" app, the script handles this cases too, just choose the correct option!
How-To:
1.) Download attached file.
2.) Extract it using 7zip
3.) Double click the RunMe.bat and follow instructions!
Xperia phones = Normal mode
Sony Tablet and similar = Special mode

hi, i know this will not help with your question, but i got a question for you and hope you really can help me x3, i have the xperia go (st27A) and updated to ics for the st27i (note the i), the only diference is between the 3g freq (or at least thats what i've heard), i want to go back to GB but for the st27A, by any chance are you willing to share your stock GB firmware with me pls? if so please send me a link to download it or anything, thank you
I'm catching an error when trying to root my Xperia go. I've followed all the steps in the above tutorial and even when trying to root through cmd, after I select '1' for normal device I get an error saying 'unable to restore intent etc, etc. Any thoughts on what's causing this prob?
Hello
I just wanted to make a CWM recovery for my phone (Xperia SOLA) with stock kernel build .54 which is not available,
I know how to open kernel and make it again, I just don't know which file should I add, replace or change!
It would be really good to tell me which file should I bring from last CWM recovery (which was for build .10).
thanks in advance
Hello , I am a Noob ,
I have a few questions ,
My Device
Xperia Neo V
MT11i
Android Version:
2.3.4
Build:
4.0.2.A.0.62
Kernel:
2.6.32.9.-perf ....... [did not write the entire thing]
I never updated it ,
Now , I want
1.Make a Complete Recoverable Backup of my Current OS (2.3.4)
backup my original firmware , and stock OS . So that if in future i want to go back to it , i can just use that to go back . (i hope i am able to make you guys understand)
As far as my knowledge goes , i should need TWRP Recovery , or CWM Recovery or something similar . Correct me if i am wrong .
2.Unlock the Boot-loader and Root it.
3.Install Last Officially available update , Manually and Try it out
Which is the last officially updated version available ?
4.If i Like it then OK , if not then
i will Install other Custom ROMs or CM13
Q1. i heard that Many Custom ROMs dont have FM and Camera Functions ?
Which Custom ROM has all the functionality as the Stock One ?
and is based on most updated version of android ?
5.KERNEL.
I just CANT understand this one , please help me understand it
Does any of the above need the kernel to be replaced ? by some other kernel ?
I dont have much knowledge of kernel
...................................
Other Questions:
1.Why we are Flashing both .562 kernel .587 kernel one by one ?
Shouldn't we need only one ?
2. Can i update to Latest ICS via PC Companion and then root it ?
Will it affect anything ?
3.

Disadvantages
1. Warranty is void..gone.. ---------- No Problem
2. You cannot update using PCC or SUES( if you try them..then u'll get a message saying that the software is modified and it wont proceed) ---------- No Problem since no update will come in future
3. No more DRM(Digital Rights Management)..things like Trackid, music like..etc - I like TrackID , but TrackID works with any mobile isnt it ? so what will change ? in Track ID ?
And which Custom ROMs require Unlocked Bootloader ?
Does CM Require it ?
Please help how can i do these and please educate me about kernel too .
P.S.
I tried posting this before in the [NEO/V/L Q and A THREAD]HELP THREAD (N00B friendly) Thread but No One Replied
