1st post so be kind, how can I overclock my arc its rooted and I have set cpu installed
Hi
Not possible without custom kernel ,which is under way in dev thread
Also you will prob need unlocked bootloader for first releases anyway
Dev is still in early days
Im no expert but been following the dev thread intently

+1 this can only happen if unlocked in a custom kernel and it is way to early for that, devs are working pretty hard tough
Please search before posting... there's a thread about this already.

these are the things need to allow your phone to accept any roms by flashing
those are like locks/obstacles for your phone u have to unlock all of it to be able to flash those roms but you will need to downgrade your firmware version if its any higher than 1.32 then root the phone using visionary and use the easy desire hd radio tool to do the s-off,radio-off,etc.
Check this thread, should explain it all.
So, I'm going to be getting/buying an xperia play in the next week or so. As an upgrade from my wildfire. I've been looking around the xperia play section for about a week or two now. I'm still not sure what is the best way to go about rooting, unlocking the bootloader (If its needed on this device), and installing CWM.
So, advise me if there is a better way to do this but:
Firstly, I'll root using the Zergrush method. As long as my device's firmware is before november 2011.
Then, I'll unlock the bootloader. And use flashtool to get CWM.
Flash doomlords kernel, (Unless I have to do this before CWM).
Enjoy CM9/AOKP/Paranoid Android on my play.
If there is a better guide available. Could someone point me in the right direction. This sections layout is a bit more confusing to find things, and doesn't have any sort of helpful guides going over which methods I should do and in which order.
Anyway, if you do end up posting something. Thanks for your input.
See you around the section!
In my opinion you should just try first the stock rom with root and then make up your mind, I'm fine with the bootloader locked personnaly I just removed the bloatware and installed team stock
But if you want to directly unlock the bootloader it is even easier in order to get root, just unlock the bootloader and install a custom kernel with root built in along with the new rom.
There are 2 types of kernel : Sony based and aosp based kernels, if you install a rom built from source such as cyanogenmod, aokp and such you can't use doom kernel as he based his on sony's sources, just use the kernel provided on the first post of each thread or the mjolnir kernel which is cm9/ aosp based

Thanks. I'm going to try the stock rom. And root it if it doesn't meet my needs. Is the stock gb rom full of bloatware, or is it a small amount. Would I have to use fastboot to flash the kernel everytime?

I think there is more and less 50 mo out of the 380 mo of the storage on the phone that is useless, just root and get rid of that whatever.
About the kernel I'm not sure as I have not an unlocked bootloader, but it seems that you just flash the kernel once or when the op says so and reflash another when you change from aosp to stock based and vice versa.

Another advice by the way, if you get the play because of the touch pad, that's fine, welcome! But if that's because you want a good support from Sony with official firmware rollout and a lot ROMS, take a look at other phones, we don't have much developers here, although they are really talented, and Sony left us behind.

I don't mind the lack of developers. Its something I'm used to comming from the wildfire section. The game-pad wasn't the only thing that made me want the device. It was the performance/features for the price too.

Hey.
I am completely new to Sony xperia, i always used samsung phones. I am not a noob, but i need help with xperia.
I got an arc s lt18i, i rooted it and was than looking around for cwm.
I never ever had locked bootloader, so that was new to me too.
I tried installing ICS / jb mix rom.
I did exactly what was said, but i bricked it.
So reflashed and all oké now.
Now's my question: can someone explane a bit about how to do basic things and good / easy to install ROMs?
I already bricked my phone twice today
Thanks

I think you are missing kernel. If the phone is stuck on bootscreen its the kernel.
Theres a lot of threads, news guide at the general thread. All rom threads have a install guide too.

I have nothing of worth to offer, but welcome to the community hope you are, despite the mentioned issue, enjoying the arc!
trust me, xperia won't be bricked so easily as the samsung device. xperia has the best flashtool to reflash back phone back to stock than the odin can do to revive a bricked galaxy tab.
Unless you unlock bootloader you can only install stock based roms that don't need a custom kernel.
try pureness Rom, this is ok for locked bootloader.

I rooted many phones in my life, I never had problems rooting a phone like this peace of ****!! does any one out there give a much easier link to root this crap?? Im currently on the latest version ics , or is there a way to revert back to GB like most HTC phones do?
Follow the stickied unbricking guide to get back to GB. If you want to return to official ICS use the CWM flashable version.
...and was there really a need for the swearing?
Rooting a phone with a locked bootloader isn't stuff to any n00b. It requires following huge tutorials or aknowlege to do it on their own.
This isn't a samsung galaxy for example.

U can't unlock your bootloader because no one find a solution and still a work in progress. You can install cwm and flash stock based roms. Check Xperia S android development section.
One more thing, don't ask questions in general section.

I know it shouldn't be posted in general section but I really want to know: why would some ppl got devices with no allowance to unlock bootloader?
Is it a random condition or something...?
Thx

No, it's because of network providers who ask Sony to do that. Those who bought mobiles as contract(pay monthly) have their bootloader locked and unable to unlock anywhere. Only Sony can do that :screwy:
