Guys,
Is there a separate forum for the Sony Xperia Arc S ?
A place where I can get Arc S Custom firware, recovery , root guides ?
Im new here, Im coming from the Samsung Galaxy S section. Just sold it and got a Arc S.

i think that arc and arc s are too much alike that they dont have seperate forums and im pretty sure that most of whats made for arc works on arc s
I own the Xperia Arc S too and about 90 % of the MODs/ROMs/etc. works on our devices too.
Thanks a lot guys !
Lookin for the CWM recovery Mod.
If you're rooted, stock kernel and BL locked you've to use SE Extreme Tweaker.

Hello !
I just bought my Xperia Play, I wasn't expecting it but since it's price was very low I bought it.
I'm familiar with XDA because I own a X8 too.
Can someone help me introducing to Xperia Play forum? Like telling me wich roms worth trying, some root, unlocking bootloaders or installing recoveries tutorials. Just so that I have something to start with.
Thanks in advance
DoomKernel is really good ..
And all the Xperia S themed Roms are good too
If you flash DooMKernel you have root as well...
Recommended is a unlocked bootloader

That's nice since I really like Xperia S style
Is there a tutorial to unlock bootloader, I'm probably not going to that now, just something like 15 days from now.
Btw is there xperia s theme, launcher and so on for stock 2.3.2 without root?

to unlock bootloader even if you lose warranty ...yes this is possible for your phone
in fact for certain releases of these phone models :
Sony Ericsson Xperia™ PLAY
Sony Ericsson Xperia™ arc
Sony Ericsson Xperia™ arc S
Sony Ericsson Xperia™ neo
Sony Ericsson Xperia™ neo V
Sony Ericsson Xperia™ pro
Sony Ericsson Xperia™ mini
Sony Ericsson Xperia ™ mini pro
Sony Ericsson Xperia™ ray
Sony Ericsson Xperia™ active
Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman™
Sony Xperia™ S
Sony Xperia™ P
Sony Xperia™ U
Sony Xperia™ sola
to unlock bootloader proceed with the first step at Sony site
you have to flash a stock-based ROM if you do not want to unlock bootloader
this case is the same- you lose warranty
look here for stock-based ROMs
never flash a ROM not made for your phone
that means, that i CANT install cyanogenmod with a locked bootloader?

yes you get the point !
I understand your frustration
but there are plans to release an official ICS for this phone check Sony site or by PC Companion
in this case you will never lose warranty and ICS is very good for your... in fact amazing Arc S phone :good:
PS
yes you can flash an unrooted stock-ROM before you send it to service ..
how about if you have a hardware failure ?
Ok... thank you :good:
But arconium (stock-based rom) also recomendeds Unlocked bootloader.
The point why i dont have to root my phone is that i can flash back to an unrooted firmware and then i think the support wont know that i rooted my phone ( i hope so )

I like that you really want Cyanogen on your phone
me to I made a custom rom for my phone here
this rom has Cyanogen Launcher just because I like this OS
nope no chance to have Cyangoen without an unlocked bootloader
there are little chances to find one to work without S-off
It's something about base address of the kernel/protected bootloader/encryption something like this.. You have to assume the risks if you want it !
ok ! thank u very much, u helped me alot :good::good::good:

The xperia play is almost unbrickable. If you download fkashtool and the stock ftf for your phone it can solve most software problems. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2184897 this link has everything you need to know about the play. It will link you to guides on how to root and unlock the bootloader. Galaxy s bootloader is already unlocked but sony is different. You must unlock yourself and you cant flash kernel with odin anymore. You must use fastboot. Look at the guides in the thread i linked you to and you should be fine. (My brother has a galaxy s so i know all about flashing it) also before installing a rom make sure its for your version (verizon or gsm/att/tmobile)

Dear all,
I think I have read, that I can flash a Xperia S Kernel on my Acro S. It will work but I will loose external SD Card support - is that right?
Thanks for your answers
Kind regards
NEVER DO THAT!!!!!!
This will hard-brick your phone even though software of S & acro S are similar.
