I have an Xperia Play R800X Locked bootloader. I saw on wotanserver that there was another firmware version available for my R800x that ends in .88. My current firmware ends in .89 and is 2.3.2 Is .88 2.3.3? What do I get by updating to 2.3.3 if that is what is is (PSN?)? Do i need to unlock bootloader to use wotan. I also have removed much of the bloatware, and added CWM recovery.
P.S.: To all developers; Any word on 4.0 ICS for the CDMA R800X? I (and many other R800X users) am willing to make a nice donation to the first developer to crack it.
Thanks, Zach
Yes, I think .88 is the latest R800x firmware (2.3.3). No, you don't need to be unlocked to use Wotanserver and you can update with it regardless of deleted apps (it re-installs them when it updates). I think it's mainly a bugfix/stability update or something. Pretty sure you'll have to re-install CWM too

We have a stable MIUI(ICS based) and ICS in the android dev section. (Unlocked bootloader needed)

I thought miui was scrapped and ics was only for GSM at the moment. I have a r800x cdma. If I am wrong, could you throw me links for these? Thanks

If you have some cash to throw at ICS on the r800x, post a bounty.

However, the MIUI version does not yet support CDMA, so far as I can tell.

Might be easier just to message Kerian, I think he'll be on later today to upload v5, see if he can post the previous versions in his 1st post on his thread. I had v2 and v3 but got rid of them just a few days ago sorry man

I didn't even know there was a v2 or 3!
Keiran doesn't have it either. I just was looking for a CDMA kernel replacement for stock besides DooMLoRD's. His eats my battery too quickly.

Actually I'm using kerian's kernel for my ics rom..Most cdma users are. Have you tried the icx kernel? paxChristos sent me a link to it and it worked with fxp112 and I'm 95% sure I still have it..If I'm not mistaken icx will give support to us cdma users soon too, well that's what paxChristos wrote me anyway lol. How is your battery life?

There is a possibility that you will get a black screen after boot if you try that. Especially with gsm custom roms. I wouldn't recommend you do that.

You can not install any GB firmware on your R800x. Simple as that. If there was a way there would've been a thread about it a long time ago.

I am telling TA you can install on the r800x. I'm not saying you can make calls or text. But you will have the homescreens. And you will be able to use the phone. I do not know what is different about this firmware T.A. but it works on my phone without leaving me with a black homescreen.

I agree with Ozzman YOU CAN INSTALL TRUE ANCESTOR the basic.phone calls text etc Wong work no signal or data I am also speaking from experiance

Hi
I picked up a newn AT&T Ion on Craigslist for $75. A real nice device. I am pleasantly surprised. Perfect size and very smooth with ICS.
I've looked around and initially thought it couldn't be rooted; however I've seen a couple of threads contradicting that.
Can someone tell me if I can root?
Thanks

You can root with Eroot (search) but you cannot unlock the bootloader.
Unlocking is needed to load custom kernels then?

Exactly.
Therefore, you can only flash custom ROMs that is based on stock ROM.
Is that any rom in the ion section? If not then how do i tell which custom roms based on stock i can flash? Thanks

1. No custom kernel for locked bl.
2. Usually the ROM thread will tell you if this ROM is based on stock ROM or CM or AOSP or whatever.
Most stock-based ROMs are locked bl friendly unless otherwise stated.
I have an R800x with unlocked bootloader. I've flashed the Lupus GB kernel and I'm looking for a good gaming ROM. There don't seem to be too many choices for a GB rom on r800x with CDMA service. I'm guessing COLA or Darkforest are my only choices? Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks!

Your Rom looks great! Quick question. I am guessing that the google navigation app is removed in the Rom? If so can I back it up with Titanium and restore it in your Rom? Thanks!

All I've seen are jellybean and ics roms that I really don't want. I want service on my phone but don't want jellybean/ics because of it's performance compared to gb. Any good r800x gaming roms?
To answer your question. I have tried several roms both on the Verizon model and my current GSM model. Stock debliated with no v6 supercharger or scripts gains you the best performance. Especially on Verizon's as it was stock based firmware. I believe I still have my old nandroid backup laying around. Stock debloated 2.3.3. Do not get 2.3.4. VZ broke the Google sync and it was never fixed
Because 99% of the devs didn't have an r800x. And as Sony only released ICS as a beta for GSM it was never successfully ported to Verizon's model.
I owned an R800x before getting a GSM model.

Edit - This should be a stock debloated 2.3.3 for VZ with root.

It's a nandroid backup. Put it on your phone and boot into cwm and restore it like its a back up. You have to be on 2.3.3 first.
