THX!
Thank you for this thread!
First of all, I want to say thank you to FreeXperia team and Cyanogenmod!
This release is amazing! Yesterday, I have unlocked the bootloader and install CM7 to my Arc. Followed the guide step by step. And EVERY things are working perfectly. Read about some post in development section about "bugs". I would like to say everyone -who hasn't got gsm signal, vibration, etc- FOLLOW THE GUIDE!
This is the perfect way, I think:
1. Install 4.0.A.2.368 with flashtool(this is MUST!!!)
2. copy the update and gapps zip to sdcard
3. enter fastboot mode on phone(indicated by blue led)
4. open CMD(with administrator permission)
5. Flash the cm kernel( fastboot flash boot boot.img)
6. enter cwm recovery(press several times the volume down key during boot)
7. choose apply update from sdcard and select rom
8. choose apply update from sdcard and select GAPPS
9. wipe device
10. reboot
Maybe it will help for beginners like me.

Thank you..if I want to go back to se stock rom what should I do?
Can I also do a nandroid backup of my se rom and restore it?How?
What about the warranty if I unlock and ther relock the booloader?

isn't there a way to make it work on 4.0.1 fw??

Will it work only on stock 4.0.A2 or 4.0.1 also supported

In CM7 Thread in Development Section??

I tried this one too, ended up with a broken Arc
Now my phone has the 0% battery issue, it's unusable.
Ill have to look for another phone I guess...
I followed the steps exactly and all went fine.
I installed all my apps last evening and no battery issues whatsoever.
But then I plugged it in to recharge it, and this morning it went nuts and gave the 0% battery problem.
No idea what caused it, my guess is it was somehow triggered by my charger.

Did you try to take out the battery for a while?
How does the cam work on CM7?
As good as with SE's firmware?

I have to disagree on that one, I like the UI and it is taking pictures just fine.
The only thing is its focus, it will only focus when you press the button not in normal view as what the stock camera app does.
And you can always use a market app like vignette for it, but its all personal of course

voice search and theme chooser not working
Ok anyone else have no working voice search and theme chooser I'm on cm7.1.0. Update not 7.1.0.1.

[Q] Negligently flashed theme - Help?

Running stock 2.3.6, T-Mobile, T989. Rooted via ODIN, CWM installed. Wasn't paying any damn attention and flashed a battery theme. Now my status bar FCs at startup.
Is there any way to recover from this, or would I be better off unrooting/returning to full stock and then rerooting, reinstalling, etc?

There may be a better answer, but I would just flash a new rom. There's so keep roms available if that's what you want

well, if you made one do a nandroid backup. should work if im not mistaking
Anyone feel free to correct me if I am wrong

Now, see, if I'd been thinking I'd've made a Nandroid before flashing. You know, like mentally stable people do. Unfortunately, thinking wasn't on the menu.
I flashed Zedomax's 2.3.5 and will do an ODIN -> Stock 2.3.6 -> root again once I touch my Windows PC again tonight.
Learn from my failure! Nandroid now, nandroid tomorrow, nandroid forever.

What???
You don't have to root again once rooted already.
Just flash a stock rom from the T989 dev section. Do a nandroid backup.

You can just flash a theme that's made for your ROM... I had this happen to me when I was trying to make my own theme and had bootloops with everything force closing in me so I instead just flashed a working theme to fix it.

What I ended up doing was using ODIN to return to completely stock, then rerooting and removing CIQ by hand. I'm at the point where I'm not interested in flashing anything save the eventual CM9.

[Q] JB to ICS via Nandroid?

I've moved my VZWGnex, like the rest of the herd, to JB and flashed a few kernels for fun. Personally, I had no issues at all. Now, about 24 hrs in, I'm kinda missing all of the customization of Liquid 1.5 (ICS).
Since there are so many threads that have been peppered with issues involving Nandroid/CWM/Alt Recoveries/TBU, I thought I'd start a thread to centralize the experiences.
The central question of the thread is...
Which are the reliable methods for moving from JB to ICS on the Gnex?
Obviously, there will be variations on the theme, based on individual history and preferences, but I've not seen the answer to this question clearly defined in any way other than via fastboot. That may be the only way, but I'm tempted to believe that a nandroid backup can work. Did it work for you?

I have TeamWin Recovery. I simply back up (nandroid) the ICS and then install JB. To go back, I simply restore the backup.

And you're already done this, right? This isn't just theory.
To which ICS rom did you restore? And from which JB rom?

I have cwm. Flashed bigxies (check spelling) jb rom last night and flashed back my backup of rascream/trinity combo a little bit ago
Did not wipe just flashed backup.

In an effort to bolster others' confidence, maybe those of you who have restored ICS roms from nandroid backups could give some extra details, like:
Your daily driver that you backed up before going to JB.
Your preferred recovery.
Your version of JB.
The exact steps you took to restore the nandroid backup.
(Ex: All I did was restore my backup in CWM. Did not wipe.)

Update:
Came from Liquid 1.5 and CWM 5.5.0.4 (it's not the touch version)
Flashed the Vicious JBv2 without issue. Tried several kernels - stock, stock linaro, Franco, etc.
Without wiping, flashed the Liquid 1.5 nandroid in CWM.
NO ERRORS

<just asking>
so you can apparently restore to 4.0.4 cwm backup from 4.1 directly without any issues. is that right? and just a question. can i, after restoring to 4.0.4, restore back 4.1 again? that is without flashing the bigxie's jb rom , simply by restoring cwm backup, would it come back to 4.1?
</just asking>
Incase you are wondering why would anyone want to do that, its just that iv experienced some wifi issues since jb update. and iv seen the verizon wifi fix. iv flashed it, only to make the signal more worse. i bot my nexus from the google play store. so i think i may have messed up the wifi files. by going back to 4.0.4 i want to copy the files in wifi directory from the etc folder. just hoping to get back to the normal wifi conectivity as on 4.0.4. is there anything im overlooking or any simpler solution?
thanks a lot in advance.

Yes. A nandroid restore formats everything beforehand so you will have no issue restoring between 4.0.4 and 4.1.

[Q] Google Now driving me nuts!

Hello peeps!
I would be after some advice to help me figure out what the hell is up with Google Now!
First of all here is my setup... Stock JB (3.14.707.24), Unlocked Bootloader, CWM Recovery. (Tried some custom ROMs but found them a little unstable on my device, although tried plenty of ROMs while on ICS without problems)
Now, Google Now seemed to work fine, until I restored a Nandroid Backup. That, as far as I'm aware, shouldn't have caused a problem as the phone seems to be running as was before I installed a custom ROM. I "long press Home", Google Now opens, I get the commute card but nothing else. I can ask it things, such as weather and other searches that usually return a spoken reply, but nothing! It just brings up regular search results.
I have tried... Clearing data, uninstalling updates, signing out then back in to Google, disabling then re-enabling location services, changing language (using More Locale 2 from Play Store) back and forth between UK and US... Nothing seems to work. I didn't swipe my weather card away, it just ceased to appear. I have searched the web to find out if there was a problem with Googles' servers, but there doesn't appear to be.
Short of reinstalling the official RUU, which I'm not convinced will do the trick, I'm at a total loss for ideas, so I put it to the floor! Can anyone suggest anything that I haven't tried!
Thanks so much in advance!

Did you wipe your system and cache before installing the nandroid backup??
Im not sure whether that will do the trick... But its worth a try.

I'm pretty sure I did... I always make a point of performing a full wipe before installing either a ROM or backup, but perhaps I'll have another go. I might even bite the bullet and try a complete RUU install as I have everything backed up via My Backup Pro anyway. Will see what I can do on my next day off work!
Thanks for the advice.

Also which ROM are you using?

I'm on stock, just unlocked with CWM installed. No SU, no Busybox, no nothing. I doubt the recovery is causing the issue. I had tried ARHD 17.1 and Renovate 11 but both seemed to cause issues so I went back to stock via a Nandroid backup. May have another crack at a custom ROM, if that doesn't satisfy, I'll probably flash the RUU and see if that does the trick.
Fingers crossed! At least I haven't bricked the phone yet!

[Q]Backup & Restore

Hello everyone, I'm really confused by all the several different types of answers on xda regarding backup and restore. I thought it might be easier to explain my situation. I'm using a locked Xperia S on ICS .45 and want to install XZXperience rom for which I first have to flash to .50, root, and then flash the XZXperience rom. However, it says that it is "Always better to wipe data, cache, dalvik cache and system in recovery before to flash." I don't really know what this means since this is the first time I'll be doing it, and my main concern is losing my music, videos, pictures, contacts, sms, whatsapp messages, and apps (I don't care about any settings). My question is, how can I back up all the elements mentioned so that I can restore them AFTER I flash XZXperience? Thank you very much in advance for all your help!

Make a back up with the stock back up and restore from sony for your contacts,sms and apps,whats app has his own backup see settings in whats app.If you have stored your music,video's and pictures on your internal sd card they will not be erased by wiping data.Try using titanium backup when you'r rooted its a great app to back up.Also if you have installed CWM you can make a full back up of your phone. So if something gone wrong(bootloop or something like that)you wil be able to get back to the state when you maked the back up.

I have a question regarding this ...
I installed a mod audio on my Xperia S using CWM. I used it a while and then I noticed that did not work well. So I decided to restore the back up I had done before installing ....
What happened? Well, I started my phone and stopped his charge cycle in the SONY logo and did nothing more ...
As I read in this post ... That was a SOFT-brick because i broke the kernel at some point ...
My question is: What did I do wrong? Why did not the CWM restore do to correct? or, why did not do to correct back up?
Thanks (and sorry for my possibly bad english :silly: )
