These kind of questions are hard to answer all together, but I can tell you some things.
-you will need to have your bootloader unlocked in order to get ICS.
-i would actually recommend you stay on Gingerbread if you want a gaming experience!
-what you version of android do you have? 2.3.2,3,4?

How can i unlock my boot-loader hopefully without having to pay that dude 25 bucks but if that's the only way i may do it and its 2.3.4 i don't mind wiping it as far as staying on gingerbread could you recommend a good rom for that maybe one i can control and launch apps from locked screen with voice commands
oh and since sony sent me my last update none of the Google services work proper so any rom i load has to not have that problem

should i root my phone?

i don't know whether i should root my phone because i am afraid of bricking it, but there are too much limitations with unrooted phone.
It's really up to you, it isn't that risky if you have enough knowledge to do everything exactly according to the guides.

No offense, but you need a little knowledge to root and flash a custom rom. This isn't meant for the average user. It feels like everyone who gets an android phone nowadays (as it's becoming a more popular OS) want's to root and flash a custom rom as soon as they have in their hands without even knowing what it really means. The information to do all this is available here on this forum in form of guides which in most of the cases are quite extensive. If you want to root and flash a custom rom etc, you will have to do some reading on your own.
AFAIK this forum isn't here to hold the hands of android virgins as they try modify their phones without even knowing what a command prompt is. Almost every day someone new wants step by step instructions for this and for that even though there are good instructions out there. This forum is meant for people with some experience and knowledge that want to get the most out of our phones. New members are ofcourse welcome, but please, do some studying on your own too.
I was so scared to root my first phone last week. I sat for three hours reading guides over and over again to make sure I new what I was doing and I havent regretted doing it.
Too often I come across threads like this, if your not sure then you probably don't need to root, yet! If you decide to root read the stickies in the development thread, and don't say you havent got time to read a 100 page thread it'll be a lot quicker than fixing your DHD when it's buggered up
Hi ghostofcain
I hope you do not take offence to my reply.

I DIDN'T need to downgrade first and simply followed the video on the bottom of this page.
(Youtube version)
I then simply installed CM7 rom via Rom Manager.
(I am rarely sick but I had been quite ill and in a lot of pain for a few days which was a shock to the system, and when I did get better, I had the mindset that nothing matters at all.) It's not easy for most folk to feel that way. Life is a game. Nothing ventured nothing gained.
Unless you are unhappy or bored with Sense or the performance of your phone - there isn't too much reason to root in my opinion.

Best thing i ever did. I had a jailbroken iphone before i got my Desire HD so rooting was the first thing i looked at when i got my HD, getting rid of the branding was the main reason but then i realized how many Roms were out there and now its hard to choose which one to use :

Thanks very much.
There's a lot of changes and benefits if you root your phone and install a custom ROM... First, there are a lot of custom ROMs, for any taste. MIUI imitate the iOS system, with the liberty of Android OS, for example, and RevoHD leave the original SENSE ROM, with improvements of course.
Then, custom ROMs have some interesting tweaks, like zipalign, the ads removing and a better management of the RAM.
To finish, I did it myself (running the MIUI ROM by Rey) and I have no regrets. After reading a few tutorials it was easy as ABC !
Like it was said before It's up to you, I dont intend to convince anyone, but If you wanna do it, go doing some searches. This forum has some tutorials, and anyone, even a noob can understand them.

[Q] Justifies going to 2.3.4 to ICS rom - Xperia Play r800a?

Hello.... I'm new here and I have a question..
I have a Xperia Play r800a with android 2.3.4.
The latest news are that the official ICS will not be for our xperia play... that made a lot of people sad... including me..
But there's a ICS rom and is possible to install it in the xperia play...
my question is.. is worth doing that?
Other questions that comes from the first:
updating the xperia play to ICS will bring benefits? or will bring problems?
I don't use the xperia play to play the official xperia play games, I use it to play emulators (NES, GBA, PSX, SNES, etc) so if the only problem is for gaming the offical games, that don't bother me...
I apreciate the information and recomendations you could give about this unofficial ICS rom... if justifies the change!
Thanx a lot.. and sorry for my english!
Alejandroch said:
Hello.... I'm new here and I have a question..
Welcome to the scene! So there are quite a lot of ICS roms out for r800 devices with unlocked devices. Forgive me if I'm wrong; however I'm fairly certain that unfortunately there are no hassle free methods of unlocking R800a. The only way to unlock it is through the testpoint method, which unlocks sim also. A programme named "omnius" is used and it is a paid service. However the instructions are straight forward. The cost shouldn't be more than a few dollars or so, but you got to check into that. Again I may be wrong
As for the ROMs I have personally used emulators and played games like Mortal combat and Tekken 3, and worked like mint. Of course the touchpad I didn't use as they weren’t needed. But I only used the dpads. So the buttons and not the touch sensitive thing. Main features work best on the ICS official beta that was released. Using that you get pretty much everything working.
and here is the link for that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1571463
1) Is it worth it, well for me 101% yes it is. But i remember my first days I found things difficult and if you want to do it, do it in a weekend, get a can of coke and get working as it may take you a whole day to get your head around flashing ROMs.
Good thing: You can always flash a FTF stock firmware through Flashtool that basically it would reverse your phone, to its factory default state. These include, Rom, Kernal, Baseband and so on. So by doing that almost as nothing has ever been done, if you didn't like it
Bad thing: Your warranty will be void upon unlocking your bootloader, however I just used the blagus Relock tool and got my phone fixed when it broke. But some say I'm a lucky guy as they check the DRM key and Blagus tools doesn't bring back those keys that will be wiped clean upon unlocking bootloader.
But I actually don't use the Official beta as I like CM9 better. Some minor features like Wifi tethering are a WIP but heck who cares. I like it as it's smooth and fast.
Hope this helped and good luck

Thank you so much!
So there's a lot of pros with the ICS rom!!
Which are the main problems of this rom version? you said that you had problems with the wifi, are there more?
Thanx again!
other thing.... sorry for my lack of knowledge.... Is ther any Tutorial I can follow?
regards.
Yes, as I said there are minor issues such as WiFi tethering. Again not the Wifi itself but tethering. Some say battery lasts longer on stock ROMs and does not last as much on ICS which I don't believe in. I personally think battery life is infact better. Some other minor issue are things like video recorder which is a problem with Cyanogenmod. So if you flash the [ROM][PLAY][GSM] ICS++ [Update: Version 1.2 01/05] which the link for is
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599906
You would have almost no BUGs and every feature is functional.
But you can sacrifice some minor issues and go for a Cyanogenmod which would give you a MUCH MUCH faster and smoother user experience. The ROM is clean and has no annoying Xperia Play apps that take space. But you have lot of flexibility.
Yes there are many tutorials on how to do this. However you would find many tutorials that are designed only for R800i devices and I believe R800a are not so easy to unlock.
may this link may help: http://unlock-bootloader.com/
I have ready that many with the same device as yours have already done it throguh the sue of Omnius.
http://www.omnius-server.com/buy_client
But a 1 month subscription and they should provide you a detailed guide on how to unlock the bootloader. Infact have a look over the website and find xperia play and they offer many other features too. But I mean these things I know from past and I haven't looked into R800a much. So try searching for similar queries and you may be lucky and there maybe an even free solution to unlock bootloader. YOu need unlocked bootloader to flash custome roms.
But then again these are all up to how much you want it. You are not the only one you is new and interested. Since sony said there will be no update for Xperia play many have joined this community and take advantage of ICS. I have to say it is a much gaster ROM than GB. YOu can use google chrome which is pretty sweet and with all that, it may look and will be tough. But you will learn and becomes much easier and the community would help you out a lot!
Good luck mate
If you really want to see some tutorial on how to unlock bootloader for free then here are some link that some people have used to unlock their device.
In this video, you see the location of the testpoint.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFhjmtyyy6E
Then you must follow this guide and you have an unlocked bootloader, but still the drm rights
http://androidflip.com/unlock-xperia-phones-bootloader-without-losing-drm-data-track-id-working/
PLEASE, this may not work on your device and I'm not responsible for anything that might happen. Do a through research before doing anything! Good luck
Thanx again!!

[Q] Clarifying the rooting process for beginners?

First of all it should be briefly noted that I am complete beginner on the subject of rooting, although I do have some basic knowledge of actually what it is.
But, apart from that I want to divert myself away from the confusion. Having watched/read at least 15 tutorials on the process, I've found that more people are having problems than actually enjoying the features. All l I really want to know, is there an exact fool proof method out there for the HTC one X that is undeniably going to work? Or for my benefit should I just stay clear of the process completely to avoid bricking my phone?
For my own use, all I essentially want from rooting is to simply change a few stock settings and maybe play around with a few apps. I don't really want to be messing around with new roms or the like. Having said that, what is it exactly I need to do in order to have my phone rooted and not be in danger of bricking/messing up my phone. I would still want to maintain updates from HTC, would this effect this? Or am I wanting too much?
Anyway, although most of you experts out there are probably going to be annoyed by another post like this but having done some extensive research on the process in such a small amount of time I still feel that things aren't clarified, which is probably why a lot of people do it wrong. I don't know maybe it's just human error, or a lack of understanding but I just don't want to brick my phone.
Any help breaking down the process from start to finish would be great.
I have a HTC One X running 4.1.1 on T mobile. I live in the UK so do i assume mine is the international version?

I assume that you have the fastboot files for the htc one x .
If not then please search on xda
Make sure u backup all your important data,contacts,etc
Step 1. Register on htcdev.com
Step 2. Unlocking the bootloader
Enable usb debugging on your phone
Power off your hox
Hold power button and volume down to get into bootloader
Select fastboot
Connect hox to ur pc using usb cable
Open command prompt
Go to your fastboot folder ex. cd c:\fastboot
type "fastboot oem get_identifier_token" without quotes
Copy the token code.. check on htcdev site for copying that token code
Submit your token code
Wait for an email from htc
After you get, download the Unlock_code.bin file from the email u received
Copy it to ur fastboot folder
In command prompt type "fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin" without quotes
On your hox u will be prompted with "Unlock bootloader?"
Choose yes using volume buttons and then press power button
This unlocks your bootloader.
Sry gtg, will post on how to root, after sometime..
Till then unlock your bootloader.
Is the phone branded? Is the phone evita or endeavoru? Check the bootloader

There are lots of youtube video of the process.
It's really easy, if you follow them there is nothing dangerous that might happen.
Check this tool, it may make your life easier.
Good luck

One thing to make absolutely clear is that there is absolutely never, ever an exact foolproof method. The rooting process is as simple as it can be made and yet many fools somehow manage to screw their devices.
You are looking for a guarantee, a process that is "undeniably going to work". You are NOT going to get one.

Since we're using official bootloader unlocked process not s-off, we're actually immuned to hard bricking our phone. Unharmful soft bricking happening sometimes, however 99% of human mistake or boot image did't flash properly. Assumed that you're not going to flashes any custom ROM thus you will most unlikely to face bootloop btw.

Trickier parts. First let me explained how official OTA updates apply, it checks and verifying on many aspects to ensure integrity of the ROM. If you removed system apps, themed on it, altered framework files, you will fail to complete OTA update. Even you don't do somethings like I said, you will still lost root access after successfully apply though simple re-rooting resolve the problem.
To play safe, make sure you find a RUU for your phone (according to your phone's CID; edeavoru/evita does matter) with greater or same version number as your current. Else you might wanna to make yourself one immediately you unlokced your phone or look in the [Stock Nandroid Backups for Different CIDs] thread on this sub-forum. The reason to do that is so you can always fallback to original ROM state for an official OTA.
If the guides on this forum are not clear enough for you then you should not be attempting to do anything with your phone. There are a multitude of threads on here and 99% of them are aimed at the beginner and are as simple as they can be. If you cannot follow them then you haven't read enough. Please remember this is a Forum for developers and everyone else, including myself, is a guest here. No one is under any obligation to explain anything or provide guides of any kind, they do it because they want to. You are basically making a post directed at the people who have provided guides out of the goodness of their hearts and telling them that those guides are useless. That's not a very nice thing to do. And yes, this is another unnecessary thread
You have been clued
I'm not sure as to where I have implied or stated that the guides posted by the developers are in fact useless. I said that a lot of people make mistakes, partly due to miss understanding and miss information. If it what was that clear and fool proof people wouldn't have problems with the process, I've seen a number of people make mistakes following these guides.
It may also be a seemingly pointless post to you, and other developers, but to someone who isn't and isn't familiar with this kind of process, I have found it to be beneficial in clarifying some points I wanted to know.

It is clear and it is foolproof. I'm no expert and I used the guides to which you are referring. The problem, which you don't seem to be able to understand, is that the people who are having problems have not read and understood everything before they proceed. And you have implied that the guides are no good, again. It is not mis-information, it is impatience. Read, read and read again, use the search button and read once more. Everything you ask has been answered over and over again and everyone is fed up of seeing the same questions multiple times a day. Have a look in almost any rom thread and you will see that devs and team members are repeating themselves constantly simply because people can't or won't use the search button and fail to read previous posts.
Pause a little and think how the author of a help post must feel when they read that their guide is being reported as incomplete or incorrect after spending countless hours making sure the information is correct.
Rest assured that all guides are correct and accurate, if they weren't they would only be devs on here and no users.
Where are the cakes?
I'm not sure how use words like 'incomplete' or 'incorrect' when I have used neither to describe the developers guides.
For the third time, I said miss understanding and miss information on behalf of the users who are attempting the guides. Not at all did I say or imply that the developers guides are useless. Now, I fully understand the point you're making about this being annoying, I just failed to understand how annoying this actually is on a large scale. I'm new to forums like this and it's obvious now that repetitive posts become annoying after many people have already discuss them, to which I apologise for.

Is the note five dead in here or still on the hunt for root
My understanding is that if you want root or unlocked bootloader, do NOT buy an AT&T device. The unlocked international version is capable of root and custom roms, from what I have read on the forums.
Yeah well I want to try to take a stab at it so point me were I can go to learn to mess with are I mean are only bootloader I have Kali liunx pc that's why I asked if there is a team working on any of this for note 5 if not I just want to do this for my self you guys do know we have oem unlock witch that is a good sign then you guys have found exploits to I have not upgraded to nugget I'm on mm how many years has it been since this phone been out like it was one said to me in another forum u can't expect someone to do it for u all I ask is you point me in the direction to mess with are bootloader only and also tackle knoxs my other ? Is can I downgrade I'm asking all these questions in one post because like I said I want to do this for me I'm learning wifi hacking and I want to learn Android cause iPhone sucks I have note 4 unlocked T-Mobile but the software sucks or meaning custom roms they have yes I know all att bootloader are locked dose not mean they can't be hacked u got to take effort on wanting to do it anyways I'm post pic of what I got I'm willing to put in work if I new were to start

I'm glad I'm just sending this phone back you guys are no help a bunch of wusses to me but what ever going to T-Mobile
Most of us couldn't understand what you wanted. Mainly because the only time you used any form of punctuation was when you were too damn lazy to type the word "question" and used a question mark instead.
But hey, since you already thanked us for nothing, then that's exactly what you'll get. Have a great time figuring it out on your own.
