Due to the fact 4.04 (think it is somehow ported) it is not certified, look on ptcrb, i flashed 4.04 but not from first hand. Second time i made it. Now i do have 72 baseband (coming from 70 on 4.03 arc s) but NO ROOT. Are there any easyway to root 72 baseband and keep all the kernel etc stock? Any doomlord or zergush or else methos (not including here fastboot cause not working for me.)
thank you
Ever thought of using the SEARCH function? There are other threads regarding rooting and general ICS discussions. I suggest you post your query there. :-\

Hi,
I'm a new Xperia Arc S user, this is my first android phone as well (previously - WP7 on Samsung Focus, unlocked it and installed custom roms there - im experienced)
Got this phone since a couple of days now, it's running android 2.3.4, as ICS update is not available in my country yet. The phone came with PlusGSM branding, although can't tell the difference to stock android because I never had one.
I installed couple of apps, did some updates from android market and now I have like 44MB free only. Anyway now I'm wondering what to do next? Do you recommend anything in particular, like flashing to ICS, rooting, wait for official ICS update, etc?
Gonna read some guides like "Ultimate v1.0 Newbie's Guide For Arc / Arc S User" meantime
Wrong forum for question look at Q&A Section
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1182
Oh sorry for that, could a moderator move my thread there?
ps. I'm just upgrading to official ICS via PC Companion, it poped up 1h ago...
I heard that there is no valid method of unlocking bootloader on Xperia Arc S without loosing DRM's. So I would like skip this part and try some custom roms that doesnt require to have it unlocked. Could you recommend any particular custom ICS roms ?

no harm will happen to your phone, but if something does happen all you need to do is flash the original ICS.ftf onto your phone and it will be fixed

Hello everyone,
My question is i subject - I have Japanese Xperia Acro IS11S, with Android 4.0.1.B.0.117
Wonder how can I root it? I rooted it before, while on 2.3.4, using SuperOneClick software (found on XDA, too). Will it work with 4.0.1 as well?..
Just do not want anything go wrong so.. maybe someone rooted same phone already and might share some experience, or any advice will be appreciated
Thanks!!!
My friend has a xperia play from at&t which is sim unlocked and he wants to try a few custom roms. His phone "bootloader unlocking allowed" is "no".
It is only rooted but with stock recovery and stock rom. So can anyone guide me how to install custom recovery and what roms can be flashed on locked bootloader for sim unlocked at&t xperia play? Or there's no way to do that?
He is willing to run jellybean based roms.
I have searched around but it is getting confusing and I did not find any specific guide for at&t xperia play.
Please help!
Edit: his xperia play says the model is r800i in the *#*#7378423#*#* menu but it is from at&t. I don't know why it says r800i maybe because he had flashed the 2.3.2 ftf made for r800i.....
Either your friend did it or someone else, his phone is running an R800i rom, so either from a FTF or custom ROM that was flashed....i this a second hand Xperia PLAY your friend has?
Yes i asked him he said he flashed r800i ftf himself. And please let me know which ftf and rooting method should i use to root the at&t xperia play and the steps to install custom recovery and which roms will work
EDIT : I see you edited it yourself.
Bump.... Please anyone?
EDIT : I see you edited it yourself.
just searched a bit and found this....
First you have to look if your friend's phone is an r800 at or i. if it's blue then it is an at (as it should be being an AT&T) or just remove battery and look behind the phone.
I just looked for it on google writing this "what rom works on r800at" and found this
1 . R800at ROM Questions Read the whole thread. itr's only 3 pages. It essentially says that any r800i (internatinoal, non branded model) ROM works in r800at since both are gsm based. Just have to set up apn setting. But r800x roms doesn't work with r800at because they are CDMA not GSM
2. What is the best rom for gaming? R800at. I have an r800a (branded model) and I recomend this one DiXperia 2 'Everlasting' | Performance. Stability. Experience. but if you're looking for a jellybean-like just flash [ROM] [GSM] [2.3.4] Gin2JellyBean [v1.8.4] - |Fast|Smooth|Stable|Eye Candy|. It looks like jelly bean but it's Gingerbread based.
Anyway, you only can flash stock-based ROMs if you have locked bootloader, and the Xperia Play never got official jellybean, so you are restricted to only GB-based and ICS-based roms. Just get some GB based themed with jelly bean!!!!! Also if you have locked BL you have to stick with stock kernel and can't oveclock. Sorry:crying:
Please click on "thanks" buttons if I helped

Check the tutorials and FAQ in my signature they should give more than enough information
Im guessing you know about this FAQ things RC's are doing
Has anyone with more abilities than me tried flashing Xperia S on Arc s Phone?
I know nothing about packing and unpacking kernels and systems...
But if it serves as a meter on my experiences, I've flashed all of Arcs Firmwares successfully, unlocked bootloader, Installed Custom firmwares on it, Cyanogenmod (4.1 and 4.2.2), P.a.c (4.2.2), MIUI. All sucessfully and used them for a long time.
As I know from friends that Arcs firmware can be flashed on Arc. Neo L firmware can be flashed onto the Xperia Play etc...
So would you know if with a little bit of tinkering Xperia S could be flashed on Arc S?
Or, if it is just bluberish?

Better not to try. You might hard brick your device. That means, that your device will be unrecoverable.
