2) why my phone after unlock bootloader i cant update from ((sony update center or pc companion)) is ther is any way to fix it and i can be able to update again
3) why in arc/s kernel version is still in (2.6.32.9) ((phone siting - about the phone)
while other phone weaker than arc/s and the dev could put (3.0.3.1) with (( Linaro 4.7.1 ))
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1786220
4) why in arc/s we cant take picture while recording video although the camera is super strong and amazing

and tooo many more things i didn't get the answer and i didn't get why
thanx and sorry again
best wishes

1. Google it!
2. Google it and you can't as that's one of the draw backs, relock it if you want to use them.
3. Ask Sony.
4. Because you can't, and don't see the point.
5. Because thats how the Phone was made.
6. Write posts properly.​

There are different ROMs and kernels for the Arc/s so not sure what you're trying to get at with that? And no need to apologise, it's just frustrating when you read questions that have been answered a million times before.

Nope, you didn't. You're not the first to say they've searched for something when they clearly haven't and you certainly wont be the last. I came here to learn, not be spoon fed and rehashed old information that I could have found myself by searching.

flash proper kernel (no, I won't provide any links, you have to find it by yourself by using "search" tool... aokp is CM9 [ICS] or CM10 [JB]) and then flash aokp ROM

The best way to learn something is to read ROM's first posts
First posts of many roms don't give much information actually... You'll probably have to read many ''first posts'' to get a proper understanding. People on here are annoying about telling new people how to get started because they in all likelihood learned by themselves though searching and reading. Flashing a new rom is easy but there is a learning curve and you will need troubleshooting skills, so the more you read and know the better!

We are all learning by making mistakes You think why I know more than e.g. OP of this thread? Because I'm too impatient to wait until somebody will answer my questions! I was doing things by myself, bricking phones, restoring them back and gaining knowlegde! So not more experienced users are "bad" because they won't tell everything, NEW USERS ARE TO LAZY TO SEARCH, MAKING MISTAKES AND LEARN!!!

Don't worry!
Anyone coming to XDA forums for the first time, is "noob" and all the other names...
What IS important - you have "sticky" threads that will explain quite a lot. BUT, you'll have to read and read and read until you'll know what and where to ask... Well, we all learn until we die... :angel:
So, yes, read. Search and search and read again! Or, if you're in real trouble, send PM (you know what that is, right?)...
Regarding your question, well, you'll just have to look around and decide what you'll do with your hov :fingers-crossed:
But, to be on "friendly side",

I KNOW - a lot to read, but...
Oh, don't just pick a rom like pants or shirt, go through all of them, read and read all OPs until you're sure which one to put on your hov. And before you do that for the first time, learn how to do that again and again...

I know how to root or how to make nandroid backup...my question is just that do I need to flash the kernel, I have stock kernel and I read a post that stock kernel is sufficient for all roms but not sure if its true...need an expert suggestion for that like from u people!!!

To make it short: every rom needs a kernel that it's likely not stock kernel. In every OP of rom it's written which kernel you have to use...

Rooting, themes and more..

Hi guys, I was looking at rooting my phone. However there are some issues I have with it that hopefully you guys can rectify.
How can I update?
What is the most popular rom?
Is it worth rooting?
My main reason for rooting is getting rid of the bloatware from samsung and optus on my phone. I also want to customize Nova launcher with icon themes but I can do that without a root. What other things can I do with my phone with a root?
Is rooting hard? And how do I backup my phone before I do it? Searching around on here I came across an app called Titanium Backup but you have to be rooted to backup with that?
There is so many more questions I want to ask, but I will leave it at this for now.
Thank you!
Can anyone please help me?

Bumping your topic after a couple of house inst going help. Could just end up getting topic closed/deleted. This is not your phones tech support desk and nobody here owes you an answer so when you create a topic be patient. Also not putting "help me please" as topic title would help, just be precise and descriptive about what topic is about.
To answer questions..
1. You flash rom through custom recovery.
2. There is no such thing as a "best" rom and asking this question is against rules.
3. Yes.
I would highly recommend you do some reading/research.

1) I can do this through Odin correct?
2) Ok, what is the most popular rom?
3) Ok.
Should I change my kernel to a different one than stock? My friends said it helps performance and battery life, but I don't know how stable they are. Could someone suggest a good one?
Last time I rooted my old phone I did a bad job of it, I lost all my stuff and I don't want it to happen this time.
If I buy Titanium Backup could this prevent this? I want to be able to update the ROM how can I do this, and what rom would you suggest in this case?
Thank you.

I already answered this earlier, please try and read.
Some ROM's like Cyanogenmod for example have inbuilt rom downloaders which will enable you to download next version and then flash it automatically.
However process is same, simply download new rom, reboot into rescue and then flash next version. No wipe is needed if its same base/version. You only need to wipe if going to new rom/base etc. Wipe will only wipe data partition on internal, your external is untouched.

Managed to root my stock rom.
If anyone is interested in doing this see the sticky in the n7105 thread the guy shows you how to install a custom recovery and install supersu 2.0 through that.
It is also great to try different roms, you can backup and install multiple roms to your liking.

You don't have to apologize for wanting to get answersed a simple question.
I am not the dev, so I can't much say about the technichal aspects.
It is combined with aroma; you select manually what you want to be removed.
You can select every single app and some vendor stuff.
Just be careful not to delete anything essential.
