No, although the files are similar we cannot flash S software, mods, etc. onto the ION and vice versa

Pretty much same hardware but yeh you can't flash the XS firmware on the ion. Something you are trying to get?

Just wonder. Liking the newest north American firmware for XS

Yeh I agree it runs real nice.

Is this true? We can flash the S firmware? So does that mean we can flash S roms?

No, do not flash Xperia S firmware on your phone it will brick it, due to the differences in the system.

[Q] What kernel or ROM works for my Xperia Play?

Hi everyone, I have a Xperia Play R800a

Really? Nothing happens if I install something build from R800i or any other model?
And the GSM at the begin of the posts, dont gonna leave me without CDMA?
Thanks!
I don't think it matters. I used to have a stock r800at but I installed TrueAncestor v. 1.4b and it changed it to an r800i. I haven't seen any problems in the month I've used it!
Falsh the enhanced version of stock rom .58 and after flashing your r800a will become r800i. Then flash doom kernel through fastboot. Then search for any gingerbread rom and flash through CWM. Thats all.

Yep, they work perfectly in Latin America, just make sure to do a nandroid (full backup) and you should be fine, then you can test every ROM out there with a backup to rely on and roll back if necessary.

[Q] what is the fastest ICS Firmware for Xperia ARC ?

Hi
I have flashed the global ICS firmware for my xperia arc ! i really like it but it is not as smooth as the gingerbread. I know the firmware is full of bloatware and thats why its a bit laggy..
My question is there a ROM (modified firmware) which i can flash to make the ics run smoothly and faster on my arc ??
Try Arconium.

Till Now Generic Global World Firmware is BEST.
Cm7 only
AOKP! But needs unlocked bootloader..

I'm using the World Generic 4.04 stock rom, and find it occasionally locks up and crashes, I do like the feel and style of ICS but dont think its been perfected for the Arc yet, if I could unlock my bootloader i'd try other roms, so its between ICS or Gingerbread for me

AOKP & sirkey'a kernel, enough said and definitely worth getting your bootloader unlocked

You may flash any international firmware unless you have a specific carrier for your cell phone service.
You may flash h/i/at to your ion.
Just be sure about where you are and does your carrier needs your phone to be of a specific region or it may void your warranty.:victory:

1.No,Lt28h comes fresh with ICS
2.Yes,you can

I know it personal reference to use GB. You might think again as ICS had a better battery management. Just a thought.
The only thing I missed from GB is the unlock screen sound vibration. Still searching to put it back . Any good lead, anyone?

S1 boot version and ftf

As i've flashed world generic ftf for JB, does it mean that my s1 boot version has changed including my baseband?

but my baseband surely did change no?
I'm getting 2G most of the time only on both .55 firmwares and .200 firmware which makes me guess that my baseband is changed. However is it possible for me to flash an ICS baseband on JB firmware?

I don't think the baseband got changed but I am not too sure about that! You can try flashing ICS baseband but at your own risk!

Looking for Xperia ZL C6503 stock firmware (Generic SG)

As above,
Does anyone have the version of stock firmware for C6503 (Generic SG)?
I currently have the RU/UK version of the phone and would like to flash the generic SG version on it.
Do I need to root the phone in order to flash it?

I think all fimware zl use same fimware , you dont need flash c6503 sg , if you want to flash stock fimware , you can flash it with flash tool and dont need root

Is it? According to this .. they're different?
Mine lacks the original xperia chinese keyboard. And I was told here that I would need to root my phone if i wanted to install the apk
Mine is Malaysia c6502 without LTE.I also want SG c6503 firmware.I hope after flashed SG c6503 I get LTE support.
Sent from my C6502 using xda app-developers app
ZL 6502 version will never get LTE even u flash 6503/6 rom because 6502 dont have supported hardware. In setting yes u have the LTE but in reality u cant have it. Thats why the price differ between 6502 and 6503.
