You can but data won't work...if only we had a gsm converter like the cm9 fix. It would be great.

Well if thats not the cats meow lol that stinks i found that on certian roms i can use them as a back up and keep my data and wifi think that would work?

Lifes rough for r800x users...in the likes of roms. There are a few that work on locked bootloaders.

I found 3 that work i am currently using gbtweaked but i seen a darkforest rom for my phone tried to install And got stuck in a bootloop made me mad lol so i reflashed back to 2.3.3 and had to reroot and reinstall my cwm recovery
Sent from my R800x using xda app-developers app

Did you try to install from sd option. I remember flashing that ROM. Its nice but full of bloat. Just don't format system.

I tried cwm wiped cache and dalvik bootloop cleared all three bootloop and tried with just a backup bootloop so i dont know. Really confused
Sent from my R800x using xda app-developers app

Well gbtweaked is a nan backup. So in order to get it to work. Go into recovery and wipe data, cache, & dalvik then go to backup and restore. Click restore then choose the gbtweaked zip. Let it restore then reboot. You will have to reinstall recovery.

I have gbtweaked as i am sending this to you lol i really wanna try darkforest tho lol oh well guess im stuck with what i have lol
Sent from my R800x using xda app-developers app

Most r800x roms locked bootloaders are in a nandroid backup form. Because of where the recovery is located.

So would doing a back up of darkforest work?
Sent from my R800x using xda app-developers app

Yea I realized after I replied. What version did you try (darkforest) was it the 3.0.5? Thats the one you want to try.
R800x-unlocked/AOKP m6

And use the restore option in cwm?
Sent from my R800x using xda app-developers app

It was 3.1.0 i tried i will look for thag version and try it thanks a million my friend
Sent from my R800x using xda app-developers app

No I that one you have to install from sd. Only clear cache & dalvik before you install. It should bring up the aroma installer. Make sure to uncheck all gsm options.

I will try thag tonight when i get home from work dont think half hour is nuff time to try if it bootloops lol

Had a feeling that's what I'll have to do. It's a case of dumping the UK 2.3.4 into my firmwares on the latest flash tool right?
No worries, I luckily had a back up from before I flashed the hack. I found it was more trouble than it's worth sadly.
Are you using 2.3.4? If so the dalvik hack wont work well
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk
Just delete the script from /system/etc/init.d/
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk
I'm using link2sd and wonder if I ever update to 2.3.4 if it will be a problem too. I haven't yet even figured out if I would have to update via pc or are there other options? Will I have to reroot or will it be kept? If the root goes will all the links etc break for my apps on the second sd partition?

Are there any simple plain proper English-language guides on how to unroot properly? I've tried installing the stock ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1364740, and my phone is as rooted as ever.
For that matter, can I and should I uninstall clockworkmod recovery? If so, how?

Let me guess.. you used the darkside cache wipe. That's the only way to break CWM. Flash this.

Its TWRP 2.3.0.0. It should lock up when it says installation complete. When it does just hold down the power button and reset your phone and boot back into TWRP instead of CWM. FOR THE LAST TIME PEOPLE STOP USING WIPE SCRIPTS.

[Q] Why do I always get bootloops?

Hi everyone,
I am new to flashing and rooting. I have rooted my Xperia S using bin4ry method (locked bootloader). I found CWM for locked bootloaders which use a .bat file to flash CWM.
I always get a bootloop by using that CWM. I got bootloop once, then I restored using flashtool. I gave a second try and I got bootloop again!!!! I got extremely annoyed. I was trying to install a flashable zip mod of Xperia T small apps.
I have wiped dalvik cache before every time I flashed. No luck.
Can anybody help me out?
Maybe the mod isn't for your system Version?

I don't think this can be done with a locked bootloader.
Is your bootloader unlockable?

You should not give advice like this without reading the post.. He said he had a locked bootloader if he followed your comments he would have probably bricked his phone:crying:
With a locked bootloader this would not brick your phone it would not install I tried this when I had a locked bootloader and my it said on my computer I needed a unlocked bootloader and left the phone stock it wouldn't of bricked it
