i know this seems like a rather stupid question, but ive seen rumours that android is due to get blackberry messenger soon but this is only a speculation and that i havent saw anything official but i just wanted to know abit more information if anyone could help?
Hey Guys,
I am new here. I hope someone can help me. Please forgive me if I am breaking forum rules, haven't got my head around it yet.
Lat week I bought the goophone i5 not realising all of this root stuff. I came across a youtube clip and apparently this model comes rooted out of the factory? Can someone who own one of these confirm?
Also I'm from Australia and need the play store, is this also on it.
I really should have researched things before buying...
I would really appreciate some help.
Thanks
John
I have managed to acquire this amazing phone direct from Japan. Everything is working well - but I was wondering if there is any customisations available for the phone - does anyone have any links to support information? Because it was only released for Japanese markets, it difficult to find much information about the phone. I was looking specifically for:
1. Cases
2. Anti reflective/fingerprint screen protectors
3. Rooting instructions.
Thank you
This phone really is a very Japan-specific phone and you're the first person I've seen on XDA who owns one. As far as I know you can't unlock the bootloaders on Docomo devices, so you're best off trying all possible root exploits and hope one of them works (look at those for the T or TX, they're the same as the SX software-wise, not the S). If you're already on Jelly Bean chances are you're not going to be able to root it. You're probably best off looking on Japanese forums for more information. Chrome with Google Translate should help you get started.
On the accessory part, well, Amazon or eBay will be your best shot. Since the phone is only sold in Japan you can't expect any other store to have anything available...
Good luck, enjoy your phone! It's really one of the best-looking Xperia's there is!

Much more helpful answer ending a positive note. Thanks for that... will see if anyone else able to contribute.
I found this from the 2nd or third result a Google Search for Xperia SX root. BTW, that was published on 2012, so it's not exactly new.
Also, have you tried the other methods, like Bin4ry's or the other one click method that's floating around?
I've moved this thread to the Q&A forum where it should have been created originally.
I've also had a cleanup here.. Let's try and keep things on-topic and friendly henceforth.

Hey, thank you, I have tried this now and the rooting works...
Now just the other questions about cases...
Hahaha, trimmed down to like 4 posts, oh well. About the cases, I think you're definitely gonna have to fire up Google Translate and get ready to spend some yens. You seem to be the only one around here with an XSX, so I doubt you're gonna get much guidance.
Right - if anyone is looking.
1. Rooting - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36014406
2. Anti reflective screen protector - http://www.amazon.co.uk/atFoliX-FX-...=1369603591&sr=1-19&keywords=xperia+sx+screen
I have not come across a decent case yet.
Hope it helps some people.
Hey Folks,
Here's my contribution:
1. Rooting for Current latest ICS firmware (.137):

2. Plastic Cases for Xperia SX (I bought my phone from them, very good service):
http://www.kyoex.com/so-05d-cases-covers/
3. Alternative Cases (Leather cases that Fit the Xperia Sola will be a very good fit for the SX). I love leather sleeves, I bought this from Amazon:

Hope this helps.
Leather Cases!
Hey Folks,
I was searching around the internet for a long time and found that PDair makes leather cases for the SX but supplies it to Japanese companies for distribution.
I sent them an email and now they have added the phone cases to their worldwide shipping website:

Enjoy
The phone comes with screen protector already on. Look and you'll see that is there.
Ok, so I finally got me a device that I intend to stick with as long as I can, that device being a Galaxy Note N7000 (never liked the US versions with all capacitive front buttons, gotta have that physical Home one). Now I'm looking through the case threads and I found one that I absolutely love but of course because I'm like ~2 years late to the party, so to speak, the case isn't made anymore and my chances of actually locating one are somewhere between null and void, perhaps slim to none, zip, zilch, zero, that sort of thing.
But, then again, perhaps someone out there might have one they don't use anymore, or they might just know of a little "hole in the wall" website that has one, who knows, hence me asking. I noticed it in the "Post your Cases Here" thread in a post by another member, dellwole, but he/she apparently hasn't logged in for a very very long time so I doubt reaching out to him/her would prove useful.
This is the case:
It's listed at the original Tridea site as: FLIP Case (Diary style) for GALAXY Note
I know it's a shot in the dark, but it's the best looking case I think I've ever seen (personal opinion there, stand back...) and I really would love to find one if at all possible - I know there are similar ones but I'll put my effort into locating one of these (even used as long as it's in good shape). If anyone has any info that could potentially prove helpful, a finger in the right direction, even a "I know this guy who used to work with a dude that has a cousin who knows Ferris Bueller..." type thing, I'd appreciate hearing about it.
Have fun, always...

easy... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TRIDEA-Ga...t=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item1e6e8d9078 but no brown sadly
Close but no cigar, and yes I'd found that one in my searching.
It's very close but not the same case (different materials, and the enclosure) - I suppose I could get one and then just use a razor to slice off the enclosure piece, it might end up being my only choice unfortunately. And yes, that brown one is precisely what I'll keep looking for, thanks.
The hunt continues...
I've the Elago G4 Handmade Genuine Leather for International Galaxy Note - Folder type.
I suggest you to see..!
thanks
I stumbled across this article and wanted to share it, seems like it could be important but I didn't know where to put it so I chose here. I hope I made a good choice
