R800x on 2.3.2 "SEUS" wont update / SEUS Download Share

Hello everyone,
Im running 2.3.2 on r800x and I found a download source for the Sony Ericsson Update Service (SEUS) posted at end of my post.
Im not able to update to 2.3.3 through this service. I have tried to flash 2.3.2 fullstock .ftf from the State of Development thread, and I didnt re-root or add any mods after the flash. SEUS still says my phone is up to date. It has an option to re-install system incase of problems, I went through the process and I still end up with 2.3.2 .
Is there some way to update r800x with unlocked bootloader to 2.3.3 using SEUS?

SEUS is not supported with the R800x on Vanilla Android.
It hasent been tested using Timescape UI though.

SEUS will still update the r800x firmware. Thus updating the phone. It will download the 2.3.2 firmware and install it on my phone.
If I can find someone who has an r800x on verizon with 2.3.3 , then they can use SEUS and "repair update" and it would download 2.3.3 firmware. You can then decrypt the firmware files with flashtool and make a flashable flashtool file.
Blagus told me all of this, so im sure it would work.

I have a r800x running android 2.3.2 and using a different carrier.
Can i install custom roms on my phone after unlocking the bootloader?
My phone doesn't seem to go into recovery mode.
Any help (at least for recovery mode) will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

You have to install recovery. On the locked bootloader, you can download, install and run Xperia CWM Auto-installer. On the unlocked bootloader, most of the custom kernels have recovery built into them. Read the directions for the version you choose to determine how to enter recovery mode. It is always highly recommended to make a nandroid backup before modifying the rom in any way.

Sorry, i didn't mention that my phone is not going into recovery mode even with Xperia CWM Auto-installer installed from google play. I tried everything from pressing and holding the volume down button to pressing it at intervals. I don't understand is it my phone or am i doing something wrong here?

Try rebooting into recovery from inside the CWM Auto-installer app.

Well, i tried that too
Nothing works for me!
I think it has something to do with the newly replaced files in bin and xbin folder to be associated with a proper owner, in this case it would be busybox. The problem is when i try to change the owner there is no "busybox"name in the list provided.
Also, i have found that when i re-install busybox, i can't change permissions of the files. I have to re-install Xperia CWM auto-installer for just getting owner and/or permission changing rights to these files. Hence, i'm stuck in this cycle! I'll post this in the thread related to Xperia CWM auto-installer too! Let me see if i get any help from the dev himself

Installed deafult busybox from Flashtool and got cwm auto-installer recovery mode working!!
Made a back-up too!!!
Woohoo!!! I'm so happy!! ^_^
ICS, I'm waiting to eat you...........

Here is a link to the r800x 2.3.3 full FTF file should solve your problems
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/31716947/R800x_3.0.1.E.0.88_Verizon.ftf
Since your bootloader is unlocked, to re-root 2.3.3 ( and root 2.3.4 as well ) just boot into recovery and instal the SuperUser.zip
http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip
After flashing this, your phone may want to start downloading the 2.3.4 update, but you can delete the app that manages OTA updates, If you unlocked your bootloader a while back then make sure to contact Alejandissimo so he can perform his new method for OTA updating on unlocked bootloaders, if you do not have his newer method performed then the 2.3.4 OTA will brick your device and you will need Alejandrissimos help no matter what at that point.

216Monster, I had my bootloade unlocked last summer via unlock code and was wondering if the new method you metioned that Alejandrissimo uses would work on my phone to make so I can OTA? Not a bog deal as 2 thins come to mind:
1. I never OTA unless after it gets released and its a must.
2. This is more of a curiosity question......

I do believe it will ! You will need a paper clip and have to setup the testpoint method and your computer will recognize your phone in Zeus Mode, and he will work his magic ! As soon as he logs back onto gtalk I will pm him to confirm 100% for you as well

Well, fyi my bootloader is locked and am using a different carrier. So, I guess I wont be able to flash ICS ftf after its released because it needs different kernel right?
Sorry, if I asked a nub question

[Q] Need help to solve my E988 Secure Booting Error.

My E988 now shows Secure Booting Error when power on. It just won't go any further.

if tlyou waite a minute or two and its stuck on the pg logo then you should try restoring a backup you have made through cwm if you havent made one try a master reset and if that doesnt work then you have to flash the tot file for your phone using the lg flash tool and then reroot and unlock all over again.

Thanks for the prompt response.:good:
It does stuck on lg logo with the error message.
1. I didn't have the CWM backup. So, restoring from CWM is not an option now.
2. What is a master reset ? How to do it?
3. I have the official stock ROM. But, don't know how to connect E988 with lg flash tool.
(Which mode to flash ROM? And, how to enter that mode?)
I am sure that the driver is good. I rooted it with the same pc.
Thanks,

Just use the lg flashing tool to flash a stock firmware on your phone, problem solved

My problem now is how to connect to my Win7 to flash the stock firmware.
I know my E988 has to be in a mode before I connect to USB cable.
But in which mode and how to.
Appreciated if you can provide such info.

I think the kernels that include a recovery that will allow installing aftermarket zip files require an unlocked boot loader..

cant flash kernel
It says
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)

Hi Guys! Good News! Advanced Stock Kernel is now Up! Please proceed to this link to download the file.. if you followed the steps provided from post 1 what you need to do is to copy attached file to internal memory and flash it via recovery.
The EASIEST way is just simply download the file from this post Advanced Stock Kernel Kitkat extract boot.img using Winrar or 7zip to your desired location. Using Flashtool click lightning select Fastboot then select boot.img you just extracted then connect your phone via fastboot, Flash! then Reboot!
note: To completely fix root permissions simply reboot your device to recovery mode then reboot system via recovery it will ask you to fix root just simply navigate to fix and select then it will automatically reboot..

I already unlocked the bootloader, but how I can do the root and install the cwm?
I have 6.2.B.1.96 build, and don't know which guide follow, could you give me link for 2 guides, 1 for root and 1 for cwm that are good for my terminal?
Even if I can put CM11 without root, so if is possible which guide i have to follow?
Sorry for disturb.

Damn, I was doing the "rooting", following your guide (the first), I flashed the first file with flashtool and it worked fine, then when I went to move the folder "DooMLoRD_Easy-rooting-Toolkit_v18_perf-event-exploit" in C:\ and started the "runme_win" forgot to run it as an administrator and because of this or not the dos was stuck, I close the program and open it again as administrator because thought was this, but, when i run again the "runme_win" come out several errors then the procedure finish, the errors are about "Impossible found the path...", I checked even on the phone and i don't have nothing like SuperSu or other... possible solution?
I noticed that the phone number info Build is always 6.2.B.1.96, but if I flashed with "XperiaS_LT26i_6.2.B.0.211_KernelOnly", should change, right?
Help me
N.B:
The first time that i run "runme_win" without rights of administrator, the dos told me: "STARTING,WAITING FOR DEVICE,daemon not runnig, starting it now, daemon started successfully" then stops at this point and you can not do anything but close the program."
While the second time with rights of admministrator: "No such file or directory, is come out different times with several files"
EDIT: I solved, I tried again without administrator rights, I got this errors:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

Yeah, that run as administrator messes up a lot, You have to run it normally. So You got rooted and have a recovery, right?
About the version number, only the kernel number was changed, not Your entire firmware, so the firmware number doesn't change in "About Phone ".

Huh. Weird. You have to press volume up when You see the blue LED while booting. Try pressing it 2-3 times consecutively.
Don't know why I din't mention his earlier, but since You have an unlocked bootloader, You can flash a doomkernel. It has pre-installed recovery and all. DoomKernel

I solved. After the failed installation of CM11 my devices was blocked at LOGO Sony....
I got the firmware .96 and flashed it, after root with toolkit, and CWM the recovery on the phone, then I have installed CM11 and Gapps, all good.
The unique thing, is that, with the Installation of CM11 through CWM recovery, after the CM11 is started, I tried to go in recovery but instead of the CWM recovery there was the TWRP recovery... however all good, the recovery work well as the CWM.
Now im fiding the best rom for the Xperia S, do you have some advice?
I really don't know, and CM11 seems a bit hesitant in routine operations, maybe because is a Beta...
Regards!

Ah good that You got it solved. I would recommend Carbon ROM, but it has some issues going on currently. Try PAC, it is good one, and very stable for now.

Yes, the splash screen works this way. Everything else is the same, including the system R/W issue.

hello
thanks for your informative threads
I'm trying to root a t2 ultra single sim.
starting from scratch, I find your threads very helpful.
can you explain how to extract a kernel tft from an entire tft bundle created with flashtool / decrypt / create?
I can't use the ones you posted as I need the ones for the single sim version.
I created the tft files from experifilm (except the 4.4.2 wich is not on the server anymore, got it off the web)
thanks!

Bro if we flash again the system means we will lost root man....

thanks, great.
I'm asking because I'm following your previous guide for 4.4.3
from the guide, point 4
4. now open flash tool and hit flash button and select 4.4.2.ftf press ok and wait for notification which says connect phone
is ok if I select the whole tft file and in the "EXCLUDE" section of flashtool I exclude ALL except the kernel?
is the same than flashing the single kernel.sin?
because I can't flash the single kernel.sin from flashtool... maybe I just don't know how to do it, yet..
thanks again for your reply, very helpful!

you can use unsigned zip no problem
also if i am not wrong either name of your supersu zip is changed or you are using very old version
so use newer one that might be an issue

Thanks a lot (Y)
It works without any issue.
