Both PCC* and Flashtool are viable options to flash ICS.

that flash took you completly back to stock so no more root access and all the bloatware has been added...is the flash to android 2.3.3 or 2.3.4????

Well I ask this because 2.3.4 is unrootable unless you flash a pre-rooted kernel so if your BL is unlocked then flash a pre-rooted kernel and install CWM recovery then install your prefered ICS ROM or I would suggest JB then flash their kernel and you should be good

Sig is his signature.... Look under his comment it says ROM slimbeam v3 and the kernel he is using

Ooh, sorry my bad, thanks
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app

I dont understand why u say "i'm using STOCK ICS"... what is STOCK ICS? Since Xperia Play never had an OFFICIAL STOCK ICS.
Anyway if u are having problem, probably u have Markphyton rom.
Advice: if u want a perfect ICS rom stable with 100% touchpad, use CM9.1

This is simple, just flash This 2.3.4 enhanced version, turn on USB debugging mode, then use SuperOneClick or flashtool to root it.

[Q] On Screen buttoons on xperia s or sl for official 4.1.2 (how?)

Hi everybody !
i just updated my xperia sl from 4.0.4 to 4.1.2 ! I want to use on screen buttons rather than its default capacitive buttons.
how can i do that ?
I think its not possible without rooting so is there any idea to root the latest official ROM of sony xperia s or sl ?
thanks in advance !

Yes it would be great, but as I searched the web currently there is not root for Xperia S JB yet. Keep waiting devs won't make us wait for a long time

Just add this to your build.prop at the end -
Code:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
Save it and reboot. It works 100%, I tested it myself

Well Doom has clearly stated that this rom can be flashed on locked bootloader too. All he needs right now is stock ics with CWM installed and then he can flash the rom
Plus cwm is available even for locked bootloader now

But CWM is not fully working. And it's outdated version.

Yes, u r exactly right, before updating via SUS, to install pre-rooted JB, I had tried with installed CWM(locked bootloader, stock ICS 4.0.4) downloading that ROM but CWM didn't work properly. Isn't there any other way to get root acess till now @ 6.2.B.0.200 (locked bootloader)?

I added 'qemu.hw.mainkeys=0' at the end of build.prop, everything is fine but when I open camera, the on screen buttons almost covers the camera buttons. What can I do? Is there any idea? It's really annoying. I had attached the screenshot.
Thanks on advance.
