Hi all, never posted before but I've been a member for ages.
I flashed my Ignito last night and didn't have a clue about how to do it. Your tutorials are fantastic and you all do really nice work.
I used Swampy's rom as a tester to see if I could do it properly... Love it!
REALLY looking forward to the Idiamond rom (Half the reason I started with the flashing) Didn't know it was just out of beta and not released yet
But anyway, Heads up to Swampy and thanks

welcome back friend
I have been reading the forums for some time now in hopes to someday root one my phones. I started reading about a year ago and finally rooted last week.
Root went great then yesterday I flashed my first Rom and oh crap anything and everything went wrong because I missed one step. Now what??? Read Read Read.
After a lot of reading I found my answers and fixed my phone, I couldn't of done it without you so Thank You for all the walk throughs tips and guides.

You are so welcome
You waited a year before taking the plunge, and you still messed up?? No offense. I just find that rather odd. Not saying anything so don't be mad. We all make mistakes. Take care. =)
I too want to say thanks to all you great gents& Ladies her for your time & patience with this old broad. I haven't been on here for very long but I find that I am way out of my league with you bunch. In a lot of cases trying to read what you reply of post is like trying to read Greek & I can barley read Enlish & I am a Canuck. I have loved my Streak but as I rarely use it anymore for anything more than a phone & the problems it has given me, I have put my sim & SD cards back into my BB and will just use it in my latter years. I may upgrade to a Galaxy but I don't know just now. So anyway I have put the Streak up for sale here in the to sell forum as well as the accesories forum & next week or so I will put it on Ebay, Kikijji or Craigslist. Again thanks for all the advice I have placed this forum into my favorites so I have a place to come to if I need expert electronic advice. Cheers Angela aka fysty-1 Dodds.

Additional Thanks
I would also like to echo my thanks to this site, to everyone behind it and all the contributors and wealth of knowledge that is assembled here. After finally having enough with VZW, I unlocked and rooted my GNEX and it's been absolutely wonderful! THANKS!
Welcome in guys!
I see you have decided to step out of lurking and perhaps become part of the community, that is very noble cause indeed.
Feel free to roam the forums you guys frequent and help other members with questions or issues that you once had, this way we can help perpetuate the greatness of the forum and save developers' time answering things so they spend it developing.
That may be the best way to show your gratitude.
I too want to say Thank you to the xda community!
I've been here for many things, questions, ROM, some help.
Thank you
Agreed! Loving the support for my Galaxy Nexus. All answers seem to be found here
Hey there, i just want to say thank you to everyone who has contribute in this awesome forum.

Hi all,
I too wish to thank the forum's contributors, without them my phone would not be rooted etc...........still it can be a 'daunting task' wading thru the 'info', especially when one does not have any background in this stuff........I literally need step by step instructions....
A Big Thank yous
I bought an Xperia Arc, will arrive on Friday, I would like to receive tips from you, both as root, unlock the bootloader.
And how backing up everything before, or you can, to eventually go back to original ROM.
aaaaa, and what is the best ROM for Xperia Arc, to get it fast , and like simple and beautiful, not with full widgets on homepage, only a simple android. I have ADW Launcher, in another CHINA android phone, and it sounds good, but with a 400mhz processor it is really slow.
Well, thanks guys, and think to get helped, until friday .
If can, please paste links with the correct way to do, like
1 - ROOT
2- Unlock boot
3 - broke phone (joke)
haha, like this. thank guys, im newby in android world. but will study for help you and others in the future.
bye bye.

This link is step by step, and so much noob-friendly, with also video support.
i think you can't find a guide better than this
This forum seems kinda dead now...once the Ion came out this forum thrived for a bit. Sadly no roms or themes
We have CM9 though, which is good news. Though sadly only a handful of us here can actually install it.
Delete
I would delete this post...i made a similar thread about 3 days ago... and people raged so hard. It was slightly funny, but i guess i really hurt someones feelings
so please remove or you will face the wrath of online anger...
Why? Its just disappointing to see that a phone with great potential have rarely any development. I understand that we do have devs here (thanks to all for CWM and other mods and such) but its still disappointing.
I'm hoping that when the Xperia T comes out in more regions that Sony will let us unlock the bootloader (though I'm not holding my breath). Once unlocked I'm pretty sure that things will pick up a lot. Kind of sucks that such a good phone is happered by something so stupid.

Yeah, once we are able to unlock our bootloaders things should definitely pick up. Hope that MIUI develops for the LT28 soon aswell. This lack of customization is killing me.
I guess that's what you guys get for being early adopters and hoping a dev community will spring up. If you want a phone for custom roms and other things you should wait till you are sure there will be developers for the device.
Complaining that there isn't dev for a device you already bought knowing at the time there was not much development is pretty dumb if you ask me.
I for one get a device because I like it as it is. If there is further development for the device after I get it great but that's just a bonus.
Just like buying a phone in hopes of an update is not a wise decision, buying a device hoping their will be development isn't any better.
You also have to remember the.ion wasn't a flagship device or one that was pushed very hard so there would obviously be less interest for the major developers to work on it.

I like the phone aswell, but coming for an Arc with an unlocked bootloader i just miss the customization you know? We can only hope that the ion will get dev attention eventually.

Thing to remember also is the ion is very much the same as the Xperia S with a few small differences so mods for the S shouldn't be too hard to convert to the ion.

Well said - you know what you got - it's your decision buying/sign contract for. So what's there to whine about. Xda is a plus IMO.

Also rather than complain you cam take actionand learn yourself. Android is one of the most open source project since html. There are lots of resources available to learn and I know this because I for one have noticed the lack of developments so I decided to learn.
Also begging for development doesn't help the cause. If you would like resources to learn start with developing simple apps and expand.

If i knew how to develop miui that'd be great...thats all im really hoping for
EDIT: Is there any big differences between the ion and the acro s? Cobrato's just released a method to convert xperia s roms to work with the acro s. Heres the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1914328
EDIT2: Nevermind, doesnt work. Possibly we could figure a method to exploit his conversion to work with our ion?

But without CM9/10, you cannot port Miui.
Now, that Cm9 is out for ION, we can try and port it.
I will give it a try.
Proudly announce that there's a Vietnamese person has released an Rom Cooked name X-Ion Kudo v1 on local forum. Let's search and try
Just checked it out, nothing special. Just a stock rom with various tweaks that i could do myself. I'm really hoping for MIUI to develop for the ion
I have already tried porting MIUI. But I could not go beyond the MIUI Logo.
Since I am on CM9, it is easier for me to keep testing. Hope to get it right soon.:fingers-crossed:

I hope you get some good results!
I think one reason why this phone is lacking devs is that there are too meany of these xperia phones out that are all pretty much the same and with the prices being the same as well. I bought my wife the lt28h due to it having support for what t-mobile calls "4g". With these devices dev will come easier from ports of other similar phones. It is only a matter of time. We the owners of these ION phones have but only three choices 1. Learn to dev 2. sell phone buy one with heavy dev teams 3. Wait for developments. I for one would be happiest with a fully working ics/miui or a ics/ASOP. But I am pretty happy with just the stock rom for now.
We have now CM9, CM 10 and MIUI. Not so bad for a phone that has a locked bootloader in the U.S. and has begun selling in Europe at the same time as the Xperia T.
According to this, aokp Jelly Bean is on the way for unlocked bootloader.

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:

The phone comes with screen protector already on. Look and you'll see that is there.
