Once again JB .211 wifi region issue - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

HI all
i know this issue was discussed many times, but i want an update please :angel:
Acro S and Xperia S users who upgraded to JB .211 and are located in Syria or Iran are unable to user Wifi while having SIM inside the mobile.
solutions was to: 1- remove the SIM and use wifi
2- restart the mobile and turn on air plane mode
3- jailbreak and restart the mobile and use market enabler to change region and use wifi for a little bit then repeat this operation
I have stock JB .211 with jailbreak and i am happy with it (camera is good with HD video, nice speed, etc..)
is there any solution for this issue please (a software, or a new ROM or tweak)
thank you all for help

In Iran WIFI works fine after upgrading to .211.
Did you wipe your xperia during the upgrade of .210 to ,211 ?

[Q] [RQST] Rooting in R800i 2.3.4 Xperia Play

Hello Guys,
I´m a newbie on this particular forum and after a huge research I found a lot of information but nothing related to this.
My phone is an xperia play R800i [unfortunately running only in 2G mode due that the ICE operator in Costa Rica only runs at 850MHz 3G ]
I´m not a Linux savy person and yesterday one of my peers helped me yesterday while we were at work in doing several things.
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.ORIGINAL Setup-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
R800i with:
Android Version: 2.3.3
Kernel: 2.6.32.9-perf
build number: 4.0.A.2.368
BASEBANd: 8x55A-AAABQMAZM-20302204-36
Locked bootloader and phone was SIM unlocked (it was from Swisscom)
No Root on this.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.--
Steps my peer did:
- Unlocked the bootloader. (he did it in a matter of seconds)
- installed the R800I world version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1043630
--- The following happened:
- Constant messages that Android Crashed.
- No SIM being recognized / no signal from SIM chips.
----Troubleshoot: I did a phone restore and that fixed the Android issues, although the camera crashed constantly and no storage card was recognized.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
2nd test:
My peer then downloaded a new firmware which is the following:
4.01.A.0.283 (please see captures) and is super stable although I lost root access.. never used the feature and I seriously want to remove games such as Sim, etc...
Battery life is awesome and Xloud, Cam, everything works like a charm!.
Is there a possibility that someone points me out to a video tutorial in order to root this great device R800i and have super user access?.
I love the firmware but if someone is kindly enough to have a video for this version it would be most than useful
google; how to root 2.3.4 xperia

Thank you folks, although I was looking for a video tutorial since I Landed via google in your threads... Just wanted some more graphic guide

OMG!!! Buddy thank you!!!!!!
Thanks!!
Guys, what a great forum!.
I was able to root with "DooMLoRD_v1_ROOT-zergRush-busybox"
I´m so glad about this app, I have removed the the Sims3 and Fifa 10 hehe..
Now, what can I do next? I have 2 questions... (although just I´ll be digging more the internet..) and I even installed the Titanium Backup ;-)
1. How can I remove all the "ads" after I install something?.
2. Is there a way to download using "torre..ts" and install the APK´s for games without having the "warning" message that reports that my app is not authorized by gameloft hehe.. ?
3. Any Themes for xperia play (although I´ll search on this one)
Thank you again pals!!!! most appreciated!,

1. AdFree https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bigtincan.android.adfree&hl=sv
2. No idea. And I don't support piracy so I won't help you there. These things are cheap anyway.
3. Not much. There are a few in the themes forum that can be flashed. If you want different themes I suggest using another launcher.

[Q] MooDeD ICS ROM v.5.5 / xUltimate v7.5 Engine

Yesterday I changed to 4.0.3 ROM (MooDeD ICS ROM v.5.5 / xUltimate v7.5 Engine) and it works really fine.
My question is how can I change, is it possible to change the MAC-Address for wireless LAN? My wife and me, we both have an ARC. I don't know why, but the ROM changed the MAC-Address of both phones to the same address. So now it's not possible for us to use both phones in the same Network.
Whatsapp or google talk is not working when both are connected to the router.
Is there someone who could help me?
Thanks in advance!
have u checked the post section of that rom? maybe you'll find the awnser there
still found nothing .. now we're fighting for the wireless LAN ... the looser has to use the mobile phone connection (EDGE) ... so not really fast

You can flash custom Roms that solve this problem. There is also some settings you can play with in the GPS menu.
With advanced GPS it works much better
On many bada 2.0 firmwares the GPS is broken and just doesn't work, the reason it seems to work when you turn AGPS on sometimes is because it simply uses network location instead(with some exceptions), but I've been unable to even get it that far most of the time, you'll probably have to try the custom firmwares as has been suggested, because stock firmwares tend to keep removing settings modifications when rebooting.
Other option is bada 1.2

Though Navigation is very slow in the WAVE (bada 1.2 and bada 2.0), it works. You need only patience at the first instance.
The custom firmwares make no difference and so not recommended as a solution, except you are willing to use Network services (which cost money) to navigate.
SOLUTION: The best solution is to verify that you are using the correct firmware for your region (for correct network settings).
Most importantly, cross-check your setting to make sure that Navigation appears under Application Profiles (without which you may never get a GPS fix).
Check like this: Menu => Setting => Network => Application Profiles => Navigation (+ your network name).
If Navigation is missing from the setting, or exists without any network name, please verfiy your Network setting. And obviously you will be able to navigate.
Best of luck.

Thank you for your reply.
I am already using custom firmware. It is based on Chinese firware with miner changes and Urdu language is included in it.
Can you suggest some good custom Firmware with support for Urdu language. OR suggest some change in settings.
I have already followed following settings but in vain

You can try Elite Rom v2.0.
Urdu is supported in this version.
I have flashed my set with Elite ROM (released 16-04-2012) but GPS is still not working without gprs.
Any other trick to catch sattelite signals. Can anyone explain settings with *#7092463*#
flash mean not by kies?
