[Q] xperia s - ROM that doesnt need unlocked bootloader... - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

dose such a ROM exist?
I did the service mode check and it seems i cant unlock the bootloader.
Ive also tried using flashtool, but i always get a "device not in debugging mode" message, even though the box is ticked.
currently running stock 4.1.2, but the phone is still a bit sluggish after a while...was hoping a nice new ROM would make it a bit snappier, but struggling here!
Any advice is welcome
Cheers,
TG

Yes, there are such roms. Search development forums for [LB] mark in thread title or read description. Roms that can be flashed on locked bootloaders are based on stock roms.

Here it is dude:

Im on a locked bootloader and im using it.. If u need any help pm me

Basically 95% of stock based ROMs (Trinity and eXistenZ being the most famous, and the later my favorite) works on locked bootloader.

GUYS! Thank you all!
I didnt understand the [UB] prefix, now I get it!
So...how do these perform against the stock ROM? Is there a genuine difference? I used to instal custom ROMs just to be a rebel, but the mrs is complaining that her phone is slow etc so I want to make it good for her
Thanks again!

LOL I made a mistake up there. You need to look for [LB] as in Locked Bootloader, not [UB]. I just realised that. LOL what a stupid typo.

Want an advice ? From one LB to another.... Check my Signature!
That is the best ROM for Locked Bootloaders!!!

Hi nrdl,
I took your advice, looks like a really good ROM! But I'm struggling to get root, never mind even install it!
I started a thread here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2531490
Could you see if you can help please? I'm desperate to install that now

have not come across any roms with tablet mode but if you want a good rom with great battery life is either the one by Team PKMN or Villain Rom. but seriously though it is about how you use your phone and how you set it up and what kernel you use...not the rom specifically...i go for the normal sense roms but people have said that if you use a no-sense version rom your battery gets improved
thanks for reply
Hey,
Thanks for reply, I guess I gotta wait for tablet mode. Hehe.
See I had galaxy note before and I had tablet mode and ics stunner.
I'm gonna look at those roms you suggested and see which I like better, I reckon I may be better with a Rom without sense, I'm not really using the integration side of it anyway.

download the boot.img of the rom of your choice for to your pc.
then enter your phone in bootloader. make sure the phone is connected to the pc.
enter bootloader mode and go into fastboot.
then command window and enter this command"fastboot flash boot boot.img"
once it says ok then come out and go into recovery
make sure you do clean wipe
flash rom
reboot
enjoy
make sure you make a backup first. then make sure you have the rom file on your phone and the boot.img of the rom on your pc. follow my steps and you should be fine
hehe think you owe me few thanks
just messing if you need anything else just let me know mate

Thanks to team carbon for original rom to port from.
THIS IS IN TESTING PHASE ONLY. DO NOT USE UNLESS YOU ARE WILLING TO TEST AND REPORT ANY ERRORS.
If I helped in anyway hit thanks
Do not comment if your bootloader is unlocked seeing as how this will work no matter what with an unlocked bootloader. The whole point of this is to get aosp running on LOCKED BOOTLOADER.
Also for those who can UNLOCK or already have UNLOCKED bootloaders. Please keep your boot loader LOCKED or RELOCK your bootloader for testing this out only please.
So far we are stuck at carbon logo boot loop. Lets all work together to get this working
got it put together but so far stuck with boot loop any help? followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1908008

Not nessarily. I had an old Droid 3 with CM9/10/10.1 all running on the stock Gingerbread kernel (2.x.x.x). The problem is that alot of things will be broken, and everything will need a workaround (ie. Camera running through HW tiler instead of using kernel; crappy cam). You could always try and do a diff of what's different between 4.2 and 4.3, but alot can easily change. And you don't necessarily know if a certain feature is built on a kernel feature that isn't in 4.2's kernel. I wish there was a way for us to flash a kernel via Flashtool using custom FTFs, by unlocking the bootloader à la Xperia Play Testpoint method.
ok gonna just do a 4.2 port then instead. make things easier anyone know how to change the name of the thread since im op?
Edit your op post and then click advanced option you'll see the thread name on top

Dragonhawk, I would strongly suggest you contact Hackitz, that guy is really smart, got me out of a few holes with my rom. Our devices are nothing like HTC or Crapsung, sorry,Sambung, whatever.
I would help you but I would probably only make things worse, hehe.
If you want, PM me the build.prop and updater-script, maybe I can find something you missed.
I'll be glad to help with whatever I can.

As far as I read I need to sim unlock it with pin test I think. So as for now I can't do nothing... Unless U know other way around it

[Q] Problems with Stock ROM, and recommendations for a non-android User.

Hello Everyone!
First of all I want to say that this is not directly help for me, but for my girlfriend. I dont know you guys, but she is tired of her stock ROM since it freezes a lot of times, and yes, I have checked it, I tried updating, hardreset...etc and after a week the phone gets a lot of performance issues.
So my question is, I would like a modified ROM from the official last update if it exist, I mean that everything is working on the phone and it is of course faster than stock phone. This is not a questions "which is the best" nope, I just want to hear your reccommendations because I am not a user of this phone and I dont know very well all different versions etc. Furthermore I have read a lot on the forums, and i have a small idea what could work for this case.
for example:
Since this is a mod from a Stock ROm, It shoudnt has any problem, Isnt it?

My big concern is that Im not the user of the phone, and you now what happens with "users" if something is not working...

You can use WinDroid 2.0 toolkit. If u want good ROM... Ignorance is really good but try something from higher shelf HTCdroid. It's the best ROM for HTC One V! The smoothest and the fastest. But a lot of ROMs has one issue. Data usage doesn't work... Why? I don't know I'm working on it but here is one ROM what haven't got it it's MoDaCo.one Ir2 here it works. But it's outdated so use newer ROM like Ignorance!

Im starting the process, man this stock ROM gives problems even while sync contacts
If you are tired of sense shpongle is the way to go. If you are okay with it, pick htcdroid. Both best in its classes. Htcdroid seems bugless or only minor bugs visible while shpongle got camera dead - you need 3rd party apk.

It's not any more complicated. Don't worry about odex and stuff. Just stay in the development threads here and flash what you like. Not trying to be mean here but these types of threads are not necessary. Just make a nandroid and flash away and see what best fits your needs. Each rom is subject to opinion. I use slimfast and have had no issues with it.

I keep asking questions, and you give me other replies rather than answers... If might be straightforward and easy for you. and maybe screwing around with a $350 phone is no issue for you.. but me.. not so much.
"In theory you should be fine if you do dirty flash from another 4.3 rom such as DN3 v1.0 or SN10
We recommend TWRP 2.6.3.1 to flash this rom.
You need 4.3 boot loader.
Have both TWRP and latest CWM on your external SD Card along with Ditto Note 3.1.1
Flash TWRP 2.6.3.1, go into Wipe and slide to do the Factory Reset."
This is not straight forward to me.. since I have no idea if I have a 4.3 bootloader - says I HAVE TO HAVE ONE.
TWRP is at 2.7 now .. is there a reason he says to use 2.6.3.1??? on a rom that was updated 3 days ago??
These are the things that bother me.. I am not interested in bricking my phone.
If you dont want to help.. fine, But explanations for the terms used above are not coming up in searches, unless I want to read a ton of threads.. so I thought someone might answer for me.

If that's what the developer says to use then use it. I would say he knows why to use 2.6.3.1 but that's not really important. Samsung phones are very hard to brick if you follow the directions. I'm no expert dude, all I do is follow the directions in the OP. If you do that you will be fine. What were you running prior to slim fast? If you're not sure you have the bootloader you can just flash it again.
