So I updated my stock Acro S to Jellybean a couple weeks ago and have a few problems. Basically, everything is slow, it only uses the stock dialer to make and receive calls, sometimes apps hang when opening and wifi may be disconnecting more often.
Years ago I was unlocking my windows mobile phones and flashing ROMs so I have a rough idea of the process. But so many years have gone by and I just don't have the time to get into all of that again. Therefore I am looking for someone to do the following:
Recommend a stable, good ROM that I am not going to have to update i a months time.
Give me the links I need for all files that will be needed in the process.
Give me step by step instructions including what I need to backup.
And if I need support (I am quite technically capable and shouldn't need any) answer some questions.
In return for this I will paypal you $50.
PM me if interested.
Well use the latest ICS rom first,because it is the most stable with Sony features...you should probably found the ftf file in here...do some search...look for the ftf file of your phone with the build number in ny screenshot
And then,backup your file or any necessary thing using Sony backup and restore application...or titanium backip if you have any
Then flash the ftf file using flashtool (make sure you install driver for your phone),connect yout phone in flashmode and flash the file
And no need to pay me,I only help my fellow ion brothers aka Acro S and S and SL :3

Hi,
I appreciate the help you are offering, and I don't mean to belittle it in anyway. But...I'm super busy these days and just have too much going on to look for flash tools and various files. That is why I offered the money. I know I could figure this all out if I sat down and did the research, I just don't have the time.
The thing is, I need it all laid out and simple.
I thank you again for taking the time to help me for free.
For anyone else still interested, the offer stands.
Have you tried custom ROMs. I'm currently using Trinity ROM and its very smooth less bloatware and it's optional if you want to update it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2318292
Backup your apps and data, using titanium backup(playstore).
Wipe data, Flash the zip via recovery.
Restore.
Done.
with all the terms you laid out bro, i think you need someone that's physically there holding your phone or at least someone that you can leave your phone to for say about 2 hours just so they can do all the tweaks needed for your phone to be stable

Just registered as am a bit of a lurker and couldn't find any definite info on this.
I have used to have a Galaxy Mini GT-S5570 with a stock 2.3.5 rooted and no cwm
This phone got bricked after running Rom manager and using the advised option stating to flash cwm...
Anyway that turned out to be a hard brick and Jig didn't help and JTag wasn't worth the money for this phone..
Now I know this question is asked alot and there alot of topics but none seem to ensure that my version wont get bricked if I use this app (not a noob here just want to know If can use this without bricking my phone)
Currently using CM7 (7.2.0-cooper) with CWM (5.0.2.6) installed on a standard rooted sim unlocked EU Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830 phone
After loading ROM manager its asking me to instal CWM which I have already done..Rom manager was pre-installed btw where Im getting a little worried to proceed as this is where my last phone got bricked..Right after clicking ok and allowing root access
Any help would be appreciated and let me know if you need any more info on my phone
Also another quick question is there are rooter apk (there so many i dont know which one is the latest or best one to use) that will root any android or at least most phones for my friends (they aren't really tech friendly)?
i wouldnt use rom manager with any samsung or at all tbh now
but it will probably brick your phone again so id say its not safe at all
and its always easier to flash a root zip to root your handset
ROM Manager is well known for causing Hard Bricks and it will probably do it with your Ace. Why you still want to use it?

Many users has a bricked Ace because of Rom Manager. I read somewhere that the one came with official CM7 can work but I havent tried. I dont want to risk my phone And I think that you should NOT try it for the safe of your Ace
DK
ROM Manager Can Be Used Without Problem AS LONG AS U DONT USE IT TO FLASH RECOVERY!
I wouldnt use it if I were you, its just not worth the risk..

There are stickies about it in almost every section. Please read them before posting. Thanks for cooperation.
First of all I'm sorry if ever I'm on the wrong section. This will be kinda of a long one, but please do hear me out. So, here it goes.
I've recently read a topic about dual-booting (arc&play supported) by DoomLord. So, upon reading it with the utmost interest its like I've been given a little hope with my play. Shortafter I accidentaly passed by one of DoomLord's thread about(donating for continued development for the play.) I missed the chance to donate because the posts were like back on the month of October. But, if I've read that post earlier? I would really have donated for the project. I can't pm DoomLord about this because he ignores generic pm's. So.. here I am, very desperate, so I've started this thread.
I know and I've read a lot of thread about this kernel thing, for now we can only flash kernel through fastboot. And yeah that's my problem I can't fastboot/flash or use flashtool anymore.(I know It's not just me, but there are some other play users out there too who got a problem like mine.) And now DoomLord is back? I know this is too much work but He's back with an xperia play he can do more awesome stuffs than before! So it hit me, will he do/try a kernel changer thing without using the fastboot method? So, basically he's my only hope.( I think for now.)
Oh yeah, why I can't fastboot/flash mode?
My phone was like outdated for 4 months now leaving my kernel to the old fxp 126-128 kernel I think. Because my play's micro-usb port was like half-dead now(didn't know what caused it, but it can charge on wall electricity but is not recognized by computers/laptop even with different usb ports/cable, reinstalled drivers, re-flash rom, no- nothing. Luckily I'm stuck on a kernel with CWM(i can still flash .zip files though.) I can still make my phone go in a flash mode(green light) and fastboot mode(blue light) It will be on those mode but computer wont recognize neither flashtool(in flashtool phone status disconnected.)

I had unlocked my bootloader and set up my Xperia s with CM 9.1. As there were a lot of irregularities I wanted to revert Xperia s back to stock so I used the repair function from PC companion. Though everything seems to be back to normal but the facebook Timescape, download music info and I also think that the BE is not working (according to XDAians) but do find difference in videos and photos with BE enabled.
I would like my Xperia s back to stock with everything working like out of the box, no rooting no deodexing! Please help!
This is the current state of my mobile if it helps in helping me :-

I would suggest reflashing with flashtool, download a stock firmware first ofcourse.
Its really easy and straightforward.

flash stock rom and relocked your bootloader or relocked bootloader update via sus.
for timescape - theres already a fix for that on themes and apps section
for download music info- theres a fix for that on xperia s development section
for BE - i think its still working, cause mines working
I don't understand your first question can you be more precise?
And that timescape fix worked
And the download music info thing is for the rooted phones mine is unrooted and i want to keep it that way!

I don't understand your first question can you be more precise? - you said that you want to have rom out of the box so i said flash via flashtool or upgrade via sus (sony update service)
And that timescape fix worked - good
And the download music info thing is for the rooted phones mine is unrooted and i want to keep it that way! - but you cant have working download music info unless youre rooted, so make your choice.and i think you can uninstall superuser or supersu after that.
Ohk now i got everything working without root!

Just want to say this my first time rooting a device etc, this is pretty new to me. So I followed the steps in this thread to root my totally stock Sprint LGOG ZV9. I rooted with no problem. No I just want to know do I need to backup my current config, what software would I use. Also was the boot loader unlocked. I Just want to make sure that I do exactly what is supposed to be done correctly. Are there custom roms for lgog currently.
Just an image showing phone was rooted

I am assuming this software was installed when I rooted the phone
Phone firmware info
Oh just figured Id show some great 4g speeds I get from Sprint at my house !! These speeds are very consistent at my house and you can see there isnt anu WIFI on just my Sprint Data. I am moving in the next month or so though. Its crazy where internet speed has come in the last 10 years.
4.1.2 Jelly Bean has been released for this phone now, I'd start by getting that. check out the LGOG development forums to flash a stock version of it or I think Lifeless ROM also has Jelly Bean incorporated now.

After rooting you can choose to unlock your bootloader to flash better code or custom roms to your device, or download and run apps that would require root like root explorer or setcpu to change how your device works.
Unlocking is a whole different ballgame. It allows to flash custom kernels and roms. Like spatel said, 4.1.2 is out and if you unlock and flash TWRP or CWM, you can make a backup of your current phone system, data, efs, cache and then flash 4.1.2 to your phone to see if you like it or not. You can flash the new ZVB radio and possibly improve your signal. It all depends on what your comfortable with. Also, it depends on your interests and whether you're into theming or developing and rooting is just one of those precursors.
Currently there are a few roms based on stock but some AOSP roms will follow now that some source is available to developers. From what I understand, the efs contains important device info and is currently breaking with AOSP roms attempts but I'm sure the devs are making progress on it. If anything check the threads and stickies for a lot more info. There's a wealth of info out there and Google is your friend lol

Well first of all I installed a custom rom (OmniRom 4.4) it had bugs cuz it's still new rom so I went back to stock after success installation I reboot my phone but the phone became a bell (I have rogers) so because it was late I thought I'll change the csc next day but early in the morning my brother installed the stock firmware again because of bloatwares well while he was installing he checked efs box and the repartition too
not 5 minutes after he waz done I saw what he did and since then I tried almost everything and looking everywhere I have even the twrp backup but the twrp can't find it becomes there is something wrong with internal memory
I installed titanium backup to restore my (tibu)
It did install nothing changed
I'm hopeless
Sorry for that spelling I'm using Taptalk lol
Can you use Odin to flash back to stock 100% and go from there? It looks like you definitely need to get back to stock firmware and your description is a little confusing as to what your brother did with...Odin?..that's a guess because you didn't state what he was doing exactly
