So i just bought a refurbished Sony Xperia Ion from eBay. The seller said it was unlocked, but i haven't tested yet since Its at&t and so is my provider. Anywhoo, I would like to Flash CM10 to it but, I can't find any somewhat simple instructions on how to root it first. The boot loader is also locked. Also I'm somewhat new to rooting, I was a previous jailbreaker before i switched to android (I still love both operating systems). I guess you could say had some practice when i had my Galaxy s4. Any links or just a written instructions would be a great help. Thanks!

And I would also suggest you to deodex your rom after rooting and installing cwm. Only then you can apply all themes to your ion

Enable usb debugging in developer options in settings. Install proper adb drivers. Download the zip. Extract it to a folder and then run that batch file from there. You will be asked to press enter to proceed. Make sure you have unknown sources enabled in your settings. If you follow all the steps it will definitely work. Drivers are generally headache. Generally the install automatically by pc companion and software update service app by Sony or you can download from the site of adb drivers.

oh finally found it ^^ it was disabled after it crashed and i had to re-enable it by holding down the BACK button for few seconds ....
Flashbarservice.
Multi window toggle was introduced in 4.1.2 and looks like you don't have it.
Greece didn't receive dll7 yet so I would strongly recommend you to update asap to dll7 or newer rom. Flash a rom of some other country it wouldn't matter much. ..

Im trying to boot backtrack 5 on my i747. I got all the files on by when I type "sh bootbt" I get an error. I took a screen shot and ill post it on here as well. Also, what things on it will work? Will any cracking stuff work or am I wasting my time?

Do you have VNC viewer app installed?

And unless things have changed since last time I've tried, you won't be able to use your WiFi in monitor mode. So backtrack will be pretty much useless but everything else works.

This app will guide you through the installation of backtrack on your phone.

But remember this is more an emulation than an installation.

Yea. If you want it for wifi cracking it's not gonna do anything since our modems can't use promiscuous mode. Check out the xda thread on the app posted above you. The dev will get you up and running it's pretty easy to get up

Yes, I do have VNC.
And thank you guys. Im looking into the app right now. And yea, I did see something about that you must have WiFi. Idc. Im just doing it for the experience and enjoyment.

Just got my phone back from sonic and had him put it back to stock... software number 1.10.605.8... Which root, unlock, s off method do I need to use?! Htcdev or rumrunner?! Thanks in advance

If Sonic did his java card magic, you are s-off. Search this forum using the exact words from your question and those exact threads regarding root, OTA updates and how to unlock without HTCdev. Great threads and easy!

I started with a 100% stock phone direct from Verizon. It had the 1.10.605.8 on it. Before I planed to use rumrunner I let it do the system update to 1.10.605.10 and so that is the version of rumrunner I downloaded and used. The post above mine has the links that I used.
Hi
I'm in android 4,3 that's mean my bootloader is locked i cant downgrade, so my question is there's other way to get the msl code?
Thank you
Yes. . Root the phone. Then forgot a thing called spc utility. It worked the same for me.

Hey hello!
In start I want to apologize all of you for mistakes in my message (If are).
Last week i got xperia arc s from my friend cause he have problem with that phone.
He told me, when he tried to update from 2.3.4 gingerBread to 4.0.4 Ice cream sandwitch by Phone updater in settings, phone has turned off and nothing was showed on the screen. I tried to turn on the phone, but only reaction is little vibrate when I hold power and menu buttons a lot of time.
Holding only power button don't give reaction.
So I tried to restore software by Update Service (licenced software to update/restore software from sony), but that program told me The phone have installed the newest software.
I downloaded flashtool and flash arc s using no-branded roms. I flashed 2.3.4 and 4.0.4 but it gave me no effect. I have second xperia arc s in home (my brother's phone) I tried to change battery but battery is ok.
Do you have any idea what can i do to revive that phone?
