Develop Bugs

[Q] Anyone working on root?

I'm sure I'm not the only one to notice the empty dev topic. Just curious if anyone has mentioned beginning to work on this project.
I soon will be getting the device my self and I'm keeping a close eye here to see how things unfold.

waitting for this
I plan to replace my Atrix2..ha ha

I'm sure we will see more in the coming weeks.

well has anyone WITH the phone given any attempts? just following some of the other android root attempt threads can at least give devs a jumpstart as to what DOESN'T work....

Didn't the xperia s devs just get root for locked bl? It seems there is an exploit in ics that can be used for root. Does anyone have ics preinstalled on their ion (like say from malaysia or something...) so someone can start on using this method?

Well mot many devs have purchased it... Im also very busy and not very professional or i would start it... So i guess we have to give a month for ppl to show up

I've tried both SuperOneClick and DooMLoRD's method on two different computers with no luck :crying:
It really sucks having this phone and not being able to do anything with it

I wonder if this will work on the ion. Guess it depends on if it needs something from the ICS flash that they are doing on the Xperia S.
Is the ion even out somewhere with ICS...didn't think it had been released yet anywhere with it.

you might be right. I just remember seeing it demoed at xperiablog and thinking it was already released somewhere: http://www.xperiablog.net/2012/06/20/android-4-0-4-officially-demoed-on-the-xperia-ion-video/. I think the vulnerability is innate to android 4.0 (i might be wrong), so I think once an ion with 4.0 is released, we should be able to take advantage of it.
I guess the wait continues. bummer...

I got bored and decided to chat with Sony support to maybe get an update on unlocking the bootloader their way or an update and they said in some countries there's already been an ICS update for it, nothing came up in for anything I searched other than people asking about an update.

I'm fine with 3.7, can only imagine speed, etc of a tweaked version. Other than the bloat I must say Im pretty pleased fellas. Looking forward to getting into it but in the interim theres nothing really bugging me(no pun intended), shouldn't be too bad of a wait.
Another fine machine from Sony far as I'm concerned. earbrain

Nobody has any news? Really getting to me now not having this thing rooted -.-

Install the International fw. It isn't the same thing as having it rooted but at least you get rid of all the bloat and you can use the stock tether.
Sent from my LT28i using xda app-developers app

I haven't really got a use for tethering, two years with a rooted HTC Aria I think I used it twice. The bloatware I can't uninstall doesn't really matter to me either, I don't even notice it since you can customize your app drawer with ADW. I really want root to overclock tbh.

I'm working on it. Trying to see what methods from the Xperia S we can bring over to the ion. Would be easier if I had an ion with an unlockable bootloader (DAMN YOU AT&T). I have my friend at Sony checking with the devs there to see if maybe there might be a way or at least a hint they could give us. It will happen, just gotta be patient.

Agreed highly. None of my phones in the past have been this difficult to unlock and/or root so I'm now trying my best to be patient haha. I had a rooted s-off HTC Aria for two years and root access made that phone 100x better so I'm just imagining how much more amazing the Ion will be, ridiculous step up from the Aria.

Spectre51 is correct... It will happen...its just a matter of time is all.
Complete shot in the dark question here... And forgive my ignorance to this phone, as I won't physically have it in hand until tonight... But...
I wonder if someone from the PSP "Modification" scene could help with this?? I understand the differences in the two devices, so please don't flame me...I'm not retarded. LOL.. But what I am getting at is this... Everyone has patterns to their software/firmware... its just a matter of identifying it... Maybe because this phone is Playstation certified...there may be a hidden link somewhere?
I know...this sounds crazy, preposterous, ridiculous, etc... But what if?? IDK...just throwing ideas... I'm gonna try this unsecure kernel thing tonight and see how far I get with it. I'll keep you all posted

Remember the Unsecured kernel is only good for LT28i and not the LT28at, due to being unable to unlock the bootloader for the "at" version.

[Q] Arc "end of life" lol

Hello there

The phone is glitchy because of the crap apps preinstalled by Sony which are eating a lot of ram memory. You can root your device and then remove some useless stuff. Here is a list of removable apps preinstalled by Sony http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671314. Also,can i ask what fw version do you have installed?

It's not the phone fault it's the firmware/software,which update did you install ICS 4.0.4,ICS is very laggy on xperia arc,that's the way it is,it's not problem with the phone.
I have installed on my Xperia Arc fw:ICS 4.0.4 .587,a flashed Ultimate HD 2.0,It's pretty fast,and stable.Gaming runs grate,there are no bloatwares.

But is this all right: did this happen to you: Lag on YouTube and other apps after installing a Fresh Official Stock ICS ??
Should I make a ''scandal'' at Acer Service and claim my fkin money back (because im tired of going back every week to acer: always having a lot of lagg on youtube and other apps and they change 3 times the motherboard and still not workin' good, i want to hear what u say) ?!!
P.S: Thanks for you help pio

I rooted and installed a custom ROM pretty much the day I got my A100 (2 months ago). Never had any lag problems with it and I use Youtube almost daily. Before you throw the tablet back in Acer's face I would suggest going with one of those. Follow the instructions carefully and you shouldn't have any problems.

Yes, I made this before sendin the 5th time to ACER SERVICE
But it's normal to lagg on stock ics by acer after fresh install and fresh new motherboard ?? Shouldn't I make a scandal at those ******s from acer ??
(i don't want to install custom roms !! for me it's a real good option to have my money back)
So should I ''deestory'' acer service and claim my money back ?? this will be the 6th i go to warranty

OK for one, your language is starting to get offensive, i understand your obvious frustration, but some of the names being used aren't necessary.
Second, you obviously dislike the tablet, revert it back to stock ICS and return or sell it and buy an apple product or something newer.
The fun part of android is the custom ROMs, tweaking it to run better, and just playing with it. You don't want that, you want a device that runs like a tegra3 and runs 100% perfect at all times, but want it from an old device with a poor stock kernel and ROM. We've offered some advice, you can take it or leave it, its your choice, of course.
Try custom ROMs, even cm10, it may help your performance issues.
Try a custom kernel, on a stock ROM it may help smooth it out as well.
Stay stock and live with its performance.
Sell/return the a100 and see about getting a different device that does what you want and go with that instead. Be sure to test it heavily for what you want, games, YouTube, whatever you want most.
If its been through that many repairs and performs the same each time, its safe to say you will never be happy on stock with the a100.

Mine did not, but I didn't watch clips with a lot of flashing, that strains any device. Movies with flashing didn't bother it, but that's not YouTube, that's mkv files.

Its been pretty well documented that Acer's implementation of ICS on this tablet was rather lacking, but a few tweaks and a custom kernel later and this thing flies. So you need to ask yourself. Should I sell this tablet or should I try a custom ROM. If you have had the thing for 6 months its pretty unlikely that Acer will give you your money back.

Sleep of Death

I'm root and unlocked bootloader and I want to know if xperia ZL suffers from "Sleep of Death" issue like the Z...and does the fix applied to ZL as well..
Cause my zl kinda suffer from it...after a reboot the phone shut itself..it will stay longer if I connected to a charger but after a long period it will shut it self again...I think it's a software issue cause when in cwm, it doesn't shut down...but I have formatted to factory state and everything stock but the problem still persist...
I'm on latest 2.67 firmware and stock kernel but will relocking the bootloader will save my phone...if not, I'm gonna try to claim warranty and hopping they don't detect I'm already void the warranty even I'm relock again...
Hope someone can help....tq

I think we are to premature to say about issues with root, modified or custom roms because the Zl, Z ,Z1 they are babys come out few mounts ago and all the developers are trying hard to make it fly. I remember my HD2, I get that phone after 2 years of his release and I was flashing tons of roms everyday and I find many powerful and stable roms. So be patient.

as far as i understand, its not because u rooted or unlocked but bcuz of a problem with the battery management syste(BMS).
there appears to be sum fault with battery or the bms, which causes the phone to shutdown.
unfortunately, the only solution is to change the battery. u will have to return ur phone to sony. but to claim warranty, u must unroot and relock the bootloader.
mind you, there is only a small number of phones with this problem.
this same issue happend with my ZL too. i returned and within one week, they returned a brand new phone to me.
mine was fully stock, locked bootloader and unrooted(the previous and the newer too)
new is working awesome.
hope this helps, if it does, u know where the thanks button is!

well it isnt fooling exactly, the thing is if u are giving it to a service centre its most probably because of a hardware issue (softwares u can always correct urself)........so they do not check your software part too rigorously..all they look into is if your phone is not much modified..that you can simply correct by flashing the latest firmware

HAVe you tested to see if your ta is backed up correctly. I was a little too impatient and unlocked my bootloader before knowing anything about ta and drm. Luckily my device is 2 weeks away from being out of warranty, and its been issue free asside from dots in my pics (knock on wood)

Lol i didnt mean it lime that. I usex to work at a wireless carrier here (rogers), and the repair centers were always reluctant to fix anything. They would be so quick to say "water damage" or "physical damage". I dont think they know much abouy root either.
