Yes, OTAs will soft brick your phone if you've removed system apps. Either freeze them rather than deleting them, then unfreeze before you update, or you can use FlashTool to update

Just uninstall anything you want (personally I've got rid of loads) then when the update comes, flash one of the ft files ( u can get them on here) and update... then wait for root lol dunno if we will have it for ics?

If i get titanium backup, i can backup all system apps, delete them then when needed just restore them? Will that work?

Yep. Just don't format your memory card... you could even backup the titanium back up folder to your PC (just to be sure) its on your SD card

As far as i know, if you remove system apps and try to OTA, it will not soft brick your phone, but the update will fail, i think it's only devices with officialy unlocked bootloaders that get bricked (I may be wrong though so don't take my word for it).
I think you can update with SEUS after removing System apps though. And like that other chap says, you can just take a backup of the apps you remove, and push them back to system before you OTA.

Hello people, I have read this thread and I also have r800i with 2.3.4, just brought recently and am new to rooting. I would like to root and was just wondering is there a step by step guide how to do this using super one click and a link for where to download super one click, or the other method mentioned? Kernel is 2.6.32.9 perf build is 4.0.2.A.0.42 if thats any good to know. Thank you in advance.
Enable USB debugging (settings - application- development and then tick USB debugging box), then press home, plug in to USB to pc, and click "root" on the super one click... wait a min and done!! Hope I helped .
If you need help feel free to pm

You can't flash firmware (FTF) from your phone. You have to use flashtool.

Perhaps be more clear next time too. And you're welcome.

To help gain some clarity, as you've not provided some crucial information:
Do you have root?
Did you actually install CWM?
If you've done both of these you can flash any zip that was made for the LT28. If you're trying to flash a zip for another model it's likely not going to work. I avoid flashing mods, opting instead to install them manually.
All of this is covered in the ion forum if you bothered to reeeeead.
I thought it was a givin that I had root I spose not tho I was pretty clear. The only reason I was a bit curt was because I had "not roms" in brackets.
The zip files im trying to install have to do with the audio player so they are probably more of a driver type thing. My firmware is stock,rooted CWM Rom is not installed I have the CWM app and it says there is no recovery for this phone stock ics rooted locked boot. And yes I have been searching but havent found much useful yet.

You need to connect device to computer for almost all aspects. Root , cwm, mods etc.
You need to solve the pc issue first then look into mods and such.
Also if root you can manually replace the file with root explorer from the extracted zip

You don't need the clockwork app. Just install the cwm found in android development section. Must use a computer. It's as simple as pressing a. Bat file

Type this "cwm recovery for xperia ion" or this "clockwork recovery for xperia ion" in google search and come back and tell us what you found.
Our phones will not boot into recovery from cwm all we really have is flashmode. Yes some zips can be flashed through cwm such as themes and what not from the Xperia s but you need to match mounting points and what not, if you flash a bad zip you may get a boot loop if that's the case just shut the phone off then run flashtool reflash the. Ftf and you'll be fine.

Thread closed before Flamefest.
First off there is no "CWM" app in the app store. Is it actually called x-parts? Where do I get it from?
Yes It's Called X-Part you can downloaded from the playstore and flash CWM and after that reboot into recovery and you can do SD card partietion

What do you mean "flash" CWM? You mean click the "Install CWM" from the X-Part app? I've got the Lt15i I'm not sure if it works for it.

You download X-part installed CWM and rebooted in recovery mode.
Go to advance and there you will find Sd card partition.
Good Luck I hope you Know what you are doing

That's what it says on the screen, safe mode. How do you boot into recovery mode?
If you partition your sdcard your data into sdcard will lost. Try to backup sdcard first

Thanks I actually got it to work, I wasn't making the second partition primary. But still how do I boot in to "recovery mode"? I hold down the volume lower button when I turn on my phone and nothing happens.

It is the back button as soon as you see the Sony logo start pressing if this fails you need to move the recovery.tar to system/bin setting permission like this

Use root explorer to move file and set pemissions.

When sony logo appear, press volume down continously until you entered to recovery mode.
I never using x-part, i always did it with custom kernel. But maybe that is same way.

I do have root so if you could do that, that would be soo helpful.
My bootloader is unlocked, but with that recovery I can flash a rom.
I think the rom i will flash has a kernel + recovery, is that a bad thing?
