Hi all,
After searching the forums for a while I've found no solution to my question .. so I hope this thread won't be a duplicate but if it is, please link me to the original one.
My phone: NTT Docomo Xperia Acro (SO-02C) from Japan
Currently rooted using Gingerbread 2.3
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9.perf
[email protected]#1
Build number: 4.0.1.C.1.9
I wanted to apply the official ICS update that was for the Xperia Arc using the manual method by flashing it in CWD but, because the Xperia Arc is the model below mine there's a few functions that's added on so I'm worried about the compatibility with the hardware after I apply it (if I can).
I checked kernel version and build number for the Japanese Arc (screenshot of system info: http://www.chaoticshore.org/blog/image/screenshot.png )
I noticed the kernel and build number is the same but the rest isn't (because this Arc in the picture is Android 2.3.3, but my Acro is 2.3.4) so the baseband version is also different.
If I attempt to apply the update to my Acro, should ICS still be compatible?
What are the chances of it bricking if I try to flash the ICS rom into my phone?
Also, I'm aware I may lose the dedicated built in functions like infrared transmission & oneSeg.
Thanks!
I feel like I should reply, even though I don't really know the answer. But from what I have heard, arc firmware will not work on the arco. If I was you, I would not try it. Hasn't docomo pushed an ICS update yet?
If not, the best advice, never buy a Japan only phone if you want to mod it!

Do you have the FTF for this phone? I tried the upgrade and it didnt work, now stuck at xperia screen even after ftf the original matched docomo ftf.
I managed to upgrade/flash a combined Lt18i and docomo .9 ics to get an upgraded 4.0.3 android posted the instructions i found on some vietrnamese forum

Doesn't anyone try to root T2 Ultra. Xperia D5322 ?? I've searched all the whole day in google and in XDA forums, however I can't find it. How to root it ? T2 Ultra can unlock bootloader but I'm not sure how to root it, yet. Even no forum for this device in XDA

If your Bootloader can be unlocked - process is same for all Xperia devices.
Go to Sony web or any Doomlord thread and find a link for unlocking bootloader.
Prepare IMEI and proceed to Sony page, you'll receive key in a short period.
But make sure you backup TA partition and you have kernel with recovery to flash...
I mean, if there's no threads, kernels or ROMs - what's the purpose of unlocking it?

hii everyone
as you know kitkat Update(4.4.2) has started for our device
So users with locked bootloaders only
as soon as you get pc companion update
download it and message to convert it into an ftf
Try using SEUS Tool to get new update

Hello, I have rooted my T2 ultra, using vroot, amd hence my bootloader is locked. I did this to enjoy a few of the rooting privileges like using Titanium Backup and few others.
Now in order to download and install the new Kitkat update, once its released, do i have to unroot my phone or can directly attempt to update without unrooting.
Please advise.

Join the club! At this time, you can only have a working recovery on stock LP if your BL is unlocked, and the install steps are rather convoluted (serajr described them in details in another thread). If you have a locked BL, you are out of luck until either [NUT] makes his XZDR working (the issue has been discussed in his thread, and he's aware of it), or some other solution is available...
BTW, I think you meant 5.0.2 (unless you got a brand new update that nobody is aware of)...
P.S.: Actually, I misread serajr's post, sorry... Looks like the recovery on LP is not available even for the unlocked BL. He was only describing the Xposed installation steps, where you use TWRP in the process, but you end up without recovery, anyway...

Yeah, i have bl unlocked, stock 5.0.2, root and xposed, but I only have root and xposed causa I modify the the installation with prf creator
All is good and working fine, but I want the recovery, cause every time that I test something and get bootloop I have to downgrade to 4.4 to install root and recovery so I can flash the modified ROM again
hi everybody,i just bought a z1 compact and allow me some questions cause i m a little confused
1what is the best way to root it and stay with unlock bootloader?
2how can i install custom recovery?
thanks in advance.
Well first of on what firmware are you on? From what I know only v108 KK can be rooted without unlocking bootloader. As for custom recovery look for Nut's recovery for z1c here http://nut.xperia-files.com/

It will probably be on KitKat version. You can follow the guide from here to root KitKat and maintain root on Lollipop.
or use pc companion and update os. After root and install recovery new releases.
