Hello to all the genious I'm a new member.
I've bought a XPERIA Arc S on the 19th March which is upgradable by default to Android 4.0.2.A.0.62.
I use over 70 apps on my phone in Android 2.3.4 and it gets a bit frozen when i close any application in 2.3.4. Now the matter is i want to upgrade it using Sony Ericsson PC companion. My questions are:
1. Will this perform slower than now if i install Android 4?
2. Will the version 4.0.2.A.0.62 have all the features active if i upgrade via PC Companion?
3. Should i face any problem when installing android 4?
4. Will the "freezing" problem gets solved in the Android 4?
Thanks in advance

What I've observed is you use a lot of apps and that's the reason your phone appears slow.To overcome this problem, I suggest you to use SuperChargerV6.It can make your phone fast.
And about the features, the .42 Rom and .62 Rom hardly have any difference, except that .62 can't be rooted directly(for now).
And unless your bootloader is unlocked, you must have no problems while installing android 4.

I used to use a lot off apps as well. I just reseted my phone and now it is so fast. I just advised you to do the same.
hi i have flashed a rom but my problem is the pc companion now detects my rom as z1 c6903 instead of z1 compact d5503.. now i can't restore or migrate my backup to my newly flashed phone because of different version pc companion wont allow it..
is there a way or what do i need to edit in my rom to set it back to z1 compact d5503.. although the rom is built for this or ported for z1 compact..
i can't post yet to android development thread since i lack post count..
the rom is kitslim evo 3.. please help.
AOSP 5.1 - cm12
Hello.
I have a problem. I have Sony Xperia z1 compact.
It has Multisim card.
1. On stock software it works on CM11. On CM12 - I can't phone, the call is not performed, but calls for me pass. It happens with all versions of CM12.
2. If I install AOSP by FXP Android 5.1 the phone does not accept the SIM card. (SIM card is not inserted)
3. If I return to cm11 SIM card works well.
If it is possible, write me a reply on mail [email protected]
Thank you so much

How to flash ftf without flash tool
I have the latest build and android version and I want to root my phone.
I have searched through the threads and only found root for older versions.
Is there any root available for the latest build and android?
I know I can't "officially" unlock my bootloader but is there a hack to it.. maybe an "unofficial" way?
Build Number: 10.5.1.A.0.292

If there isn't a root method available for the latest FW, consider flashing an older FTF FW (that can be rooted), then rooting, installing recovery, then flashing a stock-based custom rom (that is based on the latest FW... or something close?)
As for bootloader unlock - if your phone says "no" to bootloader unlock allowed, there is currently nothing you can do to unlock the bootloader.

Thanks for the reply.
I was going to do that but thought there might be an easier way out of it. I guess no
In Sony website I don't see my device as supported (C6506) for flash tool, what other methods are there to flash?

I am not quite sure if I understand what you are trying to do... FlashTool by Androxyde is working perfectly with C6506 (this is my phone, and I flashed it many times with no problems whatsoever). I don't know and don't care about official Sony FlashTool; never used it.
As for rooting, to my knowledge, there is no direct method for 283 and newer firmware (but I may be wrong). You need to downgrade your kernel to root. At least, that's what I did. There is detailed info on how to do that here on XDA, you just need to search for it. Here is a quick summary I outlined for someone else before. Guaranteed to work.

Thanks I'll get back to you if it worked or not
Similar problem
I also have this problem.
I have a Xperia ZL C6506 that has a bootloader that cannot be unlocked. (Bootloader unlock allow : No)
I am on 4.4.4 with the 10.5.1.A.0.292 kernel and a perma locked bootloader.
Did anyone find a way? Can I flash a new kernel without bricking my phone since I have a locked bootloader? Just trying to root the phone.
Thanks.
Hi,
I have 3 year old Sony Xperia Z1 Compact, I really love with it capabilities! Last 7 months I unlocked boot, use dual recovery. And used 3 to four roms! Now m on stock pre rooted generic Indian version of. 236 downloaded from xda!
Two issues major are
1. Mirror link doesn't connect at all to my volkswagen (
Gives error on car unit as: device not supported.)
(where as stock z ultra connects in just secs)
2. Also I cannot connect to my Sony tv says error no hdcp is supported ( I had resolved this issue of hdcp long back on my second rom but can't figure out it right now)
Give me solutions,
Also you can suggest a rom with above function working great ( Sony stock roms are welcomed) I want stock zip!

For your problem with your TV this will maybe help: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/help/fix-hdcp-error-miracast-ezcast-screen-t3123560
I had the same problem and after that everything worked.
Maybe it solves your car problem too.
It's easyer to follow this:
Screen mirorring fix for all who unlocked their bootloader, tested and works great:
Just follow this steps:
1: change /system/etc/wfdconfig.xml
<ContentProtection>
<Valid>1</Valid>
to
<ContentProtection>
<Valid>0</Valid>
2. add below line in /system/build.prop
persist.debug.wfd.appmonitoring=1
3. restart the phone
