Dear all,
I just bought myself a Galaxy S. It is locked to Bouygues in France and with Android 2.2.
I am totally new to these devices and i would like to unlock it and also to get Android 2.3 on it.
How should i start? (first unlock, then update the ROM, or get a ROM from xda - I used to do that with a Qtek...)
Please advise.
Thanks
Welcome to the SGS forums, I would recommend you read the stickies at the top of this forum first.
If you look in the Apps section I think there is an app that will let you unlock for free (think it's on the android market too).
May I also say welcome, but would also like to point out that this question should be in q & &, please read the forum rules and FAQ's then you will be better equipped to proceed, I hope all goes well

Ubuntu is currently unstable and unsupported on many devices. It's official release is sometime next year. Also, you are not supposed to ask questions about what is being worked on in the development forum. This should go in the general forum. See here for the Dev forum rules. Here for the general forum.
Hi people
Senior Member VASHTA wrote a guide below, which i would also like to thank hm for:
Step by Step Flashing a Custom Rom, from Stock /w auto rooting
For Arc (lt15i) // Unlocked BL | For locked bootloader, try this : Tesla's Guide
Which is a guide for the thread of : [ROM] Xperia Ultimate HD 3.0.2 | Fastest | Xperia Z Theme | OTA | Legendary |
I would like to flash the above system to my phone as the current system is buggy with a number of apps that i use.
On their help they have requested that people do not PM him with questions, which i can understand and respect, but im am confiused over the information in the guide and would like to ask for some clarification,
and it seems that this is about the only place a newbi can really ask a question that may have been answered without getting taken out at dawn to meet Mr Spade at the bottom of the garden!
I would like to make a request.
Could a little clarification be added to the very detailed help guide for flashing Ultimate HD to the Xperia Arc?
My confusion and uncertainty is that you you have made this clear it is fine to use on the LT15i modle, BUT it is not so clear for the Xperia arc s.
And if not for the Arc S, then where can i find the appropriate guide? I understand the diffrence between the Arc and the S modle is the speed of the cpu, will that make a difrence?
My phone is as follows:
Xperia Arc S,
Model LT18i
Android 4.0.3
build of 4.1.A.0.562
rooted
unlocked bootloader
and again, most of the info refers to diffrent android versions and diffrent builds.
It would be of great help, and possibly to more than just me, to those uncertain if a little clarification could be made.
I did read some of the posts in the forum on this rom, but again, as the number of posts is so huge for this topic, it makes trying to find the right information for some one new like me much more difficult. And i did try seaching for the answers but had little joy.
I dont know if what im asking is wrong or that im so stupid ive missed some thing early in the post that explains this.
There are referances to the 'LT18i' version but the replies are not all that clear in their meaning to me, but no mention of software variations i have.
If there is information specific to this model, could some thing be added as a sticky to explain diffrences?
Could any one please clarify this for the phone i have?
With many thanks,
Deedee
Slightly diffrent, why is there so little information or comments made about the Arc 'S' modle, were there so few made? are they unpopular? or are they in all but name identical to the non S modle?
I did ask this querstion about a week ago in >
General discussion > Questions and Answers > [HELP THREAD] Ask ANY Question. Noob Friendly.
but received no respons, so i hope this is not violating a cross posting rule
Of course it is if you've looked around the forum you should already know that it doesn't make any difference at all.

I don't even know how this works. I just want to root my Xperia Mini pro Sk17 using my Windows 8 machine. I have tried all methods, most recently this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1601038, however, there's no 562 kernel for my phone and I can't contact anyone. Can anyone help me?
How it works:
- Understand what rooting is a bit, and why you want to do it in the first place
- Find a root method which is compatible with your device. The link you gave appears to be for an Xperia Arc...
- Google 99% finds the right way first time. If not then search in the correct forum before posting another question. Currently you've posted in the HTC Desire section...we can't really help you here.
This is a wrong section. Try to search/open thread in the Xperia Mini pro section.

I'd say start here, https://forum.xda-developers.com/g-play
Read read read, take 5, then read some more. Then do!
Many guides likely in the guides section, and if you have questions, there's a section for those too!
Good luck! :good:
