So I really want ICS on my Xperia Play but I have no idea how to even start. Could somebody that has done it before either make or point me to some instruction to do it?
i have just absolved this process for the very first time myself...
I found those two links very usefull:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Howto:_Install_the_Android_SDK
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Sony_Ericsson_Xperia_Play:_Full_Update_Guide
further than that...search search search...everything is to be found here in the forums
My guide for CM9 (which is ICS, kinda): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1600833
CM9=ICS beta
but need certain kernel to run
I am currently using build 14.3.A.0.681 on Xperia Z1 Compact. As we all know this iteration has some bugs which I am currently observing. e.g. playing sounds will suddenly disappear and will be playing inside the PHONE INTERNAL SPEAKER (used for call listening), Battery Drains...
I have been thoroughly searching for KitKat 14.3.A.0.757 rooting guide for Xperia Z1 Series but unable to find any on the web. All demand Unlocking bootloader and loading that DOOMLORD tainted ftf file which i Dont want to do... If there is any proper way to make it ROOT without UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER please kindly guide me through as I want the update ASAP. All of the tips and suggestions will be appreciated wholeheartedly...
Thanks to all.....:highfive:

First of all thanks to you for your kind suggestion. For your knowledge, I rooted my current 14.3.A.0.681 Build through this same TUTORIAL and let me tell you why I have some problems there.
1- I dont see anywhere clearly written ROOT your build number 14.3.A.0.757 in this whole tutorial.
2- When I use this FLASHTOOL for some crazy reason it doesn't even show me THE LOCK/UNLOCK ICON as USABLE (non-faded).. Its always faded even the device is turned on and/or in FLASHMODE.
So if you'll be gentle enough to elaborate even more about this tutorial that how can I unlock BOOTLOADER even if I would like to *which I doubt I would* and secondly how to ROOT THE LATEST BUILD 14.3.A.0.757 because I badly want this latest update...
thank you once again.:good:

Hi, ive buy a new phone and i root it and flash recovery, now the next step is to flash a rom that nearly stable for daily use.
Can you suggest what rom is nearly stable??
I see all kitkat rom have issue in random reboot, except Pure AOSP 4.4.3 by billchen1977 but i can't download this, the link (mega) not running the download bar, stuck, i waited 30 mins but not running, second link (mirro) says you need a permission in google drive. If someone suggest me a good KK rom or please provide me a mirror link of pure aosp..
I'm in Saudi Arabia but i im filipino
Thanks in advance
U can download mega app in your phone... Then use that link to import that rom into YOUR mega account then download it to your phone... That's what I usually do..

I need your help...
Hey there!
jd1639 gave me the advice to post my problem in this thread rather than wait for an answer in the xda-assist thread. For not having to write it all again, here is a link to the post I made: http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/xda-assist/unbrick-wiko-rainbow-t3108133 . Seems like noone is able to help me on that issue, but I hope for your knowledge to come up with a solution...
Is it possible to use an update.zip to fix it? Thought of packing the whole stock-rom into a zip-file, rename and install it, and everything would be fine again. Tried to do so, but when I pick the "apply update from sdcard"-option in recovery menu, the system partition is shown instead of the sd card storage, and I don't know how to put the zip onto sys without adb.
If not even a pro like you knows a solution for this, do you think it is still possible to recognize, that I tried to install a custom firmware? Otherwise I could return it to Wiko and hope for a replacement!
Thank you for arguing with my problem by now, please let me know what you think about it.
Regards,
Metal-Moe
@Metal-Moe so let me try to help you..
you have 2 methods:
1.official tool
what you must do? connect your phone and run JB version (it appears v14 on wiko site)..i assume you know how to it.#see below the pictures and minitutorial.
charge your battery to full, this is important!! see if the software recognize your WIKO..run this drivers:https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934554018 and try to connect and reconnect your WIKO in different USB ports after you installed the drivers. (install anyway if appears a security warning)
2.SPFLASHTOOLS-.if doesnt work try the same method but with SP FLASHTOOLS..even in my computer sometimes doesnt recognize when testing developer roms..and i do that ..works for me..you just need to be patient and keep trying..one of the usb ports will work for sure..after it works flash stock JB and see if your IMEI is back..at least have your phone back to life..to restore your IMEI you have many methods..just PM or mention me to have a more faster answer..first lets see if we can bring back your phone from the dead.:good:
note:stock JB makes a folder inside that is SP FLASHABLE like this:

Thanks anyway!
@smokerman: Unfortunately I wasn't able to solve the problem with the possible solutions you'd mentioned, so I brought the bricked phone back to the local store, hoping it wouldn't be returned unrepaired due to guarantee loss. Two weeks later I got it back and it's working fine! But thank you for your effort in helping me anyway!
Now I'll backup the IMEI with MobileUncle before doing anything else!

if you have root and recovery probably you cant update..it will give you a error..but here it is v13 to flash with SP FLASHTOOLS:
v13 appears v8 as i said..this is v13 wiko rainbow firmware uploaded by me from OFFICIAL rom..so even it says v8 you know that this is the correct version..flash it with SP FLASHTOOLS:https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952609461
Hi Guys,
I have a Sony Xperia Z5 Premium which I wish to root.
I've never done it before, could someone please help me.
Model number: E6853
I've tried for six hours today, no lie, and I've made no progress.
You need to install a custom recovery such as twrp, then you can flash either SuperSU or magisk. Before doing this you need to unlock your bootloader. I don't recall the specific details on how I did it for this device, but I'm pretty sure there are guides here.
