I've got the HTC bee... And from what I've it's the same thing as the buzz...
I was wondering if any one knows a way to convert it to the buzz... I know the radio won't work... But I just want to use it on wifi...
Any one have ideas for me to try?
We have nothing to fear but running out of beer
I'm sure I'm not the only one to notice the empty dev topic. Just curious if anyone has mentioned beginning to work on this project.
I soon will be getting the device my self and I'm keeping a close eye here to see how things unfold.
waitting for this
I plan to replace my Atrix2..ha ha
I'm sure we will see more in the coming weeks.

well has anyone WITH the phone given any attempts? just following some of the other android root attempt threads can at least give devs a jumpstart as to what DOESN'T work....
Didn't the xperia s devs just get root for locked bl? It seems there is an exploit in ics that can be used for root. Does anyone have ics preinstalled on their ion (like say from malaysia or something...) so someone can start on using this method?

Well mot many devs have purchased it... Im also very busy and not very professional or i would start it... So i guess we have to give a month for ppl to show up

I've tried both SuperOneClick and DooMLoRD's method on two different computers with no luck :crying:
It really sucks having this phone and not being able to do anything with it

I wonder if this will work on the ion. Guess it depends on if it needs something from the ICS flash that they are doing on the Xperia S.
Is the ion even out somewhere with ICS...didn't think it had been released yet anywhere with it.

you might be right. I just remember seeing it demoed at xperiablog and thinking it was already released somewhere: http://www.xperiablog.net/2012/06/20/android-4-0-4-officially-demoed-on-the-xperia-ion-video/. I think the vulnerability is innate to android 4.0 (i might be wrong), so I think once an ion with 4.0 is released, we should be able to take advantage of it.
I guess the wait continues. bummer...

I got bored and decided to chat with Sony support to maybe get an update on unlocking the bootloader their way or an update and they said in some countries there's already been an ICS update for it, nothing came up in for anything I searched other than people asking about an update.
I'm fine with 3.7, can only imagine speed, etc of a tweaked version. Other than the bloat I must say Im pretty pleased fellas. Looking forward to getting into it but in the interim theres nothing really bugging me(no pun intended), shouldn't be too bad of a wait.
Another fine machine from Sony far as I'm concerned. earbrain

Certainly not going to risk a brick or anything unnecessary until there are sufficient means available. eb

Nobody has any news? Really getting to me now not having this thing rooted -.-
Install the International fw. It isn't the same thing as having it rooted but at least you get rid of all the bloat and you can use the stock tether.

I haven't really got a use for tethering, two years with a rooted HTC Aria I think I used it twice. The bloatware I can't uninstall doesn't really matter to me either, I don't even notice it since you can customize your app drawer with ADW. I really want root to overclock tbh.

I'm working on it. Trying to see what methods from the Xperia S we can bring over to the ion. Would be easier if I had an ion with an unlockable bootloader (DAMN YOU AT&T). I have my friend at Sony checking with the devs there to see if maybe there might be a way or at least a hint they could give us. It will happen, just gotta be patient.

Agreed highly. None of my phones in the past have been this difficult to unlock and/or root so I'm now trying my best to be patient haha. I had a rooted s-off HTC Aria for two years and root access made that phone 100x better so I'm just imagining how much more amazing the Ion will be, ridiculous step up from the Aria.
Spectre51 is correct... It will happen...its just a matter of time is all.
Complete shot in the dark question here... And forgive my ignorance to this phone, as I won't physically have it in hand until tonight... But...
I wonder if someone from the PSP "Modification" scene could help with this?? I understand the differences in the two devices, so please don't flame me...I'm not retarded. LOL.. But what I am getting at is this... Everyone has patterns to their software/firmware... its just a matter of identifying it... Maybe because this phone is Playstation certified...there may be a hidden link somewhere?
I know...this sounds crazy, preposterous, ridiculous, etc... But what if?? IDK...just throwing ideas... I'm gonna try this unsecure kernel thing tonight and see how far I get with it. I'll keep you all posted

Remember the Unsecured kernel is only good for LT28i and not the LT28at, due to being unable to unlock the bootloader for the "at" version.
Does anyone at all have any firm news on anything coming the UKs way to try and fix these bugs in ICS?
You know what i would even take speculation if i thought it would give me a glimmer of hope that Sony UK have not forgotten us.
Totally Forgotten.
i agree need an update my phone sometimes freezes
i see you can root on the moto 360
what would be the purpose of rooting this? i know the purpose in phones but not this
can someone fill me in
