Hi.
Let's start by making it clear that I have NO IDEA what to do.
All I want to do is update my Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 from android 1.6 to 2.1
I've searched around the forum for hours and read many tutorials on rooting, flashing, debranding, unlocking, custom ROMS, firmwares, generic global something, etc. It's like reading an other language. Sure, they say "step by step" or "noobs guide to ___", but that still doesn't help. Like I said, I have no idea what to do at all. Let's pretend I'm someone who hasn't even heard of updating android...
So far all I know is that I have an X10 from USA, ATT branded. The 2.1 update was "released during Q4", but apparently not for everyone. I tried doing the software update from the phone, but it won't work. That's what tells me that I have to do some sort of "hacking" to get 2.1.
If anyone has a guide (that will actually help me) or will tell me ACTUALLY step by step, that would be very much appreciated. If their is anything I left out about my phone, please ask and I'll try to answer. Sorry, I don't have any money to give you... But you can have a cookie
Have you tried the se update service? There are 3 ways to download updates, via the phone, through the pc companion and with the update service which you can download from the SE home.

Actually I forgot to mention that. Yes, I have tried both. All it ended up doing is reinstalling my phone with no apps.
Hello friends,
I'm new to this forum and also to Android phones just have a rough idea about it. Now I've just bought a new SE LWW and upgraded to Android 4.0.4 from 2.3.4 using Sony PC Companion. But when I opened bluetooth tab for the first and tried to change the Device name I was unable because I was not able to see any tab of "Change Device Name" (I've turned ON Bluetooth), so anyone can please explain me how can I change Bluetooth Device name?
And also What are the benefits of Rooting? Should I root my phone (I've fear of Bricking)? If yes how should I root my SE LWW Android-4.0.4? Also can I unroot my phone back? How? Also please give every detail in brief! Hope so the members will help me to the extent.
Thanks,
Charizard.
Somebody please help me!:crying::crying:
Try asking Google?? Or look around forums maybe even ask somone who is in the Sony forums they more likely to know

Don't try to root if warranty matters to you. Also remember that a failed rooting effort can brick your device. Rooting benefits are:
Installing root specific apps
Installing clockwork recovery mod
Changing OS and ROM of your device.

I have lww too my friend.
For rename Bluetooth in 4.0.4 you have to go to settings and Bluetooth and touch menu ( that's a touchable button near home button in down of you phone ) and now you can see : Rename my Device ! Enjoy !
.......
But about rooting.
You must downgrade ( by flashtools ) your phone to 2.3 and root it and now again upgrade to 4.0.4 and now you can root this phone.
You can root your phone by flashtools.
Download it ( flashtools )
You can install custom rom by it....
And do very things! And enjoy...

Thanks a lot saeed74 but i think I should not root!!!
That very not true..
U will void a warranty on a sony by unlocking the bootloader..as u got to do it officially and they have the info in their server. Rooting however, would not as they won't know if u ever did it. Just flash it with stock rom before sending it.
2011 Xperia has some limitations than can only be solve by root.
1)link2sd to solve the low internet memory
2)swap, to maybe help with the low ram
3)uninstalling bloatware
4) install 2012 Xperias apps like walkman
Xtra reason
1) stop seeing advertisement
2) use vpn to safe some data quota
3)

I have posted on here before but no-one bothered to answer so I'm posting again.
I need to know how to root my Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc LT15i. I have the ICS 4.0.4 standard SE issue installed with a locked bootloader. I have followed several tutorials on this site and ended up having a phone that keeps crashing after starting up.
1. Where is the ROMs required to install before rooting?
2. Where is the tool to root this phone?
3. Where is the latest ROM for ICS?
Also, clear instructions would be appreciated - please don't direct me to another forum topic because that didn't help at all.
google or search

Hi mate, I've done it few days ago because I wanted to install Ultimate HD rom... just follow next page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1854415
I got a Xperia J for my son.
In first the phone was easy to use.
Now it is as slow as a phone of 4 years old.
I am looking for a rom that makes the phone faster and maby pretyer to look at.
If i am looking in the sections of the roms i don't know with one i must pick.This because i never flashed a phone before.
That means i don't know if i can go into recovery right away. Maby i must do something before i can do that??
Can someone help me by telling me how to flash my phone with a new rom and off course with rom to choose.
This because i don't know with one.Not every rom is compatible with the J.
Thanks for your time to help this beginner/noob hahahaha
1. Factory reset + clear all
2. Just do root
3. Boost my xperia + pimp my rom
Do this 3 first. If still slow, then unlock bootloader and find rom.
Sony Xperia Tipo ST21i
Can you tell me how i must do a root?
I can't find the right way.
Sorry but i am new at this.
You can use unlockroot, or ishuaji_root, or 360
shouji root. Only unlockroot is in english, the others are in chinese. You can also just search inside xda for the other method.

Before you flash a custom Rom I would like to recommend that you try this and see how it works : https://www.box.com/s/6oe7hg5yfweb642ovk86 . Just install it, place the phone on a flat and stable surface( like a table) and calibrate.
It worked like magic for me. I had serious problems with the lag and after I tried this little apk everything works flawless. I don't even recognize my J.

It's a simple touch screen calibration app.
Try it and see if it's what you are looking for.
It doesnt work a lot on my J.
So i think i must install a custom rom.
But with one is simpel to install?
I have NEVER done a root of flash a rom.
If someone can tell me or hase a howto please let me know.
Also if you know what a good working rom (without bugs) is , also let me know!
I'm also a newbie,but in Sony phones recovery does not come pre installed.you will have to install CWM for that..since xperia j is an old model,there would be many options for you...think of rooting and installing clock workmod(CWM).and from there u can do something...
Thank me if I helped you..
Hello XDA,
So a few days ago, I rooted my Xperia Tipo st21i using King Root
(http://www.kingroot.net)
My reason for rooting was to install a custom ROM, which I knew would speed up my phone and offer more customisation options.
So I followed some tutorials on Youtube, I got CWM installed, but didn't unlock boot loader.
First I backed up using Titanium, and I have the backup on my iMac
I used these tutorials:
Install Rom: https://youtu.be/sG1NClM9aeA
CWM Install:https://youtu.be/0MjdHbAcAgM
As instructed in the first tutorial I put the zip of Super Jelly Bean 8.0 on my device and used CWM to install.
But... I didn't wipe
And it bricked...
I've tried the rubber band trick as mentioned here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-j-e/help/xperia-tipo-wont-help-t2510628
My phone always shows a black screen even when I hold power for 3 seconds and I can't find help anywhere.
Thanks for feedback!
