ICS for GT-P6201?

Hi dudes,
i waited nearly a year for an update. But I see a new ROM on sammobile.com but its for devices P6201XXLPC.
In the description there is no android version number.
My phone is P6201XXLA2 the only one without an ICS update... Anyone tried to use the new ROM?
Or can anyone help me?

I downloaded the Brit version and it worked fine except I couldn't access any US services, like OTA updates or Kies. I just flashed the US ICS and it fixed all that. If you are rooted then you won't get any OTA updates, near as I can tell. I went to this site http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-P6210&pcode=XAR&os=1&type=3#firmware and downloaded the Cellular South 4.0.4 firmware (it's US) and flashed it using Odin and it corrected the issues I had with OTA connectivity and such. Give that a shot and don't hesitate to get ahold of me if you have any questions.

Install a custom ROM with locked bootloader via ClockworthMod!?

Hey guys,
I want to install a custom ROM on my Sony Xperia ray, but I'm a noob in this area. I've rooted the phone by these instructions.
Now, I've installed ClockworthMod with x-Parts and made a backup of my current system.
But now, I don't know how to go on ...
I've downloaded CyanogenMod for Xperia ray from the official website and copied the .zip file to the microSD-card.
Then I've chosen it in CWM, but an error (status 7) occured.
So I tried JJ's hybrid ROM, but always it appears only "update aborted".
The file name of JJ's hybrid ROM contains the words "LockedBL" - that means, I can use it also with a locked bootloader - or not?
But the instructions writes that I have to flash the kernel - and for this, I have to unlock the bootloader :/
But I don't want to unlock the bootloader? Or should I do it?
So my question is: How can I install a custom ROM via ClockworthMod with locked bootloader?
Is that possible?
Thank you very much.
Btw: Sorry for my bad English. I recovered my previous system.

Hallo Leute,
habe mich entschlossen, mal ein Custom ROM auf mein Sony Xperia ray aufzuspielen, bin aber da totaler Anfänger. Das Smartphone ist nach dieser Anleitung gerootet.
Ich habe nun mit x-Parts den ClockworthMod installiert und erstmal ein Backup von meinem bisherigen Zustand angelegt.
Jetzt fange ich an, nicht mehr durchzublicken
Ich habe CyanogenMod für's Xperia ray von der offiziellen Internetseite heruntergeladen und die .zip auf die SD-Karte gezogen. Dann im CWM die Datei ausgewählt, doch dann erscheint ein Fehler ("Status 7").
Als nächstes habe ich JJ's hybrid ROM ausprobiert, doch da erscheint bloß "update aborted" - ohne jegliche Fehlermeldung.
Der Dateiname von JJ's hybrid ROM enthält die Worte "LockedBL" - das heißt ja, ich kann es auch mit einem gesperrten Bootloader verwenden, nicht?
Allerdings schreibt die Anleitung, dass der Kernel geflasht werden muss, wofür doch der Bootloader unlocked werden muss :/
Das möchte ich aber nicht, weil mir das doch irgendwie zuweit geht. Oder lohnt es sich? Hm ...
Also meine Frage: Wie kann ich ein Custom ROM via ClockworthMod ohne entsperrten Bootloader installieren?
Geht das überhaupt?
Vielen, vielen Dank schonmal im voraus.
Btw: Habe es jetzt wieder auf meinen vorherigen Zustand zurückgesetzt.

Hopefully someone else more knowledgeable can chime in but I was under the impression you had to unlock the bootloader regardless.

Thanks for the answer ... I think, you're right. I haven't found another way to install it without unlocking bootloader. So I propably unlock it tomorrow. Do you recommend this?

If you want to install non stock based ROM (CM9/10, AOKP etc) its a must otherwise its entirely up to you.

There are 2 ways this plays:
1 you need a custom kernel, in which case unlocking the bootloader is a must.
2 you need a different kernel, but its a stock kernel. Usually happens when the custom rom is made for a different android version (for example, installing an ics or jb rom, but you have gb). You can flash any OFFICIAL SONY ROM on locked bootloaders with the use of flashtools. Try and update your kernel to the one required by the rom (caution: flashing firmware ereases all data from phone).

@OP Cyanogen Mod can not be installed on a locked bootloader....
it needs a kernel which is provided by the FXP team...which i result in unlocking ur boot loader.
and about JJ hybrid rom..it supports a locked BL...
plz follow proper instructions....and flash it on top of ics.
and make u wipe every thing is CWM...
including-
factory reset
wipe cache
format system
wipe dalvik cache

I am most definitely a noob but have somehow managed to root my xperia sp and install cwm. I was hoping to try some custom roms but have discovered that the bootloader cannot be unlocked. It seems that the only option left is to flash an official sony rom or a rom with a stock kernel. Can you advise me how to flash Jelly Bean 4.3 or ICS using flashtools? And/or how to flash a custom rom with the appropriate stock kernel. I'm asking a lot I suspect - any help much appreciated. Hopefully I will be able offer something back to the forum sometime, although I suspect it might take a while...
Thanks, Andrew

Depending on device .. As per Xperia C has locked bootloader still it has custom roms but ... Kernel stays on what it is for that unlock bootloader is necessary... So if kernel is locked Android version is locked only theming is possible in locked bootloader device.

[Q] GT-P3100 rooten, customrom which way?

Hello guys,
at first I want to say I've reading all related threads and I think being able to do the right things if I would be sure which things.
My problem is that I'm unsure which way I have to use for my device. Pls look at the attached pic and tell my which thread I've to follow and if I have to update before via the ota.
At least for my excuse, I'm from Germany and my english is not as good as it has to be for understanding all posts especially these are written in "online-english".
Kind regards
Andreas.

Root via http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1791193
then you can download ROM Manager To install CWM. Form CWM you can flash every CR you want. You are lucky, 4.0.3 has root without increasing the counter.
Rooten kannst du mit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1791193 danach Holst du dir den ROM Manager aus dem Play Store installierst über diesen das CWM und flashst danach die CR deiner Wahl. Du hast Glück 4.0.3 drauf zu haben, diese Firmware kann man rooten ohne den counter zu erhöhen.

is it possible to port so a rom for the htc one s (s4)?
sorry for my english

Wait or Buy
Wait for ROM or just buy a S3.
The Fanbase and developer is greater on Samsung devices, so these ''ports'' are rare on the One S.
However, this is the reason why you have to wait for this kind of ROM. The developers are cooking ROMs not for only ONE user, the goal is the hole users and owners of the 1S with interests for Custom ROMs.
Btw: Booth ROMs (1S and S3) has pro and contra.
i would decide to use the stock ROM from 1S.

ah okay

Android Car Stereos. Anyone seen the Alpha S700 SmartRadio?

Anyone seen one of these things in the flesh, or its predecessor the Alpha S600?
http://www.icar-tech.de/html/products_s700.php
Looks like the holy grail of car stereos... even has a DAB option... but is it any good? On the face of it it's exactly what I'm looking for, but not sure I want to drop £500 to be a guinea pig!

Here's a youtube video, and apparently Android 4.3 is coming soon to this model. It really does look the business, I am tempted!

I have the s730 since a couple of weeks. I think it's a very similar device, only that there is no hardware buttons. Has anyone of you ever tried somehow to upgrade to Andorid 4.2 / 4.3 or even 4.4? Do any of you know how to backup the preinstalled apps? (FM Radio, DAB + Radio, equalizer, etc.)?

It's not as simple as that, unfortunately... you would need to know the hardware base and compile against it. If however some of the excellent brains in here would give it a go, I'd test it...

Hello! Could you add your experiences with s730 there are very few reviews on internet, is it quick? Stable? Any objection!?
