I updated my XJ and i see that multitasking is much better than before! The system is much smooth

wait untill the cache partition builds up

I have to say also that this update is so far much better.
Antutu is able to perform complete benchmarking (3D crashed and the result was 3000 and something), and the result is 4464. Much better than before. Also 2 or 3 more widgets, and I have nothing to complain so far... Only that there isn't yet a rooting method without unlocking bootloader.

ftf please

please update more.
can i know why after i flash TFT using flashtool ,, i cant repair my phone using SEUS ??
it say phone has been modified.
how to fix ??
must install clean TFT ??

It was faster and easier than I thought...Uploading now to my dropbox public folder. Will put the link here when done, but only for a couple of hours, because I don't want my account blocked for too much traffic. Then someone please put it in those share links where you can download all you want.

In the meanwhile, can someone explain to me why with my X10 mini pro I had a smal ftf file (Kernel) and a large rom file, and the ftf for these phones is 400 MB?? I suspect this is not JUST the kernel... I think I saw small FTF files for this phone, and also these large files. Guess the large are for unlocked bootloaders, flash all at once...?

No OTA update this time?

Those small .ftf is custom made. The big ones, especially from update service blob_fs folder, contains all the stuff to flash. A clean, untouched, unrooted .ftf can be bigger than 400mb. Too bad, samsung users cant make their own odin files. Your x10mini rom might come with instructions like this: flash this .ftf via flash. Throw the .zip in microsd. Boot to cwm and flash the .zip. Thats why the .ftf is so small.

I had a bit of trouble uploading this, and I used a Mega account I have.
I think this is the proper way to share files publically.
https://mega.co.nz/#!CYAVWDzZ!IUb7R1S_QIsIKAtBHJgQtEAqAGsZeqEbIQeErlbYUow
And also in attachement is the log from my flashtool.
Is this it?
You can be the first ever to thank me.
I'm not breaking any laws here, am I...? I think these FTF files don't "suffer" from copyright issues...

I got the update too.
I just installed it and I'm waiting for it to finish!
Sadly it wasn't OTA which means I still can't root ICS and update OTA to this one .
Edit// Feels the same to me...I didn't have any problems with the lag before so it seems to move the same.

I would really like that someone found a rooting exploit for this fw. Missing my titanium explorer to remove All the crappy apps that come with the phone.

See if you have 2 or 3 more widgets with favorite contacts, and I think 3D is much better. Benchmark with antutu to verify that. I had 3000 and something befor, due to 3D. Now I have 4464.
What I really think is a flaw is the bottom led not lighting up with notifications, only if I put the screen on. I already have the app to solve that issue, but it should be embedd in the phone...

[HOW-TO] Changing/recovering baseband after updating to custom rom.

When i flashed my friend's XPERIA J (JLO) to MIUI from official JB .32 i faced with no network/gsm problem.
Then I do a small research and read that I must install custom rom on ICS fw only.
There's actually a way to recover gsm without downrading and doing stuff from begining
Pre's:
- You need UNLOCKED bootloader to change baseband[ ! ]
OPTION 1:
- Download official ICS fw (such as for ex. ST26i_11.0.A.7.5_CE.ftf)
- Open up flashtool
- Connect device in flashmode ([vol -] + [usb])
- Select directory where you have ics fw
- Exclude the flashing parameters like below to flash only baseband:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
- Click flash and wait
- Now you have to fastboot flash again boot.img of desired rom and/or rom.
- Reboot device and wait again to boot-up.
- Done, you should have gsm.
OPTION2:
! only for ST26i !
- Download baseband only package witch I created here
- Flash via flashtool in flashmode
- Flash again rom's boot.img and/or whoole rom.
- Wipe
- Reboot device
- Done
OK, i hope it will be usefull in any kind
Regards.

nvm

So, I'm using CM 10, will this work on changing the baseband? Since my baseband is stated "Unknown."

what does changing baseband do.?
sory..am a noob..!

Baseband is a part of rom wich depend on gsm connections, it needs to be updated for newer roms witch you can do the way I described to jump directly to latest customs without messing with flashing whole firmware

I have Tipo SS
It did not work for me

Thanks a ton for the info. It worked for me.

I think the best way is to flash ics firmware .75 and wait that rom boot up ,then you turn off phone and flash boot.img. Just flashing baseband will take time that rom set up... if rom isnt setted up that means when you will enter to cwm and go flashing cm10,phone will just reboot...

-Sorry, I dont have C1504 so I dont know it will work or not.
-You dont need to unlock bootloader. This method works without unlocking bootloader.

Hello guys, I am from HTC Explorer community. We are currently developing an ION kernel and everything except Camera is working. For Camera, we need a JB compatible liboemcamera.so library file. While searching I found that Xperia E also uses a 3.15MP camera sensor and comes with JB. So, their is a high probably that its liboemcamera.so may support our 3.15MP camera sensor too. Can someone please upload just the liboemcamera.so file present in your ROM ? Thanks

That's probally cause you've either rooted your phone or your bootloader is unlocked.
So you're gonna have to flash an ftf.

I don't understand your English properly, but I'll try to cooperate. Look if you want to 'update' like I said earlier, flash an ftf. (the latest version) it seems you've unlocked your bootloaders and I doubt you know how to relock it.

how do you downgrade from .16 to .13?

*Download wmshua
*Download ftf file of 16.0.B.2.13
*Install Sony PC Companion
*Switch Off your mobile phone and get the Original USB Cable pf your device
*Open Wmshua and then Connect your device to PC pressing the Volume Down Key
*As Soon as connected Wmshua will install device drivers (taking about a minute), then go to "Flash" option and select the ftf file from there. And click on Start. It will take about 10 minutes or maybe more to flash the file. Wait Till It Completes.
*Now your device is ready on 16.0.B.2.13
(If you are having problem with the language of wmshua the go to C:\Program Files(X86)\完美刷机 then rename the folder "language" to "language_x" language will become English)

Version
It upgrades just the interface to kitkat? Or it does actually upgrades the Android version? And what about the kernel?

According to the op, it is still 4.2.2, so just the interface and some apps as mentioned.
Maybe the title should be changed to reflect the fact that this is just "kitkat look & feel" It is certainly misleading.
One doubt though, what about the storage? Specifically the method to increase the device memory by reducing the internal storage.

Can't an actual ROM update be done? I would surely donate and suport it in any way I could

http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/
This adress gives a code for unlocking the bootloader. If someone agrees with avoiding his warranty, would it be possible to develop an actual kitkat ROM?

nice work!

If you update to 16.0.B.2.16 after installing the ROM then system will be restored to Stock 16.0.B.2.16 System.

Developing an actual KitKat is not possible as we do not have the Source Code for that unfortunately.

No, the ROM works on both Locked and Unlocked bootloader devices.

It will never be possible, then?

Unfortunately you are right because we don't have the source code to make an real update and also we don't have a supporting firmware.
If someone wants to make an actual KitKat update then he/she has to start from making the firmware then making the ROM.... that would be a very time consuming and also would need experts.

Can't it be made using a rom of a phone with simmilar specs? How developers usually make roms of phones that don't have the official updates? I want to start learning to develop, soon. I just need to finnish college, so i'll have a little more time.
