Yeah, unfortunately it is not the source code yet, just the parts for the emulator and pieces needed for Devs to write apps specifically for the Atrix2.
I wish there was more there for us to use to get this thing cracked open. Hopefully we can get a ROM developer to jump in here soon and help us collect what they need to get started on ROM development. Although we will need someone like Th3ory who is not afraid of making ROMs for devices with locked bootloaders, because I have a feeling it will be after ICS before we have an unlocked bootloader.

An emulator as in a full emulation of our phone? So if one were to try to develop a ROM for this thing could that be used to test rather than risking a brick?

Jim I'm curious. What recovery are you using? Bionic bootstrapper? And is it safe yet? I've read on it a little. Is it one of those things where unless your a bit of a dev not to try it?

@PeteSeiler2010:
Yes this could be used to test a Developed ROM, however until we get a hold of some kind of code for this thing, there can't be too much development of ROMs and such, unless someone knows something I don't. And "code" can be anything from an fxz to the released source code for the Atrix 2 build.
@tylercarter:
For a "Recovery" this is the one you want, link below. And yes it is not 100% yet, but it does what we need it to right now, the only issue is if you crash, you can't get back to it on boot, you have to use the bootstrap to boot into it, from your app drawer. This is again something that can be done after a bootloader unlock. This will allow back up and restores though.

----EDIT----
I use the emulator for a lot of the work I have been doing to see what will happen, without risking a screwup on my phone directly. Then once I have tested it out there, on the phone it goes. You can even test apps from the market as well, just to see. It is really for app developers, to do their testing of the apps they build, but we can also do something similar for our "hacking".

Thanks for info Jim, I am going to download it and check it out and see if there is anything I do with it.
Also, Jim, have you done many restores on your phone? I have been hesitant to try one...its just so risky without the sbf.

Not a FULL restore, but there are others who have tried one of the updates in the bootloader unlock forum, that have been able to restore back to before the update successfully.
I have restored files, and even directories, but not the whole thing yet.

[Q] Problem with rooting Miro - what am I doing wrong?!

First lemme congratulate developers for their hard work and thank them for this site, it's really full of information of any kind regarding any software/hardware problems what-so-ever! Now enough with small talk and kissing the ass: guys I really need help!
As you can all see I'm noobiest of all noobs when it comes to Android so I'm asking for straight forward answer - what am I doing wrong?! Recently I bought Experia Miro and almost instantly realized there's much to learn but I've heard of that famous rooting and got to it like fly on the crap!
I checked almost every thread you guys have and used a simple method of SuperOneClick (step by step explained in thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682) and soon afterwards downloaded SDK (with update packages and all), but it seems that every time I get stuck at step #5 at which point I get that famous "waiting for device" line and then nothing!
So pretty please, with sugar and cherry on top, tell me what am I doing wrong?

forget that! just download "unlockroot" free version software!
run it and click root!

Great app but my rooting status says that bootloader unlock is NOT allowed :crying:

You wanted to root right? That you can do with that software. About bootloader unlocking, you should use the search function.

Not sure where to start from (as I said, I'm more then amateur in Android operations) thus I need some serious help cuzz it seems that my phone drastically declined in performance since rooting....
Even more so, I'd like to know a bit more about some processor overclocking, it seems that 800MHz and 512MB RAM just won't do the trick
Further more it says that it's not allowed to unlock bootloader and as far as I can see from post made by Sony Experia officials (http: //unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions) I won't be able to flash any custom ROMs nor Kernels?

I think there might be some ways to unlock the bootloader with status no. I don't know how but you should search or ask some developer about that!
About overclocking, you need to install a custom kernel with overclock support, but there isn't any such stable kernel for Miro. Devs still working on it.
I would suggest you to stick with the lockee bootloaders custom roms if you want performance!
Currently im using the gamerz rom and the performance is GOOD!

Thx everyone for trying so hard to help me but great news is that Unlockroot was success, still searching for that ROM tho. So if u got any ideas where to find one that won't f'**k up with performance and is there any way to flash it onto device without unlocked bootloader

It did and I successfully rooted my device (with SuperSU and everything) but it seems I can't unloock bootloader (thus can't flash any ROM into the device).
I tried with SE Bootloader Unlocking (ht tp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1560613) but it's stuck at getting the unlock code (I'm not sure if it's even possibl to fastboot my device)...

Best things? Ive checked in some xda threads, 4.3 is going to be more htc-like, meaning: theres this s-on thing that prevents /system mod. Who knows, maybe all 4.3 devices will need unlocked bootloader just to get proper su root. Too bad for us locked only bootloader devices. Nice, now android wants to copy ios security style. Bye-bye 1-click root, hello again stock lagginess.

Thats the whole point. No more messing around with stock. You want control? Go aosp, along with open source kernel. Im afraid 4.3 may be going this way. Just checked official viper4android xda thread and theyre still investigating this. Just look at stock vs custom kernel. Yes, its got higher benchmark, but, can it really play HD games without some graphic glitches, or some black screen only issue? It seems that android now wants to protect typical users from messing around with su powers again.

oh my gosh
i only hope ( if WE get 4.3 ) that the security thing is better and we can play more powerful games.
the profile thing like in windows is not so important ..
sure u can use the phone with other guys at work or something like this. but the normal user dont share the phone with others..
everybody has his/her own phone.
( i think that this function is on windows pc not more longer useful too - companys uses the company version of windows. and THERE can be this function still exist.)
my mind ..
its too much stuff that the normal user not use. maybe a few develops but must will delete those functions in their ROMs to make it smart as possible

Not me. Google is the cruel one. Look at ics. They gave us mtp so they can kill mass storage mode. Then its the internal memory thingy. After that, FUSE type filesystem where /data and /storage/sdcard0 share the same size and location to kill vold.fstab mods. Now, this security thing. Lets just hope when 4.3 really gone official, su and everything su related will work like always.

Do we really need forum here?

Guys wat is this...????for discussing official updates and stocks things do we really need a forum for us????
Wat crappy locks will this phone has and let we break those bricks first then will build all....
Things that developed for xperia L so far....
No proper Cwm recovery like other phones
No proper tweaked custom rom
No cm roms
No easy flushable mods
Only experts will use customization and if other tries will landup in bootloader or some error which is because of we didn't have basic things for customization properly...
Still people are fighting for official updates and scolding Sony...
Come on guys we really have to work hard to get things....
Please devs working on this try to get the basic things first because only experts can flash and install things now and that is the situation here...
We need proper Cwm recovery and nandroid backup, flash method first (should be simple like on other phones)
Guys this is my suggestion and I worked hard and got basic things to work properly for grand quattro and those guys are enjoying my roms and ports, tweaks etc which is lack here since so many months....so considering basic things first will improve the development of Xl otherwise we will stuck here itself...
So please discuss the flaws so far wat we have and how to get those...
This thread is for guys who really put their ideas forward for development on xperia L...thanks for reading this and dont just read this.

Guys please don't make this thread to die and everybody should post their ideas here....and all words are important here and now for development of Xl....

From what i read,we need proper kernel for CM.Now devs wait for sony to release 4.2 kernel sources and then they will port it to CAF base kernel.After that we will have CM and all the development will start,like porting miui and ubuntu touch.
Don't know what you mean for CWM and what expert things are needed to flash some .zip's,but I'm using vengeance kernel and all work correct. If you mean CWM for locket bootloader,then you need to know that they try to make it,but there is an bug in kernel and CWM is unusable for LB.

Don't know for nandroid backup (but I'm sure its working),will test it for you tonight and report.
Sony phones don't have stock recovery and we need to include it in kernel ramdisk(or for LB in system).So all the custom kernels got CWM recovery buildin.And on your question "Yes" after you unlock your phone you just need to download custom kernel that you like and flash it on your phone.Then when the phone start you only need to press volume down key and you will go to CWM(you know what to do after that ).
How i see you are new to sony,so i will tell you how to flash a custom kernel.
You got two ways:
Manual with fastboot
And Flashtool(recommended for new users)
First way you will need fastboot drivers(there are some .zip's that include only fastboot drivers other way is to install all the SDK)
On windows you will need to open command prompt and need to navigate to fastboot drivers,like "cd C:\fastboot".You will need to paste boot.img in the folder with the drivers (C:\fastboot).Then you only need to tipe in command prompt this "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and in 2-3 seconds flash will finish.
Second way with flashtool is simpler and for that i recommend it.
Download and install flashtool,then go to C:\Flashtool\Drivert and install drivers that you need(if you dont have them).After that just open flashtool,click on the "thunder" icon and chose "Fastboot mode".Then click on "Select kernel to flash" find your kernel and click "ok".After 2-3 seconds you will see the log that tells you flash was Successful.

I think that this is against the XDA rules...

At least research a little before you start posting such rants. We do not have the level of devs that can produce the stuff on their own(like S2's devs wrote drivers from scratch after Samsung denied to go open source with Exynos), I didn't expect anything when buying Xperia L, I've been in big communities like Galaxy S2, owned it for a year. And we bought Sony's phone, we have to be reliant on them to provide sources, 4.2.2's first build is just out, I don't think Sony will release kernel sources until they release a bug-free build, and the Devs who're up for CM wouldn't want to develop CM10 just to please you for a week or two then start CM10.1 when Sony releases kernel sources.
And it's not hard to unlock a bootloader and install Kernels. This is my first sony device, I know how easy it is in Samsungs, and Samsung attracts a lot of customers in India, more than Sony, so the development has to be more, you can't compare the development of two devices. This is just a pathetic thread. It just shows that you *expect* the devs here to work for said phone, let me tell you, this is a free society, it's upto devs whether they want to work or not.
We have forums because there were numerous requests in the new forum for device thread (Or whatever it is called). You bought the phone, that is it. It isn't the responsibility of the devs here to provide you with the goods you want to see.
And please, write in proper coherent English, it's flashing not flushing. Sony's all devices have locked bootloader, should've researched before buying.

Then why don't you develop something. Stop complaining and do something. It will make us and you happy.
Btw. we have fully working CWM and custom rom. Don't get what is your problem.

Complaining and whining about what your phone does or does not do is NOT WHAT XDA IS ABOUT.

They found a way to get CWM on the phone, but not running custom ROM's with a locked bootloader, so if this could be adapted, it would be cool, but their work has nothing to do with this.

Hey.
The trick is really simple. We load cm ramdisk by patching any script which is executed by init. For example /system/bin/nfc_check.
However there's one catch. Since we can't change the core zimage, the stock zimage should be compatible with cm android version. 4.1.2 = cm10 in case of Xperia S. Thus it is safe to assume that cm10.1 can be booted on L. Only thing we've to worry about are the graphic drivers. Infact, Sony 8255 device kernels could run stock, cm9, cm10, cm10.1. Android sdk version was determined by busybox GREP and ramdisk was loaded accordingly.
I'll let you know when I chalk out my plans.
