I would like to flash the Jelly bean update for the Xperia J on my phone and I wanted to ask which one do you guys suggest?
I would like one that does not have bloatware.
And also could you please provide me with the link?
Thanks!
look in general section and choose the unbranded ftf. or follow the root jb tutorials because you have to flash the jb as a pre rooted zip to have root theres tutorials for locked & unlocked bootloaders

Why would you not want Jelly Bean 4.1?
I think you need to unlock the bootloader, install a custom bootloader, then you can flash a prerooted ROM
My problem in rooting is I have 1.94.631.3
I expect Rogers will not see 4.0.4 for a long time.

Rogers didn't limit us like AT&T did with our southern users. Go to htcdev.com, register and unlock your bootloader. Once complete, you can push TWRP via fasboot to your phone. From there, you can boot into recovery via bootloader and flash a custom ROM that is already rooted for you.

AFAIK, JB is still a work in progress, I think OP is looking for something stable for a DD. You're right about that last part though, Canadian carriers are stupid slow in getting updates pushed to their users.
I read if you go 4.04 you will have setting issues with LTE when you upgrade to 4.1
I also read CynogenMod 10 is pretty stable not too many complaints, daily updates.
If I read right the process where you unlock the bootloader, push TWRP should work with my device too ....
It should not matter I have 1.94.631.3
Maybe I am waiting for nothing.

When stable builds of JB get released, I'm sure the dev community will be able to troubleshoot any issues.
It's only the AT&T version of the HOX that is locked down. All other variants (to my knowledge) are unlockable through htcdev.com. Once you have an unlocked bootloader, you will be able to flash TWRP and then a new ROM.
But I don't want to lost all my setting , apps , msg , ect . ...

Just got my a700 today and enjoy immediately got a notification that the JB update was available. What I would like to know from some of the more knowledgeable members (and almost everyone is more knowledgeable than me) is should I go ahead and install the Acer JB update or should I root, unlock the bootloader and install a custom rom? I. have read that because Acer has not released a certain type of code, that with the stock JB update I will not be able. to root or unlock the bootloader.

I have flashed my a700 to Pawitp's latest CM10 Nightly build. the screen reaction is better than the stock one. And all the stock apps are removed. Nice!! But once my a700 suddenly rebooted, maybe the conflict of apps. All in all i will suggest flashing to the CM10. Sorry for my poor English.
Stock JB ROOT or CM10 ??
Hi,
sorry if I post here but I can't post in Android Development forum.
I could not resist JB OTA when I turned on for the first time my tablet
Now, can I root OTA firmware??!
I unlocked the bootloader and I tried flash CWM recovery, unlock work, but CWM didn't work :/
Can I now flash CM10? How? (back to ICS?)
Sorry for asking too many questions and my poor english
Thanks
Regards,
Lorenzo

Hey,
Your CWM doesn't work, as it's for the ICS Bootloader. They (Germans) have a CWM for JB, but.... due to issues in the past with some early CWM's, a lot are a little afraid to use it. I haven't seen a lot of problems on the German site, so maybe it is ok. I have it installed on my 701, but haven't had the need to use it yet.
As with root, wait another day or so, and my Mate Civato will finish the modded boot.img for the JB 700, so you guys won't have to do a mess of things.
Will be a simple root.

Hi community, I have flashed Android 4.2.2 Generic World FTF using Flashtool to my Xperia L C2105, now I want to root it, but I don't know, how to do it. I have found this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2307983 and there is reference to thread with 4.2.2 root, but I can't go on this webpage, there is some error.
Can somebody give me some tutorial how to root XL working on Android 4.2.2, or explain me?
I have also found Motochopper method, somebody told me that it is right way to root my phone, but I'm not sure because I have read somewhere that Motochopper works only on some Motorola devices.
Maybe I will sell my phone in 3-4 months so I'll need a warranty back, so there should be a way to unroot the phone.
Sorry for my english
Thanks for help, greetings.
The methods that exist to root 4.2.2 firmware on Xperia L are considered unsafe :-/ Therefore the page was removed by xda's mods
And the motochopper method you read about was meant for android 4.1
To unroot you can always restore your device to original firmware, using pc companion, Sony Update Service or flashtool
Ok, thanks. When you say, that root on 4.2.2 is unsafe, do you mean that I won't be able to flash soft back at all? But does some method to root 4.2.2 exists?

Unsafe means those software are suspected to be malicious, more info http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46246819&postcount=1
Okay, thanks. Someone can close the thread, nvm, I'll wait till there will appear some safe and working way to root.
Thank you all.

You can try this method...root 4.2
Rooting using Kingoroot and vroot is risky.. It and IMEI number of your device to their server in China.. And we don't know what it does.. So be careful and don't use these 2 methods

Looked around a bit and found out its virtually impossible to unlock the boot loader if you are Carrier Locked so now my question is can someone help me installing CWM on Xperia J Locked bootloader (ICS 4.04 / Firmeware 11.0.A.7.5). This is because whilst browsing the web I also found its possible to flash ROMs that are based on stock ROMs which is the only reason I rooted in the first place!
Thanks in Advance,

Hmm, i think you can't because your bootloader is locked. :silly:
so how am i meant to flash a rom? My phones well slow
Found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-j-e/development/tipo-clockworkmod-t2003069/ Would it work or what?
And if so how do I make sure a ROM is compatible with this CWM
Can someone post the download link for the xperia j Znxt Rom ive looked through the first few pages but cant find it?

I recommend you to flash AlienRom. Its compatible with locked bootloader. Just follow the instruction how to install it. Also the rom doesnt have custom kernel inside, so just flash the stock kernel after you install the rom.
