FIRSTLY..
I GUESS you are not rooted...
u are running a stock kernal...
u have to flash your phone with a cf-root to get root acces and CWM wihc is necessary to flash files and deodexing...u can flash universal CF-Root by amit bagaria..or Universal beta9fix.tar by XDA_Bam u need to flash them through ODIN...
First Do the above steps..report back if there is any issue...
then move to the next one..
Cool relax...
ur config says ur on KPM... the theme will work on KPM as the OP suggests...
yes DEODEXING is must...
u have to deodex using a simple zip file... from here.. load it into ur mmc and flash using cwm...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1323661
and you will not lose any sms...apps or other stuff..deodexing just removes ur odex files and replaces them with jar files to allow u customizatin..

really thx for your help !!
i have already applied the cf-root and i have got the awsome cwm
i will flash the zip of deodex tomorrow
i'll report for any other troubles here
really thanks for you reply !

Instead of waiting why dont you upgrade to xxkpq.All the mods and themes are designed for kpq.
And all the files for deodex and stuff will be easily available

u shud move to xxkpq if u want more themes and mods..i guess its a stock rom so it MUST b having chinese language...
To backup up contacts sms and logs...u have an app called Super backup in market.. that wud save ur contatcs ...and For APPS u have titanium backup...
use them to take backups.. after taking the backups COPY THE BACKED UP folders to ur PC...
cz flashing the phone may remove them...
So u need to go flash xxkpq then cwm...deodex...ext4..theme..
copy back the folders and restore whatever u feel lyk..
hope i helped..!

You have to put the file in system/bin and set permission to rwxr-xr-x using root explorer and then open terminal emulator and type:
su
recovery
Then see if recovery is displayed for some time or not..

i thought to let know every one that we are developing a cwm from cm9 source and are downloading the sources. currently the sources are downloaded 61% and will be available to us at thunder squad by this week and we might be able to build a working cwm by next week.
the link to thread is here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34207935#post34207935
we don;t have the device so plz cope up with us because it takes time.
and if u want to help us boosting the process you can donate us here to buy the device.

Hi everyone,
I have a created a CWM flashable zip of Xperia Tipo ST21i's 11.A.0.4.22 FW. It is freshly built in linux.
Features:-
--->Pre-rooted with latest superuser binaries and apk
--->Completely deodexed
Guys, as I don't own this device, please report to me if the rom is working or not. My main aim was to encourage development in this section. For rom devs - please feel free to use this rom as a base if you want to.
Download link -
NEW DOWNLOAD LINK V2 - http://d-h.st/EOU
V1 - http://d-h.st/xiy
Installation:-
1. Download the zip and place it.
2. Reboot into CWM and wipe data/factory reset, wipe dalvik cache and format /system.
3. Flash the zip and reboot
4. Tell me if it is working.

Of course. Untouched. 100% stock. No scripts, no tweaks nothing.

Anyone tried? Please please please report if it works or not.

Stuck at Sony logo

If you can create an .ftf it will be useful, this way:
Flash stock ftf>turn on phone>root>reboot>install CWM>Reboot>install zip
an ftf is faster and easier.Especially when you're trying to fix your phone fast,or coming from a nonstock ROM.

See the updater-script and check line 0 and 7
For root access just add su, busybox too to xbin folder maybe sh file if u want to add cwm so that ur phone doesn't brick:fingers-crossed:
What do u mean root access in kernel zImage, ramdisk are u including custom kernel

Can't we just do a nice and easy "mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/sytem");"
Because, I think CWM will either way know which partitions are where.
Would this work?

[ROM][JB][Xperia E Dual] deodexed,rooted,maltilang 11.3.A.2.1

hello there,
I recently got my E dual, its great but as most of u here , we don't accept less than perfection. so if we wanna mod our dev , we need the firmware to be odexed so here we are:
first of all disclaimer:
I can't be held responsible for anything that happens to you, your belongings, the people you know, the people you don't know, anything that might be closely or remotely related to you. You install the provided software in your phone and you're sole responsible for what may happen. Can't be blamed if your warranty is now void either. Even coffee may taste different afterwards!
what is it:
its the stock Xperia E Dual JB 11.3.A.2.1 with the following :
- completely deodexed
- rooted
- busybox
- maltilang including Arabic and Persian.
- I didn't remove any app from the rom (bloatware) to let u do it ur self
why deodexed :
its easy to customize the ROM the way you want without odexes
how to install:
please make sure that u are on the 11.3.A.2.1 firmware,
1- download the zip and put it in the internal or external sd.
2- unlock ur boot loader and flash jjm34 kernel with CWM "the only way to have cwm for now"
3- reboot to recovery
4- format system & wipe every thing(factory reset)
5- flash the zip
download :
C1605 DEODEXED
credit:
- @jjm34 for CWM
- @dsixda for great tool
so lets start modding

and as a start here is my SystemUI "not finished yet but here is the pre release"
- removed AM/PM to save some space
- added new battery icons with %
- added 0.0KB thanks to @Dzol Cp
- ??? still working
how to install :
first copy ur original SystemUI.apk to safe place or make a backup will be better
download and copy the SystemUI.apk to sdcard
with app like ES file explorer copy it to system/app override the old one
restart and enjoy
or just flash the SystemUI.zip
working now on porting SMALL APPS and MAGNIFICATION GLASS maybe soon
thanks.

Maybe I have to wipe data ( I already wiped cache in CWM ).
Im a noob, come on Sony
EDIT : I just test wipe data/factory reset and wipe dalvik : same message : UIsysteme.apk has unfortunately stopped

This is the link to the Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, and Go forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1515
To flash anything, you need to move whatever it is you want to flash (a .zip file) onto your device's storage, then boot into recovery mode. Then, from within the revovery, navigate to wherever you stored the zip files, and confirm it.
Hope this helped
