Ics now for locked bootloaders....

This morning sow a notification from Wotan Server: NOW ICS 4.0.3 FIRMWARE FREE FOR FLASH!!!
Because i'm at work now i can't verify that.
Someone can see it and publicate?
And: How to root that firmware???
THE NEW ICS FIRMWARE IS FOR GSM ONLY AND IS AVAILABLE FOR XPERIA ARC S, RAY, NEO V.
The server says that the ICS firmware for XPlay "WILL BE RELEASED IN A FEW DAYS"
Sadly.... We will keep'n waiting...... :-(

link? explain? cdma or just gsm?

Do you mean this?

To the right it shows Current Firmwares and a bunch of 4.0 firmwars. To my knowledge this site is NOT for R800x users, as R800x is CDMA and I believe this site only does GSM. Or unless you are unlocking your bootloader, in which case this site will work with R800x for that only... if I am wrong on this assessment please correct me.

Just to clear up one issue, I used WotanServer a few days ago to flash the .88 (Android 2.3.3) firmware to my Verizon R800x when my bootloader was still locked.

Where did you see this, i only see this at aviable firmwares:
3.0.1.A.0.145
3.0.1.A.0.146
3.0.1.E.0.88
3.0.A.2.184
3.0.E.2.89
4.0.1.A.0.283
4.0.2.A.0.42
4.0.2.A.0.58
4.0.2.A.0.62
4.0.2.A.0.69
4.0.A.2.368

I still can't to verify that, but the short list that you have should be for your location. I'mfrom Chile and the list of available firmwares for "me" is very large...
I'll go home in a cuple of hours, will take a look and post it anyway.

If you are using windows 7 use the snipping tool under the start button to take a snapshot of the page and post it here so we can take a look at it...

The only thing i noticed is that flashing is no longer free.
Rip wotan, you will be missed

Sony stated the following on their blog:
Sony said:
The first Xperia models to receive the upgrade will be Xperia arc S, Xperia neo V and Xperia ray. For these first models, the rollout will start mid-April and continue over 4-6 weeks.*
Following on, Xperia arc, Xperia PLAY, Xperia neo, Xperia mini, Xperia mini pro, Xperia pro, Xperia active and Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman will receive their scoop starting from the end of May/early June.*

Where to get Official FTF XPeria E?

Hi,
The official sony stock ftf for Xperia E Single Sim:
Link: docs[dot]google[dot]com/file/d/0B_d8uWGbkaetNS13Mmk4WEhrUTA/edit
Has died and I want to know if there was anyone who still had it and would be able to upload it again?
I sort of scanned the developer.sonymobile.com site and found nothing about the stock version. I assumed they would provide the zip but it wasnt available :/
Any help would be appreciated

New bootloader for open devices (now with real recovery)

Hi all,
I have a great news
http://developer.sonymobile.com/201...for-a-range-of-unlocked-xperia-devices-video/
Bootloader is compatible with open devices roms and also enables real recovery (Volume Down + Power)
to flash recovery partition on device you have to
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Happy Cooking

PS.
in case latest software does not appear just press "all Services"
flash latest software available and on top new loader

Not exactly. Now the kernel and recovery have different partitions so even if you flash a new kernel it wont affect your recovery.
You have to separately flash kernel and recovery from now on. Which really simplifies the flashing procedure and makes it even more safe.
This type of partition exists in almost all the phones you get from other brands, glad that Sony has adapted to it.

Is there a way how to revert back to old bootloader? I've forgot to flash stock before the new bootloader, device is not booting, now I'm gonna flash stock (downloading ). I hope the device will wake up...
Btw what would happen if I restored DRM keys?

hey @jerpelea Upload FTF file of new bootloader. my varriant is not compatable with sony flash tool. i want to use unofficial fashtool.

I installed the bootloader with the flash of sony "Emma", restart the phone only black screen and after a long wait I install the firmware FTF with Flashtool unofficial.
will anything change? Signal strength is bad, wrapped also absent

It's available on the D2203
Did anyone apply this thing?? Is it stable ??

Urgent! D6603 custom roms on D6653?

Hi guys, I've found myself asking this question all over the development forum but this should be the only appropriate section.
I'm going to buy a Z3 but only D6653 is available in my area.
So, I just want to know if I can flash roms which are actually designed for D6603 like THIS (without D6653 patch) on the D6653 without anything broken? (I don't know if D6603 and D6653 have the same hardware configuration)
Will I get all the functionality like D6603? or I should buy a real D6603 one?
sorry for the confusion if my english is bad
Thanks in advance!

You can use any roms made for D6653 for D6603, even D6603 ftf stock can be flashed for D6653 through flashtool, everything is ok just the model was changed to D6603 in setting menu instead of D6653

Your contact list still intact or attached to google server...as long as u remember how to log in google and always set contact list sync to google then I think you are fine, your contact will not lost.
Btw have you tried flash D6603 with stock MM firmware? Try with clean install, (user data, app logs and cache must be checked to be erased).
