Important information
  • Everything you do, you do at your own peril and risk! No one is responsible for your actions!
  • Before any of your actions, you should carefully deal with all the instructions and drivers!
    Without drivers and full understanding of the instructions, it is not recommended to do anything with the phone! There will only be more problems!
  • This topic assumes that you already have enough knowledge onfirmware, rutting and unlockingdevices.
    For these questions, read the topic header.Official firmware
  • Before flashing the next custom, it is strongly recommended to do nandroid-backup inRecovery : CWM | TWRP . Otherwise, you can turn off the phone and have to reflash everything and do it all over again!
  • What not to do:
    With the unlocked bootloader, update over the air to the official firmware (do OTA-update). Otherwise, get "brick".
    If you still got a brick, then youhere. The method is not guaranteed, but suddenly it will work!
Drivers and Utilities
Official:
  • Android SDK Tools - Android Developer Tool
  • Sony PC Companion- A simple program to update. Updates new software over the current ... often crooked and with glitches.Not recommended.Does not update devices with an open boot.!
  • Emma- The official program to update the phone with an open boot. Almost useless, because the basic principle: "I only sew the latest software available"which may not be the last ... or maybe not at all.

Informal:
  • Flashtool - A program for flashing the phone. Able to sew all parts of the firmware. Sews any slipped firmware ... both with an update and a clean one ... with both a closed and an open boot. It does roll back firmware to early, root, unlock, etc. Extremely useful program, it is recommended to master!
    • Carefully read all the instructions for working with the program! It is better to first read, then do.
  • QuikIMG [0.2 beta]- fast and easy flashing of system files
  • Fastboot- A program for flashing kernels.
  • Xperia updatechecker- Search for current, at the moment, the firmware of a specific device. Links to download firmware.

Custom kernels

The firmware is still in test mode. Judging by the reviews on XDA in it, unless of course it can be installed, a lot of things do not work.
Finally, it brought to mind.

I want to clarify, does 4EXT Recovery work on this machine?



Rep: (476)
AWAQS, does not work. Only HTC smartphones are officially supported.



Rep: (13)
On a locked bootloader, client and twicd rum, boot up, 5 seconds work and reboot
6-7 times later, the reloads were gone, but another bug appeared,The phone does not want to connect to the BB in any way, like a flash drive
It turned out that there is a problem with a proprietary cable, which now, for some reason, can only be charged, and I liked the firmware :) only due to the reduction in size, there were few internal programs
Trinity veaganz, not surprised by speed, busting all the rubbish inside, the wire did not revive.

Well, perhaps I will describe HUANSHAN, good firmware, stable, with garbage almost completely removed, never hung up, the interface (keyboard, gallery, wolfman, movies) is all OK, but with one but, the mode of replacing the memory card is not installed in some places :( Until they fix it, I went to Clean and Tweked, if you ask :) But the symptoms at the first boot remained;)

Is the bootloader unlocked?



Rep: (272)
I did not quite understand, to install the kernels and the custom, you must unlock the bootloader? And which kernel is more functional? Thanks!



Rep: (476)
BulBul075, to install custom kernels - required. There are no custom firmwares, but some firmwares have init.d tweaks that the stock kernels do not support. Therefore, some functionality is lost.
