hey btw it says " MAKE SURE U INSTALLED ADB DRIVERS " whats that???
before i proceed i have few questions
1)can i able to update to ICS through PC Companion when it is available from SE officially
2)is it necessary to update 4.0.2.A.0.62 firmware or leave it as it as (4.0.2.A.0.58)
1) ICS will only be available via PC Companion/Sony Mobile Update Service.
2) .62 firmware includes some improvements for battery and memory, that are not in .58.
.58 firmware had problems with restarting, it was fixed in .62 firmware.
@Someguyfromhell,
i flashed my phone using flash tool and successfully rooted using Doomlord toolkit
and my phone current firmware version is 4.0.2.A.0.58 and what
should i do next
do i need to update to 4.0.2.A.0.68 or install Cwm Recovery as it is described in
the main thread and what is the process of Cwm Recovery
OTA update your phone,the root will be keep and the OTA update will take only a few minutes while updating through PC Companion will take 30 minutes++...and after updated with latest firmware and root,you can do whatever you want with your phone...
Sent from my SK17a using xda premium
finally updated my phone using wifi and i am glad to see that root is still there
can any tell me what is the use of Cwm Recovery
my sk17i is a week old, it has 4.0.A.2.335 as the stock build. when i connect to the PC, the companion says that i have an update( i.e .62) i tried updating a several times but i couldn't. at the first time, i had over 60% of battery when i start to updating. but it all got drained off while the updating process is going on (when the green light is on-my connection got really slow while updating ) anyway i charged my phone fully when i do the next update. but then it says there has been an error while updating.
*is this happening because of what happened 1st?
*is this a better way to update my phone?
*do i have to root my phone to do this? ( if i root, my warranty goes off)
*my pc is a 2.4GHz runs on XP SP-2, is that a problem?
please good people help me on this matter!!
Well I am a super noob. I dont know how to flash even I have a flash tool and rest I can find I guess. But the burning problem for me is do I need to root my phone pal??
So here's the problem.
The flashtool says can't find the drivers needed. But in the drivers folder there's an exe file, wich doesn't contain the drivers needed to W19 ... where can I get them?
So any other method than that other than unlocking the bootloader or flashing custom .62s? Too bad since mine doesn't have an OTA update because it tells that i'm on the latest fw although I have the .58 official stock rom. Been checking for days now.
I believe it's not...I just used DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit to root my phone and, afaik, it does not unlock bootloader?
Otoh, how can I check it?
Edit:so I bet it's locked, right?Code:Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status --> Bootloader unlock allowed:Yes
Bootloader unlocked: Yes
i'm sorry i dont know how to update my phone via ota wat do you mean by ota? i'v done updating it before via pc companion but it disable my root, i'm trying to update via wifi but it says your phone is up to date.. do you have a tut for updating it via ota??tnx again..
If you have .58, then you don't have to flash again. Just root it and then make OTA update.
Over point 2, I disagree. To enter flashmode on WT19, just plug in USB cable to computer, turn off your phone, hold down Volume Down button and connect USB cable to your phone. Green LED shows up.
