[DooMLoRD]

Both ftf doesnt work for me. First hawee some problem in flashing apps, ftf from binary had (i thing it) bad loader, because flashing doest start on my device

can u post the FW from EMMA which worked for u?

 

[Bin4ry]

yes, i will make it and post it. Just wait few minutes

Prototype or release device?

 

[Bin4ry]

RElease device, not protype. Already posted working FTF in other thread

Cool. I'll check against my loader. Wondering why you have problems with my package, already flashed some phones with it and no problems so far.

My Firmware is 6.0.A.4.1 [Japan] by Sony Ericsson

Model Number SO-02D

 

[Bin4ry]

Yes Japan has own Docomo branded devices. Hardware is as always the same like in World phones (LT26). It was like this since the X10 which was called (S0-01D or smth like that).

Hi,

How can I extract / modify the files from a .sin file ? I searched the forums & came across a utility called sin2img but the output from that utility cant be mounted in linux.

Samsung & Htc img files can be mounted as rfs/sparse ext4 or ext3/4 images, what are .sin images & how can they be mounted in linux or windows ?

 

[Bin4ry]

i posted to the thread in general. But what you want to modify ? I already posted a rooted system.img here in the forums.

Regards

But I thought Japanesse version of S has TV tuner, mobile wallet and infrared. Mobile wallet rather not, but tv tuner and infrared are hardware features, are they not? If they are, hardware is different. If not, would that mean, rest of the world got them as well, but are blocked by software?

Ah that i had not known. So japanese hardware is different. Rest of the world does not have this features (tv + irda).

Sorry for all that confusion. I got it wrong. Sony Xperia NX (SO-02D) is japanese version of S. Sony Acro HD (SO-03D) has tuner and infrared. My bad, I do apologize.

just SO-02D [Japan] no NFC, but after hardware modify, its possible. And Bootloader unlock allowed [No]


For SO-03D just Irda, Waterproof, TV [1seg], Money electronic [maybe NFC or other]. SO-03D, i think model only japan.

SO-02D SO-03D last Sony Ericsson Smartphone.

" The Xperia NX is the Japanese variant of the Xperia S, with the 4.3 inch LCD "Reality Display", Qualcomm MSM8260 1.5 GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM and twelve-megapixel camera. The Xperia acro HD will also share similar specs, like the 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 4.3-inch HD display and a twelve-megapixel camera, but with added Japan-market specific goodies like IrDA port, NFC mobile wallet and TV tuner."

Tvtuner woot?

 

[UserX10]

The japanese variants are a little bit different compared to the world wide shipped ones.

Not all - but nearly all - jap. variants are water proofed and have a tv-tuner on board with an extensible rod antenna.
Some (older) ones have addidtionally NFC on board.
The new xperia ones have NFC anyway on board.
