enhancement include blue battery percent mod, quickpanel settings.

Are you going to create topic for every single market firmware release around the globe? It is getting a little crowdy here, why not split it into 2: root and non-root firmwares?

Sounds like a good idea, I do agree that it gets crowded and the real good stuff coming out (CM9) are being pushed down the drain.

hmm, in HTCMania i have a thread with all Firmware + ROOT listed, maybe a someone can do that here

 

[andrewcpy]

procedures ? flash pre-root img then firmware ?

 

[ahomad]

does the unrooted version has the blue battery percent mod and quickpanel?

if not, is it possible to make ftf file with these mods without rooting, as I can't root my device because the bootloader is not unlockable

 

[andrewcpy]

i have unlocked bootloader and rooted
but i cannot get update from sony,
how can i rooted the LT26i with online update enable ?
can i flash rooted firmware and then relocked the machine
and go for online update to 73 with root still in the machine ?

 

[Yakandu]

srsly, do you read the guides? its in RED and HUGE! IF YOU UNLOCK BOOTLAODER YOU CANT UPDATE VIA OTA - PCC - SEUS

 

[andrewcpy]

I know....,
so, what I'm planning to do is to unlock bootloader and root it
then relock bootloader again and go for OTA update.....
but the problem is will root remain when I update or relock bootloader again ?

Flash Firmware, unlock bootloader, flash preroot image.

no, you cannot alter the system if you use only the ftf.

Either way, rooted or not, you can always relock the bootloader. Once locked, you may proceed with any official firmware update using SEUS (not pc companion, as you can't download 73 firmware with it at the moment).

root remains after locking bootloader.

[andrewcpy]
