Hello all

Just got Xperia Pro today, bought it from Terry (x132755) , AP set red.
wish to root and upgrade it, but for now I like to get used to the phone in its original condition first..

couple of questions,

which u guys recommended to do first, root the android or upgrade to ICS ?

since mine not ori, how to upgrade to ICS ? I assume I can't use PC companion right ?

thanks for the answer

plz add me into the Xperia pro owner

u can update it via sony pc companion or sony update service whether it's ori or ap set ..
or u just can flash the ftf file from xda using flashtool ..

better upgrade to ics first before root ..
if u root and upgrade to ics it'll be useless since upgrade ur rom will delete all your tweak ..
including root ..

btw ,
welcome to the club bro !!

sorry for late response ..

Hi all, since C9 RC1 is already available for our device.. do you guys know any guide that I can view to help me flash the rom?

There's no dedicated xda thread for this and it seems like this phone is not very popular as well.. really hard to find a well written guide.

Anyone already using CM9 can write a step by step instruction? Many thanks.

are you sure cm9 rc1 already available for our device ?
i saw only 4 devices ..
xperia play , mini , active and ray ..
not see any xperia pro , neo or neo v ..

Thank you! Will try this tonight when I get home. So first impression of CM9 RC1? Any issue? Hardware keyboard all good?

i don't see so much different from cm9 fxp126 rc0 ..
but , still got few problm ..
h/w kyboard lighting don't work ..
fm radio not work ..
camera panorama not work ..
hdmi not test yet ..

other than that is awesome ..
maybe this release is more stable than before ..

H/W keyboard lighting doesn't work? Ah.. that's too bad. Maybe I'll wait until it got sorted out before flashing this rom. I don't really care about the other issue.

Thanks for taking your time to write the tutorial though

yup ..
it already an issue since fxp125 ..
neva try other b4 ..

dunno when will be fix ..

wahaha...i found easier way to get 100% supercharged...just patch this services.jar with CWM......thnx to shardul_seth from xda for creating this modded file

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.p...7&postcount=469

maybe can share this info to others too

lol ..
u use custom rom or stock rom ??

if custom rom just use patch ..
stock rom can't ..
if u patch it'll cause bootloops ..
IINM ..

my phone still in stock rom and locked bootloader

alrady patch it using this file....no problem at all.....

lol ..
i just did it with my friend's phone ..
just patch it ..

weird ..
the rom is stock but not odex ..


btw , its live with walkman ..
i think it's same with u too if the patch is working ..
because if ur rom is odex n u patch it ..
u'll got bootloops ..

CORRECT me if i'm wrong ..
