Cos I have tried out a unit which I think is Taiwan Variant where it can switch to Chinese; while mine only contain all those European language. Hence I thought that there is a way to switch the languange pack. In that case, perhaps the only way to get chinese language on international keyboard is to flash to TW/HK stock ROM? use flashtool, flash ur unit with an international fw and tat will solve ur problem.

Squeeck! Senior Member 4,560 posts Joined: May 2007 From: Kuching,Serdang UPM	QUOTE(arbelnox @ Aug 11 2012, 02:12 PM) thanks... so out of the following FW, which one has the built in Chinese? (Extracted from XDA) Stock Firmwares Note: Stock firmware bundles packed as ftf (below) seems to be cross-compatible between MK16i and MK16a versions. However, do not take this as a 100% fool-proof conclusion, since this has not been confirmed by Sony. You can flash firmware for MK16a in MK16i and vice versa, the only side affect being that your phone would be recognized by software as the corresponding firmware you flashed. In case if you flashed a different baseband and your SIM card/mobile network is not working, you can always re-flash the correct firmware. For MK16i MK16i 4.0.1.A.0.283 (1254-8131) (Android 2.3.4) MK16i 4.0.2.A.0.42 (UK) , ALT (Android 2.3.4) MK16i 4.0.2.A.0.42 (Generic DE) (Android 2.3.4) MK16i 4.0.2.A.0.42 (Chinese) (Android 2.3.4) MK16i 4.0.2.A.0.58 (1249-8108) , ALT1 , ALT2 , ALT3 (Android 2.3.4) MK16i 4.0.2.A.0.62 (1251-0386) (Android 2.3.4) MK16i 4.1.B.0.431 (Baltic / Europe Keyboard Layout) & (1251-0386 / Africa Keyboard Layout) (Android 4.0.4) MK16i 4.1.B.0.431 (Baltic / Europe Keyboard Layout) (Android 4.0.4) and when we are flashing the FW, do we have to master reset the phone again? Mine is build number: 4.0.2.A.0.62 Also, I noticed that there are some posts mentioning that root for 042 and 062 has different method is it? So, if I'm just going to flash the firmware, do I need to first unlock bootloader and root the phone first? Thanks u want build in chinese form or can read chinese characters or can read and write?

Right now I'm using google PinYin but switching of language is kinda troubling. Thanks then u should check what fw is taiwan, hongkong and china using for MK16i and flash it with flashtool. if u are using internation fw (which authorized sets from thorus is using), u can read, but not write in a single click. u need aftermarket apps to support written settings.

Squeeck! Senior Member 4,560 posts Joined: May 2007 From: Kuching,Serdang UPM	QUOTE(arbelnox @ Aug 22 2012, 11:22 AM) Fuh, just got back from Singapore 2 days ago... time to update my phone now... still at B.0.62 bootlocked unrooted. Wanna clarify something first before moving on to ICS~ hehe 1) so, that means once we root the phone at B.0.42 or B.0.58 then we can update to MK16i 4.1.B.0.587 (Central Europe) with the root access intact? 2) Also, I wonder why those with ICS stock cannot just flash the Pro to GB (B.0.42) and root it then flash to ICS again? 3) Also, I'm bit confused with Sony PC Companion and SUS... what's the difference between the two though? Added on August 22, 2012, 11:49 amshoot....updated via Sony PC Companion and it got me AZERTY keyboard~ more works to do now... Guess I will just flash back to GB instead... 4) So, I can just download the GB stock firmware (General DE) and flash it with flash tool is it? No unlock bootloader is needed right? Thanks 1) root or not, u can still update, just that after u update, ur unit is no more rooted. why bother Central Europe version when u can just flash it with International version (thorus sets uses this). 2) why cant they? just flash it with stock GB fw and do it. 3) nothing different, but we advice to use SUS coz SPC is not stable at the moment. SUS can provide more accurate update notifications and proper download from the internet. 4) yes. stock GB (International firmware which comes with qwerty and also chinese support)

Senior Member 4,560 posts Joined: May 2007 From: Kuching,Serdang UPM	QUOTE(arbelnox @ Aug 22 2012, 03:29 PM) thanks bro, however there is one thing that I'm not quite sure which is where to get the International firmware? Cos as far as I'm searching from XDA, I couldn't locate the International firmware... most of them are Europe, Africa and Baltic.... Thanks. Back to Q1 though, I understand that once updated then the device will be unrooted... then I'm confused with some method where they suggest to get Kernel 4.0.3 from NEO and flash it over to PRO, root, and lastly flash with Stock 4.0.4... Won't that 4.0.4 flash render the ROOT stats being overwritten again? .58 GB stock firmware for PRO. http://minus.com/mO43xlfGY credits to rexstor TS, please add this in the front page, if possible kindly search back other links to this fw from rexstor or other members. thanks~ Q1, i know ur confuse, but i duno the meaning behind the method. for me it is like we do not have the proper root method for PRO, then we borow root method from NEO, then NEO root method clashes with PRO at the kernel part, then we flash in the kernel part for PRO, then reflash in PRO fw. tadah~ that's what i understand only~ ---- and HEY, there's a fix on bug aka new updated FW for PRO in ICS!!!! 4.1.B.0.587 use SPC to keep settings and apps in previous unit OR use SUS for a clean and clear flash through the internet.

Squeeck! Senior Member 4,560 posts Joined: May 2007 From: Kuching,Serdang UPM	siuyi is still trying on CWM installation, will just update the rooting method for 4.1.B.0.587 for MK16i at the moment. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « ok, u got 4.0.4 ICS Pro with 4.1.A.0.431 and u wish to upgrade to .587 ICS. u plug in pc, using SPC (sony pc companion), u update ur PRO without clearing off the unit's data and setting. and wtf u end up with a clean ICS without root. Before starting anything, u should have: - Flashtool - ADB driver installed for a working flashmode for ur PRO - download this Rooting toolkit so what u need to do is.... 1. Go to settings > Security > Mark "Unknown sources" 2. Settings > Developer options > Mark USB debugging 3. Settings > Xperia > connectivity > USB connection mode > select MSC mode 4. Uninstall 'superuser' app from ur PRO (which u had it last time in ur previous firmware). 5. Download this kernel and also this kernel. put them in the C:/ Drive > flashtool > firmwares 6. via Flashtool, enter flashmode, and select kernel MT11i kernel and ok. your PRO will definitely end up blackout. do not worry as it is normal. 7. take out the battery, wait for 5 seconds then plug back the battery and ON it. there will be a vibrate on startup and a 2nd soft vibrate on login. connect it to the PC via usb cable. A properly startup PRO can be detected by either the 'removable drive' in 'my computer OR SPC detection OR to-do pop up. 8. open Rooting toolkit folder, select 'run.bat' and follow instructions on the command screen. 9. once finish, unplug cable off. take off the battery of ur PRO, wait for 5 seconds, plug it back. 10. Open flashtool again, enter flashmode, select MK16i kernel and ok. After that, restart ur PRO and check if superuser is back or not. I assume it is rooted and only rooted. siuyi will look for a shortcut to install CWM next. have faith~ credits to nabeel and doomlord sos add-on: done with CWM. i recovered back my previous download.. check spoiler below: » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « 1. download this and extract it on ur desktop. 2. connect ur PRO to the pc. set is screen sleep more than 1 min. 3. Double click 'SE_Extreme_Tweak_Installer.exe' and select from the list for 'CWM for xxx/xxx/PRO/xxx, then click 'Install' 4. once finished, restart ur PRO, then spam the volume - button when SONY logo got brighter (u know what im talking if u used to have CWM in ur PRO). if u are able to enter the CWM mode, then u r good to go. credits to quangnhut123 sos i re-upload the .rar coz the original had become a broken link in the sos.

Squeeck! Senior Member 4,560 posts Joined: May 2007 From: Kuching,Serdang UPM	QUOTE(arbelnox @ Aug 23 2012, 07:22 AM) one more question please.... When I fire up the flashtool V 0.90 and click on the "Lighting /thunder" icon, it appears I have to choose between "FLASHMODE" or "FASTBOOT MODE". So may I know which mode should I choose if I'm just flashing my MK16i to previous GB FW (currently at B.0.587)? And how to enter to each mode? Kinda confusing cos I've read about few articles where different button is mentioned to enter the FLASHMODE like "BACK" / "MENU" / "VOLUME DOWN"... thanks flashmode. the flashtool will prompt u how to get into flashmode and PRO is by pressing 'back' button. pressing 'menu' brings u to fastboot mode. may i know why u wanna downgrade? i just upgraded and rooted and CWMed my PRO to B.0.587 yesterday. add-on: i just remmber u saying ur current fw is not normal, so u wanna flash to international firmware and upgrade it to ICS properly, right?
