Is there a way of rooting without downgrading phones firmware? My internet is very slow, and downloading older version of firmware would be real pain.

For now i don't think so but you must downgrade only once. Later updates, you only flash upgrade (twrp_prerooted_M4.zip) with new version (currently with 26.1.A.3.111). I will update it
mixer_paths_mtp
back up your original file "mixer_paths_mtp"
please!!!
I don't understand this completely. I'm currently on firmware version 1.128. Can i update to 3.111 without losing root and how?
Wow bro, thanks for this appreciated
So far I ve got one single random reboot while listening to music.
Any more mods for m4 aqua? I am trying to make my m4 look like xperia x

Ok thanks. Now i understand. Maybe you should change the filename to something like "firmware_M4_111_prerooted.zip" it is confusing as the other filename made me think it was only a twrp Recovery zip.

And again it happened when I was listening to music on walkman app. Any ideas what's causing it?

5. Go to install custom zip option
6. Click, Yes - Install /sdcard/update.zip, wait a little
7. Reboot Your X10mini / X8
If you want to back to stock android theme use X10 mini Stock Theme version.
Unpack it, choose FW version and copy required update.zip to SDCard, and then install it via XRecovery.
THREAD UPDATES:
Changes history from ANDROiD 1.6 (FW 1.2.A.1.174) to ANDROiD 2.1 (2.1.1.A.0.6) moved to attachment.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
X10mini/ mini pro FW 2.1.1.0.A.6 INSTALLATION NOTES
1. Download package [2.1.1.A.0.6][email protected]_ag[XDA].7z, choose desired theme version and install it via Xrecovery.
After restart Your phone will have a long first boot, around 10-11 minutes (if You're updating from stock theme), but dont worry phone will boot successfully.
2. If Your phone will go to bootloop (continious restarts) after install above package, i also prepared 2 step installation process to apply framework modifications:
FIRST Use Xrecovery to install desired theme version from package: [2.1.1.A.0.6][email protected]_ag[XDA].7z . Reboot phone and wait until it boot successfully.
SECOND Get and extract file: [2.1.1.A.0.6][email protected]_ag.7z. Copy update.zip for desired theme version to Your SDcard and reboot phone. Use Xrecovery to update framework.
ATTENTION: If You mess the step order Your phone will not boot.

Upload it to phone and use Root Explorer to copy and set the correct permissions to this file.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LAST CHANGES (22.11.2011):
- Added beta version of theme for ThemeChooser
This is for testing purpose ATM. Please install miniCM package again, because stock miniCM framework/apps files are needed for testing. There is no preview available in ThemeChooser, when appying theme ignore message about missing assets and choose "Apply anyway"

Thanks for the back up are they the original files. For mini pro and are they from the latest firmware.
There is a discussion on pulloff thread about htc icons they work on mini with the latest firmware not sure if they work on pro.
When i open CMD and write adb shell --> i get $
then i write su, but i get permission denied?
I need the # right?
And when i do have the #, will i just copy the 40 lines from here, and then its on the phone?
1.2.A.1.174
That's the latest firmware

The files are straight from my X10 mini pro running 1.2.A.1.174 build
That's what I'm asking. I'd love to use the theme and have it fully black, but I don't want to mess with the funcionality of the apps, if they're different.
Oh well.. I guess I can always download the modified files, extract the assets and do the modification on my own.

I used root explorer.
Easiest way.
Make sure u have rooted your device and have super user installed.
U need root explorer or any explorer which allows you to r/w files.
This is the istructions.
Do it one by one if your scared.
Make sure you mount to r/w and also keep an eye on 1ow icon since it changes back to r/o. When browsing certain folders.
Copy framwork to sytem and set the permission,then move to framworw folders .
Copy the other apk files to sytem and set permission,then move to apps folder.
How to set permission
Hold on to the file e.g framework a list of option will pop up scroll to permission and tick the 1st two boxes on the first line and the 2nd and 3rd line tick the 1st box only ,then un tick any other box which I havnt mentioned.
Then reboot your phone.
Good lick
Don't use root explorer method for htc icon it dosent work.

You need to Accept superuser permissions in Your phone. Until application won't have it You will receive "Permission denied" message.
For second question - You need to input them one by one.

Howdy All!
So We've been Busy yet again
And we are proud to re-release This Tool. Whats new
All New UI that uses the ActionBarSherlock framework to give full Holo theme + Action Bar to devices pre ICS
To support more phones i have had to change the way the app works.
(OLD VERSIONS AVAILABLE IN ATTACHMENTS)
What it does now
1 - Check your phone model and compare it to a list of supported devices.
2 - If you phone is supported you can pick any of the supported CWM versions for you phone.
3 - When you click install it will download the CWM "recovery.tar" to your SD-card .
4 - Build you a "chargemon" file to match you phone.
5 - Take the charger + sh file from within the app.
6 - It then backs all the previous files up to the SD-Card and moves all the files to system as needed.
7 - if there are no problems then it is done and CWM is installed(into system)
Comming Soon
With the new app i am also able to do many new things that were not possible in it's last incarnation
(in no particular order)
1-Click De-Bloating of Stock Firmware
1-Click Enable of Init.d support for locked Bootloaders / Stock Kernels
Few more in the works too
Many more phones
My current plan is to support most Xperia devices
My current plan is to add these soon
X10, X8, Xperia S, U, P, Sola
also if there is no compatibility issues the app does not need to be updated to add phones / recoveries. I can do it all server side.
This App will work with the Sony Xperia porfolio. it will install CWM into the system partition so you can use recovery even with a locked bootloader!
Usage
Launch the Application,
Swipe Between Tabs or Pick Tabs
Let it detect your phones setup
Press Install and CWM will be installed into your system.
To access recovery simply, reboot phone and press any key on boot at the Sony Ericsson logo, when the notification LED turns Blue. or use the "reboot to recovery" button from within the app.
Recovery
Currently there are 2 recoveries that are able to be installed
2.3.* Roms
5.0.2.7 for GB Roms (nobodyAtall) [link]
4.0.* Roms
5.5.0.4 Recovery for ICS Based ROMS (pvyParts)
Changes
-USB Storage Mount works
-System wont be corrupted (Thanks nAa for the pointers + puppet13th for testing)
Requirements
Stock ROM
Root
(Locked Boot Loader, if you are unlocked you really don't need this)
Supported Phones!

How to install!
grab it here
x-Parts on the Market!
or from the attachments in this thread!
if you experience issues with the app please post them here
Enjoy
Pvy.
Permissions explained.
Storage
Modify/Delete USB and SD-Card Storage Contents
Required to store files on SD-Card prior to installing to system
System Tools
Prevent Phone from Sleeping
Required to Wakelock the phone whilst installing to ensure no issues
Network Communication
Full Network Access
This allows x-Parts to get the current supported phones list and to download the "recovery.tar"
View network State
Allows x-Parts to check for a connection before connecting so it does not crash
Current bugs
MAJOR FIXED
If phone is unsupported app crashes (My bad i forgot to add the unsupported screen)
sometimes crash with no internet connection (Looking into it)
MINOR
Few Spelling mistakes (Again sorry will get someone who is betterer at englishing than me to fix it)
App Change Notes

There are some people who don't always have wifi or data connection to use Xparts. This is quite handy, actually. Especially now that I don't have a fast wifi connection but badly needing cwm recovery.

Make sure read first post and install and configure rom propertly! And one more important thing do not use governor other than INTERACTIVE (recomended for all JB roms)! If you carefully complete all steps you will be very satisfied with rom!

My question is about App that was installed in my ROM befor. Can it be restored as normal ( via Backup and Restore ) or should use other backup program ( Titanium ) ? Or.............. it can be done by restore data with your Recovery ?

Did you read OP? No! When you install this rom than you can make/restore backups, so do not use backups from another roms! I will leave development for Xperia Go if you guys continue lazyes and skip reading first post! I continued development for Sola from these reason, so please read OP carefully and do not ask stupid cuestions because everything is explained in details on first post! Recomended is full wipe and apks installation from Play Store instead of using backups.So do not complain if something not working if you not folowed first post carefully! Rom is full working and perfect working (only if you have instaled and configured them carefullly). So when you install everything, when you configure everything, when you install all apks and configure permissions for them, when you make rom in perfect form for your needs THAN you can generate backup and use them for restore in every time!
Can anyone test if Greenify works with this?

No need for them because with app control and LBE you can setup all your apks and make them disabled and secure your privacy on startup, but I will test and let you know if Greenify is working. Allso battery is maximaly saved without needs for using any other apk for battery saver!
Edit:
Greenify is working!

Full wipe - mean wipe data factory reset + format system partition is strongly reguired!!! Without these thing you will have boot loop or at least not funkcional android!!! See instruction on first post!
I installed the rom as instructed in the first post but there is something weird in my google account sync, it is not syncing my contacts and also noticed that contacts is missing in the list of data to be sync using google account, please refer to the screenshot

Hello,
I have the same problem that "angelerikz".
I log in my google account, appears to sync but, I can´t see my contacts.
I have installed the rom two times with the same problem.
The rest appears to work fine.
Thank you for your job !!!

I not like aplications which capturing my privacy without my knownledge, so I removed these auto sync aplications! If you want to re-enable them simple put next 2 apks to the /system/app folder and reboot:
GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk
GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk
These apks is not resigned by me so you can use these 2 apks from any Xperia Go JB rom!
HERE IS A LIST OF ALL SONY APKS FROM LATEST SONY STOCK JB ROM -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/5777655/
I REMOVED A LOT OF BLOATWARE APKS. APKS SIGNED WITH PLATFORM KEY CAN NOT BE USED FROM ANOTHER ROMS BECAUSE OUR ROM HAVE ALL PLATFORM SIGNED APKS RESIGNED BY MY PRIVATE KEY!!!! SO IF SOMEONE CHANGE ONE OF PLATFORM APK WILL GET BOOT LOOP !!! ALL OTHER APKS CAN BE USED FROM ANY OTHER JB ROM! MAKE SURE CHECK THIS LIST BEFORE MAKING ANY CHANGES TO OUR ROM!!!
how to get rid of apps like gmaps, navigation? May I use TitaniumBackup for that?
thank you, munjeni,
I have installed the apk´s GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk and GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk and now I can sync.
Cool! Thanks hit for Master munjeni, how much free RAM if I update to this version?

Seems you not read instruction on first post and you have lags? Please read carefully how to install and CONFIGURE our rom. WIPE DATA FACTORY RESET, THAN WORMAT SYSTEM PARTITION, ITS STRONGLY REGUIRED, than install rom. If you not installed rom using instructions from first post, please do not report here anything about the rom, it will never work corectly! Do not use any backups to restore, instead of these thing install all your favorite apks using PlayStore! Do not use any mods from another rom because our rom is presigned! When you install everything, when you install all your packages, when you configure your installed rom, THAN create backup and use these backup for restore! Sometimes backups used from another roms cause frezings, lags and problems! Interactive governor + sio scheduler is recomended! ...Please install it corectly and let me know your opinions! :good:
Edit:
One more thing. After fully configuring rom based on instructions, go to lbe guard / root permissions and double check is lbe have full granted permission, if not - set it and reboot! Allso make sure you enabled root under lbe guard menu because lbe not working without enabled root permissio!!!
great again
:good: thanks again for great "near stock" rom what has exactly the correct amount of mods. These kind builds are, to my mind, the best choices to run on the phones.
So far no problems. Would be good if the background process count could also be remembered, but its minor issue.
Hi Munjeni....
Regarding to the presigned key, is it possible for me to change the conversations.apk by the other from CM10.1 that I have modified? And can I install the Japanese input also from other JB ROM?
Thanks.

Requirements:
Flashtool 0.9.13 by @Androxyde
XZDualRecovery 2.7.43 BETA or newer.
Current rooted FW version: 14.1.B.1.532 or 14.1.B.2.257.
Special features:
SuperSU integrated in system, FULL ROOT!
XZDualRecovery 2.7.75 BETA (CWM & PhilZ Touch & TWRP) pre-installed;
init.d support (read how to enable)
For both locked and unlocked bootloaders!
In the following guide I suggest you use an external SDCard but that's just good practice, you can use your internal storage or even an USB OTG storage device in TWRP if you like to install, that's no problem!... If you are modding and the likes, best is to have an external sdcard, just for safeties sake.
If you are unable to download torrent files directly, have http://zbigz.com/ do it for you!
How to update to 14.2.A.0.290:
Files:
For C6802: Download C6802_14.2.A.0.290.flashable.zip (Bittorrent: 842MB) and C6802_14.2.A.0.290_Stripped.ftf (21MB)
For C6806: Download C6806_14.2.A.0.290.flashable.zip (Bittorrent: 815MB) and C6806_14.2.A.0.290_Stripped.ftf (21MB)
For C6833: Download C6833_14.2.A.0.290.flashable.zip (Bittorrent: 760MB) and C6833_14.2.A.0.290_Stripped.ftf (21MB)
Save them somewhere you remember;
Due to a little bug inside the updater-script, you need to follow the guide in this post to make sure flashing it works OK. (Only if you downloaded the older version)
Put 'C68XX_14.2.A.0.290.flashable.zip' on (the external) SDcard1;
Put 'C68XX_14.2.A.0.290_Stripped.ftf' inside the Flashtool/firmwares folder;
Create a backup of your phone in TWRP and don't forget to backup the contents of 'SDCard' (the internal storage!);
Install XZDualRecovery 2.7.74 or newer from PC.
In TWRP -> Wipe -> advanced Wipe Tick/Check:
Dalvik-Cache
System
Cache
Data
Then 'Swipe to Right' to make it happen and go back to the TWRP home screen;
Flash 'C68XX_14.2.A.0.290.flashable.zip' in TWRP;
NOTE: do not reboot but go back to the main menu, then go to reboot->power off;
Flash everything in 'C68XX_14.2.A.0.290_Stripped.ftf';
Now reboot to system;
Once you get to the language select screen, reboot to TWRP (no need to finish the guide);
Restore the backup of DATA only, when done go back to the TWRP home screen;
In TWRP -> Wipe -> advanced Wipe Tick/Check Dalvik-cache;
Reboot to system.
The first boot will be slow and after a long wait at the boot animation you will see Android start optimizing the apps on your phone.
Video Guide:
NOTE: This guide is based on an older guide for the Xperia Z1 which has since been updated a few times, but it will give you a general idea.

Enjoy! :fingers-crossed:
Known XZDualRecovery Issues:
Busybox Updater/Installer: If you have XZDualRecovery installed, un-install any Busybox updating app/tool as most if not all of them will install a version of busybox which does not support the lzma compression applets XZDualRecovery depends on. The version installed together with XZDualRecovery is very stable and I have yet to hear anyone complain about it's stability.
How to report errors:
Please, before shouting out "It doesn't work!!1!" or "I lost root!" or even "My phone reboots when remounting /system RW!!" try the following:
Restore any JB 4.2.2 FTF using any means you are familiar with so you can try again.
Root it using any means you are familiar with.
Install XZDualRecovery and then try to update again using TWRP.
If it still fails something from there on: LOGS!!.
NOTE: The important ones can be found in /cache/recovery and in /sdcard1/XZDualRecovery, pack them up and send them to me or attach them to your bug report.
Thank you

Tips and Tricks
Easy switching between locked and unlocked bootloader states!
NOTE: USE TWRP ONLY for this guide.
NOTE 2: You NEED to have XZDualRecovery 2.7.43 or higher to make this work.
Create a backup, including the Trim Area (TA!)
Unlock your bootloader
Restore backup without TA
Create a new backup of your UNLOCKED TA
Restore the previous TA backup to relock your phone.
Done :good:
Now you can switch between locked and unlocked bootloaders quick and painless: no more system wipes and you can basically do whatever you want
How to enable init.d support:
Open a filemanager app and navigate to the location where the XZDualRecovery folder is located and go in to it. Open XZDR.prop as a text file and set dr.initd.active to true.
NOTE: For this ROM it means the init.d script called 99SuperSUDaemon will kick in to action, so it's best to disable (by setting chmod 644) /system/etc/install-recovery.sh for the time being or to clear it's contents.
Done
Downgrading to a 4.2 ROM:
Download C6833_14.1.B.1.532_[NUT].ftf (Bittorrent: 760MB) and flash it using FlashTool. I've also added the FTF to the downloads page on the DevDB tab, this will allow straight downloads as well.
This FTF will allow you to downgrade to .532 without loss of your IMEI :good:
ROM Status: STABLE
Update 1:
C6802 ROM uploaded and seeding.
Update 2:
C6833 ROM uploaded and seeding.
Update 3:
C6806 ROM now uploading, FTF and torrent file links have been updated.
Update 4:
C6806 ROM uploaded and seeding.
Update 5:
A little bug has been discovered in the updater-script. To be able to flash the one you possibly have downloaded already, follow the instructions in this post to get it to work properly!
I will be updating the packages soon, in the mean time I have updated the OP guide to include this small fix.
Update 6:
Removed the files from the bit-torrent seeder. I'm currently uploading them again now. It will probably take about 30 minutes to finish that, will update again once completed and seeding again.
If you have already downloaded the package, make sure to read 'Update 5' with details on that how to fix yours.
Update 7:
Files have been replaced on the seeder box. There is no need to re-download them if you follow the guide pointed to by 'Update 5'.
Enjoy again!
Good work @[NUT] :thumbup:

Why?
Failed
Tried a few times to flash C6833_14.2.A.0.290.flashable.zip in TWRP, but each time it failed in the final step:
Code:
set_perm: some changes failed
E:Error in /sdcard/C6833_14.2.A.0.290.flashable.zip
(status 7)
So I decided to try the flashable zip from jackie099's thread, and that one was successful.

Ah frack, because of this report, I just rechecked my edify script, and even though it was correct typo wise, it is trying to set permissions on a file which no longer exists in the package.
I'll redo the packages soon. Packages have been updated. If you have one downloaded already, follow this little guide to fix yours!
In the mean time, open the flashable ZIP in winzip or winrar, extract META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script
and remove this line:
Code:
set_perm(0, 0, 0644, "/system/bin/ramdisk.stock.cpio.lzma");
Put the updater-script back inside the zip, updating the one there. It should make it flash OK from there on.
Thanks for the report!
thanks for all your hard work! however, torrents do not download (understand dependent on other servers etc) hope someone can post these (C6833) Thanks

Then your ISP is blocking them... or you are getting blocked by mine
Try http://zbigz.com to download the torrent file, they turn it in to a straight download for you.

Set up flashtool to where it asks you to connect your phone:
Turn off your mobile, then hold Volume down while connecting your usb cable. It will then start flashing.
Holding volume up will put your device in to fastboot mode, FYI
ahh, volume down lol. great, that did the rick
thanks a lot NUT! appreciate your job hehe. great work
oh right, i still have the notification of OTA update to 290 after i flashing your ROM. is there any way to clear it?
