THIS TUTORIAL IS FOR XPERIA ARC ! I DO NOT KNOW IF IT WILL WORK FOR THE ARC S !/!\ sorry for my english I use google translation /!\
- I do not pretend to have found the how or why of it
- All I can say is that manipulation works every time with me and I unlocked my bootloader several times via the official SE method.
- Also note that I do not know at what time the method allows to recover DRM, but what I can say is that at the end of this one every time I recovered DRM.
/!\ WELL MAKE SURE THE MANIPULATION IN ORDER WRITTEN BELOW: /!\
THIS METHOD RETURN YOUR ROM ORIGINALLY. DRM RECOVERED ONCE YOU CAN CHANGE THE ROM AND KERNEL ON YOUR OWN.
Make a backup of your rom before you start!
1. Download the attachments below.
-0.431.ftf : HERE
-0.587.ftf : HERE
-S1Tool : HERE
-Kernel 0.587(boot_arc.img): HERE
-Walkman 1&2 : HERE
-SuperUserRoot : HERE
2. Copy 0.431.ftf, 0.587.ftfand Boot_ARC.img in Flashtool/firmwares
HANDLING:
1. Put your rom version has 4.1.B.0.431 with Flashtool and previously downloaded rom ftf
2. Open S1Tool relock your bootloader with the tutorial here -->HERE !
3. upgrade to a phone with Flashtool version 4.1.B.0.587 and previously downloaded rom ftf
At this stage of the operation, you are 4.1.B.0.587 version, Bootloader locked and DRM does not always work...Do not panic this is normal!
4. We must now unlock the bootloader to the technical testpoint, tutorial here ->HERE !
( It sounds complicated but in reality it is very simple and very fast. )
5. install the kernel-provided below (boot_ARC.img) with Flashtool (incl. CWM you will then root)
At this level, it is possible that you have already retrieved the DRM data (I have not tested at this stage)
6.
- Copy 2 versions walkman and Superuser_ROOT.zip of your SD card
- Enter in recovery mode and install Superuser_ROOT.zip, the _1_walkman, then immediately _2_walkman
- Start your phone and manually install the file audio_effects.conf in the folder /system/vendor/etc/
Here, if you have done everything you need to be on the latest version of the rom, bootloader unlocked, walkman installed and DRM recovered !

TrillinaC for Walkman port

If you ,have found the way to do it...simply great......another milestone in android development....
I respect your work.
Has anyone tried it..?
Sent from the Underdog..
will try it this weekend. I think, the key is the "Walkman ". Cuz the Trillina has fixed all the issues of Walkman, of course "download info". I have saw a comment that said, the "download info "will work only if the BL is locked. Do you guys know what I mean, sorry for my poor English, I'm just a student from China

I think it could work with Arc S
Once finished, it will be enough to put a rom for arc S and the kernel that suits you best.
I recall that DRMs are recovered and that the bootloader is unlocked.
Well after doing a bit of research..
DRM KEYS ONCE LOST WILL NOT BE RECOVERED.
Those keys are saved in the Trimarea.. and we do not know the exact files which are deleted from there.
Hmm so is this really working or?

I don't think so since if there was really a method to recover the DRM keys, Sony would have let us know about it or used a method for us not to lose them.

No.. Working Music info download or Track ID does not prove that DRM is recovered. There are workarounds to make stuff like FBMedia like or TrackID work..

After Official SE unlock , I could not do anything, FB Like or download music info or download album cover.
after handling, everything worked.
I'm not saying they invented something, I just think that in this combination, it is something that puts in place the drm or at least re-work that allows all the elements mentioned above.
Don't say i don't think so try and post the results.........

Yes I know what you are saying.. Like I said using your method does make em work(there are other work arounds too).. but the DRM is not recovered. The system is just fooled..

TrackID will work with this method but will not restore your keys.
Sony said that in their bootloader unlock instructions: once you unlock you will lose your DRM keys
Sent from my LT18i using xda app-developers app
You mean the old trackid will work after this?
Sent From My Sony Xperia Arc S
after this manipulation, the former track id works but it says that the version is outdated.
-info-music works
-FB-like works
-change the cover works
-ect ..
If DRM is not recovered in any case everything works.

Another Q
does it work with GingerDX or any other custom rom or just stock Eclair?
It's working good only on GingerDX..on other roms it will have problems like bootloops...
I am an idiot
Just checked the original post and saw that doixanh said that he uses it with his GingerDX..so sorry for the spam but another question...do I have to unlock the bootloader or it will work only with the instructions from his post...thanks for the patience everybody and for the good work...once you go DX you never go back keep it up!

Everything is clear about the famous "swap". so in other words to use the swap feature of DX's kernel we need to install apps from market to activate
thank you for the clarification
doixanh said:

Don't forget that u have to create ext.3 / 4 partition to make it work as well..but it may as well reduce the life of your sdcard

No need.
You can use a swap file too.
Besides, it's not really measurable if it's going to reduce your sdcard lifetime, and even if it does, who would want to have an sdcard for more than two years.
UPDATED: Saturday, February, 25th 2012
DISCLAMER:
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE DONE TO YOUR PHONE IF YOU FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS: THOSE INSTRUCTIONS THAT ARE MENTIONED ARE WHAT WORKED FOR ME AND OTHER USERS> and when you read this thread,dont just read half or parts of it, read it properly, form start to finish!Hi there dear reader welcome to my guide with new questions new roms and much much more things. It's The latest guide to roms and mods for the x8!!1. we do not accept trolling here. i do not want a flame war here.
2. these mainly benefits me and other rom testers ect.
3.click here for my FAQ that gets updated every week
right onto the guide iitself.
RootingRooting your phone is what you need to do before you install custom roms, modules, and kernels. Rooting means you have superuser access to your phone. a bit like a special admin on a computer. having superuser rights means you also have the power to change you system stuff, delete a system app, add modifications and so on. if you wish to root your phone then click here
great, you'v rooted your phone i hope, now for the fun stuff...
Basebands and kernelsI know that many people have baseband 006. you cant install roms with your baseband at 006 so you will have to change it to 015. unless your phone already has 015. for the baseband collection thread clickthis
i have also found a thread with a custom kernel. its linuxdx by doixanh. for the thread click here
Also a guide on building a kernel. click here for that
Roms:welcome to the rom part of this thread. custom roms are custom android versions, that can easily be modified and customized, they are more than just your average android. most of them are based on cm6 or cm7 or cm6 mini.
here are a couple of gingerbread roms i have found and tested.
gingerbread roms:Gingercruzt by frogy furnetal.
Gingerdx by doixanh
minicm7
froyo roms
froyo pro by XDA-RK
Froyobread by doixanh
sense roms by ratch
how to install custom roms:Now, custom roms are actually quite easy to install. as long as you follow the instructions bellow.
1. copy the rom to your sd card. no subfolder just the normal folder on its own on the sdcard.
2.boot into xrecovery (for more about recoveries click here, its my FAQ you will find info there
3.go to install custom .zip
it should come up with a load of folders you have on your phone. go to the bottom where you will find your rom and choose that.
4. install it and wait...
5. once installed, do a full wipe before rebooting or you could get stuck on rebooting.
5. your done!
Modifications.Right now on to the mods.
some people want dual touch or pinch to zoom for their phones.
well, guess what, you can.
if you have cypress chip on your phone (real dual touch) click here
If you have synaptics (fake pinch to zoom) then click here
If you want to overclock your phone then click here
If you want linuxdx then click Here
how to install linuxdx (and other kernels)I do have a thread about bootloaders and kernels but since i put it in my modifactions section i decided to put a TuT:
grab flashtool 2.9.1 (hard to get hold of but it is the only flashtool that works with flashing kernels, i do have it and i have flashed linuxdx v004 and alfs kernel v05 so i will load up the download file for flashtool 2.9.1)(click here to download flashtool 2.9.1 move linuxdx v004 .ftf to flashootl/firmwares
and open x10flashtool (works with x8 dont worry) click flash and choose file. then follow the onscreen instructions... (plug in x8 whilst holding back button, wait for a few minutes as some coding will show up on the computer screen, then it will say its done and you can disconnect your phone) once completed rebbot phone and enjoy!!!YOU MUST HAVE AN UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER TO LOAD CUSTOM KERNELS!
Recently asked questions!
Hello guys! i decided to update my thread and tell you about more recently asked questions:
How to unlock bootloader:
Answer: There is this thing called search bar, use it because there is more than just 2 threads about unlocking bootloader, actually there is a about 5
Why do i get a hard brick after unlocking my phones bootloader?
Answer: Check your date on the back of the phone: It should have a date such as 11w28 etc. If it is 11w32 and above, then stay away from the bootloader, it will only end up in tears. Many threads about this too, use the search button
Can we run IOS on our x8?
Answer: Are you crazy? check my post here for more. If your thinking of porting it or anything (not that it will ever happen )
if you have anymore things you want me to add, then post a reply saying so.
also check out my FAQ
this will be updated every week.
Also, how did you get to this thread? via my sig, or via searching the forums or searching google?

for now everything is working really well. I'm restoring my apps right now so that's gonna take a little while but I'll let you know more later. First impressions are very, very good. All camera options work fine, the rom is really snappy, great stuff!!!
edit : one little gripe, after manually inserting the proper build.prop from your zip, my phone recognises itself as r800i but my computer still thinks it's a neo L when I plug it in. nothing major but i had to let you know
your zip has an error .. status 6...
Doesn't matter..
I downloaded this firmware .... had to convert it to ftf ... and flashed it .... feels smooth, thought there are some force closes in the start... but works great ... There is no particular difference between other firmwares and this on... Just a little smoother...
I haven't checked the touchpads yet... Will check it later..
I try to implement 2nd-init method (Motorola Milestone/Defy/etc) to hijack ramdisk.
With this method, we can change stock ramdisk, and we can boot CM with stock kernel...
Here's KeiranFTW's original thread too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2608408, but I used 2nd-init instead of chroot
So, i'm done with following steps:
Successfully implement recovery and hijack ramdisk...
I can replace ramdisk contents with new one...
I can boot CM10.2, but it has defects:
Kernel and user space graphical drivers are mismatch, screen is yellowish (no blue), and a lots of mdp errors in dmesg, and no boot animation
no radio
there's some problem with /data/ / sdcard mount...
So i call for help, because i've limited time for this project, but it can interesting...
If you want to try it, do the following steps:
get hijack from here: https://github.com/dh-harald/hijack-ramdisk-huashan
get CM from source (preferred) or fxp, and delete boot.img from zip (and connected lines from update-script)
(optional) replace jelly.tar and recovery.tar to your device specific ramdisks, if you're on other device than Xperia SP
go to recovery, apply CM, (optional gapps), copy chargemon and hijack.tar to /system/bin and fix rights, and factory reset...
install 4.3 kernel only via flashtool (if you aren't on 4.3)...
Known problem, that you need original kernel modules too, to get wifi working (not tested)
I think, it's mainly CM configuration, but it maybe helps, when CM team starts to use Sony's 4.3 kernel based CM kernel...
Any helps are welcome...
Here's a screenshot about cm and locked bootloader and stock kernel... It's a bit confusing, because when i screenshot it via ddms, colors are fine, but in screen, there's no blue color, only yellow...
EDIT:
I've found that radio/fs problems are selinux related...
EDIT: Current status:
No wifi
No sdcard on /sdcard (only /data/media)
Got baseband, but still no radio
Visible glitches, yellowish screen (aosp <-> caf ?)

I use same method, like this, but i use 2nd-init instead of chroot... selinux prevents proper booting
ATM, i'm playing stock rom with 2nd-init, to minimalize differences..
I passed selinux problems with @Hashcode binaries, got bootlogo, and i've no selinux errors, etc.
Next problem is modem initialization:
== cut ==
Any idea?
I cut some sleeps, in script, and modem doesn't initialized before script runs 2nd-init.
Now it boots, but still no radio...

when will be a good working ROM?
Check this thread please.
@TiMiN8R time is limited too.
I know this sounds crazy, but don't stop the sdcard service and some of the RIL services in hijack.sh.. and then see what happens.
The stock RAMdisk already starts some of these
You'll also probably need stock binaries too such as:
hostapd
wpa_supplicant
stock firmware files at /etc/firmware
/etc/wifi/calibration
libhardware_legacy.so
Hope I helped..

Really? Thats very good, congratz. Do you think the method you are using could be used in other Xperia devices? (Ex. Xperia Go)

Yeah I think that it could (and should) work. The only thing is that it is hard testing on a locked bootloader, because if you mess up you have to reflash whole system again, gain root again and all that.
Xperia Go uses different board to Xperia SP (novathor v krait) so it may be a hard task.
I have an Xperia U, which is very similar to Xperia Go as far as I know, just it doesn't charge, I need to solder pins back onto board (long story short water damage). If I can fix it I'll see what I can do.

Do you think it would be possible to use this method to hijack ramdisk on Xperia Z?
It also has a Krait board as Xperia SP.
I want to try porting it to Xperia Z, but I don't have nearly as much experience in developing. So I'd like to know your opinion before I start searching more into the subject
Thanks!

wow!! JUST WOW!! I really like to do it for xperia ZR, I've tried to port omni which was aosp based to cm kernel and it worked with just replacing some libs and it is now perfect! but this process is much more interesting!! for CM11!!
also about that glitches? I think it's because of the hw composer lib, it might appear on logcat too
Hy guys! Really awesome work!
So will there be available CM11 or CM10.2 for XZ1 with lockedbootloader soon?
How could get this working on the z1s.
Thanks

The nightlies have just been released for all your AOSP needs.
download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=z3
Very happy with this news. Trying to find out what is broken considering this is the first release.
Now I am ready to unlock BL. Any guides how to make DRM backup? Or restoring DRM etc? I heard they're lost forever.
Link will be appreciated. Thanks!

There's no method to backup DRM keys...

Yep, you can't backup the DRM keys, but you won't know the difference if you follow the guide to restore DRM functions (camera etc...)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/drm-function-restore-t2995798
Note: you have to modify updater-script in the zip if you want to use with MultiROM or non-CM recovery..
They use "z3" to detect device, but actually it should be "leo"...
If someone can contact to CM team, please tell them to change it.
What are the know issues of the nightlies known so far? I know that RIL now works thanks to David_vaz, but are there any major issues or just random reboots/bugs?
No reboots whatsoever, one thing that is bothering me is I can't play YouTube in 720p & 1080p.. Other than that it's awesome.. Smooth as silk

Same issue here.
I left them a message on their Github page. Maybe they are going to read it, maybe not

But no other issues than that? I read something about the home button not working in some cases.. Which variant do you have ? And does YouTube work when casting to chromecast in 720/1080p ?
I have the D6603..
Where are the files for the dual nothing about and still no update and no bug fix. Sony very late

They choose to use "z3", because Leo was codename of HTC HD2.

Hmm oh ya the luminosity issue.. It's kinda messy but it's okay for me. The home button is working very well right here.. I haven't had any issues with the navigation bar. I have the d6653 variant.. The YouTube casting works as it should..
BTW I think you should flash this Rom with cwm recovery instead of flashing it with twrp to avoid some issues

I know, but it's just a problem for managing and they can avoid it like "leo (z3)".
Also, there is no download for HTC HD2 although there is device tree for it...

They should use "leo" to detect device since it is codename for our device.
It will create futile confusion for devs.

I saw you installed the David Vaz CM build.. Does the flashing using CWM still apply? Or is it fixed with the official CM Nightlies?
Sorry for asking so many questions, but I'm just trying to pinpoint the problems with it before jumping the ship and rooting.. I originally planned on waiting for either the official Lollipop build from Sony, or for the Locked Bootloader exploit to come around.. but if theres a build of CM that seems to be not too many issues with, I might jump the ship

I'm sorry, I thought David vaz's build was almost the same as the nightlies. I haven't tried it yet but I heard the YouTube problem is fixed but the screen brightness still got an error.. Sorry
