Yes, that is correct. Flashing it as I type...

thanks mate!!!
lets try try first!!!

anyone able to root with gingerbreak?

Could you please try to root using Gingerbreak? Thanks.

is this a full image or just the system.img (in order not to wipe data and apps) ?
thanks

yes it is a full image, flash using flashtool, and it will wipe everything, so make sure you backup your files, and rooting doesn't work on this firmware unfortunately

Awsmness thank u

thanks.
I'm familiar with fastboot to flash but not flashtool.
- the HK Rom zip file has two files in it. Do I use them as is or do I need to build a tft file as I read somewhere?
- what do you use to backup your apps and not having to reinstall everything ?
Thanks again

ignore my previous request. I found this and separate thread

Hi here's a guide for flashing a Firmware on Xperia Arc using Flashtool. Below are the links:
Instructions -- http://www.theandroidsoul.com/tutori...-on-xperia-arc
Video guide -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmmThXTWu74
</quote>

actually still needs to make the tft file from the two files in the zip...

one request:
why dont u guys use rar/7zip to compress these files?
ftf files compress by almost 30% to 70% if u use 7zip (LZMA ultra high compression)
would save a lot of bandwidth, upload & download time...
see:
~280 MB compressed to ~150MB

erm can someone make the rom rootable by using the previous method, not by using gingerbreak?

Worked great using Flashtool method
Boots in like under 10 seconds now. Extremely fast. Even launcherpro seems to be running smoother. Bloatware is a bit of a negative though easily remedied. Facebook integration is there but tbh makes no difference to me

many thanks～～

I decided to share with you
THE MODIFIED VERSION !!!
I recommend the one in lendscape mode, but for those who just want bootanimation in portrait mode (slightly elongated ).... I made it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bootanimation made from sample model hTC One X
Enjoy

I make a bootanimation sound...
android_sound.mp3
After download, rename android_audio.mp3.zip to android_audio.mp3

Looks profesh
Gnna give this a try

I've tried on my DHD with virtuous quattro beta 8, but it won't work, I get a black screen during bootanim...
Can someone help me? Thanks

Rename the zip to bootanimation.zip, this should work. It's not flashable btw, it has to be copy pasted (in AOSP the location is system/media I think..).

Thanks for the reply, but this what I've already done.
Rename to bootanimation.zip, put in system/media and replace the stock bootanim, change the permissions...
But still won't work...

Problem is, it says the zip file is empty, How do i remove the .zip extension as when renaming it only displays as Android_audio.mp3

ell, it says the zip is empty because it's not actually a zip file. That's mp3 file just called with .zip
You just need to erase ".zip" from its name and it will work

[TOOL][FASTBOOT] QuikIMG - A frontend for fastboot [0.2 beta][22 Mar]

QuikIMG
A small tool I made to flash .img files through fastboot easily and quickly, without the need to type in commands manually. Originally I only made it for personal use but I decided to release it here. Someone might find this useful.
Q: FlashTool has this feature. Why bother?
A: Just because I can. Use whichever you prefer.

Actually, you didn't have to rename them.

You can also open the CMD in the fastboot directory, type:
Code:
fastboot flash boot
Then drag the .img from your download folder to the CMD window and it will enter the full path for you (with quotes if required).

Dragging doesn't work. You must put the .img file into /QuikIMG/images/ folder.

Hey, nice work!

Phil @ DHYMusic

Suggestion: make this application download updated files from some server.
Example:
Client Side
versions.xml
Code:
<toolbox>
<file>
<name>ClockWork Mod Image File</name>
<version>6.0.3.0</version>
</file>
<file>
...
</file>
</toolbox>
On every application start, check all file versions. If new files are available, download and replace them with the new ones.
Server Side
versions.xml
Code:
<toolbox>
<file>
<name>ClockWork Mod Image File</name>
<version>6.0.3.1</version>
<download>LINK_TO_SOME_ONLINE_STORAGE</download>
</file>
<file>
...
</file>
</toolbox>
I can help with coding.

Please write me a PM, cause i don't know implement that :/

If you want to root your phone, go to recovery mode (turn off --> push volume down button + power button, don't release until recovery mode start), select adb sideload, connect your phone tp your pc, then selec root in AiO.

short guide ,
1. First, extract ftf file using winrar / 7zip , you just need system.sin ,
2. open flashtool - > Tools -> Sin Editor - select system.sin - > Extract data,
3. You will get system.ext4 file.
4. Using ext2xplore you able to view and extract file from there . (file attached)
Hope its help. & Happy Modding

Thanks for the quick guide, but I'm facing a small problem. The program can't detect/open the .ext4 file of the firmware. Tried compatibility mode, running with/without administrator rights, both on windows xp and 7. Nothing. Any solutions?
