HOW TO UNLOCK BOOT LOADER AND UPDATE NEW ROM.

1st ROOT  MOBILE.​
2nd INSTALL BUSYBOX.​
3rd DOWNLOAD THE XRECORY AND MOVE THAT TO SDCARD.​
I Have Already Explain Deeply about these 3 Steps in my previous post.​
So If you have any doubt see my previous post.​
ok before that​
i have already shown about how to update the android os on my previous post.​
Here is also i am going to tell about the updation of android os.​
But what is the Difference between that and this.​
ya, here we are going to unlock the boot loader.​
By unlock boot loader, it is used for change the kernel​
By changing the kernel, we have install the latest rom even android v4.1(Jelly Bean)​
By Unlock boot loader and changing kernel the mobile will work good and fast.​
We are going to totally change the OS.​
IT IS LITTLE RISKY TOO, ITS VOID YOUR WARRANTY.​
CAUTION: SO I AM NOT RESPONSIBILITY OF ANY PROBLEM.​
BUT I HAVE DONE AND ITS WORKING SUPERB.​
SO U HAVE TO INSTALL VERY CAREFULLY ON EACH STEP.​
For ur convenient i have attach link blow:​
To Root We need    : x8Toolbox​
Password for x8toolbox.zip file is: "irukaveandiyathutha"​
While rooting turn off your antivirus.​
To know about How to ROOT see my Previous blog. u must root for further move.​
Install Root Explorer that also in previous blog.​
After that,  Install Busybox From Android Market.​
Ok now u have to save the xrecovery file on system/bin.​
After install busybox download the : xrecovery  files and move it to ur sdcard.​
This is very important step on saving xrecovery files on system/bin.​
After dowloading exract the file, it have BUSYBOX, CHARGEMON, CHARGER, XRECOVERY.TAR​
Send the four file to sdcard from your computer.​
Then open the Root Explorer V2.19 which is already you installed.​
Goto sdcard copy the BUSYBOX, CHARGEMON, CHARGER, XRECOVERY.TAR where you stored already.​
Press the back button, goto system and then bin,  Paste the copied file to system-->bin-->​
Next step is very important we want to set the permission for that four files.​
If we not set correct permission your mobile will hang on sony ericsson logo during start up.​
For each four file we have to set the permission.​
Press and hold the file, a popup will appear, In that select the PERMISSIONS.​
SEE THE BELOW PICTURE

U HAVE TO SET PERMISSION LIKE ABOVE PICTURE FOR EACH FILE.​
For detail Explain see my previous post.​
BOOT LOADER:​
Here is the Link  For :  BOOT LOADER​
Download the boot loader from the above link and extract that.​
and Then​
Open Boot Loader​
​​
In that there is have "msm7227_semc.cmd"   file.​
Open that file. (Before that Turn off your antivirus program if you install in your computer.)​
Before open that file U have to goto  Setting-->Application-->Development-->TICK THE USB DEBUG.​
​​
Because antivirus shows as virus while unlocking. Dont Worry it is not virus.​
Now open msm7227_semc.cmd file.​
A Command Prompt will open like above picture.

Now Connect the USB  cable to your mobile and ur computer.​
After connecting, Click any key to continue......​
It will unlock ur mobile in few Seconds.

FLASH TOOL​
Next We Need flash tool​
Flash tool is used to flash the kernel.​
Here Is the Link For:  FLASH TOOL​
Now we are going to flash the default kernel.​
Before that we need new kernel.​
There is have lot of kernel,​
But I suggest "nAa kernel v14."​
Here is the link for:  nAa kernel v14.​
After downloading flash tool and kernel.​
Open the Flash tool,  see the below picture.​

Extract the nAa kernel v14 file.​
Now You have to put the nAa kernel v14 extracted file to firmware folder, i shown below.​

The Selected area is the firmware folder, you have to copy the nAa kernel v14 file and paste it​
to that firmware folder.​
ROM:​
Now we need ROM.​
I attach the the android 2.3.7 ROM​
which name as: MiniCM7-2.2.1​
For all types of roms and kernels click here: Roms and Kernels​
After Downloading the ROM send that ROM to your sdcard.​
In this ROM we did'nt have Google apps,​
Here is the link for : Google Apps​
After downloading the Google apps send that zip file to your sdcard.

ok​
We​
ROOTED THE MOBILE​
INSTALLED THE BUSYBOX​
SAVED THE XRECOVERY FILE.​
UNLOCKED THE MOBILE USING BOOT LOADER.​
​​
Now We are going to flash the Default Kernel and install the new kernel.​
Open the Flash tool you already download and Extracted.​
Click the X10FlashTool.exe in that folder.​
A popup will appear:​
Click the Flash Button, on the top Left corner.

A another popup will appear.​
Select the nAa-14 kernel. which is selected in the above picture.​
Before Clicking the OK button.​
you have to goto.....   Setting-->Application-->Development-->TICK THE USB DEBUG.​
Now switch off your mobile. (make sure you have send the MiniCM7-2.2.1 ROM and Google apps to your sdcard.)​
Connect the USB cable to your computer. (dont connect to mobile until it says.)​
Now You have to click the OK button.​
After clicking a popup will appear. seen below.​
​​
Then press the back button and hold it,  and then Connect the USB cable to your mobile.​
Less than a 5sec it flash your old kernel and install the new kernel.​
​​
After install unplug the USB cable.

Now as usual​
Turn on your mobile.​
This time you did'nt get Sony ericsson logo.​
Apart from that you can able to see nAa logo.​
If you seen the nAa logo while turn on, then press the back button multiple time until it goto Clockwork mode.​
After enter the Clockwork mode use volume button to scroll up/down and home key to select.​
select the FACTORY RESET(some thing like that)--> YES (to reset the custom rom)​
Then goto INSTALL CUSTOM ZIP-->CHOOSE CUSTOM ZIP FOM SDCARD-->select MiniCM7-2.2.1-shakira.ZIP by using home key, ( you can choose what ever rom you like).​
Now your rom will installed it may take some time.​
After install sucessfully, reboot your device.​
Again you have to come to clockwork mode. (by pressing back button multiple time.)​
To install Google apps.​
Now goto INSTALL CUSTOM ZIP-->CHOOSE CUSTOM ZIP FOM SDCARD-->select gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip by using home key.​
After install sucessfully, reboot your device, 1st start up may be take some more time.​
This Rom works very fast.​
To work fast goto Setting-->Display-->Animation--> select the No animation.​
After that goto Default Browser-->Setting-->Enable plugin--> tick OFF.​
If you done this 2 steps, your mobile will works fast.​
Here is Some Screenshot of MiniCM7-2.2.1-shakira ROM.​
