Hmm, Not sure about removing Timescape as I think that's the actual UI. Guess you will have to experiment. Not sure if you will lose root privileges when updating to ICS. Suspect when you do that it will update the image on your phone so in theory, I guess you could. Guess you could reroot the phone if necessary.

Hi
Just wondering, if I update to i c s when the official sony rom is released, will I loose the root privilidges?
Currently, is removing the sony timescape stuff likely to cause me any problems.
Keith. Were you definitely able to root your Xperia Pro. If so, how did you do it? Am assuming that you first had to unlock the bootloader?

Keith. Got all of the Java dependencies installed. Think I even have the drivers working However, am having issues trying to get Fastboot going. Am wondering if I need to install something on the Android SDK. Here's what happens when I follow the instructions to the letter. Am fine until I try to use Fastboot.
'fastboot.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command
Have installed all of the Tools in the Android SDK manager. Not sure what else to try?

Hi Phil,
I have unlocked the xperia pro.
You are right, you need to unlock the boot loader first.
What \I found was that I had to get some java packages before adb would run on the windows pc.
It was a bit nerve wracking but after I sorted out the java stuff and got adb working, the instructions then worked.

OK. Figured this out now. Firstly, downloaded the Android SDK file for Windows called:
installer_r16-windows.exe
Tried running the installer and that cleverly told me that I required some Java files. So, I downloaded the following file and installed it:
jdk-6u25-windows-x64.exe
Also downloaded the X86 file:
jdk-6u25-windows-i586.exe
However, didn't need that. Again ran the:
installer_r16-windows.exe
file once I had the X64 Java installed And that ran fine this time. Downloaded all of the various tools required in the Android SDK manager including the USB drivers etc. Copied the:
Directory as suggested in Sony's instructions. Turned my phone off and pressed the menu key when booting the phone as suggested for the Xperia Pro. Expected a Window to pop up, telling me that I didn't have drivers. That didn't happen but, found an unknown device in device manager so, installed the drivers for that from the:
"Open a command window and go to the tools folder within the Android SDK folder."
That should read:
"Open a command window and go to the platform-tools folder within the Android SDK folder."
Because that's where Fastboot.exe and other files that are required to do this, actually reside. Successfully unlocked the bootloader. Was informed in the command prompt that I had managed to do this. Pretty easy to do.

Hmm, am wondering if I got around that issue by pointing it to the platform-tools directory? What is the name of the image file? Didn't get any error messages and it told me that it had unlocked the phone in 4 seconds. Also, after I did this and turned the phone back on, I was placed beckon the set-up screen and had to reinstall accessibility etc. Finally, still can't remove some apps such as Facebook and Get Apps, Get Games etc. Think that's normal though as Sony say something about that on their website. Have you had any success removing any of the above?

Phil,
I had something similar.
I found that I needed to run the commands from the android sdk directory and I had to copy the fastboot.exe file to that directory.
So what I did was to move fastboot from the zip file to the directory where sdk is installed.
I also had to copy the boot immage file to the sdk directory.
So, in short, you need to move fastboot and the boot immage file to the same place and be in that directory when you run the fastboot command.
Also, I presume that when you installed sdk it went and got some extra packages?

Did you actually carry on and follow the rooting procedure or have you just unlocked the boot loader?
After you unlock the boot loader, you need to go back to the page I linked to and follow the rest of the rooting instructions. This involves downloading a rom immage from one of the links and using fast boot to load that rom in to the phone.
Then you need to install busybox from the android market.
#Sounds like you have stopped at the bootloader unlocking part.
From memory, the file you need is xperiaproroot.zip but there is a link to it from the page I linked to.
When you have done all this, you need to get an app to remove what you don't want, I got root uninstaller pro but there are other options.
Once you have done all this, you can uninstall anything you like.

If you do carry on and root it, you do not need to follow those instructions as part of the zip archive you will download contains the stk or as they call it adb files which you already have.
What I did was to get the zip file and the only file in there you should need is the boot immage as you already have the fastboot and drivers from the boot loader unlocking.
So just copy the immage to the directory you used to unlock the bootloader and off you go.
#By the way, I had to unlock the boot loader wtice as when I carried on with the rooting, it complained that the boot loader was still locked although I never got any errors during the boot loader unlock.
I removed a lot of the apps that were starting automatically, all the facebook apps have gone and fun and games. It does make it boot quicker and I think that battery life is better now.
Be careful when you are typing in the final string of commands. You should not get any error messages. Some of them produce no response and others give you a confirmation but if it complains, that is a problem.

Phil,
Did you actually carry on and follow the rooting procedure or have you just unlocked the boot loader?
After you unlock the boot loader, you need to go back to the page I linked to and follow the rest of the rooting instructions. This involves downloading a rom immage from one of the links and using fast boot to load that rom in to the phone.
Then you need to install busybox from the android market.
#Sounds like you have stopped at the bootloader unlocking part.
From memory, the file you need is xperiaproroot.zip but there is a link to it from the page I linked to.
When you have done all this, you need to get an app to remove what you don't want, I got root uninstaller pro but there are other options.
Once you have done all this, you can uninstall anything you like.

Mostly, yes although, when you have rooted and start the phone, you will have no accessibility on the phone.
I had my daughter with me although, she is not really a techy but it was handy to make sure that the indicators on the phone were doing the right thing.
Now that I have done it once, I would not worry too much next time but if you do have a go, don't blame me if it causes you problems.

OK. Getting as far as the part where I need to use the ADB shell. Try to do that and I get an error: device not found ADB shell
Not sure what else to try. Have tried taking out the battery and going back to step 6 in the instructions. Did you have this particular issue?

Phil,
If you do carry on and root it, you do not need to follow those instructions as part of the zip archive you will download contains the stk or as they call it adb files which you already have.
What I did was to get the zip file and the only file in there you should need is the boot immage as you already have the fastboot and drivers from the boot loader unlocking.
So just copy the immage to the directory you used to unlock the bootloader and off you go.
#By the way, I had to unlock the boot loader wtice as when I carried on with the rooting, it complained that the boot loader was still locked although I never got any errors during the boot loader unlock.
I removed a lot of the apps that were starting automatically, all the facebook apps have gone and fun and games. It does make it boot quicker and I think that battery life is better now.
Be careful when you are typing in the final string of commands. You should not get any error messages. Some of them produce no response and others give you a confirmation but if it complains, that is a problem.

Yes, it's there. This error message can happen. Not sure exactly why though. Have tried disconnecting the battery and USB then, going back to step 6. Actually using the:
C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
Directory as that's easier.

Phil,
I take it you are working from the platform tools directory.
There should be a file in there called adb.exe. This is the shell file.
Is that file present?
If not you will need to find that file.
I will go and see if it is contained in one of the zip files, otherwise it may be a download option in the sdk.

Yes, it's there. This error message can happen. Not sure exactly why though. Have tried disconnecting the battery and USB then, going back to step 6. Actually using the:
C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
Directory as that's easier.

Phil,
I take it you are working from the platform tools directory.
There should be a file in there called adb.exe. This is the shell file.
Is that file present?
If not you will need to find that file.
I will go and see if it is contained in one of the zip files, otherwise it may be a download option in the sdk.
