Confusion on the bootloader and root Xperia Ray

Hi.Im using Xperia Ray with ICS 4.0.4
But I have a few questions that I got confused

1. What is the difference between the root and the locked bootloader?
2. How do I know if the bootloader of my phone is locked or unlocked?

3. If I want to overclock my phone or the Flash custom rom, am I just that root my phone or I need to unlock my bootloader as well?

Thank you!

(1) the bootloader is a small piece of code that is used to load an operating system

While

Root is the access to the base of the system files. It is a procedure that grants you admin/root on our mobile access.

After rooting, you can change any file inside your operating system

To protect the Android operating system against corruption, it is read-only, but after rooting, it becomes writable as well

(2) (2) connecter connect to companion pc, then try to update

If the pc companion shows that the software is average updated the bootloader is unlocked

Even stock track ID stop after the unlocking of the boot

(3) to flash rom custom, you must unlock the trunk, but just to overclock, you could do with the root so

Although custom cores are best suited for overclocking

  • Confused with the Versions and updates

    I'm relatively new to vmware and I'm getting used to our current configuration I find myself confused.

    As I am connected to VMware Infrastructure Client, I click on help and VMware Infrastructure. He says the customer is build version 2.5.0 147704 and Virtual Center is 2.5.0 build 147633.

    When I look at my hosts, I see they are VMware ESX Server 3.5.0 176894

    My question is, how do I update my hosts and also VMware Infrastructure, as appropriate.

    I'm a bit confused, because I went through a class for vSphere 4 and I'm trying to understand the differences between the two.

    Welcome to the Forums-Yes, it's confusing ESX 3.5 and Virtual Center 2.5 are the previous version of the flagship product of VMware and were components of Virtual Infrastructure 3, also called VI - 3 - with the release of the new version of VMware brings everything up to a common version 4 number so ESX/ESXi is now version 4-Virtual Center is now version 4 as well and has a new name vCenter - and are components of vSphere - love anywhere with the software updates you get the better performance and new features such as VMware Fault Tolerance, distributed switches, 8 vCPUs and 256Go maximum for virtual machines.

  • confusion with the categories and types of backups

    Hello

    I started studying the RMAN and I'm getting a little confused with the backups... ask someone to clarify the following queries:

    1. HOT times and COLD backup strategies perform BACKUPSET BACKUP and COPY of the IMAGE?

    2 about the HOT water and COLD backup, are they only associated with the FULL backup?

    3. incremental backup are also HOT or COLD backup?

    4. incremental has 2 types: Cumilative and differentiated?


    I'm a bit confused with the above...

    Help, please.

    Concerning
    KK

    Whether HOT or COLD:
    BACKUP DATABASE will create BACKUPSETs

    (this default value can be overridden if you have set up the TYPE of DEVICE...) BACKUP TYPE to... where the backup type can be changed by default for the COPY.

    Whether HOT or COLD:
    DATABASE BACKUP AS COPY will create Copies of the Image

    An incremental backup can be a HOT or a COLD backup.

  • Confusion on the CRS and the IPCC

    Hello

    Can someone tell me what the difference is when between CRS and IPCC express. I think they're both packages of programs. IPCC express includes CTI ACD IVR but CRS includes IPCC IQM IVR. is this correct.? CRS includes a version of the full IPCC?

    CRS = IPCC Express.

    Cisco crossed a few names of marketing before arriving at the IPCC Express.

    IPCC Express has 3 levels of functionality controlled by licensing:

    Standard - full IVR/ACD... call base and collect.

    Enhanced - Std more skills based routing and much more

    Premium - integration Std, Enchd, as well as DB for self-service applications (think Bank on the type of phone apps).

  • Confused over the upgrades and full versions for Windows 8 on a virtual machine

    Hello

    I am wanting to legally install Windows 8 or 8.1 on a virtual computer. When I look at the Microsoft pages only, they seem to offer Windows 8 one update and I can't find a way to the purchase of a previous version either. Is anyone able to point me to an explanation in plain English what I should buy.

    Thanks for your help.

    If you need to install Windows 8 in a virtual machine, you must purchase the full version of license OEM System Builder. If you need to install Windows 8.1 in a virtual machine, you can buy the license of retail sales (which is a full version) or OEM System Builder License.

  • How to root my Xperia Ray (ST8i)

    I have the android 2.3.4 version and build number 4.0.2.A.0.62

    My bootloader is locked.

    The only method i Know is to downgrade to 4.0.2.A.0.42 or go to the ICS and root then it.

    is there another method?

    If I flash my rom downgrade/upgrade to level then I lose all my data/setings etc.?

    If so how all backup and restore?

    Please explain!

    Don't forget the rooting may void your warranty, and you do so at your own risk

    There are 2 methods, one you know and the other changes the nuclei.

    Download the rom 4.0.2.a.0.42 and flash only its core, then root using any method

    Then again, flash back, the core of 0.62 and you will have a rooted 0.62

    You know how the nuclei flashk and firmwares?

    Flash firmwares, see How Downgrade part and to see how Flash just the kernel, see how root 4.0.4

  • The elements and the SQL Types

    I just started learning apex and I'm confused about the application and page elements. Since they can serve as a kind of variables in the SQL and PL/SQL (for example, by using the syntax variables bind), at some point they should be prescribed a type, since SQL and PL/SQL are two strongly typed languages.

    It seems that the items have types, see the documentation (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e11947/bldapp.htm#BCEDCGGH), but I don't know how they correspond to the SQL types.

    For example, I saw that to_date is always used with items of type date picker, implying that it is a string of SQL type.

    So the question. What have SQL type apex page/application parts, is what type conversion do I need to use when dealing with items in SQL and PL/SQL?

    They are all VARCHAR2 (4000) as far as I know - anything application are the same and the page elements is adjustable in number or date more. Put date or number will include only internal validation, check whether the format is match the parameters of globalization of applications.
