Sony’s new flagship device, the Xperia S, is the first to run on Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon S3 SoC. Though Sony already made the bootloader available, the company felt the urge to release a manual for those eager to build their own Android roms.
Sony has been providing bootloaders for pretty much all Xperia devices the company released over the past twelve months. This move also influenced HTC which started to provide bootloaders shortly after Sony (Ericsson) did. The option to put custom roms on a device is important to a lot of consumers that purchase an Android device.
