I think I'm taking my xperia T back tomorrow :(. Every other morning I wake up and it's crashed, I have to hold the volume up key to turn it on. Has anyone else come back to their phone to find it's crashed? Sony's ignoring the issue on their forums, a few people have posted the same problem. I can't rely on it for the alarm, or if work's called me. I have to constantly check to make sure it hasn't crashed. It's done this right off the bat out of the box before DL any apps.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Many thanks for the links. I am currently without a computer for a few days so I will update this thread early next week with the links your have shared. as for links which are dead you need to contact whoever uploaded the ftf's, I only shared their upload links.

Sounds like your do have a driver problem. Bin4ry's method is very easy so if there is a problem then it's probably with how your phone is connecting to the computer. Please can you share with us what flashtool says when you connect the phone to the computer both when it is turned on and in flash mode

Hello all,

Just wondering about flashing this new firmware with the s1 boot update.

I am using cm10 at the mo with unlocked boot loader.

In order for me to change back to stock do I need to fastboot a stock kernel? Or will the stock kernel file be written when I flash the s1 update ftf file with flashtool?

Cheers,

Lunar.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Make sure you are on a xperia T if you are updating the S1 boot.

Anyway, ypu should just be able to flash the s1 boot ftf and reboot. If you get a bootloop just flash the CM10 kernel via fastboot..
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] lunarjetman1:
Thanks for the info.

I thought I may just go back to stock for a little while.

I have the full stock ftf (de) one that doomlord provided. So I can just flash that without worrying about fastboot?

Sorry to be a pain.

Cheers,

Lunar.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Yes, if you flash that in flashtool it will have kernel files in it. If its completely stock then you do not need an unlocked bootloader to flash it, because the files have been signed by Sony.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] cmajetic:
thanks for the awesome thread, i have a question about creating a backup of my original firmware.

in the tutorial http://mytechencounters.wordpress.c...eate-an-ftf-file-of-your-xperia-ics-firmware/

is says the 3 biggest files and they all begin with FILE_ but i have 4 of them in my blob_fs folder, should i take all 4 FILE_ or ignore the last one?

EDIT: 2nd problem: flashtool doesn`t find the copied files, when i select the right folder it shows nothing inside but there are the 3 files...
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
The three biggest files are enough, but the fourth file is an update to your boot do you can include it if you want.

in flashtool, just select the folder and it will see them even if it doesn't on the select folder bit, that's because it's looking for folders not files

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] cmajetic:
thanks it worked :)

one more question: 2 days ago i updated to .223 and i took the files from blob_fs and did not do an extra update after it to create my firmware, so what firmware do i have now created? .195 what i had before or .223?

if you want i can upload it, it is .195 or .223 austria generic (this means unbranded right? :))
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
If you used the files after you updated then its 223. It would be great if you could upload it and I will link it the OP. Generic means ubranded

Hi guys

I've asked that question already in CM10 topic but maybe it's more general so here it goes again here:

"I've been wondering if it's possible to set up the lock screen the way that first comes the slide and afterwards pin or pattern? I've read somewhere on that forum that with CM10 it should be doable but I can't find the way to do it. I'm using FXP201."

Are you familiar with such mechanism?

flashtools not detecting xperia t in flashmode!?

I'm trying to flash my phone to .303 then root + cwm then flash my .195 with cwm to keep my root.

However my laptop (Win7) and Desktop (Win8) wont allow me to install the standard android_winusb.inf which sony supply!

I try Right click 'Computer' > Properties > Devices Manager

Then i find the phone as 'Mass Storage Device' (Recognized it was the phone as it would disappear when the phone was disconnected vice versa)

I tried Right Click > Update Drivers then choosing the standard android_winusb.inf however it would not let me install it and said windows had the best driver already installed :/

It's saying it on both the laptop and desktop, what should I do?

Later tomorrow I will try on my Windows XP Desktop and then see what happens. Just downloading the adt-bundle-windows (android sdk) so i should have all the necessary files ready for tomorrow.

I have flashtools, sony pc companion, android sdk.

I have tried using the Gordon Gates to install the driver's however when I go into flash mode with the Xperia T (Holding the Volume Up, then inserting the US) I think I am at the flash mode? but the pc does not detect it, I have the flashtool from sony for xperia (Emma) and the normal flashtools for xperia but they both do not detect the phone in flashmode, however it is detected in flashtools when I turn on the debugging option.

adb devices too detects it....

So what can I do?

Thanks

posted this on another thread but would just like to post on the main thread. Thanks.

Apologies folks,

My laptop that i have all my work (XDA related) stored ob belongs to my workplace, and since it went pear shaped on me over the holidays I have been waiting to get back into work for them to fix it, however, they are sending it away and have given me spare laptop which is completely locked down. I cant even get the install wizard to run without an admin password, so untill I get my machine back I am will be slightly out of the loop on here.

Hopefully they wont just format it or reinstall everything. I have backups of my work, but will need to hack into a new laptop again in order to be able to install anything, and since i need to give this loan one back I will have to wait untill I get mine back. But at least I have PC access to the internet now:)

However, if you just want to flash a stock ftf then you can do that in flashtool no problem

Having trouble on my Xperia T (LT30, locked bootloader).

Flashed a .303 .ftf with the flashing tool. (This One) But when I attempt to install CWM (tried 2 different ones) the terminal outputs:

Then it just closes when I hit any key.

Any ideas on this one? Been searching for a while now. I'm wondering if root access is even available.

EDIT: It just occured to me now that those are .195 .ftfs, the thread titles are wrong in the ftf section of the OP of this thread.

EDIT 2: Right, after that I figured it out. So some of the ftfs listed under 303 in the OP are in fact 195s. Flashed a 303, then rooted it using the Androxy tool, then was able to install CWM and do the rest.

Noob Questions

Hi gregbradley and all,

Thanks for your hard work and suggesting I post here.

I have rooted my phone, so thank you for the links to instructions.

How do I doubled check? I have installed a SuperSU app, so I assume it is working.

Your first instruction is to Create your own stock FTF - if I do this I get upgraded to 195, which I assume is bad, as it is harder to keep root.

Should I first follow black97one's " [HOW TO] KEEP ROOT on 7.0.A.3.195 FW via OTA Update"? Is that safe to do without my own FTF?

I have downloaded a 303 FTF from your list

When should I install "CWM for locked bootloaders"? After this update to 195?

I assume that even though my phone says: Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says "Yes"

I should not be looking to unlock the bootloader, if I have no reason for it?

Do I have a reason, there are stock roms which do not require it I assume that Sony say it may invalidate the warranty.

My intention is to stick with Stock and await JB? Should I switch to SM and await their version of JBean?

Thanks,

icstm

Due to my post count I cannot reply to thread mentioned below, so I am asking here, as the link to that thread was from this one.

CWM for locked bootloaders by Sharaz22

A) Download here: http://www.mediafire.com/?885wnu7x259r5q3

1) CWM Flashable Zip: http://www.mediafire.com/?5qdmrqpppmqsi97

2) Flashable Superuser: http://www.mediafire.com/?22zetxlmoh2hgj2

3) Flash this after flashing rom otherwise your phone will keep rebooting if you try to edit system files: http://www.mediafire.com/?1pxba0sjo2n3gzu

If I understand correctly, A) installs a new and improved recovery console on the phone.

What do 1-3 do?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Download the free version of titanium backup and run it. If it works you have root access. Titanium is a very useful app to have anyway, look on google play for it.

Yes follow those instructions to keep root. It is safe to do without your original ftf. Basically you can update to 195 via pccompanion, create your own ftf from that. Then root again (By going to 303 FW) and use your 195 FTF with black97one's instructions to upgrade and keep root.

Before (I think, follow the instructions in Black97one's thread)

Unlocking your bootloader is a personal choice and depends on what you want to do with the phone. If you want to use custom kernels (Including those based on stock kernels) then you need to unlock. This also means you need to unlock to flash any custom ROM that needs a custom kernel (e.g. cyanogenmod [CM], MUIU, KXP etc). Also, if you want to OC/UV/UC your device you will need to unlock. It does void your warrenty though. Some ROMs do not need it, those based on stock ftf (Such as my ROM) do not require it.

Thats up to you. If you mean CM then they already have a JB rom out (CM10.1) but you will have to unlock your bootloader to flash it. The official JB ROM from Sony is due Q1 2013, so if they are on time no more than 90 days to wait.

Step A Downloads a recovery, you should then install it

Step 1 After flashing a rom you will lose recovery after a reboot, however, untill you reboot recovery is still on your system, so flashing this in recovery will re~install recovery so it remains after the reboot.

Step 2 Installs the app that manages whether other apps gain root access or not

Step 3 Installs a small fix for a bug that kept rebooting the phone when you edited system files.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Not that I know of. Which ftf did you flash?

Have you unlocked your bootloader?

If you flashed the ftf without excluding the kernel it would flash the stock kernel, hence you would lose recovery that is installed on your custom kernel.

Hi,

I was able to make my own ftf (.223) for Xperia T with flashtool, but I just can't flash it with .303. As first, there is no drag&drop, I have to put .ftf in firmware folder, than choose it from the list inside flashtool. When I try to connect phone with pressing vol down (or up?) sometimes I get error or phone just disconnects.

Could it be driver problem as I have Win8? I haven't tried with Sony's flashtool yet, I'll do that tonight.

I want to root phone just to copy some data from old phone using TB, after that I would prefer unroot phone to 'normal' state. If that means I can skip some steps I won't mind :)

Sorry for language, English is not my native language.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Update your flashtool. Flashtool has supported dragging and dropping ftf into the window for some time now. The prompt will say "drag and drop ftf here for flashing" or something similar

Its volume down to connect in flashmode

Yes, there are issues with drivers and win 8. Apparently there is an option on boot to be able to disable driver signature checks or something...there are quite a few threads on that.

Let us know how you get on
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Provi2010:
This one with drag&drop is odd, I have the latest flashtool version 0.9.10.1, got it from androxyde web page. After i press flash icon, I choose flashmode and than Central Europe .303 ftf in firmwares folder (this ftf is probably closest to the one I have now, if that matters?). This part I tried with and without phone connected.

Than I disconnect phone, power off, press vol down and plug in usb cable. I hold volume for a few more seconds, then error appears. This is log:

When I go help/check drivers I get a name (code?) in the list of ADB devices, but list of fastboot devices is empty.
