Please Help!!

Hi everyone,I installed CM 10.1 on my phone but after son bugs I tried to install CM 10.2 on my xperia V but I made a mistake, I used boot.img from the 10.2 zip and I tried to install it like the first time using /cmd terminal, but when enter in fastboot reboot, the phone did not reboot on recovery mode and it doesn't reboot at all, always I press the power button the led turns on red 3 times but it is charged (that's not the problem). Also I tried to flash the original firmware of xperia V but flashtool doesnt recognize it....I don't know what to do...PLEASE HELP!!!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Hard reset, charge it for several hours, then use fastboot to install the correct kernel for your phone.

After that it should boot.

Try the cm10 kernel for your phone, or try stock kernel and then flash a stock ftf

[MENTION=5569127]ricardoct91[/MENTION]: The cm 10.2 may have the same bug on the xperia V than on xperia T : the built is not ok.. the boot.img is broken. Yesterday I was very frustrated too.. Apparently, in the case of the T, the boot.img is broken as far as 12. november nightlies.. In another thread, there was a note that the nightly of today would have a new boot.img, which should work..
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] dusyant:
hey i have lt30 sony t .

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Put it on charge for 24 hours and then try to turn it on
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] dusyant:
i put that charging 24 hour. but nothing can be happen.

hey. how i fix bootfailure. this is very serious problem? please give me solution yaar.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
You charged it for 24 hours in only 18 hour time period, that's impressive....

However, once you have done that use pccompanion to repair the phone (If you have a locked bootloader) or flash a stock FTF with flashtool if you an unlocked bootloader

Neither method requires the phone to turn on
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] dusyant:
but

please ask me step by step method. because i m new in this. n i have 0 knowledge about it..

after charging of 24 hours.what to do? which next step i do after 24 hour charging?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Install pccompanion (Google it), click on software update and follow the instructions.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] MrKwint:
Not sure if this is already posted here, but 2 months ago or something I resetted my phone from CM to stock. Then suddenly my bootloader was unlocked.

Today I resetted my phone again, and my bootloader is not locked anymore :D

Maybe this works for other people?!

Edit:

Now I want to unlock my bootloader, but when I'm entering fastboot mode (Vol Up -> plug usb in) nothing happens. So I turn the phone on and rebooted it into fastboot with flashtool, but the blue light will only light for like 5 seconds and then start the phone again. Someone knows why this happens and/or have an other way of getting into fastboot mode?!

Edit again:

Fixed it all :D, was working on a win8 pc and didn't got the drivers working because it rebooted to fast. On windows 7 the phone didn't needed to be connected that long.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Mad Marty:
If you installed CM (and it worked) then your bootloader was of course unlocked beforehand. So nothing new there.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] dusyant:
what is CM?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Try google.

CyanogenMod = CM
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] hhamzah49:
I cant get into fastboot mode :(! I recently found a way to get into fastboot mode but i forgot it. I tried vol+ and connect doesnt work, also tried after hard reset, doesnt work neither. can someone help?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
try holding volume up, connect USB, keep holding power up and now press power untill it vibrates, then release all buttons.

Also, ensure you have all drivers installed on your laptop and you are not running windows 8

Hey!

I want to revert my Xperia V from CM back to stock firmware. Unfortunately, the respective backup got deleted in an accident when I cleaned up my external hard drive :eek:. I found the helpfull list of ftf firmwares, but I am unsure which one to use since there seems to be quite a diversity. I have an unbranded phone, so I downloaded the intl generic firmware. Does it matter which one I use? Since there is just one CM firmware for all devices, I assume that it indeed doesn't matter, but I'd rather be sure.

Thanks for any help!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Mad Marty:
It indeed doesn't matter. The different firmwares are just different localizations and provider specific firmwares (i.e. containing provider bloatware), so with a generic firmware you should be set to go :)

After Flashing

Dear XDA Developers, thank you for all of your work and help. I was able to flash my Xperia TL (AT&T) today, after "accidentally" bricking it last night. Everything seems to work, except I have no access to internal memory (disk 0), I do have access to SD card via Anttek Explorer and such, but Gallery app doesn't open and camera app can only save to SD card. Is it possible to recover files off of that "partition" or do I have to lose everything due to reformatting? Thank you!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] HvdW:
Fastboot missing something

Hi,

Maybe a noob question, but I cannot find the answer.

I want to install the new T-4.3 etc .zip

Did everything acoording to instructions on the forum.

Even was able to make my phone lie dead.

Even was able to recover the poor thing.

Two questions:

First question.

In fastboot mode I want to flash 4.3 to my phone

the command:

fastboot devices reports the presence of my phone

fastboot flash T-4.3_leak_278-DooMLoRD.zip does not work

fastboot flash zip T-4.3_leak_278-DooMLoRD.zip tells me that the partition does not exist.

what is the magic spell to make things happen.

Second question.

How com that the Sony connect software and Emma cannot make contact to my T bird and adb, fastboot and flashtool have no problem at all finding my phone.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] matt4321:
You need to flash the zip in recovery
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] HvdW:
Thank you very much for your answer. (the phone IS in recovery, everything is set, and now?)

The fact of the matter is that I cannot get the damned thing into recovery.

I can push the vol- repeatedly as indicateded but it starts up like, like..... an Experia T
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] matt4321:
flash update from sdcard > choose zip from sdcard > then flash it wherever it is located

what recovery do you have installed? is your bootloader unlocked?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] HvdW:
Bootloader unlocked etc. All done

Recovery from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2012738 for JB

Didn't inform well in the first post recovery installed, but phone doesn't startup in recovery.

My Desire simply gets into recovery, nice menu to flash whatever I want, but my T bird has never been flying that way.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] im_iceman:
Full on noob question from me... been out of the modding game for about 12 months or so and completely forgotten everything I ever knew... so.. I've unlocked the bootloader on my T.. but haven't yet done anything else.. what do people recommend in terms of;

A/ recovery options - flashing CWM (which one, where from?) or flashing a custom kernel via fastboot with recovery built in etc..

B/ Best ROM to go for? Optirom? CM? MIUI?

Thanks.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] MrKwint:
My Xperia T is t-mobile branded, can I flash a unbranded (or vodafone branded) TFT file?

I want 4.3! :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Mad Marty:
Yes

NOOB QUESTION: Can I use flashtool to flash 4.3 on xperia T LOCKED bootloader?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] DaRk-L0rD:
Of course you can! ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] nks13:
But here( http://developer.sonymobile.com/services/flash-tool/use-the-flash-tool-for-xperia-devices/ ) it says that your device should have unlocked bootloader, isn't it?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] DaRk-L0rD:
Why you have to use the one from Sony bro? Search for flashtool on xda
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] nks13:
Thought it was the same. Thanks man

Hi,

Firstly, sorry for my english. I have several problem with my Xperia TX LT29i and I'm still noob in android rooting and so on.

I have rooting my locked device using doomlord before the root was lose after update to android 4.3. Then, I trying to rooting it back, but my

device cannot be rooted anymore. Then, I trying to search the problem and I found that I need to unlock the bootloader before can use flashtool.

I've success to unlocked bootloader for my phone but I've stuck here and little bit confuse for my next step.

So, I really hope somebody can guide me what I need to do step by step and provide me with link and things that I need to use...

I already backup my device using titanium backup but I cannot use that apps to restore back because my phone still unroot...

If I'm wrong and make mistake...please inform me...thanks
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Mad Marty:
If your bootloader is unlocked, you can just flash the kernel from the leaked rom (by Doomlord) via fastboot and then a SuperSU zip from recovery.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] chroniches:
thank you very much sir...

I think i already able to reroot my device again..:victory:

It's quiet difficult in a start and i almost give up, however i able to resolve all the problem myself..thanks to this forum again...

As a newbie in this android world, i think i have gain a quiet much knowledge and looking forward to explore more...:laugh:

thanks again...

Hi everybody

After updating my Xperia t, pc can't recognize it and charger works only when it is switched off. Also I can boot not to flash mode nor fastboot mode. The led turns green but after a few seconds it goes to charging and can't go to.flash. Charger and cable has no issue and works fine with another phones. The rom was official and I flashed with flash boot. Can I do something to solve it?

Thanks for your help
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Mad Marty:
Did you try repairing your phone from PC Companion?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] noorbakhshamin:
as I said pc can't recognize it
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Mad Marty:
Sorry, just missed that tiny problem ;)

I would first try to install a stock ROM using Flashtool. Install the drivers from Flashtool's driver-folder.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] noorbakhshamin:
thanks for your help. But when I try to boot on flash mode, green led is turned off after a few seconds and it turns red and began to charge. and when I plug USB when phone is on, nothing happens (No charging, No file transfer ability, etc). These problems occurred since I installed 4.3 (Central Europe) version via flash tool. But other features of phone works correctly. Also USB cable has no issue and works fine with other phones.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] trusting:
Hi,

I have an unlocked LTi25 with CM10.2 installed. Few days ago I charged it overnight but not with the original charger (started at ~60%). Next morning the device was off and didn't want to boot. It only vibrates und flashes a green LED once in about 3 seconds of pressing the power button.

When the device is connected to the PC, it's immediately in flashmode (green LED) without pressing volume down at plugging in. So I successfully tried to flash other firmwares in flashmode, but nothing changed.

By hitting the volume up button when plugging in I managed to connect in fastbootmode and flashed the CM again. But when rebooting the device, the vibration is gone, but the LED is still there.

I charged the battery with an external charger directly -> The Sony logo appeared but it was off again. Since here, the display didn't turn up again.

I used also the official Sony softwares:

EMMA: "no available services"

Update Service (after relocking the bootloader): no updates available

PC Companion: not possible, because a running system is needed

I also read the [GUIDE] "Recover 2012 and newer XPERIAs from SOFT-brick" but nothing helped.

Any suggestions what to try for next step?

Thank you in advance.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Mad Marty:
Let it charge (preferably on the original wall charger) for at least 24 hours, then try to turn it on again.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] trusting:
I charged it for days now. Nothing changed.

If the battery is very low, the red LED appears for few minutes. After that it's off and when plugging in again the LED is green for full charged or flashmode. But actually the battery is still empty.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Mad Marty:
Did you try the rubber band method? Put a rubber band around your phone to make sure the power button stays pressed and then charge

Root permissions on 'omniROM'

May be this is a silly question. I'm new these things.

I flashed a omniRom (omni-4.4.3-20140607-tsubasa-NIGHTLY) to my xperia v. Everything went smooth and it works fine. But there is no any superSU or superuser visible. When checked with a root checker it says 'terminal is rooted, no application superuser is found'.

1. Doesn't the omniROM come with superSU or superuser?

2. If so how to install super user?

Thanks in advance....

3x4 keyboard?

Is there a way to get the 4x3 keyboard (like Xperia-keyboard)?

Im running Experia V with [ROM][V][UB][KitKat][4.4.4] Paranoid Android (AOSPA) Unofficial and so its rooted and unlocked.

And cant find any alternative keyboards that have what Im looking for.

Have tried i keyboard installs like Z, Z1, Z2 and a few other i cant remember. None of them have 4x3 and/or crash when trying to use.

What am i missing?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Hello folks,

I know you all think this thread is probably dead and it has not been updated in a long time. That is because of my moderating duties I really cannot get time to cover my old devices.

It would be really great if someone with some more recent knowledge on this device wants to step up and take over this thread.

I am sure there is a lot of new and exciting stuff to be added to the first few pages. It would be great for someone new, an old and or anyone who just wants to contribute.

Anyone interested please PM me

Thanks

Cannot get in recovery mode :(

Sony Xperia V. I was unlocked bootloader and check it - it is unlocked. After this phone settings was default`ed. Then I rooted the phone and installed superuser. It`s a 4.1.2 JB 9.1.A.1.140. Then I installed recovery menu as it`s said in FAQ in all in one post, and install.bat said that it`s installed and all is ok. But I can't go in recovery menu to flash another ROM. I tried tricks with "adb shell su", but it`s not helped. I tried all the variant how to get in, how it`s said in FAQ, but it isn`t working for me WTF I`m doing wrong? Can I check is there recovery installed? Maybe "install.bat" is only saying, that it`s installed, but it`s not? )

Tried to flash from flashtool to ICS, rooted again, supersu again, installed recovery for ICS, adb shell su allowed, but it`s not getting in recovery :( It`s vibrating after I`m pushing volume down, LED at the start is blue, after this it`s green, and...phone restarts and going into normal mode :(((((((

Can I install cyagenmode in another way, not with CWM?

heh, solved. Maybe it will be useful for someone...I was rooted my phone with towelroot, and few root checkers said, that device is rooted. Rooted again with DoomLord, and...It`s working now )

New ftf's for xperia TL (Thanks spectre51)

Reorganised the ftf section.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] baz@gmx.co.uk:
Hi Greg, your guide has been very useful a few times now so thanks,

I would like to know a little more about CM nightly roms, I have seen them mentioned but have no idea what or where they are, is it possible to pool some information here? I am thinking about opening a general thread for the FXP cm Rom but I am still a little new to this phone so am just waiting until I understand what I am talking about a little more!!!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Thanks for the thanks! Glad I helped

I dont think this is the place for that.

CM have their own site dedicated to changelog for CM roms and so do FXP team; that is the correct place for that. As for nightlies, it wouldnt be possible to keep up with that here. If you want to try and keep a thread going, be my guest, but as the fxp team say, they do not read non-dev threads so you may find yourself just asking people to read the dev thread and repoty bugs on the bugtracker anyway.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] vinss68:
is it possible to create an ftf files of a custom rom for locked bootloader with your technic?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
No, we cannot create .sin files inside the .ftf's files without the keys that Sony have.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] vinss68:
ok and there no possibility to make anything in flash mode or install the recovery with LB
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Not at the moment.

Custom kennels need an unlocked bootloader. Stock based rooms need a working recovery, and the only way to get recovery (at the moment) is via a custom kernel.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] vinss68:
ok ok it's a castration ... will play with my x10 to consolate me
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:

Added working relock ftf file for TX. See post 2 in bootloader section. Thanks maxx228
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] hkjr:
will this forum also support the TL or will it get its own?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Probably not.

At the moment this forum is for the Xperia T/TX/TL

They are the same phone just for different regions and as such have slightly different setups so not all mods/roms from one will work on another, but essentially it is the same phone thats why xda will only give it one forum
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] hkjr:
Thanks. As long as it's confirmed anywhere that the TL is rootable, I can live with that.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Spectre51:
Rootable so far. Hoping the next update doesn't break that like it did for the latest XT firmware.

Sent from my Sony Xperia™ TL
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
It probably will as the only way to unlock the T on the new firmware is via unlocking the bootloader, so with the TL not being able to be unlocked it doesn't look good
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
MAJOR BUMP>

Stable CM10 released in the last few hours!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Link in post 3 under custom roms, xperia T

This is a major advance in custom roms for the T, and its amazing how quick this has been managed for a new device. Congratulations to all the FXP and CM team.

Also, new stock .ftf's added for UK generic and more in the noob guide.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] chibikit:
Considering how unlocking the bootloader is now the only available option for rooting your phone, I'd like to ask the following questions regarding unlocking:

1) Are there really DRM keys that are completely and irreversibly lost if you unlock the bootloader?

2) Would Sony-specific apps (eg. Walkman, Sony Select, TrackID, Timescape, etc) stop working if you unlock the bootloader?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
1) Yes. Official unlock loses track id.

2) Walkman, sony select (AFAIK), and timescape still work. Not track ID

There are other ways to root, you can downgrade from 7.0.A.3.195 to 7.0.A.1.303 and root using bin4rys method. Then DO NOT upgrade.

If you want latest firmware you must unlock bootloader
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] chibikit:
1) Will using one of the relock-your-bootloader .FTFs restore functionality?

2) If not, is there a way to back up the DRM keys somehow?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] :
what do you mean by track id doesn't work? thanx
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
I mean it wont work. Unlocking bootloader via official way means it wont work.

http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] :
track id works for me with unlocked bootloader. that's why i asked.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Spectre51:
I had previously unlocked the bootloader of my XS and Track ID still worked fine. I have heard that album info download will not work with an unlocked bootloader though. I think many others have confirmed that TrackID still works with unlocked bootloader. Personally I never experienced anything not working but I did not load music on my phone and try to have it download album info.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Apologies, it was early this morning, I meant download track info and album art
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] chibikit:
Perhaps it would be a good idea to put the info you've given me on unlocking the bootloader in the noob guide? It was information that I found hard to verify ir corroborate until now, and I'm guessing there are probably a few people out there who would like a definitive reference for the info.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Its all on the sony website. I dont think there is any need to replicate it here. Its the first hit in a google search for

"Unlock bootloader sony"

But I will add a warning to the guide that people should be aware of potential performance/warrenty issues if they unlock
