[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] MrKwint:
I'm very happy with my Xperia T :), I don't have any problems at all.

I rooted by Xperia T in like 3 clicks, waited 30sec and done.

You can get the stock rom back, but Sony can see if you unlocked the phone.

I have the same opinion as dully79, although I think the screen is excellent, of course a AMOLED screen has nicer colors, but this screen awesome!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
rooting and unlocking are different.

Sony cannot tell if you have rooted if you unroot or flash a stock rom afterwards.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Pollie81:
so, just to be sure..

it is possible to root and install custom roms, revert it back to stock and send it to sony for waranty?

makes it a difference if you had unlocked bootloader or not?

anyway, thank you all for your help..

my tax refund arrived so i can order my new phone now! :D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
not quite

you can root and install stock based custom roms and revert back to stock and send off to sony for warrenty

if you unlock your bootloader you void your warrenty! And currently you cannot revert back without sony still having ways of knowing knowing
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Pollie81:
thank you for clearing that up..

too bad, as far as i read so far doomkernel seems really great but it needs unlocked bootloader.

we will see, the stock xperia t will be awesome for me coming from LG optimus black..

and xperia t seems to be the best choice for me, within my budget there's also the very old SGSII or the HTC one S but rooting seems to be much more risky with this phone. And there is the LG optimus 4xHD.. also old, great hardware but support on xda seems to be less than xperia t.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] dully79:
I came from the SGS2, if it wasn't for Samsung being the new Apple and treating treating users like a steaming pile i would still be using it. An amazing piece of kit let down by their greed and lack of support for developers.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Pollie81:
hello guys,

today i recieved my T and i'm very happy so far..

first i did the JB update and then i got it rooted and installed cwm.

everything went like it should but i've got one problem, superuser keeps asking permission for root. even if i check or uncheck remember.. it doesn't matter. everytime i open an app that need root acces is asks me if i want to grant..

and another issue i had, i installed stock deodexed .140 from gregbradley and that went good but also one minor problem here.. i couldn't get in recovery anymore..

so for now i'm back to stock rooted but want i want to go to a custom rom.

also i discovered that there is no reboot option behind the power button and when i install a reboot app, it doesn't work.

i tried to search for possible solutions but couldn't find any..

thanks!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] dully79:
Despite everywhere saying to enter recovery you need to tap "UP" during Sony logo, i had to hold "down" to enter recovery.

I use quick boot from the play store. The main thing i've noticed is you cannot reboot into recovery, there must be something missing from the app that prevents it.

It would be nice to enter straight into recovery, i might have a look into it when i get time.

Quick boot link
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] matt4321:
It's to do with our phones having a joint kernel and recovery partition rather than a separate recovery partition that's easy to boot into from an app
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Pollie81:
i still got a lot to learn.. i've got some 1,5 year experience on xda (using, not developing) with the LG Optimus Black but this is way different.

but it's a seriously cool phone!

Hello, Can anyone tell me which ICS ROM should I download for my Xperia TX, for Bangladeshi users? I need to downgrade my Xperia TX from JB to ICS for some reasons.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] matt4321:
I don't think there is a Bangladeshi specific FTF around here, should have made a backup.

You can always use one of these TX FTF's if you wanted though:

but in each case phone freezes in sony logo or free xperia logo. tried different kernels also. but no luck. someone please help me!!!! how to make my phone ok ????
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Repair it in pccompanion.

If you cannot do that then flash a backup you made.

If not use flashtool to flash a .489 ftf (Make sure to wipe data) and then let us know what happens

Xperia T update

Hey,

I am from India and I am a student. I own Xperia x8 and it is fully customized. But now I plan to change to Xperia T. But the phone hasn't launched in India as yet so I'm planning to buy it from eBay. I've been doing some research before buying. My budget is max 19K ie $315(US). Leave that aside though, my question is how do I update my phone to official jelly bean without the PC Companion and using the flashtool. I found a tutorial on this page: http://www.android.gs/update-sony-xperia-t-lt30p-official-android-4-1-2-jelly-bean/

But I want to know whether it is safe? Is there any guarantee that my phone will be updated without any problems? If there is any problem I'll get into serious trouble as Sony Service Centre in India won't even except the phone!!! Is this method safe for phone bought from any part of the world and completely region free? Or is there any better method out there on xda which is completely risk FREE? Please let me know! You can email me or comment here! Thank You guys! Please help me!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Mad Marty:

I tried searching the net for 'Xperia T India' but I couldn't find a thing. So I just want to be sure about the flash tool method mentioned in the above link. Has anyone done that before?

Hi, I just got back from CM to Stock. Now I used an olderer TFT file to get back to the stock software. Now I can't update my Xperia T. I tried it both by OTA and with PC companion.

Is it because the bootloader is unlocked, or did I screwed something up?

You cannot update officially if you have unlocked the bootloader.

Either flash a ftf for the latest version, or flash a stock based custom Rom, or relock your bootloader and them update using pccompanion

Hi there. I'm having troubles flashing anything to my Xperia Z with Flashtool.

1. Are you rooted? I believe I am; I followed & completed this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2162907 and then performed a TA backup using this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2278544 before learning that my device is not boot unlockable.

2. Have you unlocked the bootloader? Not possible for my phone.

3. What ROM are you on? Stock from T-Mobile. My build number is 10.1.1.B.0.166

4. Which kernel are you on? Stock from T-Mobile. Kernel version says: 3.4.0-g6df7905-02327-g1aa3092 BuildUser@BuildHost) ) #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Apr 11 11:17:13 2013

5. What were you doing just before the problem happened? While in the Flashtool I select the options for the FTF I'm trying to flash and I get to the "Wait for Flashmode" screen and plug my phone in while it's off and I'm holding the volume down button, but Flashtool never continues

6. How can we recreate the problem? See #5

7. What have you done so far to fix it? When I first tried to boot into Flashmode my 64bit Windows 7 told me that I didn't have the drivers. I installed the drivers prescribed in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17500852&postcount=6. When I look at the drivers, there is a folder for Amd64 and x86, but I'm on a 64bit Intel processor so I don't think either of these apply to me which I think is my problem. I've tried searching for the appropriate drivers, but have found many dead links on the forums and not the drivers.

8. Attach any logcats you have. I've no logcats, but I don't know that they're applicable in this instance

Edit: **** **** ****; I'm in a boot loop. All I get is Sony, then blank, then black, then Sony, etc. I figured out how to get the correct drivers using the Flashtool drivers executable so I flashed this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2356455 FTF.

Edit2: Holy ****, got out of boot loop by flashing the original FTF back on it. Now I just need to figure out which FTF I'm suppose to actually use for http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2251512. The issue is probably specific T-Mobile so I'm not sure you'll know how to help. That boot loop was a little scary though!

Reading through all of these posts has left me a little more confused. I think my problem is confusion of terms in this thread, my apologies.

I travel US/UK much and would like to just take one phone.

I do not want to install a custom rom unless necessary.

Can I unlock my phone without "purchasing an unlock code"?

My old i970 worked great, and obtaining the unlock code was easy. - Upgraded to the LT30at.

I want to use my US sim while stateside, and purchase a data/text only sim from wherever while I am in the UK.

I will go back and re-read the noob stuff just to make sure I didn't miss something.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Mad Marty:
Sim locks are placed by your provider . There is no (legal) way to unlock sim, except for asking your provider. Here in the Netherlands you have to pay as long as you are under contract, once your contract has expired you can obtain a code for free. Don't know how it is in the UK though!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
In the UK you ask the provider.

SIM unlocking us totally different to the software unlocking we deal with here in xda.

Speak to your provider if you want to SIM unlock.

Unlocking the software will NOT unlock the SIM
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] kammus:
Sorry if I was unclear.

I do not want to unlock the sim.

I want to use multiple sim's in my one phone.

I don't want to use ATT in UK

I will buy a prepaid sim in UK for the time I am there.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Using multiple SIM cards from different providers means you need a SIM unlocked phone. Its nothing to do with software unlocking, rooting, bootloaders, custom roms or anything else on XDA. You need to ask your provider to unlock it. In the uk you can pay for it, in some countries it is illegal

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Find a stock 9.1.A.1.141 FTF from post of this thread. (Follow the links)

Download and install flashtool from the first post in the dev section

Flash the ftf but ensure you tick the boxes to flash everything except the kernel.

This will update your kernel to the same version as the ROM.

Or, since you have already unlocked your bootloader you may as well flash a custom kernel. (You have thrown away your warrenty so you may as well get the benefit from it)

Download a custom kernel from the dev section (I recommend doomkernel, but there are others) and flash it in recovery.

Wipe cache etc, you should be fine

Thank you for your hard work here, have fun with the new phone!

I'd be willing to take over this thread but recently I've found it hard to find time to work on my own ROM, let alone to maintain this as well. It could sure use some reworking and updating.

I know what you mean, its very hard to keep it going at once.

Hopefully someone will take over this thread. But I will do my best in the mean time.

PS, Vodafone UK never fail. My Z1 has an unlockable bootloader. If anyone really wants to get their bootloader unlocked, go for a contract with Vodafone, that's 4 consecutive devices I have had that all allow the bootloader to be unlocked.
