[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] encrypt3d:
the thing is i flashed a taiwan rom and my was originally for middle east,, flashed the 307,rooted it, then recieved 197 as ota update, and rooted successfully. but when i search for an update again it doesn't tell me there's any..despite the fact that tx has a 212 newer firmware(which is the one i was before downgrading).. now how can i upgrade to 212 without losing root? and no, there's no 212 via OTA..
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] kyfho:
Hi all. I have an Xperia TX that I have not been able to unlock bootloader on - I can only assume that when the info in the service menu says "bootloader unlock allowed = No" that I can't really do anything - I have tried to find a firmware that I can download to downgrade the bootloader but cannot find one that will do so...

Any help would be greatly appreciated

:confused::confused::confused:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
If it says no then you cannot unlock the bootloader. There us no way around that...

Greg,

Thank you for the link to my recovery thread in your fantastic ALL-IN-ONE encyclopedia thread.

Hopefully we will keep seeing posts like this one I just found ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] profchaos1981:
so this is my phone info ..

how can i tell if its branded or unbranded , routed or unrooted and the most important what is the correct rom in order to reflash it.

I went to the rom section that you adviced me in order to download 4.0.4 but it has too many roms from carriers or generic.I dont want to choose a wrong one and brick my phone.:rolleyes:

According to my phone info what is the correct rom to choose and how can i identify it from now on. This thread is a bless indeed. :good:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Does it have apps from your provider or not

it will be rooted if you rooted it, otherwise it will not be

You tell us, what do you want to flash?

Why do you want to download 4.0.4? you are on a newer firmware now. You need to let us know exactly what you want to do..

1. Do you want to root?

2. Do you want to unlock the bootloader?

3. Do you want a custom or stock based ROM?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] profchaos1981:
i dont want to root either to unlock the bootloader.

My phone came clean.No boot logos or apps from any carrier.So its unbranded.

The fact is that i want to go back to my factory default rom for testing purposes. Just to check the battery management and fast dormancy ..

I am pretty sure that H+ was holding more than 10 seconds when there was not data trafic in 4.0.4.

Now with JB when there is no data trafic changes in a few seconds(less than 10) from H+ to 3g to preserve battery...that causes a minor lag when data trafic occurs and changes back to H+ .

My goal is to get back to my stock firmware.The state before updating to JB .

I just want it to do it with clean install.

is it the same if i do it with repair option from pc companion or bridge (mac) ?

If so there is no need to mess with flashing custom roms .

thank you once more.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Just download and install PCCompanion. Then run the software update and click on repair phone if it says your phone is up to date.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] lewdvig:
I should have checked the service menu instead of buying my Xperia T in good faith, but I didn't and now have a phone with zero attempts left to sim-unlock it. I believe the only solution is to have the carrier unlock it or Sony. Neither of those things is likely.

So is it safe to say I am hooped?

I think I know the answer, but people are figuring out new methods all the time... :silly:

Do you lose data when you root the TL?

Okay so i looked and nobody asked or told if you lose data rooting the TL. If they did then it all got lost in this entirely fattened thread. So I am going to assume that apparently you don't?

IF you do lose data, which data do you lose?

What can you backup?

And how can you back it up?

thank you:confused:

Re: README![Updated 16/1/13][Q&A][ALL IN ONE Xperia T/TX/TL/V Collection] All Welcome

For root, you only need to flash an unsecure kernel an possibly a superuser app. No need to wipe anything but dalvik. For installing custom ROMs, it is preferred to wipe. You'll loose everything, as if you had performed a factory reset. Your apps + data, text messages, call list, etc can be back upped by e.g. Titanium Backup or My backup. A backup of your original ROM can be made with Flashtool, see the All-in-One-thread.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Spectre51:
Re: README![Updated 16/1/13][Q&A][ALL IN ONE Xperia T/TX/TL/V Collection] All Welcome

For the TL you can't flash kernels because the bootloader can't be unlocked.

No you do not lose data rooting the TL.

Is there any hope? Or is it something that simply isnt possible ever for whatever reason. Normally if it can be engineered it can be reverse engineered. But idk much about all this phone and crap so idk. Should I return the phone before my 2 week trial period with it is over or hang onto it and wait till a work around comes out? Thanks

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
@M3lt3mi

You will have to use a paid service to Sim unlock your phone before you can unlock your boot loader. This is down to your carrier not Sony. You could ask them nicely to do it, but it may end up costing you around $10 to $15

@spectre51

Many thanks, if I miss the post please PM me so I can add it to the OP

Great thanks for the info, will ask them for the unlock now, they will do it for free anyway.

Important updates.

New firmware and root methods added.

New TX roms
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] y2grae:
Sorry if this isnt the right place for this but:

xperia T

after inputting the code on phone handset, bootlocker unlock allowed: yes

phone is rooted.

when i goto power off, then vol up + usb, phone just stays black screen, blue led in top left and pc makes the ba-dum noise for usb connecting.

that is all though :(

because of this i cannot unlock bootloader and flash roms it seems.

anyone else in this boat or know the fix?

think one of the programs stated adb might not be right, but with this being new phone, am finding resources hard to come by

edit:

ran flashtool when phone was on, and then power off, vol up + usb added

printscreen
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Have you installed the sdk manager?

EDIT

Also, thats all the phone will do, you have to do the rest from the PC.

Also, make sure there are no other adb programs running, like flashtool.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] y2grae:
i have sdk manager from my htc one x flashing times. will try uninstal and re installing that after work

Hello all,

Having a little difficulty unlocking bootloader, I am following the Sony method and once I reach into fastboot, the instructions say open command box and type the line in but I assume that is adb? How do I access adb, I have installed Flashtool and SDK manager. Never had any experience with Xperia Phones.

Thank you in advance.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Thats a pc thing. The easiest way is to open up the folder where you want the command window. (tools folder within the Android SDK folder; as it says in the sony instructions) Make sure there is no file or folder selected and press shift and right click the mouse. Then choose

open command window here.

That is the easiest way to open a command window in the correct directory.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:

2. run pccompanion

3. when asked to update follow the instructions.

However, if you mean how to return to 7.0.A.1.303 firmware, you will have to restore the backup* you made before flashing the updated firmware, or flash one of the 7.0.A.1.303 ftf files from post number 2 in this thread.

hi T users

i tried to flash cm10 stable via cwm and after installing that i couldnt boot my phone :eek: i then flashed ftf via flashtool and unbricked my phone :victory: but my question is that were u guys able to flash cm10 *(the first custom rom link in OP). If not then kindly tell me a nice and stable and rooted 4.1 based rom
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
You would need to flash the kernel to get that working, which means an unlocked bootloader (I bet you dont have one)

if you want a stable 4.1 version, just flash the stock sony JB update. Found in the all in one thread or some ftf's in the general section.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] waleed794:
But flashing a kernel needs an unlocked bootloader right. Im scared to use cwm cuz i tried to flash cm10 and then it wouldn't even turn on not even the sony logo.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] crazymister:
Re: README![Updated 16/1/13][Q&A][ALL IN ONE Xperia T/TX/TL/V Collection] All Welcome

Stock kernel does not need an unlocked bootloader.

Only custom kernels do.

Stock kernel is even flashable through CWM.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] waleed794:
Let me get this straight first i download and flash a custom rooted JB via cwm then i flash stock JB kernal via cwm then i flash cwm and reboot fix , did i miss anything plz tell me cuz im a giant noob :laugh: btw is cm10 already rooted?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TiMiN8R:
Re: README![Updated 16/1/13][Q&A][ALL IN ONE Xperia T/TX/TL/V Collection] All Welcome

If you download my routed jb you don't have to flash the kernel, it is included in the Rom zip.

You can't flash cm10 on a locked bootloader as it needs a custom kernel.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] waleed794:
Wow thanx for letting me know that. Kindly give ur roms link and i will try it btw do i have flash cwm and reboot fix also?

Edit : im dissapointed at stock jb cuz it has some lags and web browsing is not as smooth as the ics version so i wanted to try some other JBs like cm10 or aosp etc. If therz one which dont needs to install kernal separately kindly let me know
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TiMiN8R:
All the ROMs that you can flash are stock based, so some of the inherent bugs will still be there until Sony irons them out. But for me, despite the issues with music playback, I find jelly bean to be a smoother experience overall.

There are several ROMs you can try in the development section, like the previously mentioned Rooted & Deodexed (which is about as close to stock as you can get) or the beta version of XperimenT, which has bloatware removed and some extra goodies.

Oh and yes, you do need to flash at least the reboot fix, CWM is optional. You can add it later if and when you need it, but only if the reboot fiz is already in place.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] waleed794:
But the kernel in your stock and rooted JB is the old one right?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TiMiN8R:
Re: README![Updated 16/1/13][Q&A][ALL IN ONE Xperia T/TX/TL/V Collection] All Welcome

What do you mean by "old one"? It's the Sony stock .489 jb kernel.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] waleed794:
when i click on extract files using 7zip it gives me an error saying that cannot open as archive . tell me what to do
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] crazymister:
Re: README![Updated 16/1/13][Q&A][ALL IN ONE Xperia T/TX/TL/V Collection] All Welcome

Open the 7-zip browser and type the folder path yourself. Try opening from there
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TiMiN8R:
And if that doesn't work it means the zip is corrupt and you need to re-download.

AOKP is based on CM so main parts work same.

That is different per Rom. Read the specific thread. If you need to flash a kernel it is stated in OP
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] babylonbwoy:
The first time you flash CM ROM or when you switch from CM9 to CM10/CM10.1 you have to flash the kernel separately (extract boot.img from the zip rom package).
