What do you mean by that exactly?
ROMs, kernels, general tips?

Get a case, preferably a silicone one. It'll delay the peeling of the back coating by a lot.

If development is what you're after, I recommend that you first unlock your bootloader at http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
After your bootloader is unlocked you should flash a kernel (I'd recommend Siyah Kernel or Advanced stock kernel)
Then flash to your hearts content! ROMs can be found in the All in One thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32978312&postcount=3

That issue must've been caused by a faulty production batch. I've had my T for more than three months now, without a case, and it doesn't have a scratch on its coating.

Need help there is some static sound in loud speaker.

How to get google wallet on xperia T

Google Wallet depends on whether Google activates it for your country or not. It has nothing to do with the phone.

Then that's your carrier blocking it. I seem to recall reading that US phone companies were locking out Google Wallet in the hopes to become the only payment gateway for their users.

You're right, these questions should've probably been asked in their own threads.
Unless, of course, we start a thread called "questions if you want or have an Xperia T"...

[Q] Rooting for Mac

Just wondering if anyone using a Mac has rooted their HTC One? I tried to follow the steps here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2182792 but obviously couldn't run a command prompt for those steps.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I've got a mac and have successfully rooted the HTC One using it. I followed a guide I used previously to root the One X, the steps are exactly the same.
The guide is here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1592922
I think the only step that was different is when you install a recovery, I used one specifically for the One

The best way is to get a real computer and not apples sh!t.

glad someone finally said it. After owning 50 or more apple computers since the IIci, many of which have gone around the world on tours loaded with ProTools with no significant issues at all and many happy customers, I can't understand why I still buy that junk.
I bet a HP would do the job nicely, if they support it a month after I bought it.
your lobotomy is ready.
what an incredibly stupit blanket statement.

Guys, just ignore the troll. If you don't feed it, it will go away.
Successfully rooted all my devices with a Mac. Just need fastboot and adb, everything else is identical to rooting on a PC.
In the development section there is a great post by torx which outlines the steps. But basically you first unlock the bootloader through HTC, then install recovery and flash Superuser or SuperSU in recovery. Then you're unlocked and rooted and can install Rom's.

[Q] How to install mods on a new Xperia Z?

So yesterday I found out about this modification that allows me to take pictures with the volume key button (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2266208). I really wanted this feature, but had no clue what "flash one of the MOD with CWM RECOVERY" meant.
It being my first time, I totally failed haha. I installed a bunch of apps including ROM manager, fastboot etc and I somehow got my phone rooted and CWM recovery working (I think), but update.zip was missing. Tried several ROMs on my SD card, which didn't work. Ultimately, I ended up putting my phone into the horrifying bootloop and I had to wipe the entire phone with software update.
My phone stats:
Model number: C6603
Android version: 4.1.2
Build number: 10.1.1.A.1.253
I have no clue if my phone is locked or unlocked.
My question: how do I install this modification, preferably with a step by step guide from a clean Xperia Z? Thanks in advance!

If you were on 253 from the beginning, you probably never rooted your device because there is no exploit for 253. To root 253 you have to downgrade to 434. Also use Check Root to confirm if your device is rooted before you go trigger happy with apps,

Yes its not confirmed that its tested on. .253. But kingvortex keeps saying that ! Maybe he rooted.the firmware him self . Its confirmed that it works for .343 and. 307
Anyway flashing a firmware is very easy and it takes less than 5 min

Listen dude. Just stop grasping at straws. The tool roots 253 just fine. The remount reboot problem is nothing to do with that. That problem is caused by the RIC service and is nothing to do with Doomlord's tool at all.
Do some research before embarrassing yourself further.
You are the one that decided to try and act clever by coming in here and questioning my post before you had even checked if I was correct or not, purely because I have corrected you for posting incorrect information in other threads. If you think that's "attacking" you, then feel free to report my posts and let a mod decide.
In any case, just stop. You are only making yourself look bad here and I'm not concerned what you think about me.

Sent from my GT-P5110 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

It will root your phone, but will collect and send a lot of data to China in order to do so.
Kingo claim that they no longer collect your IMEI, but say nothing about device ID/serial numbers etc that they have been caught sending unencrypted to their server before.
I do not trust them at all and the fact that their app is currently not allowed on XDA says a lot.
Edit - Also, the guy saying he is too lazy to find out what is wrong with the Kingo app is just the sort of person that creators of malware rely upon to both use and propagate their apps. Laziness is no excuse to use and recommend use of questionable software, ever.

Dude, you sound butthurt really, I did not recommend it in the very first place, I just said that it does the job, and in my case, flawlessly, I don't know about you, but for your kind information,, I have been using doomlord method since the good old x10 days, but recently it doesn't work, so, I have no choice but to resort to kingo, what other choice do I have left? Well maybe there is, but kingo happen to stumble upon me. I never did said that he should be doing the same, but since he was asking, and I happen to have gone through it, I just said it, I even said that they were kind of suspicious, but just wanna let you know, the way you reply doesn't help that much either.
Thanks, and have a nice day

I really don't care what you did to your phone, but suspicious software that is banned from this site is not 'flawless'.
I posted merely to make sure that anyone with any sense that viewed this thread knew of its suspicious nature and stayed away from it.
Finally, just because you are unable to follow the simple instructions for DooMLoRD's method for rooting 67, doesn't mean it doesn't work. It works just fine for me and thousands of others.

Hopefully this will stop the spread of it until they have stopped collecting data from their users.
