Hello everybody.
I'm new in this forum, and sorry if my english is bad, because this isn't my language.
Well, I have that Sony Xperia TX written in the title, i tried to use the others methods described in this forum to root it, but had no success.
If somebody know something to help me, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks everyone.:good:
PS: I attached a picture from my xperia with some informations that somebody needs to help me.

after downgrade you can also use CWM to flashing anything you like. Flashing XperimenT 1.7.1 is the best way after you root your device.

Incorrect, you can use flashtool to flash stock FTF's from Sony.

Of course.

Hello Guys...This is a stock rooted (CF SuperSU) with busybox rom for LT29i.
The Rom is pretty stock. Only modifications were to root and zipalign the rom. As there are not loads of stock roms in .zip for the TX i though i'd give it a go for those who want a stock rooted rom
Click Here to Download For Odexed ¦ Click here to Download for Deodexed
Installation Instuctions:
1) Downgrade to ealiest 1.307 Rom by flashing an FTF (Obivously backup anything first) through flashtool
2) Root using Bin4ry's method
3) Flash CWM for Locked Bootloader (am using a version 6.0..x.x)
4) Install Zip from SD Card my Rom you downloaded from CWM
5) Install Zip from SD Card a flashable version of CWM
6)Flash This after flashing rom otherwise your phone will keep rebooting if you try to edit system files (Thanks to Sharaz22 for this link and Leo for reporting the issue and solution)
7) Flash a 3.212 FTF through Flashtool again (exclude everthing except kernel). This will get you back to latest kernel
1.307 FTF, 3.212 FTF, bin4ry's root method and CWM installation can be found in Gregbradley's all in one thread in Q&A
For those already having root and CWM on an earlier version you need only start from step 4
Credits:
Thanks to Gregbradley for this precious help...this was my first time cooking :good:
Thanks to Dogsly for this 3.212 FTF from which this Rom was extracted
Thanks to all other persons who helped indirectly

This goes without saying. I will not be responsible for a bricking, damage or explosions that may happen
I hope that you guys enjoy it...Hit thanks if you do
Well done, glad you finally got there with this and glad I could help

Follow the instructions in the OP and you will end up with this ROM and it will be rooted. But you need to follow those instructions precisely.

Hi,
I have stock 212 and unlocked bootloader and Advanced Stock Kernel V5 (from here, I thought that with installing that kernel I would have root on 212.. wrong).
Since I got already CWM, can I just flash your ROM or do I need to follow all the steps from OP?
Thanks!

currently the only way is to unlock your bootloader.
But you could try flashing the .140 stock kernel, rooting using bin4rys method, then flashing the .141 kernel back. I have heard people talk about that method but not heard anyone say it has been successful yet
so easy
i've got a tool
i can email to you
i am freshman here
i cant reply direct link

From the last threads, If I understand well, I guess the best method method is the following :
1- To come back to .140
2- To root it with Bin4ry's method
3- To install the .141 rooted and deodexed proposed by TiMiN8R
Am I right ?

Yes, after rooting though you need to install recovery for locked bootloader in irder to flash the .141 .zip from Timin8r

no, just flash a .140 ftf from the all in one thread using flashtool
EDIT but if you are doing that to root it, there is no need, just use the latest doomlord version to root on .141

Follow the topic, you can update first without root if you like, but you still need to get back on 257 to root anyway.

First revert back to .534 (Hope you know how to downgrade and flash ftf's using flashtool, if you don't please let me know),
Then root it using Kingo,
Install XZDual Recovery,
Then proceed with the link mentioned above.

Don't worry and welcome to Xperia
You'd have to flash the FTF first. So flash .534 FTF and install XZDualRecovery before proceeding with the thread you've mentioned and do the steps provided there

That link aint working not sure if I can extract the ftf from my phone which is unlocked. Talked to doomlord and it seems rooting doesnt make you lose your drm keys but unlocking the bootloader does, you need root to get the TA backup

Hey guys quick question, i am currently living with my long suffering firmware that is jellybean...the phones needing a good clean out and update!
So i was wondering if there is a UK regional FTF for the latest kit kat?
BUT ALSO! i have seen generic ES (Spain) Regional FTFs for Kit Kat and i will be moving to Spain in September.. so should i just go a head and flash that? i don't know the difference between ES & UK (not that i have managed to find a UK version, maybe someone could point me in the right direction)
Also are these FTFs available for rooting? my phone is currently rooted with CWM and will most likely want to re-root after i have flashed with flashtools..
sorry to ask such nooby questions
Thanks

I had rooted using the old school method because towelroot was not availabe then
Towelroot will work to root and its the easiest way at the moment.
After rooting just download and install SuperSU from play store.
After flashing firmware Bootloader wont be locked again
Kernel and Root are two different things
You will have to flash recovery again though as flashing firmware will remove the recovery
You can get the recovery from here
Dont follow root instructions from the link as you will be rooted after using towelroot
