Hi,
I just recently got the xperia TX and would like to root it. I've checked the threads but it seems like all of them revolve around the T. Are they the same thing? Meaning the methods that they use for the T, can I use it for the TX too ?
If not, can anybody knowledgeable point me towards the right thread? Thanks :laugh:
I'm currently on 3.212 FW.
You need to do a bit of reading before you could root your TX.
Check whether your bootlodaer can be unlocked under service menu (*#*#7378423#*#*)
You can find the complete guide on everything about rooting under this threadQ&A][ALL IN ONE Xperia T/TX/TL/V Collection]
I believe Binary method will work on tx, i hope someone with more knowledge rooting tx will reply to help you.
You do not need to be able to unlock the boot loader in order to root.
@OP
Just go ahead and use the method by bin4ry to root your phone

well if you want the latest firmware, update using pccompanion first and then root. If youu dont want the latest firmware, just root it now
I'm TX user, my method, using Flashtool flash your tx to 7.0.A.1.307 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1933755), then root (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460), install cwm (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2007741), and download XperimenT version 1.7.1 with locked bootloader or you can choose other rom, probably this the the only best 1 for TX user in my opinion. After flashing with cwm then flash with this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2114664) using cwm. reboot, everything done. hope it will help you.

Root and CWM methods that worked perfectly on Xperia T with JB :good:. But now with 7.0.A.3.197 ICS on Xperia TX...fail... I changed the Xperia T with TX because of appearance, but now I miss JB and root. Any suggestions? Thank you!

Upgrade to JB and use Bin4rys method to root.
JB has not yet appeared for TX. I do not understand why Sony has not updated both models T and TX together . Understand that there is no root method for ICS 7.0.A.3.197?
Apologies, I thought you had a T, my mistake.
Instead downgrade to a .305 firmware, then root that, then flash a rooted .197 firmware or an ics rooted Rom for the T and flash the tx fix

Thanks, but I think I'll wait 1-2 weeks to officially appear JB for TX :crying:

Mmm.. TX user still can't upgrade to Jelly bean. Sony say first of april only can get jelly bean for TX. Other than patient I don't know what else can be done. Root and CWM only work well on 7.0.A.1.307.
yup, same thing im doing. waiting for jellybean to root with binary's method. hopefully all the major bugs are fixed on jellybean. camera quick launch bug really bothers me, it's one of the most distinctive features of Sony and yet they managed to screw that up for over a year now.
Sony developers are really not doing their jobs properly. Took over 3 updates for the xperia S to get rid of the camera quick launch and after that, they don't apply the same fix to the newer phones? Really shocks me.

download flashtool (just google it) and then goto the driver folder in the installation path and run drivers.exe.
choose TX, fastboot and flashmode drivers.
Big thank you!

There's not much difference between 4.1 and 4.3 to be honest, so you might as well just stick with stock 4.1 if you don't like the aesthetics of custom roms.

Noobs get the whistle if they missed to find a thread and open a 2., while this is subject of 87 different threads. :silly:
Hey guys, i'm new to xperia. Using xperia tx.. i read most off the threads on xda, i dont get what i should do after rooting the device to flash cm 10.1 (in between like cwm and kernel stuff). most of the material here refers to xperia T only. Can someone help?

Unlock your bootloader if you want to flash a custom rom....

The general process (after rooting) on most phones is to enter recovery, flash the ROM + Gapps, plus any other specific procedure specified by the OP.
Just FYI, I tried CM10.1 and CM10.2; phone doesn't vibrate and main camera doesn't focus/take pictures. I wouldn't recommend any of those two, but you can always try them out.
Also you can try CM10.2 and CM11 for Xperia TX LT29i Hayabusa, just go to FXP Home page :
http://fxpblog.co/blue-platform/sony-xperia-tx/
I don't know why FXP not posting this ROM for Xperia TX here, but ROM is up to date like Other Xperia (especially Blue platform)

Sony's 4.3 has always had lag when installing apps.
No way to fix it that I know of. Its a lot better in 4.4 custom roms though still occasionally get a lag when installing from play store but doesnt freeze the whole phone.

Same version number but thats all, Sony messed up 4.3 badly hence why we had so many versions of it (including their internal test versions).
