So the rumors ive heard before was false? There are some people in xda told me that unlocking the bootloader will lose be2 and drm keys? I dont know which thread.. I cant remember it anymore. But im sure its was on xda's forum.

In album and movies apk

thank for the info,
i will do it once i found the rom i like

awesome! thank you. worked flawlessly

Seems that i'm not lucky today.
I tried to relock my bootloader, process goes ok but now my phone is bricked.
i hope to find a solution but everything i tried until now failed: SUS, PC companion, flashing a new one, ...
Edit: After several attempts, i successfuly flashed a stock ROM and the phone is working again... :good:

I bet you had a custom kernel installed...
Sent from my C6903 using xda premium

Yes, you're right.

can anyone confirm that the Bravia Engine stops working after an unlock, and if it does, does this method makes it work again?

How do I replace an apk from an FTF?

Hi,
I would like to learn if it's possible to extract the Sony default home screen app and replace it with modified version (which has more home screen, etc) and then flash back without rooting?
Sent from my LT30p using xda app-developers app

I think you can open the ftf file with winrar, modify it, save it.

Not quite that simple.
You need you need to extract the system.sin from the ftf.
Follow this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1723284
However, instead of using unyaffs, i dump the .sin as an .ext4 and use ext2explorer to browse within it.

1 question. After modifying the .ftf, say changing the launcher to another stock, do I need locked bootloader or unlocked one to flash it.

locked bootloader will be fine. You should flash the ftf in flashtool

What if I add apps without replacing any apps? As long as those apps don't require su will that be okay?

Should be, try and it and see. I think it may depend on which app it is...I have not added apps to an ftf before without replacing them with the ones already there and changing the names to the ones I have replaced.

I know this is very old topic, but would like to know if anyone succeeded in doing this?

When is it coming ? Jan the 31st ....So today ?ok Not today but weeks later http://www.xperiablog.net/2013/01/3...oming-firmware-version-9-1-a-0-489-certified/ better late then never though I wouldn't expect never for such a new phone that would be just ridiculous

Just out of interest, when an FTF file becomes available, could you then flash it with flashtool on a stock ICS locked bootloader?
Judging by past firmware updates, it's taken 2/3 months for Orange to push an update.

Yes, or you could flash the 303 generic UK and ota to current. You'll then get jelly when Sony says not ee.

I wonder how I flashed my V with its locked bootloader to Xperia VL's firmware using Flashtool, then.
All you need is matching signatures, and all similar models share them.

Yes good news

Sorry but you've got that wrong, you can use flashtool to flash an official ftf onto a phone with a locked bootloader, I've done it loads of times with my xperia's. In essence if your locked to a network orange, t-mobile ect then you can get the region generic ftf and flash it with flashtool to debrand your phone
What you can't do is flash custom ROMs which require a custom kernel.

Thanks for the responses guys, I thought it would be possible, the only reason I ask is that I've flashed ICS firmwares to the T in the past, but wasn't sure with it being a different version of the OS.

Please read before continuing to facepalm yourself.
Flashtool does not require your bootloader to be unlocked. It also does not even you require your phone ot be rooted.
Flashtool can be used on any xperia phone regardless. It does not require fastboot

So this is 4.1? I got the update in sony bridge, but updating means I lose my root right? (locked bootloader)

Yes when you update to different firmware you will lost the root privilege

Not always, there are ways around it. But in general yes.
Once the new firmware hits users with locked bootloaders we will see if we lose root, but then we will also find a way to root the newfirmware or find a way to update that does not lose root.

Root Xperia T on JB 4.3 with locked booloader

Hello friends, i have a Xperia TL with a locked bootloader, i want to flash stock firmware Android 4.3 to my device via flashtool.
But how can i root my decive before i flash this rom. I have a locked bootloader and it says "allowed= NO".
I need to root because i want to restore my apps and data.

Why don't read "Xperia T, TL, TX, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting" first thread?

If you flash it with flashtool it's easy... Just disselect data wipe and then you don't need to restore your data or apps.

No, if you flash FW via flashtool, the root is lost.
I think you should :
1. Back up ur app by titanium backup.
2. Download 4.1.2 stock FW LT30at from HERE
3. Download newest 4.3 Unbrand and flash it via flash tool (u must choose exclude baseband)
4. Root it by my tool
5. Restore app
If root fail at 4.3, u can flash 4.1.2 stock then root and restore app. Good luck

Thank you again.. If root doesn't work.. Is there another method to root? I wanna stay on 4.3.

Nice try.
It installs a bunch of Chinese bloatware, language can't be changed and root CAN'T be obtained.
As much as I could understand it's a tool for MTK hardware and uses restore for root, and it doesn't work.

:silly:
dear a_new_day, i was wondering if you would have a 'tool' for Xperia V (LT25i). I was searching the forums for a version that would work on my newly installed FM 9.2.A.1.199, JB 4.3. Your thread came up and I was hopeful but I read through it and it's for Xperia T :crying:
as of present I haven't yet found a working one for the new FM. I hope that DoomLord will soon come to the rescue...
thanks for whatever help/thread/link you can give. it's my only way to tweak the phone so as to increase the LIMIT number on SMS sent.
