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.

I have read these forums til I've got a head ache! Can someone recommend a couple ROM that are flashable with a Locked Bootloader, and still keep LTE? I did the unbranded generic and I liked it except it didn't give me the choice to exclude the baseband in FlashTool so I lost LTE, So now I'm back to OEM AT&T. I'm not really a newbie at this, I've done a couple HTC's and a Motorola, but this locked bootloader [email protected]#T has me frustrated.
Any advice or links would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

There's always an option to exclude the base band in flashtool....
I have latest Xperia TL with latest unbranded .140 Xperia T firmware with some custom locked roms
The only button not greyed out on Flashtool is the flash button and when I choose the firmware file all the sections/panes to the right are greyed out, why I'm stumped.

I'm downloading Flashtool again and reinstalling. If I get it working correctly, what ROM would you recommend? I'd like the closest thing to stock Jellybean possible.
Thanks for replying.

1 Install Flashtool.
2 Find a .140 FTF file for the Xperia T ( I suggest the EU version or UK ) and make sure its jelly bean http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1918397
3 Flash it and it will say Exclude Baseband. This is a must and is always there even if you think its not
4 Flash and Play
When I downloaded the newest flashtool for my work computer, I didn't see any option to exclude baseband either. I had to install a slightly older version of flashtool to get where you can pick and choose what parts of the ftf you want to flash. Hope this helps!

Thats weird. I am on the newesr version and I can exclude baseband...
Suggesting any particular ROM is against XDA Rules. It is disrespectful for the developers. It's better you head over to the development section and try few by yourself.
As for the flashtool version, make sure you are on the latest version for our phone. There is a beta version out for the Z, maybe that is your problem

Please use the search guys, this has been discussed in many threads all over here and the general section ever since 4.3 was released.
Currently, the only way to root after you have already flashed 4.3 is to unlock your bootloader and flash DooMLoRD's advanced stock kernel.
That's it, until somebody finds a way to root with a locked bootloader and that doesn't mean you have to post asking for it. Once someone has a breakthrough, they will publish their work here for certain.

If your bootloader is unlocked you can try this. It worked for me.

So, basically exactly what I already said. Flash DooMLoRD's advanced stock kernel and flash a superuser zip.
No need to give page views to yet another website that just reproduces guides/work of XDA members.

I'm not sure why you revived this thread that is several months old to post that.
Firstly, it's just a reproduction of information from a couple of DooMLoRD's threads from here and here on XDA.
Secondly, it directly links to his files, which is a no no.
Thirdly, there are also direct links in that article to unofficially hosted versions of Androxyde's Flashtool, which is also not polite.
Please don't push page views to places that do things like that. Thanks.

However, if you just want to root, then the information supplied in this thread is out of date now. You can use towelroot to directly root your phone without unlocking the bootloader.

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

Then root it using Kingo,
Install XZDual Recovery,

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
