Database Develop

Is there anyone who has an Xperia T and wants development started?

Dear Xperia T users,
Some of you might already know me, but some won't. I'm a developer for Sony Xperia phones and I have some experience now
I'm looking for people that are willing to test a kernel with recovery for me
When we have a working recovery I'll also need testers for my custom rom: KA Xperia SSpeed
I haven't started to make the kernel with recovery yet, first I need to know if there is interest in this at the moment?
Thank you,

ok, pm me if you want to test some stuff
just flashing kernels to begin, but it won't brick your device if you follow my instructions

Hey Krabbple , if you realease roms for t then try to ask pple to test on tx because its exactly the same but diff design / remove batt. also it might be compatible for v but kernel flashing may be diff.

I will test. I have unlocked bootloader and rooted. Both kernel in other thread just stick on bootlogo

new kernels posted, let's hope they boot this time the command I use should be good, I used the right base adresses
I posted 2 insecure kernels, please test them both and report back to me

I am getting my T next week krab, we could join up for development?

Ive got mine now, put me down for helping to test the ROM's and such, would rather be honest and say that I have no idea on how to flash a kernel.

My Xperia T should arrive in the next days to be compared with a S3 first hand. I'm pretty sure the S3 will lose and will be sent back to Amazon - and I'm absolutely up for some crazy flashing
What can I do to help development? Should I dump the firmware and upload it? It is from O2 Germany and without a simlock, can't say if it is branded yet.

the big and might Codeworkx is having the T too....
expect fabulous dev work here !!!!

Can't wait Krab
Bring the Rom & Kernel on.. LOL

[Q] New Xperia T, want to root it

Hi there, I am a noob to this forum, so apologies if this thread ends up in the wrong place!
I purchased a Sony Xperia T on Monday (17/12/12) after my HTC Desire broke
So far a great phone, I just get fed up with all the adverts on my games! I want to root it and just get the standard 'apps' for rooted phones ie. AdAway, Titanium Backup etc.
I rooted and installed custom ROMs on the Desire with no problem, but I can't seem to do this on the T. I have scoured the net for tutorials and guides and everything else, but nothing seems to be working.I am trying to use Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v4.
I follow the instructions to the letter- choose phone, insert USB, choose restore, and wait... sometimes it reboots, others it just does nothing. Even when it does reboot, it still doesn't root.
Specs:
Model Number= LT30P
Android Version= 4.0.4
Baseband Version= 8960A-AAAAANAZQ-10015019-19
Kernel Version= 3.0.8+1.0.21100-02477-g0d376f4
Build Number= 7.0.A.3.195
I am on UK Orange/EE
USB Debugging is enabled...
Sorry about the long post, I wanted to give as much info as I could so I can hopefully get this done.
In advance, thanks :fingers-crossed:

you cannot root 7.0.A.3.195 unless you unlock your bootloader.
check Q&A section for all in one thread (sticky), everything in there.

You CAN root .195. Firmware but that needs some work. Just go to the all in one thread in the questions and answer section and read that thread. It has every info you need for rooting.

Welcome to the forum. Please make sure you post in the relevant section to what you're posting about, i.e. all questions belong here in Q&A.
Also the best thing to do is always search first as gregbradley has kindly put together an all in one thread at the top of this section which will help you with most common questions.

If you did it without unlocking the bootloader or without flashing a prerooted stock image through CWM please share because those are the only methods that I am aware of currently working.

Thanks everyone, 'thanks' has been clicked
Before I do this a) is there any way to 'unroot' the phone, as it voids warranty etc? And b) is it a huge improvement on stock, unrooted? Looking at the posts mentioned it appears to be stable, but just want some feedback from you guys.
Thanks guys

I'm with you on this one Spec. If there is a direct way of rooting the phone without the round-about way. I'm all ears.

[Q] Xperia T help

Hi,
I have a Xperia T with bootloader unlocked (which removes warranty) and a custom rom, but I want to lock the bootloader again and go back to the stock ROM. I don't know which ROM it is because my friend did it all for me, but he is not my friend anymore and doesn't want to help me with my phone. I dont want the custom rom because i dont see any use to it and some things dont work like WhatsApp and the camera.
So my questions are: Can i go back to stock ROM, if so how?
Can i Re-lock the bootloader so my warranty will be back. Or at least a way to hide that i have had a custom rom?
Thanks in advance !!!

I would gladly trade my locked T for your unlocked one

You can easily unlock it from the Sony site! But why would you want to do that?

No he told me i could remove it. Also, do you lose warranty for physical damage? Like i have a case on my T but on the corners the matte is coming off a little? I dont know why i care for it very well!

I can't unlock my bootloader, sadly
Unfortunately, a lot of people are complaining about the matte finish peeling off. I for one have it on the lower left corner, and I really baby the phone. I don't even put it on hard surfaces but usually on a school workbook.
Anyway, you can find a lot of information in the following threads:

-Matte coating peeling off: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2031472

I dont know how you can remove it... i dont think theres a way to relock bootloader as of now.. i could be worng though! Maybe check out s1tool or osmething google it! And no that issue has been reported its not your fault... if you cna get your bl relocked you can send it back to them for that damage \
Try this to relock bootloader.. but read the whole thread as idk what it could do to your device...

Again i take absolutley no repsobility here!

Thanks. Hopefully Sony will replace those devices.

Search for flashtool version 0.9.9.0 and download.
Download .ftf file of the firmware you want to flash and place it in flashtool firmware folder.
Start flashtool.exe and follow instructions. Leave all boxes ticked (wipe dalvik, user data, baseband etc)

Hi, I have ROM manager, can i use that to flash an Elf file?

Can somebody explain this ??

Hi I don't understand do I have to make separate threads for each of my questions? Also, when you move the thread where does it go because I can't find it. How many times is the maximum for asking a question and how many threads can one open on 1 day.

You can open multiple question threads in Q&A section but if all your questions pertain to, in this case, flashing a ROM, a single thread should do.
Also, keep in mind that many of the members of this forum will not answer simple generic inquiries. It is up to you to search the forum to find the answers, if possible.

Thanks for responding. I have found a way to get back stock firmware.its via the official Sony flash tool. But when I try to hold down the volume down button I go into ROM manager cwm based recovery and then it doesn't recognize my phone. Please I don't know what to do. I have cyanogenmod paranoid android 2.56. I don't know what that means but maybe its useful

I haven't run recovery in a while and never on this device.
Is there a choice to put the device in flash mode if you scroll down, I can't remember.

Read the all in one thread carefully. All you need to know is there. Yes I know it's a lot of info, but before you do anything you really should read it or else you might brick your phone if you flash the wrong stuff.

1. anybody can see "XPERIA X8 Q&A" name. i suppose Q&A stand for question and answer.
2. no. you cannot use it on stock. because the ftf file flashes nAa 14 when you flash that rom. pretty weird way to flash the rom thorugh ftf and can cause problems to new people.. not to worry because he has given all the instructions in the thread. you just did not read them. when you click on the big blue button in download part another site will open you can get instructions there......or click this

next time go through the complete thread.

[Q] Camera with bootloader?

Sony has said that installing bootloader in the Xperia Z1 will disable the camera, but I've read that if you recover the TA, the camera works again. Is this true? If so, could I install different kernel ROMs (like CM) with a working camera?
I'm sorry if the question sounds dumb, I'm new to Android.

Firstly, you don't "install" the bootloader, every phone has one, you just unlock it to get access to it.
Secondly, you can restore the TA but that RELOCKS the bootloader so you cant use custom kernels.
Trust me, when this issue is sorted it will be big news so you will get to know it.
Currently this is the situation
locked bootloader = stock kernels = working camera
Unlocked bootloader = stock or custom kernels = NO CAMERA
No question is dumb if you don't know the answer, but please get used to searching before asking, that way you definitely wont ask any dumb questions

Thanks!
But the only ROM with the stock kernel is HONAM1Z, and I have no idea what features it has....
The other stock kernel ROMs are just updated firmware with root, but there are 2 that are basically the same. Which one should I use?
Do you need bootloader for mods? (like PureXAudio)

You choose any one you want. No one on here will tell you want you want, its up to you to try, test and decide for yourself.
As for other mods, no you don't need bootloader unlocked. That is only for custom kernels.
If you read the OP of each mod it will tell you the requirements and if it does not say "Requires an unlocked bootloader" then its fine to use on a stock kernel.
You will just have to root, install recovery and flash them.

Do ROMs need to be of the exact model number?
For example, you have a ROM for the C6903, but I have the C6906. Can I use the ROM?
Or if mine is build number 14.1.G.1.518, and yours is 14.1.G.2.257, can I still use the ROM?
And does the phone get unrooted when updated OTA? And how do you know which build number is newer?

I would first suggest you read the tutorials in the general section and the dev section.
Most, if not all, your questions will be answered there and I will only be cutting and pasting information from there.
As something to think about, when I first joined xda I spent a LOT of time reading guides and tutorials before doing anything to my phone.
I am not saying I wont answer your questions, but the answers are out there for you already and taking things steady will give you the best chance of learning and not doing something daft to your phone and bricking it.

Thanks for the threads! They were pretty useful
Although I still have questions about ROMs. If your room is for C6903, and I have 6906, can I still use it? I would guess that you can, as the only thing that change is the baseband.
Also, what ROM do you recommend? Yours (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2504638), this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2440408) or generic 534 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2505796)?
Do you know what Honam1Z? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2463675). I cant seem to find the advantages of the ROM....
Thanks again for answering my questions, mate.
