I might be switching to the Xperia TL from the HTC One S and was wondering if the t and tl run the same ROMs since they have the same specs? Thanks

Yes but you need to not flash the T baseband if you want to keep LTE also you can't use any rom that requires a custom kernel as the bootloader on the TL is locked.

You can use any Rom that is based on a stock firmware and kernel.
Make sure you have cwm recovery to flash Rom

Not unless someone manages to find an exploit to unlock it.

i heard you need to be on stock based firmware to install the recovery,
but you can flash on other roms and manually flash the kernel or something like that
im not too sure,

BL is already unlockable, one unlocked u lose all DRM, there is no need for exploit.
Root was needed just to push the recovery to the stock kernel.
And CM uses a completely different kernel than the stock and the only way to flash it by unlocked BL

Exactly. I'm not sure of the chances that non-unlockable devices will become unlockable. If I said any amount if time I'd be making it up :/
One of the devs said that Sony bootloaders are locked up tight though...

I have a question about custom roms and root for the Xperia ZR.
Since the hardware of the ZR is almost identical as the Z,
would it be possible to just flash a custom rom made for the Z to this device?
And if this is not possible, the porting process would be easier right?
You may find your answer in the post here

FXP is trying to port into XZR as we speak, but no promises though...
Thanks!
I hope he succeeds. It would be awesome!

DO NOT FLASH XPERIA Z ROMS ON THE ZR. YOU WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE

I don't understand why?
The hardware is almost the same..
Would there a porting guide around wich instructs how to port from Xperia Z to ZR?

Well, it wouldn't be too hard to port roms from Z to ZR right?

hello i would like to know if Xperia sp is Dual boot enable yet... and if you can flag any custom roms on it..
thanks
Sent from my C5303 using xda app-developers app
Dual boot requires a custom kernel that supports dual booting.
And for custom roms, there's the development section. There are a couple of stock based roms in there if you are interested.

The solution to your question is flashtool. Kindly search for it and you will get a tutorial here.
You need to first download the stock ROM to which you want to upgrade and then flashtool will do the rest.
Hope it helps!

Just look in the title for [LB], or if it's based off stock Sony FW it should work.
You'll find all roms for locked bl in the development section.. Original android dev is for custom roms. Go explore. It's not a hard job. Plus there aren't many. Just a few brilliant ones.have fun. :thumbup::thumbup:
