since there is no separate forum for Xperia TX, which is called LT29i in my country, i got problems to find the proper roms for my poor TX.
i'd like to know whether the T's roms are available for TX or not
and which rom do not require a unlocked bootloader device, most of the OPs and DEVs are making T/TL's rom(i know TX is only sold among Asia-Pacific Area, it's not easy to get TX in other places), and also, most of the thread of TX's roms didn't tell user isit available for both BLs
so, in short my questions are
1.can T/TL roms be flashed into TX devices ?
2.or some fixes/patches pack can be used to flash after flashing T/TL rom, by which way i can port T/TL's rom to my TX
3.is unlocked BL required to flash TX rom, like this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2137098
thanks for all attentions

Look in the all in one thread for a list of Roms.
Only stock based roms can be flashed on a locked boot loader, so cm is for unlocked boot loaders only

Hello.
(First, English is not my native language, sorry for mistakes : I'm french)
(Second, I'm new, but not newb, and love your "Noob at Xda forum" video.)
1 years ago, I bought a Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc, and thanks to your genius, rooted it and flashed it with stock rom.
Today (Yes, few hours ago!) I bought a brand new Sony Xperia T !
So, I took a look at different thread on how to root it.
But, I'm lost.
There's so many thread, so many different ways, and so many different version.
I require your help on this.
Require : Help on how to Root (And maybe flash my phone to have clean rom ? (Without Operator app?))
Data : Sony Xperia T LT30p
Android 4.0.4
7.0.A.1.303
Sony Live Companion ask me for 7.0.A.3.195 update

Cannot unlock Bootloader.
Bought with Operator "Orange" (french one)

My search has failed, that's why I posted here.
Thanks in advance.
Are you sure you read the first 3 posts of the all in one thread properly?
Because the answers you are looking for are there.
Look in post 2 of the all in one thread on how to flash stock firmware
Look in post 3 of the all in one thread to fins the stock firmware files
Look in post 2 of the all in one thread for how to root on 7.0.a.1.303 (Your current firmware)
Look in post 2 of the all in one thread for how to root the latest (7.0.A.3.195) by unlocking your bootloader and flashing a custom kernel.
It is impossible by any means to root the xperia T on the new firmware unless you unlock the bootloader

This is why I required help. (after reading theses threads)
So, should I root on 7.0.A.1.303(current version) and not upgrading ?
Should I flash .1.303 clean Rom, then root and not upgrading ?
(P.S : I almost had trouble with my Arc (almost brick) previously. I did SEUS update, and then read on how to root it. With the actual rooting method, there were trouble with battery (0%). I had to wait for a new root method to come.
This time, I prefer to ask since I don't see any way to do it.)
Thanks.

Yes, if you cannot unlock the bootloader then stay on 7.0.A.1.303 and root using bin4ry's method and DO NOT upgrade.
Its up to you if you want to flash another 7.0.A.1.303 firmware file before you do this.
Alright.
Thanks to you then (Pushed thanks button).
I will try this.
I only whish I could unlock the bootloader
We all dream of something.
Thank you.

You just learnt it the hard way. Either a) lay out the cash for a "free" phone from a "free" store or b) switch carriers to some less arsed carrier than the all over the world hated orange. Orange is what Vodafone used to be, ruining devices like the plague in medieval times.

You must decide on your own, which firmware you want. Basically they're all the same. Just don't go above .1.303 as you wouldn't be able to root it without the ability to unlock. It may be possible at some point, but a new exploit for 3.195 and above must first be found.

Different packaging, a trailer movie and some ringtones, I believe. Oh, and a locked bootloader :laugh:

TL != T
Don't flash TL and TX ROMs, boy, you've got a T.
Europe != USA (thankfully)
AFAIK 4G isn't deployed in Europe yet. Neither is it in the USA but americans (partially) call something 4G which actually isn't 4G but simply HSPA or HSPA+. Some carrier does have 4G (LTE) but they already called HSPA/HSPA+ 4G which technically was 3.5G. Or so.
Alright.
Thank you for your help.
Actually, as you said, I have HSPA+ (3G+) (or LTE?)
( Well, With Orange (which seems to fit you perfectly), I had this phone for 1€.
Basically, I will pay 545€ for 1year with this phone (500€) + 6 months of Everything unlimited + 6month of 2hours call + everyhting unlimited.)
Anyway, in my Country, there is no "Good" Operator
Every single one are the same, except for the price.
Thank you for the tip, will mark this thread as solved.
HSPA/HSPA+ is an extension to UMTS. UMTS is considered a 3rd generation mobile telecommunication technology (3G), so HSPA/HSPA+ would be 3.5G if you wish.
LTE, Long Term Evolution is the next step upwards from UMTS and marketed as 4G (although technically not meeting the defined characteristics of a 4th generation mobile telecommunication technology). Whereas UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+ is widely deployed in Europe, LTE is not. LTE is an emerging technology and only a very small number of carriers worldwide (!) have set up an LTE network.
Anyway, you got an XPERIA T, TX or TL? Only TL features LTE, hence TL. If you got an XPERIA T, no, you have not got LTE but HSPA+ which the T is capable of.
Readup:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3G
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4G (especially interesting http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4G#Deployment_plans)
Allright.
My phone is Xperia T (France) with 3G+ (Or H+, as Orange like to say)
I did not know what was meaning LTE (Now I know, thanks to you ).
I flashed with .1.303 Generic, and rooted (thanks to Bin4ry).
Everything worked as intended (except smarttags and alarms ; I made a post about this).
Thank you for your patience and your wisdom
I've Vodafone Australia branded xperia tx which also sim unlocked. I no longer use Vodafone and I would like to debrand it.
Is it possible to flash it with normal non branded Sony firmware?
Also my phone is bootloader locked and it can't be unlocked.
my reason to debrand it is i am afraid that i have to wait for vodafone to release jellybean. not sure about though.
Any help would be really appreciated since i am a noob in this regard.

Yes.
So I'd really would like to get stock JB on my Xperia TL and I'm reading some places you can others you can't etc etc. Can someone please confirm how to do this? I have to imagine there is a way at this point. I know JB just came out for this and it's nice but I'd like a stock experience. Help appreciated. Thanks.
Obviously you did not take my advice and read the threads I suggested.

Hello friends, I come from sub-forum for Xperia P, I became a Xperia U and I watch a rom stock official, ie bringing my phone is AT & T, that at first instance and then to put or try other roms .
I have a doubt in my terminal says
LT30at
Android Version: 4.0.4
Compilation: 7.0.B.1.152
But I see that most roms here LT30p says that the difference between the LT30at and LT30p, and if I can add a LT30p, or should I place specifically one that says LT30at.
Thanks for your help, the truth is that just yesterday I was handed my new device and want to start tune it. root, cwm, flashar different roms, or cooked with cwm.
Thank you,

The AT seems very similar.... but! the AT has a 4g network compatibility and you might lose that if you were to flash a rom from the lt30p?
