I followed the instructions to root my 195 LT30a with locked bootloader
Everything went fine. Downgraded to 303, installed CWM, then flashed a rooted 195 tft, as well as flashed the 195 kernel, as per instructions.
Now I'm trying to flash the reboot fix, but CWM won't launch. I've tried repeatedly pressing every button (and button combination) when the Sony logo pops up, but nothing seems to work. I tried to reinstall CWM, but now it reboots itself when the installer tries to remount ro /system and the install fails.
What am I doing wrong?
You need to flash the cmw .zip immediately after flashing the Rom and before you reboot otherwise you lose cmw
Downgrade again and repeat the process

You can also install CWM directly from jb! Just flash jellybean, root using bin4ry's root v21, and flash the CWM from this post

[CWM][LB][STOCK] ClockWorkMod 6.0.1.2 for Xperia T/TL/TX/V v4
Just make sure u choose the correct version.
(i also recommend the ICS CWM from this post, never had any trouble with it, but be sure to not forget to flash reboot fix!)

I have tried this several times. The only way I can get into CWM is by using Flashtool. This works but that means I have to be at my computer to get into CWM. I am currently using the AT&T stock jelly bean ROM which is rooted.

If you can get into recovery via flashtool then its installed correctly.
What exactly are you trying with the volume keys when you try to boot up

I have tried both holding the volume-up key when the SONY shows and the volume-down key (at separate times).
Don't hold it, keep pressing it and letting it go and pressing it again

That works. Thanks.
well, you can try to tap on the screen too, it works on V
It works on the Ion too, but not on the TL. Actually I found out I was holding the volume-up key instead of tapping it. It works now.

Unsatisfied by the JB update of my xperia T, I downloaded flashtool and the ftf file to revert to ICS.
Procedure apparently went good, but at the restart the phone is looping on boot: I see 'sony', then 'xperia', then the animation starts but after a little it restarts again and again.
Probably my fault was to leave the 'wipe data' option unchecked.
How can I fix? I can't unplug the battery so I'm not able to go to flash mode and try again...

Press and hold the volume up and power button together
After 10 seconds it will vibrate.
Keep holding it untill it vibrates another 3 times.
Then enter flashmode and flash it properly this time

If you have not unlocked the bootloader then just repair the phone using pccompanion.
What exactly have you flashed? Have you rooted? have you unlocked the bootloader?

After the phone went into boot loop, i unlocked the bootloader. then i tried SE tool Emma to downgrade to ICS, tried your kernel as well as more 2-3 kernels in combinations but nothing worked. I used flash tool and flashed several ICS and JB ftfs custom as well as modded but none worked yet.... It's still the same, reboots after the logo... In older ICS, it reboots after Xperia screen while in other FW, it reboots just after the sony logo...
Is this enough information to figure out the problem? What is the right comibnation of kernel and FW to start this phone ? It was purchased in UK and came with ICS....It was upgraded to JB without any problem and one day it just went into boot loop surprisingly....
Thank you for your time...

Did as you said. Flashed the relocked bootloader through flashtool (not emma)... Used the PC companion and did a "recover" procedure...At the end it said "Xperia T was updated with 9.1.A.1.140"
The problem is still the same. It restarts after the sony logo....
What is the next procedure to try ?

Flashed nothing... Before the problem....the phone was updated to JB..It worked for 2 months and then suddenly one day, it freezes, when restarted ,it went into boot loop. That's what bugging me. The flash mode works fine, the quickboot works fine..i can flash any files without any problem, but with any rom or default FW, it restarts after the logo, so i wanna know the possibilities of the problem...
Is there any way with which i can fully format the internal drive and then flash the FW ? Is there a possibly of corrupt internal drive ?
I have had the same Problem, even with repair function of PCC. Only thing working for me was flashing original JB tft with flash tool. After that it bootet up normaly and everything was working again. (Bootloop stayed with ics tft, only jb tft worked)
I flashed jb tft->bootloader relock->jb tft
Please help guys. I tried flashing ROM using the instructions on the front page for locked bootloader and my phone froze on formatting /system, I restarted phone and it is just stuck on Sony. I have tried holding power and volume up it does nothing except restart the device. My PC won't recognise it to do any repairs. Any ideas?
Keep pressing vol up + power for 15 sec till the phone shutdown.
Use flashtool to flash a stock ftf firmware.

Download flashtool from development section,and an ftf stock firmware.
Put the ftf file in flashtool/firmware folder.
Install xperia z drivers,you find it in flashtool/drivers
Click on flash,choose the ftf and wait the the pop up telling you to connect your phone by holding volume down and connecting the usb.

All you can do is doing all steps again and install the recovery than restore your backup.

Sounds to me like you haven't flashed the kernel required for 4.2.2 (I am presuming you were on a stock/custom Sony ROM before)
If you flash 4.2.2 you also need to flash the kernel specific to the ROM you've tried to flash using fastboot commands.
To do that you need to have the correct XZ drivers installed, and have adb/fastboot working

Try this, when you start flashing, press-release the power button multiple times until it finish flashing, this is something that is actually happening on my xperia z, and sometimes it just starts redlight and vibrate 3 times, reboot, if i press-release press-release fast multiple times, it just dont reboot.

Hello everyone
I am a noob.
I have just recently flashed tilal6991's CM 10.2 [4.3] [XPERIA T] rom onto my Xperia T. I know it is a working progress and it works really fast on my phone.
I had decided that after trying it out I would wait till a nightly came out for it. Only thing is I can no longer access CWM by starting up phone and repeatedly pressing down volume. it justs keep screen flickering on a blank screen until I hold up volume and power button to reboot phone.
Can someone please tell me an idiot proof process of reinstalling cm 10.1 onto the phone?
I used CWM to install teh rom.
Many thanks in advance
Just flash a stock ftf using flashtool.

Thanks for the quick reply. downloading flash tool now. I will give your rom a go.
Do I need to download the ftf from flashtools website? I noticed they have 9.1.A.1.140 Customized CE1 firmware.
No, just one from the all in one thread, but that one seems fine.
Make sure you use the flash tool from the first post in the dev section

you dont need to flash stock FTF
just flash this kernel via flashtool

and you will be able to enter recovery and then flash what you need... this way is more quicker..
Apologies, I misread the op, I thought he wanted to go back to stock.
Yes, flashing a kernel (doomkernel will do) with recovery then the . Zip for cm10 will do the trick much quicker.
Edit
Or flash the kernel then restore the backup of your cm10 Rom that you made before flashing a new Rom

I have a new problem. the phone will not stay in fast boot mode and fast tool just keeps saying awaiting device. i dont know what to do. I hold down power and volume up buttons when putting the micro usb in. I get the 3 vibration in a row and then i let go of buttons. blue light comes on for a few seconds and then goes off.
Any ideas?
open flashtool and select flash icon then fastboot mode
turn off your phone hold power +volume down till you get 3 vibrations on a row
now connect the phone by holding only up volume when connecting cable
then select SELECT kernel to flash switch to IMG extension and select kernel after 5 second it should be flashed
now turn on your phone go to recovery and flash what you want
Guys you are all awesome.
finally got it sorted. took me til 2230 GMT. It was the cursed Windows 8. it was not letting me install sony fastboot drivers. once i switched off the function to stop me installing my own drivers, I was able to install fastboot drivers and 30 secs later I was in CWM.
Once again guys you are awesome.
