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

This is the Xperia V (LT25i) INTERNATION LTE Stock Firmware in FTF format.
This does not need a unlocked bootloader or any work on our part. Anyone can flash it.
All you need to do is, use the flashtool by Androxyde & Bin4ry ,
push the big lightning button (that stands for flash) and locate the FTF file on PC
and then connect the phone to PC in flashmode.
A stock FTF file is essential to "make your phone just the way it was when it was released" and also to repair from a soft-brick.
This FTF does not contain bootloader S1boot.bin so it will NOT relock your bootloader if you already have unlocked bootloader

Moved from Development as is just another stock file and not development. All other stock files for T, TL and TX are here so no reason for the V to be any different.

Odd . same chipset, I think if you only keep the base band it'll work .. excluding the kernel is probably what caused the boot loop. thoughts ?

Hi and thanks for the FTF but could you fix the new 9.0.1.D.0.10 also?
Could someone make deodexed version of this ROM or version 9.0.1.D.0.10?
Which one is the newest for xperia v? 9.0.1.D.0.10 or 9.0.D.0.484 ?

There may be a way to root without unlocked bootloader
Try this well-known way of rooting Xperia AX in Japan.
I guess it's also possible for V to root.
1. Here is a Xperia VL's old rom and you can flash this kernel.sin and system.sin with V's loader.sin.
I can't post the link, but you can find it in uploaded.net. The ID is 3gvvv3w6.
2. Then, Root.
3. Create /data/local.prop (ro.kernel.qemu=1).
4. Flash V's system.sin without wiping.
5. Replace ric, install Busybox and Superuser.
6. Flash V's kernel.sin without wiping.
7. Do Factory data reset to easily delete unnecessary apps.

Yup, no CM10 yet for TX, though FXP devs said on their website they will support it eventually.
Hold on to your S3 first bro, it is still better(or on par) than other phones available around. And this year is all about 1080p screen LOL. Wait a bit for those phones when it's already available in the store shelves. And don't forget also about the much anticipated S4 hehehe.

I just made a good deal and straight swapped my S3 to TX. Damn, the stock fw is 100x better than the S3 IMO. Not much bloatware compared to that, and screen is amazing. Will just patiently wait for JB and CM10 for TX. First off, will need to root the device. How do I determine that my bootloader is unlocked? This is sim-free phone.

See the sticky in all in one thread in q&a section by greg, everything is there.
To quickly know if your phone is bootloader-unlockable, input this in your dial pad, *#*#7378423#*#* then choose service info, then configuration, there you will see at rooting status:bootloader unlock allowed:yes(then you may start unlocking the bootloader on Sony dev site, just follow the procedure there)

No need to root if you are going to unlock your bootloader.
That "rooting status:bootloader unlock allowed:yes" refers to unlocking the bootloader whilst "rooting" the device using the runme.bat method just gives you superuser access.
They are different things,
If you unlock your ootloader, then just flash an insecure kernel, you automatically then get root access.

Hi folks,
Quick couple of questions regarding updating my Xperia V. I've never used PC Companion before (used FlashTool and OTA updates on my Arc), so I'm not entirely sure of the process with updating my device through the PC Companion software. Will I need to backup my data before the update (will it wipe my contacts, SMS, etc.)? Also, my device was purchased in Taiwan and I never received the original Jelly Bean update for the V (9.1.A.0.490), and today I got the notification for an upgrade to 9.1.A.0.492. What is the difference between the two firmware updates?
Thanks.

Don't update your Mobile through pc companion if u have an unlocked bootloader. Otherwise it is a very easy process to update a device with pc companion.
& u should backup your data. Sometimes it wipes the user data sometimes it doesn't.
& these updates mainly features stability & some other updates.
Press thanks if I helped.

Hi folks,
Quick couple of questions regarding updating my Xperia V. I've never used PC Companion before (used FlashTool and OTA updates on my Arc), so I'm not entirely sure of the process with updating my device through the PC Companion software. Will I need to backup my data before the update (will it wipe my contacts, SMS, etc.)? Also, my device was purchased in Taiwan and I never received the original Jelly Bean update for the V (9.1.A.0.490), and today I got the notification for an upgrade to 9.1.A.0.492. What is the difference between the two firmware updates?
Thanks.

What i said still stands. All ftfs are in that thread. If it is not in that thread then it is not available as no one has posted it on XDA.
You will have to request someone with that firmware to make the ftf and upload it. I will then link it to the all in one thread.

OK, My mistake, however, it sounds like he has not upgraded yet. He was enquiring about the difference before he upgraded.
I dont think anyone has shared that ftf yet...it would be great if they did....

I have upgraded to 9.1.A.0.492 (Xperia V), and overall everything has been smooth. I'll create an .FTF file later today.
EDIT: Here's the thread for 9.1.A.0.492.
There we go.
Let's see what the developers can do with it. ^_^

十分感谢哦! 但是你有发现492固件有什么新功能吗?
老实说 490 不是特别平滑,虽然反应速度还算流畅的

Dude. English please and yea I think this update is only bug fixes. Let me emphasis that I THINK its just bug fixes.
I'm from Singapore and is using 492 now. I don't see any difference from what I experience.
I'm just hoping Sony could come up with a 4.2.x soon...

flash a ftf in flashtool. Look in the all in one thread (First thread in the Q&A section) to update to .492
Actually i asked this question in the ZR forum but unfortunately i got no answer ( low activity device :/ ) ,so i hope to get answer here
I'm new user to Sony ,What i'm used to do for my Samsung Galaxy W is that i download Stock ROMs from SamMobile.com and flash it via ODIN ,but i'm going to buy the Xperia ZR.
So now i understand everything about flashing FTF Stock ROMs for Sony from this Thread ,While i want to know if there is an alternative to SamMobile for Sony Devices ?
I mean from where can i download Stock ROMs for Sony devices for my country ?
,Thanks in advance

Yes, if your bootloader is locked. I suggest read stickies in general section. Look for Doomlord's and XperienceD's threads.
