(Q)Debranding Xperia Tx

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.

[Tutorial] Rooting LT25i - Xperia V (Locked Bootloader)

Hi all,
I'm not sure if it is already know by all owners of a Xperia V:
It is possible to root the device (LT25i, in my case firmware version 9.1.A.1.140) without the need to unlock the bootloader before.
You can find a short and easy to use tutorial in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
Of course all credits go to Bin4ry.
Best regards and happing rooting

Edit: Worked Perfectly on Xperia V JB 9.1.A.1.140

It's not working for me?! After i go to Service Tests -> Display nothing happens... It just stays on /data/local/tmp/onload,sh ..
Or do I need to wait longer?

Recently got OTA FW 9.1.A.1.145 and can't root by tutorial from first post. After some searching I found working rooting toolkit from DooMLoRD Easy Rooting Toolkit.

You cannot go from a deodexed to odexed. You will have to do what the above post says and flash a new FW with either pccompanion or flashtool

[Q] Xperia Z (C6603) FW 10.4.B.0.569 - ROOT

Hi, I am new in this forum. I have an Xperia Z (C6603) and I’m currently on FW 10.4.B.0.569. I am planning to install FXP CM11 but before unlocking the bootloader I would like to back up my TA partition. I understand that I will need root access for that. My question is whether I can use DooMLoRD Easy Rooting Toolkit by flashing back to KernelOnly 10.3.A.0.423 even so I currently have 10.4.B.0.569 or will I have to entirely downgrade the phone to 10.3.A.0.423 by using a full version (not KernelOnly)? Any hint will be much appreciated.
I was going to follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/development/root-how-to-rooting-firmware-10-3-1-0-t2386405 but after reading the instructions again, I guess the warning “THIS IS ONLY FOR THE XPERIA Z (C6602/3) FW 10.3.1.A.0.244 / 10.3.1.A.2.67!” stopped me and I thought I better ask.

the better way is to downgrade to 10.3.1.A.0.244 / 10.3.1.A.2.67 4.2.2 firmware,root it then backup TA,unlock bootloader & flash the CM11

Thanks for your reply. That's the safest way and that's what I finally did. Worked great.
