So yesterday I bought a Sony xperia tl-lt30at and I can't seem to root it.. I've had an htc, nexus s 4g, and galaxy s2 and rooted all with no problem. I've tried the methods for rooting the lt30at found in the forums here with no luck, the back up and restore app seems to freeze when I try to restore the "root me" method. I also have flashed a recovery image but the pressing up or down over n over during boot up. I can return my phone but I'd rather not, I love this phone. Anyone have any suggestions?

Root works fine on my xperia tl
No there is still a problem.
It does root the phone initially but on running Titanium backup (TB) superuser keeps asking for root access continuously (even though i've checked "remember"). And after a while the root access is gone.
Don't know whats going on, can reproduce this every time.
In one instance i was able to do a complete backup of all my apps with TB and then on next TB start it said no root access.
Maybe some conflict between SU and TB?
btw, SU version is somewhat old v3.2 2012-07
LT30at
Carrier At&T
Android version 4.1.2
Build: 9.1.F.1.120
UPDATE:
Installed the other Superuser (Koushik Dutta) and all is working.
So something not right with Chainsd's superuser that came installed while rooting. Probably the old version does not work (found no way to update to new version), it always complained about providing access.
In any case, all fine now. Hope this helps someone.
lt30at at 4.1.2 rooted with Bin4ry_v36
Hi guys,
I just want to confirm that i rooted my lt30at in JB (4.1.2) with the software:
Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v36.zip
I chose the option 4 and follow the instructions. I had to install before the JDK and the android SDK. Additionally check the device have the developer options enabled.
Best Regards,
julian8c

I have just fortunately received and installed the update for my TL Lt30a (AT&T) v.4.1.2.
I used to have a root software loaded within the older version and had Root Explorer with SU from where I downloaded the root software from.
But with the new update, also came with the annoying bloatwares that compromised the battery life of my phone. I know there's a new feature that extends battery life, but I dont have the need or use for the AT&T apps.
Is there a new root software already available to remove these?
Or a site that I can be directed to the right direction and get the unwanted apps off from my phone.
Thank you,
Sorry if this was posted already before, but if there is a link to that thread that has already started commenting below would be just enough.

Welcome to XDA. Sorry for the late reply.
You can't remove the AT&T apps unless you have root access.
To unlock from network you will need a code. These can be obtained from AT&T if your contract has been satisfied or you can purchase a code on-line from a third party.

Follow the instructions carefully. It definitely works as I rooted the same firmware version with it myself.
If you have never used Flashtool before, here is a guide to setup drivers etc and flash - How to flash stock roms with Flashtool
Also, somebody may come in here and recommend that you use something called Kingo to root your phone. Personally, I don't trust it as there is no information on how it works or what it pushes to your phone, so keep that in mind.

Yep, you cannot see anything untoward, so it's completely fine!
I'm not saying that this Kingo app does anything bad, but do you think it would flash a notification toast up on screen saying "Please wait: Stealing your personal data" if it did?
I personally do not trust it and therefore will not recommend it to anybody over a method supplied by a trusted developer such as DooMLoRD, even if the process is one click and therefore foolproof.

Why would you think your build number would change?
Look in the app drawer for SuperSU. If it's there, then you have root.
Edit - I see now that you mentioned CM in your original post. To answer that, you can only flash stock based custom roms as your bootloader is permanently locked and you need an unlocked bootloader to run the custom kernels required by CM/PAC/AOSP etc.

Hey Everybody
Good news.
Easily root Xperia ZR on .101
I used http://towelroot.com
Fast and easy
Of course USB debugging should be enable.
Happy rooting
I ve seen this on the Xperia Z forums and what works there works everywhere !
So I say it works on the KitKat firmware
Dont think it would work on. 230 firmwares, kernel are patched in those.
But it should work on earlier ones.
Maybe i will try later.

Can we make OTA with this rooted version to next update that fix a view problems with google play services? Will root stay?
After this root you only had to install a recovery and it is perfect right?
I dont know yet, I wat surprised that it worked in the. 230 rom.
I flashed a clean tft, installed this app. After reboot i installeren Su then the recovery. As far as I see everything works, a small revolution......

Thankyou wafeeq for sharing
I have a few (noobish)questions about this method of rooting, because the instructions are still a little sketchy for now.
I was wondering what the point of installing recovery is, is it to get the SuperSU to work on the phone? (forgive my noobish question).
After installing recovery do I have to set anything in recovery mode?
Is it necessary to unlock the bootloader?
Does this mean I can use backupTA after getting root? That would be awesome.

You are welcome.
1- Superuser is not recovery, imagine superuser as the policeman controlling root access.
2- just install recovery mentioned earlier.
3- You will not unlock your bootloader so nothing to fear regarding drm keys or ta partition.

Ok thanks, the rooting actually works I tested without installing recovery and rootchecker says it is rooted
As for recovery which BAT file should I run? SuperSU.BAT or SuperUser.BAT? I don't know how to check which one I have
There is post pointing to this ZR dual recovery method http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2471981
It has 2 batchfiles to choose from and the text file attached tells us to ensure we install the right BAT file by checking which one we have. Which one is the best option?

It depends on which one you have already installed. Not the other way around.

Very well. Root working on .101 with SuperSU. LOCKED BOOTLOADER.

You are welcome.
1- Superuser is not recovery, imagine superuser as the policeman controlling root access.
2- just install recovery mentioned earlier.
3- You will not unlock your bootloader so nothing to fear regarding drm keys or ta partition.

Yes works great, anyway to check if I SuperSU installed? I rooted the 4.2.2 Jelly bean last week and I remember having SuperSU installed, I can't seem to find it among the apps after the official 4.4.2 update.
No, this root comes without superuser or SuperSU, download it from play store

Can confirm working flawlessly on .230, tested using "Terminal Emulator" and gives a positive root result of #. Installed SuperSU and behaves as expected when trying to run root applications except when I try to run it manually, it prompts for an SU binary update saying "SU binary needs to be updated, Continue?". The normal update fails, think this is because i'm running stock firmware. Will need to flash the SUupdate after installing a custom recovery.
Ps: The Mcaffee antivirus detected the rooting apk as a virus, false positive prolly.....
