Hello all,
I know this has been already asked and some of us have found solution to rooting of .253 FW but it is very complicated and while doing it, someone may brick the device.. So can anyone n specially Doom find a better n easy way of rooting it? just like we had for .350 n .434 FW.. Please see it will be very helpful.. Downloading multiple ftf/zip is confusing n time consuming...
1. No need for ANOTHER thread on this. There are already 2 on the first page.
2. Do you think it is that easy? You just ask and somebody produces an easy way to root the new firmware? If you are a "Software test engineer" as your profile states, then you should have an idea of the difficulties involved.

Software in this case is probably html and engineer in this case probably means testing web pages in multiple different browsers to see if the pages break.

Yes, I know there must be difficulties involved.. but if u rememeber, DoomLord had acquired the root access even before the device was launched in India.. So if he could do, he certainly can do something like that again.. Hopefully no need to flash multiple FTF/zips, it just increases the confusion..

When one does not have full idea, one should not utter nonsense... I have been testing different softwares on different platform including android as well from last 4.5 yrs :silly:. so better get the info first before making any comments.

My point was that this thread is completely pointless and unnecessary. Do you think devs are just sitting around waiting for someone to ask this and they then think "Hey, he's right! I'll get right on it and make a one click solution!"?
It's not that simple. The exploit used to root with a locked bootloader has been patched and there is no guarantee that another can be found.

Yes, I do understand that it is quite difficult to get another exploit to gain the root access.. still it was just a humble request..
Rather than sit around and "request" (I like to think of it as demanding rather than requesting), you have 2 options:
1. Wait.
2. Find the exploit yourself.

+1, and if you're finding it too "complicated" then you need to READ any instructions again, and get used to it because whenever a new FW is released the existing methods will either work or not and requires a bit of thought, or you need to be patient and wait for new solution, starting new threads isn't going to speed up the process.

i think we can flash 253 ftf file with flash tool , exclude system.sin this could keep your root access.
You may say he's been a noob or whatever but i've come from samsung devices and i'm having difficulty working out how to do this on the XZ, i understand new software, but even on .434 i only had root as i found recovery installs confusing.
Even with ODIN on samsung you flashed a ROM, then a RECOVERY and you were good to go.
If Flashtool could install recovery i'd probably be ok, but like this guy a one click root would be great as the sony way seems confusing first time round

Then get on with creating it lol.
Like I already said, it's not as simple as just asking for it. Somebody has to actually find a new exploit (no easy task, if it's actually possible) then create a package to perform that exploit.
If the current method is too confusing, then don't use it. This site is supposedly for development anyway, not for holding people's hands

Cam mods close these kind of threads, it's flooding.
Come on it is very easy to upgrade root the new firmware just follow steps of NUT gave in his post. I did it in a few minutes and didnt lost any data in the process. (only my mods was lost but it is expected )
I cant understand people what more do you want? ıt is like do this than do that and done!

Well unlike many NEW users , I have a long road to follow and anyone who uses Android knows theres many well traveled roads ,so which one to follow? Well my suggestion is this READ,READ,READ ! You have to read them all if your interested in knowing , if you just want "it done and done now" well you'll find resistence in XDA ,this is in fact a Developers forum (I for one am very happy they are here!)
I havent even read an article yet in the dev section of this phone , I have lots more in here before I can even think of going there . Yes I already updtated to ICS from stock reset 2.3.6 , already have recovery and root (a must have in any Android ) but I wont go custom rom just yet , theres just too much to learn in this forum before I do that , mainly battery consumption and apps "inside" running that need to be trimmed!

Hi there, I am a noob to this forum, so apologies if this thread ends up in the wrong place!
I purchased a Sony Xperia T on Monday (17/12/12) after my HTC Desire broke
So far a great phone, I just get fed up with all the adverts on my games! I want to root it and just get the standard 'apps' for rooted phones ie. AdAway, Titanium Backup etc.
I rooted and installed custom ROMs on the Desire with no problem, but I can't seem to do this on the T. I have scoured the net for tutorials and guides and everything else, but nothing seems to be working.I am trying to use Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v4.
I follow the instructions to the letter- choose phone, insert USB, choose restore, and wait... sometimes it reboots, others it just does nothing. Even when it does reboot, it still doesn't root.
Specs:

Android Version= 4.0.4

you cannot root 7.0.A.3.195 unless you unlock your bootloader.
check Q&A section for all in one thread (sticky), everything in there.
You CAN root .195. Firmware but that needs some work. Just go to the all in one thread in the questions and answer section and read that thread. It has every info you need for rooting.

If you did it without unlocking the bootloader or without flashing a prerooted stock image through CWM please share because those are the only methods that I am aware of currently working.

Thanks everyone, 'thanks' has been clicked
Before I do this a) is there any way to 'unroot' the phone, as it voids warranty etc? And b) is it a huge improvement on stock, unrooted? Looking at the posts mentioned it appears to be stable, but just want some feedback from you guys.
Thanks guys

I'm with you on this one Spec. If there is a direct way of rooting the phone without the round-about way. I'm all ears.
Hi,
I have a Xperia T with bootloader unlocked (which removes warranty) and a custom rom, but I want to lock the bootloader again and go back to the stock ROM. I don't know which ROM it is because my friend did it all for me, but he is not my friend anymore and doesn't want to help me with my phone. I dont want the custom rom because i dont see any use to it and some things dont work like WhatsApp and the camera.
So my questions are: Can i go back to stock ROM, if so how?
Can i Re-lock the bootloader so my warranty will be back. Or at least a way to hide that i have had a custom rom?
Thanks in advance !!!

Flash kernel boot into cwm (pressing volume down repeatedly i think)
Flash the rom and reboot!

No he told me i could remove it. Also, do you lose warranty for physical damage? Like i have a case on my T but on the corners the matte is coming off a little? I dont know why i care for it very well!
I can't unlock my bootloader, sadly
Unfortunately, a lot of people are complaining about the matte finish peeling off. I for one have it on the lower left corner, and I really baby the phone. I don't even put it on hard surfaces but usually on a school workbook.
Anyway, you can find a lot of information in the following threads:

I dont know how you can remove it... i dont think theres a way to relock bootloader as of now.. i could be worng though! Maybe check out s1tool or osmething google it! And no that issue has been reported its not your fault... if you cna get your bl relocked you can send it back to them for that damage \
Try this to relock bootloader.. but read the whole thread as idk what it could do to your device...

You can open multiple question threads in Q&A section but if all your questions pertain to, in this case, flashing a ROM, a single thread should do.
Also, keep in mind that many of the members of this forum will not answer simple generic inquiries. It is up to you to search the forum to find the answers, if possible.
Thanks for responding. I have found a way to get back stock firmware.its via the official Sony flash tool.

It will always say (relocked) in recovery
My advice is READ READ READ/SEARCH SEARCH SEARCH
I did that for weeks before I even bought my Nexus One and rooted it over 3 years ago
Even after all that time, I have already read over a thousand posts thru out the One Forum in preparation of buying the phone
Lot less headaches that way and better chance of not bricking your new/expensive phone--

I can vouch for this. I bought my One two days ago and have it unlocked and rooted. However, it wasn't easy for me (this is the first Android I've ever "hacked") and it took two full days of researching and asking for help.

You need custom recovery to flash the SU binaries to xbin. But, once you get root, you can reapply the stock recovery via fastboot, though I Dont know why you would, you would lose much control of recovering your phone after any mishaps. Though I suppose you could reflash custom recovery in that event. Though you'd have to wait til you were near adb/SDK.

Dont want to lose the ability of getting OTA updates- thats basically it.
i have been rooted over 3 years and always get them thru roms sooner--never took one
have seen people taking updates and getting messed up
Also the fact that custom ROMs keep updating very frequently and I have itchy fingers. Think I'm tired of that. Unless a serious bug is present in stock ROM that HTC is taking too long to fix or maybe when Viper releases their ROM for the One, I'm planning on sticking to stock.

Once you unlock why would you want to receive OTA updates?

To keep my phone on the latest software? I hear lots of people who have rooted are not seeing the upgrade and I dont wanna deal with custom ROMs
as folks have said, read a bunch. and follow directions very closely.
gaining root access to the phone isn't tough. how much time it takes also kinda depends on what you plan to do with root access.
- if your with root is to use the stock rom, and just gain access to rooted apps, and maybe get rid of some bloatware (again read which one's are safe to delete first!), then rooting won't take too much time.
- if you plan on trying new roms and kernels to try to ring every last drop of functionality and speed and battery life out of that chunk of hardware, then expect it to take some time. this path is voluntary. but it should be considered a lifestyle, not a solution.
Sorry for the noon post but in school n forgot about rooting n such and dint have much time to relearn...
What's the best way to go back to purr stock and keep root?
I'm on the latest doom kernel n curiosity Rom, and having issues with lag and battery, out of memory alot with zynga poker...etc. Thinkin it may be just old and time for a refresh on that stuff...
Also the only thing I wanna keep are my texts backed up,vis there a specific option for that in cwrp?( the non touch screen recovery?
And for some reason droid explorer isn't working in my laptop (for batch reinstall programs) is there another way to do that?
Thanks in advance!!

relock your bootloader
don't turn it on you will get a bootloop, but don't worry, its just the wrong kernel.
flash a ftf of your choice but exclude data to keep your apps
root
Done
Ok thanks!! Now that I am on break I got.time to figure this out
I'm betting there are guides on doing the steps above? I think I still have the email with the code I had to use, but I'll work on it. Thanks!!
Also, any idea why droid explorer isn't working? Or is there another program that is similar that I can use?
(this is what is going on with droid explorer, just realized how can u have a idea why it's not worki.g when I haven't said what is wrong lol!)
Basically it's saying I don't have the sdk installed (I think it's ask, the developer stuff u need from the android site) I've tried reinstalling both And still not working, I've used it before and really like it (easy to batch install apps, I need to clean them out anyways lol) but any hints on what to do?
Anyways thanks! I love this site, is very helpful for people like me who are interested in this sort of stuf2f but don't have the knowledge needed.to really figure it.out (mainly because went another direction for life, but I am still very intrigued by this kinda stuff!!) so thanks for the great support here and everything!!
