don't try it bro, it won't even boot-up
honestly, if you want custom ROM, just get the T instead of TX
T got more dev support here
i had the wrong decision myself buying a TX(i'm also a flashaholic and a CM fan)
maybe in time, TX wll have more custom ROM but not at the moment

Damn, seriously? I was supposed to get sell my s3 and get TX instead but didn't do this because I only found 2 roms for TX and no cm10 yet, right?
Thanks bro. Patience

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.

Thanks bro. You know that feeling I was so excited awhile ago. Lol. I see jelly bean isn't available yet for T / TX maybe that's why. Will need to wait first for cm10. I'm sure there will be many cfw available.
But need to sell this s3 before the price go down when s4 releases.
Btw, only differences of T and TX are removable battery and lte right?

I think he meant T got LTE version(TL) and TX got removable battery. I didn't understand it the first time as well.
Edit:Lol, he really got it mixed up. Everything's understood now.

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.

Oh yeah! I just need superuser access since there's no cm10 yet available. Need to restore my files using Titanium Backup from s3 before.

I'm stuck in "Watch now your device. Select the backup named RootMe and restore it!

Which firmware are you on?
If you are not on 7.0.A.0.305 then you need to flash that first. Then follow Black97ones guide to update without losing root.

if you're not familiar yet with flashtool software with Xperia phones and if you don't mind unlocking your bootloader already(which may void your warranty), just go here to Sony dev site and follow procedure to unlock
after unlock, just fastboot an insecure kernel(w/ CWM), i used this -->> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1922925
then flash this SU binary in CWM -->> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35641834&postcount=91
otherwise, just follow greg's advise in Q&A

Thanks, great. Will just unlock the bootloader. Btw, if jelly bean arrives do we need to unroot to recieve OTA updates?

LG has chosen to be on the new boot loader with different partitions....thats it (I suppose only that....dont know more as a noob myself)
but moving from old boot loader (GB) to the new boot loader (ICS) back and forth is easy....use the All in One Tool Kit by Spyrosk.....

Just a question on that: Why would you not stay on the new bootloader? To try another ROM for the old bootloader?
Right now I am on new bl and I thought probably future development will be focused on it, so that's why I am staying..
So I guess the advantage is to get most ROMs first and probably more ROMs in future?!

What's it based on? ICS or JB?

Downgrade for JB to ICS on locked bootloader ?

Hello,
I searched all over the forum , but I found nothing
I have my Atrix HD for 2 days now, it was on ICS but I upgraded to JB,
I don't like the slow waking up of JB when you press the power botton.
So I decided to downgrade to ICS,
My question is : Is it possible to do that using RSD without unlocking the boot loader ?
Thanks

Someone help me guys ,

Quick answer is no.

No. The ics libs and drivers aren't fully compatible with the jb kernel.

Ok thanks guys

I'll add that I'm currently unlocked and running Bell ICS. If you can unlock it's worth doing. Stock ICS is leagues ahead of our Stock JB. To me, JB was a downgrade disguised as an update.

Thanks very much,
I will do it tonight. I don't have warranty, but I heard about a permanent boot logo that tells that this phone is BL unlocked , that put me off.
I will read about that tonight and downgrade .
Thanks again

That's easily changed. Just gotta flash a different boot logo. The exploit flashes a new logo if its successful. Kind of a confirmation before you even boot.

Excellent, I got it .
So no side effects of BL unlocking , but tons of benefits.
Will do this now.
Thanks very much

Done
Unlock Bootloader using Motoapoclypse --- > Then Mythtools to downgrade system to ICS
Now I'm on Stock ICS.
Very easy
Thank you everyone, you are really helpful .
God bless you

[Q] ROMs for locked Bootloaders

Everytime I look for a ROM for my phone, which has the bootloader locked and impossible for unlocking , I find no one! I wonder if anyone could give me any link please. Thanks.

There you go, ExistenZ ROM can be installed on both locked and unlocked bootloaders, just make sure to follow the installation described there for locked bootloader
Hope this can help you
Cheers
Sent from my C5303 using xda app-developers app

Thank you very much, hope the number of ROMs starts to grow up!

You can install on Locked Bootloader every rom which is based on Stock firmware. So search ROMs which are "made on" stock firmware.
Just found Honami Flavoured Stock ROM in Original Android Development section.

Search the threads for CWM, it's a custom recovery

Rom based on stock

Hello, i look for rom based on stock .207. I have LBL. Which rom is the best and why?

Well why don't you unlock bootloader and enjoy wide spread happiness just a suggestion though :thumbup:
Xperia Sp with RR Milestone 5.1.1

I have had lots of ROMs. for locked boot loader I think mateoo cm11 is the best and after that slimkat sounds nice(little personalization) .
also there is pacman but it is too old and get slow if you install many app.
hope it helps![emoji4]
