[GUIDE]One Click Return to Stock i9020t/23

This script returns to unrooted, factory state android 4.0.4.
1. Download this zip - Quicker download here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?pzrzrt3583rgbmf
2. Backup your phone (everything! sd, apps, games etc).
3. Plug in your phone, turn on USB debugging.
4. Unzip the downloaded files.
5. Open run.bat
6. Type in Y then press enter.
7. It does the rest.
Had to do this since i'm sending off my phone to samsung, basically used this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1167819&highlight=unroot
and updated the images for 4.0.4 and for i9020t/23 (this won't work for nexus 4g or i9020a). It worked well for me so I thought someone else might find it useful.
If you're having problems it's probably because you haven't installed the windows drivers correctly, I can't really help you there (google it or something!)
If you want to thank anyone, go to the other thread and thank michaelpeerman. All credit goes to him.
Edit: By request, someone wanted the same thing but for 2.3.6, so here is the link for that

Hi there!
Is the One CLick 2.3.6 edition compatible with 9023?

I have a i9020T stock 4.0.4 never rooted. If I run the 2.3.6 script,will it go back to stock 2.3.6 without problems?

My understanding is that you require root to flash any ROM, this would be no exception. It wouldn't be that hard to root and then run the tool though.

But there'll be no problem rolling back to 2.3.6 from stock (rooted) 4.0.4?

Hi,
I got a really f******g problem with my NS. The power button is out of service. Thus my only aim is to get back to the unroot locked bootloader rom in order to send it to samsung.
I tried to do that manually with cmd.
I tried via Odin
I tried via your one click zip
I used my computer (the one i used to root it for the first time, guessing the drivers didn't change). Everytime, the command got stuck at 'waiting for device'. I thought it was a driver problem, tried to reinstall sdk, reinstall drivers. I'm still blocked at waiting for device.
I tried with another 'virgin' computer. I installed PDAnet to get drivers and make sure they work. (tried CMD or with your one click zip..) I'm still still stucked at waiting for device. However, my device do is recognised by both computers..4
Any idea?
Is my ****ing power button messing around?
Two days i'm drudging on this.. I'm thinking about suicide by now..

Sorry mate I really have no idea, maybe you could try calling up samsung and ask them if they would repair it even if you rooted? It is a developer phone and so they must understand that most people with a Nexus S root it..

I'm looking to sell my NS so wanted to get it back to stock and this script worked perfectly. Thanks so much!

Full rooting guide for xperia t lt30p build 7.0.A.3.195

After having many problems rooting my xperia t james bond phone, I decided making a noob-ready tutorial on how to root the xperia t and probably other phones aswell.
No technical stuff, just follow the steps and you will be rooted in no time.
I did this with:
android version 4.0.4
build 7.0.A.3.195
So the very first thing you should do is unlocking your bootloader. Sony has made their own tutorial on how to do this, but It can be a little complicated. Im gonna link you to it and to a videp which explains it very well. I prefer the video myself.
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/ and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0e1DYnoxUm0
After that you will need to unlock recovery mode. You can do this in 2 ways but I prefer the easy one.
The easy one is:
Installing a custom kernel with recovery mode integrated in it.
Use this link to download the kernel or go to the forum thread where I found it:
http://www.mediafire.com/?n4v89r2fvri2wlb
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1922925
Now that you've got the kernel with recovery mode integrated downloaded, we need to flash/install it into the phone.
You need to do this via flashtool. That's atleast the easiest I think.
You can download flashtool from the following website:
http://androxyde.github.com/
Install it. If you have problems installing the drivers for flashtool, you can use this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOC57DfI1zo
Now you need to make sure your phone is on and connected to your pc.
Open flashtool and click on the thunderbolt in the upper left corner.
Select fastboot mode.
Now select "Reboot into fastboot mode (via ADB)"
Wait for it to reboot. There should be a blue light turned on, on your phone.
Now look at your pc screen again. Click on "Select Kernel To Flash"
Select the kernel that I Gave you in the beginning of the tutorial.
Wait for it to install and your mobile probably reboot etc. untill it is on.
Now download Superuser zip file : https://rapidshare.com/#!download|939p5|3415386268|Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip|1324|0|0
Place the Superuser zip file on your mobile phone memory card or internal memory.
Now Turn off your phone completely.
Now we are gonna go into recovery mode to install Superuser.
There are several ways to do this but the one I use is holding both the volume buttons down and then holding the power button aswell.
(I did this when my phone was connected from my pc) or you use this video (skip to 3:31)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fMk0PhA_qc
It should boot into recovery mode. You can use the volume buttons to go up and down and the power button to select. Browse to the sdcard for the superuser.zip file and install it. (the most easy part).
Now go back to the start screen of recovery mode and select reboot into system.
Done, you have now got a fully rooted xperia T lt30p
Please tell me if I missed something. My first post ever lol
This post helped me alot:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1903137

Many thanks for your input here, but it is just a replication of the all in one thread instructions.
Also, to enter recovery mode you just need to press the volume up button when the purple led appears at boot up, you dont need to press all 3 buttons.
Also, you can download the SuperSU.apk directly from the market instead of flashing it in recovery.
Never the less, this is quite comprehensive and i have linked it to the all in one thread.

Yea, I know it's just recycled stuff but it is just for a nooby that doesen't know how to do stuff. I had like 10 tabs opened trying to root my xperia t.
This brings that number down lol

Well its certainly nice to see someones first post as a contibution rather that just asking for questions when the information is already out there.

If your bootloader is locked, to root, just use this, tested and working with a LOCKED bootloader on the Xperia T firmware 7.0.A.1.303 :

This method only works on the older firmware, as is mentioned several time in the all in one thread. If you have updated to the newer firmware 7.0.A.3.*** then THERE IS NO METHOD TO ROOT PHONE WITHOUT UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER!

My apologies, just learning the sony ropes, so to speak, I've come across from the Optimus 3D (free upgrade to Xperia T) my O3D is now running Xbsall's I.C.S. port.
Now I'm rooted on my current firmware, can I upgrade to the latest Xperia T firmware and if so how? As I've said, I'm a sony noob, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards.

Update via SUES or PCCompanion if your firmware has the official update. If not you can still upgrade via flashtool, just read the all in one thread. All information is there.
However, if you update the only way to root is unlock your bootloader.

Thats irrelevant.
Have you checked if you can unlock the bootloader yet? If you cant then you will not be able to root.
Make sure you read the all in one thread fully so you know what you are doing. It would be better if you ask questiosn there, I monitor that thread closely

No, it's relevant, with all due respect, why didn't my 303 firmware accept updates until it was rooted?

coincidence, official updates do not rely on root status.

many thanks. Was devastated when I had to send my 3 week old T back,
am a partial noob here and worked fine on the latest version of the phone software. :good:

This firmware can now be rooted without unlocking the bootloader, read post 2 of the All in one thread (Q&A section) to find instructions..

Now i can unlock the bootloader but i dont want to becouse of the warranty of the phone.
And love the stock rom.
Is there any change in the future of getting root acces on the stock firmware?

Flash a stock generic 303 firmware, found in the all in one thread.
Root using bin4rys method.
Then follow the thread for keeping root on an OTA update,
But first, read the all in ine thread, its the very first thread in this section.

But you can't flash anything with out x recovery and root acces i always thought?
I will read the topic's again.
Thx in advanced

No,
You can always use flashtool to flash a stock ftf no matter on root status. Read the thread.
There are several threads on how to root 195 firmware.
Root access is not automatic, xperia phones do not come rooted, you have to do it yourself

I know how it al works, with the x10.
Now i have a Xperia T but cant find the drivers.
Flashtool is asking about the drivers, and i did install al of them.
But there is no T drivers.
Isn't there a tutorial or something what i can read about.

02/016/2012 23:16:45 - ERROR - You can find them in the drivers folder of Flashtool.

yes, but not directly, there are plenty of guides in the general section.
It basically involves downgrading to 303, rooting and then doing an OTA update to 195.

Install both Flashtoll driver and TX driver was fine for me (done with 0.9.8.0 version).

Something else I've discovered (since I re-flashed stock firmware again today on a different PC) is that the phone drivers often don't initialise in time if using latest Windows OS (Win 7 in my case) since the PC looks online for drivers before trying the installed ones.
Clicking the new hardware wizard icon and skipping the Windows Update drivers check got the phone recognised.
If I helped hit thanks!

Tanks all for the answers.
But i did al you all said but nothing is working.
I did install pc companion again.
Installed al the drivers.
And stil the same error.

Edit: found the problem.
I did use vol button up.

Some one please help!!!!

i ahve tried to install a custom rom but it didnt flash properly, and i tried to do a restore of my stock rom but its not on my phone anymore all i can do is put the phone into bootloader and recovery, i have my stock rom backed up on my pc, but i cant find a way of getting my pc to recognise the phone to enable me to get the stock rom installed, my 400pound htc one might as well be a paperweight at this rate!!
surly there is a way i can get acess to the internal sd card??

It depends on the recovery, but it works in TWRP.
It is the ROM that is rooted, so if you sideload a non-rooted ROM and flash it, you will lose root. It seems you don't have a working ROM, so you don't "have" root.

Let me correct you. You had a custom ROM that was rooted.
My suggestion is to fix the problem.
I can't help you because:
1) I don't know what recovery you have
2) I don't know what tutorial you followed
3) I don't know in which way it is "not working"
I suggest you flash TWRP 2.6.3.4 and use adb sideload.

You need to get adb working on your PC or you could try what bored_stupid is suggesting. You are a long why from requiring supersu at this point.

You don't even have a working rom so why are you still talking about root??? You don't need root to use a usb otg cable to flash a rom.
Make sure you have the latest android sdk installed on your computer and latest htc drivers.

It is problem globally! Google is experiencing major error with sync servers.
or try this: go to accounts.google.com and in security (left panel) go to the list of 3rd party applications that are using your Google credentials and start revoking the applications that you no longer use.

[Q] Xperia T Dead

Hey guys. I was trying to install Cm10 on my sister's xperia T. I rooted it, installed recovery, wiped everything but after I flashed CM and clicked reboot, the phone is dead. I can't turn it on, I can't enter recovery mode, the PC isn't recognising it. If I push the on/off button it vibrates once but then nothing and if I push at the same time power on and volume up, it vibrates three times but then again nothing.
I know I forgot to do something while installing the ROM but please any piece of help might be extremely useful as I ended up with a dead phone and nothing I can do.

Did you unlock the phone's bootloader? Because custom roms like cyanogenmod require an unlocked bootloader for xperia phones. Also, try using the flashtool to revive your phone. This sounds pretty much like a soft brick. If I'm right, it's 100% guarandeed you can bring the phone back to life.

Who would use Emma when you've got Flashtool?
Also, you should really figure out if your bootloader is unlocked or not.

While waiting for an answer I downloaded flashtool, found a suitable ROM to flash (from flashtool website), installed the device's drivers, entered flash mode but then Flashtool showed me this

Are there other errors above the ones seen there?
What ROM did you Flash? Maybe you could try with ones found here on XDA.
Also, when you start up the FlashMode process in Flashtools, is your phone already connected?

Yes it was a problem caused by the ROM I was trying to install. I found one with stock 4.0.4 and flashed it and finally it came back to life.
And in fact it is faster than when it was running 4.3.3

Guess what: if you don't like the 4.04, you can find official 4.3 firmware files in this site. There's a collection of these things. Just search for them.

Thanks for the tip. In fact I'll make another effort to install CM and this time I'll make sure to follow every step properly. But comparing the two editions, I think 4.0 is smoother than 4.3.
