[Q] Getting started with Xperia T Rooting/Flashing

Hey guys. Im new to this whole Flash thing and I actually need lots of help. I had an HTC Desire Z before getting Xperia T and rooting was the traditional way, easy to do. Is there any possible way for me to root my phone? I've tried "Root many android", somewhere in this forum but when my phone gets to restore RootMe, nothing happens and I cant proceed.. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance..
P.S.: Im on 4.1.2, updated yesterday.

Come on, somebody must know what I need to do..

Well, correct me if im wrong, but in order to flash a ROM without ROOTING I need to unlock Bootloader?

First Read the rules. You are not allowed to bump a thread in less than 24 hours.
Secondly Read the all in one thread. It is not hard to find, it's the first thread in this section

No, not on this firmware but it is possible to get that firmware with root via downgrading to .303 (ICS), rooting with Bin4rys method, installing recovery and flashing a rooted .489 ROM.

Why would you not root if you unlock your bootloader? Unlocking your bootloader is done to allow flashing of custom kernels, all of which are rooted. After unlocking your bootloader your warrenty is void, but you could root the phone and keep warrenty. And all custom roms are rooted so once you flash a custom ROM you have root....

4. For flashing instructions please check TiMiN8R's post ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2026918 ). This rom comes from reverse engineering of TiMiN8R's 489 rom.
5. Please download and install SuperSU from any app store by yourself.

Is CWM for locked bootloader available to this rom?
I ask so because CWM is not work in 490 stock root (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173298) ,
which is also a odex version.
Not sure if there is something to do between CWM and (de)odex.

There is no relationship between CWM and odex I think.

kernel
Will this or will not work with the 489 kernel and is there any difference since the 489 build?

The OP should ask the moderators to move this to development.
It's pretty much an ftf, but if you convert it to a. Zip and root it then it's not general.

it works fine with the .489 kernel because the kernel hasn't changed. Other changes I can't say yet.

I'm still on that rom, now it notices me for the upgrade 9.1.A.1.140
Upgrading would brick the phone or maybe I would just loose CWM and rooting?

It's a small update, 19.2 Mb.

Download ftf,
Put it in the flashtool/firmware folder,
Start flashtool,
Click on symbol left at the top,
Choose flashmode,
Choose the ftf you wanna flash,
Wait for a window to pop up,
Then connect phone in flashmode and wait till flashing is finished.

Don't forget to also download the drivers which you can do easily with windows. Go to C:/FlashTool/drivers and click the icon. Otherwise you won't be able to enter flash mode if you haven't put the drivers in the folders too. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45464122&postcount=3

Can you unlock your bootloader? If so, then you could easily root. If you can i suggest you to unlock it.
If not, you must downgrade and get a pre-rooted firmware.

Bravia engine just oversaturates colors and make them look like amoled. No offense but if this is the only reason you should unlock.
Also bravia enginr still works for videos.

To downgrade using flashtool you don't need a custom recovery/root
