[STOCK FIRMWARE] Xperia T 7.0.A.1.303 FTF [UK O2 Branded / Bond Skyfall Theme]

This is the original stock UK O2 firmware for the Sony Xperia T LT30p, version 7.0.A.1.303. Thought id share it as have not seen any firmware around yet in this section. This was pre-installed on my device when I purchased it. Feel free to mirror / extract etc.
This was recently signed on PTCRB:
http://www.xperiablog.net/2012/09/28/xperia-t-and-xperia-tx-firmware-pops-up-on-ptcrb/
I used the following guide to generate it, so it is completely stock:-

Does this have the Bond theme? I never made a backup of mine when i flashed Stock.

Yes
This includes the Bond / Skyfall theme, bare in mind it will also have the o2 start up and shut down splash animation.

Without filling this thread up with requests, why dont you just post the link yourself....
Or send it to me and I can add it to the all in one thread if its not already there. And if it is, you should direct people to that thread so we dont end up with lots of "+1, me too please" posts.

Apologies...didnt realise there was a all in one thread. lets keep the link here as the title is about the O2 Bond edition and you could have the link there too.
Thanks to JJD809 who kindly provided the Bond content to me sometime back.
Skyfall Content
Needs root to get the actual theme installed, but can have the ringtone & notification anywhere as usual ringtones and select.
Skyfall.apk needs to be copied to 'system/vendor/overlay/framework' folder and permissions changed and reboot!

OK, I hadnt realised you had just extracted the theme. I though it was a non branded ftf with the skyfall theme. I am not linkinh any themes and apps to the all in one thred as that becomes to much.
It will just be better to upload that to mediafire and share it, otherwise your dropbox account may get banned for over use.
I suggest you share it in the themes and apps section.

This does not contain the video blog files as they are too large. Dropbox link will be now deleted

so there is no other way to install the theme by rooting the phone? That sucks cause i have no clue how to do it is there complete tutorial and is it safe? Are any disadvantages of rooting your phone? (longer boot time etc)

D'oh.
Check the all in one thread in the Q&a on how to root.
As for the advantages, the first one is that you can apply this theme!

[Q] Rooting the Xperia V [Solved]

Hello nice people of this forum, I've just got myself an Xperia V, running 9.0.1.D.0.10, and is looking for a method to root it without unlocking the bootloader.
I've tried googling it and searching the forums but came back empty. Perhaps some nice person can help me.
Thanks,
Aaron

If you look in v android development there is an unsecure kernel, but this is for older firmware, maybe it works
Edit: you must unlock bootloader for custom kernel, i do not think bin4ry method works for newer firmwares

Thanks so much for your quick responses.
So right now, we have no root access without unlocking the bootloader.
Hopefully the genius developers will come up with something soon. A little bothered by the bloatware from my provider.
Thanks guys,

Hi funiewski,
I have tried rooting by flashing that kernel but I don't seems to get root when I check with the root checker app. Would you be able to advise on this? I would have posted in that thread but apparently I don't have enough post count.

Singtel hah? Hahaha ask Palmer clear for you lor.
Serious: I'm getting a V soon and is the bloatware that bad?
EDIT: You can clear bloatware by flashing an international version of the firmware.

There may be a way to root without unlocked bootloader
Try this well-known way of rooting Xperia AX in Japan.
I guess it's also possible for V to root.
1. Here is a Xperia VL's old rom and you can flash this kernel.sin and system.sin with V's loader.sin.
I can't post the link, but you can find it in uploaded.net. The ID is 3gvvv3w6.
2. Then, Root.
3. Create /data/local.prop (ro.kernel.qemu=1).
4. Flash V's system.sin without wiping.
5. Replace ric, install Busybox and Superuser.
6. Flash V's kernel.sin without wiping.
7. Do Factory data reset to easily delete unnecessary apps.

[Q] Does anyone have the generic .534 FTF for the C6906?

Looking for the generic 14.1.G.1.534 FTF file for the C6906. The FTF thread in the general section has the Rogers branded .534 file. Thanks in advance.

Despite how old this is, I'm also looking for a C6906 generic 534 FTF. I'm having problems getting 257 to root and want to back even farther and see if that helps. Anyone have this FTF laying around?

Hmm, thanks. That's a C6903 FTF, though. Anyone know what happens if I flash that on a C6906? My guess is at minimum I lose LTE.

I've flashed the rogers 534 ftf a few times and for some reason, the rogers crap didn't install the last couple of times.
I now have a generic z1 so maybe rogers stuff only gets installed to rogers phones somehow.

[Q] Kitkat Stock ROM

Hey guys quick question, i am currently living with my long suffering firmware that is jellybean...the phones needing a good clean out and update!
So i was wondering if there is a UK regional FTF for the latest kit kat?
BUT ALSO! i have seen generic ES (Spain) Regional FTFs for Kit Kat and i will be moving to Spain in September.. so should i just go a head and flash that? i don't know the difference between ES & UK (not that i have managed to find a UK version, maybe someone could point me in the right direction)
Also are these FTFs available for rooting? my phone is currently rooted with CWM and will most likely want to re-root after i have flashed with flashtools..
sorry to ask such nooby questions
Thanks
Chris

Battery drain will be there initially but it will disappear after play store automatically updates.

I had rooted using the old school method because towelroot was not availabe then
Towelroot will work to root and its the easiest way at the moment.
After rooting just download and install SuperSU from play store.
After flashing firmware Bootloader wont be locked again
Kernel and Root are two different things
You will have to flash recovery again though as flashing firmware will remove the recovery
You can get the recovery from here
Dont follow root instructions from the link as you will be rooted after using towelroot
