[Solved] 7.0.A.3.195 Root acces?

Hello all,
I got a Xperia T, with firmware 7.0.A.3.195.
Now i want root acces for it but there isn't exploid for it yet.
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?
Greetings

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.

Is it possible to root Xperia TX .197 frimware without unlocking bootloader ?

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.

I had problems first time around (using Flashtool). I had to install ALL the drivers regardless of device and set my phone into mass storage mode with USB debugging on to get it to work.
If I helped hit thanks!

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.

[Q] Flashing in Emma and then rooting

Hey guys,
I have been trying to root my Xperia Z (10.3.1.A.2.67) for the past three hours now with no success..
I followed this guide: www android gs/root-xperia-z-stock-10-3-1-a-0-2442-67-firmware/ and am now stuck at step 3 of the actual rooting (not the preparation). I cannot seem to find how I can flash the custom kernel to my phone using Emma.
I have googled around for a while and found that I can add services to Emma using the tools menu, too bad I don't have one: prntscr com/23psmy
I would love to root my phone or at least get my own kernel thingy back D:

It seems that flashtool is a 16 bit programme, and windows 8 x64 does not support anything below 32 bit D:

Of course Flashtool work on W8.

One thing to consider is that Emma Flashtool is NOT Flashtools.
You CANNOT flash custom kernels from Emma.

I have, and it does NOT work, tried every windows version in there, not a single one worked. Tried restarting, safe mode, compatibility mode, admin mode and restarting again. It's been way too long now and I'm just giving up. This went so much easier with my S3...
I'll try again tomorrow if I feel like it but if I have to go through all this freaking trouble I don't think it'll be worth it..

Can anyone please help my with this? Because I don't want to have a reset phone that hasn't even been rooted..

Download it again and check the MD5 of the file you downloaded. As a quick check, the file should be around 112MB.
Something is definitely wrong, as there are many people using Flashtool on Windows 8 without issues and it is definitely not a 16 bit application (32 and 64 bit executables are installed).

Alright I got it to work now. However, I get the following error when trying to flash another kernel:
13/016/2013 21:16:11 - INFO - Please unplug and start your phone
13/016/2013 21:16:11 - INFO - For flashtool, Unknown Sources and Debugging must be checked in phone settings
13/016/2013 21:16:11 - INFO - Device connected in flash mode

I enabled debugging and unknown sources and held my flash button (volume down) while plugging in my phone again. (Also tried volume up) Neither one worked.
The only thing that changed is that my wifi won't enable anymore.

Can't see any errors. Looks like a clean kernel flash.
What's exactly the error? You lacking wifi? Are you using a custom kernel like DooMLord's?
For wifi to work on Doom's kernel you have to flash the kernel.zip from recovery.

I also don't see any errors. Don't worry about wifi not working. You should only be running with the old kernel long enough to root, so it doesn't matter.
Root using DooMLoRD's script, flash your original kernel back and you're done.

I know it should work, but my phone (settings -> about phone) still shows the old version ..

Have you actually tried to root? I never even checked in About phone after flashing the kernel. I just booted the phone and rooted it.

[Q] Xperia UI modifications help. [SOLVED]

Hi my name is John.
I had a account here before but it seems my account has been deleted.
when i had that account i had allot of info on how to install mods and such.
Now i have a new mobile Xperia V
I am wondering if some know where i can get a tutorial on how to flash my mobile and get mods in it.
I do not want to make my own mod just so u know so im wondering if there is a tutorial on it and if some knows a nice transparent look or something.
I really would like to get the bottom bar with transparent look and with pulsating lights on the icons like the back home and shortcut icons.
I hope some can tip me on some tutorials atleast but it would be even greater if some can say good UI styles to. I would be so thankful if some can help me. i really don't like the neutral look and lac of options in the stock versions..

- Root your phone
- Install Clockworkmod Recovery
- Install Xposed Installer
- Install Gravitybox and get more UI options you ever thought about
That will also help you to learn more about your device first. Afterwards you can still take your time and look around for some other mods that can be flashed or otherwise installed permanent.

Thanks.

So there's none here can help me ?

connect your phone to PC
enable USB debugging on the phone
unzipp the file attached
click on install.bat and follow the simple instructions
Well you must be using a ROM otherwise you could not root your phone. It is the stock ROM I assume. I hope 4.1.2.

You need a ROM that can be flashed via Recovery in the first place. All ROM developers will tell you in their opening thread about the requirements. Some require flashtool, mostly those that work with unlocked bootloaders. Some require a Recovery, usually those that work with locked bootloaders (these work with unlocked BL, too).

The file u attached is called CWM4XperiaT not CWM4XperiaV
and if you don't believe me that you can root with a FTF file then i can upload it so u can test yourself..
how i did it was used flashmod in flashtool and then sellected the ftf file called LT25i_9.1.A.0.490_Nordic.ftf
after that i flashed a kernel with Fastboot called LT25_SXV_Stok_Kernel_9.1.A.0.490_Dogsly.ftf
then i just used the tool root device in flashtool and then i got root..
now my problem is that i dont have any recovery like TWRP or CWM
ive done a new question thread asking for help on how to get it..

Install the CWM attached. Wow. Anyway, up to you.

Well, usually when you have pc companion installed and you plug in your phone for the very first time with usb debugging enabled, all the necessary drivers are installed automatically.

If it works out for you then good otherwise then follow this one http://visualgdb.com/tutorials/android/usbdebug/manualinstall.php hope it helps

HELP,Z3 compact flashing error :(

Grrr I'm literally pulling my hair out trying to figure it out lol help pretty please

It appears you may not have the correct adb drivers installed, or the ftf you have is corrupt
