Dear Xperia T users,
Some of you might already know me, but some won't. I'm a developer for Sony Xperia phones and I have some experience now
I'm looking for people that are willing to test a kernel with recovery for me
When we have a working recovery I'll also need testers for my custom rom: KA Xperia SSpeed
I haven't started to make the kernel with recovery yet, first I need to know if there is interest in this at the moment?
Thank you,

ok, pm me if you want to test some stuff
just flashing kernels to begin, but it won't brick your device if you follow my instructions
Hey Krabbple , if you realease roms for t then try to ask pple to test on tx because its exactly the same but diff design / remove batt. also it might be compatible for v but kernel flashing may be diff.
I will test. I have unlocked bootloader and rooted. Both kernel in other thread just stick on bootlogo

new kernels posted, let's hope they boot this time the command I use should be good, I used the right base adresses
I posted 2 insecure kernels, please test them both and report back to me
I am getting my T next week krab, we could join up for development?
Ive got mine now, put me down for helping to test the ROM's and such, would rather be honest and say that I have no idea on how to flash a kernel.
My Xperia T should arrive in the next days to be compared with a S3 first hand. I'm pretty sure the S3 will lose and will be sent back to Amazon - and I'm absolutely up for some crazy flashing
What can I do to help development? Should I dump the firmware and upload it? It is from O2 Germany and without a simlock, can't say if it is branded yet.
the big and might Codeworkx is having the T too....
expect fabulous dev work here !!!!
Can't wait Krab
Bring the Rom & Kernel on.. LOL

Hi
I've got a xperia T and I would like to develop but I have a problem, I can't unlooked my bootloader, so, how can I help?
Hi there, I am a noob to this forum, so apologies if this thread ends up in the wrong place!
I purchased a Sony Xperia T on Monday (17/12/12) after my HTC Desire broke
So far a great phone, I just get fed up with all the adverts on my games! I want to root it and just get the standard 'apps' for rooted phones ie. AdAway, Titanium Backup etc.
I rooted and installed custom ROMs on the Desire with no problem, but I can't seem to do this on the T. I have scoured the net for tutorials and guides and everything else, but nothing seems to be working.I am trying to use Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v4.
I follow the instructions to the letter- choose phone, insert USB, choose restore, and wait... sometimes it reboots, others it just does nothing. Even when it does reboot, it still doesn't root.
Specs:
Model Number= LT30P
Android Version= 4.0.4
Baseband Version= 8960A-AAAAANAZQ-10015019-19
Kernel Version= 3.0.8+1.0.21100-02477-g0d376f4
Build Number= 7.0.A.3.195
I am on UK Orange/EE
USB Debugging is enabled...
Sorry about the long post, I wanted to give as much info as I could so I can hopefully get this done.
In advance, thanks :fingers-crossed:

you cannot root 7.0.A.3.195 unless you unlock your bootloader.
check Q&A section for all in one thread (sticky), everything in there.
You CAN root .195. Firmware but that needs some work. Just go to the all in one thread in the questions and answer section and read that thread. It has every info you need for rooting.

i think i was pretty clear in answering his question.. and pointed him to Q&A thread.
Welcome to the forum. Please make sure you post in the relevant section to what you're posting about, i.e. all questions belong here in Q&A.
Also the best thing to do is always search first as gregbradley has kindly put together an all in one thread at the top of this section which will help you with most common questions.
Thanks

Hi,
If you want I can help you to root your device with the version you have (.195). I got my Xperia T last week and I directly rooted it and it works perfectly.

If you did it without unlocking the bootloader or without flashing a prerooted stock image through CWM please share because those are the only methods that I am aware of currently working.

There is a method will documented in the q&a, requires flashing. 303 and rooting, installing cwm and then restoring a 195. As mentioned above, check the all in one thread.
The following link gives info, please search first.

Thanks everyone, 'thanks' has been clicked
Before I do this a) is there any way to 'unroot' the phone, as it voids warranty etc? And b) is it a huge improvement on stock, unrooted? Looking at the posts mentioned it appears to be stable, but just want some feedback from you guys.
Thanks guys

I'm with you on this one Spec. If there is a direct way of rooting the phone without the round-about way. I'm all ears.
Hey so I have a Xperia TL and I see video's of people having a custom rom's (such as jelly beam) on my the tl which is a locked boot loader phone. Can somebody give me instructions on how to put a custom rom on my phone?

OK, I understand you cannot ask in that thread, fair enough.
But a bit of reading will tel you that you can not flash that rom on stock kernel.
Please read this you will make much further steps forward if you try for yourself instead of asking..
its the old story of giving a man a fish or a teaching how to fish.
I remember when I was a noob at Android Rooting and Flashing, but now all of that changed. Now I flash tons of weird files onto my phone and flashed more than I can remember. I even hard bricked my TL before. ( i got a new one from warranty ). My question is... Why bump this old thread
Hello all,
I know this has been already asked and some of us have found solution to rooting of .253 FW but it is very complicated and while doing it, someone may brick the device.. So can anyone n specially Doom find a better n easy way of rooting it? just like we had for .350 n .434 FW.. Please see it will be very helpful.. Downloading multiple ftf/zip is confusing n time consuming...
1. No need for ANOTHER thread on this. There are already 2 on the first page.
2. Do you think it is that easy? You just ask and somebody produces an easy way to root the new firmware? If you are a "Software test engineer" as your profile states, then you should have an idea of the difficulties involved.

Software in this case is probably html and engineer in this case probably means testing web pages in multiple different browsers to see if the pages break.

Yes, I know there must be difficulties involved.. but if u rememeber, DoomLord had acquired the root access even before the device was launched in India.. So if he could do, he certainly can do something like that again.. Hopefully no need to flash multiple FTF/zips, it just increases the confusion..

When one does not have full idea, one should not utter nonsense... I have been testing different softwares on different platform including android as well from last 4.5 yrs :silly:. so better get the info first before making any comments.

My point was that this thread is completely pointless and unnecessary. Do you think devs are just sitting around waiting for someone to ask this and they then think "Hey, he's right! I'll get right on it and make a one click solution!"?
It's not that simple. The exploit used to root with a locked bootloader has been patched and there is no guarantee that another can be found.

Yes, I do understand that it is quite difficult to get another exploit to gain the root access.. still it was just a humble request..
Rather than sit around and "request" (I like to think of it as demanding rather than requesting), you have 2 options:
1. Wait.
2. Find the exploit yourself.

+1, and if you're finding it too "complicated" then you need to READ any instructions again, and get used to it because whenever a new FW is released the existing methods will either work or not and requires a bit of thought, or you need to be patient and wait for new solution, starting new threads isn't going to speed up the process.

i think we can flash 253 ftf file with flash tool , exclude system.sin this could keep your root access.
You may say he's been a noob or whatever but i've come from samsung devices and i'm having difficulty working out how to do this on the XZ, i understand new software, but even on .434 i only had root as i found recovery installs confusing.
Even with ODIN on samsung you flashed a ROM, then a RECOVERY and you were good to go.
If Flashtool could install recovery i'd probably be ok, but like this guy a one click root would be great as the sony way seems confusing first time round

Then get on with creating it lol.
Like I already said, it's not as simple as just asking for it. Somebody has to actually find a new exploit (no easy task, if it's actually possible) then create a package to perform that exploit.
If the current method is too confusing, then don't use it. This site is supposedly for development anyway, not for holding people's hands

Cam mods close these kind of threads, it's flooding.
Come on it is very easy to upgrade root the new firmware just follow steps of NUT gave in his post. I did it in a few minutes and didnt lost any data in the process. (only my mods was lost but it is expected )
I cant understand people what more do you want? ıt is like do this than do that and done!

Hi, I'm a little bit nervous about install Cyanogen mod on my phone (that was my original plan) but since it's not officially supported by the rom I don't want to risk it.
Could someone tell me what roms officially support the Xperia T please?
Thanks
Edit: When a rom says "requires unlocked bootloader" will being rooted work for that or is it a completely different thing I must go through? And does anyone know what the MOST stable rom for an Xperia T is? (Sorry for the bombardment of questions).

Hi there!!!!!
The most stable and fast Rom for T is 9.2.A.1.205 Stock....Odex...rooted....and Hard (very hard) debloated.
And change some Apk like Album.....movies and others.

Thanks for the info, but I'm left with some questions. Is there a guide somewhere for very hard debloating? What does Odex mean? And I don't know what you mean by "change some apks". Do you mean replacing them with some other app? Like from the app store?
I think xperia t is officially supported by omni ,cm and aokp.There would not be any deadly risk only if you folllowed the correct steps.
