So yea, I'm looking everywhere on how to root an Xperia TX. I admit I'm a bit of a noob but I just want to root my phone. I previously had an Optimus One and I successfully rooted that and applied a custom recovery loader along with a custom ROM aswell so I'm not a complete noob.
Every where I look, the website is either not reliable or the guide is for the Xperia T or V. I'm a little worried about following an Xperia T guide so I just wanted to ask what would be best to do or if anyone has a guide that they can link me to?
Thanks in advance.
I have to say, I am really enjoying the community even though this is my first time posting.

Still a little unsure, it says nothing about the TX and I dont exactly know about firmwares and such.

First.
Remove the mention of the app from the OP. Any mention of warez etc is banned from xda.
Secondly.
Just follow the instructions to root.
If you are on newer firmware 195 or 223 then flash a TX firmware that is 303 (Or equivalent)
Then use bin4rys method to root, then the method to update back to newer firmware whilst keeping root. Its all in that thread.
Same for me, it wasn't clear in that thread.

You just saved me and my phones life I just ordered a TL29i and it will arrive next week. First order of business is to root! Do these come with a locked bootloader? I know Sony has a website to unlock it for "developers."
It depends, I would have asked the people I was getting it from before you ordered it... Beyer hope it is otherwise there is no unofficial way to unlock yet

Did you ever get your LT29i (TX) rooted successfully? Just un-boxed mine and charging it before I even try rooting it. Any tips or advice on reading through all those threads?

Dear XDA users!
I got my T-mobile branded Xperia Z C6603 with 10.3.1.A.2.67 firmware.
I want to root it, i read a lot tutorials, but i don't understood what i have to do.
When I dial the service nuber, in the configuration the rooting status is: Bootloader unlock allowed: NO.
So i don't know how to unlock and root it.
Please help me.
Thanks
You cannot unlock the bootloader, but you should be able to root your xz with kingo android

Don't think you should recommend Kingo Root to users.
The program tries to contact servers in China for the root, for no reason and the developer of the application refuses to answer any questions regarding it.
It WAS discussed In this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2460745& 'til a mod closed it due to lack of response from the software developer and it seems insecure

as the post above says.
However, that is perfectly safe to unlock your bootloader (Infact it is the only way to do it)
However, you will lose warranty.
On the plus side you can install a custom kernel to gain automatic root (Without the need to go through any other rooting methods) and install ALL custom roms.

Yes, it totally wipes all data on the phone, e.g contacts, messages, call history, apps and data, and everything which belongs to internal storage.
You should get a backup before you unlock your BL.
You should just unlock it if you wanna root, and be aware of its pros and cons

He is right
After I rooted my Z1, I figured out that there's no need to unlock BL for root
Read the posts that don't need to unlock BL

Yes it is well known that there is no need to unlock in order to root
However, he has a Z1S. There is no way to root that phone at all, so the point is moot.
He cannot unlock the boot AND he cannot root.
Really? Z1S is unroorable? Or it's like Z1 kitkat, hard to root?

Its impossible.
Z1 KK is rootable because you can downgrade.
There are no rootable firmwares for the Z1S as it was introduced on 4.3 which has no root exploit.

you can only do that after unlocking the bootloader. But doing it that means you do not get to back up your TA.
Unlocking the bootloader is an easy way to get root, but not always the best way

AT the time I wrote that it was impossible, but yes root has been achieved.
However, unlocking the boot on a Z1S is still impossible
