You need a custom kernel. And to install one, you need an unlocked bootloader.. which will break your warranty on many cases, so be careful

Already unlocked my bootloader,
Sorry, I'm a rookie at android devices, where can I get a custom kernel
And what do i need to do after that?
EDIT: It seems we replied at the same time! haha.. nevermind what I said below then....
Also note that a lot of our Xperia T's bootloaders are NOT unlockable. There is a code you can dial on your phone to take you to a service menu where it will tell you if your bootloader is unlockable. If it says No, then your bootloader simply cannot be unlocked. Then you can join the many of us who patiently pray and wait for someone out there to crack or work around it

Look for a kernel in the XT Development section..
As far as I know, you need to flash it via Flashtool. But I still have locked bl, so you better ask someone with more experience

Just out of interest, when an FTF file becomes available, could you then flash it with flashtool on a stock ICS locked bootloader?
Judging by past firmware updates, it's taken 2/3 months for Orange to push an update.
Yes, or you could flash the 303 generic UK and ota to current. You'll then get jelly when Sony says not ee.

I wonder how I flashed my V with its locked bootloader to Xperia VL's firmware using Flashtool, then.
All you need is matching signatures, and all similar models share them.
Yes good news

Sorry but you've got that wrong, you can use flashtool to flash an official ftf onto a phone with a locked bootloader, I've done it loads of times with my xperia's. In essence if your locked to a network orange, t-mobile ect then you can get the region generic ftf and flash it with flashtool to debrand your phone
What you can't do is flash custom ROMs which require a custom kernel.

Thanks for the responses guys, I thought it would be possible, the only reason I ask is that I've flashed ICS firmwares to the T in the past, but wasn't sure with it being a different version of the OS.

Please read before continuing to facepalm yourself.
Flashtool does not require your bootloader to be unlocked. It also does not even you require your phone ot be rooted.
Flashtool can be used on any xperia phone regardless. It does not require fastboot

So this is 4.1? I got the update in sony bridge, but updating means I lose my root right? (locked bootloader)

Not always, there are ways around it. But in general yes.
Once the new firmware hits users with locked bootloaders we will see if we lose root, but then we will also find a way to root the newfirmware or find a way to update that does not lose root.
I dont know why some people wants to re-lock their bootloader when DRM is long gone since you unlock it the very first time. No DRM = warranty is void. Or is there something else to it?

I see. Thanks. But I thought the main reason people unlocking bootloader is because they want to move away from stock rom, no? And since custom rom is way better than stock anyway, so, I dont see why anyone would need to update via official release :/

Stock based custom roms can be installed on locked bootloader. People unlock their bootloaders to flash roms which use a kernel other than stock kernel like PA, CM10 etc. Also, just in case something happens to your phone, it is wiser to relock the bootloader and flash a stock rom and then send it for repairs.
Also, it depends on your country too. In my country although my DRM keys were lost, I relocked my bootloader and gave it for repairs. They repaired it within the warranty.

Likewise. There are a couple of things (and literally a couple) that I miss from CM but the Xperia software is really very close to AOSP. I'm rooted and I've flashed the black soft button bar but that's all I'm going to do until Sony release 4.2. Once that's out, then I'll decide whether I want a custom ROM or not.
Hey guys, i just rooted my phone and was looking forward to putting the new cyanogenmod rom on my phone, until i found out att has to ruin everything and wont let the bootloader be unlocked. I was looking around for a workaround and some places said it might be possible to do it in recovery mode with CWM..can anyone tell me if this is possible? Is it even possible to do with a locked bootloader? If anyone knows how to do this for the Xperia TL (lt30at) please let me know! Step by step would be great since im new to this. Thanks!!

Unless you have a unlocked bootloader, you cant. Flash an Xperia T firmware to remove all that att bloatware
and If we ever had are bootloader unlocked, we can just flash CM10.1 and it will work.
Man everyone is so nice on here. But in response to that until AT&T allows it nothing that anyone can do about the bootloader. At least it's rooted and you can remove all the crap that was preloaded with the phone. With a few other extra perks of having a rooted phone, the stock OS isn't really all that bad.....

If I had a "Not For Sale" AT&T branded Sony Xperia TL and its bootloader is unlocked. Will this help anybody? I wonder how I could flash CM10.1 on it then.I have CWM 6.0.3.0 installed on it but technically that CWM is for 'locked bootloaders' even though my bootloader isn't locked.
If the boot loader is unlocked just flash the cm10 . Zip in recovery

Usually a carrier locked xperia has a permanent locked bootloader. Don't be surprised if you can't unlock it.
Just a heads up before you do too much research.

It is an issue if you want those highly customisable roms such as cm,pac etc. I rather lose be2 than not having the chance to flash those. But now there's a way to save your ta before unlocking bootloader so it's all good for those who want to unlock bootloader and still keep be2 for future use.

I doubt the Sony bootloader will be cracked any time soon as the Xperia T was never cracked and thats a much older device.
Unfortunately that means no custom kernels/CyanogenMod.
If you buy a factory unlocked device the bootloader will be unlockable/carrier branded devices may be locked and not unlock able.. Pretty simple really.
Sorry that I can't help much.

Nope. SIM-UNLOCK is separate to bootloader unlock.
It just doesn't.
On some old xperia phones you could open sim and bootloader like xperia arc if you used test point method to unlock sim it unlocked boot loader as well.
2013 xperia models that don't have removable battery are no longer able to use test point so you can't unlock boot loader or sim.
To unlock sim you need code which you cab buy from internet.
To unlock bootloader you need to contact your airtime provider and see if they will help in unlocking bootloader again this needs code but not freely available.
