Root Xperia T on JB 4.3 with locked booloader

Hello friends, i have a Xperia TL with a locked bootloader, i want to flash stock firmware Android 4.3 to my device via flashtool.
But how can i root my decive before i flash this rom. I have a locked bootloader and it says "allowed= NO".
I need to root because i want to restore my apps and data.

Why don't read "Xperia T, TL, TX, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting" first thread?

You dont have to root your device to flash another firmware!

If you flash it with flashtool it's easy... Just disselect data wipe and then you don't need to restore your data or apps.

Same problem with me.
You can root ur TL by : this tool( Password : xdamobile )
So simple, download and install, wait a second then click root.
If success, confirm here. Good luck.
NOTE: this tool only can root xperia T 4.1.2

Thank you it worked now i have my tl rooted.. After i flash the firmware will the root still on?

No, if you flash FW via flashtool, the root is lost.
I think you should :
1. Back up ur app by titanium backup.
2. Download 4.1.2 stock FW LT30at from HERE
3. Download newest 4.3 Unbrand and flash it via flash tool (u must choose exclude baseband)
4. Root it by my tool
5. Restore app
If root fail at 4.3, u can flash 4.1.2 stock then root and restore app. Good luck

Thank you again.. If root doesn't work.. Is there another method to root? I wanna stay on 4.3.

Nice try.
It installs a bunch of Chinese bloatware, language can't be changed and root CAN'T be obtained.
As much as I could understand it's a tool for MTK hardware and uses restore for root, and it doesn't work.

:silly:
dear a_new_day, i was wondering if you would have a 'tool' for Xperia V (LT25i). I was searching the forums for a version that would work on my newly installed FM 9.2.A.1.199, JB 4.3. Your thread came up and I was hopeful but I read through it and it's for Xperia T :crying:
as of present I haven't yet found a working one for the new FM. I hope that DoomLord will soon come to the rescue...
thanks for whatever help/thread/link you can give. it's my only way to tweak the phone so as to increase the LIMIT number on SMS sent.

Downgrade to FW ending in .534
install dualrecovery
Flash chainfires superSU http://download.chainfire.eu/204
Update to @[NUT] 's .681 pre-rooted rom
Done.

Greg.
Thanks for the reply
Will the downgrade keep drm keys?
Do you have a guide to install dual recovery?
Do I need to unlock bootloader prior to flashing pre-rooted rom or can this be unlocked once rooted so I can backup drm keys via TA backup?
Thanks
Glen

To get Root you don't have to Unlock Bootlader at all. If you will then when you get root, Backup TA first and then Unlock Bootlader (not recommended)

Temporary root for 14.3.A.0.757?

Is there any method to root the firmware 757 but temporary, on locked bootloader? Anyone knows?
Sent from my C6903 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

All root is temporary because you can just unroot by removing the files..
Also SuperSU app has an unroot function

No I do understand, but why would you want that?
Anyway, just replace the stock ric file.

There is no way, and there is no need to temp root xperia z1.. Temp root is only for device like HTC wich have locked bootloader and some added security such as S-OFF. In xperia u have only locked or unlocked bootloader and perma root.

You cannot pre root FTF files. Everything in a FTF file has to be completely stock from Sony
You need to follow the instructions in my signature if you want 757 and root and not unlock the bootloader

[Q] Xperia Z1 help with unroot, relock bootloader and restore to factory settings

Hey,
I've got a Sony Xperia z1 which I will be selling now and I need to get it to factory settings. Im currently running CM11 and am rooted, unlocked bootloader and have a custom recovery. Are there any guides that will get me back to stock firmware and is it possible to get it back so that no one knows it was ever rooted ?? When I unlocked the bootloader I backed up my TA partition.
Thnx

you can flash the latest official firmware via flashtool(root,recovery gone) than you relock your bootloader and use the TA partition.
good luck

Sorry to bother again but Im a bit of a noob :/ In which order do I proceed then ?? Does flashing the FTF via flashtoolget rid of the custom recovery and root the device ? Then I have to relock the bootloader via flashtool too and then restore the TA partition ???

Flash the FTF, root using newroot, restore your TA, flash the FTF again.

Ohhh and this will regain my warranty correct ??

Well, warranty fraud is not condoned on XDA. I have told you how to relock your bootloader and return your phone to a stock state.
If unlocking your bootloader voided your warranty then its voided no matter what you do after that,

Erhmmm sorry I might be a bit lost ( English isnt my first language...) but I think I get what u are saying... So pls one last question - Is a locked bootloader and stock state any different then when I first got the phone ?

You got your phone with a locked bootloader and stock means it is the firmware that comes from Sony, so yes...
