So you need a Locked Bootloader stock modified rom?
Better use UltimateXSP or eXistenZ
By the way it's not allowed to post questions "What is the best rom"

We do not allow best ROM/Kernel threads on XDA,. What's best for someone else may not be what is best for you. Best advice is to head over to the development section, try some out and see which best suits your needs.

[Q] Roms LT30at - LT30p

Hello friends, I come from sub-forum for Xperia P, I became a Xperia U and I watch a rom stock official, ie bringing my phone is AT & T, that at first instance and then to put or try other roms .
I have a doubt in my terminal says
LT30at
Android Version: 4.0.4
Compilation: 7.0.B.1.152
But I see that most roms here LT30p says that the difference between the LT30at and LT30p, and if I can add a LT30p, or should I place specifically one that says LT30at.
Thanks for your help, the truth is that just yesterday I was handed my new device and want to start tune it. root, cwm, flashar different roms, or cooked with cwm.
Thank you,

The AT seems very similar.... but! the AT has a 4g network compatibility and you might lose that if you were to flash a rom from the lt30p?

once you have cmw you can test to your hearts content
you may need to re flash the recovery after flashing new roms (research that)

[Q] Downgrade

Hi guys, i'm Darwin from Honduras, Central America. Im newest with my SP 5302
So i have dowloaded the newest firmware 12.1.A.1.201, and i didn't read that i can't root from 4.3 JB.
I read some thread and i can make a downgrade from my current FW. So the thing is i can't find a FW that's fits my phone (country or region), the question is ¿Can i use othe countrys FW in my phone (UK, India for example)? It will crash? I will be able to use my sim card and navigate without problems?
Thanks in advice, you guys are awesome.
PS. Pardon my bad english.
If you are interested in the latest .201 which is rooted, there are some devs developing nice ROMs based on .201 with root.
At the moment I am on purexperience which incorporates Z2 gui, etc and fast. It still has some bugs but I can live with it until something better comes along, if at all. :laugh: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2691767&page=4)
Otherwise, another dev has put a full .201 in the forum which is rooted (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2704312 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2704009)
Note: you will need to be rooted with CWM recovery in order to install these ROMs. The only way that I know is to downgrade the firmware to old 4.1.2 which enables you to use Doomlord's exploit (V18) after which you can install CWM.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2405933 (for this one you will have to flash .254 full firmware before starting the process)
PS: you don't have to get the ftf that fits your country. Just take CE, SG, AU, UK (if you are comfortable with English) and it will prompt you for your language during setup...After all the downgraded ftf is simply a step to root and will be wiped out when you install .201
you can use stock based ROM, I am curently used existenz 2.1.5, it now also have newer version with xperia sirius features on it.

The radio baseband determines the frequency the phone can receive flashing another region firmware won't affect it if yours is a c5303 I know Brazil is then you will be fine flashing other c5303 fw for example uk. I think its just USA that has a different baseband.

You might like to consider looking at this thread..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3042439
Also if you are new try to avoid unlocking the bootloader..
If you decide to unlock it first thing to do is to take backup of ta before unlocking..
So for time being i suggest playing with roms for locked bootloader as they are easy to unbrick and also no warranty is void..

Does Xperia™ Companion software find unbranded ROMs?

Hello. Sorry if this is a silly question; first time Xperia user here. Does the Xperia™ Companion software find unbranded ROMs that don't come OTA? I have a UK o2 Z3+ and want the latest official Sony stock debranded ROM. Could you tell me if the Xperia™ Companion software would download this for me or will it only bring up carrier-modified ROMs as if I were to check OTA?
Thanks!
Hi,
Any reason why you want to use the Xperia™ Companion software? From what you describe, it sounds as if you'd be better going with Flashtool/Xperifirm. You can freely choose from the available roms. Google for a guide for creating the FTF and flashing it.
Should work without B.L. unlocking as long as you're not trying to flash a modified kernel, but your phone will need to be carrier unlocked if you want to move from o2.
Cheers!

Hi,
Actually I love stock Rom only because they are very stable as compared to AOSP custom Rom.
But here in our country the STock Rom comes with lots of bloat. Is it possible to create a stock FTF by self with the help of Flashtool which doesnt have the bloats and useless apps so that my system run lagless. I dont want to unlock my Bootloader.
Any help will be higly appreciated.

there's nothing in FlashTool to allow you to work on the rom. You'd need to deodex the stock rom, work on it to remove what you don't want, then zipalign. there are guides to doing that, or you could watch the discussions here and see what happens. There was talk of someone creating a deodexed image.
Here's a thread regarding deodexing/zipaligning
BR.
deodex needs root
And z3+ BL needs to be unlocked to aquire ROOT. So I think its impossible.
