Downgrade to 4.2.2 root it and try to update ota to 4.3. This way you should keep root.
If ota doesn't work and your bootloader is locked, you'll have to stay at 4.2.2, as long as you need root

Root 4.2.2 then install a recovery then flash a 4.3 rom, that way u will have root on 4.3.

Is there any other way i can get root on stock 4.3?
Thanks
There are at least 3 prerooted stock 10.4.1.B.0.101 roms in the development section.
Either unlock your bootloader like I told you before, or flash a prerooted rom. Those are your choices.

Hi guys , need some information, I was just wondering is it possible that I could downgrade back to ics after putting jellybean on my phone?
Your help is appreciated.
All the best
Chris.
Sent from my LT30p using xda premium
Yes it is.
How did you upgrade?
If you upgraded via FlashTool you can just as easily downgrade using the same method, just by using an ICS .TFT instead of the JB one.
Any reason why you want to downgrade?
Make sure you do a complete wipe to make the ROM to be good and dandy, and the battery will get better after a few days.
Sure you can, you just need to flash ics ROM with flashtool (you dont need to have unlocked bootloader)
But I dont see the reason to downgrade
Sent from my LT30p using xda app-developers app
Thanks for the replies, I want to go back to ICS due to the major battery drain that I am getting, I have read a few threads now on here and also esato and jellybean battery seems to be very hit and miss.
I live how fast the phone has become but can't live with a poor battery. Got any ideas before I go back to ICS?

ok well , i have just read that formatting to extenal and internal memory helps , so i have just done that .
as you say its a big upgrade firmware wise so going to give it a couple of days and then look at what the diffrence is again .
Ok so reporting back on my T's jellybean upgrade, seems that it's starting to level out a lot now, as I said in my last post did the memory thing and formatted both And the phone has responded very very well.
Seems to get a whole days usage now and maybe a bit more. I always charge anyways over night so nothing to worry about. How's yours?

i had the same dilema as you to downgrade to 4.0.4...
I noticed today that the phone drains 4 to 8 % battery in standby mode over the night.. i havent noticed something like this in 4.0.4 .
I think the battery management was better.
Anyway i will follow your suggestion to wait a few days to level the situation .
I updated with mac bridge . What is the best method if i decide to downgrade ?
I need a clean install method .Format everything and clean install the rom i decide to install.
Also does the repair option in pc companion or bridge does a clean install;
Thank you

thank you so much for your quick reply!
so if i got it right the repair option performs a clean install to the existing rom ..In my case it will reinstall JB 4.1.2
If i choose the flash tool i will choose the rom i want .. So do i get it right?
And if so where can i download the original 4.0.4 rom ? thank you again for your help!

No, it will install the latest version for you phone/region. It may be ICS or it may be JB, depending if it has been released for you.

Look in the All in one thread. Its the first thread in the Q&A section and has all available ftf files in post 3.
Yep use the original generic UK tft there on the forum mate there is a whole list of them, use flashtool and you'll have no problems.
In addition to that I downgraded my via flashtool and used pc companion to upgrade to jellybean if that helps also at the same time formatted the memory external and internal and once the upgrade was done wiped all data and set up, I've gone a full 20 Hours now and have 40% left which seems like it's done the trick.
Good luck mate.

So i will download the generic uk 4.0.4 rom and flash it with flash tool ..and thats it ? no other actions required ?
i chose this one [STOCK FIRMWARE] [ROM]LT30p Stock UK GENERIC 4.04 7.0.A.1.303 by batman_112
I also going to use flashtool 0.9.10.1 for mac.
Is it better if i use the official sony flash tool EMA ?
In my opinion the Jelly bean update is more of a downgrade then any thing it's very buggy and has a dated looking ui and the new features have been used before on other manufacturers phones like Motorola the lock screen is gay as **** and the camera is now a 12 megapixel instead of a 13 and the keyboard seems to be the same with no new JB features.
Sent from my LT30p using xda premium
Yeah mate that's exactly it, using that firmware and flashtool you should have no problems at all.
I'm going to carry on playing with jellybean for a couple more days and then reevaluate which firmware I would prefer to be on.
Hope that all goes well for you anyways.

If pccompanion restores 4.1.2 that is now the factory Rom. It's the latest official Rom for your phone provided by Sony.
If you really want the Rom you had before the official upgrade you have now, then use any file explorer and open the build.prop file that is found in the system folder.
Find the line that starts ro.version.customisation. And then had 8 numbers after it, tell me what those numbers are and I can point you in the right direction
Anyway, you can't use Emma to flash that, you must use flash tool

You must downgrade to ICS version 303 in order to use that method. Then upgrade following the method to keep root

Because Sony closed that loophole.
Downgrade to 303 using flashtool
Root using bin4rys method
Install CMW
Flash a pre rooted JB rom (Mine for example)
Before rebooting flash a JB kernel.
Sorry I forgot to tell you my bootloader is locked is this safe..?

Yes. You will have to flash a stock JB kernel then.
Do it in flashtool by flashing a stock JB ftf and exclude everything except kernel.
And please can you give full tutorial..

U can basically flash say rom so long it says it for Locked bootloader. (LB) when it says lb in the rom u should be fine. U also can flash any stock 4.2.2 rom ftf. Just go to the section with the roms and see what one u wanna use.

First off all I will read about how to use flash tools and get drivers installed because I am sure you are going to need it and download a ftf to bring your phone back to life from bootloop.
Install CWM and then download a rom, the one I use is a good one which he is always realising updates (link in sig) which is 4.2.2 based

thank you for your help in advance
Edit: ive modded my phone already tripped knox so that's not a problem. im running cm 10.1.3 stable at the mo
i assume you talk about CM11 - 4.4 - official 4.4 is not out yet...
ofc you can go back...i did it twice already...also got knox to 1(don't care)....

I was on 4.1.2 ripper rom first. Then 4.3 alliance rom and after it I tried many 4.4.2 aosp Roms. Now I wanted to go back to 4.3 and I flashed alliance rom without data wipe and it works like a charm. Maybe it's better to wipe, but for me it worked without it. Important is that you don't have Knox on your Sammy.
