Well, I've been trying to root my Xperia TL (LT30at) to delete some bloatware and to install a recovery, for later change the ROM.
The problem here is that while I try to root with the bin4ry file, it always says to me there is no Backup & Restore app (which is true) and just waits for me to open the fake backup, which never shows up.
The most similar thing here the AT&T My Locker, which I cannot use because I'm from outside the US and in my country there is no such thing as AT&T.
By the other way I try to use the NUT's Dual Recovery (XT-lockeddualrecovery2.7.123-BETA.installer). It always tells me it was successful, but when I try to go to the recovery, It only turns on normally (obviously I always stay pressing the Volume Up button even after he shows me the AT&T logo).
So then, what should I do?
If anyone can help me I will be eternally grateful.

Do I need have installed Superuser or do I need to root it before doing this method?
There is another way to root my phone?
PD: My version is 4.1.2 and compilation number is 9.1.F.120
2PD: I'm from Venezuela, if my english is wrong forgive me
You need to be rooted before installing CWM. Did you try Doomlord's Easy Rooting Toolkit?

Mad Marty is right, you have to be rooted before installing CWM.
You can find Doomlord's Easy Rooting Toolkit here: http://d-h.st/1Gp
Keep in mind that it works only with Jelly Bean 4.1.2 firmwares (so I guess you're OK) and remember to turn on USB debugging in developer option before rooting.

That thread you linked to implies that the phone is already rooted; OP is trying to root.
@Darkanimus: You might want to check out this method, which seems to work for the LT30at.
I have a little more advance:
Now I have the backup & restore app and the Bin4ry's shell detects it (using the v18 and the v33). But when I'm going to "restore" the rootme file, when the confirmation screen appears, the app crashes and I still can navigate through the phone. When I go to the home screen, it shows an advice saying that Backu & Restore just crashed. What should I do?

yes and it didn't work so is there any other root loaders that work on mac as i don't like using my little sisters laptop
hahaha
You never said it was mac
Try a Linux machine, or windows 7
i was on a windows laptop and its not very good and i was asking if there was any mac versions of the root loaders
again,
try linux
i haven't got a linux machine only a windows 8 laptop and an iMac so is there any .sh that will work on mac
Can confirm that option 2 no longer works from the .145 firmware. I need to go back to stock and restore my backup TA to send the phone back for warranty repair. I start the display service test as instructed and nothing happens. I'm on windows 7.

The solution I found was just to flash a .303 ftf and root it from that. Rooting becomes very easy.
Now 4.3 is rolling out.. I have a rooted my phone and using many root required apps. If I update to 4.3 now.. Will my root function still work or should I wait for some developer to find a way to root the New firmware..??

Better wait. If you flash FTF, root will be gone and previous root method might not work on 4.3.

i believe the OP in that thread already answered ur question
houlaed case
I just update my 5503 following this method and everything is fine.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2590174
My phone was already rooted on 4.2 (to use FolderMount...)
I followed the instruction except I download another Ftf for 5503 and created a new stripped ftf.
Just be careful after the update... if you use Titaniumbackup (or another backup soft) don't restore Supersu or the root will be gone.
If you do, just go back to recovery and flash again the supersufix.zip

You can also first root up to 4.2.2 including .67 by proved and updated Bin4ry tool. I did it for ZR C5503 originally updated via OTA to .67. The v33 uses the same new exploit, just choose method 0.

@eljibZR, I've 2 basic questions:
1. How to update rooted .67 to 4.3 so the root will be preserved AND also remains further upgradable OTA - Will OTA really work on ZR and what preparations needed? Did you make stripped Nordic version C5503_10.4.B.0.569_1274-1395_R2C_Nordic or what are the steps to make it?
2. Someone mentioned FolderMount v2.5 doesn't work on emulated SD like ZR for 4.3, can you confirm? If that's true how to move apps/data to SD?

Sorry for late answer I ve been busy these days...
So:
1. In order to do this I ve followed this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2590174
I was already rooted on .67 and now I m rooted thanks to Sijav "pre rooted" .569 as it was first made for 5502, now in PC companion my phone is seen as 5503 (instead of 5503...)
So it s still upgradable but for the next update I ll try to switch back to a 5503 firmware because now I cannot use LTE (I don't really care as there is no 4G in my country..)
That s why I m not 100% happy with this solution.
If I have enough free time I m gonna try this method as it s meant for 5503: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2592054
You should try this one too as there is root, recovery...
To make a stripped ftf you need
- a ftf like the Nordic version C5503_10.4.B.0.569_1274-1395_R2C_Nordic
- flashtool
Method:
- open flashtool and click on the lightning icon then choose "flashmode"
- on the top of the new window, select the folder where you put the Nordic ftf
- in 'exclude' select 'system'
- flash it!
2. No! Flashtool is working very well on ZR. It was working on 4.2 and it s still working on 4.3 but you need root.
It s app2sd.... which isn 't working.
It s pretty simple to use.
The concept is to create a kind of fake folder link so that for the system the file stays on the internal memory although the data are in fact on the removable SD...
How to use:
- download and open
- open and press "+" on the top
- select the folder you want to move to the sd
- follow instruction...
It s pretty easy but the free version allows you only 3 paired folder so you may want to go for the premium.
Also, you need to know where are the data.
For big games, there is usually 2 folder:
- one in Internal Memory/Android/Data: that s the first one you download first in the playstore: I usually don't paired it because it s usually a few Mb (20...30...)
- the second is in Internal Memory/Android/Obb: that s the big one, the one you need to download on the first start of the game. That"s the one you may want to paired on SD as it is often huge. 800Mb for Asphalt 8 for example
One last thing, if you reboot your phone, wait a little before opening your foldermounted app as the software need to get root authorization and then mount again the folders...

You probably meant FolderMount is working on 4.3.
But, if I'm okay with stock 4.3 ROM and still on rooted stock .67 with SuperSU Pro 1.89 (LB, no recovery), can I just upgrade to 4.3 by OTA and remain rooted as per SuperSU Pro feature, anyone succeeded?

Yes sorry FolderMount is working on 4.3.
You can also wait for an OTA update but I cannot guaranty the root will remain...probably
Wait for someone to try... and by the way I m not sure an OTA update is available as in my country 4.3 isn't yet available event through PC companion...

Yes, .569 is available OTA for at least for HK C5503_1274-0031 version.
OTA avl here in INDIA.. Has anyone who has rooted tried it??

I tried the ota update from a rooter 4.2 to 4.3 but it didn't work! The system said that the installation process wasn't successful. Don't know why! (I just have the normal supersu app not the pro one)
So i had to take the long way via bootloader unlock, but now everything's fine again!

Did you checked Survival Mode checkbox when tried OTA (if you enabled Pro features - the last checkbox in settings)?

OTA update will most probably unroot the phone.
you can use SU pro to retain the root after OTA update.
did an OTA upgrading from 4.1 to 4.2, root access is retained but i plan to make another OTA update to 4.3 but will get the SU Pro prior to the upgrade just to be more sure.

I have had bad experiences with updating over the air, I find it much better to flash a Rom with flashtool and re-root if you flash stock...
Good luck!!

The upgrade seems to have a lot of issues
1. My calculator has been changed from the initial scientific calculator to a regular calculator with no special functions
2. The developer option in setting is missing
3. The screenshot option in power is also missing
4. The display is hazzy (seems to be vibrating at to areas of the screen)
5. NFC seems not to be working and no NFC or BEAM in sending option list
6. Camera delays when coming on more than before
I have also done an OTA upgrade to 4.3 but still the same maybe camera is slightly faster but not as on 4.1

The calculator is normal, a more featured one can be downloaded from elsewhere
Go to setting/about phone and tap on build number about 10 times. This will enable developer options..
Why not install a custom rom and see if that fixes any of your problems,,,I am using this one with no bother at all..its awesome...

Take screenshot is present in power menu..
There are no `hazy` areas on the screen..
NFC works, with my bluetooth headset anyways, but be aware that there is no icon in notifications..its a KitKat thing..
I dont use the stock camera, prefer to use lenovo camera, so unable to comment..
Best advise I can offer is to give the rom a try, try some others roms, there a loads of great ones, and see which one suits your needs..
Back up your data etc.. before you flash, I`m sure you know this anyways...
Good Luck!!
please can you give a procedure for the backup i am not excellent at these, i can't seem to find the link to the custom ROM
