Hi guys, I in Vietnam and I have a Xperia TL Lt30at, I bought it from a store in my country, now I want to upgrade firmware 4.3 for my phone. But I don't know what firmware for it, as I search, that just has firmware 4.3 for Xperia T/TX. I just wondering my phone can read my sim, can use gsm and 3G in my country, so is that unlocked? If it was unlocked, can I use it as every Xperia T (Lt30p) other and up every firmware as Lt30p?
Sorry for my bad english
Hello. I am also using Xperia TL. I can answer your questions :
1) TL can use any rom of Xperia T, not TX made for looked bootloader.
2) You can test your phone with Vietnamese mobile network. If it doesn't run, you should ask your seller to unlock network for you.

I sure that, because i have tried it. I'm using Ultimate PureXT v2.1 of DaRk-L0rD and it run properly, except general bug of xperia T
Had you used search before posting, you would have found my guide on upgrading LT30at to 4.3. LT30p and LT30a/t are the same devices. The only difference is that that a devices have LTE radios in them. Since you use only 3G network, you don't need to worry about basebands.

PureXT is based on stock. Sony no longer upgrades software for its at&t devices, so you have to use stock-based custom ROMs if you want to be up to date.

So if I just use 3G network, I can flash firmware via flashtool normally? But can you help me to know which firmware can flash from the list in above ?

Sorry if I dont understand what you said
So there's no way to upgrade to 4.3 except flash rom cook? I thought it could be debranded ?

Let me get this right:
- you own LT30at: Xperia TL with USA at&t branding, not Rogers from Canada, which is LT30a
- you live in Viet Nam and you don't have 4G/LTE network where you live
- you want to upgrade the firmware to 4.3 and keep all native Sony features
All you have to do is follow my guide. There is no 4.3 coming for LT30at via Sony Update Service.
"ROM cook" stuff doesn't mess up your device because it's basically the stock ROM with some APKs added/changed. I don't know why you worry about losing at&t branding - it's absolutely useless to you since you aren't in the USA.
Moreover, flashing using the flashtool, you will lose all of your apps, settings, and root access. If you are fine with that, then do go ahead and pick any TFT firmware for T or TL from the list and then flash it.

Thank you so much for your help

I'm worried a little that you misunderstood something we had said. Please verify everything with Vietnamese resources.

If I don't need to keep apps, settings and LTE, can I follow the instruction in DaRk-L0rD's post?
@kulomo: You can either follow DaRk-L0rD's instructions or just flash an FTF using Flashtool.

Why are you even trying to unlock the boatload? You need to root the phone not unlock the bootloader. Just follow the instructions.
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=2658952
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.

Hello,
I want to delete the branding of my i9506 with latest android 4.3 firmware running on it.
It has the newer bootloader which is locked i guess and I don´t know now, how to make it unbranded.
It is running the latest android 4.3 firmware with t-mobile branding. i`ve read something, about flashing the 4.3 firmware of the nordic countries, which is without brand as i know.
anyone can help me pls?
And: I am sorry for breaking the forum rules, but i think that most people who can answer my question are in this part of forum, and im not sure where to ask otherwise.
Thanks
WORKED!
Problem solved,
flashing the nordic countries firmware has worked, without tripping knox flag or something
:good:
HI,
For some reason LTE i not working in my country (israel)
my carrier told me that i must have 4.3 rom which is not available by regular update.
Is there any way to solve this?
i read something about updating the baseband.
Thanks
update the software using flashtool, you don't need to wait for your carrier to update the firmware

Search in the general section, there are plenty of stock firmwares.
Hi, I have a question. A had a rooted Z1. I had to give it to service and now it is unrooted. Obviously. I am on 14.4.A.0.157 now. My question is whether I should wait for official Lollipop update? Will I be able to root then? Or should I root now? I won't receive the official update then most probably. I just would like to add I just want root, not custom ROM now. Thanks for advice.
update using flashable zip and stripped ftf like how it used to be done
Thanks. Will this still work after official Lollipop update?
I haven't go to try it yet, but waiting on feedback, I posted the zip and ftf stripped
