Did you read the OP of that thread?
Why not ask in that thread?
Why dig a 6 month old thread up to ask this question?
Short answer is NO

OK, I understand you cannot ask in that thread, fair enough.
But a bit of reading will tel you that you can not flash that rom on stock kernel.
Please read this you will make much further steps forward if you try for yourself instead of asking..
its the old story of giving a man a fish or a teaching how to fish.

I remember when I was a noob at Android Rooting and Flashing, but now all of that changed. Now I flash tons of weird files onto my phone and flashed more than I can remember. I even hard bricked my TL before. ( i got a new one from warranty ). My question is... Why bump this old thread

Infos about modding Xperia T

Hi to all.
I bought the Xperia T (lt30p) and i would say what is the best rom and the best kernel. Thank you!

Please use search, also there is no answer to this question so there is no point posting it. Especially add your have not said what you want from the Rom....

Is your phone's bootloader unlocked? You can only flash custom kernels if your bootloader is unlocked. Not all of our phones are able to have the bootloader unlocked. There are threads in the forum to show you how to check if your phone is allowed to have it unlocked. If it says "No", then right now there is no chance of having your bootloader unlocked. If it says "Yes", then you can unlock it through Sony's dev website.
There are some great ROMs for the XPeria T that use the stock kernel. Right now, I am using XPerimenT ROM v2.9 on my LT30a. It's a little old, but I really like it. It is based the official 141 firmware.

[Q] Camera with bootloader?

Sony has said that installing bootloader in the Xperia Z1 will disable the camera, but I've read that if you recover the TA, the camera works again. Is this true? If so, could I install different kernel ROMs (like CM) with a working camera?
I'm sorry if the question sounds dumb, I'm new to Android.

Firstly, you don't "install" the bootloader, every phone has one, you just unlock it to get access to it.
Secondly, you can restore the TA but that RELOCKS the bootloader so you cant use custom kernels.
Trust me, when this issue is sorted it will be big news so you will get to know it.
Currently this is the situation
locked bootloader = stock kernels = working camera
Unlocked bootloader = stock or custom kernels = NO CAMERA
No question is dumb if you don't know the answer, but please get used to searching before asking, that way you definitely wont ask any dumb questions

Thanks!
But the only ROM with the stock kernel is HONAM1Z, and I have no idea what features it has....
The other stock kernel ROMs are just updated firmware with root, but there are 2 that are basically the same. Which one should I use?
Do you need bootloader for mods? (like PureXAudio)

You choose any one you want. No one on here will tell you want you want, its up to you to try, test and decide for yourself.
As for other mods, no you don't need bootloader unlocked. That is only for custom kernels.
If you read the OP of each mod it will tell you the requirements and if it does not say "Requires an unlocked bootloader" then its fine to use on a stock kernel.
You will just have to root, install recovery and flash them.

Do ROMs need to be of the exact model number?
For example, you have a ROM for the C6903, but I have the C6906. Can I use the ROM?
Or if mine is build number 14.1.G.1.518, and yours is 14.1.G.2.257, can I still use the ROM?
And does the phone get unrooted when updated OTA? And how do you know which build number is newer?

I would first suggest you read the tutorials in the general section and the dev section.
Most, if not all, your questions will be answered there and I will only be cutting and pasting information from there.
As something to think about, when I first joined xda I spent a LOT of time reading guides and tutorials before doing anything to my phone.
I am not saying I wont answer your questions, but the answers are out there for you already and taking things steady will give you the best chance of learning and not doing something daft to your phone and bricking it.

No need to read ALL the threads, but the opening pages contain important information. If after reading those you still have questions you can ask them in those threads and then people can help you there.
Best of luck, and I am available via PM if you need me

Thanks for the threads! They were pretty useful
Although I still have questions about ROMs. If your room is for C6903, and I have 6906, can I still use it? I would guess that you can, as the only thing that change is the baseband.
Also, what ROM do you recommend? Yours (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2504638), this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2440408) or generic 534 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2505796)?
Do you know what Honam1Z? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2463675). I cant seem to find the advantages of the ROM....
Thanks again for answering my questions, mate.
And I'm sorry if you have received this same message by PM. My sent box appeared empty after I sent it, so I didnt think it reached you.

Educate me on ROMs

I have a C6606 rooted on 4.2.2 stock. From my research I cannot unlock my bootloader which is fine, I prefer to keep Bravia and such for the time being.
I have experience flashing firmware with TWRP on my Asus TF101 and have installed TWRP through the app on my Z. I have not tried accessing it yet.
As I understand with a locked bootloader I can only use stock based ROMs. Is this correct? What ROMs are stock based?

Well, you are in the right section, Q&A. You have the Q's and the A's are in the stickies. Go use search and learn, young grasshopper. Or learn to use search first.

[Q] List of custom roms with stock sony kernels????

Hello everyone.... I would like to have the list of custom roms which run on the stock sony kernel or basically clean vanilla custom roms which I can flash with a locked bootloader but having root. Do help out in this front. Thanks in Advance

I would think that most roms in the Development subforum would be what you're looking for. Just look for any rom posted that has "LB" (meaning, ok for Locked Bootloader) in the thread title.
