As soon as you flash ftf you will loose root. Re-root using same app once you flash the ftf.

This is my understanding too. Bear in mind that as soon as official updates are released a developer here will make it available on xda. This means you often get updates before you would normally (because they are rolled out at different times depending on carrier and region).

Once you install CWM, you can deodex your stock firmware without any problem :good:
No need to flash another ROM to do that.

stuck on sony logo, u have to use the flashtool for flashing to revert back anything you do for your device..
search the ftf ( with root and deodexed apps ) on the forum, flash with flashtool.
You can bring your device back if you do a right procedure to flash it..

Hello friends, i have a Xperia TL with a locked bootloader, i want to flash stock firmware Android 4.3 to my device via flashtool.
But how can i root my decive before i flash this rom. I have a locked bootloader and it says "allowed= NO".
I need to root because i want to restore my apps and data.
Why don't read "Xperia T, TL, TX, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting" first thread?

If you flash it with flashtool it's easy... Just disselect data wipe and then you don't need to restore your data or apps.

You can root ur TL by : this tool( Password : xdamobile )
So simple, download and install, wait a second then click root.
If success, confirm here. Good luck.
NOTE: this tool only can root xperia T 4.1.2

No, if you flash FW via flashtool, the root is lost.
I think you should :
1. Back up ur app by titanium backup.
2. Download 4.1.2 stock FW LT30at from HERE
3. Download newest 4.3 Unbrand and flash it via flash tool (u must choose exclude baseband)
4. Root it by my tool
5. Restore app
If root fail at 4.3, u can flash 4.1.2 stock then root and restore app. Good luck
Thank you again.. If root doesn't work.. Is there another method to root? I wanna stay on 4.3.

Nice try.
It installs a bunch of Chinese bloatware, language can't be changed and root CAN'T be obtained.
As much as I could understand it's a tool for MTK hardware and uses restore for root, and it doesn't work.

:silly:
dear a_new_day, i was wondering if you would have a 'tool' for Xperia V (LT25i). I was searching the forums for a version that would work on my newly installed FM 9.2.A.1.199, JB 4.3. Your thread came up and I was hopeful but I read through it and it's for Xperia T :crying:
as of present I haven't yet found a working one for the new FM. I hope that DoomLord will soon come to the rescue...
thanks for whatever help/thread/link you can give. it's my only way to tweak the phone so as to increase the LIMIT number on SMS sent.

Hey,
I've got a Sony Xperia z1 which I will be selling now and I need to get it to factory settings. Im currently running CM11 and am rooted, unlocked bootloader and have a custom recovery. Are there any guides that will get me back to stock firmware and is it possible to get it back so that no one knows it was ever rooted ?? When I unlocked the bootloader I backed up my TA partition.
Thnx

you can flash the latest official firmware via flashtool(root,recovery gone) than you relock your bootloader and use the TA partition.

Well, warranty fraud is not condoned on XDA. I have told you how to relock your bootloader and return your phone to a stock state.
If unlocking your bootloader voided your warranty then its voided no matter what you do after that,
