TWRP?

Does anyone currently plan to port TWRP to the Xperia T?
I'm no developer but I'd love to see a port of TWRP on my device.
I might try to do it myself following TeamWin's guides but I'd be a bit worried about bricking devices, especially my own!

if u brick theres always sony's restore program!

Sounds good, which one?

Just flash a stock .ftf firmware file with flashtool
Or use Sony update service, or pc companion

Once on a custom rom seus says "modified firmware - update not possible" (or something like that )

Thats becuae we have to unlock the bootloader to install custom roms at the moment.
But, you can always flash .ftfs in flashtool.

Hi, about xperia tx ota

I got unlocked my bootloader and used custom kernels until i got the .67 update from hongkong, unfortunately my phone keeps detecting new update for 9.1.b.1.67 not only in pc companion but also in my notification bar.
My question now is, shall i accept the update? Thank you

Simple, no
Don't accept any OTA firmware if you unlocked bootloader
You can update firmware via flashtool by downloading stock FTF firmware

Very good advice. Don't do OTA
If there is no ftf posted you can make one
Use PCCompanion and use the "repair" option. It will download the necessary files to flash your phone but will fail to flash because if your unlocked bootloader.
Then use flashtool to make the ftf from the downloaded files which ou can then flash in flashtool
the instructions on how to do this are in the all in one thread

Without rooting or flashing is impossible. You have to access to system to delete it.

When I delete it somehow, Will I screw something? Face bootloop or similar?

After deleting the screen you will get a blanc black screen after sony logo or you can replace it with something else but actually I don't know if it's that easy to do.
If you are on 4.2 you can flash a unbranded FTF Android 4.3 update without unlocking bootloader or rooting and probably you will lose the screen after sony logo.

If I wait for official 4.3 Will t-Mobile logo disappear? He wont right? So in second opinion I Just need to connect usb and flash ftf? No root, unlocking bl needed!? Is ftf a ROM or Just some kind of update? / Will I lose waranty?

No, official 4.3 (290) for you will still have the T-Mobile boot animation. You will need to flash a generic 290 FTF. Because you are flashing a stock FTF, it is not necessary to unlock BL or root.
I don't think you should lose warranty, but if you take it back into T-Mobile they'll probably wonder why all the T-Mobile stuff is missing.

You will lose Warranty if you Unlock Bootloader Only. You will not lose your Warranty if you will root your phone or deleting T-Mobile bloatware.
Yes, Official FTF in your case will have the T-Mo logo and all the t-mo bloatware.
The solution if to flash a Unbranded Generic TFT .290, it's a full rom 4.3, and flash it via Flashtool v0.9.13. To do that you don't need root or unlocked bootlader.
Doing this you will not have T-Mo logo and bloatware but you will lose all the data on your phone because is raccomended a fresh installation with wipe Data, Cache and Appslog.
You can still not losing your data if you uncheck Wipe Data but is not recommended.
I brought the phone in Poland and I flashed a generic NCB FTF .290 and is working flawlessly in all europe.
All what you need is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2469191
Good luck.

There are apps to change the boot animation but requires root, go to pay store and search "change bout animation" and select the app you want.
Don't forget that it requires root.

Yes, like the instructions. I give you few tips: backup all what you need to SD, switch off your phone and keep pressing volume down and connect to pc via usb, keep pushing the volume down all the time when do this, let windows install the drivers and when your phone will be connected in Flashmode open the Flashtool, select the firmware (put the firmware in the flashtool folder) leave the flashtool in default and flash the FTF, remember to keep pushing volume down all the time, when the green bar of the progress will start you can leave your phone alone.
All the FTF XXX.X.A.0.290 in the list are Android 4.3, download Central Europe if you are there and flash. You can use also NCB.

No, that mean there is some very small differences in customization and R2B actually is the newest one. Nothing what will influence the functionality of your phone just update with the Unbranded one.

Not yet and no guarantee it will be. BTW, this Kitkat at the moment is not a big deal. Have a lot of issues. Stay with 4.3 for now. It's just an advice.

[Q] Device bricked - Not booting after attempt at downgrading

After upgrading to 4.4 beanstalk tried to downgrade by installing FTF of 4.3 ROM. Ever since all I can do is get into FlashMode and FastBoot (using Flashtool), and am able to install FTFs and fastboot boot.img, but the device never turns on (and doesn't vibrate when I press the power button). Tried unlocking, re-locking, running Sony's Update (but it says the software is incompatible so it won't upgrade), different FTFs and BOOT.IMGs.
All I want is to get back to a locked, official ROM.
Help!

Yeah - battery is charged (to the best of my knowledge) - connected all day to the USB.

Have you tried Sony's flashtools?
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app

Try to flash the latest firmware using flashtool

which flashtool are you using?

Flashtools state that the version of the software can't be upgraded (it was a custom KitKat rom). Also tried the most up-to-date flashtool that I could find (0.9.13.0).
Is the downgrade from 4.4 even possible? Is there an order in which I should be installing using FlashTool?

If you are trying the OTA, it is likely to fail. I had the same issues.
Plug the phone into the PC and update via PCC. It will work.

I tried via PC Companion but it shows an error like " you installed custom software to phone,it can't be updated "..

that means you have an unlocked bootloader..restore ta keys if you have a backup or just relock it and try again
or flash a ftf via flashtool and keep unlocked bootloader

If its OTA that fails it probably because of rooted phone. If PCC fails to update its because of unlocked bootloader, check for it in service menu.

tell me one thing, while flashing bootloader should be locked or unlocked?

Just relock the bootloader and you can update the phone with Sony Update Service.
However my problem after unlocking the BL again the phone still offers the update to be installed even it is already there. Any idea how to fix this?
