Hello guys. I'm a bit of a noob android user.
So, I have a Sony Xperia T LT30p, and i really wanted to have a custom ROM, since Sony stopped giving major updates to this phone.
I've managed to Root my phone, Unlock bootloader, and flash a recovery mode.
The problem comes when I try to install a custom ROM via CWM Recovery. I always get a "STATUS 7" or "STATUS 6" error. I've seen over 20 posts about this error, and i've tried so many things to fix, but i seems to be impossible. The biggest problem is that when the installation of the ROM fails, my device Soft Bricks, and i have to do everything all over again.
Please help me. Sorry for bad english.

Hello,
I'm facing some small problem with my Xperia.
I own this device for 4 days, so please consider me noob (only for this device).
So I've unlocked my bootloader, rooted the phone and installed CWM, but the problem is that it is losing root after every reboot (I have to flash SuperSu libraries each time to fix it).
I've seen a thread about this, how to re-root my phone, however I can't find it anymore.
Could You help me to root my phone permanently?

Flash a pre-rooted 4.3 rom is better

Yeah, I know that's the way but I kind of don't want to change my ROM now, as I would have to set up everything (I know I can leave data, but it may cause FC's).
I also tried existenZ ROM, but it was slower.
I've found some thread about this fix, but it didn't work

Did you find a solution ?

Hello i have upgraded my Z3C D5803 from 5.0.2 Slim Rom (twrp and rooted & bootlader unlocked) to 5.1.1 Stock Firmware 23.4.A.0.546 using XPERIFIRM to download and Flashtool to package and flash to the phone.
I have been looking for days but i am unable to find a way to root the stock firmware without having to reflash a custom firmware. I use the ScreenMirroring and Dualshock Support on a daily basis and this is usually taken out of custom roms as Bloatware.
Everything i have tried so far has not worked. Currently it is completely stock, no custom loader, no root (however I do not know if flashing stock rom via Flashtool will relock the bootloader?) Edit: Although from what i have read and understood it is not possible to relock the bootloader (that easily)
I have had many android phones/tablets and rooted/unlocked the majority of them, i just cannot work this one out =[
Thanks for any help
Did u already tried to downgrade , get root and reflashed an prerooted Firmware from here?

I am exactly in the same position. All I want is my COMPLETELY stock 5.1.1 to have root access, and possibly custom recovery. I don't want it pre-debloated (will remove the apps I want remove with Titanium) I don't want Xposed or anything added to it.I don't want to have to flash-downgrade ROM or worse, install a custom ROM, then reupgrade, and all the palaver.
Just like you I have rooted and CWM'd successfully many phones like Xperia X10, Xperia Mini, Galaxy S1, Galaxy S2 and Fairphone and I have always managed to do it in a fairly straightforward way. Just like you I cannot work this one out. I have spent the best part of my free time in the last week searching the web and this website, to no avail. No one and nowhere is offering a simple way to root & CWM the Z3C on stock 5.1.1. It seems even less likely on a D5833 and even less so on a locked bootloader!
Feeling like giving up on this phone.... :crying:

Next time, please do a little (re)seach on your own...

Problem is, atm u cannot root directly 5.1.1. U have to downgrade.
I have lost function of the camera button by going through all that flash-downgrading, custom recovery, reupgrading etc... I don't want to do that and screw up my phone any further, so I'll wait for a safer and more straightforward process to come up...
Hello guys! I have Xperia T 9.2.A.0.295.
I've tried a couple of methods of rooting my phone and all failed:
- rooting via flashtool, when "make it ra1n" appears, phone just restarts
- rooting via first method listed in this subforum, when running .bat file it gets stuck @ *daemon started successfully*
- rootin via towelroot, when I try to install it, it simply says "App not installed".
My idea was following, but I'm afraid to execute it without you guys having my back or I know it will be broken (back or phone or both hehe)
I wanted to try to push CWM via fastboot (already got drivers installed and all options defined correctly, unknown sources, debugging etc.)
I wanted to follow this tutorial with this CWM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1918966
1. So, if I install rooted ROM, is my phone going to be rooted or not? Or is installation going to fail? (some people were mentioning it's very likely phone is gonna end up bricked...)
2. If I install this CWM (since it's from 2012) am I going to have problems installing ROMs developed in 2015 (eg. 4.4.4 or 5.x?)
3. Is there a way I could back my current software up just in case something goes wrong so I could restore it in case of a fail?
Thanks guys!
If anyone has FB and maybe would like to add me just so I could contact him if things go south, feel free to send it to my PM, I'll add you
OK, I found older firmware on XperiFirm (9.2.A.1.199) from the vendor I bought the phone from. Later the phone was unlocked, I sure hope it doesn't lock again or something.....Since I moved to another vendor.
I'm downloading now, but I'm thinking about sleeping through the night 'till someone answers because I'm having a feeling I'm gonna wreck something...
Did you tried THIS ?
It works for me
Sorry for replying so late, didn't work for me, but I'm working on it with Olivier, he helped me
Hello.
My motoG 2nd gen XT1064 just passed the warranty date about 2 months ago. I'm on marshmallow 6.0, and bootloader is currently locked and running stock rom.
Yesterday I rebooted my phone for the first time in about 1 month. Upon startup, after the moto boot screen, a box popped up with "Android is starting.... Optimizing app xx of XXX...."
I let the apps optimization take its course, (about 15-20 minutes) immediately afterwards the screen turns black. Not off black, but backlight is on kind of black. Eventually after 5 minutes it reboots, and continues the same cycle over and over and over.
I let it do it overnight, uncharged, and eventually the battery died. I let it charge completely, started up the phone, deleted cache partition, but still the same problem.
I will attempt to wipe the phone from the recovery option, and hopefully that fixes it.
My question is
a) IS there any way to access the internal storage of phone via usb connected to my laptop while in bootloader screen and extract some important files and photos I did not get a chance to backup...
b) I plan on unlocking bootloader and rooting now that my warranty is done, but if I cannot get the phone running properly with the wipe/restore option, do I have to flash stock factory firmware before unlocking, rooting, and flashing something like CM?
Please be patient with me. I'm not computer illiterate, just very inexperienced with this stuff. Any tips or advice is greatly appreciated.
Cheers.
To whom it may concern:
I went ahead and unlocked my bootloader, which wiped my phone clean.
Phone is working great now. My question is, is it worth to root the phone and install a custom ROM? I'm a novice, and these XDA forums are information OVERLOAD. So many different methods, opinions, ROMS, etc etc.
I think most people install CM13. Is there a noob friendly, comprehensive guide to rooting and installing CM13 the clean and proper way?

I know the basic and normal process of install a rom (since I did on old phones), but this time, it seems I ned to upgrade the phone in order to get the recovery and then follow the rest of the process
Is there anyway of make a backup of the original stock rom i actually have? , I know was possible with the recovery, but I cant find the way to install the recovery in my version

Okay, first of all, go to your phone app and enter *#*#7378423#*#*. Then navigate to service info- configuration. If it says "Bootloader unlock allowed: yes" Your bootloader is still locked and you could try to update your phone via an over the air update if available or Sony Companion, or whatever it's called.
If it says "bootloader unlocked: yes" you could try to flash any firmware with flashtool by androxyde. As long as you uncheck the box with wipe data all your data will be kept.
A backup of your files is only possible if you have a custom recovery installed. For that you need root and it's risky if you're new to it.
I don't have any working Xperia T anymore, so I can't give you an advice since it's been such a long time that I flashed it.
If you follow my suggestions above you'll be able to update to Android 4.3 though. In the service menu at the point Software info you'll find your customization version. Write it here and I'll see what the newest version for your phone is.
Cheers

It says
Bootloader unlock allowed: NO
And its already rooted(came rooted when I bought it) I used to do it with some old phones (well, way older), so I know some of the risky stuff
The thing is, I was searching for a recovery to install, but , apparently it only can be done on android 4.3 (or at least is what Ive seen around, I still having the 4.1) , I tought would be the same process to drop the files on the system folders
And the customization number 1266-9267_R21
SO, shall I try to directly update to 4.3 in order to install any other stock roms?

Ok, so I searched for the xperia t, but it looks like there's nothing I can do, as it's not listed anywhere anymore. If you search for android 4.3 ftf xperia t you should find the update.
Rooting Android 4.1 was pretty simple, I can't remember though. Sorry mate.. It's been such a long time since I've used this device

I found the tft for 4.3, but I wanted to wait to see if I could make a back up before I really like how does it look with 4.1, and in case something went wrong, so I will try to update it directly...
Hope nothign goes wrong, since , Xperia Companion doesnt recognize my phone, but an old xperia x8 or an experia e1 are being recognized
Still, thank you bud
