Flash a stock generic 303 firmware, found in the all in one thread.
Root using bin4rys method.
Then follow the thread for keeping root on an OTA update,
But first, read the all in ine thread, its the very first thread in this section.

But you can't flash anything with out x recovery and root acces i always thought?
I will read the topic's again.
Thx in advanced

No,
You can always use flashtool to flash a stock ftf no matter on root status. Read the thread.
There are several threads on how to root 195 firmware.
Root access is not automatic, xperia phones do not come rooted, you have to do it yourself

I know how it al works, with the x10.
Now i have a Xperia T but cant find the drivers.
Flashtool is asking about the drivers, and i did install al of them.
But there is no T drivers.
Isn't there a tutorial or something what i can read about.

yes, but not directly, there are plenty of guides in the general section.
It basically involves downgrading to 303, rooting and then doing an OTA update to 195.

I had problems first time around (using Flashtool). I had to install ALL the drivers regardless of device and set my phone into mass storage mode with USB debugging on to get it to work.
If I helped hit thanks!

Install both Flashtoll driver and TX driver was fine for me (done with 0.9.8.0 version).

Something else I've discovered (since I re-flashed stock firmware again today on a different PC) is that the phone drivers often don't initialise in time if using latest Windows OS (Win 7 in my case) since the PC looks online for drivers before trying the installed ones.
Clicking the new hardware wizard icon and skipping the Windows Update drivers check got the phone recognised.
If I helped hit thanks!

Tanks all for the answers.
But i did al you all said but nothing is working.
I did install pc companion again.
Installed al the drivers.
And stil the same error.

[Q] Back to 4.1

Hi experts,
before i try the new 4.3 rom i would like to know if it is possible to revert back to 4.1.2 later on.
Thanks
Attila

Of course. Flashtool + appropriate FTF file which you can find anywhere in this subforum and you can easily revert back to 4.1.2

Thx
Thank you,
then i give it a try.
Cheers.

Which needs unlocked bootloader, correct?
Which additional drivers need to be installed?
Is there a way to downgrade with locked bootloader? I am actually ok with the function of .199 but not with it's tons of bloat, and no way to install certain apps. No root is almost like having no sex ever.

Of course yes, flashtool is both for locked and unlocked bootloaders! The drivers I always install is something called "Gordon Gate driver", the FlashTool itself and this is enough for the phone to be recognized while plugging. Be sure to plug in the phone one time in flash mode before the final flashing so that the PC recognizes it and installs drivers, after that unplug it for a while and turn it off again because it will probably turn on, it always happens in my case when I plug the phone for the first time after f.e. installing a brand new OS and not every drivers are installed. Then run FlashTool and you can start the magic!
But, you can always disable certain apps in Settings>Apps>All. You will be actually freezing them (just like with titanium backup) but it's pretty useful. Aaaaand there are two ways of flashing recovery on locked bootloaders so that you can i.e. flash SuperSU .zip file with the app and appropriate binaries (you can find it on its dedicated thread here on XDA), that's what I'm always doing.
My phone is T. Xperia T.

Ok, I have still a notebook somewhere in the corner running XP. I'll see what this one can do. If I can downgrade to 4.12, then I can rrooooot that one. At least I would not feel so naked and vulnerable anymore.
Can Flashtool make a mirror or image of the current ROM?
And thanks bunches for your helpful answer!

Here are the rough steps to downgrade:
- use a PC which runs Windump XP or 7
- install Flashtool
- install drivers (in the Flashtool drivers folder)
- download a 4.12 FTF of your choice. Nordic and Singapore seem pretty good.
- switch phone to USB debugging
- open Flashtool, click on the flash symbol and chose flashmode, follow the instructions, don't disable any of the flashing options
- after successful installation root with DooMLoRD_Easy-Rooting-Toolkit_v17_perf-event-exploit
- after successful rooting update SuperSu
- install recovery CWM4XperiaT_v8i_JB
From here you can install a rooted 4.3 if you can live with it's shortcomings, or any 4.2. I choose Pure-X-Blaster 4.2.2.

[Q] Fastboot and Flashmode drivers

Hi. I have read all the guides. Installed flashtool 0.9.18.4 and all drivers in the flashtool drivers application. Flashtool will detect my device but when I try to flash something it will say I need to install drivers. I can't downgrade. I can't install recovery. I can't root. I am using c6903 on 14.4.A.0.133 Build number. This was a stock update and device has never been rooted. I need to downgrade to root but I can't. This is what I am getting in flashtool.
ERROR - (MainSWT.java:127) - Drivers need to be installed for connected device.

Well, usually when you have pc companion installed and you plug in your phone for the very first time with usb debugging enabled, all the necessary drivers are installed automatically. However if that's not what has happened with you, follow this guide http://visualgdb.com/tutorials/android/usbdebug/. If it works out for you then good otherwise then follow this one http://visualgdb.com/tutorials/android/usbdebug/manualinstall.php hope it helps

[Q] Xperia T Dead

Hey guys. I was trying to install Cm10 on my sister's xperia T. I rooted it, installed recovery, wiped everything but after I flashed CM and clicked reboot, the phone is dead. I can't turn it on, I can't enter recovery mode, the PC isn't recognising it. If I push the on/off button it vibrates once but then nothing and if I push at the same time power on and volume up, it vibrates three times but then again nothing.
I know I forgot to do something while installing the ROM but please any piece of help might be extremely useful as I ended up with a dead phone and nothing I can do.

Did you unlock the phone's bootloader? Because custom roms like cyanogenmod require an unlocked bootloader for xperia phones. Also, try using the flashtool to revive your phone. This sounds pretty much like a soft brick. If I'm right, it's 100% guarandeed you can bring the phone back to life.

Are there other errors above the ones seen there?
What ROM did you Flash? Maybe you could try with ones found here on XDA.
Also, when you start up the FlashMode process in Flashtools, is your phone already connected?

Yes it was a problem caused by the ROM I was trying to install. I found one with stock 4.0.4 and flashed it and finally it came back to life.
And in fact it is faster than when it was running 4.3.3

Guess what: if you don't like the 4.04, you can find official 4.3 firmware files in this site. There's a collection of these things. Just search for them.

Thanks for the tip. In fact I'll make another effort to install CM and this time I'll make sure to follow every step properly. But comparing the two editions, I think 4.0 is smoother than 4.3.

HELP,Z3 compact flashing error :(

Been trying to root my Z3 compact (D5803) 23.4.A.1.264, can't officially unlock bootloader so trying to downgrade to 23.0.A.2.93, followed instructions for flashtool at least 20 times but can't seem to do it.. Starts of fine, click the ftf I want to flash, tick wipe data ect.. Prepares the files for flashing, device connected in flash mode but Always says ERROR.. Unable to open bundle.. Flash cancelled.. Grrr I'm literally pulling my hair out trying to figure it out lol help pretty please

It appears you may not have the correct adb drivers installed, or the ftf you have is corrupt

Okay thanks, I've downloaded another ftf so will try that one..how do I get the correct adb drivers?? X
