Hello all,
I got a Xperia T, with firmware 7.0.A.3.195.
Now i want root acces for it but there isn't exploid for it yet.
Now i can unlock the bootloader but i dont want to becouse of the warranty of the phone.
And love the stock rom.
Is there any change in the future of getting root acces on the stock firmware?

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.

02/016/2012 23:16:45 - ERROR - You can find them in the drivers folder of Flashtool.

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.

I dont get it??
Edit: found the problem.
I did use vol button up.
Bud needed to use vol button down.

[Q] Flashing in Emma and then rooting

Hey guys,
I have been trying to root my Xperia Z (10.3.1.A.2.67) for the past three hours now with no success..
I followed this guide: www android gs/root-xperia-z-stock-10-3-1-a-0-2442-67-firmware/ and am now stuck at step 3 of the actual rooting (not the preparation). I cannot seem to find how I can flash the custom kernel to my phone using Emma.
I have googled around for a while and found that I can add services to Emma using the tools menu, too bad I don't have one: prntscr com/23psmy
I would love to root my phone or at least get my own kernel thingy back D:

One thing to consider is that Emma Flashtool is NOT Flashtools.
You CANNOT flash custom kernels from Emma.

I have, and it does NOT work, tried every windows version in there, not a single one worked. Tried restarting, safe mode, compatibility mode, admin mode and restarting again. It's been way too long now and I'm just giving up. This went so much easier with my S3...
I'll try again tomorrow if I feel like it but if I have to go through all this freaking trouble I don't think it'll be worth it..

Can anyone please help my with this? Because I don't want to have a reset phone that hasn't even been rooted..

Download it again and check the MD5 of the file you downloaded. As a quick check, the file should be around 112MB.
Something is definitely wrong, as there are many people using Flashtool on Windows 8 without issues and it is definitely not a 16 bit application (32 and 64 bit executables are installed).

Alright I got it to work now. However, I get the following error when trying to flash another kernel:
13/016/2013 21:16:11 - INFO - Please unplug and start your phone
13/016/2013 21:16:11 - INFO - For flashtool, Unknown Sources and Debugging must be checked in phone settings

I enabled debugging and unknown sources and held my flash button (volume down) while plugging in my phone again. (Also tried volume up) Neither one worked.
The only thing that changed is that my wifi won't enable anymore.

Can't see any errors. Looks like a clean kernel flash.
What's exactly the error? You lacking wifi? Are you using a custom kernel like DooMLord's?
For wifi to work on Doom's kernel you have to flash the kernel.zip from recovery.

I also don't see any errors. Don't worry about wifi not working. You should only be running with the old kernel long enough to root, so it doesn't matter.
Root using DooMLoRD's script, flash your original kernel back and you're done.

I know it should work, but my phone (settings -> about phone) still shows the old version ..

Have you actually tried to root? I never even checked in About phone after flashing the kernel. I just booted the phone and rooted it.

Pretty sure its the same process as for the 67 firmware. Check out the instructions on one of the custom roms thats 74 based (eg existenz) the first section of the directions (aka flash base firmware, flash known working rootable kernel, root, then flash back the kernel from the first firmware or the one provided by the rom developer is essentially just directions to root your phone and install recovery prior to actually installing their rom.

Just to check - you extract flashtool to c:/flashtool. Then install the adb drivers from c:/flashtool/drivers, then choose the model phone from the list, you can install drivers for as many phones as you want there. Make sure you have admin priveleges in windows, or right click-run as admin. Also make sure your windows system folder isnt set to read only. If you are using windows 8 check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2095087 or similar threads, the drivers may either not install, or seem to but wont see your phone.

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,

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.

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..

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
