I know TiMiN8R made a Stock Rooted Deodexed rom for everyone but some people asked for just a Stock rom that wasn't deodexed so that's what I have made here. This is a stock firmware with only root added. Please note the kernel and CWM are not packed into this rom (though the reboot fix is) Please read the note at the bottom regarding bootloop issues.
Here you go: http://d-h.st/tAn
Installation for Unlocked Bootloader
* Make a backup - Always backup just in case you ****up (Data backed up through Sony's Backup & Restore app can be restored without issue)
* Flash any kernel you want to use that has built in recovery.
* Enter recovery
* Factory reset
* Flash rom.
Installation for Locked Bootloader
* Make a backup - Always backup just in case you ****up (Data backed up through Sony's Backup & Restore app can be restored without issue)
* Use flashtool to flash any generic ftf that can be rooted using Bin4ry's method. If you are already on a LT30 ICS/JB firmware that is rooted you can ignore this step.
* Root using Bin4ry's method.
* Install CWM for Xperia T Locked bootloaders
* Enter recovery, factory reset and flash the ROM.
* Flash the stock ftf (same version as the rom used ftf available in my signature) in Flashtool but uncheck Wipe Data, Wipe Cache, Wipe app Log. Also exclude everything except for Kernel. (This is needed to update the Kernel to the latest stock version otherwise you may get a bootloop.)
**Keep LTE**
If you have a LT30at or LT30a and would like LTE with the LT30p rom then once you have flashed the above go back into Flashtool and flash the latest LT30at or LT30a ftf. UNCHECK Wipe Data, Wipe Cache, Wipe app Log, and exclude everything EXCEPT for baseband. This should put LTE support back on the phone but keep the LT30p system.
*If you started on a rooted LT30at or LT30a firmware and flashed this rom straight from that you do not have to reflash the baseband as it is not overwritten by this rom.
You will need to reinstall CWM after flashing this rom if you want it. CWM is not baked into this rom.
**NOTE**
If going from ICS to JB you will get a bootloop after flashing and rebooting phone. Hold the power and Volume up button until the phone vibrates three times (simulated pulling of battery for non-removable batteries). You can then flash the JB kernel through flashtools to fix the bootloop.
You can also flash kernel from cwm.
http://d-h.st/wye
It's just a stock kernel with no cwm. It's especially for locked bootloader but unlocked bootloaders can use it as well.
Just use that link and you will find it

Hello Spectre51.
So, if I flash this ROM, it will use the Kernel I used to get into Recovery?
I'm coming from HTC devices, so Sony is new to me...
I would prefer to keep the stock kernel for now. In EMMA I do not see the option only to flash a kernel? I see the ICS stock .195 rom and then the JB Alpha build. Is that the .489 version?
I'm currently on the .489... Like the ROM but only need root on it.
Thx,
j
Download flashtool from the dev section. You can flash kernel s using that

Deodexed or Odexed
I flashed your rom last night. Flased overon TiMi8R. Still, I have a lingering question. Is Odexed faster than Deodexed?

Basically deodexed roms are easier to modify. Odexed roms boot up quicker (On first boot only)

There is some warnings at the end of the post about bootloop if you move from ICS. Have you read it. Perhaps you need to flash a JB kernel to solve it.

Hi,
I just recently got the xperia TX and would like to root it. I've checked the threads but it seems like all of them revolve around the T. Are they the same thing? Meaning the methods that they use for the T, can I use it for the TX too ?
If not, can anybody knowledgeable point me towards the right thread? Thanks :laugh:
I'm currently on 3.212 FW.
You need to do a bit of reading before you could root your TX.
Check whether your bootlodaer can be unlocked under service menu (*#*#7378423#*#*)
You can find the complete guide on everything about rooting under this threadQ&A][ALL IN ONE Xperia T/TX/TL/V Collection]
I believe Binary method will work on tx, i hope someone with more knowledge rooting tx will reply to help you.
You do not need to be able to unlock the boot loader in order to root.

Just go ahead and use the method by bin4ry to root your phone

well if you want the latest firmware, update using pccompanion first and then root. If youu dont want the latest firmware, just root it now
I'm TX user, my method, using Flashtool flash your tx to 7.0.A.1.307 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1933755), then root (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460), install cwm (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2007741), and download XperimenT version 1.7.1 with locked bootloader or you can choose other rom, probably this the the only best 1 for TX user in my opinion. After flashing with cwm then flash with this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2114664) using cwm. reboot, everything done. hope it will help you.

Upgrade to JB and use Bin4rys method to root.
JB has not yet appeared for TX. I do not understand why Sony has not updated both models T and TX together . Understand that there is no root method for ICS 7.0.A.3.197?
Apologies, I thought you had a T, my mistake.
Instead downgrade to a .305 firmware, then root that, then flash a rooted .197 firmware or an ics rooted Rom for the T and flash the tx fix

Mmm.. TX user still can't upgrade to Jelly bean. Sony say first of april only can get jelly bean for TX. Other than patient I don't know what else can be done. Root and CWM only work well on 7.0.A.1.307.
yup, same thing im doing. waiting for jellybean to root with binary's method. hopefully all the major bugs are fixed on jellybean. camera quick launch bug really bothers me, it's one of the most distinctive features of Sony and yet they managed to screw that up for over a year now.
Sony developers are really not doing their jobs properly. Took over 3 updates for the xperia S to get rid of the camera quick launch and after that, they don't apply the same fix to the newer phones? Really shocks me.

download flashtool (just google it) and then goto the driver folder in the installation path and run drivers.exe.

Please read the OP of all CM rom threads
Bootloader needs to be unlocked.
But you can install stock based roms.
Just look in the dev section and read up on the roms.

You're stuck. Your bootloader is probably unable to be unlocked. You can only go for stock-based roms. Roms like CyanogenMod or AOKP needs an unlocked bootloader.

Yes, you can use stock (XPERIA T) FTF's - just skip the baseband portion before you being flashing so you keep your AT&T baseband.
Then root with whatever method is needed
Then install CWM recovery
Then yes - you can flash stock-based (XPERIA T!) roms. You can usually tell the rom is stock/Locked Bootloader/LBL-friendly in the title of the thread, or in the first few posts of the thread. Also, I don't know how important this is - but also look to see what stock kernel the rom is based on (LT30p 141? 145? 489?). Stock kernel zips can be flashed via CWM recovery (I know that my Bell LT30a works fine with LT30p kernels, but I wonder if the AT&T LT30at will also be fine with it?). My favourite ROMS have been XperimenT and T-Hybrid so far... Good luck
And always keep your stock FTF handy! Because if any flashing you do doesn't work, you can always quickly fall back on a fresh whole FTF flash that is appropriate for your phone. Then the fun starts all over
Kernel
I did flash the kernel 145 from the T idk what really went wrong but my phone stuck on the sony logo
also i use XperimenT rom and flash it using CWM it install in about 7 secs which doesnt seems right . any suggestions ?

after trying diffrent method and days of trouble shooting with my friend
LaZiODROID there is a solution, using cwm(v9) would not format your system and data files thats the reason why the rom hangs at the sony logo because no system files were installed if u check the log, using cwm(v8) for the T,TL is the most stable and will install the rom and kernel with ease. Remeber to always wipe/factory reset then format system and in advance settings wipe dalvik before u install any rom.
