Yes, you will need to root you X8, Intall a custom recorvey, then Flash a rom!
I recommend Gingerdx 22 (New one is not as good as before...)
I'm new to XDA!
Please click the "thanks" button if i helped!

yes... you can't install a custom ROM without rooting your phone... try using linuxperia for stock kernel...

Actually u can without , flash kernel , recovery , then ROM . But u need unlocked bootloader.

You need root privileges to unlock Bootloader. It says it on the unlocker cmd file. "Getting root rights" or something similar.
Actually, you need to root to do pretty much everything here on XDA.

stuck on sony logo, u have to use the flashtool for flashing to revert back anything you do for your device..
search the ftf ( with root and deodexed apps ) on the forum, flash with flashtool.
You can bring your device back if you do a right procedure to flash it..

You reflash your rom. This is clear solution for you. You minimize potential future problems.

Anyone using 569 firmware tried this? I suppose when I use flashtool to flash this I can retain my data by deselecting the data partition, correct?

Root Xperia T on JB 4.3 with locked booloader

Hello friends, i have a Xperia TL with a locked bootloader, i want to flash stock firmware Android 4.3 to my device via flashtool.
But how can i root my decive before i flash this rom. I have a locked bootloader and it says "allowed= NO".
I need to root because i want to restore my apps and data.

Why don't read "Xperia T, TL, TX, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting" first thread?

If you flash it with flashtool it's easy... Just disselect data wipe and then you don't need to restore your data or apps.

You can root ur TL by : this tool( Password : xdamobile )
So simple, download and install, wait a second then click root.
If success, confirm here. Good luck.
NOTE: this tool only can root xperia T 4.1.2

No, if you flash FW via flashtool, the root is lost.
I think you should :
1. Back up ur app by titanium backup.
2. Download 4.1.2 stock FW LT30at from HERE
3. Download newest 4.3 Unbrand and flash it via flash tool (u must choose exclude baseband)
4. Root it by my tool
5. Restore app
If root fail at 4.3, u can flash 4.1.2 stock then root and restore app. Good luck

Thank you again.. If root doesn't work.. Is there another method to root? I wanna stay on 4.3.

Nice try.
It installs a bunch of Chinese bloatware, language can't be changed and root CAN'T be obtained.
As much as I could understand it's a tool for MTK hardware and uses restore for root, and it doesn't work.

:silly:
dear a_new_day, i was wondering if you would have a 'tool' for Xperia V (LT25i). I was searching the forums for a version that would work on my newly installed FM 9.2.A.1.199, JB 4.3. Your thread came up and I was hopeful but I read through it and it's for Xperia T :crying:
as of present I haven't yet found a working one for the new FM. I hope that DoomLord will soon come to the rescue...
thanks for whatever help/thread/link you can give. it's my only way to tweak the phone so as to increase the LIMIT number on SMS sent.

Temporary root for 14.3.A.0.757?

Is there any method to root the firmware 757 but temporary, on locked bootloader? Anyone knows?
Sent from my C6903 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

All root is temporary because you can just unroot by removing the files..
Also SuperSU app has an unroot function

No I do understand, but why would you want that?
Anyway, just replace the stock ric file.

There is no way, and there is no need to temp root xperia z1.. Temp root is only for device like HTC wich have locked bootloader and some added security such as S-OFF. In xperia u have only locked or unlocked bootloader and perma root.

You cannot pre root FTF files. Everything in a FTF file has to be completely stock from Sony
You need to follow the instructions in my signature if you want 757 and root and not unlock the bootloader
