Theoretically....
We can make flashable clean stock rom
But it only will combine (System,Data,Kernel,FOTAKernel)
So it will be limited as you can't flash lollipop stock on kitkat bootloader so you need to update bootloader by flashing ftf from pc
So.....
Why you don't easily flash ftf file from pc?
If i'm wrong in thing change me

i can't use flashtool anymore on my phone i doesn't work i don't know why
i'm already on android 5.1.1 so kernal boot everything is updated to android L

Why don't use prfcreator for making prerooted stock (flashable)

Remember that u don't have to update flashtool
Cause it may not work with your device

[STOCK] LT30p Stock+Rooted 9.1.A.0.489 flashable in CWM

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

Thanks a lot, was waiting for that !
Edit : I already flashed TiMiN8R Deodexed JB ROM, so I'll be fine if I only flash your rom over it, Right ?

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, any chance to get the same flashable .140 zip ? Tried OTA update to keep root but it didn't install...

[Q] Help with ROM choosing

Hi everybody.
As the title says, I'm looking for help with choosing custom ROM. I do know that such thing as a best rom is quite subjective, but may be there are only few (or may be even one) ROM which will suit my needs. So I'm looking for custom pre-rooted ROM based on stock 4.3.1, most finished (doesn't need in future updates) stable, fast, optimized which only exists. The only two basic apps I need are Walkman and GAPPS So far I've found RomAur v12.1 ROM which is quite nice but it's based on KitKat. So is there anything similar, but only for 4.3.1? Any help is appreciated.
P.S. Sorry for the grammer mistakes, I might make.

+1 Tried several kit kat roms, all are glitchy, buggy, just don't seem right. So I've also decided to downgrade... If anyone can link me with 4.3 stock deodexed it would be great.

stock kernel will be included in the rom itself no need of flashing seperately
just wipe/factory, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache

Downloaded everything just fine and have allready tried to install it, but when flashing is finished it just goes to infinite bootloop. Keeps rebooting after the Xperia logo. Is there any chance that this ROM for unlocked bootloaders only? May be the real reason is that I should flash RomAur v11 from 4.3 stock, but not from 4.2.2. Going to check it out. Will report on results then.

I wiped it several times, but still, while I was flashing from 4.2.2 I got a bootloops everytime. I guess the ROM was designed for flashing from 4.3 I came to this thought after read through similar ROM for ZL:
1 - FOR C6506, INSTALLED JB 4.3 FW

Screen mirroring

Well this is a major problem ... Guys have tried various method mirrorenabler on stock rom but no success. ... Therefore guys tell me which stock ROM is having screen mirroring in working condition ...
Mine bootloader is unlocked ..

For stock based rom, edit build.prop and change ro.build.type=user to =userdebug, and reboot.
Then, in developer options /HDCP checking, set it to "never check"
It's not working still on my Bravia it says registration failed... And i have bootloader unlocked and i did what u said
Try relocking bootloader by restoring Ta partition if possible (make sure to be on pure stock kernel). You will then get an NFC update. That's what I did, and it started working :beer:
@shoey63 Bro tell me which kernel and rom are u using because i am on rajeev ultra rom 4.4
Shoey do u have drm keys backup cuz i lost way back when i was rooting first time.... But what i can do is relock bootloader and install stock kernel and then try... Just tell me on which rom u are and kernel..
Ps links would be appreciated..
I'm just on pure stock. 283. Any ftf in the general section should do.
Note: I have LG smart TV - not Bravia.
@shoey63 bro tell me is your drm keys lost or not and which rom do u have and kernel. Plzz bro i need your help
DRM keys may not be required. Try relocking bootloader on your current stock based rom and stock kernel , and reboot. Make sure 'never check' hdcp is selected as I explained before.
Flash the stock. 283 kernel only ftf from here if required http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=55357181
Edit: another approach would be to flash a custom rom for UB - I'll see if I can one that definitely works with screen mirroring
Edit 2: Screen mirroring on latest Cm11 nightly definitely works with 'never check' hdcp - try that if you can't get stock to work. I can't provide a link to my stock. 283 ftf because I created it myself, and won't upload it. (so many already available)
Good luck:thumbup:
@shoey63 bro i flashed cm11 but in that it only cast screen and not the audio. And moreover i don't like custom roms... And i tried relocking my rom and did but i need the pure kernel i am on advanced stock kernel by you that phillz touch one help bro
Bootloader relocked? Good, now flash stock kernel with flashtool
(for kk 4.4.4) Your phone won't boot until you do so.
http://d-h.st/uM8
Bro @shoey63 i am away from home for some reasons for 1 week and so i can't test it but thanks for the link and can u tell me one simple things that is rajeev ultra rom a pure stock or which rom are u using.. Thnxx for all help you are really a kind human being ??
I'm on stock. 283 (Vodafone Australia)
But any should do - even @Rajeev, @Pandemic or whatever.
Just make sure to
* be on pure stock kernel
* be on locked bootloader
* Edit build.prop to =userdebug
* Set HDCP checking in developer options to 'never check'
That's about all I can suggest, hope you get it working :thumbup:

Dude... I've seen you on many posts telling people not to root or unlock bootloader... or not to flash stuff etc etc... Why would you come to xda if you dont want any of that? use your phone normally and wait for OTAs if you are so scared... yes flashing things like a moron will lead to soft bricks and bootloops. but those are basics of debugging any device... if one doesnt know how to recover from a soft brick then he/she shouldn't flash things to their device. Yes nowadays playing (and messing) with our devices is really easy, so noobs tend to make mistakes... I have too in the past. But if you stay scared then you dont belong on XDA

As for your problem, if you have root on 5.1 right now... go to playstore and download TWRP manager... (this is because TWRP is more stable, and supports all ROMs from 4.4.4 to 5.1, unlike philz touch or CWM) otherwise you can manually download the .img file and flash it via cmd prompt on PC. (If you dont know how to do that just let me know... I'll guide you through the process)
then download the flashable zip of your choice (I suggest official CyanogenMod11 ... I use it as my daily driver and confirm that it is stable with everything working)
Here is the link
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=sprout
additionally you need to download GAPPS from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942
Copy the two downloaded files to your external sd card (remember the path)
then boot into recovery and flash (install) them... then reboot to system and voila!! you are back on 4.4.4 !!
PS. I advise against going back to stock 4.4.4 because there are some added precautions you must take, otherwise you risk losing your imei , and wont be able to make calls/sms/mobile internet. Switching to CM is much safer and easier... plus gauranteed official (and faster than google) updates thanks to our beloved dev Varun Chitre

Download the factory image of 4.4.4 and place it in ADB folder ( if u have not setup adb, search in Google ), now take a backup of your current os via recovery ( just in case ), next wipe cache partition, factory reset. Now connect to PC, flash the factory image through ADB. [emoji2]

Easiest way to downgrade is to flash cwm backup of kitkat stock rom via custom recovery.If you had made clockworkmod backup of your rom before upgrading then just restore it from recovery after wiping data,system,boot and cache partition,there is no need for pc and Sp flash tool. If you have no backup then try to look for it on xda,and flash, it works without any issue.

Can you shed some light on this as to how will CM11 get official OTA updates(I presume) from google?

No. CyanogenMod is a different organisation altogether. They have those Jenkins(server) which builds for officially supported devices daily and uploads them (which will be downloaded later by the users as OTA)

Well... Google doesn't make cyanogenmod ... And official support for CM11 is dropped.... Use CM12, or the last CM11 NIGHTLY... Or choose an AOSP based Rom

You should have installed this using custom Recovery.
Just flash this

Nope, this is only for Android One devices.

A Good KitKat (4.4) Rom for XSP ???

I've been using CM12 Sabermod for a few months now but lately my phone has started to lag a lot, I've experience the same problems with other Lollipop based ROMs too. I never had this problem in 4.3 but I had to move to 5.1 since some apps that I use daily required KitKat or higher.
So my question is - is there any good KitKat ROM for XSP? If yes, how can I get the best performance for multitasking?
Before change to KK, I should ask: Do you already flash the most recent build?
Another is: Have yout try move apps to SD card?
Another one: Try to clean Cache on the Settings -> Storage (and then Reboot)?
And Clean cache of some apps too manually.
Remembering that to flash a the most recent build, you doesnt need to Backup, BUT... Just for convenience do it.
If none of those above options function well for you, indeed there is a stable and fast KK to our lovely (and hated) SP.
Options I recommend: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64991746&postcount=1320
Or
Last release from CM Team
http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=huashan&type=snapshot
Both are great in performance and multitask like the JB 4.3 Stock.
Is there a good one which has Stock features? As in it has the basic Sony apps. They were quite nifty.

I dont think so :/
I can recommend snapshot KK too which im using right now http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=huashan&type=snapshot with kernel from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2764939
Another good one was http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...anogenmod-11-locked-bootloader-users-t2868398 before I unlocked bootloader.
I havent tried CM13 but cm12.1 never worked out for me properly, either low amount of ram/no deep sleep or other problems such as wifi.
Ok I'll try them out. But I'm looking for something based on the Xperia stock OS.

What apps from the stock Xperia ROM do you want to find in another ROM?
I'm using the KK based MIUI 7 port, and it's been good so far. Check the thread.

Hi, a clean wipe should be enough. I did factory reset / wipe data, format system, cache and data, wipe dalvik, then install in that order:
OmniX-Rom, recommended gapps, SU-update. Please confirm to fix super user when asked, then reboot into system. First boot will take some minutes (less than 5).
Which recovery do you recommend I flash for this?

I think I know what ROM you need: search for z3experiencesp (the kitkat version).

I would try that rom if the led bar was working exactly as it does in the stock firmwares (you know, receiving phone calls, viewing images, making a call etc.). There isn't a way to duplicate that functionality level since it's cyanogenmod-based, right?
