INFORMATION about ROOT: for me NOT working the V15 BATCH ROOTING!!!!!!!!!!
more information: If somebody does not like this does not use it.

Why the new thread, just edit your thread from earlier..
Anyway, are you saying root does not work? Have you tried flashtool to root? Have you tried another version of bin4ry's method....very important important to know if Sony have changed the backup exploit for rooting

Dont worry....its good that you shared. But it is not a [rom] upload, that sort of suggests its a custom rom. This is just [stock firmware] and that the way i described it in the all in one thread.

S1Boot (Bootloader) Update for Xperia T

Hey,
in latest firmware there is a update to S1Boot (to Version R10A21). I think most users who DONT USE PCC/SEUS will not have the update because Flashtool does not decrypt it correctly.
I packed it up into German Firmware, so if you are interested you can flash this Firmware and then just reflash ANY OTHER Firmware if you dont want to stay on German one. After S1Boot got updated it will stay updated no matter what Firmware you flash afterwards, becasue normally it is not included.
File can be downloaded here from my Firmware collection, directlink to Xperia T folder:
http://ul.to/f/2fvm79
Regards

Thanks for that. Do you know what's changed?
I just checked my version and it s R10A118

Hi Binary, Can I confirm that I can backup my current stock rom (7.0.A.3.195) using CWM recovery (advanced kernel v4), then flash this for S1 update, then (correct me if I am wrong please!) re-flash kernel and then restore rom via CWM: resulting in being back to my current rom but with S1 Boot update.
Also just check that I should use "Generic DE (S1Boot-Update).ftf" - is this the one you refer to in the OP.?
Thanks for your patience

I updated via PCCompanion and my boot is
R10A118
WHich "latest" version did you get the new boot from? And what is new in it?

Mine is R10A121 and it was flashed with Flashtool.

It is included inside the SEUS files for the 195 Version, but "problem" is that we need to update Flashtool so that it decrypts the File correctly. For now we only added the "alternate" decryption for Loader, now S1Boot seems to be updated too Which is quite good, maybe they add features in future like button for recovery

If you got it from PCC i dont know why you did not get it. Hope you did not understood me wrong. It is NOT implemented yet. I just hope that they WILL update is later on, with this possibility to update the S1Boot it would be possible from technical way

Yes, I understand that, Can you check this firmware. Its the .ftf I made from my PCCompanion update. I dont know where to look to check the boot.
But i do get an update when i connect to pccompanion, allthough it gives me the same FW number, i thought that was strange but maybe its the new boot.

Do your PCC Files are 3 or 4 Files? If your firmware includes the S1Boot update then it should be 4 Files!!
IT CAN BE that the branding firmwares does NOT include the S1Boot update, maybe that is the reason

ok, I only used 3 largest files. The rest were all really small files. I will download again and make a new branded one...that way we will know if branded versions have the new boot.
I will get too it after I have eaten.
EDIT
Weird,
PCCompanion says my current version is 7.0.A.1.303, whilst my phone says I am on 7.0.A.3.195....lets see what happens
EDIT
Looks like i am getting 4 files, 3 downloaded already and still the big one to go....

Hehe.
The S1Boot is a FILE_XXXXXXX file with approx 330kb. But as i said Flashtool cannot decrypt now, it needs manual decryption.

Check my second edit above, i do get that file now.
But guess what, (Like a noob) i forgot i cant use pccompanion anymore because of unlocked bootloader..D'oh
Anyway, any chance of instructions on how to manually decrypt it (Probably nothing simple) or if I send you the files can you incoorporate them into my .ftf so I can flash it?
I canthen also add a branded vodafobe version with the new boot to the ftf list.
Cheers

I need help to find out whish version S1Boot my lt30p has.
I tried to find the postet version numbers in the phone settings, I searched google, I installed SEUS .........
Nothing, I have no idea where you have the version numbers from.

I did it in less than 10 minutes
1. Download one of the .ftf's from the OP that have the s1 boot update in title.
2. make a backup of your current rom
3. Download, install and set up flashtool. (Link in the all in one thread)
4. Drag and drop the .ftf into the open window of flashtool.
5. Tick all the boxes that say exclude except the one that says exclude uncategorized Check the attached image
6. Flash the .ftf following flashtool instructions
7. Reboot phone and check your s1 boot version, it should now be updated
8. Reboot into recovery and restore your backup.
9. You are now on the latest s1 boot with the same rom you had before.
EDIT
Alternative Method.
Flash this LT30_7.0.A.3.195_Generic DE (S1Boot-ONLY).ftf - 725.46 KB
(N.B. It is reported to relock your bootloader, just unlock it again if thats the case, info taken from this post)

Hi there guys,
I have a locked bootloader on my Sony Z1, I have the dual recovery (at least, I did), I flashed something, just a different boot animation and afterwards the boot animation didn't work properly.
So I went back to recovery to restore the backup that I had made just before flashing the boot animation and it came up with an error half way through restoring the /System, and aborted.
After it aborted and exited recovery, on the way out it said "No Root Access Detected" and asked if I wanted to "Reroot" it, so I said yes.
Now when it boots, it just sits on the "Sony" screen, with no colour on the LED, or anything. Can't hold the buttons to go to recovery either.
Can't use the Sony Flashtool, because that requires an unlocked bootloader, and I can't use the Sony Software Companion, because that requires the phone to fully boot.
Is there anything that you guys can suggest?
Thanks in advance.

There are some issues with restoring backups on dual recovery, i think this is fixed with the latest version of dual-recovery(check that thread for updates). Do not use Sony flashtool, use the this flashtool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2439328 - read from Part 4 and you can download firmwares from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2469191.

Thank you so much!
I am on 02 in the UK, and hate the fact it has the stupid 02 bubble up and down animations, so would it be fine if I used to Generic UK FTF?
and would there be any disadvantage to using this one over the 02 FTF?
also, on the first link you posted, it said to download the EXE for the application and I have done that, but it said to download the device files folder they have, and place that in the flashtool folder, but the device files link isn't there? So what do I have to do?
Place the FTF in the folder they specified, or?
(sorry if I seem a noob, come from using/flashing HTC's for years)

lol its okay, i used to have a htc one too but im a bit of a flash junkie but anyway. If you use a generic ftf it doesnt have all the O2 apps that get bundles along with the phone. Ignore the device files folder, you dont need it. you need to place the firmware in the "Firmwares" folder which is in the directory where flash tool was installed. Mine is here C:\Flashtool\Firmwares

[Q] Unable to downgrade to .534 to root phone. Missing IMEI

I really am at a loss now.
There seems to be nothing that i am doing that is making it possible for me to get my phone rooted.
I am running 4.3 .290 on an unbranded c6903 and i have been trying for the last week to downgrade it to .534 so i can root the phone.
I have gone through the forum and have tried the recommended ways. I have downloaded all the correct ftf files. I have flashtool up to date.
I started with downgrading direct to .534 but the IMEI number just read 00000etc. I re-read the forum and saw that i should try and go to .557 before downgrading to .534. Same thing happened. No IMEI number. I then tried a different ftf file to no avail.
Today i saw someone say to use SUS but not to wipe Data. Tried it and the phone got stuck in a bootloop.
I am at a loss. I have never had a phone which was so difficult to root. I have rooted nearly all my android phones before the Z1 and i am confident with doing so.
I really like the phone and i will not be replacing it anytime soon. But has anyone got any ideas that can help me so i can get this phone rooted.

To get your IMEI back you will need to update to .290 (once you get on .290 firmware your IMEI should reappear).Then you can either go through .257 to .534 or you can use a special .534 ftf made by [NUT] where no IMEI loss occurs. You can use my guide to guide you through the process:

Jumping directly to .534 it will lost IMEI. You can't or you use one posted by NUT.

I have downloaded it but when i extract the zip it comes up as ''sin file'' and not ftf files.

I don't know what you downloaded but I downloaded the file from the first link today, which shem2409 posted, and I have a classic FTF file, 767.8MB. Both links give me FTF extension file so check again what exactly you downloaded. Anyway if the file is correct rename the extension from .sin to .ftf and you are ready to flash.

Nope. I am not getting a classic ftf file. I am downloading the file. I am extracting the zip and it is giving me a breakdown of the files in sin format. No ftf file to be seen anywhere.
I have downloaded ftf files no issue apart from these ones.
I guess i am doing something wrong somewhere but i am now feeling like a noob as i cannot for the life of me figure out what the hell i am doing wrong.
I even tried to create an ftf file bundle using flashtool but to no avail.
Still at a loss. I am using WinRAR extract to by the way.

Do what I told you. Don't do what you think because you will mess up stuff and at the end you will brick you phone trying to flash some kind of file made by you. If you downloaded correctly from the Point 4) from the Video Tutorial and the size is 770MB then you have just to rename the file from .sin to .ftf, do you understand? Then try to make the process again via flashtool and all will be fine.

I would do but i do not have a ''file'' as such.... When i extract the zip. I have a complete breakdown of the file in sin format and it includes boot folder, META-INF folder and 14 different .sin files.
My understanding is that all together these will make a ftf file but i cant get them into that format. They are in one folder and when opened it gives me a complete breakdown of the file in sin format.
I cannot explain it more and i am unable to copy and paste on here what it is i am seeing.
I have never had this problems with any files before and i cannot figure out what i am doing wrong this time

Ok, now I understand, you get files like on the pictures I posted, right?
Then rename the .zip file to .ftf. If you do not see the extensions on your PC like .txt, .doc, then go to Control Pannel > Folder Options > View and uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types" then Apply and go to rename the Zip file to .ftf and you are ready to flash.

Not really, is for C6903 only and I will not recommend to cross over. BTW, to avoid the IMEI lost in the case to downgrade directly to .534 with other Firmware just exclude "Baseband" and all will be fine.

If you're planning to upgrade anyway you'll get your IMEI back, so just root it and upgrade.

Thanks for the post.
No that did not work for me. Downgrading to .534 excluding "Baseband" too resulted in loss of IMEI. Tried a few times and failed miserably. I feel I will have to downgrade to .257 before getting to .534 as this is the other suggestion to downgrade without loosing IMEI. But the issue I am facing is that the flash tool does not seem to recognize the .257 ftf file that I downloaded. Not sure why. So planning to download the Global .257 release and then try downgrading to .534 so as to get to rooted status.

I would be upgrading to the latest firmware but need a rooted device. Rooting 4.3 without unlocking the BL is not possible. Hence want to take the round about way of getting this achieved.

[Q] Creating FTF from the PCC

Hi. I wanna ask regarding this creating FTF from the PCC for stock rom.
I have download the update 266 with the PCC,
then i use flashtool to decrypt those file that save in DB folder.
But when i choose them after decrypt to make the FTF,
if i include the loader.sin , my flashtool wont able to run or stop at "streaming C:\flashtool\loader sin"
wont move at all.
But if i didnt select the loader.sin, then with others,
it will able to finish and create the FTF (and torrent).
But was this correct without the loader.sin? As the file now is around 800mb.
My flash tool is ver 9.14 not the latest 9.15.
So, am i doing it the correct way?
