Any chance you could make an FTF, im guessing yours is unbranded / SIM free?
I want to remove the o2 branding from mine.. .
Theres a guide on how to create FTF files, but it does mean you will have to restore your phone to stock...no worries if not, im sure a Generic Global FTF will appear shortly.

A quick note on root, it works fine, but, there are some residual issues:

Even if i mount /system as RW... a few seconds later, device reboots...?
I'm on O2 UK Branded firmware.

Yes thats what it does. It has nothing to do with a faulty root, it is just a security option on the Xperia T which should prevent modifications to the System partition. When i have time i will take a look and tell which daemon on device it is so we can kill the daemon and modificate the system partition.
Regards

Ok, i rooted my Xperia T with the above method but when i change something in the System folder the phone Reboots and puts it back to how it was
any ideas??
Build 7.0.A.1.303
----EDIT----
Working perfectly now. I just installed V13.

Use V13, i restored my phone completely using PC companion, then re-rooted, i can mount /system as RW, replace files etc..all ok.

Worked for me.

I just bought an xperia T and it was sold to me as an unlocked phone. But, it has a locked bootloader( from vodafone uk). I am wondering if its possible to get it unlocked(paid or free) or atleast put a stock sony firmware even if it has locked bootloader? I am new to xperia and I dont know much about flashing..
Thanks.

Read the all in one thread in the Q&A section. All your answers are there.
Briefly.
You can easily get a free unlock and easily root if you dont want to unlock.
You can easily flash stock sony firmware without unlocking or rooting.
Basically read the all in one thread and ask any questions there

You have to downgrade to ICS, root, instal CMW for LB and then flash a prerooted stock JB rom

Xperia TL locked bootloader
Hi,
I rooted my Xperia TL with a locked bootloader, and I read somewhere that I can only install custom roms which are based on the stock rom. Is there anyway around this?

No

Didn't work on my T with .195, in either normal mode, or 'new' mode.
Also tried to downgrade to 303 but that didn't work either, Flashtool gives an error.
Anyone know if you can use the OTA upgrade to root, and then downgrade back to 195?

You are using the wrong version.
Upgrade to JB then use the latest version

but what about your BRAVIA2/DRM keys???
I thought once you unlock BL it formats the TA partition...?
Ah I give up I'll wait until some easy options.... what I got was you cant backup your TA without root----> You cant root without your BL unlocked ( firmware .253 for now), you will lose BA2 and Drm if you unlock your bootloader.... So the question still rolls how to root your Z tablet with Firmware .253 without unlocking BL ?

maybe because the tablet is still very new, theres not many out there that people have their hands on..
might be best to wait until its been released world wide and a lot more of this is on demand?
perhaps.. does anyone has say .344 or earlier... firmware? I can make my firmware's back up first and then downgrade and then root it, do TA backup for future's sake, and then unlock the bootloader

From what I read, TA needs to be backed up before any BL unlock. once its unlocked the TA partition is gone for good along with the keys...no way of ever getting it back

Rooting does not void warranty, who told you that.. There is a difference between rooting and bootloader unlocking. To change your customization number, you need to root without bootloader unlock. By the way, after flashing the new firmware, every trace of the root will be erased, so nobody will ever know that you rooted your phone temporary.

In part A of my guide, you can find the links to the appropriate tools that allow you to root without unlocking your bootloader. You just have to connect your phone with USB debugging enabled and run the tool. The rest goes automatically. So no need to request an unlock key from Sony or anything

Many websites say 'rooting' when they actually mean 'bootloader unlocking'. On that website, they're talking about bricking your phone and custom ROMs. That means they mean 'bootloader unlocking', because custom ROMs are not possible with a locked bootloader. While it's possible to root your phone by unlocking the bootloader, that is not always required.
For many Xperia devices, we have software exploits that allow to root your phone without touching the TA partition or bootloader. This means that all traces of the root will be erased if you flash clean stock firmware and Sony will never know.
This is not the case when you unlock your bootloader. If you created a backup of your TA partition before unlocking the bootloader, you could always restore your phone to factory state, but Sony will still know that you requested a bootloader unlock key.
Like I already said, you only have to root your phone temporary to change your customization number, without unlocking your bootloader. After flashing the new firmware, all traces of the root will be gone, so this method is completely safe and will not void your warranty.
By the way, did you edit your original post? I see you're asking firmware version 10.3.A.0.423 now. This is currently only available for the 'Generic TW' customization for C6602. This can be used perfectly in Europe and USA however. It contains all languages. You can find an FTF here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2337838 or change your customization number to 1270-5691 and update with Sony PC Companion.

Xperia LT30at: Root, Unlock and Remove AT&T Apps?

In general, I would like ask about unlocking my Xperia LT30AT. I've unlocked a phone before but it has been a long time.
I seem to recall that when I unlocked my first phone, I downloaded a developer kit that you use to root and unlock the device. I am interested in doing that to my LT30at, but I don't want to use any custom roms like Cyanogenmod.
What I would like most of all to do: to
(1) root and unlock the phone,
(2) keep the (functionally) authentic Android OS, and
(3) Get all the AT&T apps off the phone for good.
...but I would settle for just the first one, for starters.
Any suggestions? Thanks! MX

To root this device you should use the flashtool, you can't unlock bootloader at all. Me I rooted it added a recovery. Then flashed a unbranded firmware via the. Recovery. Kept root that caused everything to work pretty Ok now my att TL is rooted with 4.3 with a few bugs

Since you want the phone to be rooted, you have only 2 options:
1) If you want to stay on 4.1.2: flash any generic 4.1.2 FTF using Flashtool and exclude the baseband in the process, then root the device.
2) If you want to upgrade to 4.3: follow the guide in my signature.
Bootloader cannot be unlocked.

If you update to 4.3 using Flashtool you will lose root access to the device because there is no exploit available yet. Carrier lock is SIM lock and is managed separately from ROMs.

Are you sure it's "bootliader unlock allowed: yes"? LT30at have always come with locked bootloader.
Carrier lock us SIM Lock. As I've said before it's nit affected by any kind of flashing. It's stored in a different location.

Yes , Bootloader unlock allowed in my device is YES . Firmware is 9.1.F.1.120 , android 4.1.2
So can i update my device to 4.3 ?
You're probably the first person I've seen with a TL with at&t firmware (I'm assuming since it's 120 firmware) that has an unlockable bootloader.
Yea I must 2nd that how did that happen

Is there a way to update rooted ZR with official Sony image?

I have a rooted Sony ZR 5502, it keeps telling me there's 10.5.1.A.0.283 update available.
I don't want a custom ROM. How do I proceed with updating with official SONY image? Is there a way? I can download it from Sony but not sure where it gets downloaded to.
I tried to read some threads here but there's so much info I get lost. PLease help.
Have you locked or unlocked bootloader?
You can use flashtool, regardless of locked or unlocked bootloader. If it is locked, then the update center, as far as I know, works. I used update center for my locked but rooted zr and even retained root.

[Q] Z1 c903 Bootloader locking. Help!

Hello all! Im new in xda forum, so i will be greatefull if you help me with my Sony Z1 phone. I have Z1 c903 on android 5.0.2., and I was mad on sony becouse they didnt make update to 5.1, so i was looking on forum how to root and install some custom rom and make my phone updated. So i find on some thread that i should unlock bootloader, and i followed instructions and unlocked it, but without making some backup or anything else. So i have seen that there is official update for sony and i want to get back to lock bootloader. But when i enter flashtool and enter "blu" i click on relock bootloader, and start phone type *#*#service#*#* it say that my bootloader is still unlocked. How should i get back to locked bootloader or make official update to 5.1. Please make it more clear becouse i am pretty noob for android development and rest. Also i want to add that i have not rooted my phone or install some custom rom or other, i just have unlock bootloader and thats all. Could i get back my "DRM keys" and could i get back my ofiicial android. Thanks in advance.

Hello all! Im new in xda forum, so i will be greatefull if you help me with my Sony Z1 phone. I have Z1 c903 on android 5.0.2., and I was mad on sony becouse they didnt make update to 5.1, so i was looking on forum how to root and install some custom rom and make my phone updated. So i find on some thread that i should unlock bootloader, and i followed instructions and unlocked it, but without making some backup or anything else. So i have seen that there is official update for sony and i want to get back to lock bootloader. But when i enter flashtool and enter "blu" i click on relock bootloader, and start phone type *#*#service#*#* it say that my bootloader is still unlocked. How should i get back to locked bootloader or make official update to 5.1. Please make it more clear becouse i am pretty noob for android development and rest. Also i want to add that i have not rooted my phone or install some custom rom or other, i just have unlock bootloader and thats all. Could i get back my "DRM keys" and could i get back my ofiicial android. Thanks in advance.

oh dear, you lost your drm keys.... thats not good....all sony own camera features (bionz, noise reduction...) are lost now. So without your drm keys, you dont get an advantage of locking bl again. SImply flash official sony 5.1.1 and here you are
Tutorial?
