[Q] Flashing ROM + Bootloader Xperia T

Hey guys, I am fairly new to the android phones, (recently came from an iPhone) but I had heard so much about the freedoms with the Android os so I decided to switch.
I purchased the Sony Xperia T (LT30a) locked on the Bell mobility LTE network. I have really wanted to unlock the bootloader, so when I went in to check it said "Bootloader Unlock Allowed: NO". after some searching I read that it was my carrier preventing the bootloader from being unlocked, and that if I followed the following simple steps, it would change the message to :"Bootloader Unlock Allowed: YES". so here is what I did:
1. Flashed a Generic firmware to my phone (ICS it was a uk generic) which then changed my model number in "About phone" from LT30a to LT30p and removed all the bell branding.
2. Using an IMEI number, i was able to get an unlock code and unlocked the phones sim card to work on any network, and have tested and it does work.
the problem I am having is that even after doing this, the bootloader is still "locked" and can not be unlocked. I have taken a look at the methods for the test pin, but that involves removing the battery to view the motherboard, which sucks because this phone the battery is not removable. if anyone know a free or paid way to unlock the bootloader on the Xperia T LT30a or LT30p models, please let me know! thanks.

I dont know where you read that, but it is wrong and there is no way to change that message.
If it says no, then your bootloader can not be unlocked.
Its not Sony's fault, its not googles fault, its Bells fault for being a dev unfriendly provider.
Test point method will not work even if we could remove the battery, that loophole has been closed in 2012 devices.

ok well thank you very much! I guess my next question is.. is there any way at all to install a custom ROM such as cyanogen mod 10 ? or if you know of any better ones while my bootloader is locked?

You can only install stock based custom roms because you wony be able to flash a custom kernel with a locked bootloader. Therefore there is no hope for cyanogenmod, AOKP or MUIU
There are several in the Dev section to choose from, ranging from early ICS firmwares to the latest JB firmware.
I dont recommend Roms (Even my own) as choosing a rom should be a personal thing, but the I am currently on Timin8rs rooted and deodexed JB rom which you can flash.
You will need to root your phone in order to flash a recovery, then flash the .zip for the rom using that recovery.
Find all instructions for doing that in the All in one thread. Its the first thread in the Q&A section.
good luck and if you need extra help after reading up on what you need to do then ask. But remember to read up first!

thank you very much! hopefully sometime in the near future they come out with a way to fix this problem, and believe me, I do not blame sony at all for this

Sorry for the double post! But I just wanted to say, that if anyone needs help testing different roms and/or ways of unlocking a locked bootloader, I do have a sim unlocked xperia T and just wanted to throw this out, but if sony does not "perma lock" the bootloader, and if it is infact the carrier, then would this not prove that it is sonething in the firmware? I spoke with my sister who is a manager for a bell store here, acording to her, Bell is not authorized to open, or attempt to fix this phone, it is simply sent to sony for repairs.. Just makes me wonder because if Bell can not open the phone, then they must have used some sort of software.. I have always thought of software as "semi-permenant" that it can be reversed , and that its only a matter of figuring out how to reverse it?

Problem with recovery z1 Help please.

Ok so i've made a mistake, fortunately I can still use my phone but i'm in unfamiliar territory.
What I did was download the 4.3 Rom by RomAur, installed the rom and the recovery as per the instructions within the thread, then rebooted to flashmode and entered flashtool so I could flash the kernel and baseband from 290, but made the mistake of excluding kernel and baseband and flashing the only other option which was BOOTBUNDLE, and since then my recovery has been inaccessible.
I've reflashed the dual recovery but it won't allow me to access it via the power on up or down method or the adb reboot recovery method.
I really can't continue with this phone or flash anything without a working recovery, does anyone have any idea how to get my recovery back please??
Any help would be appreciated.
I'm also wanting to unlock the bootloader but without a working recovery i'm a little hesitant to begin.
Phone: Sony Z1 C6903
Rom: RomAur v4.0
Bootloader status: Locked

Flash the kernel and baseband from 290 in flashtool then.

Well i've gone and downgraded but used an unbranded ftf, which has now taken over my IMEI, which now reads 0000000000000000.
In a bad way here and stuck in work with limited internet, i'm now back on a 534 rom and feel like smashing this thing up.
Going home soon so will sit down and go through it all again from scratch, wish i'd just left it on my old monx rom now.
Bad times.
Any other ideas Greg ? Or anyone else?

just upgrade back, I believe you get your IMEI back that way..
The problem you are having is that you need unlocked boot to get a properly working recovery and root on 4.3

Ah i see, well i'm downloading an ftf which is t-mobile 534, it's the closest thing i could get to EE, as at the moment i have no recovery and no root.
So should i do this in this order.
get this tmobile 534 and re root and get recovery, i imagine at this point my IMEI will still be missing (hopefully not) then what would you do?
Update to 4.3 by using one of those roms? and then unlock the bootloader? As thats where I ended up losing recovery, i'm thinking thats maybe down to me flashing boot bundle instead of kernel and baseband through flash tool.
Also doesn't unlocking the bootloader require system rw access?
And thanks by the way Greg, i appreciate your help.

Same thing happened to me. So I flashed Nordic 4.3 kept my data booted then flashed the kernel that comes with twrp. So far everything is great

1) Update to 4.3 using a FTF of your choice.
2) Unlock bootloader (This will wipe system and internal memory so have a backup of internal sdcard)
3) Flash any of the three kernels from the top of this post, I am using the third one with philz recovery.
4) enter recovery and flash the SuperSU.zip found in that same post.
Done.
You do not need root to unlock bootloader. The kernels have the recovery incorporated into them

How do you flash a rom without a recovery though? sideload? Not sure, but nevermind, i ended up doing what i said i was going to do and now i'm back online and have re rooted but still on 4.2, will probably stay on 4.2 until 4.3 is 100%
Not being able to use things was too much of a pain in the arse.
Cheers by the way m8

Ahh that sounds simple enough, cheers m8, well i'll maybe give that a whirl as i'm at home and obviously my internal has been wiped anyway, got a back up in work so i'm running on minimum until i go back there.
While i'm in this state i may as well give it a go.
Cheers Greg, will let you know here if it worked out.

Well i've not attempted the unlock because after following the instructions it says in my phone that my bootloader cannot be unlocked.
I downloaded a vodafone UK ftf if that makes any difference, i got my phone from EE.
I noticed that you said to someone that they couldn't unlock the bootloader if it said that? Is there no way around it?

Is there any solid data on how/why some Z1s cannot be bootloader unlocked? I have a C6906 from Overseas Electronics which I think was sourced from Canda and cannot be BL unlocked, though it's sim unlocked and otherwise works fine on AT&T LTE.
I found a thread/post here mentioning that Sony may be able to "fix" these devices (and possibly for free, at that). I'm going to run down that angle, but if there's any technical data on what could be preventing the BL unlock I'd be very interested in doing some legwork on my own.

Not too sure mate, think its coded not to be unlockable, in which case someone would have to do quite a bit of digging to undo whatever was done. And seeing as that the vast majority of people knew to buy from a source that doesn't have the NO to unlocking the BL I would say that its not going to happen any time soon. I usually do a bit of digging before I buy a phone, rushed into this one and I'm paying for it now.
I'll check out that link you put up, maybe there's hope yet.
Edit: as for the link you put up, that's just for the sim lock.
If you want an unlockable phone then you'll either have to claim from a 3rd party insurer an hope that they give you an unlocked phone or contact Sony for an RMA and hope that they give you one. Otherwise I can't see it.
But in all fairness your missing custom kernels and aosp type ROMs. Most everything else will work fine, including all (well most) the ROMs that are in the android development section, so that's not a total loss by any means.
When roots fixed completely for 4.3, well see more.

[Q] Howto gain root with Linux?

Hi,
I'm looking forward to getting my Z1 tomorrow, and being used to having root on my device (ever since I jailbroke my iPhone 3GS) I'd like to get it here as well.
After a bit of reading I got the impression it's rather difficult compared to my previous phone - at least when I'm not having access to a windows computer.
So far I found that Flashtool will be able to unlock my bootloader - but will that be enough to flash SuperSU.zip in order to gain root?
Or is there some other way I overlooked so far? Please help an Xperia noob to make the first steps safely
I appreciate all advice, links, ...

Unlocking your bootloader alone then thats a no,
next you need to flash a custom kernel that contains a recovery
(sony xperias dont have a recovery partition)
once that is done use the recovery menu to flash a superuser or superSu zip
then you are rooted,
take note that custom kernels can only be flashed with a unlocked bootloader (UBL For short)
and also note that there are tools to root but depend on exploits and firmware version
This method of rooting is garenteed because this method doesnt depend on fw version or avaliblw exploits
some misc info
Flashable zips simply execute a script when flashed (often copying files (superuser or supersu copy the app and the SU binary to your system)
yes you need flashtool (not Emma not from sony either)
if you want me to guide you through then just reply

Hi,
great to hear, and thank you for that warm welcome to help me become familiar with the device
OK, so Flashtool needs to detect the device, then I can use it to unlock the device. I noticed DooMkernel to be rather extensive in its features, so I think I'll give that one a go.
Does unlocking the bootloader void guarantee? Or flashing a custom kernel or ROM?
What the heck is Emma?

Yes any sort of modifying will void your garentee or warrenty
and yes
download flashtool (i think links can be found on Doomlords posts)
plug in your Device
click on Bootloader unlock
and folow what it tells you
(to get your iemi code you can type *#06#* in the dialer or go to settings then about then status (it may be there)
and emma is Sony's useless flashtool (to me and you)
(you want the flashtool devloped by bin4ry , doomlord and someone else (cant spell their name)
also side note
i recomend DoomKernel,
DoomLord is a master in Xperia Devices and is very good at coding, his kernels are allways the safest to run
also some other notes make sure his kernel fw version is the same as on your z1 and also make sure that the drivers are installed for your z1
googling can help you here

i knew i was forgetting something
For OP
notes:
TA partition contains DRM keys
bravia engine and x-reality depend on your (unique) drm keys
also if your not on 4.3 it will break your camera (if you unlock your bootloader)
you can relock and restore your drm keys if you back them up

Downgraded, rooted, now want to install.... quick question.

Hi, thanks for reading,
Ok so my 6903 z1, i've downgraded it to .534, rooted it, installed dualrecovery and am sitting here wondering where to go next.
I wouldn't mind unlocking the bootloader so that I could install other kernels such as pimped kernel. But reading the dualrecovery thread it seems that it is only if you are using the original kernel. So my main question is, what should i do next?
use recovery to flash a zip of a new rom then unlock bootloader then flash a supported recovery?
or should i unlock bootloader now and then new rom etc? (was concerned about the camera issue unlocking the bootloader on <4.3 roms.... will it be "fixed" if i was running on a newer "flashed via recovery" ROM?)
any help is appreciated as I don't want to bugger up the phone like i somehow managed to last time i tried all this (had the IMEI disappearing issue)

If you want to unlock the boot, there is was no need to downgrade to root
Just backup your TA, unlock the boot, flash a custom kernel of your choice then flash away

oh ok. well i've done it now. although I've just checked my service menu
First, you should confirm that it is possible to unlock the boot loader of your phone by checking the service menu. In your phone, open the dialler and enter *#*#7378423#*#* to access the service menu.
In your phone, tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you can continue with the next step. If it says No, or if the status is missing, your device cannot be unlocked.

and it says bootloader unlock allowed: No

If that it saying then no way around to unlock your bootloader. BTW, stock kernel isn't that bad and with root you will be able to customize your room and get some tweeks.

so if i cannot unlock bootloader, does that mean i wont be able to use custom roms like Paranoid android etc which run off of CM and presumably a CM kernel?

and is it worth trying to unlock the bootloader in flashtool anyway just to see?
What options/next steps do i have then if i cant flash a custom rom due to not being able to use a different kernel?
Guess i can flash a modified stock rom and thats about it?

I thought the romaur rom Was based on stock. Ho hum. Installed the pure stock one and it was OK thanks.

In Android developement thread all roms are based on stock - in original Android developement they are based on pure android.
Bootlooping is mostly caused when flashing wrong bootbundle/kernel.

NO. You can't unlock your bootloader if 'unlock bootloader allowed = no'
Since you cannot unlock bootloader, therefore you cannot flash custom ROM on your phone.
Rooting phone do not always need bootloader to be unlocked. There will be some ways available to root your phone with LB.
Also there will be some ROMs available that can be flashed over LB. But they'll be based on stock and will not have more features rather than stock features.
You just need to search here on XDA
I suggest you not to flash any ROM on LB. You'll eventually get bootloops and maybe hard brick.

Nope! As much as I know, you cannot change status from 'no to yes' rather than changing your motherboard to do so. It'll cost you more than you buyed it.
It is related to TA Partition. And EVERY phone has its unique TA. So no one can change its status. Flashing other phones TA to your phone will brick your device.

In such case you need to roll back to your previous android version. I don't think you could unlock your bootloader. But if you are telling it was 'yes' before, then you should try.
No matter your phone works with every sim or not. TA Partition contains DRM keys as well as many other things related to network, warranty, services which get erased after unlocking bootloader.

Yes you can flash any stock ROM through flashtool. You just need to download appropriate firmware (.ftf)
Even you could update your phone through PC Companion. The latest version is 5.1.1 Available.
BTW why are you trying to flash stock ROM? Are you using any custom ROM already?

You mean bootscreen, right?
Just because of bootscreen are you going to change the entire ROM?
You could change bootscreen manually. Your phone just need to be rooted to do so. To root your phone use kingroot app. If your lucky enough, your phone will be rooted.
There are tons of bootscreens available. Just pick one and place it in /system/media (don't forget to backup old one) with -rw--r--r permissions and Bingo! You have changed your bootscreen.

tnxxxxxxx my dear tnx for your great help and give me your time

How can i do root to the same phone
How can i do root to the same phone wite same state

no. You can't unlock your bootloader if 'unlock bootloader allowed = no'
since you cannot unlock bootloader, therefore you cannot flash custom rom on your phone.
Rooting phone do not always need bootloader to be unlocked. There will be some ways available to root your phone with lb.
Also there will be some roms available that can be flashed over lb. But they'll be based on stock and will not have more features rather than stock features.
You just need to search here on xda
i suggest you not to flash any rom on lb. You'll eventually get bootloops and maybe hard brick.

Try the same app several times. It usually does not succeed in first attempt. It you fail each time, try kingo root with windows software.

Dude, your on latest android version. There isn't any exploit available to root ver 5.1.1
You either need to wait until anyone makes an exploit for your phone or you need downgrade your phone and root it.
There is a pre-rooted firmware available for lollipop But it works only if phone has 5.0.2 .
Unfortunately your phone has 5.1.1 that means you still need to downgrade your phone and flash pre-rooted 5.1.1
Also, your bootloader can't be unlocked. So you need to flash ROM accordingly. Don't ever flash ROM that are meant for unlocked bootloader.

when someone makes an exploit for my phone and root 5.1.1 . i steel need to unlock the boot loader ?
