Hello people,
I am a newbie here, and I would like to root my Sony xperia T build 9.1.A,1,140
I have tried bin4try rooting system and it all went through fine, but after starting the phone I downloaded rooting checker and it said that my device was not rooted. This was also confirmed when trying to use lucky patcher. I did have however the SuperSU app installed.
Then I withrew that root just in case from the removal option, and tried to do it through the DoomLord method. Whilst installing it said that my device was not supported. Since then I have been reading and trying to figure out how to upgrade my build version to 141 in order to root it through DoomLord method, and I have the boot.img from the stock .141 kernel. I am just a bit confused and don't know how to play it safer.
Also, I have tried installing the CWM but since I don't have a rooted phone it didnt let me install. I now have a stock Xperia T with android JB 4.1.2 build 9.1.A.1.140 and would really like your help to see what I can do.
I will now head to bed, as my brain hurts from so much information, I hope to get this sorted soon.
Thanks a lot to you all for your time and effort!
Sincerely,
Jose
UPDATE
I forgot to mention that I tried to install CWM but it didn't let me because the phone was not rooted. Also there is apparently no way to unlock my bootloader.
This morning I donwloaded the 141 tft file, a polish version, and decided to flash it into my phone. After flashing and starting the phone, the sony wave colour thing did several loops for about a minute or two. The the phone started as usual and everything works fine except for internet data.
AT THIS POINT
I do not know where to proceed, I go in mind to now try rooting my phone through Doom's method but I am afraid that maybe I can screw it up more or root it but still have no mobile data which would be almost useless to me.
Please I would really appreciate the help of anyone.
THANKS!

from what i understand you can't flash a custom kernel unless ur bootloader is unlocked!! You may have to flash an appropriate firmware with flashtool that is rootable and then try to protect root and then try a fota but don't use seus or pc companion!! Someone correct me if i'm wrong!!
Hi everybody... I have purchased Xperia Z1 Compact few day ago and this is my first ever experience with any SONY SMARTPHONE device in this Android era. Before this I had Galaxy SIII and I learnt how to Root, Flash, Custom OS, and Reseting Counter on my own through different sources youtube videos. But regarding my sony xperia z1 compact device, I have been searching for the last 3 consecutive days on how to ROOT and get CWM on my device but all i get in return is total crap. I know about the official Sony Way of Unblocking the bootloader but then again I dont want SONY to know that I tinkered around with their device in the form of Unblocking and/or Rooting. There is 1 website which demonstrate how to UNLOCK BOOTLOADER in 2 different ways. 1- Official. 2-Unofficial. The unofficial way is very easy through FLASHTOOL but my device is running 4.4.2 kitkat and yesterday I upgraded to even more latest 4.4.2 build number 14.3.A.0.757. I think flashtool is not yet compatible with the 4.4.2 line for UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER in UNOFFICIAL WAY. When i recieved my device it was running on Android 4.3. So please kindly tell me how I can UNLOCK the BOOTLOADER in unofficial way and also root the device. I dont want any suggestions regarding OFFICIAL WAY UNLOCKING.
Oh yes one more thing. If i want my regional dedicated Android FTF file, from where I can get one. My location is SAUDI ARABIA.
Samsung phones have the best solution for providing regional dedicated OS files through samfirm ware, but about sony I have no clue.
Kindly help..... Thanks to all in advance. Waiting eagerly. I want to restore my apps and data which run on ROOTED device.
Regards.:good:

I was just wondering why you didn't want Sony to know that you unlocked your bootloader? If it's a warranty concern then when you send it back just relock the bootloader. I did that with my XPERIA Z when I needed to get it repaired and there was no problems at all.
You mentioned you want to restore your apps that need to run on rooted devices... You only need to unlock the bootloader IF you want to use a custom kernel. For example if you want to use DoomLords kernel then you need to have your bootloader unlocked or if you want to flash CyanogenMod ROM to your phone you need to unlock your bootloader (because it flashes a custom kernel to your phone as well)
If you ONLY want to use apps that need root then I suggest you follow this guide which has worked for me:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2634196
About region FTF's, the ONLY difference as far as I know are the apps that come bundled with it. I've flashed many FTF's from many countries and the only difference between them is the bundled apps.

Oh really? and how will I relock the bootloader then as I dont know the whole process..... and you mean I just need the ROOT access for my apps and not the UNLOCKING OF THE BOOTLOADER in order for the ROOT ACCESS to work... But many websites and tutorials were saying that you must first have to UNLOCK the BOOTLOADER.... and also how can I be so sure that different region TFT will work on my phone. I once saw RUSSIAN 4.1.2 on GALAXY S3 in my friend's phone and it was working fine except we didn't know RUSSIAN LANGUAGE.
So can you please guide me all the way on ROOTING and then also RELOCKING the BOOTLOADER.
Many thanks.

What are these files? Do I have to download all of them? I mean these are 2 different TFT files? What's the scope of having two?
There is no mentioning what should I have to do? What key combination do I have to make and which mode do I have to enter for FLASHING like FASTBOOT mode or FLASHING MODE?
No nothing blatantly explained. Not Noob Friendly. If you can guide me through these mysterious Steps. It'll be helpful...
And also do tell what version will this TFT be? 4.3 or 4.2.2 or what? is it compatible with Xperia Z1 Compact????

Yeah you JUST need root access, there is no need to unlock the bootloader for root access. You definitely do not need to unlock the bootloader. I don't want to unlock the bootloader because on my old XPERIA device when I unlocked the bootloader I lost BRAVIA engine.
Yeah, the default language might be different but when you start your XPERIA for the first time it will ask you what language you want. From this menu you can pick English, Arabic etc...
If you don't want to flash custom ROMs then you don't need to unlock the bootloader. If you just need root access then just follow this article (It'll teach you EVERYTHING you need to know):

I was going along the step by step procedure, everything was smooth but when I reached STEP 14 things gone strange. Now the cmd prompt option 3 was taking time and i closed the command prompt. Now i have tried 2 times more the same step but nothing happening except the same blinking cursor without any notification/message. I tried going to FLASHMODE but FLASHTOOL is accepting it as USB DEBUGGING DEVICE (NON FLASHMODE).... What should I do now?

Please i need your help, i wanted to root my xperia z1 compact (Easy Root Tool for various Xperia devices) but when I finished all the steps (i got an error while wiping System) the phone didn’t start. and it keeps rebooting.
I don’t know what to do, please help me to solve this problem.
thanks a lot.
What fw version do you have? If keepsbrebooting you can use red button near Sim card to turn it off. By the way you dont need to wipe anything while rooting your phone flash stock fw 108 than use towelroot or newroot it takes 1 minute to root phone. If you have 157fw there are tutorials in z1c section excacly explaining how to root the latest firmware
I rooted my Sony Xperia Ultra T2 D5303 Version 4.4.3 19.1.1.A.0.165 using Kingoroot and realised I couldn't access one of my apps, now when I tried to unroot it using the Android Application, it does not respond at all and if I tried to unroot it through the desktop application it always gives a "Unroot Failed" message whenever it reaches 100%. How do I unroot the phone fully?
Sorry,kinda of a newbie here. Tell me if you need more details.
Download supersume on playstore, it will change your root manager to supersu and just unroot from supersu if you want
Repair your phone by Sony companion.. Or flashtool..
Or reroot your phone with kingroot then unroot..
I was having same problem..
Hello, I am a Vietnam so I was not very good at speaking English. I have 1 question is: I want to root android sony xperia M C1905. I used kingroot and framaroot but it is not terribly efficient, make phone hangs right boot.
