Trying To Root Sony XperiaT V4.1.2 - General Topics

Hi Guys,
I'm trying to root my Sony Xperia T LT30p that is on android v4.1.2 Build 9.1.A.0.489 using the Root with Restore by Bin4ry and seem to be getting the following message:
Error: Activity class {com.sonyericsson.vendor.backuprestore/com.sonyericsson.vendor.backuprestore.ui.BackupActivity} does not exist.
Have the phone connected in debugging mode correctly and the phone's bootloader has been unlocked.
Any help would be fantastic thanks
More info:
Phone is in USB debugging more, unknown sources checked and also stock O/S.
Also have the Sony PC companion and the update service installed if this helps.
After some more investigating, there is a backup names rootme but when trying to restore it, it does nothing

[Q] cwm 6.1 for tipo is out, can I use it with my german tipo?

cwm 6.1 for tipo is out. See >>HERE<<
Well, I am unshure to use it.
Will it brick my phone?
My Sony Xperia Tipo is german from Telekom.
- bootloader is locked
- firmware is 11.0.A.0.16
- rooted
Does a locked bootloader block installing CWM or cause trouble in any way?
Are there german users out there who have succesfully installed the mentioned CWM already?

If you're rooted already, you're good to go.I suggest flashing 4.22 though, it is really noticeably better in performance.You can root that with UnlockRoot, and install CWM/TWRP afterwards, whichever you'd like.

Good news. Thank you for your encouraging answer.
As I have so far noticed documentation on this forum, in the case of error doing recover attempts are made with windows software.
I am running linux, if windows is nescessary, does recover software work at a virtual machine running Windows XP with USB piped through? Or is there even linux software to manage that?
And, can you advise a good location I can read and follow instructions in the case of CWM installation problems?
Please excuse my nooby questions, my fone is the very first and only one I could afford and I have no experience so far.
I'd like to prepare as much as I can to avoid having a bricked device asking questions at a lost situation.
Cwm is fine for you take care while flashing a rom though it can cause a mess but dont worry I have been messed up before I got my tipo back running in 17 minuts
I got sollution very quickly and stepwise you are not a noob but I am so just sharing my xperience????

It's hardly brickable by root procedures, the only thing you could've run into was not getting the files copied to system, but since you're rooted you don't have any probs.Just DL the zip from the CWM thread, extract the files in some folder, connect phone with usb debugging on, and double click the start.bat
it will tell you when it's done, you can press any key to continue.at this point, disconnect the phone from the USB cable, power off, then start it up and tap volume down at the Sony logo.

Success!!!
Thank you so much, tusharkulkarni008 and Steam.
There were no errors at all, though I had to fetch an adb executable first which I checked working with "adb shell".
I successfull opened cwm and did my very first full system and data backup!
Splendid, now I am able to do more exciting things with my fone!
So, I learned, installing CWM is nothing but copying files to system partition. It does not depend on an unlocked bootloader, it just needs a rooted fone.
unlocked BL is only required for flashing a custom kernel, which is required for most custom roms around here, they are all based on FXP release,CM10.

[Q] Unbrick Phone (Unfortunately, Settings has Stopped)

Is there any chance I can unbrick my LG Realm aka LS620. I rooted the phone with Kingroot and then deleted some Bloatware. Doing that I must have done
something to some vital system apps. Now my situation is as follows:
-cannot access any system settings(error message: Unfortunately, Settings has stopped)
-other apps like Contacts, Messaging, Gallery, E-mail give me the error message: Unfortunately, 'Appname' has stopped.
-phone still boots up
-since I cannot access Settings I can NOT enable "USB Debugging" or "Unknown Sources"
-since I cannot enable those, I cannot connect to a PC to use adb to sideload apks or install non Google Play Store apks like Towelroot
-I still can put the phone in "Download Mode"
-I performed a factory reset which did not fix the problem, actually it made it worse since the phone is not rooted anymore, as verified with Root Check
I tried to flash the phone using kdz and tot/dll files for the LG L70 which is a very similar phone but that gives me only errors. I cannot find the
firmware for the LS620 anywhere as apparently a lot of other people can't. I spent now more than 2 unsuccessful weeks on the internet trying to find a fix
for my problem. My thinking is that if I somehow could install Towelroot by maybe tricking the phone to thinks it is a genuine goole play store apk I could
then trie to root the phone again and re-install the Settings system apk.
At this point I am out of my wits, but I refuse to believe there is no solution. There are a lot of smart people out there and on this forum, the answer
must lurk somewhere. The simplest of course would be to find the firmware for the LS620. So, if you can help please respond and let me know. My apologies
for this rather lengthy post.
Thanks,
Joe
hey
it sounds like you are stuck but let me get some info together and I will try and help you out

Yeah,
I knew this site. But before you can download anything you must register which I tried but was unsuccessful to do. Not all the Chinese text on the site is translated with Bing translator and becomes is kind of confusing. I could not find any reference to a firmware file in the link you posted. But thanks anyway for responding. --Joe

[Completed] problem with KingTopKT07

Hi,
i have a problem with a china tablet, Kingtopkt07..
I already tried to restore from the tablet but didn't change a thing.
The original issue was an error message with google play services, it says my device is incompatible.
so i tought i should reinstall it, but when i do it says that my actual version is incorectly signed, and to try to uninstall it first.
ofcourse i need to root the tablet to uninstall it.
so i tried framaroot, but it didn't work.. it says it does but root checker shows negative resoults.
other root metods brequire a pc.. so i tried connecting the tablet to the pc, but i get a nasty usb error in device manager..
can you help me to fix this? or maybe, to find a custom rom for the device..

I'm sorry, but there is no current development for your device on XDA. You can post your question in one of the following threads, and possibly one of the experts can help you:
