Hi everyone
My Xperia J brought Android 4.0.4 with 11.0.A.7.8 . "Bootloader unlock allowed: No" and locked to Vodafone PT.
I rooted with success. I do not need to unlock the bootloader, rooted is enough (titanium backup and uninstall some operator garbage).
Update center is requesting autorization to install 11.2.A.0.21 . After a fast googlification i read about complains with 4.1.2 on Xperia J.
There is any satisfied/not satisfied owner os this smartphone and 4.1.2? It is easy to root 4.1.2?
Many thanks and a cold beer : )

Yes, my phone is faster with Jelly Bean than with ICS.
I rooted 4.1.2 following this steps :
1- I was in 11.0.A.7.8 branded Vodafone;
2- Flashed 11.0.A.7.5 CE (unbranded) with flastool without wipping data;
3- Rooted with UnlockRoot;
4- Update over the air to 11.2.A.0.21;
5- Reinstalled Superuser from the Play Store.

Well I can tell you that Jelly Bean ( the 11.2.A.0.21 ) is actually better. The lag is almost gone( not completely gone, the J seems to lag but when that does just lock the screen and wait for a few moments- 1-2 mins max- and then the lag will go away). The main issue with the ICS version is that the lagg appears and you have to restart the J in order to get rid if it. With Jelly Bean the lagg goes away easier. Games also work nicely with Jelly Bean ( I've tried Subway surfer with ICS and it lagged when the surfer dude started to run fast but now with Jelly Bean that problem is almost gone... the lag goes away very fast).
The main issue that I have with the new update is the free RAM. Right now I can only sustain about 90mb of free Ram as with the ICS I had about 140-120mb free, sometimes even 170. So that is the biggest problem for me .
As for rooting the previous post works just fine if you have OTA update. But since PC companion tells you about the new update I guess you have OTA update.
So from my experience Jelly Bean does work a little smother then ICS and the lag( even though the lag appears somewhat faster than with ICS, it goes away a lot faster).
I would recommend you to upgrade to Jelly Bean.

But it is possible to flash other roms with bootloader locked? There is any link here in forum?

Unfortunately no. That is if you would like to flash Custom ROM's.
If you want to flash a stock Rom you will be able to ( for example I flashed Jelly Bean on to my Xperia J and I have a locked bootloader).
If you want to flash a custom Rom ( let's take for instance CynamogenMod ) you won't be able to because that requires you to also flash a special Kernel and that can not be done with a locked bootloader.
I'm in the exact situation that you are... locked bootloader and impossible to unlock....
Soooo ... rooted mobile with unlockroot pro (free) , them updated OTA to 4.12 and the root survived muuuhahahahahaha
Many thanks to all who helped me. free cold beer
I clean up all those useless aplications (sony and Vdf) and i'm 100% satisfied, i do not need to change ROM. Maybe in the future i'll need to do that trick to enable Link2SD to mode applications to memory card instead of internal storage.

Hi All,
I have been a samsung user from the last 2 years and quiet familiar with rooting, custom Roms and flashing, recently i got a samsung xperia E (Single Sim) and using the official sony boot unlocking method tried unlocking but sadly after the whole process went smooth i ended up in boot loops.
Can anybody help me as to how do i review the phone back or go back to stock rom again? Unlike samsung where we only have Odin and Sammobile for all firmware in sony there are so many different version of flashtools floating around and i can't seem to find a stock Xperia E firmware.
Can anybody be kind and post links to the tools required for flashing and the site where i can get a custom rom if any or stock roms to get the phone working back.
You can try sony emma. Its still beta, but some people say xperia e firmware is in there. You did unlock bootloader from sony, so it should return the phone to unrooted, but unlocked phone. As for flashtool ftf, if you can remember what version it was, you can try search google. Most important, charge the battery by other way (another phone, clip-based battery charger)
Sony Xperia Tipo ST21i
Hello,
Did you get your phone working again? If yes how did you do so? I wondering this because i have the same problem as you and I installed the firefox via emma but there was no original update available.

I've been a Samsung user the last years too, and i just got my brand new Xperia E. I was following Sony's guide on how to unlock the bootloader, and I had the same problem you are talking about. I found out, after unlocking the bootloader you have to flash a ftf file (at least, that has solved the problem in my case).
I turned it off by taking away the battery (I had to) and then used flashtool (google it) for flashing the new ftf file. I followed Vasudev99 's tutorial (thanks, by the way). I'll give you the link, in which you can find all files you need and all steps you have to follow.

Just type that code said at Sony,
If service menu says bootloader unlock allowed:yes....it is still locked...and actually,pc if pc companion worked,,,your bl is still locked..
Thank me if I helped you...
Hi
I'm not going to lie but I am pretty new to this. I wanted to upgrade my xperia tipo from 4.0.4 to 4.1.2 and have researched and read about how to do it. I read that apparently the phone cannot be rooted with the firmware 11.0.A.22 so it had to be flashed to 11.0.A.16 and then can be rooted. I did this successfully and kept a backup. Then I read that a phone cannot be rooted without bootunlock and tried to do this but it said my phone root ( or lock) access was no.
*Q1. Does this mean I cannot root the phone at all?
*Q2. Also would I be able to get it unlocked from a shop perhaps?
So as I cant root it yet at least I wanted to return my firmware to 11.0.A.22 but flash tool wont let me:

24/016/2013 22:16:57 - INFO - Device connected in flash mode
*Q3. Can someone help me and answer my questions please! Would love to have an upgraded tipo as all other sony phones are a bit expensive! At least until payday!
*But my last question is, is it even worth upgrading it from 4.0.4 to 4.1.2?
Thankyou :good:
Not worth voiding your warranty. Just use rom for locked bootloader. You can still root on .22. Have you tried pc companion - repair? Unlock from shop with unlock: no? Tricky, but there is no testpoint method yet for tipo. For me, 4.1.2 is great if it comes directly from sony official update, as long as my HD games run as fast as the old ics v27/v22.

How to root already updated fiemware
Hi,
I am very new to this forum.I want root my xperia j , th problem is i have already updated my firmware to 11.2.a.0.31 ... 4.1.2 jelly bean.
Now i want to root it. I searched the forum didnt get any satisfiable walkthrough. please help me.Do i have to downgrade to ICS.
Maybe not. Have you tried srs root? It works on a brand new c1605 e dual with jellybean update, the 11.3.a.2.1. If not working, you may have to get the ics .ftf files.

1) You cannot flash CM10.1 on your device, only CM10. We will NOT get an official port of the ROM from the FXP team.
2) I do not know, once it is unlocked to any network you shouldn't have a lock put in place again. However I am unsure of this.
3) You shouldn't lose any language support on your device as many language packs are installed with the base of the ROM as most are built from stock firmware upwards.
I would give more detailed instructions but I need to go within the next 5 mins so I can't. I will edit my post tomorrow if nobody beats me to it.
Hi, wanting to update Xperia J to latest jelly bean official by Sony. Haven't rooted or unlocked bootloader phone says latest software updates already installed but I'm running Android 4.0.4. Tried PC Companion still says its latest when it isn't. Not wanting to use Sony update service as it will wipe all my photos and data. Don't want to go through all the hassle of backing up and restoring. Not wanting to root either. Please can someone help.
The only other way is flashtool but a data wipe would be highly recommended. or just stick with ICS
[Q] rooted>unlocked bootloader>installed Custom Rom> back to original rom>guarantee?
I bought the sony xperia Z a year ago. I didnot like the Sony version of android so I rooted the phone, unlocked the bootloader and installed AOKP and afterwards cyanogenmod. After one year I thought of moving back to sony's android version and installed it with sony flash tool. Now my Smartphone's bootloader is locked and it is not rooted.
Now I have speaker problem with my phone. I had the guarantee for 2 years, so I still have time. But will I still get the guarantee and get repaired for free.
Well the bootloader is relocked and its unroofed and has a pure stock firmware so it should be repairable. Just send it in and see where it goes.
All the best

Nope, your guarantee is broken.
Today I got my mobile back. They send back my mobile back. They said my guarantee is broken because I donot have original android ROM installed. I used the flashtool to install the original Android but they knew it, I did something with my mobile. :crying:

Well that's what you call bad luck, Anyway can you still retry to send it back? Or did the register all the devices sended to them.
First : Is your bootloader locked again? and did you fully unroot it instead of temp unroot?
Second : Is it the stock rom and not a rom that looks like a stock rom? Like a tweaked one.
