Hi Greg, your guide has been very useful a few times now so thanks,
I would like to know a little more about CM nightly roms, I have seen them mentioned but have no idea what or where they are, is it possible to pool some information here? I am thinking about opening a general thread for the FXP cm Rom but I am still a little new to this phone so am just waiting until I understand what I am talking about a little more!!!

Thanks for the thanks! Glad I helped
I dont think this is the place for that.
CM have their own site dedicated to changelog for CM roms and so do FXP team; that is the correct place for that. As for nightlies, it wouldnt be possible to keep up with that here. If you want to try and keep a thread going, be my guest, but as the fxp team say, they do not read non-dev threads so you may find yourself just asking people to read the dev thread and repoty bugs on the bugtracker anyway.
is it possible to create an ftf files of a custom rom for locked bootloader with your technic?
No, we cannot create .sin files inside the .ftf's files without the keys that Sony have.
ok and there no possibility to make anything in flash mode or install the recovery with LB
Not at the moment.
Custom kennels need an unlocked bootloader. Stock based rooms need a working recovery, and the only way to get recovery (at the moment) is via a custom kernel.

Probably not.
At the moment this forum is for the Xperia T/TX/TL
They are the same phone just for different regions and as such have slightly different setups so not all mods/roms from one will work on another, but essentially it is the same phone thats why xda will only give it one forum
Thanks. As long as it's confirmed anywhere that the TL is rootable, I can live with that.
Rootable so far. Hoping the next update doesn't break that like it did for the latest XT firmware.

It probably will as the only way to unlock the T on the new firmware is via unlocking the bootloader, so with the TL not being able to be unlocked it doesn't look good

This is a major advance in custom roms for the T, and its amazing how quick this has been managed for a new device. Congratulations to all the FXP and CM team.
Also, new stock .ftf's added for UK generic and more in the noob guide.

Considering how unlocking the bootloader is now the only available option for rooting your phone, I'd like to ask the following questions regarding unlocking:
1) Are there really DRM keys that are completely and irreversibly lost if you unlock the bootloader?
2) Would Sony-specific apps (eg. Walkman, Sony Select, TrackID, Timescape, etc) stop working if you unlock the bootloader?
1) Are there really DRM keys that are completely and irreversibly lost if you unlock the bootloader?
2) Would Sony-specific apps (eg. Walkman, Sony Select, TrackID, Timescape, etc) stop working if you unlock the bootloader?
1) Yes. Official unlock loses track id.
2) Walkman, sony select (AFAIK), and timescape still work. Not track ID
There are other ways to root, you can downgrade from 7.0.A.3.195 to 7.0.A.1.303 and root using bin4rys method. Then DO NOT upgrade.
If you want latest firmware you must unlock bootloader
1) Will using one of the relock-your-bootloader .FTFs restore functionality?
2) If not, is there a way to back up the DRM keys somehow?

I mean it wont work. Unlocking bootloader via official way means it wont work.
