Introducing

STOCK ROOTED 7.0.A.3.195
[LT30p][Unlocked and Locked Bootloaders]


No claims, no nonsense, this is just a rom for people who want a stock rom as is from SONY except with root and want a trusted source.
I hesitate to call it development. [MOD's, if you think it should be moved, feel free] Its just something I did and thought I should share​
Feedback is actively encouraged​

Features
  • Based on [STOCK FIRMWARE][LT30p][UK Generic][7.0.A.3.195]
  • Rooted
  • No superuser app is included, as superuser apps are not stock. You can download your choice of superuser.apk or SuperSU.apk from the market.
Full changelog in post 2, will be empty because thats it! It also means I have not added a super user app, because stock rom does not come with one and you have a choice of super user apps to download from the market.

Installation for Unlocked Bootloader

  • Make a backup- Always backup just in case you ****up
  • Flash my kernel from here or advanced stock kernel found here Credit lzyllp (This is to get Recovery and root. Also, the kernel has a lot of tweaks. Choose either T or TX depending on your phone.)
  • Enter recovery
  • Factory reset
  • Flash rom.

Installation for Locked Bootloader

  • Use flashtool to flash any generic 7.0.A.1.303 ftf.
  • Root using Bin4ry's method.
  • Install CMW for locked bootloaders
  • Enter recovery, factory reset and flash the ROM. Then flash the flashable version of CMW recovery for locked bootloaders before you reboot.
  • FIX FOR BOOTLOOP WITH EXTENDED BATTERY MODE. Flash this in flashtool to update your kernel to stock 7.0.A.3.195 Stock kernel
    [All the tools and links can be found from the all in one thread here]

Optional Installation Step

Hi. I flash your rom and enter in home screens, but when i try flash kernel .195 with flashtool, semc flash device drivers don't install and flash not start. I install any drivers from folder drivers on flashtool, but same error. What drivers files are needed to flash this kernel? :confused:

I know, but in step to flash rom with locked bootloader, you say flash .195 kernel.
I remember in arc thread, when need to root em, we need downgrade kernel, root and after that, flash .587.
I am on locked bootloader. If this rom is with .195 kenel, i don't need flash another. I know this.

ok, i see. You are flashing a stock kernel. Then it should be an .ftf file .

Can you flash anything in flash tool? If so you should be bale to flash a stock kernel ftf.
Make sure you are doing it in flashmode

Yes, i flash old .303 ftf with flashtool before 4-5 days.
I connect device in flashmode, green led light, but when window7 notify me to install flash driver and i confirm, windows don't install any flash driver.


PS. Need em i from this kernel or this kernel/.195/ install when i flash on your rom?

uninstall flashtool and reboot and reinstall.

Makesure you are in mtp mode not msc.


also, drop the ftf into the open window first, then wait for the prompt screen to prompt you to connect in flashmode.

Yes, i am sure that i am in mtp not in msc mod and it is by default after install the rom.
But ok, tomorrow i will reinstall flashtool and all drivers, and tried again.
For now i will stay with old kernel and will see that pc companion recognize my device to device that have new update.
But nevermind, tomorrow i tried fresh install of all and post here result. :)

yes, and actually try to flash something before you enter flashmode...drop the ftf file into flashtool then enter flashtool when it prompts you

Hello Sir, I have a question regarding root.

Is it possible to make root this way:
(locked bootloader)

1) Latest firmware .195 (no root).
2) Flash down to .303 kernel+loader.sin with flashtool (from a ftf)
3) Make root with Bin4ary
4) Flash the .195 kernel+loader.sin with flashtools (from a ftf)
5) Ready?

I am new here on this forum, before I was Arc-boy. :D

I dont think so, I think you need to flash the whole 303 firmware. There are plenty of guides in the general section and none of them involve just flashing the kernel.
