If you're a newbie and don't know what to do to get your phone updated, here are the simple steps you should take:
Preparation:
- Install PC Companion which can be found on Sony websites.
- You are strongly advised to backup your data such as contacts, messages, bookmarks using PC Companion or apps (e.g My backup).
- Install Flash tool (Link here) and follow the instruction on that site.
- Download FTF file for the JB rom using either link below:
* http://josenoguera.es/ftf/LT29i_9.1.B.0.411_Global.ftf (thanks to hejosetree for the source file)
* http://www.4shared.com/file/_MCaxajs/lt29i_91b0411_global.html (a mirror by me)
* http://www.fshare.vn/file/T1ZRSD1QCT (Vietnamese host mirror by me)
Make sure your phone has at least 50%+ battery to avoid unexpected errors
Installation:
A. If the PC Companion on you PC can detect new firmware, you should let it update the phone for you.
B. If it doesn't detect any new firmware, you can use Flash tool (flash the FTF file you had downloaded)
Note: After the install, many people have reported that when you reboot the phone, it will appear a white triangle icon. Don't worry, just leave it be with power cord on, it will settle itself.
Rooting:
Go here and download the "Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v25" (remember to thank Bin4ry)
How-To:
1.) Download attached file.
2.) Extract it using 7zip
3.) Connect your device then Double click the RunMe.bat and follow instructions!
When asked which mode you want to use, choose Mode 3 (Goroh_kun mode)
4.) Choose superuser instead of supersu since it is reported that there's a problem with it.
Your phone screen will probably stays white for a long time (some phone will advance without this problem), just simply press the back button and check if it's already root.
Note: To fix NFC bug, use any Root file manager (e.g Root explorer, ES file explorer) to delete a folder name "usf" (located in /data/). Thanks to goroh_kun.
Done.
Installing CWM:
You then need to install CWM in order to flash those useful Mods out there.
Go here and follow instructions
Now you're reeeeeady!
Added mods:
- Since the stock notification bar is very ugly, you can use this mod to make it more handy:
Visit [PORT][T, TL, TX,V][JB] SO-02 DoCoMo Status Bar v3 & Task Switcher [27/03]
task switcher will not display small apps, please make a back up of systemui.apk, systemui.odex, TaskSwitcher.apk in order to revert the mod.
Also, these 2 mods are tested on TX by me and are compatible
[Theme/skin] PhoneBook and SemcPhone dialer v1.2 [updated 27/3/13]
MOD][T,TL,TX,V][JB] Sony Home Launcher Black Edition [27/03]
Not compatible at the moment:
