Now go to the place where the Flashtool is installed and launch it.
  2. Click on Thunder; this is a symbol you will find in the tool’s top left section. Choose Flashmode, opt for OK, then end it all by clicking on “…” when you see a popup with a firmware selection option on the touchscreen.

  4. Step four will tell you to wait for the update to begin; which will happen as soon as you spot a Blue LED Glow on the handset. After few minutes have passed, the firmware will have been updated on your Xperia T LT30p at long last.
