Those first rumors of the update being released turned out to be a hoax, but Sony seems to be working hard on bringing Jelly Bean to its Xperia T
flagship (and probably other smartphones too). The company just
released alpha version of the ROM to any one who can't wait any more.
To install the ROM you'll need an unlocked Xperia T, and you'll have
to unlock your boot loader and follow some instructions. Keep in mind
that according to Sony, unlocking a bootloader will prevent you from
getting the real update when it's released and is an irreversible
action.
The alpha version of the ROM is quite poor though and is recommended
only for developers. All connectivity services are NOT working as Sony
is still waiting for an approval from the authorities - GSM, Bluetooth,
Wi-Fi, NFC and FM radio are a no-go.
Also, the UI is not yet updated to the final Jelly Bean looks and the
Google Mobile Services are not pre-installed - so there are no Play
Store, Gmail, Google Maps, etc.).
Basically this ROM is impossible to use as a daily driver and only good for developers who need to test their apps.
