If u don't relock bl don't forget to relock before sending back to Sony (your warranty will be voided) if not though, u may aswell leave it unlocked

Do a full flash first with flashtool and then install cwm and restore that cwm backup if you want I guess

I don't understand where is the problem, you are now on ICS, you can't just flash some .62 zip via CWM. By doing that you will only(most likely) replace system partition, other stuff like kernel, baseband, data will be left from ICS.
ThilinaC told you to do a full flash first. Meaning, first flash some GB ftf, then root, then CWM, and then you can flash that zip in CWM.

hm, my advise:
flash .42 ftf, root, CWM, flash that zip you linked, and then flash stock .62 kernel(you can flash stock even on locked BL, of course if you don't have SIM-lock, meaning if your fastboot is enabled)
or you can check this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468866
and get .62 via OTA update, after flashing .42.

Yes, you can, if you didn't unlocked your BL via official way.
Hello, i´ve had unlocked my bootloader (LWW), and now, i relocked it by SE Bootloader Unlocking v1.6, but now, the cel isn´t updated on pc companion, ota or seus... what´s happening? can someone help me?
Obs: when i type on my phone Dial *#*#7378423#*#* . Then go to -> "Service Info" -> "Configuration". say this:

Are you sure it is available for Brasil?
Otherwise flash it with flashtool (voids warranty, but sony shouldn't notice)
if you have cwm installed with locked bootloader, it really wont update
Hey guys,

Thanks in advance!

For sure, you can flash with SUS or PC Companion, BL must be locked.

Currently I have a custom Kernel and Rom.
So if I relock my BL I can download and flash the stock rom and kernel with SUS or PCC?
Do these apps even recognize my phone without the original kernel?

Yes they'll flash relocked BL, in SUS you select the type of phone you have, I don't know for sure what will happen with custom rom because my BL is unlocked but I have relocked and repaired with PCC before.

Doesn't work.
Both SUS and PCC tell me that the software on my phone has been modified.
Edit: ok, I think I got it. Relocked the bootloader first with flashtool.
hi, im a bit of a noob at this unlocking bootloader stuff. Anyway, i unlocked my bootloader and put doomkernel on D6503 Z2. i want to relock my bootloader and remove doomkernel. i read this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45496437&postcount=2 . I dont get what it means by "before u relock bootloader u have to be on pure stock kernel (flash only the kernel.sin using flashtool)". Where can i get the pure stock kernel and how do i flash it with flashtool?
thanks.
