Does repairing from SUS or PCC need locked bootloader?
I have a unlocked bootloader from the official website of sony
And running cm7
I want to repair my neo v as all the roms related to cm7 are lagging
It wasnt like this before bt afta some months of daily changing roms and kernel cm7 cm9 miui lags
And i even flashed ftf files bt did not got any result
So i want to repair using SUS or PCC which is good for repairing? And does both of them need my cell again to be relocked?
Plz help n plz reply

Yes you need locked bl, other way you cant update
So if i relock it using the ftf file found in xperia mini forums for relocking bootloader n afta the repair how do i unlock the bootloader again
Sorry for the noob question bt do i have to request a new unlock code from official site?

No, it will flash fw for same region which you have on your phone at the moment.
Only locked bootloaders can update through sony companion or bridge for mac
If you have unlocked ur bootloader, you can easily search forums at XDA to relock ur bootloader and get updates from sony !
Is there any difference between serial no. xxxx-xxxx but same region
Is there any trick or something that it can flash back or repair to my original firmware?

Only if you know your original CDF(customization) number. And no, that's not the one written on the back of your phone.

I am not sure but if I member correct at least the phone had to be rooted.
Will you unlock via official Sony or test point method?
You also should check via service menu if the bootloader is unlockable.

Just one little note, 77 is baseband, 42 and 62 are not baseband numbers, those are build numbers (last 2 numbers of build number).

No need to be root-ed to unlock bootloader.
i want to unlock via test point method.. so that my drm keys are preserved.. so i hope i can unlock it via S1tool with 4.0.4 and baseband .72

No need to downgrade to gb .62 for unlocking bl using S1 tool, you can use S1 tool on ICS .587 firmware also... And DRM keys are crap, if you want to use trackid, download it from play store, it will work without drm keys..

Hey everybody, I just have a question about the bootloader, can I flash firmwares thats in a ftf or using update service when I have a Xperia U with unlocked bootloader using the sony method? Or do they just talk about when you update your phone using the update center app on your phone? Im just curius cuz I dont want to brick my new phone.
You can use flashtool, but NOT SUS or PC Companion. If you update with sus/pcc u will brick.

Ok, can you provide me with some FTFs?
You can find stock rom ftf's in ROM development section
btw you can always relock your bootloader if you want to update via SEUS

I rooted my Neo some time ago, but I'm not sure whether it has S-OFF. How can I check? Thanks.
I had my Neo in original GB. I rooted it using this Flashtool procedure: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1709880. And the phone is with ICS now.
May I unlock bootloader now? And how?

These are 2 methods to unlock Bootloader
1. testpoint - I used that and it's really simple
2. Officialy
I prefer testpoint so here u are --> http://androidflip.com/unlock-xperia-phones-bootloader-without-losing-drm-data-track-id-working/
I would say go for official one.. because it is easy and anything official is great

Yess bro you are right.. but See basically once you unlock your bootloader and even if u again lock it, its in re-locked state and not locked state.. whatever it is.. once u unlock the bootloader you void your warrenty anyways.. so even if we lose DRM whats the big deal?
Because if that was the case then at first place we would not root the phone or unlock the bootloader.. we know what we have to face after doing it

No not always.. there are some roms wich u cannot flash having a locked bootloader.. but there are some.. here is the link for one..

It's not same.
lack of DRM certificate can easily be seen/spotted in service center, just by connecting phone to one program, which is not the case with "re-locked" or "un-patched" phone whose BL has been unlocked unofficialy via s1tool.

Well, if you flash fw for same region then there is no way to know that phone has been flashed with flashtool.
And if "you" are smart enough you will make backup ftf before you star messing with your phone.
Or smart enough to know how to trick SEUS or PCC to flash different fw, by editing build.prop.
Just FYI, my BL was unofficially unlocked, flashed so many times (though before service center I flashed it with correct region) and they replaced my motherboard with no problems.

That's your opinion, but you can't say it's not important.

My Xperia sola is currently stuck at the sony logo. This is because:
I installed the jellybean custom rom and forgot to make a backup. I didn't like the jellybean and wanted to return the phone back to its original state but I didn't have a backup of it.
So i flashed the kernels 6.1.1.B.1.54 and 6.1.1.B.1.10 thinking that then I could plug in my phone and repair it using Sony Pc companion and revert it back to its original state but it won't even appear in Sony Pc Companion because the phone keeps turning on and off.
What can be done?
If u hav a flashtool then just flash the stock ics ftf file and then u have your working phone!!

wich kernel did u flashed this usually happens when u have kernel/rom incompatibility
and if u use flashtool with ics ftf it should work...as not a noob said! maybe u did somthing wrong with this flash..
wich items are checked in flashtool when u flash ftf??? (kernel and rom ...those boxes)
I'm sure i have this problem with my xperia p... ROM/kernel incompatibility... how do i solve it...
Just use flastool. Download tft and flash it. You'll be ok.

1. DOWNLOAD STOCK ICS FTF
2. Flash it.
3. Done
This happens because your flashed a ICS KERNEL ON A JB rom.
