Heya, I'm using .67 Firmware w/ Bootunlock, Rooted. I tried to update .73 Firmware in Sony PC Companion, it's new released version. Have any way to update it?
If you have installed the doom kernel and the recovery correctly, just restart in flashboot mode (blue led) and you can flash some 0.73 prerooted stock rom which you can downloadd from the xperia s android dev.
You can not use pc companion to update your phone when your bootloader is unlocked,
Thats why there is a re lock method, when relocked you can use the se software again
But will loos root probarbly

I have rooted my device on 6.1.A.0.452 and I wanna update it but it can't be updated because of the root (I tried to update it from Sony PC companion and phone updates it self and i failed ). So anyone give links to flash the new rom without any change
because you have rooted your phone im assuming you've unlocked your phone, you cant update your phone if you have unlocked your phone,
if u want to update via seus or pc companion you have to relock it again.
relocking bootloader
or if u just want to flash latest update, flash it via flashtool,
flashtool
firmwares
thanks for the reply and the links.
But I can flash without relocking it. Right ?!
I Guess I rooted it without unlocking the boot screen.
Hi,
I don't know how to get out this time...
I installed Zellycream on my rooted Xperia Mini ST15i (4.0.4) with locked BL, after installing CWM with X-Parts.
After booting up, fonts were not readable so I installed it again, forgetting to wipe before
Now I'm stuck in a bootloop without CWM (due to locked BL) and PC companion tells me that there is no software available.
Flashtool does not work with locked bootloader as far as I understand (I tried but it didn't work either).
Is there any option left I missed or can I throw it away?
Flashtool works great on locked bootloader. Just flash the stock rom .ftf in flashmode using flashtool and it'll work
Sent from my Nexus 4 running Android 4.4
yup... just like Mihahn said.. Flashtool works with locked and unlocked BL.. maybe you need to re-instal your adb driver on your PC so the flashtool will able to read it and works for you...
Hello,
Since I can't find the FTF file for my region is it possible that I flash the lastest firmware directly from official softwares like PC companion or Sony Update Service on my device that still have the bootloader locked with recoveries? or is the risk to high and I should just unlock bootloader and flash the update via flashtool?

You shouldn't have to unlock the bootloader to flash a FTF, just grab a generic version for your model and flash away (by default flashtool will wipe data so back it up)
Hi,
I have received the MM OTA update notification but I have a custom recovery installed. Is it best to restore back to stock recovery and install the OTA update to get MM or use the flashtool?
Also is the DRM restore tool available on MM?
Cheers
Spikey.
If your bootloader is unlocked then you cannot update via OTA or via PC Companion. You will have to use flashtool
Hi
Im on Marshmallow AOSP 6.0.3 rooted and bootloader unlocked
so i was wondering how can i revert back to factory setup so that i can use Sony Pc Companion and update my Z2 to the latest sony stock firmware ?
some told me to just flash a stock firmware using flashtools but does it relock my bootloader ?
and I heard Pc companion only works if the device's bootloader is locked . Does it really need to be locked for the PC companion to update?

Did you backup TA partition before unblocking the bootloader???
If no then you cannot use PC companion
But why you need PC companion???
You can flash the lastest firmware with flashtools
