Hello
I started this thread for the people who have unlocked their bootloader or their carrier won't allow the ics update(like me )
So... When the official update is out can someone create a ftf file for us to feed our lovely phone?
Tnx.

Wrong Thread..!
And obviously someone will upload the ftf coz most of us here have unlocked bootloaders .

Why wouldn't carrier allow the update? And how you know it?
Also, bootloader can be relocked/restored.

I unlocked by unlocking software which I paid for (I paid for network unlock, it bootloader unlocked optionally) and Sony says both PCC and SEUS would not work. WRONG! SEUS still works for me, I've used it about 3 times. Have you tried SEUS?

You wouldn't know what kind of tools they would use to test to make sure your phone is still valid for warranty, they may as well use an unsigned sin file to test whether you have done stuff on the bootloader.
So my advice is don't do anything yet until you get your phone back from the service centre.

I was talking to my mate actually who knows loads of stuff about SE and the way they work etc and he said the tool they use to check, Emma I think it's called, hasn't been updated since April so they won't be able to pick up anything to do with the BL for now

theming needs access to system files, and accessing system files needs rooting
You can try custom launcher and rooting won't really affect your update

Rooting your phone won't defect it from updating to ICS.
Just root your phone.
You can try : [MOD][ICS|GB] DefaultThemes.apk mod like you want.
This is my mod for stock theme manager... Install like normal app After reboot stock themes will restored...

rooting your devices doesn't have any effect on updating using SEUS or OTA but un-locking bootloader does...it will prevent your device from receiving official update from Sony....
anyway you can always lock/re-lock bootloader again in case you want update from Sony....

rooting voids warranty
many people dont root their android because it voids the warranty, and i know you can "unroot" it later on, but still i wouldnt like to mess up with it till my warranty is there. upgrade to ICS or no upgrade, i would stay away from rooting for the time being at least.
so can we get themes for unrooted LwW?
Thanks

Hmm well i did that to update my phone via update service and it worked. But btw how do you know when ur phone is unlocked or not?
could you explain a little bit on how you unlock bootloader? if you use test point method just use s1 tool and click restore. but if use official way (sony website) then use flashtool with files names "xperia relock bootloder" or something i cant remember so far it managed to relock the bootloader.
I buy last month phone and unlock with official method before couple days. I have that file,flesh via fleshtool but when is done,on fleshtool writhe that -phone will reboot-,but nothing is happaned. I manualy turn on the phone and try to update via seus and then get error that phon isnt recognized
Sent from my ST15i using xda app-developers app
Relocking Bootloader is useless,it wont get your warranty back (Well you can get it back when using test point)
Official Method has your Phone IMEI stored on SONY database so when you go to service center they will check if your IMEI is already Unlocked or not

Hmmm...go to dialer and press *#*#7378423#*#* then go to service info/configuration....look at rooting status, it will show if you have unlock bootloader or not....that is the proof you need if you did relock it successfully or not.....

i know that. the reason i want the .ftf is because
i have already downloaded the .62 via ota and ready to install. and when its about to install the fw my phone reboots then after that, it says 'could not install' on my notification bar. i dont know why.
this happens when im on locked/unlocked bootloader.
but anyway, i hope .62 is much better than .58.
Yes. It happens when you have unlocked bootloader.. DRM keys are lost and Official updates don't work.

The same thing happened to me. Exact same update. Install successful, root stayed. And further, the updatw reinstalled some default apps which I had deleted, like Play Now, AppXtra,etc. (the ones delete-able even without root).
