Hi,i got unlocked bootloader and how to update to ics using pc companion?
I hear that relock bootloader dosnt work and you cant get official rom after unlock bootloader
wysłane z commodore64
Did you unlock (official way at unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com) or patch (test point method) the bootloader?
Both ways, bootloader can be restored/relocked. I recently relocked mine, getting updates also.

Open the SE Tool and click Restore to relock the bootloader. Then you should be able to get the updates, if you couldn't earlier.

Dude, I have this overheating issue on my xperia mini, and the bootloader is unlocked. So I gave it in the service center, they said that the motherboard has a problem and they are going to replace it . I lost the DRM keys by unlocking the bootloader-
1. Will I get those DRM keys back once my motherboard is replaced?
2. Will the bootloader status be changed to locked again?

I can't answer that. You will get your answer if you get your phone back.
To previous post - Way too small photo, can't see. Neither can I see that option in Flashtool 0.7.1.0 on my PC.

yes now you have unlocked bootloader even if you flash any rom
you're good to go
You see, firmware and boot-loaders are two different things all together, once you've unlocked a boot-loader it's "unlocked" even if you install Stock Firmwares. There is a way to lock the boot-loader back again though, which requires a different process all together !!
isnt here ANY other way to unloack bootloader than by test pont method or official method!!!just bought an xpera mini st15i !!!plzzz helpp!!
Urghh if you mean other method than a TestPoint and official method = Nope,no method currently available...

Try to ask your nearest phone service and ask them to unlock your bootloader
Well,I adviced you to NOT unlock your bootloader as it is hard to relock it back (especially if you want to receive official ICS by sony)

As far as I know only stock roms can be instaled w/o bootloader unlocked :/

samsung phones are much much much better in this case!!;9
Bootloader can be unlocked only 2 ways. Service shops will likely ask money. Relocking is actually easier than unlocking.
There is only one ROM that doesn't require unlocked bootloader, Xperia UXP NXT.

I got lucky I could unlock it for free via Omnius it was a mess tho >.< but I'm very happy with the results
What's omnius
??
It's like wotan server, allows you to unlock your bootloader, flash stock roms I think and check and repair your phone, it works for SE and Samsung if I'm not wrong :$

You can try to unlock your bootloader by downloading the flashtool and image created by quanghut. Try to search the link, I cant post links yet, I used that to unlock my bootloader.

You cannot unlock bootloader via Flashtool or any image files.
Bootloader is done via Official method or test point method. Quagnhut's(sorry if misspelled) program also uses official SE method.

Cause I still have 1,5y of warranty and as I unlocked the BL the warranty doesnt covers damage.
Btw,what's the procedure to do with SEUS?
flash this with flashtool
http://www.mediafire.com/?g1b5j712ajx4yjd
it relocks the bootloader if you unlocked it via the official SE method
you can re-unlock it again after that
and then lock it again
etc
Well,I Unlocked it Via Flashtool,During the process the program opened me a webpage which was from sony ericsonn that gave me a code to unlock the bootloader,it was the official page...
yes thats the official method.

you can use SEUS, PC Companion, Flashtool.
And yes.
AFAIK warranty is void once you unlock bootloader due to deletion of a partition in which you loose DRM keys needed by some apps. I think DRM keys are lost forever and that is how then know your warranty is void
Sony Update service won't let unlocked bootloader devices to update/restock.. It says i had a modified software.. I used sony official method.. And relock via flashtool, and use Sony update service again.. It restock my phone.. But i got different region.. (CE)

i was thinking to relock my bootloader. please help me to decide by giving me advantages of locked bootloader or the risk of using unlocked bootloader (or vice versa) thanks.
Locked bootloader doesn't have much advantages other than maybe your warranty will be back but still if you don't want warranty back you shud be stuck with unlocked bootloader.....

DRM keys are lost forever if unlocked by official method. Relocking will not help for officially unlocked bootloader. Do this only if you have to take your phone to Sony. Maybe it is different for testpoint method..

Warranty...... But I doubt you will get full warranty if you obtained the unlock code officially from Sony.. They register the request with your IMEI and void your warranty...But somewhere Sony mentioned to give conditional warranty, provided the device wasnt damaged with any mod you made "frying your processor by overclocking" ...Still its worth relocking if you claim warranty/service.. Apart from that, theres no big deal.

No, there is no way to flash JB on locked BL.
You can unlock the bootloader using Sony official tool/website for unlocking bl
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com
Before unlocking you can backup your TA partition, in case you wanted to give the phone to warranty. Later you can restore it - phone will be locked again and they will not know it was unlocked.

I dont think you should feel sad because of that. My bl can be unlocked, but after using custom kernel for 2days my phone became unusuable dur to extreme lags. That's why i stay with stock ROMS. They are good enough .
