Just one more question
If i unlock bootloader can i connect phone to PC Companion or SEUS(update sevice) an clik on REPAIR PHONE and trick it to download firmware and before it finish downloading i disconnect phone and then make ftf file from blob-fs folder and flash it with flash tool.
Will it detect my phone, can this be done???
And can i flash ftf with stock firmware to phone with unlocked bootloader?

If you have unlocked bootloader, PCC and US won't even start downloading.

Well if I unlock my BL, will it be permanently unlocked? Or can I lock it back again?
just for confirmation, is it still after UBL the kernel needed to be flash via flashtool and cant be flash through recovery?
I did knot Unlock my BL yet ....can i Unlock using the new Flash Tools v0.5.30 ??
Yes use flashtool if u can't press the button to unlock it because you don't meet the requirements. (think u need stock kernel)
Edit: yeah u can re-lock bl

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.

Hi
I have tried with s1tool to unbrick my phone .But after clicking do job ,iam not getting the restore tab for restore the file.Just see the attached screenshot.
Somebody has to help me to get it sort out this issue.
Thanks
are your phone unlocked bootloader?
if unlock, try to use s1tools / flashtool with proper ftf file.
if it's locked, just use SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service)
AFAIK restore function is used for relocking bootloader.
Do you want to unbrick phone by flashing new ROM? Assuming that You have unlocked bootloader, use flashtool.
Edit: it seems I was too slow
Sent from my MT15i using XDA
You are using older version of s1tool.
Go to neo v dev section and from sticky thread get newer s1tool.
Just download the firm and flash will latest version of flash tool..

I used right Flashtool to unlock the BL,What means GB?

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.

What was the result brother. Your reply is very valuable for many users. Are you able to update the phone using SEUS ?

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)
