You need to relock the bootloader in order to use the official way to upgrade.

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
No, not even with a nandroid backup

u can fully re-lock ur bootloader..with this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17494360 GOOD LUCK BUDDY
Hmm what could be the issue? Or if i have to wait, how long to wait for the root to be clickable? I'm a little worn out over these issues, as part of it is my fault as i already have it rooted everything done. But funny thing is when i optimize my phone or try to install the android keyboard (not the default input) it won't reboot. So i went to use another flashtool to try to install it but ended up i face some issues but i got it fixed. Puzzled, are we not allowed to optimize or install custom apks?
You canNot optimize with flashtool (for 2.3) what are you running???

Try flash it again and don't optimize it with flash tool, it breaks xrec and might cause bootloop...

I see. Yeah i followed, but how long will the root button clickable? If not i can't root at all. Another question, what's xrecovery for?
This happened to me as well, you gotta keep trying and it at the right moment. try flashing downgrade, then upgrade and then again downgrade and then try...it takes a few tries. I just rooted my device.
I have the same
is it rooting the 2.3.3 on x10i does not need to unlock the bootloaders 1st??

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.

No, when im on locked bootloader, the install cannot be install too.
I already flashed .62 last night using flashtool. Then I flashed rage kernel now it rooted. Now its all good

So, I was searching for solution to have custom recovery on my locked Xperia S and i couldn't find it. Is it even possible because of my locked bootloader? My phone is rooted.
Rooting with This method gives recovery on locked bootloader.
I'm using it. I make backups and also flash roms that are for locked bootloader.

xcream and [email protected] roms are pretty cool, easy to install on locked bootloader and clean,
You can also use the attached "recovery", very quick no reinstalls, and even root direct with flashtool. A lot faster than the old method

My SXS is rooted (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460) and CWM is installed (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756346) on locked bootloader. So I can install for example the [email protected] ROM with CWM and will still have root and CWM?
Thx for answers!
