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.

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
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)
so i want to update my phone via xperia companion, but it's not working and i'm asking for my he said that, it must re-lock again before we do some update. is there any tutorial to re-lock m4 aqua again? or how to update without re-lock the bootloader ??
thanks for your concerns
flash stock rom then restore TA backup. restoring TA backup automatically relock your bootloader
If you want to update without locking your bootloader or you didn't backup your ta partition
Don't use pc companion and just use flashtool
You can relock your BL with flashtool. Just pres BLU option, insert your IMEI and the unlock code that you got before from Sony and follow the steps. Then, you will be able to update your firmware with pc companion. I did it on my 2306.
After you update, you will be lose the root user privileges.
I want to re-lock bootloader but Back up TA v9.11 stuck on "Waiting for usb debugging...".
EDIT: tried on an other pc and worked.
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
