As you unlocked your bootloader via testpoint, Your bootloader is patched. So SUS or PCcompanion detect is as locked only, also your DRM data is preserved so you can use the Sony's track Id and PlayNow apps. Connect you phone Via SUS / PC-companion and Enjoy the Stock ICS ,587. :angel:
Please hit thanks if I helped you

then do it again, it should work since you didn't use official way to unlock your BL, judging by your signature, right?
p.s. read what poyensa wrote you about topic title. it should reflect essence of your problem.

Just flashing a stock kernel won't affect your user and system data! And neither would OTA update..
But flashing a ROM would..

I know Flashing kernel will not affect my Save data but wasn't sure about Update
Thanks mate.
i don't understand... the bootlader is unlocked how can he receive an OTA update..!
I don't know and I was wondering too!
Receiving an OTA update is no issue! But updating the phone through it is..
Because phones are often bricked when people try to install the OTA update.. But many users have reported that installing the update is possible if you unlocked your device via test point method!
If you unlocked your device the official way, you will eventually end up bricking the phone!
Sent from my Xperia Neo V
I unlocked my Bootloader via Official method.
Thanks for the info and I will never think about updating my Neo via OTA.
No problem!
Many users have faced this problem of bricking their devices when doing OTA update..
Thought of passing that to you too!

I just hope someone upload a ftf file of this new update.

answer: I think you have unlocked bootloader..
you need to lock it using a ftf "Xperia_Relock_bootloader.ftf" using flash method. Find in this forum for the ftf or google.
after that perform the update..

Hi bro, why and how did you restore your bootloader? Seem lots of similar cases
Try to unlock again. And try to reflash Stock Rom with SEUS. You don't have to relock bootloader to flash Stock Rom, in what guide, which you follow, you read that?

Nope, donut HD can be flashed on locked/unlocked bootloader, u should know this.
The reason why i asked u how is : some users relock
their bootloader improperly, and it could brick the phone permanently.

That is bricked phone, so i ask u again :
How you restore your bootloader? detail pls!
Flash stock rom using flash tool. If you can't get flash mode in normal way try this. Take off battery, connect USB to phone, pc, hold back button, insert battery. Good luck.

I'm really glad to heared that bro .
To unlock and restore our bootloader we need to
refert to Stock Rom and Kernel ( Official stock),
This is really safe and eassiest way, btw we absolutely no need to restore our bootloader unless for warranty purpose.

That was link to fix FOTA aka Firmware over the air upgrade brick fix link and it was floating here in our forums since long!!
Normally people who've unlocked bl,while trying OTA brick the phone and that's when this comes handy @Lw I think that's where you got a bit confused

[Q] Sony sk17i mini pro bootloop. Advice please....

Hello everyone,
I have joined here hoping to get some advice, so i will be as complete with my situation as i can.
So, i rooted my phone, installed busybox, root explorer and CWM. No problems so far.
Read up on rom installations and attempted my first one. Cannot remember the rom at the moment but followed instructions as in "back up", wipe cache etc....
Now the phone is in bootloop, whereby it switches on, goes to sony erricson screen, blue light flashes and then goes blank. I cannot enter CWM, i cannot switch off until i remove battery.
I have tried both pc companion repair and seus repair but both say no software for phone(pc companion) and newest software installed(seus).
I have tried booting into safe mode the old fashioned way, but no go and finally....i have shouted obscenities at my phone but that doesn't work either.:silly:
any suggestions, or should i assume that it is bricked and send off for repair if possible?
Thank you.
Hey bro have you locked or unlocked bootloader?
Flash stock .587 firm with flashtool.
Some roms are only for locked or unlocked bootloader. You need to see that before install a rom. And remember. Not all the roms are stable.
Follow step by step. Is recomendable before install a rom. Flash stock firm.

Thanks for your advice.:good:
I went it alone last night and used flashtool to restore a stock rom that i had found and downloaded, and it worked apart from one thing..............the touchscreen will not work now
I have no option to unlock the bootloader according to my phone info, so i will try this .587 firmware you mentioned. Could you provide a link if possible and any advice on the touchscreen.
Many thanks!!
