my phone has been rooted,but it is said that the ics of xperia u will be OTA soon,so i want to restore to stock rom an relock bootloader.anyone can help?thanks in advance
It will not be via OTA(the phone can't handle the amount of data)
But if you want to relock your bootloader just download the xperia U bootloader relocking ftf from here and flash via flashtool:

hi all,
i've used flahtool and use the flash mode. my phone is in .62 firmware EU
i've used this flashtool package from a modded ICS firmware >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1518563
- Flashtool package: Flashtool package This includes baseband .70 and userdata etc from official ICS
after using this flashtool package my phone do a boot loop
my phone is root and i've installed CWM
how to unbrick my phone ?
ps : my english is bad i'm french.
It must be because of the kernel you are using. I had the same problem with that ROM, I tried several kernels and only bootloops.
Try flashing this kernel via fastboot mode:

Then flash ROM KA18 or any other ROM, I am using ICS from team xperia and works great:

You need to have an unlocked bootloader to boot custom ROMs. If your bootloader is not unlocked then you can look in the forum for an original ROM and flash it via flashtool.

tanks but my bootloader is locked for the moment i can unlock it...

If you want to have your phone rooted, flash .42 then root and then use over the air update to go to .62
i get the MT15i_4.0.2.A.0.62_1246-9107.ftf
how to flash ?
Did you confirmed if your bootloader can be unlocked?
Type *#*#7378423#*#* to enter the service menu, then Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status, it should say "Bootloader unlock allowed Yes" if bootloader unlock is not allowed you cannot use fastboot method to unlock it.
sorry but i can't boot my phone
i'm remember is possible to unlock the bootloader
unlock bootloader allowed : yes

To flash, just install FlashTool.
Then open flashTool and click on the flash icon, select flashmode. Then in the select folder section selet where you have the ftf file, click OK and follow the instructions on the screen.

I got the problem with my phone too a long time ago when I'm in a stock Rom with root access,CWM and bootloader unlock,when I relock,my phone won't reboot...
The solution is to flash a new stock Rom,and the problem will gone
Sent from my SK17i using xda premium
Instead of using the relock bootloader.ftf have you tried doing the procedure using the stock firmware and ticking the relock bl option?
Well SEUS saved my phone , cause i was samsung user (haved mini pro as my last SE phone) i was totaly out of this complicated things on Sony . Did repair from SEUS and phone booted ...
Now what i want is to upgrade my phone to newer ics now on 431 .. Is it best to change SI number and then lock bootloader and upgrade officaly or just to flash via flashtool
?
Thank you
There is no advantage in one option in respect to the other., If your bl is unlocked i would suggest keeping it that way in case you will want to make changes in the future, it just makes things easier...
After you flash the relock bootloader ftf you will have to flash the stock rom onto it, otherwise it has no "OS to run from" since the one you gave it is the unlock bootloader.

Is your bootloader unlocked? If not then you need to go through the dualrecovery method from NUT.
What I suggest you do is use flashtool, connect your phone in flashmode and flash an official firmware ftf to bring back your system. After all that then you can go through the whole rooting and dual recovery again later.

Hi guys.
I really took my time and I have searched the whole forum, all the threads involving rooting and also googled the heck of it, but still I am not pretty 100% sure how should I root mine Z2 23.0.1.A.0.167 after update as in many threads I found different answers.
Could please someone point me how to root my Z2?
Specifications below:
- first time root
- no custom recovery
- bought as 4.4.2, now updated to 4.4.4 @23.0.1.A.0.167
- UK, unbranded
I would like to get root, have custom recovery, could flash custom roms/kernels, etc.
I will really appreciate any help.
Thanks.
1. Use flashtool to downgrade to 314 firmware (exclude data)
2. Root and install recovery
3. Flash 167 rom
4. Useflashtool to flash pre-rooted 167 firmware (excluding data and system)
This method would alow you to keep your bootloader locked
I recomend using the TA Backup tool to backup ur TA just incase you want to unlock your bootloader
(when you root your device on 314)

If you have a unlocked bootloader you can just flash a recovery and use it to flash A root zip

Thanks for the links.
I thought you can easily unlock bootloader via Sony code, as I checked mine in software info I would be able to do it, or am I wrong?
In case I have unlocked bootloader, I will just flash via flash tool for example the dual recovery, then flash prerooted rom and I am good to go right?
(when I will pass all of this I will write it over here)

Flash pre-rooted rom and flash a 167 FTF (exclude system and data)
If your on unlocked bootloader flash recovery and then use recovery to flash a pre-rooted rom

One more question, any way to get root before flashing whole rom so I can run titanium backup before I wipe the whole thing?
Get your backup before the process.
I assume I need to re-lock the boot loader?
Once I have done this, is it simply a matter of using the Sony companion software to flash the ftf file??
