Just use flashtool. It doesn't void your warranty.

no it won't as your bootloader will remain locked

Dear XDA members,
i received a sony xps from my provider (T-mobile Holland) it was branded.
After a while i began to root and ****, but a couple weeks a go i flashed just an offical 0.73 NL with no brand, and via pccompanion i updated to ics.
right now i am not sure if i relocked the bootloader, this is important for me cuz i want to send it to sony becouse off the yellow tint issue.
i made some printscreen about some info of my sony xps.
Question 1 : is my boodloader locked or not if you dont know how can i check it if it realy is locked
Question 2 : Can i get in trouble for my warranty becouse i changed to branded fw to an unbranded fw wich is just official but is unbranded.
guyzzz please let me know
1.Yes your bootloader is unlocked
2. It is stated on the Sony site that unlocking bootloader may void your warranty.
If you are not sure just try to repair it via pcc,if it's successful that's means its locked or flash the ftf file that re-LOCK it.

hmm after i updated 0.73 to ics via pcc i flashed the relock ftf but as you can see my phone says bootloader unlock allowed (yes) how can i lock this bootloader to make use of my warranty .. right now its frustrating im realy sorry for that

He did.
!= mean that something is not equal,like Allowed!=unlocked means that unlocked is not the same as allowed.
Omg. Noobs. This! And then = means NOT EQUAL.
For example Roses!=Violets, because roses are red and violets are blue... LOL. Hope it helps.
Anyway, it's part of programming, we start thinking that people understand those crazy signs.

as i mentioned before just give me a simple statement if i can send my device for repair yes or no ? if not how can i fix it in order to send it for repair without anny problems.
If you lock it again you will still see that BL unlock allowed =yes
As i say before use the ftf to lock it then use pcc to repair it and send it for fixing.

Try flashing via flashtool a generic ftf file. You can find them here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1936477
Do you want to install ics or gb?
You can also install jb but you will have to unlock bootloader and void your warranty.
Do you know how to use flashtool? There is also a tutorial on YouTube on how to use flashtool.

rooting will void the warranty. if you do not want to void the warranty then please don't do it
Really my main hangup with the phone, curious if I should wait until a temp root solution comes out so I can back up what will be lost.
there is no solution as for xperia 1 and 1 mark 2 also to back up drm keys.
If someone does an unlock, can they please report which DRM features will be lost?

I thought the mk2 had a temp root solution where you could back up the drm, and restore once the bootloader was unlocked.

Not only the mk2 also the mk1 just relock the bootloader and repair with xperia companion

I'm confused, you said there was no solution, but then that there is a solution for both?

Nothing confused about it.. You ask if there is a way to back up DRM KEYS the answer is no but you can repair them when you relock the bootloader and repair with xperia companion.. Thats the only way.

Ah OK, will the phone stay rooted after relocking the bootloader? I assume this still voids the warranty?
