I have Xperia Go with ICS rooted. I just wanted to know as and when Jellybean is officially launched can i update my rooted xperia go to Jellybean through PC companion or i have to unroot first
Did you unlock bootloader? It sounds silly but for some reason, I've this feeling that you can get root/flast custom roms with a locked bootloader >_>
Anyways:
Locked bootloader: Yes
Unlocked bootloader: No.
Just wait for some kind soul to post a .ftf file and flash via flashboot.

If your BL is Locked then its not a problem, you can just update it. But if you have unlocked ur BL then you first need to relock it to update official fw.

Yes, if you unlocked with S1Tool there is a restore button.

you will not loose ICS as when ever its released you can get it from XDA and then you can flash your mobile with flashtool to get the lastest ICS on your mobile ....
so go for it & unlock your bootloader & enjoy.............

yes now you have unlocked bootloader even if you flash any rom
you're good to go
You see, firmware and boot-loaders are two different things all together, once you've unlocked a boot-loader it's "unlocked" even if you install Stock Firmwares. There is a way to lock the boot-loader back again though, which requires a different process all together !!
Hi,i got unlocked bootloader and how to update to ics using pc companion?
I hear that relock bootloader dosnt work and you cant get official rom after unlock bootloader

Did you unlock (official way at unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com) or patch (test point method) the bootloader?
Both ways, bootloader can be restored/relocked. I recently relocked mine, getting updates also.

Open the SE Tool and click Restore to relock the bootloader. Then you should be able to get the updates, if you couldn't earlier.

Dude, I have this overheating issue on my xperia mini, and the bootloader is unlocked. So I gave it in the service center, they said that the motherboard has a problem and they are going to replace it . I lost the DRM keys by unlocking the bootloader-
1. Will I get those DRM keys back once my motherboard is replaced?
2. Will the bootloader status be changed to locked again?

I can't answer that. You will get your answer if you get your phone back.
To previous post - Way too small photo, can't see. Neither can I see that option in Flashtool 0.7.1.0 on my PC.

Cause I still have 1,5y of warranty and as I unlocked the BL the warranty doesnt covers damage.
Btw,what's the procedure to do with SEUS?
flash this with flashtool
http://www.mediafire.com/?g1b5j712ajx4yjd
it relocks the bootloader if you unlocked it via the official SE method
you can re-unlock it again after that
and then lock it again
etc
Well,I Unlocked it Via Flashtool,During the process the program opened me a webpage which was from sony ericsonn that gave me a code to unlock the bootloader,it was the official page...
yes thats the official method.

you can use SEUS, PC Companion, Flashtool.
And yes.
AFAIK warranty is void once you unlock bootloader due to deletion of a partition in which you loose DRM keys needed by some apps. I think DRM keys are lost forever and that is how then know your warranty is void
Sony Update service won't let unlocked bootloader devices to update/restock.. It says i had a modified software.. I used sony official method.. And relock via flashtool, and use Sony update service again.. It restock my phone.. But i got different region.. (CE)

Just a quick question.
I unlocked my bootloader on my Mini and then locked it again.
Now when I updated to ICS I was thinking about unlocking it again.
Is there anything I need to think about that can be an issue?
I was planing to unlock it with the official method from Sony.
Cheers
