Hi!
I have only a little question. I have CyanogenMod 9 on WT19i (LiveWithWalkman). Of course I have unlocked bootloader. I want to go back to stock ROM and unlock bootloader. I have to only flash old ftf .62 and flash relocking file or it is more complicated?

No you don't... You don't have a locked bootloader...
I don't think there is any CM ROM for Xperia active with locked bootloader...
If it exist do you mind passing the link for it
BTW running CM on stock kernel too bad

You are mistaking with the meaning of unlock/locked boot loader. Phone comes with locked boot loader then it is unlocked for full throttle. If u want to go back to stock u dont have to relock the boot loader again. Just flash any ics kernel & then stock rom. Or u dont have to flash a kernel if u are gonna flash a ftf
Sorry!
Sorry. Very stupid mistake . UNLOCKED

Yes just flash the ftf and if you want to root, just flash a prerooted kernel for gingerbread, but stock kernel will be flashed with the ftf :good:
Thread moved. All questions belong in Q&A not General.

Hey guys, I'm gonna get a brand new Xperia X10 Mini Pro in a few days. I wanna install MiniCM7-2.1.9, and to use that rom I also need to install the nAa kernel, which requires an unlocked bootloader.
So my question is, say if I need to revert everything back to stock (rom, kernel, lock bootloader), for warranty purposes for example. Well, I know that the kernel and rom can be flashed back to stock using flashtool or SEUS, but what about the bootloader?
If I remember correct, you have to lock the bootloader first or else an unlocked bootloader won't work with a stock rom & kernel, which will result in a hard brick right?

Bootloader cannot be locked again. So if you are unlucky, you will get brick and lose garanty. =)

Yes, sorry, i am used outdating info((
ya I did my research and S1Tool can re-lock the bootloader. But am I correct though? My question wasn't really answered...
You have to flash back to stock rom and stock kernel if you want to re-lock your bootloader. Just when you're on stock rom/kernel, then you can safely re-lock your bootloader.

i have ftf bundle for stock and flashtool,

If u don't relock bl don't forget to relock before sending back to Sony (your warranty will be voided) if not though, u may aswell leave it unlocked

I've been thinking, when you upgrade your device's software from GB to ICS via flashtool,it flashes a kernel even if your bootloader is locked. So would it be possible to change the kernel in the stock ICS ftf rom file with a custom one, and flash it that way? Correct me if i made a mistake.

I never thought of that, but why you don't try it & report what happens? So you earn experience
No' it's impossible. You can flash a kernel.sin but I guess you can't create a custom kernel.sin. The .ftf is Sony signed and you can't modify it
Sent from my Nexus 7 running Android 4.2.2
I can't try it because my bootloader is already unlocked.

It's impossible, because you can't modify the ftf. And you won't find a custom kernel.sin that you can flash on your locked bootloader

Its impossible.
but still having unlocked bootloader doesn't mean that u can't relock it
Don't forget to hit thanks

You cant flash custom kernels unless you unlock your bootloader . Hit thanks if i helped
Back on the old Xperia 2010 devices, there was no option for unlocking the bootloader. Our devices(2011 devices) are the first to get this option, so for those devices custom kernel.sin files were there. Check this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363460
Don't think that it will work though.

Yes you need an unlocked bootloader to flash a custom kernel. But you can flash a custom kernel using fastboot tools and a command prompt or a terminal (Linux) too. You don't need flashtool
If the link for flashtool is not working, check the stickies in Dev section, flashtool should be there. It should still be downloadable

yes you should be having a unlocked bootloader for flashing a custom kernel however if you want to go back to stock ICS someday you will have to re-lock your bootloader and simply click on "Repair Phone" in SEUS.......

hi, im a bit of a noob at this unlocking bootloader stuff. Anyway, i unlocked my bootloader and put doomkernel on D6503 Z2. i want to relock my bootloader and remove doomkernel. i read this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45496437&postcount=2 . I dont get what it means by "before u relock bootloader u have to be on pure stock kernel (flash only the kernel.sin using flashtool)". Where can i get the pure stock kernel and how do i flash it with flashtool?
thanks.
