Hey everybody, I just have a question about the bootloader, can I flash firmwares thats in a ftf or using update service when I have a Xperia U with unlocked bootloader using the sony method? Or do they just talk about when you update your phone using the update center app on your phone? Im just curius cuz I dont want to brick my new phone.
You can use flashtool, but NOT SUS or PC Companion. If you update with sus/pcc u will brick.

Ok, can you provide me with some FTFs?
You can find stock rom ftf's in ROM development section
btw you can always relock your bootloader if you want to update via SEUS

Does repairing from SUS or PCC need locked bootloader?
I have a unlocked bootloader from the official website of sony
And running cm7
I want to repair my neo v as all the roms related to cm7 are lagging
It wasnt like this before bt afta some months of daily changing roms and kernel cm7 cm9 miui lags
And i even flashed ftf files bt did not got any result
So i want to repair using SUS or PCC which is good for repairing? And does both of them need my cell again to be relocked?
Plz help n plz reply

No, it will flash fw for same region which you have on your phone at the moment.
Only locked bootloaders can update through sony companion or bridge for mac
If you have unlocked ur bootloader, you can easily search forums at XDA to relock ur bootloader and get updates from sony !
Is there any difference between serial no. xxxx-xxxx but same region
Is there any trick or something that it can flash back or repair to my original firmware?

Only if you know your original CDF(customization) number. And no, that's not the one written on the back of your phone.

I am using a Xperia tipo dual and I have already unlocked my bootloader to gain root access from bin4ry, thank him so much :good:
The problem is that I have deleted some system apps without backing up them so I think I should use sony companion software or SUS to repair.
As far as I know, updating firmware OTA on an unlocked one will brick it, so does using SONY Companion or Sony Update Service brick unlocked-bootloader phones if I try to repair and create a ftf?
Thank you in advance.
And can someone upload a Xperia Tipo Dual ftf for me please?

Nope it won't brick the phone but on the other hand you can't update /repair either cause of the unlocked bootloader and the root...
You will get "modified software error" on both SEUS & PC Companion

Flash it with Flashtool and the firmware ftf file. Also you don't need an unlocked bootloader to root with bin4ry's method.

well, with Bin4ry's method, I tried three times with locked tipo dual and it did not work, then unlocked bootloader and tried again, it worked
Get the ftf file from somewhere around here..i am sure someone uploaded it.. Flash it worth flashtools...
And yes using SUS and pc companion will brick your device if it is boootloader unlocked..

Yup it's possible in two ways :-
1) Just flash the stock firmware with flashtool available in this forum for your device...
2) If you dont find the stock firmware then "relock bootloader" and repair your device with SEUS or PC Companion by doing this your both wishes wil be done to hv stock firmware and update through PC companion

My Xperia sola is currently stuck at the sony logo. This is because:
I installed the jellybean custom rom and forgot to make a backup. I didn't like the jellybean and wanted to return the phone back to its original state but I didn't have a backup of it.
So i flashed the kernels 6.1.1.B.1.54 and 6.1.1.B.1.10 thinking that then I could plug in my phone and repair it using Sony Pc companion and revert it back to its original state but it won't even appear in Sony Pc Companion because the phone keeps turning on and off.
What can be done?
If u hav a flashtool then just flash the stock ics ftf file and then u have your working phone!!

You have unlocked the bootloader!! Sony pcc won't recognise you're device!! You need to lock you're bootloader to repair your mobile via pcc!! Just flash some ics ftf to have a working device!!

It says that I have modified software which cannot be updated
Okay I've locked the bootloader but before that I flashed the kernels again and whenever I open my phone it keeps restarting with the sony logo and I can't get into pcc to repair it. Is there another way to repair it when its in flash mode or something?:
Sorry I don't know how to help u

wich kernel did u flashed this usually happens when u have kernel/rom incompatibility
and if u use flashtool with ics ftf it should work...as not a noob said! maybe u did somthing wrong with this flash..
wich items are checked in flashtool when u flash ftf??? (kernel and rom ...those boxes)
I'm sure i have this problem with my xperia p... ROM/kernel incompatibility... how do i solve it...
Just use flastool. Download tft and flash it. You'll be ok.

1. DOWNLOAD STOCK ICS FTF
2. Flash it.

This happens because your flashed a ICS KERNEL ON A JB rom.

PCC would not update unlocked boot loaders.
You can relock your boot loader and PCC wil update.
Or you can build ftf file from PCC files, and flash with flashtool.
How to Create an FTF file of Your Xperia ICS Firmware
I have used both methods, and both worked. I reccomend the second, this way you always have the original firmware in case you need it.

You flashed a custom kernel? Thats why....
did you unlock your bootloader at unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com?
As my signature says, i hate unlocking bootloader. This is the reason why as problems like this pops out after you unlock. If you were looking for root, update your phone (after its fixed) and root using doomlord's root in the xperia p dev. forum.
