Please help me. I bricked my friends WT19i after trying to flash RealICS rc5.2... i don't know what to do now and how to get his handphone working again. I am stressed. His bootloader is locked. And i flashed CWM using X tool from Play Store. His phone is rooted. I downgraded his firmware from 0.62 to 0.58 using Flashtool, then rooted it, and OTA update back to 0.62 then installed CWM using X tool. Then i tried to flash the RealICS rom and his hp is stuck at Sony Ericsson logo. I cant even get into recovery mode. Please help me. Please please please.

Relax guy, you just need upgrade to ics stock rom, root, install cwm, or you can using extended kernel by expeacer, if you want to install real ics your kernel must ics kernel..

You can use krsh or stock kernel... Or you can flash his phone to compete stock... I think unlocking bootloader is not required for installing real ics unless you are flashing custom kernel.... Better not to void its warranty....

Man, just root your phone with local-prop method (look in my signature in the rooting guide, there's a link to a tutorial how to root ics, which is very easy)
When you are on ics, just get cwm and install real ics lite like explained in it's thread.
Don't unlock bootloader, it's not required! Unlocking bootloader voids warranty and you don't need to do it.
And you can't install a custom kernel on locked bootloader, so do it like I've written and just first install offical ics and after that flash real ics

Go to this nice tutorial, there's explained how to flash gingerbread stock rom and root ics, cause you must do it with local-prop/push-root-files method. Just do it like explained there.
After wards install cwm and flash real ics lite for locked bootloader, but check what has to be wiped/formatted (for example do a factory reset or wipe cache). Just look in the real ics thread

Would be nice to have one for ICS to
I bought an Xperia Sola online recently, since the day i relieved it, i am trying to update it. I tried all methods possible and also the ones suggested by the Xperia care. When I checked online, it says my device should be running software version 6.1.1.B.*, i.e. ICS but by all methods tried, it says my device is up to date. Currently running gingerbread software version 6.0.B.3.814.
Please help. I do not want to root my device or run any custom ROM. I want to update to ICS Xperia.

Did you unlock your bootloader? Can't officially update with an unlocked bootloader.

Warranty maybe void only if you unlock bootloader or root.
So flashing ftf will not,I guess.

You can not. For flashing any other kernel except stock you need unlocked bootloader.

If it works with stock kernel... In some cases custom roms work with custom kernels only, so to not brick your device be sure this rom works with stock kernel.
EDIT: after you have locked bl how will you install stock kernel with recovery?
