Hello.
I was in a custom rom and it was 4.04 ICM (I don't remember which one) and I already had an unlocked bootloader (which I couldn't remember) and I tried to re-unlock it
Now on my phone the Sony Ericsson logo re-appeared and it won't boot (it was Sony with my custom rom)
I used this method for unlocking bootloader

I have this CWM

Now what should I do?
Should I flash stock firmware?
Should I flash another custom?

You relocked bootloader, right?
Or did you unlock it again?!
Anyways, if you did a relock, you must flash a stock ftf and/or a ROM for a locked bootloader.
Because, your custom kernel based ROM won't run on a locked bootloader.

hi all
i tested if SEUS restore the lock to our bootloader and rechecked my bootloader after restoring my phone to stock it seems that the bootloader stayed unlocked so unlocking bootloader is proved to be permanent unless you locked it again via flash tool and stock kernel for U20i

You are so wrong, neither seus pcc or flashtool relock the bootloader, you can reflash the firmware all the times you want and your bootloader stays UNlocked . The only tool that RElocks the bootloader again is S1TOOL.

i didn't mean to lock the bootloader via flashtool it was only to say that the kernel itself didn't change when used SEUS to restore stock firmware and noticed as side seeing that the bootloader is still intact and unlocked
i already know that only the steps mentioned in Spyder post with s1tool and flashtool can relock the bootloader but i tried to test SEUS if it does anything in that case.
What I have to do?
Currently I am going to
Relock bootloader
Update via air or on website via PC.
Will that work?
should work, but why you relock your bootloader? follow just the Instruction from Bin4ry with unlocked bootloader... works fine and you got root then
can you link please?
So many dublicated threads
You dont need relock bootloader...
Download the oficial firmware, and install with FlashTools (version 8.0).
Its simple...
Is it a different method with an unlocked bootloader?
Or just flash the ftf file with flash tool?
Just flash.

1) Firmware is the Android system itself, so bootloader will be unlocked.
2) I don't know Sony Xperia U, but in HTC devices there is a text label "Locked" or "Unlocked" in newer bootloaders.
3) You have to unlock the bootloader only once. Flashing roms doesn't affect the bootloader itself.
I have a rooted HTC One with a locked bootloader that I would like to unroot back to stock. I had TWRP as a custom recovery before I relocked the bootloader, but cannot use that now because of my locked bootloader. If I unlock the bootloader again, would I have any form of recovery or a ROM?
