Dear users.
I would like to go back to a 100% stock C6802 ultra but cannot find how.
I used the flash tool to flash .510 (Was on my machine already) and everything worked great, phones boots and looks good.
Only when i update to .532 witch Sony Bridge it say's i am on a custom firmware and for that he cannot update my phone.
Same goed for the Sony update tool on Windows.
i had other boot.img's on the phone for CWM, maybe that is the issue?
Can someone tell me how i can go back to 100% stock.
(I don't know if i need it in this step, but i got a TA backup)
Please let me know.
Thnx in advance.
Maybe it will help you

If you unlocked via classrooms then you can relock with it too. All under the bLU button. You might need to just need to insert your unlock code in flashtools to make it work.

OK got it. Thank you.
So I pressed unlock bootloader (insert unlock code).The flashtool unlocked my bootloader "second time". And after restarted Flashtool, I saw relock option.
Regards
Same here. I did a unlock manual trough fastboot so FlashTool did not see it as unlocked.
After inlocking again trough flashtool i was able to relock trough BLU.
I am back unlockd btw. An on Panadroid

How do I relock my Xperia Mini Pro? I unlocked it through the official way on the Sony Website and wanting to relock it now. I reflashed my phone to stock ROM with stock KERNEL and want to lock the bootloader. I downloaded Flashtool and now I don't know what to do. Should I use Flashtool or S1tool? Please help, thanks
Plus, Flashtool is not recognizing any drivers I have installed, I installed my phone's driver using Gordan Gate's which I got from WontanServer. Will I have to install the drivers manually?
If you used official method, you will need this file, attached to my post, inside the .rar file, and Flashtool. Just place the .ftf file in Flashtool/firmwares folder, then open Flashtool, flashmode and pick the relock_bootloader.ftf file. Make sure your phone is in Flashmode also.
About drivers...I cannot remember, which drivers did I install...
Thanks, a lot, I have finally relocked the bootloader. But just to make sure, how can I check If my bootloader is locked or unlocked? Thanks

Dial *#*#7378423#*#* service info>cofiguration.If it says bootloader unlocked allowed : yes then it's locked, if bootloader unlocked : yes then it's unlocked.
One qeustion by my side: After relocking the bootloader, is it posiible when you send it to the servis to be detected that the bootloader has been unlocked (or maybe that the device has been rooted) previously? I have relocked the bootloader and done repair with Pc companion so everything is like before well.....except that before i did a root with flashtool and didn't knew that the stock firmware isn't rootable like that and i lost 3G!!!!!!...now i must set to 2g in order to get signal coz i get with 3g weak signal and when i make a call it drops off. That's why i want to send it to the service

Did you flash the .ftf file with Flashtool properly? It worked on me perfectly, was able to lock the bootloader without problems.

No i didn't try to relock it and i'm sorry for the misunderstanding..
What i was trying to say is that if i reflash my phone to stock ROM with stock KERNEL and take it to service how will they know that it's unlocked?
If they try the known dial *#*#7378423#*#* method my devise says : bootloader unlocked allowed : yes

I knew that your post had nothing to do with relocking patrida If you unlocked your phone with sony's official method you loose your DRM even if you relock it.Now, about the service, i highly doubt they gonna search if you unlocked it but i can't swear about that.There is also another method unlocking your phone without loosing DRM but didn't tried it and i don't know if they can detect it or not
T3sla said:
... you loose your DRM even if you relock it...

Now i get it.. you loose your DRM the exact time you ask them to provide you unlock code!
So,no matter what you do afterwards they allready know which device is unlocked and which is not.. sosta thessalonikie mou??
My phone is unlocked with the "other" method and let's hope that i'll never have to take it to them and wonder if they detect it or not!!!
My phone now is locked and to check if your bootloader is locked or not, download S1tool. Open S1tool and click "Identify" and then follow the onscreen instructions. When your phone's information comes up it will say "R(some numbers and letters)". If you have a capital R means your bootloader is locked, if you have a small r means your bootloader is unlocked.

You lose DRM, if you unlock via fastboot using official method. When DRM is gone, it is completely gone, currently there is no way of getting it back.

Can you guys please tell me what this "other" method is? The one by which you can unlock a Xperia Mini without loosing DRM.

Hi bro, why and how did you restore your bootloader? Seem lots of similar cases
Try to unlock again. And try to reflash Stock Rom with SEUS. You don't have to relock bootloader to flash Stock Rom, in what guide, which you follow, you read that?

Nope, donut HD can be flashed on locked/unlocked bootloader, u should know this.
The reason why i asked u how is : some users relock
their bootloader improperly, and it could brick the phone permanently.

Flash stock rom using flash tool. If you can't get flash mode in normal way try this. Take off battery, connect USB to phone, pc, hold back button, insert battery. Good luck.

I'm really glad to heared that bro .
To unlock and restore our bootloader we need to
refert to Stock Rom and Kernel ( Official stock),
This is really safe and eassiest way, btw we absolutely no need to restore our bootloader unless for warranty purpose.
Congrate buddy
I bought this device in Canada, The provider is Bell.
My bootloader is locked. And following the Sony steps.. It says it won't unlock.
In device, tap Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. Bootloader unlock allowed says No,
All my favorite apps won't work properly without root.
If anyone figures a way to root it.. I'll give you $100.
01-
Unlock bootloader
Root - via cwm with supersu flashable zip
Flash totaly stock kernel
Relock

Or flash a prerooted FTF but im too lazy to make one

$100.... it's sounds good? Okay from my experience I bought my XperiaZ from Australian Telco before and it said Bootloader unlock allowed:No
but when I flashed official generic ftf using flashtool. It's said Bootloader Unlock allowed:Yes. So if you can take a risk try it(do it by your own! and don't forget to back up!)... you might try to do that. Luckly my XperiaZ2 is bootloader allowed one. Hope I have a chance to get 100bucks

This is very dangrous, this depends on the contents of the FTF and i wouldent recoment this at al
Have you tried flashing the German DE generic FTF, i think it has stuff for the TA partition
This may do your job
I still dont recomend, do this at your own will if you know how to unbrick a device
Although i would try it but only because i know how to unbrick a xperia (lol this part usualy takes a while)

I noticed him that it must be done by his own.... But he asks us to is there are anyway to do that? so I just posted the way I did.
I am not recommending him to do that.... I just simply answered his question. Always flash ftf w/o TA and partition.
It is recommended everywhere and If once he started to searching about flash tool it is warned by everyone.
You can't back up TA partition w/o root. So I don't think there is any way to get XperiaZ2 to back to completely stock.
(Although i would try it but only because ←What does it mean? It doesn't make sense for me.)
Well, I tried to flash the stock FTF.. same version as my devices. It errored.. and I am now bricked.
You can't modify an FTF and flash it to a bootloader locked device, modifying it will break Sony's signature verification
I'm guessing there's no way to unbrick?

How i unbrick my devices usualy (if they are locked bootloader)
Pt1
Unplug device totaly
Hold power
Hold volume up
Wait for it to buzz 3 times in a row
(rubber bands usualy help)
(ensure battery isnt killed from doing this (low charge)
(aka dont leave rubber bands for several hours)
Pt2
Download and install sony PC companion
Go to support
Go to repair device
Folow instructions

You'll need to find Sony's signing key then. Good luck with that
Aww.... We warned you.... it must be done by your own and not recommended. Try SEUS.... (Not sure if it works for yours....
Everything what you've done with flashtool will be avoid your warranty..... I think when you downloaded flashtool they warned you again....
As EnviousData warned you too.... even I did not recommended to do that.... dear....
Ok, I managed to unbrick.. back to bootloader unlock allowed: No
Still.. If you guys have any ideas how to root.. $100.

Honestly i say keep your $$$ and wait for a exploit or root method of sorts
Me and my FTF will be a while and Z2 Development has started very slow and may be a while before anything of the sorts comes avaliable
I suggest if you realy want to root try exchanging your device for an unlocked one (or unlockable :/)

Hello everyone. Seriously need help here with a xperia z ultra c6883. I bought it off someone and tried to do an update from the phone but it keeps saying 14.3.A.0.757 could not verify. FYI, I checked to see if bootloader is locked and it says yes. I downloaded rootchecker and it says device not rooted. I dont know where to turn. i just want to be at stock.
android version says- 4.4.2
baseband version says -8974-AAAAANAZQ-10270045-39
kernel version says - 3.4.0-perf-g8c33725
[email protected] #1
build number says_ 14.3.A.0.681
What does this all mean? Am I rooted? Do I have an unlocked bootloader? Can I just go back to stock? Or is it easier to just upgrade to lollipop?
Try locking the boot loader and then connect to Sony PCC and redo the phone.

you can use flashtool (http://flashtool.net) to relock the bootloader, but if you download flashtool you may as well just use that to update the ZU to the latest FTF from here (see the FTF thread in the dev section)
Is there a how to video on the process? Ive read things like ( I need to know what rom im using or drm keys etc etc) Dont know what to do.

In the FTF thread there is a video
As you brought the ZU already bootloader unlocked the DRM keys are gone (unless the last owner still has the backup). Just flashing a FTF doesn't relock the bootloader, you have to use the BLU icon in flashtool. The BL does't have to be locked to flash a FTF but it does to get/use the updates directly from Sony.
Any more Q's just ask
Ok thank you for the info. If you dont mind I might hit you up tommorrow for more Q's.
Im a root user. I would to know if blocking the BL again i can update my firmware from PC companion.
