Excuseme.....I have a little problem...
I did the procedure to relock the bootloader on my Xperia mini pro .. sk17i to use seus .. but the phone will not turn on ..
But the file is also relockbootloader for this phone?
I guess that you have flashed the insecure boot.img, which cannot boot the phone with the looked bootloader.

What do U mean ?
I made the test ... relocking my bootloader and SEUS told me I have got the last FW without the possibilities to re-install it !
I can't use TrackID for example...

It was told that you will loose drm forever, so no trackid
That means when we flash the kernel, we loose something from SE ...
Could we make a complete copy of the nand before flashing it for restoring later if needed ?
same
on sues it says, could not find any firmware for your device, but i have relocked bootloader
any ideas
firmware uk
the reason i wanted to use seus was to get the firmware downloaded, so i could root it, because the firmwares on here have foreign apps that werent on my phone when i got it from shop

[Q] relocked bootloader... still can't update OTA or SEUS or PCC
hey,
relocked my bootloader, am still rooted on my sk17,
am on stock kernel and ...58 firmware.
(SEUS, PCcompanion)... none offer me any update. they say i've no update to install..
OTA is available on my sk17 but afraid to go for it
neep help

How can you have OTA files if SEUS is not working?
restore the DRM
Can I restore the DRM keys by relocking bootloader via flashtool?
if I can't do it that way, shall I still hope that it is possible to do somehow?

Hi All,
Recently got an xperia s, and to be honest been having a few issues with it, i.e memory probs connecting to pc, and yellow tint on screen.
Stupidly prior to checking everything as always I jumped and unlocked the BL, and installed a custom kernel and rom, XSX and K10 ICS.
I had also prior to this updated to ICS via sony. Problem is now I realised that it has the yellow tint at the bottom of the screen so prior to sending it back to sony I want to relock BL and install stock ICS again and stock kernel.
Please can someone show me a link to this I'm in UK and have a factory unlocked version, I have tried to search but I am confused to which one I need, I also cannot find any kernel.
Finally they are all FTF files and I need to be in Flashmode to use these, unfortunately for some reason my phone will not stay in flashmode green light for more than a few minutes and it just boots up so I dont want to start flashing only for it to stop in between and brick my phone any ideas?.
BTW I managed to install fastboot drivers in windows 8 I know some people had problems in windows 7 & 8, I found a solution if anyone needs
Thanks
Mav.
So simple ^^
1st You need to relock your BL via Flashtool by using This http://j.mp/xps_relock
From here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1527159
And when it's done, just update your phone normally via SEUS (Sony Update Service)

Thanks jvsykes,
I thought that you had to first have a stock kernel installed prior to relocking your BL otherwise it would brick your phone, I read it somewhere, I would prefer to have a stock kernel and stock firmware then relock the BL, then possibly put it through SEUS to make sure everything is right.
you dont need to relock the BL for yellow tint issue, the custom roms have nothing to do with it, ive sent my phone back twice unlocked bl and custom fw and its been fixed twice without question

Aha,Well just Flash Stock Firmware via Flashtool [ http://depositfiles.com/files/130eommqj ] [FIRMWARE][6.1.A.0.452] Nordic combined
From here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599303
It will replace your Rom and kernel,after that you can Relock your BL ..
Thanks guys, I really appreciate your help.
Isnt the firmware link rooted?, if so unlocking BL more thank likely will brick it so i've read, also when I go to download it asks for a mob number dont really fancy that?
Dont really want to risk sending away if BL is locked anarchyuk, although i know by right they should fix it.
Thanks

But its not a UK stock, I've managed to use flashtool to install 6.1.a.0.453, but of course thats not officlally our yet so if i sent it in they would know at some point its been rooted to install this rom.
just cant find UK unrooted official 6.1.a.0.452 in FTF or ZIP/RAR format.
Ok just found this

its a uk generic [6.0.A.3.75]
I can flash this, then relock BL, then use SEUS to update to stock 6.1.A.4.52
Does that seem correct?, or will I have probs?
Also the file I would be using to relock BL is called X10_V1_BLRelock.ftf is this correct?
Thanks

Reflash the stock firmware then the bootloader lock. Also look in development section for Xperia s Relock. It is called that not the X10 one.

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.

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
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.

$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 :/)

hi,
I started this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/help/upgrading-55-to-314-t2860394
but ran into an issue. Since I didn't get any updates on that thread, I thought I would make a post dedicated to the problem I'm running into.
basically while attempting to upgrade to .314 using PC Companion I get
The phone tablet contains modified software that cannot be updated
Sony Updated Engine failure (error 2003)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
with some research it appears that this is because i unlocked my bootloader.
Questions:
is my conclusion correct? or is this because of something else?
if correct, what is the recommended course of action here? relock bootloader and update using companion PC or decrypt FTF files and flash using flashtool?
If i relock bootloader using flashtool, will it wipe my phone data?
I've found the firmware files on my computer (C:\ProgramData\Sony Mobile\Update Engine\db\13740270\blob_fs) If i decrypt these with flashtool and use them to update firmware, will it wipe my data?
Thanks
You can update via flashtool without looking data. Flash ftf file and check system only and uncheck wipe. Re- locking bootloader will wipe your phone. Your assumption is correct m8. You can't update your phone with pc companion because of your unlocked bootloader. Happy flashing m8
