You don't need unlocked bootloader, to flash FTF file. Where have you seen or read it?
Just download correct FTF file and use Flashtool to flash it with Flashmod.
This is the steps, see it from Part 3:

will this work when Downgrading .. not Upgrading ??
will it not unlock the bootloader if i'm downgrading ?
Yes, of course, the flash process is the same, when downgrading.
You will not unlock automatically when downgrading.

If u don't relock bl don't forget to relock before sending back to Sony (your warranty will be voided) if not though, u may aswell leave it unlocked

I have a xperia mini pro with unlocked bootloader and nerodroid rom. Now I want to turn back to the stock rom and re-lock the bootloader. Can you tell me which is the easiest way to do that?
*When i unlocked the bootloader I said "ok I will flash the stock rom with Wotanserver when ics will be released"(I know ics has not been released yet) And now I see that I have to pay to flash the stock rom with Wotan
**Sorry for my bad english;$
***Have I to follow this guide?

I recommand to download flashtool -> download .ftf file to relock BL -> flash with flashmode -> then update phone with SEUS (not PC Companion).
EDIT:
Many times (about 6 xD ) I use this method to relocking BL and flashing back to stock with SEUS.
OH.. I'm not responsible for any damages... Just for safety

yeah, back to stock den flash any ROM yhu wish to use via CWM!
I think PCC will not update/restore firmware because when unlock BL with fastboot damage DRM so PCC will not provide firmware.
I read this on the formu, but can't remember the thread name and I'm not sure that is true. Also I don't try restore via PCC.
is sure use SEUS to go back to stock kernel?
sorry my english
yhu can try SEuS but i know for sure PCC will work too provided BL is locked.....!

I wrote I'm not sure it's true so if it work with PCC then it work with PCC.

Hi guys!
Few days ago before flashing custom Kernel and ROM i made Sony Xperia Mini Pro stock .ftf file (using tutorial somewhere in forum) when bootloader was locked. Now i have a question:
Can i use that .ftf file now when my bootloader is unlocked? If not, what i should to do? Edit .ftf file or something?
Thanks for answers.
With respect, Ciziokas.

hi, im a bit of a noob at this unlocking bootloader stuff. Anyway, i unlocked my bootloader and put doomkernel on D6503 Z2. i want to relock my bootloader and remove doomkernel. i read this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45496437&postcount=2 . I dont get what it means by "before u relock bootloader u have to be on pure stock kernel (flash only the kernel.sin using flashtool)". Where can i get the pure stock kernel and how do i flash it with flashtool?
thanks.
