When is it coming ? Jan the 31st ....So today ?ok Not today but weeks later http://www.xperiablog.net/2013/01/3...oming-firmware-version-9-1-a-0-489-certified/ better late then never though I wouldn't expect never for such a new phone that would be just ridiculous

Just out of interest, when an FTF file becomes available, could you then flash it with flashtool on a stock ICS locked bootloader?
Judging by past firmware updates, it's taken 2/3 months for Orange to push an update.

Yes, or you could flash the 303 generic UK and ota to current. You'll then get jelly when Sony says not ee.

I wonder how I flashed my V with its locked bootloader to Xperia VL's firmware using Flashtool, then.
All you need is matching signatures, and all similar models share them.

Yes good news

Sorry but you've got that wrong, you can use flashtool to flash an official ftf onto a phone with a locked bootloader, I've done it loads of times with my xperia's. In essence if your locked to a network orange, t-mobile ect then you can get the region generic ftf and flash it with flashtool to debrand your phone
What you can't do is flash custom ROMs which require a custom kernel.

Thanks for the responses guys, I thought it would be possible, the only reason I ask is that I've flashed ICS firmwares to the T in the past, but wasn't sure with it being a different version of the OS.

Please read before continuing to facepalm yourself.
Flashtool does not require your bootloader to be unlocked. It also does not even you require your phone ot be rooted.
Flashtool can be used on any xperia phone regardless. It does not require fastboot

And what does fastboot have to do with flashtool?
The original question was "Can an ftf be flashed with flashtool onto a phone with a locked bootloader" and the answer is yes.

Wait...we have a bootloader unlock for TL on ATT?

So this is 4.1? I got the update in sony bridge, but updating means I lose my root right? (locked bootloader)

Yes when you update to different firmware you will lost the root privilege

Not always, there are ways around it. But in general yes.
Once the new firmware hits users with locked bootloaders we will see if we lose root, but then we will also find a way to root the newfirmware or find a way to update that does not lose root.

have a few questions

Hi guys,
I have two questions I know it's dumb questions but before someone start storming out on me I did my homework and read all the guides
where can I find the link for flash tool the beta version for xperia z? I already downloaded flashtool 9.10.1 from http://androxyde.github.com/index.html?1363257252000 and checked this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2162907 but I am not sure if its the same one as I tried to replace x10flasher.jar with the one in thread but after that the flash tool wont start and besides I saw a pic of flash tool beta version and its different from mine it only had 3 icons (flash,blu, and other icon I forgot its name) where mine has 7 icons. and my xperia z has a locked bootloader ( not allowed to unlock the bootloader) is there anyway to unlock it and thanks

We all have the same flashtool from the thread you mentioned above.
No you cannot unlock the bootloader if your status=no

You posted the same thread across 3 different forum sections. This is against XDA rules and is considered generally rude in any forum.

You have to first use flashtool to flash it.
Once you've flashed it with one of the generic firmware for C6603 or C6602 depending on your model, you will be able to boot into the stock firmware for android.
You'll then have to root it using goroh's root exploit and then flash either cwm or twrp again. For cwm and twrp, if you have a locked bootloader, you have to use the locked bootloader versions instead.
After that, you can then proceed to flash the rom of your preference again but before that, i suggest doing a nandroid backup.
