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

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 just tried to run repair my phone through the sony pc companion. it detected my phone ok and downloaded the firmware. When it tried to install the firmware it failed saying my phone was running modified software and couldn't update. Is this because I unlocked my bootloader?
If it is, is their a way around the problem?

Forget about unlocking the bootloader, its not possible. No over/under-clock for you, no CyanogenMod or other goodies.
All carrier branded phones are locked and almost impossible to unlock.

is there chance to have -Bootloader Unlock Allowed: No - when my phone is from shop ? ( not from carrier, not branded)
I think that it's not the matter of branded/not branded etc. beacuse I've seen bootloader unlock allowed: yes after I rooted and installed CWM and TWRP; today I've reverted rooting via SPC and the bootloader unlock allowed is back on: no; so I think someone has to look through it to see if you can override it...

I doubt the Sony bootloader will be cracked any time soon as the Xperia T was never cracked and thats a much older device.
Unfortunately that means no custom kernels/CyanogenMod.
If you buy a factory unlocked device the bootloader will be unlockable/carrier branded devices may be locked and not unlock able.. Pretty simple really.
Sorry that I can't help much.
Un-lock Xpeia SP
If you Un-lock the Xperia SP for all Networks, does this make bootloader Unlock available?
If not, any Ideas why?

Nope. SIM-UNLOCK is separate to bootloader unlock.
It just doesn't.
On some old xperia phones you could open sim and bootloader like xperia arc if you used test point method to unlock sim it unlocked boot loader as well.
2013 xperia models that don't have removable battery are no longer able to use test point so you can't unlock boot loader or sim.
To unlock sim you need code which you cab buy from internet.
To unlock bootloader you need to contact your airtime provider and see if they will help in unlocking bootloader again this needs code but not freely available.

I have C6906 from Bell and i can't wait for bell to release 4.3
can i just flash unbranded 257 using flash tool
and use pc companion to update to 290?
my phone is not sim unlocked yet / never touched boot-loader / didn't even bother rooting it.
I am still on stock 534
thanks in advance guys
yes
As Greg already said - yes.
Branded version is same ROM but without a craps from your carrier.
So, not only you'll be able to flash it without any problems but you'll be very happy when you see that your phone is little bit faster and "cleaner".
Also, if you want to unlock SIM lock (if it's available on your device), you can do that by simple code order via Internet.

I've got the same phone from bell. First thing I did was flash an unbranded ROM. Bell has a few bloat apps that I hate. Best part is if you flash unbranded you don;t need to wait for updates. I got my update through PC Companion the day it was released.
Search the forums please.

I'm also on Bell with a c6906 and have done exactly what you are asking about and you will be fine. In case you didn't know we can't unlock our bootloader so the fix in 4.3 does not benefit us. Still 4.3 is a great update, loving the phone regardless.

Losing IMEI and SIM not accepted problems happen when you downgrade, not update.
Hi Guys,
My C6603 is acting up like crazy, I have reset the phone using emma from Sony, so the stock rom is on it now.
But the phone is randomly turning off without using the charger, when the charger is attached, no problem at all, I can do anything, but without charger, I start the camera app and the phone turns off, cant turn on the phone anymore till I have attached the charger. When its loaded up, battery says 90%. Even after a night of charging it wont stay stable without the charger.
Does anyone can help me with this problem?
I have a unlocked bootloader, could that be the problem?
Thnx in advance.
In first hand, having locked or unlocked bootloader has nothing to do with your problem.
Most likely sounds as a ser software problem

That is completly true, I WAS on a locked bootloader.
What I did today to try and fix it was locking the bootloader and using PCC to repair the phone, that worked, but still had the problems. So in the meantime I have locked to bootloader.
Sorry, but PCC doesn't touch the bootloader, so if you can flash with it, was in fact unlocked, and another thing is that software says...
Actually, PCC neither SEUS doesn't work with unlocked bootloaders, you have to flash an unlocked bootloader phone with Emma or Flashtool.

Not sure if I follow you.
I had a problem, I was on the unlocked bootloader at that time.
I have try to repair my phone with Emma, cause when I tried with PCC it said, cant do that cause of custom software. Emma did work and I reinstalled stock firmware. That didn't solve the problem, so I have locked my bootloader with flashtool and tried to recover the phone with PCC, at that time it did work, so the bootloader is locked again.
It did reinstall my phone, but still had the same problems. That is when I went back to the store.
Let's take one at a time.
Relocking bootloader with Flashtool doesn't restore the TA partition, wich on where your DRM Keys are stored. Unique for each unit.
You should have backed up the TA partition prior to unlock it.
You have them lost forever, and it is one thing that any service man would look for.
If they aren't present, means that you MAYBE installed custom software, and they can claim void your warranty.
Look for TA backup thread next time
