Hi I've got 2 questions.
1. I've for some time had an unlocked bootloader on my Z and I've installed another ROM, PAC man, but now when I plugged in my device to Sony PC Companion I get a message that I've got an new firmware available, shouldn't PCC recognized the phone as unrecognizable?
Sorry that it's in swedish but translated it stands: An update of the phone's/tablets firware is available

}
A new version of the phone's/tablet's firmware is available
(10.1.1.A.1.253)
Bla bla bla
Click Update to start the updateguide.
2. I was wondering if there are any problem to install/update to .253 using PCC when on unlocked bootloader and another ROM? If I ever want to restore, could I use this instead of my .ftf if I want to factory reset it too, as an alternative to Flashtool?
Thanks

My experience is that PCC says there is an update for my device, which of course there is, but it wont update when I tried with unlocked bootloader .

Let me know when it does . No really you will be fine.
You will have a message:your phone has a modified software and the update will not carry on.
You can go back to stock by using emma,it's only for unlocked bootloader or of course with flashtool.
To use pcc or sus update's capabilities you will have to flash a stock rom and relock the bootloader with flashtool(no need for TA).

Yepp after downloading all files, then when I put the phone in flash mode it told me that the firmware were modified but I did at least get an ftf from it ( @DevShaft )

I wanted to update phone to jelly beand through pc companion and when it was on like 50% i get error message and phone turned off and now i cant turn it on again. There is no bootlogo and nothing volume+ and power not helping and repair with PCC and SEUS is not detecting phone. I get somthing like qhsusb_dload driver not found... I cant flash rom with flashtool...
So if u know what to do please tell me cuz i just bought phone yesterday...
volume up and power for long enough to get 3 vibrations? Try that
Secondly have you tried to get into flashmode?
Run flashtool, drag and drop a ftf into its open window, wait untill flashtool prompts you then attach in flashmode
tried both nothing works. i already sent phone and thy said that i need more than 50% battery and full operator signal to complete the update and i cant lose signal for 1 sec or update fail...
Leave the phone on wall charger for 24 hours and don't update OTA.
Try to put the battery out and put it back after 30 seconds or 1 minute.

I would send it back if you still have warranty rather than open the case

Flashtools at 30% when copy system.ini frozen there and dont start to copy
Use Sony Update Service (download from Sony website). Perhaps this works
Edit: Did you come from a other ROM? Locked or unlocked bootloader?
If your device is stock try using a different USB cable i also couldn't flash or even root when I bought this phone it turned out to be the USB cable!!
If you got unlocked bootloader PC companion or sus will not work.

SUS dont have Xperia Sp in list at me in romania
That is not true and weird:
If this does not work at all just open PC companion > Check for updates > Restore your phone or tablet.
Perhaps this will do..

I'm trying to unlock the bootloader of my C6603 and I keep getting errors or bootloops. My bootloader can be unlocked according to the attached screen.
I tried with Minimal ADB and I'm getting bootloops and with Sony Bootloader Unlock it's failing, according to this pic:

Drivers are installed correctly.
What's the catch?
Try using the fastboot package provided by DooMLoRD in his thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2153261
Also, the unlock key they send you is case sensitive, so double check what you're entering.

I tried with DL's method and just tried with FT. STILL getting BOOTLOOPS !
Try flashing a stock FTF with full wipe, then try again.
Also, I just noticed that your IMEI number is in your screenshot. I would remove it from the image if I were you.

Tried it. Still getting bootloops.
Then I can't think of anything else apart from trying a different USB cable/port or PC, but that probably won't make any difference.
When I unlocked my bootloader it worked straight away with no problems.

It worked on my XS. Looks like this one is a mystery.
Edit: CLEAN flashed it and tried an other port. Worked. Thanks for the suggestion!
You're welcome.

As I remember, flashing an unlocked-BL phone won't relock it, right? I'd like to relock it after gaining root on the .569.
That's correct.

Don't forget to backup your TA before you unlock the bootloader. Otherwise you'll loose your DRM keys forever and won't be able to re lock your bootloader

I encounter this error when trying to update to latest firmware for my Z1. I have a locked bootloader.
I already tried restarting my PC, re-installing PC companion, but to no avail. Please help!
P.S. PC companion is actually finished downloading the update and it is now at the point where I believe it should update the phone.
same problem here in Indonesian region

I think you should wait for the ftf file and flashed it through flashtool.

Hello all,
I am on the French version of firmware .761 and on doom kernel with unlocked bootloader. I have been notified of a firmware update to the same version I'm on. See attached photo. Does anyone know if it would be safe to update over the air perhaps if I flash stock kernel back as it's similar firmware?
Cheers,
Lunar.

SUS or PCComapnion will not work with an unlocked bootloader, so no need to worry about that
OTA updates will not brick the device, it just causes problems, and may result in a soft brick (Which is not really a brick at all because its fixable)
