[Q]Unlocked bootloader, still getting PCC updates?

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 get this error when trying to update to latest version. I have a locked boot loader and have the latest stock rom 14.1.G.2.257
specific model: C6903
First an update was detected, then it was downloaded by PC companion, then when it was ready to update, it shuts the phone down and after loading for a few seconds, it shows this error.
Any suggestion how do I fix this

That's not an error, it just is not available for you yet.
Flash a FTF or wait.

That is an error. PC Companion already notified me that my device has an update when I plugged it in, and it already downloaded the update. If you read my whole post you would know. So during the time when PC Companion is supposed to update my phone after downloading the update, it just shows this error. Good thing I was able to solve this on my own.
Solution: (at least what I did)
Uninstall PC Companion
Re-install PC companion (get installer from Sony site)
restarted my PC
plugged my phone to PC
checked for update (via PC companion)
downloaded the update (via pc companion)
and it worked like it normally should...
I hope this helps others with similar problem

Or you can use sus
Had the same problem, called Sony Xperia care center here in Denmark and they told. Me to use sus.
I did that and no problem with that

I just flashed mine right now. You just need Classic Flashtool and this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2572195
Run smooth like hell. I testing right now. I love flash and burn my phones.

If I wasnt able to solve this problem through PC Companion, SUS would probably be my next move. btw will SUS delete my files / game saves etc or it will just update my phone just like I used PC companion?

Beat it ....
Its just Your Firewall given you the pain make it off for a while... that's it...

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.

If its a network locked phone you will have to put the original operator sim(the number that the phone is registered to) to activate the phone.

He can't, I must do this official way, so I will send them back phone and tell there is no signal. He say they will flash ROM again and do activation. Maybe if I please, they give me Central Europe CE1 soft, not this crappy Orange.

this file (LT18i_4.0.A.2.0.62) don't flash :S

Well, from what I can see, your phone is f*cked. It seems your flash memory is dead (however I might be wrong), since nothing flashes.
And, you can always try the older version of Flashtool to check if it works (that is the one I'm personally using since the newest doesn't work for me).

Maybe you have reason! However, the older version don't recognise the file (LT18i_4.0.A.2.0.62.ftf) I want flash it file but I can't!
This version only recognise the file .587
