hi all
i have unlocked the bootloader and still get updates.. i have never had this before... on my other phones.
do you recieve it also ? and do you update... without facing problems? i will not update the firmware when it comes to that.... but apps like album etc...
thanks in advance and have a good weekend
Unlocking the bootloader doesn't stop notifications, but Update Service or PC Companion WILL NOT update anything, you will get a message about modified software and then the program refuses to update.

You cannot. Application can be updated but not the System, after unlocking Booloader the only yours friend is Flashtool, to update to latest Firmware.

It should do. Please tell us the error you get. However, if you are trying to flash that ftf file you do not do it in pccompanion, you need flashtool
problem still comes
iam flashing with no problems with flashtool, and the ftf works fine on my phone, then i take it to sony pc companion and trying to update it with it.
then i get an error that custom firmware is installed

OK, if you have unlocked your bootloader you can no longer use pccompanion.
That would have been explained when you went through the process of unlocking the bootloader.
is it possible to lock it somehow again?

yes, search for relock bootloader xperia v
But your warrenty is void anyway now.
found one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2092227
found one, and seems like it works.
*#*#7378423#*#* says that it is "Bootloader unlock allowed - Yes"
and it is now updating, think it works
thank you alot!
now i can finally get sony to repair my screen that they destroyed when i send it to them

Probably not. You have voided your warrenty when you unlocked and relocking the bootloader willnot hide that fact.
You gave them your IMEI number when you unlocked, and you modified your trim area (That's why you lost drm keys) and relocking does not restore the TA.
PS, No need to say thanks in a post, just use the button.
oh okay, so it didn't really matter that i reset it to factory, they will still just give me the same message...
damn Sony, i will never buy a phone from them again...
seriusly they destroyed my phone at their repair service, but now i just have to argue with them, don't think that XDA can help me with this anymore then done now.

well if sony broke the screen you may have a case to get them to fix it.
But it is very clearly stated that you lose warrenty when unlocking the bootloader. I think all carriers do the same (If they let you unlock at all, Sony are very good at this and this is why they have been voted xda's OEM of the year for the past few years because they are so Dev friendly)
You just need to read the fine print a bit more carefully I think
well i dont think that it's too clearly stated, when they write that you may void the warrenty, it doesn't say that i void the warrenty, only that i may void it.
hmm yearh, Sony isn't that bad at all, and their products work...
well think it will be alot easier now to talk with Sony about the problem now.
is there some way i should mark this thread as solved?
hmm now i get a new bug after i did this...
I can't install apps from google store, getting error 403.

I've recently flashed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448613 and was just wondering can I still update via Pc companion/SEUS to new firmwares/updates without losing the kernel, root etc...like will it replace the kernel with a stock one?
I'm a noob at Flashing and search didn't really answer my question.
If you have unlocked your bootloader by the official method at unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com, then you can not use PC Companion or SEUS to update firmware.

From what you said, I understand that there is an unofficial way to unlock the bootloader and still be able to use PC Companion and SEUS to update firmware?

If your bootloader is unlocked, there is no way to use pc companion or seus to update firmware unless you relock it
Thankyou for the replies, I might try to relock my bootloader. I unlocked it through the official Sony method.

Not as far as I know. Older Xperia models had test point method, but Z1 does not have this option.

Has someone actually ruled this out? I mostly hear that people with LB go swap their phones or just make sure they're getting a UB phone in the first place. The main complication I see is compromising the waterproof gasket...

Unlocking bootloader doesn't have anything to do with waterproofness, it's something done using a computer.

Obviously. In order to access test points, the back cover will have to be removed. The back cover uses tape/gasketing to enforce waterproofing. My question was about whether someone has actually looked into a testpoint unlock yet for the XZ1.

You can always use Pccompanion if you are rooted, just not if you unlocked the bootloader.

Therefore I just want to use my phone in unroot status, but I found that the camera cannot normal work, it is not clear to shot the text.
Can I restore the camera normally work after flash stock rom FTF? :crying:

Eff, I can't post links. Open youtube and find my vid: "sony xperia z3+ camera focus bug #xda"

Stock via Flashtool, Companion repair, clear camera cache -- doesn't help.

It's strange. No, seriously, it's actually strange.
My Z3+ was a non-unlockable device (see the first attachment, it's a screenshot I took the first time I booted the phone), I installed several OTAs (it came out of the box with Android 5.0) so it was actually locked.
Now, tired because I didn't received the 6.0.1 update on my phone (on both Xperia Companion, which replied always with a connection error, and OTA), I checked the bootloader status. Ta-da, unlocked. How could it be possible? I actually did nothing, also it was non-unlockable, so I can't really explain myself what happened.
And also...how can I now receive updates? I can't remain on 6.0 forever. Thanks. And sorry for my bad english.
Up! Anyone?

This happened to me but not magically
I just flashed my phone which was at no after flashing it said yes.
I used xperifirm and flashtool.
Don't worry you can still get updates but only through flashing.

Uh, I tried to use Flashtool when I had a trouble with camera focus, but it failed and I had to repair it via Xperia Companion (and if it worked, so bootloader was still locked). Do you think is this?

Well I never used xperia companion, but flashtool always worked for me, I nearly flashed 7 times due to many issues like boot freeze, locked bl and in my final attempt both my bl was unlocked and the boot freeze problem was gone.
I flashed the last stock CE1 using Flashtool, now my bootloader is again locked and non unlockable. I'm not understanding...
CE1
