i tried flashing my phone like in the guide but now my phone just says mobile network not available, i currently live in egypt if its a region problem with the ftf but i cant seem to know what it is, i tried C6903_14.1.G.1.534_1277-2880_R4A.ftf and global and they both wouldnt let me use it, and i unlocked the boot loader
You will always lose signal when flashing back down to 534, you will get it back when you upgrade

Bang, you have root!

How kan i install recovery or cwm with bootloader locked.
My statu for unlocked bootloader is : no
Do You have one way to install this please
Sent from my LT30p using xda app-developers app
I don't think there is currently a way to do that. If you were to flash an unbranded firmware onto the phone would that allow you to unlock the bootloader (allowing installation of CWM)? I can't unlock my bootloader due to my PC being broken.

I'm waiting for a solution as well. it should not be that hard as they have a solution for the xperia s with a locked bootloader.
maybe some very wise and helpful dev can port cwm for us xperia t owners with locked bootloaders.

Flashing unbranded firmware will not allow you to unlock the bootloader if you currently cannot unlock it.
Well, no promises of any kind, but there is that one user which claims that after updating to 3.195 the bootloader status changed from non-unlockable to unlockable.
I have to stress out, I cannot confirm nor explain this and I do not propose that anybody tries this.
But we all know where this is going, right...? Sic...

Its safe to try, as long as you have a .ftf made from your original rom or are prepared to flash one the .303 .ftf's found in the all in one thread
I've flash one week later the 3.195 and my statue dont change.

For people with the lock bootloader cant you unlock it through the official Sony site? i thought Sony allows you to unlock bootloaders on their devices...

Sony does, but some carriers (Especially AT&T) block it.

You can ask, but I bet they say no.
up to date, any method to unlock it?
Seriously?
I also have this problem, the boot loader is locked and I need to install the recovery. Prompt really working bootloader unlock method, none of the methods I did not ride. Through the website Sony have an error occurs, full of requests to install the update file, it weighs 1.5 gigabytes. I do not have as much Internet traffic to download it.
Currenty is possible if you are both rooted and in FW 303. Try this.
Somewhere I read on XDA that we need to Lock the BL before flashing the Stock FTF?? :silly: Is it true?
I never did this with my arc... Many times I flashed the stock ftf without locking the BL everytime..

With locked BL, u can use pc companion only to restore the phone to stock Rom.
With unlocked BL, u can use flash tool only to flash ftf files.

Right.. Once we unlock bootloader and try to get any OTA or update via PC Companion/SUS, we'll end up bricking ur phone.. So in this case, we need to Relock the BL. But to flash an FTF via flashtool, we need not relock the BL. Just wanted to refresh my knowledge after reading that post...
Flashtool can be used for locked and unlocked bootloader.

Hey guys I have a rooted Xperia Sp(C5302). We know that our device is gonna get the 4.3 official update next month. My question is can we update to the official 4.3 even after having root or will it cause a problem.

As said above, root is no problem with PC Companion.
However, if you unlock the bootloader, no update whatsoever (PC Comp, OTA). After bootloader unlock only Flashtool /Emma will let you flash new ROM/updates.

Hi , so if i Relock the boot loader i will be able to use ota rite?
which is the safest method to Reload the Boot loader
I am using BL Unlocked Rooted Stock Rom ,
I think Sony stated on their unlock website that once you unlock the boot loader there's no way to relock. Check out unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com

If you backed up your DRM keys with TA-backup you should be able to relock if you didn't you are kinda screwed

No, you cannot use Pccompanion to update software with an unlocked bootloader. It downloads the files but then stops with a warning saying you have modified the software (i.e rooted the bootloader) and then aborts

Thanks. I wasn't sure about this as my old xperia play barely got any software updates. Duh. It was released with Android 2.3.3 and left at 2.3.7. Since the Z1 is really powerful and custom kernels don't really give that much of improvements or actually useful features (d2tw drains the battery like crazy) then I decided to stay on stock kernel with LB to keep bionz and other stock features.
I have a rooted Sony ZR 5502, it keeps telling me there's 10.5.1.A.0.283 update available.
I don't want a custom ROM. How do I proceed with updating with official SONY image? Is there a way? I can download it from Sony but not sure where it gets downloaded to.
I tried to read some threads here but there's so much info I get lost. PLease help.
Have you locked or unlocked bootloader?
You can use flashtool, regardless of locked or unlocked bootloader. If it is locked, then the update center, as far as I know, works. I used update center for my locked but rooted zr and even retained root.
