There are 4 answers already, please follow them, I never said to use flashtool to flash 534 FW, I said to use flashtool to relock your bootloader
Repair your phone using pccompanion. If the bootloader is unlocked then it wont work, and it will tell you.
If it is locked then it will work and you will be on a factory shipped latest firmware.
I'm on. 257 repairing thru pc companion

So, I've rooted and installed CWM.
And I've tried to install the JB AOSP. After installing, my phone does not turn on. When I long press the power button, the phone vibrates but that's it. Which has me thinking that it's a soft brick. Also, the notification light turns green when I enter flash mode, my computer also detects a device, so I think there is hope.
I run a locked bootloader by the way, is that where I went wrong?
So, should I use the flashtool? I don't know what to do, please someone help me.
Yes that Rom needs an unlocked boot loader.
Just flask a stock ftf, or repair in pccompanion, or unlock your bootloader and flash the Rom again
Now I have answered your question, guess which section it should have been posted in

Do you flash the rom after unlocking the bootloader via flashtool?

Another answer to your question is
Run Pccompanion then run software update. When it says you already have the latest software then click on repair phone.
However, this will not work if you have unlcoked your bootloader, if you do that you can just flash the rom again and it will work.
By the way, the screen does not turn on. Is that a problem?

Went into flashmode then connected to the pc. A "repair my phone" option showed up and the file is now downloaded.
So that basically solved my problem. Thank you, and thanks to everybody who helped.
Hi there!
I've unlocked using flashtool, installed CWM Recovery and rooted using the recovery-only root.
Now, I need to return the phone to as stock as possible - certainly removing root, but relocking the bootloader would be a good secondary objective.
My current plan is to use the flashtool to relock the bootloader, then use the PC software to repair the phone. Will this work?
Thanks for your help
Edit: I've searched the forums but can't find an answer, including in the starting thread - please link to a relevant portion instead of the whole thing if possible
Further edit: There's no 'relock' option in the flashtool - huh?

As of now there is no option to relock the bootloader. You can unroot the phone by simply performing a repair system command in Sony PC Companion or flashing a stock rom. This has been explained in every single rooting or custom MOD thread.
Ya you are right. Relock bootloader using flashtool and repair or flash a ftf from flashtool.
And IIRC in the beta version of flashtool u will find option to relock under BLU. And btw u won't get back DRM keys and no Bravia engine.

I don't see the option to relock anywhere - perhaps as I did the unlock on another PC?
If you can't get it to work with PC Companion use SUS (Sony Update Service which you can download from Sony's website) http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/update-service/ --> for UK

You have to relock the bootloader with flashtool beta4,click on BLU.
Flash a stock rom and repair it by update service.

Thanks - I expected there to be a separate button for relocking - whoops!
I've flashed the stock ROM and that's gotten rid of the root. It also says that the bootloader can be unlocked, so that seems all perfect as far as I'm concerned. Thanks for your help, ladies and gentlemen.
Hi, I unlocked the bootloader on my xperia t lt30p one time with intention to root it and install custom roms but never did as I nearly bricked it when putting a kernel on. I managed to put what I think is a stock kernel and rom back on, but I went to update it the other day and pc companion says that it could not complete the operation because the phone has been modified. I read somewhere that having the bootloader unlocked can cause this, so I wish to re lock it. Could anyone point me in the direction of a good tutorial to do so? Cheers...

the link provided by our friend is quite good, that's where you have to head over
and about the tutorial, tha't so easy, just flash that FTF file via Flashtools
power off your phone, open flashtools, select flash logo, then FLASH MODE, then connect your phone as you are pressing down the VOLUME DOWN button, and let it do the rest
disconnect and enjoy your relocked bootloader
So I won't need to re flash the rom again? sorry. I'm a bit of a noob at phone modding. Pc's I can do. Not phones yet. Hahaha.
no, flash the relock ftf found in the dev section, and it just relocks your bootloader, your rom will stay the same

RElock won't affect you rom, BUT if you unlcok AGAIN, then at the very first start up of the phone when it is the first time after RE-UNlocking, it will have a factory reset
just wanted to let you know
but for now, NO, it won't touch your firmware
Just done it. Worked. Cheers guys,

Use flashtool
Hello xda members!
I am using Xperia SP without touching anything.
I mean I didn't flash any roms - root it - unlock bootloader etc.
I wan't to root my phone but I am afraid of loosing my warranty.
I can see at some threads if I unroot my phone and repair it with PC Companion or SEUS it's like
i get back my warranty.
Is it true?
Thanks
Do whatever you want on a LOCKED bootloader. You just need to make a copy of your actual firmware, a .ftf file to use with flashtool. If you need to send your phone for warranty repair you flash the .ftf and it gets everything like new.

it requires me to flash some old kernel then root then flash the new.
Will this interfere with the warranty because I am flashing?
Or is it OK to flash?

I don't think flashing will affect your warranty, but if it does and you want to send the device back for repairs, just use SEUS or PC compagnon to do a repair

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.

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.
