Hi guys
I have been running CM10.2 stable without any problem and just want to try the stock 4.4 out.
After I use flashtool to revert back to stock 4.3 (didn't relock bootloader, having trouble doing that for some reason), the auto update to 4.4 keeps failing.
Could anyone help me out here?
Thanks!!!
You must relock the bootloader if you want the update OTA or Pc companion.

Hi there,
I have an unlocked bootloader running CM10.1.
Is it possible to return to stock and receive updates OTA or via PC Companion from Sony?
Can I keep my unlocked bootloader and root?
Thanks,
Chester
To go back to stock just flash a stock FTF via flashtools.
You need to relock bootloader to be able to use OTA or PC companion to update. You risk bricking your phone if you try updating with an unlocked bootloader.

heres what i did!
took a stock ftf!
.434 to be precise!
flashed only kernel and unchecked all!
after that i pressd the BLU option and chose relock!
then i flashed the stock ftf as a whole!
wiped data and all!
PS i wiped data while flashing kernel too..that is important!
then after flashing i booted the device!
and restored my ta.img
!
then i flashed a stock rom via sony update service!
and i was successful!

So I've been sitting on 4.1.2 and 1.29 Software for a while because I didn't wanted to tamper with my root. Recently decided to update, but I want to install the Custom Rom from Hawknest:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2496069
My main question is do I need to update to 4.3(Or 4.4?) before flashing in Ecliptic on TWRP or can I skip that part and simply flash in the Rom?
If I have to update, how do I update manually? Updating over the air sends me to TWRP after installing and I'm guessing this is because installing from OTA will get me unrooted. Finally, how do I know which is the correct ROM for me, he has KitKat and JellyBean as downloadables so I am uncertain. I'm guessing JellyBean, but I would like to get KitKat if possible.
My phone has:
Software 1.29.651.10
Firmware 4.1.2
HTCSense 5.0
I'm S-On on TWRP 2.6
Well what i did yesterday was go to Ecliptic kitkat from 4.1.2 just did bootloader and s_off rooted and install rexovery in rexovery did 3 full wipes (just in case) flash kitkat then the lastest modem for our sprint one niw im good and rolling

all the questions you have can be answered with bd19 frequently asked in q&a its very resourceful! also make sure you understand the file structure change after 4.1 or can have storage issues, also in q&a. imo getting s-off before doing anything would be a good starting point. good luck!
If I'm not mistaken you're also going to need to update your touch firmware as well

I have an unlocked CA C6906 currently fully rooted running .290 & Doomkernel V6. If I do an update to 14.2.A.1.136 via PCC in its current state will this cause any issues or lost data? Should I re-flash the stock kernel before attempting the update?
Thanks!
Why don't you use nut's flashable 136 over in Android development? Backup your data and restore afterwards

You cannot update your phone via PCC if the bootloader is unlocked..you have to use flashtool to update it or else if you've taken a TA backup then, restore it to relock the bootloader and then you can go ahead and update it via PCC..if not then you only have an option to update it via flashtool
Hit thanks if I have helped you..

Thanks to both of you for your replies, very helpful. I didn't know about NUT's image - looking at that now. Otherwise I may just wait & wipe when the 4.4 firmware comes out.
In the case you will want to Relock your Bootlader do not do that on Custom Kernel like Doomkernel because you will brick your phone. First flash stock then relock.
Hello community,
this is my first post here so i hope, i do it right
Please excuse my english, it is not perfect.
I have a xperia z with Android 4.2.2 (10.3.A.0.423) . The bootloader is unlocked, cwm/twrp dualboot is installed, also the doomlord customkernel v19 is in use, root-access is available.
Is it possible to update to official stock firmware 4.3 (10.4.1.B.0.101) using the PC-Companion without bricking my phone? Root-Access and cwm and so on would be lost as i assume. This would be ok for me.
I really would like to do it that way. I think, as an alternative, i could flash the 4.3 stock rom using cwm? Going this way, will my data and all settings be lost?
Updating via OTA is not a good idea i think.
Thanks for advise
Greetings

Well, you cannot update via PC companion, Sony Update Service or OTA, as your bootloader is unlocked.
So, that leaves updating via Flashtool or flashing a prerooted rom from the development section.
The cleanest way would be via Flashtool, then simply flash a custom kernel again and root.

And if im going to flash the stock-kernel which belongs my current firmware and then relock the bootloader?
If the bootloader is relocked, i can't flash a kernel or something else anymore right?
EDIT: If I decide to flash a rom will my data be lost or is it like im doing an normal update?
Is it possible to go back to stock with everything?
So much questions Sorry, I don't know that much, please help
Can anyone help?
Yes, if you relock the bootloader, you should be able to update via the normal methods (at least via PC companion, unsure about OTA). A locked bootloader means you cannot use custom kernels.
If you flash with Flashtool, you can choose not to wipe your data.

I assume, it would be the best to flash the original kernel before i lock the bootloader?
After relocking the bootloader and installing the update via PC-Companion, will the kernel be the "original" kernel and will cwm/twrp be still there or not?
Yes, flash a stock kernel before locking the bootloader. If you don't, you will soft brick your phone.
After updating, you will have a stock kernel and your custom recovery will be gone as well as root.

So everything worked fine. I relocked the bootloader via flashtool and installed the firmware using PC-Companion. My Xperia Z is now totally "stocked"
Thank you very much for your help
You're welcome. Glad to help.

I have an unlocked bootloader and I'm currently on a version of OmniRom
To get to stock 4.4 update do I just flash a tft to get back to stock?
Will I need my TA keys for this? I lost them by accident. My camera works fine on this rom so I'm not sure if I will need it to go back to .136 4.3 JB
Thanks in advance.

As far as I know you would only be needing the TA keys if you wanted to update your phone via OTA or PC Companion. TA restore won't be necessary if you will be flashing a ftf thru flashtool.

Thank you so much, I just need to know what to do when I get on 4.3 again, I wanna update to 4.4 but I dont have the TA keys
If 4.4 is released you can flash those tfts as well. Most probably faster than waiting for ota
