there is already a thread about that, but no matter
flash the original ftf (the one where you have backuped your TA!!), than relock the bootloader and at last, restore your TA BAckup now you are completely on stock and no one can figure it out, if your BL was unlocked or not

hi @mo120697, thanks fr the reply, but do i have to go back to the same FTF, because i was on stock .157, but stock . 157 generic IN FTF isn't available i think, I found .108 FTF

you can use .108 as well i think, what matters is that you are on 4.4.4 when you have backuped on 4.4.4 but btw, i can share .157 BAL with you, from baltic states, works well with non baltic states

So I installed CM10.2 on my phone. For that I had to root and unlock my bootloader. I didn't really like it to be honest so I decided that I wanted to go back to stock rom, the problem however, is that i'm not sure how I should do this. I made a backup of my TA Partition so I also could get my DRM keys (Bravia Engine, etc) back. I don't know what I should do first and I was wondering if there is someone who could help me through this process. Do I first need to flash stock kernel, then flash stock ftf, and then install that TA backup in order to relock my bootloader? But I thought I needed root for this, if I flash a stock ftf then root will be gone right? So many questions
Thank you in advance

Thank you for your response but this is only relocking etc. My problem is that I don't know in what order I should do things. So far I think I should do it like this (but i'm not sure, so i'm asking for someone to tell me if it's wrong) : 1. Simply flash a stock ftf (with the ftf the stock kernel will be installed too, right?) 2. Relock bootloader 3. Then apply the TA Backup to get the DRM Keys back.
Is this the right order to do things? Will I make an expensive brick out of it if I do it like that?
Flash a stock FTF and root it (or flash a pre-rooted stock based ROM through recovery ). Then restore TA, which will automatcally lock bootloader and restore DRM keys

Official 4.3? YES you have to.
Leaked?? U dont have TA partition at all (after unlocking BL)
Late reply!!!...
What @smogf said ^^
If you are flashing the official one you need to
If you are flashing the leaked one you need unlocked bootloader so the TA is not there ...
Hello
I have Indian SP C5302. I want to install install the Australian generic 4.3 stock FTF (.266). I just read somewhere that one have to exclude TA partition while flashing it with flashtool whereas I have previously installed 4.1.2 stock FTF available here without excluding TA.
Can anyone please clarify under what circumstances one has to exclude TA or does not have to exclude TA during flashing stock FW.
Thanks in advance.

Just use search option. This question was in many threads after releasing 4.3 Or just read what exactly TA Partition is!!

Even if you select it on flashtool nothing will happen, it wouldn't get flashed, so choose either of them it wont harm your device.

Ok Got it!! :good:
May I know how to get back warranty?
I got the Ta Backup.
I had restored it to NUTs 534 firmware, installed root and restore TA backup.
Now what should i do before going to Sony?
Phone button donsent work, therefore going for repair.
Do i just flash a stock ftf file over using flashtool and i am good to send for repair?
After Restored TA flash via Flashtool the latest FTF 4.4 for your model from your region. Done.

You can lock your bootloader by restoring the TA partition (assuming you made a backup) but you must go back to stock first, otherwise you'll get problems.
To get back to stock, download the correct ftf from here and flash it using flashtool.
