I've just received v. 28.0.A.8.266 update to my Sony Xpreia Z3+ phone and decided update it immediately
Just after restart phone got stuck with dead android robot image and short message "error" displayed. Reboots didn't helped, boot-loader is not reachable.
Phone has unlocked boot-loader and encrypted.
Anybody faced this issue?
Trying to restore with Sony's "Bridge for Mac".

If I'm not mistaken, OTA updates do not work with phones with unlocked bootloader..
Unlocked Xperia phones will still receive OTA updates, but the update will not work due to the bootloader now being unlocked.. That will explain why your phone won't boot up properly..

I have that feeling too.
BTW repairing with "Bride for Mac" worked - it just wiped phone data completely, but installed recent v. 28.0.A.8.266 upgrade.

I unlocked my bootloader using the sony unlocking process. As it was saying my phone couldn't be updated due to modified software, I flashed a stock uk unbranded rom on to it (mine phone is a 6602 bought in Qatar, but the firmware says it's for a 6603).
I then used the flashtool to lock my bootloader. When I check the service settings it now says that unlocking the bootloader is now showing as no. Reading another thread that said by using the SEUS to repair your phone it's possible to change it back to yes, I tried it, but SEUS says that it there is no software available for my phone. Sony Update Engine doesn't have software available for my phone'
Anyone able to get my bootloader unlocked again?

Anyone able to get my bootloader unlocked again?
Hello guys.
I got my hands on my SONY XPERIA Z 2 weeks ago. Then I updated it to the Jelly Bean 4.2.2 immediately.
3 days ago, I got the 2.67 update. Next up, I decided to root my device. So I googled "XPERIA Z C6602 10.3.A.2.67 root".
I don't know what the number was, but the last 4 digits were 2.67, the latest update actually.
In time, I noticed that I had to unlock the boot loader first.
So I d/l'ed the Minimal Fastboot & Adb from the XDA and had gotten my Key through the SONY UNLOCK BOOTLOADER service.
I ran the minimal fastboot & adb then unlocked the phone. I ended up a data-wiped XZ after the operation as the 13-page application menu had gone and a 3-page one remained from stock XZ Jelly Bean firmware. That was normal actually, but the thing is that I ran the UBL operation on my smartphone solely to ensure that I have a BL unlocked smarty.
What I got after the second time unlocking was, um, SONY & XPERIA splash screen and then multiple reboots. Thus, I did some googling and noticed how to switch off the unit, using VOL+ & Power method. Now every time I boot it up, it keeps rebooting over & over.
As you all know, I cannot update/repair it through SUS or PC Companion as it's BL unlocked & EMMA is unavailable in my area.
I couldn't find a 4.2.2 C6602 Stock FTF but a 4.1.2 FTF to use with my XZ. I have to use Androxyde Flashtool.
Will this kind of downgrade kill my BLU'ed smartphone or can anyone help me out uploading the C6602 4.2.2 Global Generic FTF stock firmware or a link? Are there any other ways to relieve my phone?
Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated.
Additionaly, I've seen guys having the same problem because of other reasons, say, turning Airplane mode on.

i know it's too late, but you don't need to have an unlocked BL to get root. And i hope you did a TA-backup, so that your drm keys aren't lost forever.
Downgrading won't harm your device.

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'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

When i relock my bootloader my warranty no longer shows and camera does not work. Any fix? When I unlock it again the warranty shows and camera works. It also ask for Android password when I relock and I have tried every possible password and it won't work so I'm forced to wipe user data to get in the device after relocks.
If I can't relock my bootloader is there a way to get rid of that message "your device has been unlocked, and can't be trusted" during boot up! I've seen someone else on a LG g4 flash the img and it removed it but I can't find the Sony splash screen img file with root access.
When I relocked my bootloader I got an update for June security patch. Updated and unlocked bootloader again. Is there a way to get updates without relocking the bootloader?
Last question. Does anyone else notice the rear camera no longer takes good low light photos but the front does?
Wait, youre on Rogers and rooted?! How? Mine always says boot loader unlock allowed no

You have lost your drm keys.. No turning back, this was also mentioned in the unlock guide / proces.
As there is no way of making backup of the drm keys atm, you should have not unlocked or waited.
Better stick with the unlocked bl.
