Go to your kind neighbour or relative and borrow his/her Windows-computer for a minute or two.

I have relocked the bootloader though..
It doesn't matter: the certificates were wiped and PC Companion can't give them back to you.
It's just a fact of life I guess

Yes I finally steped up and went through with unlocking the bootloader with jinx13. Its not yet done because im running windows 8 and my pc crashes but tomorrow i'll do it in another computer. But to the point!
I need advices on what not to do. The only problem is OTA and using PCC and Seus right? Any advice is appretiated!

When using test point via setools you cab still use pcc and seus and you will still keep drm,( think this was resolved after ics).
There are no issues with unlocked bootloader, you can only gain.
Just a point to remember that you can always relock bootloader with jinx13 if needed, as the server keeps records.

Just to clarify my previous post about the relock, if jinx13 does it then he can relock, if you use other company, then only they can relock. Hope this makes it more clearer.

easiest method available. or download flashtool you can flash and root with it.http://androxyde.github.com/ and get your roms from here http://www.xdafileserver.nl/index.php?dir=Sony+(Ericsson)/SE+Xperia+S+(LT26i)/
Root many droid is the easiest. Other's are complicated.

Unlock your bootloader and try all that is write in the forum, because the stock support is the worst, a new firmware like the 6.1.A.2.55 will never arrive to your phone

Actually if you want the newest stock firmware, reinstall PC Companion, choose your language and Singapore as your country, you will get the .2.55 update, 1st check. in your own language.

U can use SEUS: ( http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/tools/update-service/ ) or flashtool as you phone can't bootup so you can't use PC Companion as i know.But thees two other programs will work.SEUS is easier to use.Hope you'll get it fixed.

No, sir. I haven't unlocked my bootloader, and my T2 does not have a rooting history. Just bought it 2 months ago. The error still persists.

You don't know how many times I tried to uninstall-reinstall this PCC, bro. I'm getting annoyed by this. If worse comes to worst, I'm sticking to Flashtool
