[Q] Phone bricking per OTA - strange

Hey Folks
I tried now 2 times to get on the new Firmwareversion 4.x for the Arc with root.
Every Time i tried to Unlock per OTA the Phone bricked. So the Bootloader must be open.
I don´t touched the Bootloader, but i think the Bootloader is open, because the Phone had SimLock and i unlocked the phone with SETools with Testpoint Methode.
How do I know if the boot loader can be unlocked on my phone?
It is possible to unlock the boot loader for certain releases of our 2011 Xperia™ phones, such as Xperia™ arc, Xperia™ neo, Xperia™ pro and Xperia™ PLAY. Your phone has to fulfill a number of requirements, for example, you can’t unlock the boot loader if you have a SIM lock protected phone. There are other requirements as well, depending on your market and the original configuration of your phone.

So the Bootloader must be open in a way am i right? But i can still update with PCC or SEUS the Firmware
Where can i check the Bootloader Status
Thanks in advance for Help Dudes

Setool would have unlocked the bootloader, so have a read of the unbrick thread in the dev section.

[Q] Help needed to update Xperia Ion LT28H

I am trying to update my xperia ion to version 3.7 from 2.68. But its not happening. I tried with pc companion as well as OTA. Both say that phone has the latest version of firmware. I tried to perform repair via pc companion but it re-installed same version of firmware 2.68. Also my phone heats up quickly while browsing internet on 3G and battery gets drained quickly.
I checked with Sony service station and they are ready to replace my phone as i am facing heating and battery issue. But before replacing the phone i would like to check if issue has been solved in firmware version 3.7. I am concerned about flashing phone directly as it might void the warranty.
Any help on this issue would be appreciated.

AW: [Q] Help needed to update Xperia Ion LT28H
Unlocking bootloader may void warrenty. For flashing Sonys stock rom u dont need to unlock.. Just flash with flashtool. But before, u could try to update with Sony update Service.

try update via sony pc software. AFAIK ICS needs to be installed over pc companion from sony. in rare cases even then tells u that no update avaiable... than:
root it & flash stock ics. ftf via flashtool
