phone : xperia arc
firmware : 2.3.4 4.0.2.A.0.42
rooted via flashtool v 0.4.2

Currently it is not possible via locked bootloader, you have to unlock bootloader.
I am also waiting any method that will work with locked bootloader.

Hi,
i have Xperia ARC phone with:
1. bootloader unlocked
2. blendmiui v09 kernel.
3. [ROM] Avicho MIUI For Arc [2.1.13] installed
The phone is working well but can i use PC companion to restore the phone to the latest ROM available for ARC ?
Thanx
You can't upgrade/restore the rom from se pcc if your bootloader is unlocked...
If you want to return to stock rom , just flash the ftf files found in the forum with flashtool..
You can also relock the bootloader and then update the firmware from pcc.
Sent from my LT15i using XDA App
so if i relock the bootloader, can still i use my phone with the MIUI rom that is allready installed ?
can i use this to relock the bootloader?

BL should be unlocked for flashing any generic firmwares using flashtools..

@Arcman
for firmware no need to unlock bootloader directly you can use flash tool,if you want Custom ROM and doomkernel you gonna need to Unlock your Bootloader ...

Thank you

Hello Guys
I saw this custom rom ..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599906
so my question is if I installed this ICS custom rom
and I didn't like it can I back to the original firmware via flashtool ?
and does this custom room needs unlocked bootloader .
Thanks
If its an ICS you will need a kernel, so you will need an unlocked boot loader to flash the kernel, every time you see this rom requires this kernel, you will need an unlocked bootloader

Dont Try this method if it says Bootloader unlock allowed "no"
If it says that, you need to pay, like i did
my xperia zl, but my bootloader is unlocked, i am running official android 4.3, but this os is providing sudden death error, therefore i had to install android 4.2, but flashtool is not installing it because of bootloader unlocked, plz give me a method to install ftf using emma, as emma is for unlocked bootloaders !

There are two different 'FlashTool's.
One is from Sony (that's not the one you want to use) and the other is Androxyde's FlashTool.
Androxyde's FlashTool allows you to flash .ftf files and also unlock and relock your BL.
