....i want to install .zip files themes on my arc.
phone : xperia arc
firmware : 2.3.4 4.0.2.A.0.42

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.

[Q] Q : about custom roms and ICS

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

for the official update via pcc question it will inform you there is and update but you will not be able to install the official firmware through pcc even if UB and stock you can only update flashtool ftf file or with cwm flashable zip
yes you can relock your bootloader with flashtool to update the official way.
yes it will work especially if you are stuck in bootloop or brick as long as you can boot into flash or fastboot it

Use flashtool to flash the 6.2.B.1.96 ftf on your phone. Then use Flash tool and flash this boot loader relocking file - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43898758&postcount=2

[Q] how to install ftf using emma ?

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.
