[Q] How relock bootloader - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
You mayby think, aigen someone who ask for relock bootloader. I have try different tut's, bus it doesn't work.
I can't find an stock kernel and rom. Anyone help please.
Thanx,
Harypjotr

Hey,
Did you have to unlock your bootloader using setools or omnius, or the 'test point' method?
If so, you can't relock the bootloader.
Otherwise, flash the ftf from this thread using flashtools: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134335

I can relock my bootloader, but I can't get the normal kernal and firmwire from Sony.
When I try to update, I get a sign, you alreddy get the newest version of software....
(Sorry about my terrible English)

I fount my orriginal .tft
Flashed, flashed the relock, and it works

Flash a rooted .img if you are on unlocked device or flash a generic .181 ftf and root + OTA to get 2.3.3. Got it?

Bad idea mate, with the unlocked bootloader
hi, but if a do a downgrade to rom 2.3.2 (rooted), and update to 2.3.3 using OTA, my phone will brick, and i will need to make a flash using the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1126358, won't i ?
Yes, so it is advisable not to try the OTA updates AT ALL!
Like datagubben said, just flash an already rooted ROM.
Cheers!

Currently is not possible to re-lock your unlocked phone.
here is the quot from website:
"Please note that there is no turning back when unlocking the boot loader. You will not be able to revert the phone to a locked or original state if you unlock it. Also, if you brick the phone, it is your own responsibility."

if ur already having ur 2.3.3, just flashing recovery kernel made by either doomlord or bin4ry to have access to recovery mode, then, you can flash superuser package (aka root) to have ur fone completely rooted.
here's link of bin4ry recovery image (ps: this is just a live boot, so do exactly as what it said)

@smokada,
I'm not sure if an OTA update will work for you even if you relock your bootloader (after flashing 2.3.2) as the DRM files have been wiped but it's possible to update via SEUS, which would make you lose your root.
@silverwind,
You're a bit behind the times mate. We've been able to lock the bootloader for quite some time now i.e. from the end of June. You can follow that thread here.
[The DRM files which were wiped while unlocking the bootloader can't be retrieved by locking the bootloader again.]
EDIT: LOL! I didn't realise that so many people posted before me with the answer.

[Q] Question about FTF flashing.... small

It has been a while since I flashed the stock FTF file for 2.3.3 R800x... and I cannot remember if I have to relock my bootloader prior to doing so. Do I need to re-lock it before I reflash the FTF or is it safe to just flash away?
Flash away. You can't relock the bootloader on the testpoint unlock, anyway.
I can relock my bootloader just fine. Done it before. So its okay to flash on unlock bootloader..... good. Thank you.

Once you unlock with HTCDev you cannot fully relock it. i.e. it will says "Relocked" instead of Locked. HTC warranty are trick but according to the agreement you'll get warranty for hardware fault not caused by unlocking Bootloader.

[Q] About official updates and relocked bootloader

Hello, I have a One X that I relocked the bootloader for send it to HTC. Actually my One X is running a official 4.0.3 version and always says that I have new updates availables.
I want to know if I need to do something special to update it without bricking the phone or I can do it normally.
Also I have doubts about if now with my relocked bootloader I can unlock it with the same process that I use the first time that I did it.
Thanks in advance.
If you are fully stock....
Stock Rom (not rooted)
Stock kernel (boot.img)
Stock recovery
You can leave your Bootloader locked, should not be a problem !

Thanks for your answer, I have stock rom, kernel and recovery. What about the process to unlock again the bootloader for install custom roms? Can I do it like the last time? Thanks in advance.
The process is exactly the same. You can even use the same unlock code .bin file to unlock

Your bootloader did relock, the yes is telling you that your bootloader CAN be unlocked, this is normal. As for the nandroid error, it failed because you cannot rewrite the boot image after you have relocked. This is fixable though don't worry, just flash stock firmware using flashtool
How do i know
How do i know is my bootloader is locked or unlocked coz member in here said like this Bootloader unlock allowed - Yes << this means that your Bootloader is Locked
Bootloader Unlocked - Yes << this means that your bootloader is unlocked.
So base on it mean my bootloader is still unlocked, But u said is locked? so can some one tell me how to double cross check my bootloader is locked or unlock

Xyge my phone posisiton is stuck on Sony logo and i'm will flash the official rom using flashtool so it's mean my kernel will be stock one. So should i try to flash again the kernel or try other thing?
you cant update your phone to pc companion when your phone is unlocked.
Sorry, I don't understand what it is you want to accomplish here. Do you want to just fix your phone and re-lock your bootloader?

Open flashtool and connect your phone in flash mode. On the screen look for "bootloader status:" or somethings similar. If your bootloader is locked it will say ROOTABLE or if your bootloader is unlocked it will say ROOTED.
If your bootloader is unlocked you cannot update from Sony PC direct and if you phone is locked Sony will allow you to update the phone

Actually thats not right. If you relocked the bootloader it will go back to Bootloader unlocked allowed: Yes and not stay at Bootloader Unlocked: Yes
When you try flashing that bootloader relock in flashtool what happens? I have used it many times with my LT26i with no issues. Can you past the log from flashtool when you try to flash it?
