Hello ! :fingers-crossed:
Jelly Bean was released. So, If I update phone (with DooMLorD leaked JB rom) using PCC I dont brick it? Or I have to wait FTF and flash it?

If you flashed DooMLorD's rom, and want to update to the official version, then you can just flash the ftf, when it is released by sony.

You wont brick the Update Service will say : " Modified system file " and wont update your phone, you can either flash FTF or relock Bootloader install with Update Service and then unlock it again for further modifications.... Still better love story than twilight
Or if you are too excited and want to try updating using PC companion then you can first flash stock ICS with flash tool and then flash the relocking ftf posted by doomlord. Then you can safely update your phone using PC companion

you can flash 2.3.4 firmwares {ftf} again via flashtool to downgrade..!!
Sorry for the noob question but can i use flashtool to downgrade back to GB even if my bootloader is lock?
Yes, but you can downgrade to 2.3.4 only. You will risk damaging the fuel gauge(0% battery problem) if you downgrade to an earlier version.
Yes, using flashtool flashes the stock kernel/firmware. If your bootloader's unlocked you could use pc companion to repair the phone if the official ICS isn't available in your area yet.

Where can i get 2.3.4 generic for all regions?
Actually since you upgraded to ICS doing the repair via PC Companion will detect that you have the ICS version on your smartphone and will download, wipe and install the ICS even it if the ICS update is not available in your area.
I know because I did a repair job because I want to wipe it clean with a fresh install of the ICS and I am happy with it. So it will not repair and install GB 2.3.4.
As commented flashtool and download the GB 2.3.4 on here to downgrade.
where can i download generic ics ftf file?
after i flash the ICS beta http://developer.sonymobile.com/wp/...or-unlocked-xperia-play-smartphones-download/
i need to install again the kernel if i want ICS++ rom ?
You'll need to flash an ICS kernel e.g DoomLords Advanced Stock

Flash a Stock ICS ftf first, root, then install a custom and you're good to go. Read the stickys.

Good morning friends!
I have a xperia s with Locked Bootloader, official android 4.0.4/ 6.1.A.2.55, rooted through this process:

With CWM:

And some tweks.
I already knew that Sony did upgrade to Android 4.1 JB, but my sony companion keeps telling me that I have the updated system.
What can I do to get the latest version?
I have to do the factory reset?
Is there another way to get the latest update?
Will I lose root and CWM?
Just flash this in recovery. But for now you will lose recovery after
