Not with SEUS or OTA from Sony Ericsson, it wil brick your phone. But you can flash the official whit flashtool, when ICS official comes for the arc
If you relock your bootloader you can update with SEUS again. Shouldn't cause any problems

But why unlock your bootloader if don't want to use costom ROMs of kernels? Whit unlocked bootloader and costom rom, or kernel, you can't update whit OTA or SEUS. And when you relock the bootloader you must first flash back to stock, or you will brick your phone to, when relocking your bootloader whit costom kernels.

Remember, when you unlock the official way, you lose your DRM, and when you relock it again you don't get back your DRM.
Hi,

If i am sure Xperia S and Xperia SL are the same devices, only difference is Cpu clock(S-1.5 Ghz SL-1.7 Ghz) So i think its the same relock way as with Xperia S.

I am pretty sure that the relocking ftf file over here works for S and SL - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1527159
Also, before you relock, just be sure to flash stock ics first with Flashtool and then flash the relocking ftf file.
Btw, you can still update to official JB with an unlocked bootloader. Once someone receives the update in his/her country, the ftf file will be made and released here for everyone. Also, Sony has their official Flashtool for unlocked bootloader devices.

Yes. You Can Flash Relock ftf. Both Are Same Device With Different Clock Speed.
It should not create any issue.
USING FLASHTOOL
First Flash The ICS (Exclude TA in Options)
Then, Flash The FTF Relock (Include TA in options)
So I got my friends Xperia S, I wanted to flash jellybean onto the device using flashtool and the global jellybean ftf file. But before that I wanted to confirm, If after I flash the global JB ftf will I still get OTA updates? My rooting status is "Bootloader unlock allowed: yes". Please reply thanks.

I know how relock my bootloader and i have a TA Partition Backup.
Can i relock my bootloader safely if i am on the 15.1.C.1.17 firmware (C1905) but i unlocked it on the 15.1.C.2.8 firmware.
I have stock rom and kernel.
Because somebody told me that the TA partitions are different between firmware.
Yes you cannot relock lock on different FW just flash a ftf by flashtool of same fw...

But what if i updated it on the 15.1.C.1.17 firmware via PC Companion to the 15.1.C.2.8 firmware, so i dont have the same .ftf that i unlocked it on.
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.
