will it be danger for my phone to unlock boot loader

Nothing other than losing warranty. The first thing i did was unlock the bootloader after i got my phone.
You can also relock it back. Check the forum for guides on how to do that.
Please refrain from doing this stuff if you are not comfortable with tinkering your phone.
It is a relatively simple task though.

What do you mean by restore? If you mean going back to your previous rom, you have nandroid backups for that.

what do you mean by "restore" ? if you have CWM and have made a backup of your previous ROM then yes you can go back to it
If you are thinking of "reseting" and have installed a custom ROM you need to download the stock ROM for your phone and flash it through CWM

yes sir. i mean resetting it back to its original stock ics rom. pc companion cannot recognize my arc s anymore. im running MIUI Final for arc s. so i will download the stock ics rom and flash it via cwm? how about my kernel? do i need to reset factory settings and erase everything after flashing the stock ics rom?

Just flash any of the custom ics roms available. If you want to flash the stock ICS rom, use flashtool for it. You will lose all data.

custom kernels can be used for OC, better performance etc. so really you dont need the stock kernel, and yes download the stock ICS ROM and before you flash it through CWM do a "Wipe data/factory reset" and "Wipe cache partition" to avoid any problems

Please!Please

Please guide me after update of firmware to 6.1.A.2.452 I will loose root?.Can I flash another firmware for stock custom rom via flashtool without unlocked bootloader?.Can I unlock my bootloader after the update?Which is the best stock custom rom and other custom rom which is easy to install & better than stock rom
Rooted 4.0.4 rom with locked bootloader
6.1.A.0.452

Something easy is flash your new firmware and use a kernel like "Advanced Stock ICS Kernel" to root and finally reflash your stock kernel if your want its improvements, you can unlock your bootloader anytime, and the best custom room is Cyanogen, it just needs to flash an file in recovery mode.

How to go back to stock?

A few months ago I flashed xzxperience 2 rom and RaymanFX kernel, this was before official Jellybean rom from Sony was released. My bootloader is unlocked and I want to install official the Jellybean update now. I tried DooMlords rom but it wont flash.
What do i need to do? I dont think I backed up stock kernel as I cannot find it, only stock ICS rom I backed up using clockwork recovery (does that back the kernel up I wonder?)
Can I just use Sony PC companion or OTA update?
Thanks.

No, you can't use PC companion or SEUS when you have an unlocked bootloader.
Have a look in the FAQ of the XPERIA S Development forum and see if there's a ICS ftf
There should be some ICS .45 and .55 ftf files around somewhere.
I believe you can now root .55 so it should speed up your progress to an install of the pre-rooted JB ROM.
That said, DooMLoRD provided a few fastboot 'elf' kernels that you can use to get CWM recovery mode access and then flash the JB pre-rooted ROM.
Best to have all the zip files you need on your phones /sdcard before you start any process though.
If you can't flash the pre-rooted official 6.2.B.0.200 ROM, you can install a leaked version of JB, then install DoomKernel, and you should be able to install the pre-rooted official 6.2.B.0.200 ROM and then DooMKernel again. that's the long way of doing it.
I believe if you're getting a status 7 assert failed, DooMLoRD has a fix for that too, with an ICS kernel/CWM recover of some sort.
I believe there are pointers in DooMLoRDs pre-rooted JB ROM install procedure.
As an aside, I had RaymanFX GPU/CPU over-clocked kernel installed too and found it really good.

You can use EMMA tool from Sony for unlocked bootloaders to go back to stock rom or flash a .200 ftf file with flashtool.
Other option is to flash Doomloards prerooted ROM with CWM or in case you don't have CWM (or CWM on ICS kernel and errors during flashing), first flash Doomlords advanced stock kernel which includes CWM via fastboot / flashtool and than his ROM with CWM.

thanks for the replies guys, I managed to get the doom stock jb rom working in the end, followed the tips in the thread and had to flash Advance Stock Kernel with Recovery v01 (FW 6.2.B.0.200) (CWM 6.0.2.7) before I could install the rom
I will remember in future then if I want stock rom to relock the bootloader.

Re-Flash Xperia M to stock

Hey everyone,
last week I flashed my girlfriend's XMS with several custom ROMs, but none of them could really satisfy us, so I want to re-flash the stock ROM.
My question is: Can I just flash the ftf file with the flashtool if there is currently CM11 running on the device? Or do I need to erase the system before?
Will this also flash "stock recovery"? Is there a way to do this?
Thanks!

Yes, you can flash stock ROM. There is no need to format system, Flashtool will do its work. Stock recovery will not be flashed, because we don't have stock recovery on our device. But you can flash stock kernel with CWM or PhilZ Touch recovery.

if you want to leave your recovery ..check kernel
sin in exclude list in flashtool

No! Phone will not boot with custom ROM kernel (if custom ROM is not based on stock). So it is necessary to flash full stock at first and then to flash stock kernel with recovery, if you want to have recocery.

You flashed stock via Flashtool after CM11 or CM-based ROM without flashing stock kernel? It should not boot, I think, because 4.3 and 4.4 kernels are different.

Has anyone tried this? I need to do this also but I'm a little bit confused about flashing kernel. I tried to find a detailed guide somewhere but no success

Reverting Stock but how?

Hello!
I've spent quite amount of time reading but i'm only getting partial answers, the big picture is still unclear since there is so many possibilities.
Currently: 14.4.A.0.108 Kitslim evo, rooted, unlocked bootloader (official method), custom kernel (Doom), TA keys are backed up with the TA 9.11 program.
Goal: Get 100% Stock on 14.4.A.0.108.
I can't use TA as first because i'm already on custom kernel which would result in bootloop.
If i flash stock rom i will loose recovery and i don't know which options i have to exclude since there is no info about that when flashing from unlocked bootloader.
How can i get out of this mess?
Thank you!

Question: what do you want?
Unrooted stock rom or another rooted stock rom or ....?
if you want a stock unrooted firmware, you must use Flashtool, download firmware first and then flash it with this tool.
Otherwise just download another stock rooted rom, copy to your device, boot into recovery and flash it

Goal is to get into condition ready for warranty.
Do i have to exclude TA in flashtool options when flashing stock rom?
When relocking bootloder do i have to use BLU or TA 9.11 program method?

all explained here
restoring TA partition will relock your bootloader and restore DRM keys, but only if you unlocked bootloader the official way by Sony.

same here i have rock z1 l, want to return to stock everything with that step i will return ??
