So I unlocked my C1905's bootloader using sony's method but not long after I dropped it in a puddle, it was then I needed to relock the bootloader so it could be fixed. Since flashtool cant relock it and I used sony's method I have no backup of the ta partition. Would anyone be willing to upload or give me a link to one?

Even if someone is willing to give you one, I wouldn't flash it if I were you. The TA partition is device-specific, and flashing one from another device will likely hard-brick it

Actually you don't need it because warranty doesn't cover damage caused by users.
Didn't know the TA partition was device specific but thanks anyway

Have you tried repairing your phone in PC vompanion?

pc companion cant repair it as it needs me to go to notification via phone which is impossible since it just bootloops from sony to xepria logo.

Getting your Phone back to a factory state DOES NOT require you to be rooted or have an unlocked bootloader, the thing that's lacking here is reading, and persistence. You need to figure out getting PC Companion, SEUS, or the Flashtool (Official and un-Official) to work, so as you know what to do, it's over to you to do it, and if it's not working then you're obviously doing something wrong.
i personally prefer flashtool. simple to use and doesnt require root or unlocked bootloader if you're flashing stock ftf.

No sorry
Pls.someone help me how to Relock Bootloader in xperia M
If you have TA backup, use that..
There are various guides on how to do that properly with what precautions you must take and all...
But make sure you flash it over the same firmware you had taken it from, else you'll end up having a brick.

is that fine? or do i need to take additional steps ,,,,, ????

In the quote of my previous post there is a highlighted part.
Just take the backup before you unlock the bootloader.
Backup TA partition before unlocking bootloader otherwise they will be lost forever

I don't think you can. Should've taken a backup before unlocking bootloader
But i think i can restore it with some one others back up..
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium
Every device has unique DRM keys as far as I know
But every same device has same.mens some ones SL back up could be used.

The device model is the same, but every single device has it's own TA partition, just like every phone has it's own IMEI or every device has isn't own IP inside the same network. So, if you restore from someone else, you will end with an expensive paper weight
if u didn't backup your drm (ta partition) by THIS tool so you can't restore them and if you restore other phones drm keys you will have a hard brick so be careful so relock bootloader and search for a way to get bravia engine back I'm sure I read about something like that on xda .... hope I helped you :')
