Hi to all. Today ia have unlock the bootloader of my Xperia M After the 1rst boot i get a new firmware update. Should i update?
Doing so can ruin the phone?
Updating your phone with OTA (over the air) & SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service (I aren't too sure on this one)) will brick your phone. Only update your device through .ftf files which you flash through flashtool.

If you have an unlocked bootloader please research before you update! I know ota updates will brick phones with unlocked bootloaders, im not sure about ones from pc companion.

The pc companion shows new update but won't allow the user to actually upgrade with a unlocked bootloader.

is your bootloader unlocked? NEVER accept any OTA updates with an unlocked bootloader, use flashtool!

As tangosierra_ said do not accept over the air updates if your bootloader is unlocked if the above not work contact here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1252038 :good:
thanks for answers, managed this on my own, i used a ftf file that relocked the bootloader so i could fix it through sony pc companion
I am trying to update my xperia ion to version 3.7 from 2.68. But its not happening. I tried with pc companion as well as OTA. Both say that phone has the latest version of firmware. I tried to perform repair via pc companion but it re-installed same version of firmware 2.68. Also my phone heats up quickly while browsing internet on 3G and battery gets drained quickly.
I checked with Sony service station and they are ready to replace my phone as i am facing heating and battery issue. But before replacing the phone i would like to check if issue has been solved in firmware version 3.7. I am concerned about flashing phone directly as it might void the warranty.
Any help on this issue would be appreciated.

Sony update service also says that my phone already has the updated version of firmware.

Hey I'm new here so sorry if I explain it weirdly and I mistakenly posted this in a different section before
So my xperia M which is now unrooted can't install the 15.4.A.1.9 update it just downloads and reboots and goes to the boot up screen and loads for 2-3 seconds and blacks out and and restarts and it says couldn't install update. How can I fix this?
Try flashing a .ftf file via flashtool
Press thanks if I helped!
This might me the answer
Hey there!
I think i understood your problem and i have a question to ask you. is your bootloader locked or did u unlocked ur bootloader anytime and didnt lock it back.?
if your bootloader is unlocked , u wont be able to install updates from official Sony Update Center.
I dono if this is the exact reason y ur are unable to do but this happened with my phone too.
I use Sony Xperia M Dual C2004 and i wasnt able to install updates, then i noticed that my bootloader was unlocked then i used Flashtool to lock it back, then i was able to install the updates
Or if u want to install .FTF of your phone manually do it via Flashtool coz its safe
and if you want to get .FTF of your phone directly from Sony use PC Companion as Sony Update Service [SUS] is stopped
Hope it helps :angel::fingers-crossed::good:

Do you have root or have you modified anything? Try updating with Sony's Xperia Companion
I have root and when unroot not change!!! The erorr dialog is "coud not verify" in phone.i try with pc companion!!!
Once rooted even if you unroot before installing updates it won't work system has been modified re-flash ftf via flashtool or try software repair via Sony pcc

so you unrooted and flash with flashtool,and the effect is not booting up?Is there any LED light when you try to turn the phone up???The problem flashing with Xperia Companion or PC Companion is that the phone has to be booted up.
EDIT:I saw somewhere here on xda forum that xperia companion might work if your bootloader is still locked.
