Just flash a stock ftf with flash tool. First, do a hard reset by pressing and holding the volume button and power button till it vibrates 3 times. Then prepare the ftf for flashing with flashtool and connect your phone in flash mode and allow the it to flash. Power your device on and enjoy.

Flashing a ftf with Flashtool does not void your warranty and it works with unlocked and locked bootloader. Sony update service and PC companion work only for locked bootloader. If you have unlocked your bootloader, you can use EMMA - Sony's Flashtool.

If you were smart enough to unlock bootloader, you should know how to lock it. You should also do some reading, so you knew unlocking bootloader "blocks" OTA updates.

Ok..
I already know how to lock it
but i don't know if this will allow me to recive OTA update
?????

Note :: I unlocked bootloader and rooted my phone because
I wanted to delete cache and all unnecessary files which made my phone really slow and lagging all
the time
Not to install custom rom.. I still in the offical ICS rom

What You Actually Need To Do Is,
1. Unroot The Device.
2. Lock Bootloader
3. Following Steps 1-2 Will Allow You to Download OTA Updates From PCC.
If You are unsure If your phone is in the same condition as it was before you started to root and unlock it.
Best Thing To Do Will Be.
1. Use FLASHTOOL to FLASH Sony Generic ftf. File .45
2. Relock Bootloader by Using Relock ftf. --> http://j.mp/xps_relock
3 Flash Your Phone Completing Both Steps.
4. You should receive .55 Update if Everything Went Fine. ( It means you are getting OTA)
And You Are Ready for JB now!!

Try flash ftf file via flash tool or Sony software.
Your explanation is very confusing. Please give detail on what have you did i.e. what version of OS you have before flashing existenz rom, do your boot loader locked or unlocked? etc...

Bootloader unlock my phone.
I installed the file Xperia ZL (C6502)_10.1.1.A.1.253_Generic US 1270-7577 R7A.TFT & Xperia ZL C6502_10.3.1.A.2.67_Generic US 1270-7584.tft
Use FlashTool
I'm not English
Translate messages using lose
I press the power button
The phone will start for 3 seconds
After the 3 second Turns off

Your mistake is probably flashing the cyanogen kernel.

Wipe everything؟

Do not install ROM eXistenZ for xperia ZL
Ok..first try locked your bootloader...
SEUS will not restore your phone if you Unlocked bootloader....
And if restoring the phone can't solve your problem, it was because you have experiencing a faulty battery...
You need to send to Sony service center for repair...
If you have warranty, first locked your bootloader then restore your phone with SEUS...

{HELP}XMD C2005 - Stucked at bootanimation after Unlocking!!!

hi XMD users.
I unlocked my XMD C2005 succesfully but when i booted it i got stucked on bootanimation. I tried to flash the 4.3 kernel with CWM and able to go to recovery but still unable to boot into system..
I performed it twice but i have no idea what is the reason behind. my phone is unlockable.
Thanks.

Try flashing the kernel from the stock FTF through Flashtool. If you don't have one, try requesting from other users.

i already flashed the stock CWM kernel for xperia m dual but its no good.. i can put it bring it back to 4.3 but my problem is i can't root it..i always stucked in boot animation everytime i unlocked my device..
any idea why is this happening?

What do you mean, stock CWM? What I meant was to flash the stock kernel, the one that came with your device.

i can do that, but my problem is i can't boot my device after unlocking. i already unlocked my bootloader.. any suggestion?
I just want to ask and know, how long will it takes to boot up after unlocking 4.3 or flashing a 4.3 image with CWM? Coz' when I first unlocked the device it's been more than 20mins and the device still on boot animation..
Any tips? Thanks...

No. All you have to do is to boot into flash mode.
It doesn't normally boot too long. It's just like rebooting the device.

IDK I had some problems too with bootloader unlocking and I found the fix: don't unlock with Sony site, but with flashtool.
AFAIR I relocked my bootloader and then I unlocked it with flashtool and it worked. It's thag button near the flash button.

If you unlocked your bootloader already , relock with TA partition (If you Made).Or just relock it with the latest version of flashtool. And boot into flash mode (Volume down btn press and hold) and flash a .ftf firmware.That's it ----> CHEERS .. if you still facing problems please report in the same thread with my name i.e @XDASenior

I have downloaded latest Flash tool and able to take the backup of my D5316 model (not yet done root or recovery). Not sure we can flash it back to device after trying to unlock bootloader or root the device (in case unlock/root fails).
I dont see the the rooting procedure for device D5316. They are talking of TA Backup prior any rooting or Unlocking BL. When taking the complete FTF, doesn't it retain the DRM keys? I am less confident risking going for rooting for this device without confirmed backup of TA

Emma don't support Xperia T2 Ultra but you can use other Flash tool
To restore the original firmware go to xperiafirmware.com/8-firmware/55-sony-xperia-t2-ultra-d5303
download the tool and the firmware of Xperia t2 ultra (D5303/D5316/D5306/XM50t) <- same model
Check you put your phone on flash mode (volume down), not fastboot (volume up).

Flashtool you need to get from http://www.flashtool.net/index.php
Stock Sony firmware you can download using another nice tool: XperiFirm ~ Xperia Firmware Downloader & Checker.
Using Flashtool you will need to convert stock firmware into flashable D5316_4.4.2_Sony.ftf , then you need to put your phone in flashmode mode by connecting USB cable to a computer while pushing Vol down (or up). Flashtool should recognize this mode.
Then you can chose what do you want to flash and what to skip.
It worked well for me and hope will help others.
Good luck!

I'm stuck on the android screen after flashing my T2 with a FXP ASOP Build. Will this same method to get me back to stock?

Download your device stock ftf file. And then flash through flashtool

Done and I'm back up and running. Appreciate the help. Now I need to cook my own ASOP rom. One last question, when I reflashed, SuperSu and other apps said they didnt have root access but when I got to unlock the phone again. It says its already unlocked. What am I missing here?
