[help] Xperia M can't install updates - Sony Xperia M

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:

I have shown my cell to service center also, and they also not finding any solution for that. and they r telling that your cell is not in warranty ok after unlocking the bootloder.
thy have also flash my cell then also cell is not booting up.
what is the solution..........
ok i understand that not in warranty BY UNLOCK THE BOOT-LOADER.
But Sony Ericsson people should provide me some solution for that.

[Q] turn on unknown sources and debugging without switching on the phone

hi guys
i was trying to root my xperia arc by the given procedure in one of XDA threats. I unlock the bootloader and root it using a flashtool but when i tried to restart the phone again it stuck on SE logo screen. I tried everything and the worst part is when i try to flash it or even lock the bootloader again it says that debugging must be switched on. HOW DO I SUPPOSED TO TURN ON THE DEBUGGING WITHOUT SWITCHING ON THE PHONE?
please help me on this, thanks alot
You were supposed to turn it on before rooting. Now all you can do is reflash, turn the phone on, turn debugging on and allow non-market sources then root. Try wiping all data while flashing and see if it works.
I forgot to turn it on and i cant turn on debugging cos my phone doesn't start.It stuck on SE logo screen.Hurry guys help me.
BTW i contacted the Sony Ericsson and they said send them the phone and they will have a look. What you guys say about that, should i send it or not?

go to service centre tell them that you were doing a 4.3 update and this happened.they wont recognise that your phone has an unlocked bootloader bcoz it doesnt start!they will replace it make sure you dont have cwm installed.

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.
Update your device with computer
