flash tool shows error when about to finish the process.
Someone should help with .Ftf file
Sent from my D5322 using XDA Forums PRO
after successfully locking bootloader I am able to get OTA updates
Now I have unlocked bootloader, still it can be flash FTF..
i.e. without relocking bootloader, only OTA is not available..
so, FTF file has no issues,
the problem is with flashtool,
all you have to do is, download latest flashtool,
& before installing it, you have to uninstall previous version & folders created by old version.
Read 1st post of XperiFirm, to know, why flashing tool give error.

Have you installed any other root applications other than your Superuser application?
If so, try to uninstall (completely) the application, lock your bootloader, and unroot your phone.
If a system data is altered, and you don't know how to recover it to it's original state, then you have no choice
but to reflash your firmware before performing an update.
I cant relock my bootloader. Any help on how to?

Hey all!
I am quite new here so yeah.. At first i post a thread about some questions but still i don't understand some.
1: How do i unlock my bootloader without SE detecting it as a unlocked bootloader. Some say use SETooL/Omnius but i am still not sure about that. I don't want SE to detect my phone's bootloader as unlock. I know if it does my warranty is as good as dead.
2: Flash? What is flash? More importantly how do i flash roms onto my LT18i? I need a clear step by step instructions. What do i need to have before flashing? ADB Drivers? PC Companion? Is there a video that can teach me how to flash roms/kernels clearly? Give me an example on how to flash using a rom that can be flashed on Xperia Arc S.
These things might be hard to answer as it is in every noobs mind. So please help me understand, these things. How? What is needed? Example? I need answers. It is hard to search for answers as i am busy with my school and i am having Common Test (Sort of an important Test that is counted in my Exams). I am willing to learn more about this Android development thing.
Thanks,
LeParkour012

But! But! I don't get it! How about on my Arc S?! Is a free method available without removing the DRM stated in your video? Mine says BootLoader Unlock Allowed: Yes. But if i use the paid method (SETool 2) will i need to like connect the testpoints or something. This is for my Xperia Arc S
Success! After some experiments I finally unlocked my bootloader and I flashed an ICS Rom!

You Can be on the latest firmware with root ....
Update OTA after Rooting ........
a) Your Boot loader should not be unlocked (Default setting by Sony Ericsson)
b) Root your phone which is running on .42 firmware using the latest Flashtools v 0.6.8
Note :
i.First install Flash tool.
ii.Connect the phone in Flash Mode
iii.Flash it with 4.0.2.A.0.42
iv.Turn on the phone when flashing complete
v.Connect the phone with usb debbuging enabled.
vi.Open the Flashtool
vii.Then press the lock icon on flashtool.
viii.Phone will automatically reeboot after done
c) After rooting update your phone OTA
You can try using Wifi/3G/Edge
When I try to boot it up (using the power button of course), the LED above the USB connection place flashes green, and the phone vibrates once and does nothing.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

I found the issue; can't use SEUS after you unlock the bootloader. Thanks anyways! All I did was flash a rom that relocked my bootloader (?? don't know the terms), and then run SEUS again.
you cant relock a bootloader with a rom.. you need help fro this thread. download a ftf firmware and flash t using flashtool so that the phone boots p and then check the bootloader status .....later depending on it, flash a custom kernel and rom (optional though recommended)

Whoops, guess I meant I flashed an FTF... lol. Something I found on YouTube.
But yeah, I've run into another problem; while rooting the phone (using this guide over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1683957), I think I've bricked my phone again. I didn't enable USB Debugging and Unknown Sources, so it got stuck at Daemon Started Successfully. Haven't been able to boot into my phone since. Sorry if this problem has been solved before, wasn't able to find the solution while searching that thread.'
EDIT: ...sorry again, managed to stumble my way through and revive my phone.

Mmm, did you know that you can 'root' with locked bootloader also?... the real advantage is that you can use custom kernels
I tried, not working.

Yes it will definitely erase everything
Even your root will be lost
Just simply flash the ftf file in flashmode using flastool
I would recommend to go for the update if root is not that important for you
Becoz the phone is now hell lot smooth and fast :thumbup:

[GUIDE] [ROOT] Xperia ZL .2.67 fw using DooMLoRD Rooting Kit
Flash only the kernel.sin & loader.sin from older .423ftf package using FlashTool
Uncheck all wipe options
Check all exclude option EXCEPT Exclude Kernel

Reboot the device and make sure USB Debugging & Unknown Sources are allowed in settings

Turn Off the Device and put in Flash Mode (Press Volume Down while attaching usb cable)
Now open the latest .569 ftf (from here that you upload) package and repeat the check and uncheck process as earlier

Have you checked status?
Hello,
Have you checked bootloader unlock status? To do this use this method on STOCK ROMs
1. open the stock dialer app
2. Enter *#*#SERVICE#*#*
(*#*#7378423#*#*)
3. Tap service info
4. Tap configuration
5. Post what it says for rooting status
6. Go back
7. Tap SIM Lock
8. Post what's there
If it says no, you may be lucky and have the software glitch that reports status incorrect. Please post your build version. Try updating using PCC.
