I downloaded 42 fw from 1 of the threads in arc's forum.
I flash my fw via flashtool. Done. I have the 42fw.
I connect my phone to pc.
Suddenly, my pcc said there's an 42fw update via pcc.
What's wrong with my phone?
I already have the 42 fw but the pcc still ask me to update to 42fw.
Is my ftf fake? Or?
Anyone have an idea?
I have Xperia arc S with android 4.0.4 (build 4.1.B.0.431), i want to install latest update (4.1.B.0.587) via sony pc companion. Every time i try to install, pc companion popping up window with this message: http://postimage.org/image/n79vyhstx/
Does enyone have idea what causing this problem
Thanks in advance
If you have unlocked your bootloader, re-lock it
take the SIM card out of your phone and reboot phone
My bootloader is unlocked, but won't let me install update. How do I re-lock bootloader??
Download Link
Flash this ftf file via flashtool from the download line --> www(dot)mediafire.com/?g1b5j712ajx4yjd (not allow to post outside links, sorry!)
And your bootloader is locked again!
No need to relock bootloader to get the update. Download complete update 4.1.B.0.587 from here, put it in "C:\Flashtool\firmwares" (if Flashtool is installed in "C:\Flashtool") and flash it using Flashtool. I did it without problems. Use the "flashmode" in Flashtool, I selected "Exclude FOTA" option, so only baseband, system and kernel were flashed..
Help?
i relocked my bootloader to update to 4.0.3(latest). But now i want to unlock it again to flash a custom kernel and rom. is it possible?

for the official update via pcc question it will inform you there is and update but you will not be able to install the official firmware through pcc even if UB and stock you can only update flashtool ftf file or with cwm flashable zip
yes you can relock your bootloader with flashtool to update the official way.
yes it will work especially if you are stuck in bootloop or brick as long as you can boot into flash or fastboot it

Dear Forum Members,
I would like to know if there is a way to completely remove rooting from my Z1 Compatc mobile as I'm unable to update my firmware via Sony ever since.
Thanks in advance.

use flashtool and inside of flashtool the tool "Xperifirm".
With that tool you can download latest firmwares .ftf
Flash downloaded firmware with flashtool.
And important: to receive Sony updates you have to relock your bootloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2642081
Cause unlocking bootloader "kills" the FOTA partition (for me this partition is very useful cause i flashed a permanent TWRP recovery inside it), but you need this partition for Sony updates via Sony Companion etc....
BUT: this method only works if you unlocked the bootloader the official way via Sony homepage
