Hi there. I had a doubt regarding Xperia S in general. Can we still update our phones via PCC or SUS even if our bootloader is unlocked?
Thanks in advance

No, you can only use FlashTool[by Sony] or Flashtool[by Androxide] to flash ftf

Yea you can if you relock your bootloader. The advantages you will get after relocking will be bravia engine, you can receive updates through sony pc companion but you won't able to flash any custom ROM (CM 10 , CM 10.1 etc etc) or any kernel.

My wife is pissed off as am also flashing different ROMs time to time causing her to lose her angry birds progress
^^ I have the gadgetshieldz' full body cover on my xperia sl. Cheap and effective.

Thanks to kangi26 ( Forum moderator) , this thread has been made as a sticky.
Could anyone tell me about a hack/tweak/app that change the vibration feedback intensity? Esp. the haptic feedback when pressing the soft buttons to control back-home-menu. I feel the feedback is bit too much.
hi guys ,
if i unlock my xs's boot-loader , what functions will i loose other than BE and music-info ? because these functions can be back by relocking BL again .
thanks !

AFAIK, BE, Music Info, update support via Sony Update Service and PCM... That is all... Apart from that, it opens up a whole lot of new opportunities to go crazy with your device..

Hi everybody !
i just updated my xperia sl from 4.0.4 to 4.1.2 ! I want to use on screen buttons rather than its default capacitive buttons.
how can i do that ?
I think its not possible without rooting so is there any idea to root the latest official ROM of sony xperia s or sl ?
thanks in advance !
Yes it would be great, but as I searched the web currently there is not root for Xperia S JB yet. Keep waiting devs won't make us wait for a long time

Just add this to your build.prop at the end -

Well Doom has clearly stated that this rom can be flashed on locked bootloader too. All he needs right now is stock ics with CWM installed and then he can flash the rom
Plus cwm is available even for locked bootloader now
But CWM is not fully working. And it's outdated version.

Yes, u r exactly right, before updating via SUS, to install pre-rooted JB, I had tried with installed CWM(locked bootloader, stock ICS 4.0.4) downloading that ROM but CWM didn't work properly. Isn't there any other way to get root acess till now @ 6.2.B.0.200 (locked bootloader)?
