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?
why when i downloaded flashtool it has the file 'X10_V1_BLRelock' what is this used for, is it safe to flash with this file in firmwire?
edit:- wouldnt even start flashing without it
It's to lock the bootloader of an Xperia X10 device i believe,
So I wouldn't try it with an Xperia play

no problem, will delete it

Download x-parts in google play, there you can easily install cwm and it works for locked bootloader

If i am sure Xperia S and Xperia SL are the same devices, only difference is Cpu clock(S-1.5 Ghz SL-1.7 Ghz) So i think its the same relock way as with Xperia S.

I am pretty sure that the relocking ftf file over here works for S and SL - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1527159
Also, before you relock, just be sure to flash stock ics first with Flashtool and then flash the relocking ftf file.
Btw, you can still update to official JB with an unlocked bootloader. Once someone receives the update in his/her country, the ftf file will be made and released here for everyone. Also, Sony has their official Flashtool for unlocked bootloader devices.

Yes. You Can Flash Relock ftf. Both Are Same Device With Different Clock Speed.
It should not create any issue.
USING FLASHTOOL
First Flash The ICS (Exclude TA in Options)
Then, Flash The FTF Relock (Include TA in options)

There are two different 'FlashTool's.
One is from Sony (that's not the one you want to use) and the other is Androxyde's FlashTool.
Androxyde's FlashTool allows you to flash .ftf files and also unlock and relock your BL.

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
