Hello pals
Well I have a good news
All of you know about the FOTA update problems when your bootloader is unlocked. Well forget about it.
Simple as that, FOTA brick is past.
Now is possible to unlock bootloader and even repair the already unlocked ones to be able to update via FOTA.
So if you have this problem and you want to fix it you know what to do. (Send me a PM)
This process have no cost but if you want to buy me some Dr. Pepper you can donate
DONATE
You will need to download this: Download Me
And also a paperclip or wire will be needed.

OTA update is pointless anyway, most people who have unlocked bootloader know how to use flashtool..
Sent from my R800i using XDA App
I never use OTA of course, but you should see how many people comes to XDA asking for how to unbrick after OTA
Trust me there is a BIG point in this fix

Update!
Users with phones unlocked by omnius/others-tools can NOT use this fix without re-unlock the phone.
I think is caused by different signature certs
How about if you haven't unlocked the bootloader but have rooted? Will a factory reset allow safe updates? Will a factory reset put system apps back the way they should be, even if they've been changed? I changed BBC iPlayer for the one that allows connection to 3g. Will I have to put the original apk back in the system apps folder?

I dont think modded apks affects the OTA update.
Also you can update by ota with root.
Ok fair enough dude, suppose it good for some. Just useless for me that's all

Alejandrissimo,
Since I am a previous customer of your excellent service, is the service upgrade free?
And if so, will the process revert the current ROM to new phone settings?

There's a Factory Reset option in the settings...I did it before returning my 1st Tab (though it wasn't rooted). Would that work?

Im trying to retrace my steps and restored the nvflash backup img i created and figured out this only affects the recovery mode.
Im not sure if I need the zip file to unroot it and install using recovery mode.
Or maybe i should just delete the superuser apk?

Do I need to unlock my bootloader to use autoroot?
How I wish this update would be done via OTA..
main reason for me is I don't want to lose root and to I don't want to flash also because restoring 14gb+ of data will be a lot of work for me.. I'm thinking not to use titanium backup instead I will just copy all my sd card files to my PC as a backup file.. But I fear that if i return all my files back to sd card after update some apps/games might not work properly.
autoroot would be a great idea though, but I don't trust the guy who said it.. I think felix is just boosting his post count by lurking around this forum, giving incomplete details, always saying "there is already thread about that", and other non sense post just to boost his post count.. No pun intended felix..
I think many/most people with a locked bootloader are waiting for the ota (myself included). The ota for the arc xloud update came a while after it arrived on Pc Companion/SEUS so i guess it just a waiting game now for when it arrives.

Im not sure myself since i also have the play but i think it was a few weeks. I just noticed a similar discussion on the arc forum (about if they will loose root) and a few weeks later people were getting the update over ota. But like the last update not every country has had the ota update yet only some.
OTA update 4.0.A.2.368 available + remain rooted (arc)
got the update via OTA today! (Philippines)
and i managed to preserve root!
Yey!
I got the ota update last night. UK generic version

Thats how i did it anyway,you dont need unlocked B00TLoader to use FlashTooL so maybe try that?It may not work though and pretty risky too
I read somewhere you don't need unlocked bootloader to use flashtool but if you try to flash custom kernel via flashtool you need an unlocked bootloader....
I tried ota (uk generic) today but after download I get 'could not install software' error.
looks like someone over the arc section managed to do overclock with a locked bootloader
maybe someone will make it to xperia play

Apart from messing my ROM up (Which I've resolved by going to yours) it's pretty much straight forward.

Good news for all of you R800x users. Sony Mobile has finally added MEID support for unlocking your phone through their website (this could apply to other phones that use MEID as well).
I just went through the instructions on the Sony's website for getting the unlock code and then followed Ridder's guide and the install ran without any trouble (I'm not entirely sure if his process will work with other roms, can someone confirm this?)
I'm now off Verizon's horrible rom and running CM9 .
Anyways I just wanted to let people know, enjoy
*If youre having trouble with flashtool, try doing it using using the methods discussed in the links I provided above (Sony Instructions and Ridder). Alsomake sure you have Sony's Fastboot drivers installed.
Awesome I guess, can anyone confirm this for Locked R800i models? Mine is a factory unlocked, I'm just curious if Sony decided to provide a free unlock for everyone since they abandoned us on Gingerbread.

Its worth a try. Follow the steps on the unlockbootloader link I gave above, it tells you how to check if you can unlock, and what else needs to be done.
Great news!

Yea It worked finally on CM 9!
Although my phones bootloader was unlocked over a year ago via the unlock code (thank you ashergrey) I have embedded a screenshot of what I see if I follow the prompts to unlock my phones BL, even though it is....
I just went ahead and listed my phones MEID # in the sony website and 3 seconds later had this in my email inbox.
See attachment.
As I am already unlocked it appears that Sony really is now unlocking VZ Xplays. My contract ends in 2 months and I am thinking of just getting an AT&T XP and unlocking that, can anyone with a AT&T XP see if it will work for them? That would be fantastic news if it will unlock AT&Ts as well.
Yay!

I cannot as my phone is factory unlocked, and even if I did relock my bootloader it isn't network locked so I could have always unlocked it,
My Att play still has a locked bootloader and apparently my MEID is 1 number too long. Eh, it was worth a try.

This should and will be possible once Devs start making ROMS multicarrier compatible. FreeGS4 will most definitely support all carriers.
Yea with the Note 2 you could flash other carriers Roms. So with time we should be able.
