Well setool method is better, allow you to be unlocked sim/bootloader and you still can use OTA updates and pc companion for updates.
add me to gtalk if you need help with that: alejandrissimo[at]gmail.com
Tnx but I already purchased from omnius..
Thx anyway

Hey Alejandrissimo I had my phone unlocked by you a couple months ago and was wondering if I was to do an OTA update would that brick my phone?

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.

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?

Hey, loads of you have unlocked bootloaders and I'm wondering if i should unlock mine. I'm a heavy xperia arc user but I am not a developer or anything. Does doomlords kernal make your phone FAST? Do you recommend me unlocking?
Sent from my LT15i using XDA App
I'd say do it.
Can root every ROM and DooMKernel is great (overclock and other mods)
And most ROMs need a custom kernel --> unlocked bootloader needed

For some reason, every time I try to install a custom ROM in CWM (Gingerbread, not ICS), my phone doesn't get past the bootloader after installing it with CWM. I installed some themes through CWM, so it works for them.I've tried Arconium 7.3 and GingerChaosFZ, none of them work. I have an Arc S and my phone's bootloader is locked and I'm on baseband 56, if that matters.
Almost all custom roms requires the phone's bootloader to be unlocked and requires a specific kernel ( which again requires bootloader unlocked for it to be flashed ) .
Better read the related information before trying out ( and later repenting )

Changing your ROM to a different variant won't affect bootloaders. Try the service menu afterward and you'll get the exact same result.

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