I made the complete setup and now my PC Companion tells me, that a new update ist avaiable. The update prcoess failed each time. After short search in several forums I read about the bootloader. I checked in the service menu and my bootloader is unlocked. But I didn't unlock this phone. So I received a new phone without boot loader locked. So here my questions:</P><P>- is their any way to get the settings back (I don't think so)</P><P>- how do I now get updates on my phone? What do I have for possibilities when Sony Update Center failes all the time?</P><P>Thank you very much for your answers.</P><P>best regards</P><P>Steve</P> Sun, 04 Jan 2015 00:41:54 GMT https://community.sony.com.mk/t5/xperia-archive/problems-with-update-and-boot-loader/m-p/3345455#M463088 steve25 2015-01-04T00:41:54Z https://community.sony.com.mk/t5/xperia-archive/problems-with-update-and-boot-loader/m-p/3345456#M463089 <P>If you bought your phone new in this condition then take it back as you will be able to prove it wasn't you as a code request form will have been filed along with an email and if this was before you bought it then you should be entitled to a replacement, However to lock the bootloader use Flashtool and once installed select BLU and follow the instructions but&nbsp;beware that as the BL is unlocked your DRM keys will be lost thus certain features will no longer work regardless of&nbsp;whether or not you relock the bootloader</P> Sun, 04 Jan 2015 00:47:23 GMT https://community.sony.com.mk/t5/xperia-archive/problems-with-update-and-boot-loader/m-p/3345456#M463089 Thommo 2015-01-04T00:47:23Z
