I think you are talking about OTA ??
You can't have OTA in a unlocked or relocked phone.
Use Flashtool to flash the FTF.

Does the bootloader update when you install a new version of a stock rom such as 2.3.4 or how do you update it?
No, once you unlock it, it's going to stay unlocked unless you do a fastboot oem lock
There is no such thing as updating the bootloader
Right now I have the 4.0.4 Android( stock version) of the xperia j with locked bootloader and I've rooted-it and I've also installed the CWM.
I would like to install Cyanogen Mod 10.1 but since I have the 11.0.A.7.5 firmware I have locked bootloader and I can not flash it.
My question is if I can flash an older stock firmware and by doing so will I be able to unlock my bootloader?
From what I understand right now since I have a locked bootloader I can only flash stock ROMs so if that is correct than can I just flash an older stock ROM, one that will allow me to unlock my bootloader and than flash CM 10.1 on my Xperia J?
And another question- I know that by unlocking the bootloader I will also loose my warranty but from searching the XDA forums I saw that I can make a backup copy of my stock ROM and flash it to relock the bootloader again. Is that accurate ?
Thanks in advance for your help!
First is your bootloader unlockable. Then you can unlock on any firmware via sonys website. I dont think there's a cm10.1 released for j. If you unlock your bootloader you will loose DRM keys forever even if you relock they will still be gone that's how Sony will know your bootloader was unlocked.
It is not unlockable, that is why I wanted to flash another version of a stock ICS.
Won't that allow me to unlock the bootloader ?
From what I understood right now I can only flash stock Roms with the locked bootloader, is it correct or since I have the "NO" status at the bootloader I can't even do any of that ?
Hi all !!!
As soon as I received my ZS551KL, I unlocked bootloader, installed TWRP and rooted it.
I cannot update to Android 8 because my bootloader is unlocked, but I cannot found how to relock it for updating. I have tried fastboot oem lock and fastboot oem relock in fastboot mode without success.
Do you know how to do it?
Thank you so much :good:
You can flash raffyvito's modified Oreo zip, that way you get the stock recovery from which you flash the official Asus zip with the firmware updates, then you flash TWRP again and you're golden. You should check out his thread.
Hi guys. Do we have any news on how to relock the bootloader? Also can someone of you share the stock oreo recovery?
Hello,
A few days ago I managed to go back to a stock rom from a custom one. I have a FRD-L09432B360 firmware at the moment, but the bootloader is unlocked. I don't remember the code I used to unlock the bootloader, and I'd like to relock the bootloader so I am able to update to the latest firmwares. I've read that by downgrading to Marshmellow the bootloader will relock itself.
I am following this guide to do so, but when I reboot to apply the UPDATE.APP of the rollback package, it get stucks on 5% for a while, and after a few minutes it reboots, leaving me with the same firmware.
Is there something I am doing wrong?
Is there another way to relock the bootloader without the unlocking code?
Thanks a lot,
Mcat
I still haven't been able to fix this issue? Any idea is appreciated, thanks
You don't need to relock the bootloader to update. Use hurupdater
Is there a safe way to lock the bootloader for ota updates yet? Waiting to unlock until then.
No, but you can update manually with the stock recovery just by following this instructions. No need for OTA
