but manually flashing will erase warranty??
No it will not it is safe method , doesnt void warranty.
so what is method??
as i search for it we should unlock boot loader and as i know it void warranty..
Well i don't where did you read this line..a kind of noob must have written it :P
Flashing doesn't need Rooting, No bootloader unlokcing , No warranty is lost.
Check this link we have all steps listed here how to flash...( steps are for XS, but same goes for every phone ) - https://www.gizmobolt.com/2013/06/20/how-to-flash-xperia-s-sl-jelly-bean-6-2-b-0-211-world-india-ftf-file/
k.. thanx..
by d way i read this https://www.gizmobolt.com/2013/05/17/update-manually-xperia-phone-by-flashing-ftf-file-via-xperia-flash-tool/
and will flashing erase all my data.. likegames.. apps.. contacts.. etc??
Well when you flash there is option Wipe > Data, Cache, Log - If you check them then it gets wiped otherwise not.
Recommended - Back Up your phone via PC Companion and get all apks backed up by any antivirus like AVG or other software ( now you have full data backed up ).
It is always recommended when you flashing to do a full factory reset phone swiping internal data and then do flashing wiping all data and cache so that no previous file of firmware is left and you get a fresh smooth installation.

Yes update it :)

Please, help me, friend.
I've updated my C2104 - 15.0.a.1.31 to 2.17 using Flash Tool...
But now my 3g connection doesn't work...
I'd like to restore my previous firmware version but it seems impossible... (2.17 is not available in PC Companion here in Brazil, but when I restore, it always restore as if 2.17 was the original version)
What should I do?
Thanks!
contact Sony service center and ask them to update your phone via EMMA software, there they have the list of all firmwares available.
