Will Sony warranty still cover me if I flash via flashtool another country's stock Sony firmware ? (Of course without root and with locked bootloader).
I ask because there is no .ftf file for my country's firmware anywhere uploaded. Thanks

You asked on your other thread the other day so not sure why you feel the need to start another. You could flash an ftf and destroy your Phone on the first attempt, it's highly unlikely but could happen so there are no guarantees that that won't happen or that Sony will repair under warranty.

Your warranty won't be void if you flash a firmware from another country...

Thank you guys ! But there is no definite answer here! I From my android experience I tend to agree with zxz0O0 (Samsung had this policy) but I can't say I'm sure.

Using third party software to mod your device is a risk you take as to whether or not you'll be covered by warranty regardless of the manufacturer, so you can deliberate over the risks or just crack on and do it. In the 4 years I've been here and 5 Xperias later I've never had to send a Phone for any kind of repair and the handful of People I've seen that have have been extremely unlucky and/or maybe shouldn't have been allowed to mess with a Nokia.
