Help me with Relock

Hello Friends,

XPERIA PRO

First I unlocked my bootloader using sony official method.

Then I recloked it using the ftf provided.

Now when I again tried to unlock it via official method it says unlock request fails in fastboot.

Then I tried to unlock with FlashTool and it unlocked the BL but in the service menu it still says Bootloader Unlock Allowed : Yes. But it should be bootloader unlocked: yes as it was earlier.

Thought I was able to root it using normal method of DoomLoord by swapping old kernel as I did earlier but when I tried to flash kernel for cm11 it failed.

Log is here.

Code:
12/024/2012 01:24:41 - INFO - Root Access Allowed
12/025/2013 01:25:24 - INFO - Launching Fastboot Toolbox 1.0 by DooMLoRD

FAILED (remote: The Device must be rooted first)
finished. total time: 0.001s

I want to install CM11 and it's giving me an headache.. can anyone help me please :(

SOLVED: :) I solved it myself. but anyways a big thanks to community for a lot of tutorials. I found that the second time I erroneously typed wrong IMEI so I got wrong unlock code from sony. So users who face problems like me are to look for this reason. One more thing that I found even with wrong code flashtool locks and unlocks the phone but actually it does nothing with a wrong code.

You yourself have quoted that
"this is only for Those Who unlocked bl via OFFICIAL WAY ONLY "
And then,you're asking that sorta question :rolleyes:
For Unofficial Unlocked bl,use Setool option of. "restore "
Also,do not update OTA cos chances of you bricking it are high ,especially for unlocked bl phones
Just use Flashtool to flash stock Rom !
Also good for you regarding your new phone ;)

So if i unlocked my bootloader by s1tool. How can i relock my bootloader? Is it something different by unlocking the bootloader with s1tool, than with the official method?
Because in my phone some kernels doesnt works, and the other people who unlocked it with the official method worked fine.
My plan is, relock the bootloader and then unlock it by the official method.
If i relock it, will it say "Bootloader unlock allowed: YES" or "NOT" ??

Use the restore button in S1Tool to relock bootloader.
It should say Bootloader unlock allowed: YES once you relock it with S1Tool
