I'm trying to unlock my Xperia L's bootloader. I used Flashtool, went through the process, entered the unlock code and clicked 'Unlock'... and it's stuck with the boot animation cycling. One thing I noticed in flash tool was this error message after I selected unlock:

20/038/2014 12:38:36 - ERROR - Error saving unlock code : /Volumes/FlashTool/FlashTool.app/Contents/MacOS/custom/mydevices/ZH8001BBFK/ulcode.txt (No such file or directory)


Any advice? I've tried relocking using Flashtool but it's still stuck.

What else can I try to unlock the bootloader then?
There is a almost sure shot method..
Search for doomloard adb and fastboot.zip its 300kb or something
Dl that n extract that .
Connect ur phone in fastboot mode
On that folder press shift n right click n press open command window
N type a command..umm u can find it unlock bootloader page..starts with fastboot getjar..two commands..if u google that..ul get em

Use flashtool to unlock the bootloader. It's simple and very easy. All you need to do is paste the unlock code you receive from Sony. If you are still not unlocked, i would recommend to backup your TA partition first in case you want to regain your DRM keys.

Best of luck
Hit thanks if it helped
