Don't put Locked BL in the title, you only managed to root because your phone was unlockable. Putting Locked BL in the title states that your bootloader can also be locked for this method to work, and but unless your ZL can be bootloader unlocked, this method cannot be used for locked BL

this is the recovery i used http://nut.xperia-files.com/download.php?dlid=WkwtbG9ja2VkZHVhbHJlY292ZXJ5Mi43LjQzLUJFVEE=

if you still get bootloop just root it and install recovery using your pc. use nut's dual recovery for lockedbootloader for windows.

will these step factory reset the device or will it keep all my apps/settings?

Is the purpose of relocking the device is to keep bravia engine?

It will reset your device if u put a check on wipe apps log on flashtool. I recommend a clean install to avoid problems.
Yes i relocked it to regain BE2 for photos

I already updated my phone to 4.3 version, but I'm really missing the root, so, my question is, can i make a rollback to 4.2 version using the flhashtool without any problem?

Another question. I want only root and stock kernel, so, in the step 6 what i have to do? Or I'll got the stock kernel following his steps?
