You SHOULD flash custom kernel (e.g rage, krsh) to get cwm, not by using rom manager afaik.
BTW, i think this should be posted in general section?

In your 1st post, you mentioned that you have relocked your bootloader. Are you sure you already unlock it back before flashing krsh? Sounds like you dont (stuck at s.e logo) and how does you go into cwm if your phone stuck at there?
The steps is simple:
1. Unlock your bootloader ( i dont recommend testpoint method)
2. Flash kernel
3. Now you have cwm with preroot!
Edit: seems i missed some point of your original post. Now, you want to relock or want to get cwm? Ive successfully relock mine once but i dont see any point for that since drm is gone forever and warranty have been void. I done it just out of curiosity. Just use the search tool or google.

krsh and hybrom are not compatible, try rage and hybrom.

And Step by Step Guide:
1] Download the files given above in requirements.
2] Install Flashtool anywhere you want but remember the installation lockation (Let it be "C:\Flashtool" )
3] Now copy the “Xperia Relock bootloader.ftf” file that you downloaded above, and paste it inside the “firmwares” folder located at ("C:\Flashtool\firmwares\")
4] Now double click on the “FlashTool.exe” file to run the program.

8] Now while you keep holding volume key, plug in the usb cable to your phone and you will see "green" light in your led.Flashtool popup will dissapear and the process will start.It will get finish in some time.
Flashtool will automatically start the flashing process.
Keep an eye on the Flashtool’s screen.
And once the process gets finished, disconnect your phone from PC and switch it ON.
