First,all you need to do is download below file to process:
Flashtool version v0.9.9.0 (Google search it)
The require relock bootloader file in below (Extract the tft file to your pc after download)
After download all the file,you are now ready to relock your bootloader:
1)Power Off your phone
2)Open up flashtool
3)After open up flashtool,now click the left side first icon,then you will be ask to choose which mode you want {1)Flashmode 2)Fastbootmode}
4)Now select Flashmode
5)Connect your phone to your pc in flashmode using data cable (Hold volume DOWN key)
6)Now select the tft file where you store in
7)At the right side Option tick the No Final Verification
8)That will flash automatically
9)After that reboot your phone and you will see your bootloader is relock now ENJOY!!!
NOTE:
Before flashing,don't forget to BACKUP your file
FLASH IT AT YOUR OWN RISK,I NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR BRICKED DEVICE,DEAD SD CARDS
After flashing,you will ABLE to download the latest official firmware from SONY.
FAQ:
Q:Why relock your bootloader?
A:You can do an offcial update from SONY via Sony PC Companion and repair your fw at SEUS!!!

Officially Unlocked Bootloader
I don't want to unlock my bootloader the unofficial way.. I am not exactly Mr. Safe Hands so I am afraid I'll mess it up.
But I want to Unlock my bootloader officially. Because I know we can relock it later.
Whenever I soft brick my phone, I use Sony Update Service to fix it. But I am aware I can't do that if I unlock my bootloader the official way.
So how do I fix a soft brick after I unlock my bootloader the official way?
I would bow down with gratitude if someone could please share a step by step method
Thank You
Hey this is a dead thread (by me )
But hey dude
dont think that seus will help you always in my situation it didnt.
I used flash tool to unbrick.(from soft brick)
Also if you rellock with oficial method it will be in re-locked state and not Locked
you wont be able to recover because some keys will be lost...
anyway i dont reccomend unlocking anyway.

I've already unlocked! And I changed my kernel.
But I figured it out! Using flashtool.. I can fix a soft brick even if my bootloader is unlocked. I didn't like SUS much anyway.. I have a very slow net connection and, therefore, absolutely hate to watch the files download.
Flashtool is awesome!

when you flash an ftf file or a custom kernel, flashtool shows :
BOOTLOADER STATUS: ROOTED ..
try that way.. hope this helps
Help?!!!
Anyone??!!
Hit thnx if I helped you !!
What Rom are you on? Go to /system/app and see if there is ServiceMenu.apk inside that or not. Because thats what opens when you type that code. It has a green icon. If not download it from the system dump. Copy it to the above destination and change permissions to rw-r--r-- and reboot.

Take this tool for unlocking your bootloader.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1560613
At the moment the link is down. I will upload it again when I am at home.
This tool is like unlocking via Sony method. You will lose drm.
At the moment I am on jjhybrid. I also pushed service.apk to system and gave permission and it didn't work.
Flash back a stock rom and look if your phone is allowed to unlock the bootloader.

Try this for Service Menu
1- Lock the screen by pressing power button ---(Screen Off)
2- Press power button again -------------------(Screen on but still locked
3- Press the hardware keys like that "HOME,BACK,BACK,HOME,BACK,HOME,HOME,BACK"
4- You should see the service menu

No it doesnot require unlocked bootloader.
First select the .ftf you want to flash in flashtool.It will start preparing the files.After 10-15 sec,it will ask you to connect your phone in flashmode.
How to enter flashmode:
Power off your phone.
Connect your phone to PC with volume down button pressed.
It will enter into flashmode.

With unlocked bootloader,you can flash custom kernels.These make your phone fast and smooth and can increase battery life.
You can always root your phone with unlocked bootllader.
And the BIGGEST pros of unlocked bootloader is you can flash "Jelly Bean" which is almost fully functional and stable for daily use.

Great! Thanks for clearing this up. Will definitely be doing that on my gf's phone. Have JB on my HTC One S, would love that on her phone, although the ICS ROMs that are out for the Xperia U seem pretty awesome as well.

ICS roms are good too but JB is smoother than them.

I don't know.I have unlocked bootloader and now I can root any fw without any hassle.You should unlock it too.
You just have to flash custom kernel which has autoroot and you will be rooted.

PCC would not update unlocked boot loaders.
You can relock your boot loader and PCC wil update.
Or you can build ftf file from PCC files, and flash with flashtool.
How to Create an FTF file of Your Xperia ICS Firmware
I have used both methods, and both worked. I reccomend the second, this way you always have the original firmware in case you need it.

You flashed a custom kernel? Thats why....
did you unlock your bootloader at unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com?
As my signature says, i hate unlocking bootloader. This is the reason why as problems like this pops out after you unlock. If you were looking for root, update your phone (after its fixed) and root using doomlord's root in the xperia p dev. forum.
