You have to be in fastboot mode for the code to work..
Connect USB with vol up pressed,Install the drivers required..and see if led turns blue on phone..then
fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version
You should get 0.3
Hope i helped you

You dont have to place them..Just connect your xperia ray..Device manager will show an android device..click update drivers and point to the drivers of xperia ray..thats all...then you should get it right..
All instructions are clearly specified at unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com..just read it once..
Is It Solved??

From the command promt, type fastboot flash boot boot.img.
No need to write any thing but first you should have to setup the driver of your phone to your computer..... you will see that one in the device manager from the properties of your PC.

Fastboot drivers installed?
Where do get drivers?
Solution. Download flastool, install it, navigate C:/ Flashtool/ Drivers and install drivers.
And after that make restart your pc.
Edit: you can flash kernel with flashtool also, and its "must be tool for android fans"

You can try using FlashTool, it is easier to load new kernels than CLI.
Just open FlashTool, connect your phone in fastboot mode, then click on the flash/lighting icon, select fastboot mode, then select kernel to flash and navigate to the folder where you have the kernel image.

a common mistake that may be happen through this method is that your inputing all 15 numbers of your IMEI in SE official site.
only first 14 numbers must be inputed and last one not,if you give all 15 numbers it gives you wrong code and may be your problem was due to that
Good Luck
another common problem was when just direct pasting the KEY and sometimes when you type the KEY manually and you didn't press capslock.

Hi,
Has anyone been able to successfully relock their bootloader after erasing and flashing stock firmware?
The fastboot command "fastboot oem lock" returns:
"FAILED (remote: 'Command not supported in default implementation')
fastboot: error: Command failed"
Maybe you reboot on wrong fastboot mode, or Try use latest adb fastboot

Unfortunately I think Sony my have blocked the ability to relock the bootloader
I am using latest 'platform-tools_r33.0.3-windows' and I've also installed specific Sony fastboot driver from Sony Developers.
I am booting into default 'fastbootd' mode.
So this command aint work ?
fastboot oem lock
Yes that is correct, it seems that Sony have sealed up the ability to relock ourselves

You should have read my Guides.
fastboot reboot fastboot is the only command You'll need to switch between fastboot and fastbootd.
But just turn off Your Phone. Hold Volume Up and Connect USB. Blue LED and Done
fastboot oem lock
Done
Do a Software Repair with Xperia Companion after. Just liike told in My Guides. Enjoy
I have a Sony Xperia L3 and i have tried to root but it seems impossible. How can i do it? I have tried to root the phone with Sony Xperia C Root but it could not do it. Kingo Root is the same, fail. Also tried dr.fone but it did not support l3.
You must unlock the bootloader and then follow this steps: https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html
I have check and my phone can be unlocked, i have downloaded fastboot but i do not understand what to do next. I got to step 8 https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/ i can see my phone in the command line, what to do next?
I cannot find the fastboot icon under devices and printers
I got to https://mobilewithdrivers.com/unlock-bootloader/sony-xperia-l3-32gb-3gb-ram i got it into fastboot mode but no commands works, fastboot flashing unlock, fastboot oem unlock. Unknown command, command not allowed.
Should i have a unlock code? I only see Xpeira L2 on the site for getting a unlock code, no L3 https://www.getdroidtips.com/unlock-bootloader-xperia-device/
It seems to be something wrong in developer mode, oem do not turn on, no green, it is just off.

What's phone's Android version? Android 8.1 ? If so, look inside here:
[HOW TO] Root Android 8.1 - DevPreview 1 - OPP5
There are probably already a couple guides up, but I wanted to post about how I went about doing this and have everything working. It may not work for everyone, but for me, it worked the first time. 0: Yep, there is a step zero here. :good...

Thanks. I cannot unlock the bootloader to try. I do not get the oem under development mode to work. It is only off. I can't get it on to unlock the bootloader.
Why not contact Sony ?

I tried the guide https://www.kingoapp.com/root-tutorials/how-to-unlock-bootloader-android-device.htm i get it to fastboot and the light is blue but i only get. Failed remote: Command not allowed, Finished. total times 0.045s.
What Fastboot command did you run?
BTW: Install the suitable Fastboot driver provided by Sony, if not already done yet.
I tried
Use the Command Prompt window to retrieve your unlock key as described by your manufacturer. If you own a Motorola device run the command: fastboot oem get_unlock_data, HTC run the command: fastboot oem get_identifier_token.
Select the token which is spit out by the Command Prompt window and copy and paste it into the applicable box of the form on your manufacturer's website without any spaces.
And: fastboot -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0x07B7BFEA7AC879F0 https://www.getdroidtips.com/unlock-bootloader-sony-xperia-x-f5121f5122/
I downloaded android_winusb.inf were should i add it?
Don't understand what you've downloaded. It's an ADB driver.
Contents of relevant ADB driver 's .ZIP-file is

In the Disk... dialog box, click... Click OK.
Highlight the Sony xxxxxx ADB Interface Driver file and then click Next twice. The installation starts.
Click Finish and restart the computer.
I get this.
I also tried https://techbeasts.com/how-to-unlock-bootloader-of-sony-xperia-devices-guide/ the problem in fastboot seems to be that i- becomes and unknown option
https://forums.androidcentral.com/t...tloader-fastboot-exe-unknown-option-i.895276/ fastboot R26 seems to work for the most i have the 34. platform-tools v 28.0.0 does not work with the provided command from the official manual.
Yes it was the version, it is the second time i try to mess with andriod phones. I learn more and more. I tried fastboot.exe i- 0x0fce getvar version and i got version 0.5, finished, total time 0.000s
I tried fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0x and got FAILED, command not allowed. I did only find Sony L, L1 and L2 on sony oem https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/get-started/unlock-bootloader/#unlock-code can it be that? I remeber i had a Sony Xperia X code.
I also tried fastboot flashing unlock, FAILED unknown command. with fastboot devices i got my phone visable.
