Yes, backups from a locked bootloader work on an unlocked bootloader. And it does not relock the bootloader.
Thank you made my decision much easier

no i havent unlocked my bootloader or sim lock and such.
im more than happy if you tell me the step by step
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
there's instructions here, the first page covers service menu and whether the bootloader can be unlocked for your phone. You can check the simlock in the same service menu.
The development stuff that they said to download was missing fastboot.exe so I hopefully attached that along with the drivers.
If you can and do unlock it, then it's time to worry about how to flash a new kernel

Use the official method to unlock the bootloader. It is the safest, but you will lose your drm keys - not that it makes much of a difference. This is the link - http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions
Next time please search before creating a new thread.

So is there any way to flash JB on an Xperia U with locked bootloader? Or any hack to unlock the bootloader?

No, there is no way to flash JB on locked BL.
You can unlock the bootloader using Sony official tool/website for unlocking bl
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com
Before unlocking you can backup your TA partition, in case you wanted to give the phone to warranty. Later you can restore it - phone will be locked again and they will not know it was unlocked.

Then you can't unlock your bootloader, no means as of now to overcome this.

I dont think you should feel sad because of that. My bl can be unlocked, but after using custom kernel for 2days my phone became unusuable dur to extreme lags. That's why i stay with stock ROMS. They are good enough .

Guys...
I have a serious (not really serious, but kind of...) problem.
I got a Xperia U the other day. I've rooted it and flashed CWM 6.0.1.2... I really want to try CM11 on it. But the thing is that the bootloader is locked... and it seems that there's no way to unlock it since it says "Bootloader unlock allowed: NO".
So the thing is:
There's any way to unlock the bootloader? Maybe flashing a previous firmware?
Or can I flash a ROM via CWM without problems?
I've seen the procedure to unlock bootloader on Sony's page... If I do it (even when my phone says that bootloader unlock is denied)... will I break the phone?
Please answer this. I'm new and I can't post on dedicated forums
My firmware is 6.1.1.B.1.54 and I'm using 4.0.4 ICS
Please...
Someone?
:'(
No way to run JB or higher with the locked bootloader. Best you can do is CM9...

Oh.
I've seen that before... But not really wanting to be without my phone for so long time. I actually have the code for the SIM Unlock... But thought there was an easier way.
Anyway...
Can I really flash CM9 with no "collateral damage" or serious risks of bricking?

SIM unlock and bootloader unlock are very different things. There's always a risk of soft bricking when installing, but nothing the original firmware, the flash tool, and about 10 minutes of time wouldn't fix.

Thank you anyway. I'll be looking for a proper CM9 ROM for my phone!

You didn't read all of the thread then. Sony says you just have to have the phone have the bootloader unlock option say "Yes" in the settings. Nothing to do with the SIM lock or unlock. Plus none of the other Xperia phones that are bootloader unlockable I've seen or worked on require that, so would seem odd just for this one.

Because I've tried unlocking it (ignoring the impossibility of doing that) but either the tools didn't do anything or just didn't work.
And as I said before... I wont wait a week for having it unlocked with Sony.

You lost me somewhere along the way here... So your phone does or does not have an unlockable bootloader? If it IS unlockable, then why do you think it takes a week? Last few Sonys I unlocked, I received the code within a minute or 2.
