No, downloading flashtool from flashtool.net should have everything you need to relock

I cant exactly remember the steps but one of them alows you to unlock your bootloader
If its already unlocked then it will give you an option to relock
It should provide all other instructions i havent explained here
when I click the BLU button on flashtool it says connect your phone holding volume down. whe I did that, the proces was cancelled. and I still cant re-lock the bootloader.

Do you have all the drivers installed for Z2, fastboot, flashmode and adb?
Power off your phone
Plug in holding volume down
Blue light should show up

your bootloader is NOT unlocked.... but you CAN unlock it...thats what it says....so you didnt buy a z2 with unlocked bootloader... i am pretty sure you cant buy one with unlocked bl....you have no warranty....
it would say bootloader unlocked: yes if it was unlocked
it would say bootloader unlock allowed: yes if your device was unlockable
oh... thx everyone then

Why you don't use testpoint method ?
It keeps your warranty while official method doesn't.

Who says? Maybe they won't notice you've lost DRM. I can flash with PC companion fine with a relocked bootloader.
On-topic: Is your phone carrier branded?

I unlock my bootloader using testpoint. if i relock it. does sony recognized that i unlocked it or they don't recognized it. and one question how to relock my bootloader? Thanks!
No one has yet taken their phone to service with unlocked/patched bootloader, so we don't know if they can detect it or not.
Depending on which application you used. If S1Tool, then there should be Restore button available, click that button.
Thanks for the information! one more question. if i restore it to S1Tool do i need an testpoint again? and it will back to original locked bootloader? Thanks for your Answer

Use xperia code *#*#7378423#*#* and use the menus to see if bootloader has been unlocked..if the drm keys are missing or not (which mine are still intact even after unlocking bootloader?)

No this means your bootloader is locked and you can unlock it.. If it was unlocked it would have shown
Bootloader unlocked: yes
For recovery power on your phone and when you feel the first vibrate or see the Sony logo keep pressing the volume up or down button continuously.. Then you will enter recovery..

I need to know more about these things. Can u help me pls? I enter recovery mode, its philps touch recovery.
What it the use of unlocking bootloader?
he could relocked bootloader.
Get into service menu (*#*#7378423#*#*) and navigate to Service Tests -> Security and check keys:
MARLIN [Key OK][Active]
CKB [Key OK][Active]
WIDEVINE [Key OK][Active]
If it looks like above, everything is fine with DRM keys and bootloader. This phone has XZ Dual Recovery and it doesn't require unlocked bootloader
I had checked service test
MARLIN[unknown Error][active ]
CKB[unknown Error][active ]
WIDEWINE[unknown Error][active ]

It's possible to relock bootloader for Xperia X F5122 after unlock?
You can. But there's no way to recover DRM keys for now.

Relocked and Camera NOT Working... - Unlock, and it works.
Hi everyone, i have unlocked my Xperia X f5122 34.0.A.2.292 bootloader (Sadly)
after unlocking i noticed some functions like X-Reality not working anymore on my device...
i wanted to relock it again using flashtool, and i did it easily
but after relock camera will not work (camera app hangs when i press button or touch) - third party apps not working too.
when i unlock it again, i get camera working...
is there any way to relock bootloader and make camera work like when device is unlocked?
(sorry for bad english)

Don't know how to fix it but you could just flash this kernel:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-x/development/root-xperia-x-34-0-2-292-modified-t3449708
All functions like x-reality will work with this kernel
Relock then FLash? hmmm

Thank for Reply,
so you mean i have to relock bootloader then flash that kernel then unroot with super su?
can i get relocked boot loader and everything OK that way?
but for flashing that kernel i have to unlock boot loader
maybe this works? :
i unlock bootloader then flash kernel then unroot and then relock bootloader
but that way android ask me for patttern at srart which i dont know what is it so i have to draw wrong pattern 30 times to get device factory reset.
i dont know after than kernel will stay there or not.
its like 1 week im working on this device day and night

Problably not, you've unlocked your bootloader so your TA-partition is whiped meaning you lost your DRM keys. You can not get them back anymore. So without a kernel with DRM-fix you wont get functions like x-reality back. So just keep your bootloader unlocked and use a custom kernel with DRM-fix and you'll be fine.

Got a question, hope you can help me.
How close is that DRM-fix to the original DRM keys in terms of quality?

Is it possible to make the "bootloader is unlocked" message when booting up disappear?
No, only by relocking your bootloader.

Isn't Xperia XA came out on Android 6.01 ? if that so then you can use DirtyCow script to extract drm keys / TA.img.

you can block the bootlader now in android 8 and the camera is work
Hello: Someone can tell me if after opening it, the booloader can be blocked again. I have the DRM keys. I tried to do it by Flash Tool, but when I turn on the phone it always asks me for the android key and I do not know what it is.
Thank you.
I answer: Easy with oreo. An ftf of oreo is installed by flashtool and the mobile starts, we accept debug usb and developer mode. The mobile is turned off and reconnected to flashtool, given to the blu and relock option. When finished, disconnect the mobile and turn it on. Ask for Android key, well, it turns off and connects to xperia companion. The repair firmware option is given and the instructions are followed and when finished we have repaired oreo and the bootloader as before unlocking it.
Kisses, applause and thanks to all those who have helped me with the comments.
Hello all,
I have been struggling to unlock bootloader of this phone. I let's me chose power up to unlock bootloader but then just normally boots without any wipes and in dev option the bootloader is not grayed out.
There is no bootloader unlock warning while rebooting aswell
Any help will be appreciated
Thank you

The OEM unlocking option doesn't necessarily have to be grayed out to indicate that bootloader is unlocked.
The option has to be enabled tho if bootloader is unlocked.
Try reflashing stock firmware via Odin. Then try to unlock bootloader again.

I tried flashing another rom aswell
As my binary is U, could that be an issue ? Once I click volume up button to unlock bootloader it just restarts nothing else happens

Binary version is not U. It's UX where X is a number. For A10, the latest binary version is U3
Did press volume up or did u hold volume up?
