If you are using any FTF file in relocking your bootloader it will fail because all Sony phones 2013+ don't need the FTF file to relock the bootloader.... Another thing that you have to be on a pure stock rom to make successfully bootloader lock.... Also be sure that you have the latest FlashTool version...
Then see this post it will help you in relocking your bootloader successfully: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45653511#post45653511
I hope that i had helped you
If there is anything just ask me and i will answer you

you cannot update with bootloader unlocked, try relock it if you want update from PCC.
or try to find the ftf here and flash it directly from Flashtool.

If you want to install a kernel like lupus, first you need to unlock your bootloader. Use this tool to unlock it.

The risk of brick your device, but a lot of people already unlocked their bootloaders without any problems, your DRM will be permanently deleted, but believe me you can get more from your phone when the bootloader is unlocked, really worth it.

And you loose your warranty
Drm won't be lost if you unlock using testpoint method.

First check the bootloader status.whether its unlocked or not.
If its already unlocked then you can flash any custom kernel.If not you have to unlock BL first.Its not harmful but it will avoid your phone warranty.Try to use SE web site to unlock BL.Its the safest way..
After unlocking BT u can flash kernels anytime using Flash tool™..
Re:How to install a kernel
To install a custom kernel,you have to unlock your bootloader and there are two ways of doing it:
1.Use the official sony method...
head to unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com and follow the procedure there..
by doing so you lose your DRM keys which means services like track id wont work anymore...
2.use a testpoint method which is a bit complicated but you retain your DRM keys
for the testpoint method check this out
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1730874
Bootloader unlocking should be done carefully,you might brick your phone if you are not careful..
after the unlock is complete you can use flashtool to flash a custom kernel in fastboot mode..
How to flash after relock bootloader?

Flash what?
(Un)locked bootloader only affects, if custom kernel can be installed or not. Everything else is the same.
Stock kernel can also be installed with locked bootloader.
I recently rooted my Xperia P (JB 4.1.2, unlocked bootloader) using the ThP's JB_stock_autoroot.img available here.
Now when I tried to install the updates using PCC, it said that modified software installed and hence cancelled the update. Is it because of the unlocked bootloader or rooting the phone?
Cheers,
Saurav

So now if i wish to relock the bootloader keeping my phone rooted, what steps do i need to follow? I have downloaded the file LT22i_relock_bootloader.ftf which can help me relock the bootloader. Anything else that I should keep in mind before/while/after flashing this file?

If i am not wrong you must be on full stock (kernel and rom) and you relock. You can search around as i have not relocked my bl before as i never unlocked it.
I am back. Ignore forum signature 1st line.
You can create the FTF from PCC files

I have flashed the relock file more than once without any problem.
You can root JB .100 with DooMLoRD Easy Rooting Toolkit
