Although I followed instruction correctly, its not working on windows 8.1. Any idea? Appreciate for help.
EMMA is for unlocked bootloader devices only. Have you unlocked bootloader of your phone?

Hi everybody! I'm new at this forum, i come from xperia x8 forum, and I have problems with custom kernels. I have a xperia Neo V, and I just cant connect the phone in fastboot mode. I'm not sure if it is properly bootloader-unlocked, as in the oficial sony's webpage it said that cdma devices cannot be unlocked (check http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/), and I think that is the standard in Europe isn't it? (I'm from spain). Also, I checked the service menu and it also indicates that the bootloader cannot be unlocked.
Anyway i tried through the testpin-s1 tool method and everything seemed to work fine, i got the output with the two lowercase "r", but not the messages showing the model, software version, custom version, filesystem version and serial number, as said in vimjam's guide (check the post regarding unlock BL here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1409269).
When I try to connect it in fastboot mode it just shows the sony ericsson logo and starts to charge, not showing any blue led. I know that this happens in locked devices, but the two lowecase "r" in s1 tool indicate that it is unlocked, so i dont understand... Can someone tell me if my phone is properly unlocked, or if custom kernels can be flashed connecting the device in flash mode (as it does work for me)? Thanks in advance
Eventhough your bootloader is now unlocked, your fastboot is still locked, you have sim-locked phone and you need to pay to unlock it.
ok, so you mean I have to sim-unlock my phone in adition to bl-unlock to connect it in fastboot mode? can this be done in wotanserver or i have to take it to some tech service?

as my sim was locked.I paid for unlock via S1 tool and now have an unloked phone.However when I identify the phone to check

R .Is my bootloader still unlocked? I have tried getting into fastboot mode but nothing seems to happen.Can you please guide me?
Thanks for reading .Your reply is much appreciated.
I've had a couple of PM's asking for an FTF of the 10.1.1.A.1.253 SGP321 LTE firmware, but I've already unlocked the bootloader (rooting failed), so when I use PC Companion to repair the device, it give the "modified software bugger off" message.
Whats the fastboot syntax to relock the bootloader? I'm guessing something like "fastboot -i 0x0fce oem lock", but pls advise.
Some posts I've read seem to indicate that after relocking you have to reload the firmware, but will PC Companion allow the repair? Or will it detect that its "relocked" and tell me to bugger off again?
Guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Relocking via Flashtool 0.9.10.2beta6 worked fine, didn't wipe device.
Using PC Companion, Sony Update Service, or Sony Bridge for Mac failed to repair (no updates available), so firmware cannot be downloaded.
However, Sony Flashtool (EMMA) does allow firmware to downloaded & installed to devices with unlocked bootloaders.
FTF for SGP321 10.1.1.A.1.253 will be available soon.

Try running MI unlock tool through wine or run windows in virtual machine.
Hi brotherhood. Can anyone provide a simple tutorial on how to relock the bootloader? I have the back up of the keys. I have been reading some tutorial, but none of then is easy to understand. Maybe I am just too stupid.
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.
