Well, then you may try to download one of the old firmwares on the forum and flash it to your phone with flashtool.

If u wanna relock bootloader flash with stock ftf and tick the relock option in flashtool...
Moreover...u shouldn't really re lock the bootloader if u are not taking him to service center....try flashing with the stock ftf(without relock).or try hard reset.....staying in touch with some senior member of the form will be good for you.
Thank me if I helped you.

Aaaaah I see. Thx. I will tell my friend. But, I'm gonna try to relock it by myself with flashtool. If he take the phone to the service center, what will "sony's experts" do with the phone? Sorry, I'm htc user so I don't know really well about sony.

Buddy,if u go to Sony service center with unlocked bootloader,then they will void your warranty..so u will have to service it yourself or take it to Sony service center after relocking bootloader.so to avoid the mess,u try flashing with official Sony flashtool Emma.it can be used with unlocked bl too.never try to repair via options in pc companion or update it as it will brick your phone.
As I mentioned earlier it would be helpful for u guts to chat with some senior member in xda I'm not a senior member...but whatever you do do not take it to Sony service center unless you have relocked the bl....
Everything is at your own risk so think twice before doing anything...

Want to save current language? Use pc companion > repair my phone. Then you can make it into .ftf and root it then.

Hey buddy guess you are a beginner...
Rooting your phone does not delete anything if the method used for rooting is safe.so nothing will change after rooting.
But from then on you can do anything with system files..
So unless you delete them,nothing will be lost...
And accidentally if u mess up,u can use repair option in pc companion to fix your phone( if you are planning to use simple root tools.and not unlocking bootloader)
Ps: after rooting you will have a temptation to edit system.files

Well.. i am afraid to root my Xperia J.. What if i do something wrong? what will happen? Will i be able to fix it?

Don't panic that much....as a matter of fact I too did first time..
Just try some one click root tool
They are safer
Try unlock root or srs root..they are pretty much fast and easy..
Since you are a first timer don't think about unlocking bootloader and flashing super user

You want control and still want to play safe? Do not unlock bootloader, just use roms for locked bootloader. If anything happened, just use pc companion > repair anytime you want.

you can come back if you root the phone but i dont think that you can lock the bootloader again. 1st lets unlock it and then we think for locking it

I guess flashing ftf will do.... I do a lot of mess with my grand quattro. . But flashing stock rom reverts everything. .. so ol my mess is cleared...

This is never going to happen until sony release new kernel update
We have tried many times to get it done but this never happens.
@ all this fake as we can't boot into fastboot mode unless we get kernel update. so pls don't waste your time in trying this as the OP is not able to give the proof.
also compare the image which the op as added that's saying booloader is unlocked. just compare this img with yours.
