Managed to get stuck in bootloop, help needed - Sony Xperia L

I'm trying to unlock my Xperia L's bootloader. I used Flashtool, went through the process, entered the unlock code and clicked 'Unlock'... and it's stuck with the boot animation cycling. One thing I noticed in flash tool was this error message after I selected unlock:
20/038/2014 12:38:36 - ERROR - Error saving unlock code : /Volumes/FlashTool/FlashTool.app/Contents/MacOS/custom/mydevices/ZH8001BBFK/ulcode.txt (No such file or directory)
Any advice? I've tried relocking using Flashtool but it's still stuck.

It says "bootloader unlock allowed", that means it's not unlocked right?

There is a almost sure shot method..
Search for doomloard adb and fastboot.zip its 300kb or something
Dl that n extract that .
Connect ur phone in fastboot mode
On that folder press shift n right click n press open command window
N type a command..umm u can find it unlock bootloader page..starts with fastboot getjar..two commands..if u google that..ul get em

Use flashtool to unlock the bootloader. It's simple and very easy. All you need to do is paste the unlock code you receive from Sony. If you are still not unlocked, i would recommend to backup your TA partition first in case you want to regain your DRM keys.
Best of luck
Hit thanks if it helped

if you unlock your bootloader your phone must be bootlop( bootlop mean unlocking bootloader success) now to recover your phone flash .ftf via flashtool
Yes flash ftf using flashtool
Bootloader should be unlocked now

As the people before said, bootloop means that your bootloader is unlocked now! Now you have to download flashtool and flash a stock kernel (if you don't have one you can create one yourself through PC companion, instructions are here: http://www.mashinie.com/trick-to-create-sony-stock-ftf-rom.html)

follow this guide, after unlocking your bootloader you need to flash a stock ROM.

Im not sure if FRP have something common with flashing recovery. https://www.androidcentral.com/factory-reset-protection-what-you-need-know thats just protect to your phone, when you loggin to another account how last time before and after factory reset

That's why it's important to remove Google accounts first before messing up

Yes I know but is something common with FRP and be able to flash recovery?

Do u know what is FRP ?
Rommco05 said:
I read some articles likeI posted upthere... maybe no :/
Click to expand...

U can assume its enabling oem unlock from developer options . If u disable it ,u cant unlock bootloader.
Rommco05 said:
Ok and what is in common with google account and unlocking bootloader. I will tryed in next days
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No need of google account , u need to get ur unlock code from honor
Rommco05 said:
edit: if you have locked FRP and before factory reset was already login to your google account and for example you sold phone another person, this another person will cant enter to phone, because last google account was your, and password know only you... thats is FRP, bootloader you can unlock when you want, this is nothing common with FRP and flashing something, correct me if im wrong

When the bootloader is unlocked such feature no longer works and stands for vulnerabilities.
But FRP when locked u cannot unlock ur bootloader .
U need to keep it in unlocked state , this happens only when your device has oem unlock enabled . May be it is just to make sure that the device doesnt belong to a traitor

Ok, thanks I not clearly sure about this, I stay to check it

Hahaha , good one
I'm also stuck here.. No bootable rom, phone doesn't detect SD card (Tried 2 brands, 16 gb, 32 gb, and 64 gb)
Fastboot screen has bootloader unlocked, FRP LOCKED
When I try and flash a recovery, or update whatever, using flashboot.. always gives " FAILED: REMOTE COMMAND NOT ALLOWED"
TWRP: I have tried RESTORE to back up.. all things go right except at the end get "UNABLE TO WIPE VENDOR"
I try and install an old ROM (162)
Results into this error:

I dislike Huawei so much right now...
Rommco05 said:
So you sure have good adb drivers and you have already instaled phone drivers
edit: whitch command you use for flash recovery?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yea, I think I have good drivers... as I can see the device if I do "FLASHBOOT DEVICES".. it shows up.
I am using command "fashboot flash recovery recovery.img"
Rommco05 said:
Yes but the last must exactly the name of recovery and must be in adb folder
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes, its in here.
Alternatively, in TWRP through ADB sideload.. I also attempted "ADB SIDELOAD Update.zip".. error: "cannot read update.zip".
Rommco05 said:
You cant boot to system yes
edit: where you write this commands?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No.. no system access.
I write commands in ADB/Fastboot CMD...
Rommco05 said:
And you must already in fastboot, turn phone off, plug phone to pc/usb and turn on with vol down and on/off
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes, I am in fastboot screen (where it reads phone unlocked.. FRP LOCKED).
Devices detected with "fastboot devices" prompt..
Rommco05 said:
Ok, thats look like you dont have in pc drivers for phone = Hisuite
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Hisuite is running..
To clarify..
1. TWRP Installation of "UPDATE.ZIP" (containing 162 ROM) fails.. with "Unable to mount /vendor, unable to mount/partition"
2. TWRP ADB Sideload: Can't mount
3. Phone in white Fastboot/ADB bootloader: Status reads Bootloader unlocked, FRP Locked.. with commands it gives error FAILED (REMOTE: COMMAND NOT ALLOWED).
So phone is connecting without problems..

Hmm, strange... when I was same situation I use Huawei MultiTool for flash recovery. Here is something why u cant flash anything but I dont think is because is FRP locked

Did you install adb/fastboot drivers?

yes, i have them installed. i flashed another ftf too from italy so yeah drivers have installed
i saw in threads that bootloader unlock allowed : no means we cant unlock bootloader but is it normal that on sony website they give the unlock key? like i put my imei there and they give me the unlock key but in fastboot oem unlock command it says
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.054s
I ran into a rare situation on an old Xperia tablet that said the same thing but had twrp installed. But with your situation u could be looking at a paper weight if u try to flash anything. It's hard to say though. Usually bootloader unlock: no means don't flash or u get brick. Does it say bootloader unlock or unlocked? You also have to realize that just because u get a key doesn't mean u can unlock. An imei doesn't mean much except verify it's a Sony phone
