Managed to get stuck in bootloop, help needed

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

I tried unlocking bootloader and it went into bootloop after that, I flashed stock rom and now the bootloader is not unlocked still.
will it go again in bootloop after unlocking bootloader?

HELP!
I followed every instruction, enabled usb debugging, backed up TA, then used flashtool to unlock the bootloader (after entering the unlock code flashtool showed OKAY, then the device rebooted). now I'm stuck in the bootloop. when I try to connect the device with flashtool to flash the stock ftf, it says usb debugging is turned off! how can I flash the device now? Is there any way I can turn on usb debugging again?

Just turn off your phone...When flashtool's ready to flash, connect your phone with down button pressed..
Flashtool's never said usb debugging on/off when the device is off..

Relock doubt
I have unlocked my bootloader and want to relock it but have not yet made any TA backup....so can i make a TA backup of another xperia-L device and flash that in my Xperia-L?

I, recently tried to unlock my bootloader via flash tool, but for some reason, my rooting status (my bootloader) is unknown (before was unlockable. I relocked and unlocked it again but still no luck. Then I flashed the firmware with flashtool.. but my bootloader's status is still unknown. I think the error is due to some file named x10flasher in the flash tool. What i must to do for have back bootloader unlockable?
Please someone Help me

cant bl
Hi, I wanted to ask if anyone knows why flastool says my Xperia L cant be unlocked but my phone says unlock is allowed? I dont know what to do anymore.

I can not unlock bootloader "Bootloader unlock allowed"

Whenever I try unlock bootloader bug out FAILED (remote: Command did not allowed).
I have Bootloader unlock allowed.
I tried in CMD - Fastboot and Flashtoo and out this same problem.
When I tried twice unlock bootloader I get OKAY and I try turn on my phone, I walk in bootloop.
Where is problem?

Hi! So actually you did unlocked your bootloader (as i understand), and when you turn on your device after the unlock you go into bootloop. This is something normal. You need to flash the stock .ftf with flashtool (i recommend you to use old versions like 0.9.11.0). Have a look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/help/bootloop-unlocking-bootloader-t2675892 ! Good luck!
What firmware version did you flashed. I have flashed firmware for c2104 and i got this bootloop. Make sure you flash the propper firmware verison for your device.

When I tried it, in Service Menu I have "Rooting status: Unkown".
I have bad code in Bootloader unlock Wizard and I can't change it, field is inactive.
I have firmware C2104, I don't have any branding.

Problem Unlocking bootloader in D2302

Using flashtool v0.9.22.3 I tried to unlock bootloader in an unofficial way but its says 'No loader in the bundle. Searching for one' and takes forever. help please

Do it the official way follow sonys guide

Try using Flashtools 0.9.18.6. I'm sure in that version it was working before. If it can't find the loader, try to see in your .flashTool\Devices\D230X if there's a loader.sin. If there's not, when you open flashtools get inside Devices > Devices Sync > Manual Sync and wait until it finishes, then try unlocking it again.
If the problem persists, I'd try unlocking using the official ways...

Thanks, i did the official way and went well.
