E6683 Flashtool allow to flash any FTF, but fail to flash any boot.img - Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My phone in the developer menu state that I have "Unlock Bootloader", same is confirmed by *#*#7378423#*#*
Still, flashtool and fastboot flash boot <kernel.img> , both return "Failed - command not allowed"
What I am missing ?
Other command from fastboot, like detect device and reboot are working, so ... I guess it is not a driver issue
Thanks

PS: On my old Z2 I was able to root with kingroot and then install dual recovery , but kingroot can't root my Z5 and I did try on Android 5 or 6 or 7 for Z5 Dual

[tipo]Rooting status changed to "No" from "Yes". Can't enter fastboot mode now

[tipo]Rooting status changed to "No" from "Yes". Can't enter fastboot mode now
This xperia tipo st21i single sim had rooting status: "Bootloader Unlock: Yes" but it changed to "Bootloader unlock allowed : No" may be after flashing 11.0.A.4.22_generic or after a failed root exploit by flashtool or some other reason. I cant enter fastboot mode now. I want to install and test some custom roms on this device. Help please...
[ images attached. Flashtool log (the only log that i have) during bootloader unlocking is also attached.]
THE COMPLETE STORY:
The device was running 11.0.A.4.27_Indian firware. It is detecting sim cards of Reliance and aircel carriers but not of airtel and vodafone carriers. So i decided to flash modems from 11.0.A.4.22_generic.ftf. I successfully unlocked the bootloader yesterday with flashtool. I was able to enter fastboot mode. I tried flashing modem with "fastboot flash modem modem_fs1.sin" and i got "Error: Partition modem not found (remote error)". I tried rooting it using flashtool but root exploit failed. Then i successfully flashed entire 11.0.A.4.22_generic.ftf via flashtool in flashmode. I tried installing cwm using these instructions but then it failed at step3 "error su not found". I had downloaded boot.img which had twrp recovery. But then, i realised the device is not entering fastboot mode with any method. Then I checked rooting status and surprisingly it has now changed to "Bootloader unlock allowed: No". I came to know that unlockable devices cannot enter fastboot mode after searching forums. Flashtool still recognises it as unlocked.. How do i access fastboot mode again? How do i revert the rooting status back to " Bootloader unlock:Yes". My ultimate aim is to install a custom recovery and flash custom roms.

Oh and due to honor 6x processor, nothing we can expect
Answer: How to root Honor 6x
WARNING: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT YOU DO TO YOUR DEVICE, YOU ARE THE ONE MAKING CHANGES, NOT ME.
I have rooted and flashed TWRP 3.10 on my Honor 6x BLN-24 with Android 7.0 Beta. Theres a new update 360 and 361 but when I try updating it just takes me to TWRP and gives me an error.
Downloads:
Adb & FastBoot - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
Chinese Honor/Huawei program-
TWRP:https://dl.twrp.me/berlin/twrp-3.1.0-0-berlin.img.html (DOWNLOAD 3.1.0)
SuperSU:
How I did it: ( Assuming you know how to unlock your bootloader)
Plug your phone into your pc
tap build number 7 times (developer options)
enable USB debugging and Oem unlock.
(check if your device is connected) type adb devices in cmd
Get bootloader unlock code from Huawei/honor's website
Install Adb and fastboot (just press Y for all)
Use Adb to unlock bootloader with fastboot oem unlock (unlock code) in cmd
then do fastboot reboot in cmd
during reboot, device will factory reset.
setup phone quickly and turn on developer options again, this time oem unlock will be locked enabled, enable usb debugging and wait for the phone to connect to pc.
now, type adb reboot bootloader in cmd (this will bring you to fastboot/bootloader
now to flash (assuming you have twrp downloaded.) type fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.0-0-berlin.img in cmd
type fastboot reboot in cmd, and you're done with TWRP.
Done! With TWRP atleast. Restart your phone, download latest SuperSU, then in cmd (still plugged in your phone) type adb reboot recovery
then you are in TWRP! I hope you know how to flash SuperSU in TWRP because I'm not helping you with that.
Good Luck!

Z3 Bootloop

My cousin has an xperia z3 dual d6633 we wanted to root it so what we did was :
1- we unlocked the bootloader using sony's official guide that was a success
2-we flashed twrp using
Code:
fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
That appeared to be a success but we failed to boot to recovery i tried everything to boot to recovery from pressing power buttons with each volume buttons or both to even using
Code:
adb reboot recovery
and even that didnt work it always booted to android
3- when that didnt work one guide on the internet said to boot directly from the twrp image i had on the pc using
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
and thats where things went south it still booted into android but this time it was stuck in a bootloop it would boot into the screen thats right after the sony logo (the one that looks like the ps4 booting screen) and it would keep doing the animation non-stopping
4-we tried using xperia companion to fix it but it always said bootloader was unlocked
5-we tried relocking the bootloader using both
Code:
fastboot oem lock
and
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0fce oem lock 0x<unlock key>
mimicking the unlock bootloader command from sony's website but the lock bootloader keeps going on forever nothing happening until we take out the usb cable then it says failed
now i have two questions
1-can this be a hardware problem? Basically can the steps i made damage hardware?
2- is there a way to either relock the bootloader to fix it using companion app or fix it using any other program at all?
Thank you for answering

I believe that relock is impossible and but to make the device recovery to installed status of stock rom keeping with unlock bootloader.
Please see my post. May make it help or not.

When I first burned custom ROM (unofficial AEX), it did not start, so when I deleted the data from TWRP, it seems that I deleted things that should not be erased, so even if I burn it from the zip file, with the error message in the image below I...
