You need to unlock your bootloader first.
As quoted from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133650
For those who got their phone by a carrier can't unlock their bootloader officially, by the above mentioned method. In that case, just follow any of these two guides -

I went to see if my bootloader can be unlocked from the sony website.
I followed the instructions by putting that code into my phone dailer.
Under the section if it says my bootloader can be unlocked, it says no.
Does this mean I CANT use custom roms?
Is there no other way to unlock the bootloader?
You can always unlock the bootloader, it's just a matter if it's free or not. It all goes back to whether you can use fastboot or not ( the tool used to flash kernels). If you bought your phone sim unlocked it more than likely means fastboot is enabled and you can unlock for free through sonys tool and be on your way to flashing custom kernels. If your phone is sim locked or you paid to get the sim unlocked by a code then fastboot will be disabled. So to rephrase: turn your phone off, hold the search button and plug it in to your computer, if the status light goes blue (and you're not on a CDMA one, r800x) then fastboot is enabled and you can unlock for free through sonys utility, otherwise you're going to have to use a pay service like this (~$24):

And to answer your question, yes and no, while it's not possible to flash ROMs that use a custom kernel like cyanogenmod without an unlocked bootloader you CAN flash stock based ROMs through the recovery made for locked bootloaders.
I have an R800A from Rogers.
The LED doesn't go on at all when I press the search button.
When I goto sony's website, I go into the phone settings, where it says if the bootloader can be unlocked, it says NO.
You mentioned a paid servers. Is unlocking the phone by allowing it on another network the same as unlocking the boot loader?
No, that's sim unlocking. Confusingly a bootloader unlock will actually sim unlock you as well though, the difference between the two is a sim unlock is a code and the bootloader unlock is done through test points. So ya, if you didn't get the blue light your only option for unlocking is a paid service, sorry.
Well actually an unlocked bootloader allows booting of custom(unsigned) kernel images and can be achieved with various means according to the situation.

Which is what I said in my above post... And the only ways to unlock it are:
- Through sony's online tool if fastboot is enabled and you have an IMEI (sorry CDMAs)
- Or a test point unlock, such as setool2 or omnius, which will enable fastboot
Oh ok sry then, thought u were being general.

I flashed Latest Oreo update through TWRP with the help of DUK_FullOTA_ROM_flasher method but the bootloader is still unlocked....
If anyone could help me with this as I have to visit service centre related to mic issue.
Connect to your computer, restart to fastboot mode and use "fastboot oem lock". Make sure you have a stock recovery and ROM on it, because the locked bootloader will not boot anything else.

No, it won't. But you should still have a backup whenever you mess with fastboot.

Make sure you turn on developer mode and turn on the OEM Unlocking
Then go to fastboot mode using the command
adb.exe reboot bootloader
First try these commands in fastboot mode
Just to make sure that your device is available in fastboot mode.
fastboot devices
one of them should unlock the bootloader
fastboot flashing unlock
fastboot oem unlock
The following command should give you info if your boot loader is locked. this is to confirm if boot loader is unlocked or not.
fastboot oem device-info
Can you please try these commands and let us know
if these commands fail to unlock the bootloader then try the miui unlock tool
you have a global Firmware or China Firmware?
Hi I have the wifi only gt310 and when I go to developer options there is no OEM unlock feature. I can get to recovery though using power and vol up on boot. Im just wondering if I can proceed to flash a new rom or if I need to unlock the bootloader - as I have not been successful with finding those instructions on how to do this
I was able to use adb to see my device but fastboot bootloader restart did not work. It seemed to hang on waiting for device.
You don't need to unlock bootloader on wifi only versions
