Why not just use the bootloader unlock function in Flashtool?

Try with format and wipe data / factory reset before flashing.

I tried like this :-
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Mounts and Storage --> Format /System
Wipe Cache Partition
Advanced > Wipe Dalvik Cache
Advanced > Wipe Battery Stats
And how about flashing the kernel after installing Rom??
Sent from my LT15i using xda premium

If you have fastboot which is available in the apktool kit, you can verify bootloader status by putting your phone in fastboot mode (blue led) then open a shell and type "fastboot.exe getvar secure" without quotes. If it says no then you have unlocked bootloader. You can flash a kernel with flashtool or fastboot.exe. I recommend backing up your TA in flashtool prior to doing anything if you haven't already done so...could save you some trouble in the future.

Reboot your xperia play when plugged into your pc. Hold the search button key while its booting up.

There are a few things you must do
1. You must install flashmode and fastboot drivers
2.you must select xperia play as current device
3. Reboot into fastboot via ADB
4. Once booted into fastboot mode, click on select kernel to flash.

I know it's a pain to do but have you tried returning to stock and starting all over again?I take that flashmode works?That's what I would do if it happened on my phone:good:
EDIT Try disable antivirus
The real question is: have you run flashtool or the command line in "administrator mode"?

Update your version of flashtool uninstall the drivers from device manager. Reinstall never androxide flastool reinstall drivers make sure debugging is enabled. Then you should he good to go. If it don't work that means you need a new micro USB cable..
Problem solved next.

Also make sure you are using a USB 2.0 port as 3.0 has lots of problems with flashing

Check command which you are typing in cmd. Maybe you wrote something wrong. If you can paste your error after entering this command.

Personally I prefer to put the stock software (including recovery) on the phone prior to locking.
