Sure, you can use flashtool
No, you can't. If you take a TA backup, unlock bootloader, flash CWM and then relock the bootloader with the backup you took earlier your phone will be soft bricked until you flash stock kernel again. The reason is that with locked bootloader, only kernels oficially signed by Sony can be booted, if you relock the bootloader while you have CWM the phone will refuse to boot because it'll see you're using CWM, not a signed kernel from Sony...

Okey thank you ,but my r800i is rooted and unlocked bootloader , and when i type " fastboot -i 0xfce reboot , the phone doesn't reboot , its getting black screen only, so i have to flash a stock firmware with flash tool again
I have SE Arc lt15i from 2011, and I wont to install FXP138-cm-10-20120916-UNOFFICIAL-anzu on my device. Now I have ICS 4.0.4 (587) with root.
When I start CWM-based Recovery and try to install zip from SD card I get status 7 error. I do some search and it's probably because my boot loader is locked. So I try unlock it following instructions on unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com
I enter #*#7378423#*#* and then I found this: Rooting status: Bootloader unlock allowed: NO
What now? Please people help I wont this rom badly
If you want it badly, you're gonna have to pay and use third-party software to unlock your bootloader. Otherwise you're stuck with stock and stock based ROMs.
I cant help you too much since my bootloader is locked; refer to a bootloader unlocking thread for help.

Your bootloader did relock, the yes is telling you that your bootloader CAN be unlocked, this is normal. As for the nandroid error, it failed because you cannot rewrite the boot image after you have relocked. This is fixable though don't worry, just flash stock firmware using flashtool
How do i know
How do i know is my bootloader is locked or unlocked coz member in here said like this Bootloader unlock allowed - Yes << this means that your Bootloader is Locked
Bootloader Unlocked - Yes << this means that your bootloader is unlocked.
So base on it mean my bootloader is still unlocked, But u said is locked? so can some one tell me how to double cross check my bootloader is locked or unlock

Xyge my phone posisiton is stuck on Sony logo and i'm will flash the official rom using flashtool so it's mean my kernel will be stock one. So should i try to flash again the kernel or try other thing?
you cant update your phone to pc companion when your phone is unlocked.
Sorry, I don't understand what it is you want to accomplish here. Do you want to just fix your phone and re-lock your bootloader?
I just want to relock my bootloader

Open flashtool and connect your phone in flash mode. On the screen look for "bootloader status:" or somethings similar. If your bootloader is locked it will say ROOTABLE or if your bootloader is unlocked it will say ROOTED.
If your bootloader is unlocked you cannot update from Sony PC direct and if you phone is locked Sony will allow you to update the phone

Actually thats not right. If you relocked the bootloader it will go back to Bootloader unlocked allowed: Yes and not stay at Bootloader Unlocked: Yes
When you try flashing that bootloader relock in flashtool what happens? I have used it many times with my LT26i with no issues. Can you past the log from flashtool when you try to flash it?
so it is the same things or bootloader unlock = yes means your BL is unlocked.
and bootloader unlock allowed = yes mean you can unlock your bootloader.
im confused and i tried to unlock my bootloader, all data get wiped but i don't know whether its unlocked or not?
in service menu bootloader status show bootloader unlock = yes.
i also checked on my friends xperia ray, on his mobile it showing bootloader unlock allowed = yes.
It's pretty literal, except there's a bit of wrong grammar...
Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes - This means the bootloader is not unlocked but you are allowed to unlock the bootloader.
Bootloader unlock: Yes - This means the bootloader is unlocked.
Bootloader unlock allowed: No - This means the bootloader is not unlocked and you cannot unlock the bootloader.

and can i install CM11 with you cwm recovery? - No! For CM flash the boot.img from the CM Zip.(boot.img is the CM kernel + CWM recovery)
then how can i extract boot image- Download boot image,start Flashtool,click on the flashlight and select Fastbootmod.Shutdown your phone,press and hold Vol+ key and connect usb cable to your phone(led light will turn blue light).Now from flashtool chose "Select kernel to flash" and flash boot.img fille who you want.

Did you backup your TA partition (DRM key) before unlocking?
If you did, using iovyroot, then you can restore it. If you did not, then you can't

You have to flash stock lollipop using flashtool
(the one you used to backup TA.)
restore TA and that will relock the bootloader without using flashtool

Make sure in device settings your device is installed correctly.
Then when you place into fastboot check it by typing "fastboot devices" in cmd while cd'd to platform-tools.
Also make sure your developer settings are checked properly. Eg. Oem unlock allow & USB debugging
Also make sure your Android sdk is updated.
If your device isn't installed right (exclamation point) then let me know I'll tell what to do.
