Don't you need to escalate your privilege's in order to complete this process? I know on Linux systems (if not already root) I have to type sudo before the command I want to use before it will allow it. E.G.
Code:
sudo adb
sudo fastboot
I'm not familiar with the windows command prompt way

As i recall, imei that you entered in Sony's site should have 14 digits. If you entered 15 or 16 digit number, code you received could be wrong (and that's why it won't work).
I don't know much on unlocking r800x models. My is r800i and it's unlocking was without any problems

The number I entered was my device's me id which, if I'm remembering correctly, is what CDMA phones have.

Hi just a quick question iv been searchign and downloading all sorts of things but still cant figure out how to unlock my bootloader?
The only method i can realy find it via the sony unlock develoment site, sendign your imei number, email address. Is there another way?
Plz let me know thanks.
The only other way is using test point method which isn't free
Its more difficult to do though...
Sony Ericsson official way is easy to do

Hey i had sucessfully unlocked the bootloader on my Xperia Pro, however the speaker broke and i had to send the phone to service. So i relocked the bootloader by flashing a flt found here the file is called Xperia_Relock_bootloader.ftf
*I cant post links yet*.
Today i got my phone back, the service replaced the speaker on the phone, so now it works =D
However i can't no longer unlock the bootloader - here's how i have done.
1) i have installed the fastboot drivers from the FlashTool drivers.
2) Ive followed the intrsuctions given by Sony Ericsson, i entered my IMEI key
and were returmed an unlock-key to unlock the bootloader
3) Rooting Status in the Service menu says:
Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes
4) ive ran fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version and i were returned 0.3
5) The last step ive ran fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY were KEY is the key i got from Sony Ericsson,
however i am being returned this

Have you double checked your unlock code? Or have you checked the root status like darkharbinger81 said. Both are common mistakes. Very easy to check too.
Bootloader unlocked: Yes.
R800i
Android version 4.0.2.a.0.42
Do I need to root it first? And the same error surfaces for my Xperia Sola... MT27i, stock 6.1.1.B.1.54, BL unlock: yes

Check (and doublecheck) what IMEI number you entered in Sony's site.
Type in dialer *#*# 7378423#*#* , go to service info> configuration and check your IMEI.
And IMPORTANT, that number will be 15 digits, but in Sony's site for bootloader unlocking you enter only 14 digits (ignore last digit)
If that fail, try some other thing:
-put usb cable in back usb ports of your motherboard
-try different usb cable
And finaly, as i recall, try by typing 0xfce instead of 0x0fce ( 'fastboot.exe -i 0xfce oem unlock 0xKEY)
Okay I went through the whole procedure again, double checked everything, the website gave me a different code and it worked this time. Thanks everybody!
I'm trying to unlock the bootloader of my Nexus 5x, because I want to downgrade to 6.1 after proximity sensor issues. I tried "fastboot oem unlock" and "fastboot flashing unlock", but it looks like the bootloader auto-locks after reboot, and so I can't flash anything.
Did this happen to someone?
Do you have "Secure boot- enable (no rpmb)" on fastboot screen?
This is my fastboot screen

You can't unlock bootloader because probably you have replacement emmc memory/motherboard without flashed rpmb partition. You can't do enything with that, but on this forum there is a topic, where someone wrote how to work around this problem.

Update your platform tools, make sure USB debugging is enabled, then try again.

From your post you are running "fastboot flash unlock unlock.bin", while the correct command, as others already mentioned, is "fastboot oem unlock unlock.bin".

That's weird. What I'd suggest is for you to try a different (newer?) version of fastboot. Try downloading straight from Google:
