Can't relock Bootloader!

I had aicp_amami_lp-10.0-RELEASE-20150707 on my phone so far, but because of some bugs and the missing sony-camera app I'd like to go back to stock sony. For that, so I can have a unmodified and completly up-to-date version of it, I wanted to use the sony companion-repair-thing which I used quite a lot of times by now. problem with it is that you need a locked bootloader for that which, so far, was no problem thanks to flashtool. but now, for absolutly no reason, my phone doesn't want to relock. I put some very old sony stock firmware on it and also have twrp, tried everything, debugging is on etc. but nope, when pressing the "relock" button, the next time I'm opening the bootloader thing on flashtool it still says "relock". no error message though, nothing. It just says

after that it just says "relock" again and sony companion doesn't want to repair the device because of changed software which can't get updated (that means "lock you're bootloader or you can't repair it") but that excact thing always worked before, it just doesn't now, and I don't see why.
What's also weird about flashtool:
as you can see in the log above, I have the unlock-code saved in a "ulcode.txt" in the registered devices folder so the unlock-code is always already in the bootloader window. I wanted to try what happens when I delete that file and have to manually place the code in but when deleting the ulcode.txt it just comes back right when pressing the BLU button. How does that work and how can I get that away? It even comes back without internet connection, so it has to be saved in some different folder, right? But even reinstalling it and deleting all flashtool related folders didn't change it (could it be some kind of registry entry?).
I guess I got to stick to AICP until I have a solution for now.

Did you backup your DRM keys before unlocking? Restoring the DRM keys should also lock your bootloader.
If you haven't backed up you won't get full camera quality back:

No I didn't backup my DRM keys. But I wouldn't get how that can change the camera quality. That should only change on Hardware and on the App.

I haven't tried myself, but you read around here, that not are or were camera problems on Z1 compact if you haven't saved your TA partition.
You mentioned you have TWRP. Did you try with stock recovery?

I want to be able to go back to stock. Or if this is not possible atleast be able to use my simcard
Please help me

Hello welcome.
Did you try it more than 1 time? (no I'm not mocking you)
Do you have any other USB-Cables to try out with?
Could you try another USB-Port on the computer?
Did you install the Flashtool drivers for your Device?
Maybe you should try out the newest Build 0.9.23.2

@matthias.smet
Welcome to XDA!
Try again with v0.9.18.6, it is more stable but however you should not use the computer for any other purposes when flashtool is preparing the bundles for flasfing.

Hello there.
Im having the exact same problem and am getting crazy searching for a solution.
What i have done so far:
reinstalled flashtool
downgraded to 0.9.23.0
downgraded to 0.9.18.6
redownloaded the .ftf
downloaded another .ftf
tried different packet sizes
tried every usb cable i could find
yes i also rebooted several times, both phone and laptop
right now the device is unusable as i managed to install Resurrection Remix but it failed the gApps (for which i tried everything to fix too) and wifi/data isnt functional , which makes it more or less a brick. And its not even my phone :crying:
at the time of writing i am again reinstalling 0.9.18.6. Hopes are small but who knows.
any other suggestions? every help is highly appreciated.
greetings, enaecore
EDIT: unexpectedly the reinstall of 0.9.18.6 finally worked for me! device is up and running again. i dont understand this, because 0.9.23.1 worked several times before i messed up with RR but well, im lucky i can hand back the phone in a working state, even if its crap stock its better than a custom brick. going back to my reliable bacon and maku now. praised be the pure android experience^^

And more info what i tried to do to fix it. I've changed cabel, reinstalled drivers, restarted pc (i cant restart phone cuz it will stuck at provider logo than i need to wait for battery to die),i tried with excluding kernel and not wiping data nor cache. I tried with 32 bit version and 64 bit version.

there is a reset button near the sim card on this device to restart

xa1 ultra bootlooped After i opened bootloader

I am pretty devastated by this. TLDR at bottom if you dont want story. I was using just fine for over a year and i finally wanted to root my phone with magisk. to do that i need to open bootloader so i went to sony page and do what they said. Eventualy i managed to succesfully open bootloader but my phone screen was black (with blue light its fastboot screen) so i couldn't flash magisk. I opened phone regularly and it opened as it was brand new(factor) after that i went to settings and opened usb debugging and i saw oem bootloader was open(checked with grey) on developer settings and i closed phone. After that Phone went Bootloop. I could only close it by Power + Vol Up ( after 2 vibrations it closes) And if i restart it again its on bootlooped again.. Power + Vol Down also goes for bootloop
I am pretty upset waiting for firmware to download so i can "try" to flash that to phone. Hope that works but if it doesnt ?
any idea why it went bootloop after opening bootloader?
tldr: after opening bootloader phone went bootloop. just like title

Flashing didn't work.

HELP Stuck at Opening device for R/W

So I have my old Sony Xperia S lying around and I was thinking that I wanna still have a custom ROM, a custom recovery, and root. But my phone is pretty much bricked from the other attempts so I'm trying to flash the firmware again. But when I did the flashmode button it started flashing with my downloaded firmware for the LT26i. This is what it shows:
