yes the bootloader is unloack but i had my phone rooted before then had to use pc companion to repair it, ive unlocked it again to be sure.
It seems driver problem.
I met the same problem as well as others yesterday, when I unlock, relock, re-unlock, root locked, root unlocked, flash recovery... for some crazy reason.
Try these:
Connect to flashtool (beta2 or beta4) with device power-on debug off, to see if flashtool can recognize it, and how much it can recognize.
Connect to flashtool with device power-on debug on , to see if flashtool can recognize it.
Connect to flashtool with device in fastboot mode, to see if flashtool can recognize it.
Connect to flashtool with device in flashmode, to see if flashtool can recognize it.
Flashtool may fix some driver error. I just succeeded after hours of bungling like that.
Good luck.

and Phone is working normal but after 5 second reboot and FC 's
Plz Help
same issue...
Has anyone found a sure fix for the issue presented by the original post? I am having this issue and I have tried different drivers, ftf's, computers, adb/fastboot/versions and flashtool versions. I have unlocked and relocked. Is rooting status "unknown" normal after bootloader unlock? -Z Ultra 6833 EU
Still no solution?
With my C6603 it does not allow to write boot aswell. Any final solutions?
edit: solution found: bootloader was not unlocked

This is the wrong forum to ask this. This is the Xperia Z section.
Despite that, you need to unlock your bootloader to flash kernels via fastboot.

After months using stock everything I decided to flash CM11 yesterday, I'm doing exactly same step as I was doing when on 4.1/4.2 but it seems like it doesn't works, I'm not even sure that my BL is unlocked despite success message, when trying to reboot after unlock BL I had a bootloop and when trying to recover with Sony's Flashtool it says 'device not unlocked'. So I repaired with PCC and restarted from scratch but same results today.
I'm totally lost as like I said I was doing exactly same thing on the same PC.
Edit : Now my XZ doesn't even start! I have the red led blinking while connected with usb, power+ Vol+ doesn't do anything, no vibrations at all!
I was on latest sony official ROM
Edit2 : Tryied again to recover with Sony's Flashtool but it says "Mobile Locked" that's crazy!

use flashtool to writ kernel
fastboot remote command not allowed Xperia Z3
I unlocked my boatloader, but have no way to confirm that it is still unlocked. I'm running Windows 7. Fastboot used to work just fine before I unlocked my bootloader. FLASHTOOL works fine. But if I try to flash anything with fastboot I get the remote command error. Can't flash recovery. Can't flash boot image.

Look in the service menu to confirm if your bootloader is unlocked.
Enter *#*#7378423#*#* in the dialler, then look in Service info -> Configuration. It will say "Bootloader unlocked: Yes" if it's unlocked.

By installing FLASHTOOL by Sony I was instantly notified that my bootloader was not unlocked, even though I had already unlocked it three or four times without any errors. So I unlocked it again. Then fastboot flashed my images just fine.
I just updated my firmware before trying to unlock bootloader... did every step correctly as in official way & as stated in... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2153261

I agree with what is being said here. However I would recommend that you flash back to .434 first that these methods have worked for many times, and it is more known version for attempting this.

Just reflash the .253 with a full wipe using flashtool.. it's bit trickyto enter to flashmode during bootloop. Just make sure to press volume down key & plugin the USB cable when the screen goes off.. type *#*#7378423#*#* in dial pad once it loaded you will have bootloader unlocked:Yes
I had the exact same problem.
I had unlocked my bootloader via the official Sony way.
Installed CM10.1.
Went back to stock Sony ROM (after relocking bootloader and flashing a tft via flashtool).
Tried the official way to unlock my bootloader, and all the time had a boot loop.
Tried to unlock my bootloader via flashtool and didnt have a problem.
Back to CM10.1 for me now!
If your phone reboots mid xperia that mean there is a system error.
With doom v6 kernel that is 4.1.1 based so that might be why you are getting bootloop if you are trying to flash kernel on a up to date 4.1.2 system

Evening guys
Just tried to unlock my bootloader via the Sony website.
After succesfully unlocking and rebooting it keeps repeating the booting.
I see the Sony logo and the Xperia logo. Then it goes of and back on again and keeps doing the same.
I already tried to flash back the stock firmware and that works.
When I retry to unlock the bootloader the same thing happens.
The service menu says I can unlock my bootloader.
Any tips or tricks that might help me to unlock it.

It is hard to say from your explanation whether your phone is unlocked or not.

SUS doesn't work for phones with unlocked bootloaders (neither does PC Companion).
Get yourself a full ftf for your current customization & flash with the official flashtool (Emma).

I got a working unlocked bootloader by doing it via FlashTool.
Unlock bootloader,connect the phone straight in flashmode, use flashtool and flash stock Rom,thats it. Best chose flashtool beta4

Just a question : Why do you have unlocked your bootloader? So many people unlock it for nothing, i'm sure i can do nearly same things with a locked bootloader, also with an unlocked bootloader you can't use PCC and SUS. Also unlocking bootloader avoid your warranty.

Ok you got the point, you need an unlocked bootloader for a custom kernel.
So have you tried to restore it with PCC/SUS or Flashtool and retry? Maybe something haven't worked correctly the first time.
Do you have followed this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2153261 ?
This is after flashing the unlock token?
Can you power on the phone normally?
Are there any signs of life (LED indicator, screen backlight, vibration, etc.)?

I can't tell exactly by your comments, but are you aware you need to start the phone in a different mode to access it via fastboot?
Disconnect USB
Hold Power & Volume Up until the phone vibrates three times in quick succession.
Let go of the buttons.
While holding Volume Up, connect USB cable between phone and computer.
The LED should turn blue to indicate you are in fastboot mode at which point you will need to install fastboot (not ADB) drivers. It shouldn't be possible to install ADB drivers if you do this properly.

No I don't have TA backup .. I unlocked my bootloader without making TA backup
PC companion solution maybe !!
Now I'm trying to repair my phone by Sony PC companion, it's downloading the software update now.. hope that this is a good solution.. I can stop if not because it needs 2 hours and more to complete, because of my slow connection...
It should work fine after you use PC Companion.
It wont boot as your using a non Sony kernel (has recovery). If you flashed a stock, non modified kernel before you locked your boot loader it would be fine.
If for some reason PC Companion cant fix it, just unlock the bootloader again and flash a stock kernel thats not been modified and then relock your bootloader and it should work fine.
