Xperia Z1 Boot Loader Unlock Problem

Hi.
I have been having problems trying to unlock the boot loader on my Z1.
I followed the instructions provided by Sony to unlock. I had previously unlocked and relocked the device.
However now when following instructions again I am given the following errors:
FAILED (remote: Command did not succeed)
And after this,
FAILED (remote: Device is already rooted)
Even though it is not and service menu says,
Boot Loader Unlock Allowed: Yes
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

This is a common issue after Relock Bootlader. I saw many users complain about that. They Unlocked the Bootloader and then for some reasons they relocked it, then again they try to unlock it without success. I think you can unlock only 1 time the bootloader or you relocked and something is missing.

Then is like I said but I don't know where is the solution and if you can unlock it again.
So your saying you can only unlock once?

I am not sure but unlocking, relocking, unlocking some pieces is missed and now you have this problem. I hope someone know where is the problem. Check Bootloader Unlocking thread.
I had no problems with relocking and unlocking BL. Used flashtool for it.

I unlocked on a none branded ROM the first time but now running a branded firmware for Three in UK as you can only access 4g using their firmware as only software update allows access not a sim card change.
Could this be the problem?

Long time ago i saw a thread that a user was telling that he wasn't able to unlock the bootloader when he has using certain ftf files. It is pretty strange actually.
Try to downgrade your phone, maybe installing kk and try again mate.
Maybe this will help if you already don't know it. Take a look here. Way old that thread but maybe still guilty.

Post #2 says you have to be on stock kernel to relock your bootloader.

What do you mean with fresh kernel? You mean stock kernel, aren't you?
