1. Make sure your Xperia is unlockable. To know that, dial *#*#7378423#*#*. Select "configuration" then look at the "bootloader unlock allowed" if it says yes, it means you're ready to the next step. If no, you can try to deactivate my Xperia feature. To deactivate it, open settings>security>Xperia protection. Make sure you turn it off. If bootloader unlock allowed status still "no" it means you can't unlock your Xperia's bootloader. Usually "no" appears for some bundled xperia smartphone such  docomo, au, softbank, t-mobile and many more.
