Unlocking

Get the unlock code from sony
As cyanogenmod describes for the Yuga, power down the xperia, the hold volumeUp while inserting USB cable, and on the computer type:

# fastboot getvar version
version: 0.5
finished. total time: 0.003s

# fastboot -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0x012345678ABCDEF
...
OKAY [  1.133s]
finished. total time: 1.133s

Note: unlocking will erase all data from the phone, and do a factory reset.

Using the flash tool, updated the boot thingy. (From "Boot: 1274-7024 S1_Boot_MSM8x26_LA1.0_36" to "Boot: 1274-7024 S1_Boot_MSM8x26_LA1.0_1027")

Note: updating the boot thingy with the flash tool will not erase all data, nor do a factory reset.
