My phone also changed the status to "boot loader unlock allowed NO" (the model was shoing as LT25i). So I followed the following steps.

The boot loader status has chnged not necessarily because of the wrong firmware.

Ensure for the valid backup if the data is important.

Reset the phone to factory default by pressing the *#*#7378423#*#*  (customization setting >reset Customization)

It will reboot the phone and check the boot loader status from *#*#7378423#*#*  menu.

Then you need try re-locking the boot loader.

Check if it recognises in the flash tool and follow the step as described in the link for relocking the phone

5. how to relock your bootloader
a) download and install latest Flashtool from herehttp://xperiadownload.cz/index.php/xperiadownload/category/5-ostatni?download=82:flashtool-6-2013 (mirror https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_d8uWGbkaetTDNyT1NjWXpPcVE/edit?usp=sharing)
b) start Flashtool and click on BLU button on the top
c) turn off your phone and when Flashtool shows pop up window, connect phone to PC with holding volume down button
d) just click on relock button and your bootloader is locked for now

********************

hope it works and your boot loader changes the status.
