Unlock your boot loader

I do have some issue :-(

I am following the guide on https://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/ but the video on this page seems not to have been updated, but anyway you have to follow the procedure on this page. When doing this I face the following issue.

On a Win10 computer, I am not able to install the USB driver on the S1Boot Fastboot, it comes with an error that the Hash to the file do not exist the indicated catalog file. I have tried to download the driver on two different location on Sony’s homepage but with no success. I have also tried to add the Hardware IDs in the android_winusb.inf file, found in the Android Composite ADB Interface Properties (%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0FCE&PID_51E0), sill no success.

On a Linux Mint I did come nearly to the end. Here I do not have to install the drivers. When sending the command >fastboot devices< I am able to see my phone. When sending the command >fastboot -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xCEE3B1E4D4A06654< I received the following error, “FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)”.

Are there anyone who have the correct android_winusb.inf for Win10 and are there anyone who can help me what to do when receiving the above error when trying in Linux Mint?
