GPS won't work

Hey guys,
I've got a problem with my z3. My GPS won't catch any signal. I tried some different apps to locate all satalites and they are shown but it won't connect to them. So perhaps this would be a software bug, but how can I solve it? I should mention that I've unlocked my bootloader so that could be the reason why I have this problem. I tried unlocking it but I can't (I don't know why, I used a Sony flash tool). Maybe I have to reinstall my firmware but how do I do this.
Any suggestions?

settings > about phone > diagnostics > test > test GPS

or contact your Local support to get it inspected.

As a matter of fact I've changed the backcover of my phone cuz it broke so I doubt they would agree to repair it, but I think it wont hurt if I just ask them for suggestions

@LuisOrtega

perhaps that's the problem.

But because I'm able to detect all satalites around me but can't connect to them I assume its an software error. I also have different kind of bugs sometimes. So it would be my idea to reset my phone to stock.. But how?

use flashtool to relock the bootloader then repair the phone with XC
