The only time I seen a kernel change that isn't through flashtool is on T.E.A.M Rom. U can use appman and flash thkernel thru it. Mot sure how, come to think of it but it does alter ur kernel. (in about phone)

You can,most of kernels have flashable zip via xRecovery,i use zKernel.But I don't know how to make your own flashable kernel.Try to find one on forum,of course if u have xRecovery or something else to flash from ur sd card.

Hi guys,
I've got a big problem, I've used "format/system" in xRecovery and now when I reboot, I'm only getting the Sony Ericsson logo. I did a backup on SDcard but I'm a Mac user so I've used Crossover to use SEUS and try to restore. The problem is the phone isn't detected, only the green LED is turn on but nothing happen on the Mac...
I'm gonna try on PC, but if you can help me ... it will be great !!
(Sorry guys for my english, but I'm a french student who spend more time on his X10 than in english class !)
I think you use flashtool and flash a 2.1 firmware
Flash Tool
2.1 Firmware can also be found in the flashtool post.
Can you use xRecovery after this problem?
If so, why don't you restore the backup that you have made ?

I think the format erases the xrec. In this case, as the colleague up there told him flashtool is the solution.

Hi jojooo89,
I suppose crossover might not help you in flashing even thought it might detect the phone after some tinkering.
flashing works only on windows either throught SEUS or flashtool...
the reason being usbflash.dll is only on windows.

If you can still get into x-recovery, you could try mounting your SD card, copying over a ROM and then installing it with x-recovery

This is not true. In 'Partition Tools' there is a 'Format System' option that formats everything including the system files/folders. Since XRecovery files are in the 'System' folder using this option removes XRecovery. There is a warning in the XRecovey thread to never use this option without having another system image to replace it with.
I would assume based on that warning though that there is some way to replace the system but thats a question for Z.

Hey everyone!
I have a huge problem. I tried to update my OS from cm10 5.1 kernel v16 to cm10 8.1 kernel v18.
I used system format, and when I start my phone it just showed me CM10 logo.
I tried to flash to stock verision, somehow I managed it, but now SE logo on my phone, and I can not flash again, because when I flash my phone it's starting itselfs automatically, so the flashing stops
Could someone help me? I hope you could understand what I wrote.

And then flash rom via Flashtool ?
What I know, flashtool cannot flash rom.zip
And what flashtool log when you flash kernel ?
Please attach flashtool log here
I'll hazard a guess and think that the flashtool log will show he flashed the xt0blrelock.ftf instead of the nAa-kernel by accident...

Don't think anyone can help a lot because it doesn't seem a normal issue.
What I would say for sure is that the firewall is not the problem because it is off and even if it were on that should not affect the communication between a computer and a phone via USB cable as that is not an IP communication.
PC Companion is not needed to flash a ROM with flashtools.
You don't install flashtools anywhere. The only thing you install for flashtool are the drivers and those are installed in the place where Windows needs to install them. But the application is not installed anywhere it can be run from any place as far as I know. It should work just perfectly from a pendrive, external drive, from drive C, D, or Z, ..., or whatever other storage device. Besides if the process starts you can imply flashtool is working properly.
So the only things I could bet are:
* you have a faulty ROM file. But probably this is not the case as I suppose if you have a faulty ROM flashtools will warn about it somewhere when it reads the ROM.
* you are not using the correct ROM for your phone model (ST25i or ST25a).
* you have a faulty USB cable or USB connector that lost connection on the middle of the process.
* you had not enough battery on the phone when you started the flash proccess so the phone lost power on the middle of the process.
(if flashtools finish the flash process correctly with the message that ask you to unplug and restart phone then 3 and 4 can be discarded)
What I would do is check which phone you own ST25i or ST25a and download the stock 6.1.1.B.1.100 ROM for your model from a reliable source and if possible from somewhere that offers an MD5 checksum to be sure you get the file without errors. Download again the last version of flashtools. Be sure when you flash to have enough battery on the phone (not sure what is the recommendation but more than 60% should be safe). When you flash rest the phone somewhere where nor the phone nor the cable move the least to avoid any lost of connection on the middle of the transfer.
Or you can just install PC Companion and update to the official ROM but probably that would be 6.1.1.B.1.54 ROM that doesn't work very good on my experience.
