Can someone make an easy guide to unlock bootloader an flash custom kernel?
The spiderx guide is very good but difficult to understand...
UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER
firstly download all the files you need for unlock bootloading
how to unlock bootloader (This method if you have SEMC SIMlock)
1. Download Flash tool, s1tool, msm7227
2. extract s1tool.7z
3. make sure you have gordon gate driver installed (install PC Companion and)
3a. open PC companion and make sure it recognises your phone, and leave it OPEN
4. turn phone off completly
5. connect usb to phone (not to PC)
6. run s1tool and click 'hit do job' or 'run'
7. hold back button on phone and connect usb to PC
8. look for the word SEMC SIMlock,
there would be a upper case R and number (R8288) or lower case r (r8288)
if the r is lower case then bootloader is already unlocked, but if its upper case R then bootloader is not unlocked, continue with the instructions
9. open task manager and kill any adb.exe process
10. extract msm7227
11. make sure phone is connected and is in usb debugger mode before you run msm7227
12. run msn 7227 and will try to unlock bootloader
13. if it says "succesfully wrote 034433" then its unlocked!
14 double check, open s1tool again and follow the same procedure as step 1
if you get rxxxx instead of Rxxxx then it means you were sucessful in bootloader unlocking!
try at your own risk
once you have completed the unlock bootloading
then use flashtool to flash your firmware
FLASHING CUSTOM KERNEL
download a custom kernel of your choice
place this .ftf file in flashtool>firmware folder
run flashtool
press flash
select the firmware you want then ok
turn phone off, connect the usb to phone, hold back button on phone then connect the other usb end to the PC
it should start to flash and you can let go of the back button
(when its finished flashing DONT CLOSE FLASHTOOL)
-when its finished
turn phone on, go to settings>application>development and select usb debugging mode
-then you need to root your phone
so click on root
phone should reboot
-then click on ask root perm
and on your phone you should get a message select "yes" for permission
-then on flashtool click on xRecovery to install xRecovery
wait til its finished then you can close flashtool
FLASHING CUSTOM ROM
download and place a ROM of you choice to your sdcard
turn the phone off
when turning your phone on hit the back button few times until you get to clockworkmod (xRecovery)
from clockwork mod go to 'install zip from sdcard'
then select 'choose zip from sdcard'
and select the ROM zip you want to install (e.g Minicm7.zip)
and hit yes
when the custom rom is installed make sure you wipe factory data, cache and dalvic cache
I hope this helps you
but try this at your own risk, i cant be held responsible if you brick your phone

Hello, I want to downgrade my soft in sk17i from 4.1.B.587 to 4.1.B.431. How can i do this? I already downloaded the soft.. I know that there is a program called flashtool but im afraid that something bad can happen to my phone :| Can you help me?
Download flashtool and the 4.1.B.431.ftf firmware for the sk17i
Now you go in the flashtool installation folder -> drivers and you install all drivers for all devices/modes. Place the 4.1.B.431 firmware in flashtool -> firmwares and launch flashtool. Now click on the flash, select flashmode, select the ftf, but don't tick wipe data, otherwise all your data is lost. Now click okay, turn off your phone, wait a few seconds, hold volume down and while holding volume down connect your phone via usb to your pc. Flashtool will flash the firmware automatically and when flashtool has finished, unplug your phone and start it :good:

Hello i made this post so everyone can follow the instructions.
THIS GUIDE IS OUTDATED NOW .0.266 IS OUT WHICH MEANS THAT IF YOU FOLLOW THIS TUTORIAL YOUR PHONE FIRMWARE WILL BE OUTDATED YOU CAN USE THIS METHOD FOR .0.266 BUT IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO YOUR PHONE IT WILL BE NOT MY RESPONSIBILITY
If you want to try to root your phone using this method ill leave a kernel link for .0.266 below in the download section
For a tested root method for 0.266 try my guide here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2656772
Doomlord gives some pretty clear instructions but a noob like my self some things does not make sence.
So i will post every step from the original thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2405933
And i will just add some details to every step.
So the steps to root your phone are.
1)Download the three files from the download section below (the 3 files in the original thread or in this thread i will put the same excact files)
2)open FlashTool and flash the XperiaSP_C530X_12.0.A.1.257_KernelOnly.ftf - 6.78 MB file, this is JUST the kernel of an older firmware which was rootable
2.1)open FlashTool and press the Lightning button
2.2)Select flashmode and then press ok
2.3)Select the kernel (ftf file) you want to flash .(for the first flasing as said above is the XperiaSP_C530X_12.0.A.1.257_KernelOnly.ftf file)
2.4)Unlpug and Power down the device
2.5)Wait 5 Seconds and the Plug it HOLDING the Volume Down button (this will put the device into flashmode)
2.6)When it says that the flashing is done unplug and power up the phone to make sure everything went as planned.
3)After the device booted up enable debugging mode (Settings->Developer Options -> Debugging Mode)
4)CLOSE FLASHTOOL <<< VVVIMP STEP
5)Extract the files from the DooMLoRD_Easy-Rooting-Toolkit_v18_perf-event-exploit.zip in the root directory (anywhere you want basically Doomlord suggested the C directory but any will work just fine)
!!! ATTENTION AS DOOMLORD REFFERED IN THE ORIGINAL TUTORIAL THIS STEP IS CRUCIAL BECAUSE THE PHONE WONT BE ROOTED WITH A PREVIOUS VERSION DOWNLOAD THE FILE FROM THIS DESCRIPTION OR THE ORIGINAL THREAD
6.0) FOR THIS STEPP your phone needs to be in Debugging Mode AND have Unknown Sources Checked (if not go to Settings->Security -> Unknown sources)
6.1) execute runme_ file corresponding to your OS on desktop PC, this will execute a SPECIAL version of my easy rooting toolkit <<< VVVIMP STEP
6.1a) If you run windows on your PC run the "runme_win.bat" file
6.1b) If you run Linux on your PC run the "runme_linux.sh" file
6.1c) If you run Macintoish (Mac) on your PC run the "runme_mac.sh" file
6.2) Just double click the file to excecute
6.3) A window will pop up.Follow the instructions to root your phone (your phone must be in debugging mode (as said above) AND have unknown sources checked (if not watch step 6.0)
6.4)When the phone is rooted it will restart
7) Check if your phone is rooted.
7.1)Open App Drawer and search for an App called SuperSU (it will be the latest version)
7.2)Open The App and check that everything is ok.If a window pops up saying that the Super SU binary was not found something in the root proccess went wrong)
8) Once you checked the root state of your device reopen FlashTool.
8.1)once in FlashTool press the Lightning button
8.2)Select flashmode and then press ok
8.3)Select the kernel (ftf file) you want to flash .(for the second flashing you will use the XperiaSP_C530X_12.0.A.2.254_KernelOnly.ftf file)
8.4)Unlpug and Power down the device
8.5)Wait 5 Seconds and the Plug it HOLDING the Volume Down button (this will put the device into flashmode)
8.6)When it says that the flashing is done unplug and power up the phone to make sure everything went as planned.
9) Once the phone boots enjoy your newly rooted phone
The 3 Files you need:
1)http://d-h.st/Kh7 .257 Kernel File
2)http://d-h.st/1Gp Doomlords Root Toolkit
3)http://d-h.st/4EO .254 Kernel
4)https://mega.co.nz/#!yclEiIjY!yvOW6UzCJnnisamK26uLjmbAetl5mUbv4EyeyXmteTk .0.266 Android 4.3 update (Most recent orignal FW released by sony)

Apparently, the device goes into flashmode but flashtool doesn't detect it in there maybe because of some missing drivers, and the device turns off again. (If I'm getting it right)
I then tried to install drivers via C:/Flashtool/drivers/Flashtool-drivers.exe >> Xperia Z and SO-02E drivers + Flashmode Drivers + Flashboot Drivers
Repeating the process, gives the same results as mentioned above.
Please help.

By Sellecting the Xperia Z you install the drivers for the Xperia Z NOT the SP.Shut your phone without opening flashtool then plug the cable while holding down the Volume Down button (so it boots in flashmode).
Your PC will install the Flashmode drivers
Then To be sure open flashtool click devices and then check drivers
It should show some items in the list
( I got this from mine
Code:
31/021/2013 17:21:08 - INFO - List of connected devices (Device Id) :
31/021/2013 17:21:08 - INFO - - USB\VID_0FCE&PID_5195\YT9106T3Z8 Driver installed : true

)
If you dont see anything a trick that i did and worked for me is that i go to Devices --> Manage --> Import --> Sony Xperia SP
If you dont get anything in "Import" you must go to Devices --> Manage --> Export --> Xperia SP --> Devices --> Manage --> Import --> Sony Xperia SP
I hope this will fix your driver problem.

245 is the new firmware
1 u flash 257
2 u root it
3 u flash 245 to get up to date
Simple as that
Edit : also download the original files from this post.
Ps: when i did the procedure it showed that my firmware version after flashing was 257 anyway try to root it and then flash 245 it may be just a display bug

hello, sorry to interrupt but i guess this is a very noob question. i can't flash the kernel only (files provided by doomlord). after opening the flashtool, i select flashmode and after that, in selecting the firmware, there's no .257 kernel only, and flashtool doesn't recognize the files because its not in the ftf format because its in the .zip format. please help me on what to do, cause i'm not getting it. and can someone give me a clear instruction on how to flash the kernel only. thank you in advance.

i just realize that the file extensions of each file is hidden that's why i cannot change it at all. for example, the file provided by doomlord, it is in the .zip format, if i don't delete the .zip extension, it will not change at all even though i put .ftf extension on the last part of the file. so what i did is i go to control panel > folder options > under the View tab, i uncheck the hide extensions for known file type. after that, you can remove the .zip extension and change it to .ftf. i just realized this after searching at google. i hope this can help other members out there who has experienced the same difficulty as me.

i tried to flash it on the firmware version 12.0.A.1.284
but it dosnt work !!! any ideas ?? thanks
I have an m4 aqua which is stuck in a boot loop on the wavy blue screen.
-I have not rooted this phone or done anything non-stock.
-Its been stuck like this for days and doing the hard reboot just goes back to the blue wavey screen (the power + up volume reset)
-I tried using xperia companion but it just hangs because it doesnt seem to detect my phone at the point where it says 'plug in phone'
-I installed adb and the xperia m4 developer drivers but xperia companion still doesnt detect the phone.
- Tried Flasher by Androxyde and downloaded firmware through XperiFirm but when I go to use Flasher i cant find any files to use.
any ideas of what to do?
I was following these instuctions to no avail
Download flashtool, flash http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2489955
Set it up correctly and instal;l the drivers.
Download the ftf file for YOUR DEVICE, use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/cros...oader-t2834142 ,or the last tab at the top of the flashtool.
Once you have found it, click it and download it by clicking it on the far right, make sure unpack automatically is checked.
Let it download and then flash tool will assemble it as the ftf file for you, and it will be in the correct folder. Cick the lightning button and select flash mode, select the ftf file that should apear in the list.
Folow the on screen instructions, it will take a while to flash, once finished it will say "unlug and reboot phone£
