but it requires root.

how can i flash kernel using flashtool? when using flashtool it says device not connected..
Have you got sdk tools installed? If not just download here.
You must shut down your device and press volume up while connecting to pc. Then you open flashtool and click on the flash and then select flashmode. Just choose thee boot.img of the kernel. BUT THAT ONLY WORKS IF YOU HAVE AN UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER!!
Otherwise flash the stock rom. Just look here in step 2 are steps to root .62/.69 firmware and you must do the "downgrade" to flash firmware, too. Just look at step 2 and do it like it's explained to flash the 4.0.2.A.0.42 firmware. ALL YOUR DATA WILL BE LOST!!
You probably installed rom with stock kennel.. Hmm ... You should use recommended kernel for real ics.. Download kamarush. Kernel and flash it .. Bootloop will be gone...

You have to flash correct kernel for your ROM....try KRsH or MESA kernel

Dude, you have indeed provided very less info. Looks like you have soft-bricked your phone. This same thing had happened to me few days back. Please read on to see what helped me get my Neo V up and running again.
If your phone is stuck at SONY logo, I doubt it will go into CWM recovery mode either. I had tried flashing stock kernel through Flashtool, and also tried the FOTA-Unbrick method via flashtool, but even that didn't help. Finally, I used the "repair" option in PC Companion which flashed Stock ICS ROM on my Neo V (however, all data on phone's internal memory was lost and my phone had to e rooted again). But at least my phone was recovered. Hope this will guide you.

Some roms need unlocked bootloaders like sense port rom... Xperia hd I am guessing as ultimate hd rom...it doesn't need unlocked bl... make sure you follow all steps like wiping etc... for roms like sense port or cyanogen you will need to unlock bl...
buggy!!!

I believe, the ROMS you flashed were Stock kernel based and hence it worked.
To try different custom ROMS which are based on custom kernels, u need a unlocked BOOTLOADER.
Type *#*#7378423#*#* and Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, you can unlock your bootloader IT DOESNT MEAN YOUR BOOTLOADER IS UNLOCKED if status shows NO, you cannot unlock it and no custom roms based on custom kernels.

Dude plz tell me the steps for installing unofficial roms. And tell me why it goes to bricked and 1 more thing that i installed official rom ics 4.0.4 through flash tool
Unlock with testpoint if you do not want to break your DRM: androidflip.com/unlock-xperia-phones-bootloader-without-losing-drm-data-track-id-working/
Then download Flashtool (Google, it is first link). Put custom rom zip anywhere on sd card. Extract boot.img from zip and put it on desktop or anywhere on hdd. Download gapps 20121011 from goo.im. Connect phone in fastboot mode (hold right menu key while plugging USB and led should be blue). Press lighting button and select fastboot mode. Flash kernel (browse to boot.img). Reboot phone and keep pressing volume down until recovery mode shows up. Do full wipe (data, cache, dalvik cache). Then select install zip from file. Install ROM and then gapps then reboot. Some ROMs may require reboot again in recovery before installing gapps. First boot can take a while so be patient. If you still don't get it, read pinned topics, for some ROMs there is also quick tip how to do install. Good luck.

Sam,
You need unlocked BL for flashing custom ROMs. Its obvious you also should have ROOT and CWM installed(I believe you do have these already )
1)Type *#*#7378423#*#* and Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status.
If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, you can unlock your bootloader( IT DOESNT MEAN YOUR BOOTLOADER IS UNLOCKED) if status shows NO, you cannot unlock it and no custom roms which are based on custom kernels.
2) If BL status is YES --> Try to unlock it.. 2 ways are there
1.Sony Official method CLICK HERE (You lose DRM values, warrenty is VOID)--> i unlocked my mobile officially
2.Unofficial TEST point method (Nothing to lose, but manual work needed) --> my mobile dint support this way since it was manufactured in 12w15 and official unlock is only way.
LINK TO BOOTLOADER UNLOCK THREAD I strongly recommend you to read the Bootloader thread first to understand what it is actually.
after unlocking by the any of the ways, you can flash ROMS and kernels of your wish..

and tell me that is kernel is responsible for this or not????????
please help me i want to taste JELLY BEAN
what is the difference between 4.1.b.0.431 and 4.1.B.0.587 in flash tool file and which is require to clearified my above problem HELp Me PlEaSe !!!!!!!!!!
Of course. You didn't read my post, did you? Kernel (usually named boot.img) is in zip of every custom rom. I described you how to flash kernel with Flash Tool. It is not the same procedure as on Galaxy phone where all work can be done from cwm. You should see e.g. FreeXperia logo if you have flashed CyanogenMod and appropiate kernel.
Gesendet von meinem Xperia Neo V mit Tapatalk 2
If all done like root boot unlock etc.. Yu can install any room that is developed for yur phne..
Steps:
First, Install kernel of the Rom(boot.img) from the custom Rom zip (extract boot.img to yur pc) thrugh fastbootmode using flash tool.
Then boot, and try entering CMW mode and flash corresponding Rom..
Also make sure u clear the cache and things that have been told in the Rom installion procedure.

On what rom are you? Since you have unlocked flash a kernel which supports your rom.... Then you will get cwm... Then you can flash some font zip to try getting back your rom...or go back to stock with flashtool but you will lose your data this way...

if you will post half baked question
you are bound to receive half baked answers

Hey bro one tip: remember CWM mode is in kernel.you need to install a kernel to enter in CWM mode. If you have unlocked bootloader dont need install CWM app. Put on the search bar "how to install kernel"
Press thnks if I help to your mind.
Sent from my SK17i using xda premium
look man :
You are on locked bootloader . also when you flash this Rom you format your System through CWM . so your CWM gone .
Solution . if you don't want to Flash it every time you flash a new Rom Unlock your bootloader and install a custom Kerne like LuPuS or Kappa or any Kernel in Development section
if you will still locked . flash it every time you flash a new Rom
Hope this helped
