Can someone of you senior members describe me how to flash custom kernel via Flashtool 0.6.5.
I try to put kernel .ftf file in Flashtool/devices/x10/kernel but Flashtool can't see it. Just see another kernel, which is there by default (modfxp.doomkernel.v.0.6 for locked bootloader). Then I try to put in firmwares folder, and when I pressed flash (lightning) button small window appear with my kernel file, and some other file (bootlock or something like that). I pick my kernel and Flashtool start to flash something. After I was told to disconnect, press back, and connect again usb (flashmode), phone start to boot with new bootimage (DoomLord one), and then turn off, and battery showed like on charging. I wait a little bit, disconnect from usb, and try to turn on phone, but phone stuck with doomkernel image.
I flashed back to stock with SEUS, root, and unlock bootloader again.
Can someone tell me what went wrong, and how to flash custome kernel???

I already read this tutorial. This is How to flash firmare. I need to flash just kernel. I wrote above that I try this method, and my phone stuck with Doomkernel boot image. Do I have to uncheck box "Wipe User Data" and check "Exclude System" instead????
UPDATE: Sorry, you are right...

Sure, here's (mirror) a small tutorial on how to do this. Just skip the part with rooting Your phone (if You already have root) and continue with unlocking. Please don't forget about DOWNGRADING
First of all, im newbie and i dont know much about this
I installed new wolfbreak v7 rom on xperia x10 but i cant get wifi working. I've read that i need doomlord's unlocked bootloaders so i downloaded .ftf file but i cant flash it, i get this in flashtool (newest version):
17/007/2012 13:07:13 - ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY="MAJOR";ERR_CLASS="SECURITY_CLASS";ERR_DYNAMIC="SIN header verification failed"
I was following this thread but i cant get it to flash.
And i know i need that CWM recovery to flash the wifi.zip file but how do i get that recovery.
If anyone can tell me how do i unlock bootloader on my phone (xperia x10). My phone is not sim-unlocked, only rooted.
Initially (from a shop) in the phone the bootloader is locked.
If you want to flash a kernel for unblocked bootloader, then at first it is needed to execute procedure of unlocking of bootloader.
how do i do that?

Is your phone sim-unlocked? Cwm is included within doomkernel.

Edit is ur bootloader still locked? If so I'd suggest unlocking (it very easy to do and can be relocked for warranty purposes etc)
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
u can follow below step to use CWM recovery:
1.download CWM recovery zip file and put it into SD card
2.boot into your phone installed recovery
3.select "Install custom zip" and select the CWM recovery zip file to flash
then u can use CWM recovery.
Hi, I'm on wolf's Rom.
First of, did you make a clean install starting from 2.1?
Then after rooting your phone & putting xrecovery onto it, you have to unlock your bootloader with the same flashtool. ( plug in phone & press unlock bootloader in flash tool)
After that's done, enter xrecovery, wipe everything(factory reset etc.) & install Wolf's Rom for UB Important is, do not reboot, take out your battery & flash dooms kernal through flash tool!!
When that's done, you can install dooms WiFi fix through xrecovery!!
Hope I could help you out

For all of you having problems with unlocking bootloader. Simply follow this(I did this with Wolfbreak's v7 ROM on):
1. Download the latest Flashtool v0.6.7.0(you can get it here)
2. Run it, then plug the device.
3. (In flashtool) Go to Plugins> Unlock bootloader.
4. Follow the instructions in flashtool(always look at the log)
5. Done, your bootloader is unlocked.
Hope this helps
Download link is not reuploaded
EDIT: Oh and yeah, don't forget to install the flashtool drivers, it can be found on the install directory "Flashtool\drivers". If a message appears while installing just click "Install this driver anyway" it will appear many times, just keep on clicking it til installation is done. Good Luck everyone!

i will if this doesnt succeed so far looking good, its downloading and installing stock rom
Once you're on StockRom, use flashtool to root...
If you are on 2.1 stock rom use flashtool to install a 2.3 stock rom, once you did it unlock your bootloader and install a kernel with his wifi module... Then you're ready to install FeraLab v14 or another rom...

my phone was already rooted, do i need to root it again?
II may need some directions about unlocking bootloader and installing kernel and stuff..
and is xrecovery erased by this?
edit : Xperia X10 was updated with 3.0.1.G.0.75.
So now you are on 2.3.3...
You have to root again your phone...
Use the last version of flashtool...
And the guide by Crowds (It's in my signature "How to use Flashtool by Crowds")...
All is explained for all the stuff... Installation of Flashtool, the drivers needed, the rooting process, the unlocked bootloader process...
Once all is done, install a kernel (It's a .tft file) with flashtool (DooMKerneL, Thgo kernel, KCkernel... )
Don't forget it's wifi module (it's a zip file to copy on sdcard and install via recovery)...
Then, copy the rom you want on sd card and install it via recovery

Buy download mode do you mean flash mode? Flashmode = phone off & unplugged, then while holding the back button plug in usb to pc. Should only get green led, no screen.

Hi,
I unlock bootloader in sony xperia u in official way throught sony. I have sony xperia U naturally, everything went good, i have unlocked bootloader but phone looks like without root rom manager, superuser and other apps say i havent got root, where can be mistake?
I unlocked bootlader from official B.3.184
Boot loader unlock doesn't give root?
Must be done yourself
Get a recovery
And flash kernel with auto root
Sent from a Galaxy far far away.
and this is other problem, i use recoverx to flash clockword mod recovery, it flash cwm and reboot phone, but i cannot go into recovery, i try push volume + button when phone is starting but nothing, i try reboot in recovery too in rom manager app but it writes "an error occurred while attempting to run privilileged commands....
I think it would be better if you flashed an auto rooting kernel, check the dev section for the U I think there may be one or two. If you would consider yourself a bit of a beginner check the Xperia S dev section and there's a great Info thread by DooMLoRD. I advise you read that as it'll answer all of your questions
yes i know that flash kernel with root should be best decision, but i cannot reboot into recovery, i think it can be problem with this new firmware which i describe below, no other solution i dont find. When i try unlock bootloader again it says that i have unlocked bootloader yet, but i cant flash older firmware, because phone still goes from flashmode after some seconds, i try it with sony pc companion, and with flashtool too, both cannot flash older firmware. So i have unlock bootloader but without root i cant flash older firmware and have no solution great one

I can´t get my head around this... some help, please?
I have a rooted Ray with firmware .587. Works fine. I have also used X-parts to install CWM that I know is not "the real deal".
Now I want to install MIUI. For that I have to use a different kernel. Fine! After a lot of hassle I got the latest Flashtool installed and the driverpack. When I enter fastbootmode I get the message that my phone is not rooted... wtf? I have flashed ROM´s for God´s sake...
- FAILED (remote: The Device must be rooted first)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So... my questions now is as follows:
1. Witch version of Flashtool can I use to unlock my bootloader? I can´t seem to find the option in the latest version 0-9.9.0
2. Why does Flashtool say that I´m not rooted? I used this guide to root: http://androidadvices.com/root-sony-xperia-ray-official-ics-404-firmware-tutorial/
3. Can I get permanent CWM installed on my phone? With unlocked bootloader, right?
I have tried the latest SDK but I just don´t understand it... and then I read that Flashtool can both unlock bootloader and flash CWM. For the record.... I have already got the code from SE to unlock my bootloader.
Help, please?

Flashtool means that your bootloader is not unlocked or not rooted. You first have to unlock bootloader in order to flash custom kernel. If you have blue led on fastboot mode then follow the instructions in the Sony's officially way to unlock bootloader . you should have searched more and posted in Q&A section

Allright!
Well, I tried the SE Bootloader Unlocking Tool by quangnhut123 and it worked. I also used it to install Another kernel and so I got CWM. After that Everything Went as a breeze!
Thanx anyway!
