Hello folks !
I just wanna to root my Xperia S and get something new but i got problem with kernel and rom.
I can't boot OS or anything else, And since there is no SD Card on this mobile so there is no possibilities to transfer some files to internal storage.
When i power on my phone it restarts.
And i can't put the phone in recovery mode !?
Anyone know what i should to do ?
Regards
What did you do?

I just wrote "fastboot continue" and fastboot removed something
Any way to fix it ?
You where unlocking the bootloader??
Or flashing image file to root??
Anyway don't worry you can flash any firmware from dev section using flashtools.

Install flashtools on your pc+download any firmware from dev section.
Use flashtools to flash the ftf(firmware) file,like this your phone will be on original stock firmware.
Find doom advanced stock kernel in development section and use fastboot to flash it(all instructions in the thread).
And now your phone is rooted and have recovery.

I there
Just bought brand new xperia ray (unbranded actually )
I unlocked it successfully using THIS METHOD, then I rooted it with DooMLoRD v4 tool, then I installed the CWM and BusyBox using SE Extreme Tweak Installer v1.8.
Since then, all was okay, stock rom was functionnal and I was able to boot on the recovery, then I made a factory reset under CMW (wipe cache/data) and installed MIUI GB.
Tried to reboot but got stuck on the Sony Ericsson logo for minutes...
So I unplugged the battery and tried to boot in recovery with no success...
Did I miss something ? I am not too worried, I guess there is a way to fix this problem, I'll accept your advices
Did u try any other Rom or just the MIUI?
Did u make a backup of your Stock rom? Can you enter fastboot mode? Try to flash a kernel with cwm. Or try flashing the ICS beta. Or... i have no more ideas
If yes, did u try to restore the stock rom?
Did you flash the kernel to go with the rom?

Lol yeah. The reason I said that was because he said it was stuck at Sony Ericsson logo, and I'm not sure if MIUI roms run on Sony Ericsson kernel?
Does it? :-/
Sent from my ST18i using xda premium
Every rom i tried came with it's own kernel. Do no realy like Miui so i did no try that one.
Anyway if the kernel is the problem the a fastboot flash correct boot.img should fix the problem.
He should be able to enter CWM using the current kernel right?

MIUI kernels don't usually have the SE logo, so I guess OP didn't flash the kernel that came with the ROM.
Ho yeah, I did not flash any kernel, I think this is the point here...
I thought kernel would be included in the rom image (it's the case on HTC devices)
I am new to sony underground, seems a lil' more complicated, I'll get used to it...
Anyways, as I can't boot into recovery anymore, what can I do to flash the kernel ?
Edit : Of course I did a full backup in CWM before flashing, but i can't use it :/
You have to install flashtool from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351324
Then you enter fastboot mode: turn off your phone then hold the vol up button and insert the USB cable. You should see the blue led. this means you are in fastboot mode.
In the installation dir of Flashtool you'll have a x10flasher_lib folder. This is were the fastboot.exe file is.
The easy way is to copy the kernel(usualy a boot.img file) to this folder, then open a command prompt window and flash the kernel:
fastboot flash boot boot.img if the kernel has a different name then change the boot.img.
Done.
Anyway, if something is wrong someone please correct me.
Thank you.

It depends on your phone model. Because you mentioned flashtool I'm assuming you have an Xperia device. You can't flash kernels from cwm.

The post above answered your question and the answer is NO.
OK and thanks.
Thank you very much for the information
Hello everybody,
Please bear with me a little and if you would like to answer, please give as much details as possible.
I have and Xperia Acro S, with unlocked boot loader running a custom rom with stock kernel 4.0.4, and I have root access, and CWM installed.
I am trying to install a cyanogen based rom, with a custom kernel obviously.
I have downloaded a zip file which contains a boot.img file.
The developer asked to flash the boot.img using flashtool first, then to flash the rom with cwm. And here's my question(s)
As I understood, this boot.img contains the kernel, do I need to use flashtool if I already have CWM installed, or would CWM install the kernel also?
And let's say i extracted the boot.img from the zip file and flashed it, wouldn't this remove CWM from the phone?
And then, should the boot.img stay inside the zip file while flashing it with CWM later? or should i remove it because CWM can't flash boot.img?
I have successfully installed cyanogen roms on nexus s, with CWM alone, and the phone booted normally, and I suppose it replaced the kernel correctly, or it didn't?
And please if you could explain what exactly this boot.img is, and how is it different from a normal kernel file inside the zip, does it also contain a recovery? you get my point.
Thanks for reading so far, and thanks in advance for any answers.
i have xperia tipo and when i go to flash vengeance kernel with flashtool says:you need to be root and e.g.
i have unlocked bootloader and rooted phone!!!!!!!!please help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!(sorry for my bad english)

Agreed with senior. Drivers might not be installed properly, or flashing wrong files. Make sure X10 Brand name exists in flashtool alright.

Bootloader have two types: Locked Bootloader and Unlocked Bootloader. Normally Developers will provide 2 version of ROMs to be flashed. Safest flashing for Locked Bootloader is via Xrecovery, while Unlocked Bootloader is Flash FTF Kernel and recommended Recovery. You can check/identify your Bootloader Status and also Simlock Certificate (see whether Suitable to be unlocked bootloader) via S1tool by senior 9luka5
link for S1tool here For more tutorial, you can visit my signature links for PDf guides. Thank you. Cheers

Download the latest version of flashtool v0.9... I think u can unlock bootloader by going to "plugins" tab right next to help....it would show up only if your bootloader is locked... once you unlock then you can flash any kernel you want... remember to backup your existing ROM using recovery before you go around messing with phone

Before I can give you any link I have small question... is your phone rooted? And what version of android you r running ? And if its a custom ROM then what ROM are you using?
BTW you can't flash custom kernel without unlocking bootloader.. you need to unlock bootloader to flash kernel... kernels are usually ftf files you can download them and flash using flashtool.... different ROMs have different kernel so you need to read instructions on ROM thread you r interested in...

You have soft bricked your phone.. don't worry, download a ROM which you can use for locked bootloader and follow the steps and you should be good to go... to get into flash mode try this.... don't connect your phone but start Seus-> update software-> repair-> software will ask you to get into flash mode so turn off phone by removing battery, connect the phone without battery-> place the battery while holding the back button down and phone will get into flash mode and stock ROM will be flashed...

Fastboot.
you cant get stuck on fastboot if your phone is not connected to the PC or am i wrong ?!
flash a new firmware via flashtool you can download it in the Android development section
to get the phone to flashmode press volume down, hold it and connect it to the PC , flashtool will recognize it.
then click on the lighting on the upper left and choose flashmode, then choose the firmware you want to flash.

I got it... You must have flashed a wrong kernel for your phone.
Are you on gb/ics?
Choose the right kernel for your os.
Then choose the appropriate kernel for the firmware. (it's like .452,.45,etc)
Now flash the kernel through command prompt using fastboot method.

Rooting shouldn't just cause your phone not to boot. How did you root? Which rom did you try to flash?? And you cannot use PC Companion or SEUS after unlocking bootloader. For now, to get your mobile into a working condition, flash a stock ftf file using flashtool. If you don't know how to do that, then check the general section or this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2067008

did you flash the kernel that was working/compatible with that rom? if not , then flash it.
