Hello,
I would like to know if its possible to flash a kernel from within xrecovery? Did some one already tryed that, or will this screw up my device for sure? Or if theres another way to flash kernel and rom without the use of a pc.

you can only flash kernel from recovery if you are on locked bootloader

YOu can simply replace kernel if you are using any custom ROM on locked kernel.
Then you can simply copy and paste it (overwrite)
EDIT: As I know, this cant be applied when on unlocked bootloader (you havent noticed it before).
Yeah, well apperntly im outta luck i geus. My x10i is rooted + unlocked bootloader, but im running 2.3.3 gb.... No custom rom, about the kernel i dont know if its stock or custom, i would have to take i look at google to find it out.
Edited: And yeah, looking back it would indeed bin better if i posted this info in first post.
After all it looks that im gonna have to borrow a pc by a friend.

Yes, info is correct. Locked uses xrecovery, but unlocked needs flashtool & pc.

Can someone tell me how to run the custom kernel made by z? Like exact instructions links needed clearly? I readed a few threads but didnt understand anything o.o

in that case its probably safer for you to just leave it alone. The kernel still needs work anyways and I myself am pretty firmilar with the flashing process and still managed to cause my phone to get stuck at the sony ericsson boot screen after flashing

Zzz like what the guy above me said, if your not 100% familiar with the flashing process then don't. Sigh might as well.
1 root your phone
2 install busybox and xrecovery
3 download the custom kernel
4 boot into xrecovery
5 install custom zip
6 select your kernel zip
7 wait a while, when done reboot
8 wait 10 min and done.

Do anyone know how to update to 2.3? I want to run the CM7.

Use the GB by J from here
Just unpack the file, flash the baseband then flash the rom.

And before installing ROM wipe everything in xRecovery.
Thanks! I'll see if I can get my X10 to run this CM7! Hoping nothing goes wrong. Oh! and one more, how do you flash the rom after I flash the x10?

just FYI, your phone will always be X10a, it doesn't matter if it says X10i or x, it's whatever the Dev wrote. I changed mine to say 'denenatse' :-D

Hi Guys n Gals.
So i just unlocked my bootloader, at least i believe so..(no sony text anymore)
But i used a fresh 2.3.3 stock rom to do it. Now i have 2 questions..
1) can i "restore" my Z's cm7 rom just as usual via recovery/will this affect (or be affected by) the bootloader unlock?
2) Can i continue with flashing/installing new roms etc.. just as before?
Sorry, but i don't know and searching gave me no clue!!!

Judging from what I read in the forums,
1) Yes
2) Yes.
The bootloader is PERMANENTLY unlocked,
nothing you could do can re-lock it.
So... happy flashing and restoring!! LOL!

So its safe to flash fps and audio fix by z right?
How about flashing kernel other than doom's(thjap, goro n other)

Ok, thank you for clarifying, 1 thing I realised is that it was permanent, I was just worried I might brick it with something!!

so far doom has come out with a kernel for unlocked BL... so I'd say its presumably safe to use atm. As for the rest custom kernels, please wait... we don't want a brick sitting in our hands now. Do we?!
You can do anything with your phones, exactly like before the unlock.
It will remain unlocked permanently.
You can flash all the zips in the world, the bootloader will still be unlocked.
I, for one, use goro's kernel at the moment, exactly as I did before.
My impression, we can treat the new ftf.kernels as directly replacing the original stock kernel. Therefor no need to use bypass at all. Can someone confirm this please?
Thanks.

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)

Could it be due to locked bootloader?
Also install the file in the flashtool\drivers folder to make sure it's not a driver issue
And update flashtool to v8.5.0/8.6.0

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...
