Yes, it just won't let you flash.
Hi again...
Ok, if i understand correct, i'll have a fastboot error, is that a bad thing? since my device is locked and i am not able to unlock the bootloader, i guess that won't be a problem, so...
if i flash a custom kernel let say doom's kernel i just can re install stock rom via recovery? or i still can use flash mode in flash tool?
sorry for the dumb questions, thanks in advance!..

You won't be able to flash a custom kernel, it just won't work. You can't flash a custom ROM either, only stock (= signed) ROMs.

hi, recently i have installed some MIUI rom on my neo v, and was working perfect. but i wanted to go back to the stock roms, but i had a problem, and it was that it would take about 2 hours for every percent (using flashtool) !!! so i tried changing kernels, and the problem presisted, until i dont know how, i removed the kernel, and i couldn't install one again cuz it said that for doing so, i need to root my phone.
so basically, i have a phone without kernel and rom! can anyone help me fix it?
You don't need to root your phone to flash kernels. Flash kernels using fastboot. Do you have a nandroid backup?
Flash a stock ftf, sounds like you might have relocked your bootloader

well im only trying to flash a stock ftf, but im having the problem i said before!
and i have tried to do it in locked and unlocked bootloader, but there was no difference!
how many pc programs are there that can flash a rom?
is there any that can flash MIUI or CM roms (i mean zip ones)?
Flashtool for flash firmware like FTF file or flash kernel.
Fastboot for flash kernel only.
CWM for flash ROM through SD Card.
If u want revert back to stock.u will need FTF file and the right one flashtool...tick no verification final.

I'll attempt helping
Let's start with flashing a Stock ftf. U have one already. Use flashtool and do all as instructed. Untick Final Verification. Even if it is 2 hours per percent, just let it run. Perhaps your PC is slow.
And don't worry about battery running out. Did you know that when using recovery, if you remove the battery while the phone is still plugged into the computer, it won't turn off? It should be the same when using flashtool. Don't worry about battery
Once done, boot up your phone to check everything is done. If this worked, PM me, and I'll guide you through a MIUI flash.
You're welcome
1 more thing. Redownload the ftf. Maybe it is buggy.
Hey bro.
Is it fixed? Please let us know
sorry for being late to response!
good news, i fixed it! I dont know why i didn't try it sooner, but i tried flashing it with another pc, and it worked!
now i want some good roms for it,preferably based on JB. what are the bests out there?
BTW, Jass, your theory about "infinite battery while connected to pc" didn't turned out to be true, and it made me buy a direct charger! so please do not do this at home, school or...
when flashing ftf roms check in log to see if it gets stuck in this message [Ending Flash Session] (cuz it wont continue flash anymore)
if yes
plug out the usb
restarst your computer
try different usb ports

If you were able to flash the rage kernel and DDS kernel then that means that you have an unlocked kernel. Also if you are able to boot into fastboot then you have an unlocked bootloader.

its pretty obvious.. when you flash the stock rom manually, some of the stuffs are not in order as the factory one even if the version is same.. so to put it in order perfectly you have to install the update...

hmmm....which boot.img did you use by the way??? i believe you flash the wrong boot.img......
since you have unlock bootloader, you can flash custom kernel to your phone...by using custom kernel, you don't need to Root or flash CWM anymore cause all custom kernel have pre-rooted and CWM....

2GHz is the highest overclocked that kernel can offer to your phone but.....
NEVER OVERCLOCKED HIGHER THAN 1401Mhz....you going to burn your phone CPU if you overclocked higher than that....

Your phone will return to stock as it just came out of the box if you flash the factory image via fast boot. Including kernel and recovery therefore, you will lose cwm. You can also lock up the boot loader again using toolkit.

I've been thinking, when you upgrade your device's software from GB to ICS via flashtool,it flashes a kernel even if your bootloader is locked. So would it be possible to change the kernel in the stock ICS ftf rom file with a custom one, and flash it that way? Correct me if i made a mistake.

Back on the old Xperia 2010 devices, there was no option for unlocking the bootloader. Our devices(2011 devices) are the first to get this option, so for those devices custom kernel.sin files were there. Check this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363460
