1.Tell the easiest way to unlock bootloader of my Xperia St15i
Want to flash a custom kernel to over clock my mini so also i want to know the highest stable frequency.
2.Is it possible to turn off the light of two soft button ( Menu key & Back key)
In dark this light spreads in the whole screen portion and looks pathetic like a local phone so i would like to turn it off
Check my signature for unlocking bootloader.
For the other question try apps like RootDim.
Thanks,
Rick

I did not understans your question properly. But from what I could make out, you were asking if Flashtool can be used for flashing Stock Firmwares on Unlocked bootloaders.
The answer is yes. You can use flashtool to flash Firmwares even if your bootloader is unlocked.

Yea. Unlock bootloader. Flash the firmware (if you are already not on it). Install your desired kernel using flashtool. And you are done.
To overclock you will need to use apps.

Like DragonClawsAreSharp said unlock the bootloader, then flash a different kernel, I suggest (for ICS) KRsH Kernel v3.0 (ICS) which can be found here, or Rage Kernel v3.2 (ICS) which can be found here, then you just need to download the appropriate app for overclocking, I suggest the free No-frills CPU Control, which can be found on Google PlayStore or here, hope I helped.

Thanks dude.!!
But rootdim is not working
any other app can do that??
To switch off softkeys light, try chosing in rootdim other lights, button-backlight and choose rfkill0.
Then you can save as a shortcut.
Bye.

yes!!!!
basically when you flash a ROM you get back on stock kernel (at least in case of locked boot loader) and you hv to flash the custom kernel separately!!
Okay man, !
And, how can i know if i have unlocked bootloader?

you don't have unlocked bootloader by default. you have to unlock it using the_laser's unlock app. check the dev section for that. I am still on locked BL, broken USB
Ahhh ok. I thought that the wolf ROM already have the unlocked BL, cuz it instslled the doom's kernel.

neah!! the kernel was then included with the rom.
you can ask the dev i.e Wolf to provide you with the flash-able stock kernel package or you can flash the stock kernel + baseband tft file using flashtool!
P.S. I remember that WB had posted the return to stock kernel package in his thread!
Yes, he did. He posted the stock and custom, so i can flash stock again (=

Now it all makes sense. With WB the it first load SE kernel, kill the SE and then starts DooM's kernel, right?
So if i mske the_laser's process, it wont load SE kernel anymore.

It is always suggested to take a backup of stock rom before installing any custom rom..have you taken any backups?
I did not make a backup when I flashed custom roms because I was a complete noob and I just flash a custom rom. Btw thanks for your reply.

u have already installed naa kernel, meaning that you have unlocked bootloader. this article said that you can update through SEUS if you have unlocked the bootloader. i'm not experienced with x10mp bootloader issue before this but my gtab7 experienced bootloader problem after unlocked,flash the stock bootloader and solved the problem.
but you said that you have flash the stock kernel and still cant install through seus. why dont you try to reinstall seus,mybe something wrong with it. and btw,did you manage to flash stock kernel successfully?

You dont need stock kernel if you have locked bootloader. It cant be deleted on locked bootloaders. If you run any rom without custom kernel, the stock one will be loaded instead.

If you still in locked bootloader, there is 1 safe way:
Xrecovery, fullwipe, wipe cache partition...will get semc kernel and data reset from beginning
NOTE THAT THESE ACTIONS WILL CLEAR ALL USER'S DATA!!!
Even you want 3.0.1.G.0.75 kernel, just in case if bad things happen in future:

Done. Hope helps.

Better First upgrade to ics. Is your Bootloader unlocked?
Otherwise you will have to use local prop method. Check out my signature there's a rooting guide. In the guide there's how to root 4.1.B.0.431 and there's the Link to DragonClawsAreSharp's great tutorial

If your Bootloader is unlocked you needn't do the procedure in the tutorial, just Flash the ics Firmware ftf via flashtool and Flash a custom ics Kernel, for example rage Kernel for 4.0.4. After that install the custom rom

Just flash it with wipe all, but before do a backup using for example titanium backuü. Wipe all and exclude nothing.
After flashing plug off, let phone turned off, hold volume up and connect to pc, flash a rooted kernel (like I said for example rage kernel for 4.0.4) and boot up. Enable usb debugging and unknown sources and msc mode (not necessary just for sure), push the rom installation zip to sd card and shut down.
Flash the recommend kernel and boot in cwm. See what has to be formatted/wiped and after that install the rom.
Reboot and enjoy

You can't Update until Sony hasn't released it. If your bootloader is Locked you can connect to pc companion and it'll find the Update, but it has to be released First. You will have to wait

there is no cwm for locked bootloader on gb, that's why i didn't mention it. You have to unlock bootloader, install custom kernel prerooted and with cwm.
What do you mean for stock kernel and cm10.1 kernel? I am confused. Stock kernel is one thing and cm10.1 kernel is another thing. cm10.1 kernel you can find it inside the zip with the rom you have to download.

To flash stock rom there is no need to unlock bootloader but to flash custom one you need to unlock bootloader.....

I think I'm confusing us and myself. so
1. no matter which ROM I use how can I flash GB or ics stock ROM via PC/flash tools in offline. It should work 100% (because xperia u got only limited internal memory. and that's why I can't keep backup files alway . and if I break my phone I will not able to use internal memory to copy any files there)
2. can I switch between any to any type ROM like
GB to cm10
cm10 to ICS
3. can I switch between stock gb to custom ICS ROM directly?
I will unlocked my bootloader
