guys can anyone help me to flash mesa v1.5!? when I put the renamed file (.img-.boot.img) in kernel_instalation_package/fastboot and double-click on flash cmd gives me error: cannot load boot.img! tryed also with extended stock kernel and error is still there!
some info about my phone:
stock ics 4.1.B.0.431 not rooted
unlocked bootloader with s1tool (testpoint method)
File name has to be boot.img and it has to be in the same folder as the flash.cmd file.

Go to dev section and in the search write cwm and you will find a .bat file for cwm... Install it... Super easy

Nope, flash through fastboot mode. Copy .img file to fastboot folder and open cmd there, then type : fastboot flash boot boot.img ( boot.img is the name of .img file )
Kernel on the latest CM rom (137) is provided in .zip file. Remember that this kernel (boot.img) is flashed last, after wiping & installing Rom successfully

Did you install fastboot driver ? Or could flash .img file through Quick Img tool

As the title, how to fastboot kernel.elf?
You just change .img for .elf
You must put kernel.elf in the folder where do you have the sdk of Android ( and so also fastboot.exe). Then you connect the XU on fastboot mode to the Pc and open a prompt-Windows command in the folder where do you have kernel.elf. On the Windows command write this: " fastboot.exe flash boot kernel.elf" Wait until all is done et voilà
use flashtool fastboot mode...
select thunder icon
connent phone in fastboot mode ( volume up pressed while connecting to usb )
select fastboot mode
click on select kernel to flash
choose ur .elf / .sin /.img kernel file
thats it .... since u choose it... it automatically flashes it....
edit - i exactly dun remember of .elf is directly supported or not there..
bt still i will let u knw when i switch on my lappy

Do one thing change that name of file to something simple I.e. Kernel.elf
The main problem is you are typing the wrong command
If your kernel name is kernel.elf
Then the command to type is
fastboot flash boot kernel.elf
And then press enter....

Heres the deal.
I got my hands on the walkman and whole android thing is pretty new to me,but i heard a lot of good responses about cyanogen and was wanting to instal it,but i faced some issues:
What I did: I unlocked the bootloader by following thread from sony site,loader was set to allow unlock,so this went succesfully i think.
Next a root was needed,tried several methods and nothing,then helped the one at talk.sonymobile
Hooray,SU app is in,allowed tiatnium and CWM installed sucessfully,phone is rooted.
Now I followed the tutorial from Cyanogen site.
Placed the rom and gapps in sd card,extracted the .img file to fastboot folder,everything is set,now I open the CMD promt in the fastboot folder,fastboot found the device,I hit the : ''fastboot -i 0xfce flash boot boot.img'' tried also '' fastboot flash boot boot.img'' but the cmd throws FAILED(the device must be rooted first).
What went wrong?the device is rooted already...I'm confused.Any suggestions?
and I wondered,is that cmd boot flash necessary,maybe i can install the cyanogen.zip and gapps.zip from cwm recovery console where it is said install from zip,cause the zip contains the boot.img and i was thinking,maybe it is possible to do it without the cmd thing.

Well,for first:install the Flashtool and drivers.it is easier to use,and it will flash the boot.img either phone rooted or not.unbelivable that you people use CMDs,just like prehistorical humans

Install the drivers from flashtool and try it with flashtool
No, on our xperia devices we have to flash the kernel first, we can't flash it via cwm

Without CMD Flash Tool would not have been able to even flash a custom kernel as fastboot.exe requires CMD. As for your problem, dial this in your phone pad - *#*#7378423#*#*
If you have successfully unlocked your bootloader, then 'Rooting Status" will show "Bootloader unlocked: Yes" else you have not done the process properly. Make sure that you have typed the unlocked code properly. The 'o' may look like in the unlock code '0'. It is safer to copy and paste the unlock code. Also, try running CMD as administrator.
check again if u already unlocked bootloader, if bootloader unlocked:yes, u have unlocked bootloader, if bootloader unlock allowed:yes, means that ur phone can unlocked bootloader n need to unlocked
Thx

thank you,the first attempt for unlocking bootloader was un sucessfull.Running CMD as administrator and typing unlock code in CAPS did it.
Now im on Cyan 9.1
thx all
So,its not possible to flash a kernel using cwm? I ve been told that in cyanogenmod you already have rom and kernel in one zip and there is no need for use of flashtool...i guess i was told wrong?

I think it can be done on newer phones, but on 2011 models, it can't be done, u have to flash kernel using fast boot in pc. But u do Ave the kernel in the same zip

I wanted to unlock my bootloader and install a custom rom but my windows won't recognise the fastboot mode so I started up with linux
I saw tutorials of recoveryX.exe and flashtool which only works for windows so I was searching for a manual way so that I could do it in the terminal ..
so I found some tutorial online which told me to flash some file something like
fastboot flash boot xyz.inf I don't remember the extension perfectly but it wasn't a zip or an img ..
and after that my phone turned off, I can still go for fastboot mode but I don't see anything on the screen please help me
I do not have windows so I cannot use flashtool or recoveryX.exe

Congrats for the brick.
Can you still get into fastboot/flash mode?
I've yet to hear about someone who used rexoveryx and it worked, forget all about it.
There is flashtool for linux, you can use it.
BTW, the only files you flash with fastboot, are with img, elf or sin extention.

I have downloaded flash tool for linux but I cannot get it work .. I cannot get it to install or anything
isn't there a way to do all this manually through Terminal Fastboot commands?
That's the only thing that I can manage to work.
Edit : I have flashed the boot.img file from the downloaded ROM I did it this way (fastboot flash boot boot.img)
and now fortunately the phone starts and also now can be charged but the OS doesn't start .. I think this can be because I haven't flashed the OS but only the boot img?
what can I do now?
P.S : I cannot use the Flashtool or RecoveryX :/ so if there's a way to do it via fastboot or something it will really be appreciated
