when i flashed the ice cream purness rom but i didnt wipe the data and the cache what happend that when i reboot the phone it stays on the sony logo i tried downloading the fastboot and using it but it tells me that my device isnt rooted and i already installed a custom rom !!
please help
To use custom kernels you need to have unkocked bootloader, which in this case is what fastboot is calling root.
first of all forger about pureness and flash a ftf rom (using flashtool)
then unlock ur bootloader (you can find how to in dev section)
flash alliance kernel (look it up in dev section) into the device (flashtool again)
now u can install it as it says in pureness thread by cwm

This means that now you have to disconnect your phone from the usb cable!
Try pc companion or SEUS.
(SEUS is better).
Although flash tool is best.
AND NEXT TIME FOLLOW THE GUIDE
also try with flashtool the latest version and try flashing other stock rom like gingerbread?

Can someone of you senior members describe me how to flash custom kernel via Flashtool 0.6.5.
I try to put kernel .ftf file in Flashtool/devices/x10/kernel but Flashtool can't see it. Just see another kernel, which is there by default (modfxp.doomkernel.v.0.6 for locked bootloader). Then I try to put in firmwares folder, and when I pressed flash (lightning) button small window appear with my kernel file, and some other file (bootlock or something like that). I pick my kernel and Flashtool start to flash something. After I was told to disconnect, press back, and connect again usb (flashmode), phone start to boot with new bootimage (DoomLord one), and then turn off, and battery showed like on charging. I wait a little bit, disconnect from usb, and try to turn on phone, but phone stuck with doomkernel image.
I flashed back to stock with SEUS, root, and unlock bootloader again.
Can someone tell me what went wrong, and how to flash custome kernel???

Sure, here's (mirror) a small tutorial on how to do this. Just skip the part with rooting Your phone (if You already have root) and continue with unlocking. Please don't forget about DOWNGRADING
First: the phone was rooted long ago succesfully - thats not the problem
i think i kinda f***** it up by trying to install feralab v14 custom rom over cyanogen 7 without performing cleaning, backup, putting a new kernel or firmware(dont know if i even need to do it). I've searched the forums far and wide, found nothing but dead links.
flashtool doesnt recognize the device(green light is on when i hold back and connect), s1tool doesnt recognize it... i cant enter bootloader i cant basically do anything with it.. can someone please help me?

Woawww, with this ton of i don't know, it will be hard to help u...
First let's try with PC Companion (PCC) .. use the link in my signature "How to use PC Companion"...
To have it google is your friend it's the official app from Sony Ericsson
..
i already have pcc i will now take a look at the manual

Once you're on StockRom, use flashtool to root...
If you are on 2.1 stock rom use flashtool to install a 2.3 stock rom, once you did it unlock your bootloader and install a kernel with his wifi module... Then you're ready to install FeraLab v14 or another rom...

my phone was already rooted, do i need to root it again?
II may need some directions about unlocking bootloader and installing kernel and stuff..
and is xrecovery erased by this?
edit : Xperia X10 was updated with 3.0.1.G.0.75.
So now you are on 2.3.3...
You have to root again your phone...
Use the last version of flashtool...
And the guide by Crowds (It's in my signature "How to use Flashtool by Crowds")...
All is explained for all the stuff... Installation of Flashtool, the drivers needed, the rooting process, the unlocked bootloader process...
Once all is done, install a kernel (It's a .tft file) with flashtool (DooMKerneL, Thgo kernel, KCkernel... )
Don't forget it's wifi module (it's a zip file to copy on sdcard and install via recovery)...
Then, copy the rom you want on sd card and install it via recovery

Buy download mode do you mean flash mode? Flashmode = phone off & unplugged, then while holding the back button plug in usb to pc. Should only get green led, no screen.

hi all,
i've used flahtool and use the flash mode. my phone is in .62 firmware EU
i've used this flashtool package from a modded ICS firmware >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1518563
- Flashtool package: Flashtool package This includes baseband .70 and userdata etc from official ICS
after using this flashtool package my phone do a boot loop
my phone is root and i've installed CWM
how to unbrick my phone ?
ps : my english is bad i'm french.
It must be because of the kernel you are using. I had the same problem with that ROM, I tried several kernels and only bootloops.
Try flashing this kernel via fastboot mode:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1566871
Then flash ROM KA18 or any other ROM, I am using ICS from team xperia and works great:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1395192
You need to have an unlocked bootloader to boot custom ROMs. If your bootloader is not unlocked then you can look in the forum for an original ROM and flash it via flashtool.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1258723.
tanks but my bootloader is locked for the moment i can unlock it...
i want to find a kernel for Android 2.3 for the firmware .62
i don' want to go in ICS for the moment
Try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1258723
If you want to have your phone rooted, flash .42 then root and then use over the air update to go to .62
i get the MT15i_4.0.2.A.0.62_1246-9107.ftf
how to flash ?
Did you confirmed if your bootloader can be unlocked?
Type *#*#7378423#*#* to enter the service menu, then Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status, it should say "Bootloader unlock allowed Yes" if bootloader unlock is not allowed you cannot use fastboot method to unlock it.
sorry but i can't boot my phone
i'm remember is possible to unlock the bootloader
unlock bootloader allowed : yes

To flash, just install FlashTool.
Then open flashTool and click on the flash icon, select flashmode. Then in the select folder section selet where you have the ftf file, click OK and follow the instructions on the screen.

Hi,
after reading for a few weeks I decided to unlock the bootloader of my st25i, flash CWM and afterwards CM 9.1 (FXP 149).
1) I successfully unlocked the bootloader
2) I used fastboot to flash boot.img from CM9 ZIP (FXP 149 kumquat)
3) Unfortunately I forgot to copy the ROM zip-file to the flash memory of my phone.
4) At first I was still able to start the phone with ICS stock rom, but no WiFi was working and no SIM was found anymore and no USB-Masstorage nor PC-Companion regognized phone = no possibility to get zip-file with rom on phone
5) I reflashed boot.img via fastboot and now I am stuck in a boot-loop.
6) current status: When starting the phone it hangs at Xperia-logo; before comes the free xperia logo; I can enter fastboot-mode and I can enter CWM; I cannot get into flashmode (green light goes of after a few seconds)
How can I get my phone working again?
Download official ics ftf from development section of ur xperia
Download flashtool
Install flashtool
Go to c/flashtool/drivers
Install drivers for ur xperia
Now switch of ur phone keep it aside
Go to flashtool
Click thunder icon
Select flashmode
Select ftf
Check no final verification
Check exclude ta
Click flash\start
Now it will ask u to connect ur phone in flashmode
Press the volume down button, keep it pressed and connect to usb
U r done wait for flashing
Reinstall fxp149 properly

Thank you, I tried that before without checking the two additions you wrote in the flashtool. Now the flash worked and I could flash gingerbread and go then to CM9.
Thank you!
Hello. I need help. Im on stock GB 4.0.2.a.0.62, stock kernel and rooted. I installed cwm using the playstore cwm(xpack?). It says the cwm is not permanent though.
I was trying to install the "HASA GB v6 beta all" using the cwm(i total wipe first), but forgot to flash the kernel first(rage kernel?), and now it wont boot.
I cant enter the cwm i guess because the cwm is not permanent.
I tried flashing official firmware back using flashtool but hang at "Reading device information"
I tried flashing the unbrickingxperia2011 ftf and flashing the firmware again but it still hang at the reading device.
Btw, my device can enter flashmode(green led) n fastboot(blue led).
Help please! Thanks a lot

Is your bootloader unlocked? If yes, just flash the kernel in fastboot mode and then you should be able to boot in cwm
You don't need to install cwm using xparts, all kernels have cwm included, so just flash a kernel you like and you have cwm :good:

No, you need to do try it again like that:
1. Go to flashtool installation folder -> drivers: install all drivers for all devices/modes
2. Launch flashtool
3. Click the flash -> flashmode
4. Select the .ftf, don't exclude anything, but tick "no final verification"
5. When the poup appears, take your phone, and take out the battery
6. After 10 seconds, reinsert the battery and hold volume down. While holding volume down connect the phone to your pc
7. Now the flashing should start and we can hope it'll work!
8. Boot up the phone, root it, install cwm, restore the backup!
On a locked bootloader, you can't flash a kernel. You need to choose a rom for locked bootloader and follow all instructions like given there :good:
