I tried installing the drivers that came with flashtool and it worked but only when using flashtool. So if I want to unlock the bootloader, which I am currently trying to do, I have to go to the folder which contains the drivers. Where's that? If not I'll be limited to stock kernels and certain roms. Help will be appreciated thanks

Argh Idk whats going on. When I tried going into fastboot mode it still tells me that the drivers are not installed. Thinking back, when I was flashing the stock Sony kernel for rooting using flashtool Im not actually sure it got into fast boot. I just plugged it in and it started flashing. So I dunno. I've already disabled driver enforcement as suggested in the other thread but I still can't seem to install. When I go into device manager and tried updating drivers, pointing it to the location with the USB drivers it told me it couldn't find any suitable drivers >< Please help thanks!

Try to install them with adb, I am using it every time if something cant be installed. Adb will show you why.
Syntax:
adb install /path/to/application.apk
(it will return error why it cant be installed or return simply Success)

YOu have used Flashtool yes? That means you have already installed adb drivers, hopefully

Could it be due to locked bootloader?

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...

Installing cwm is possible only by flashing a pre rooted kernel through command prompt using fastboot method.

ROM Manager
hi,
yes, it works, indeed (LT26i 4.0.4)! And in opposite to RecoveryX. Fortunately now I can get into recovery mode but is it compatible with ROM Manager from CWM? Because for me it seems not.
I wanna root my sony ericsson active (st17i) on version 4.0.4, 4.1.b.0.587, ICS, so I downgraded to GB, 4.0.2.a.0.42 . I used doomlord v4 at first but it gave me an error that the abd server was out of date...killing, so I went to flashtool and tried rooting with that but then for exploit part 1 it said 'waiting for device, after 60 sec force stop' or something, so after a min it gave me an error saying forced stop (or somting like that can't remeber exactly) I tried it several times but always an error, can someone help me? My bootloader is NOT unlocked btw. Thanks, sorry for bad english

Hi,
have you read the tutorial for rooting in this forum?
mihahn made a very good tutorial, I've just rooted my xperia active (ST17i) 2 hrs ago and it worked really well! No errors in any logs!
I've got firmware 4.1.B.0.587, I followed tutorial for .587, it link a thread in sony mobile forum (I can't link it 'cause I'm a noob ).
I didn't downgraded to .42 , just flashed a 4.1.A.0.562 kernel and after rooting (with doomlord's rootkit) re-flashed the stok firmware 4.1.B.0.587.
The entire procedure took me about 15 minutes, but I've installed/checked adb drivers, flashtool, etc, days ago.

I'm trying to flash the Tigris v1.2.1 kernel to my Neo L which is already rooted and unlocked BL. I have all the ADB drivers properly installed in my Win XP machine. Everytime I try to flash the said kernel using fastboot, the command prompt for fastboot quickly disappears. I've been trying and re-trying for the nth time, to no avail. This is so frustrating. Anyone know the fix or workaround to this? Appreciate your help.
