Copy the ftf file to /flashtool/firmwares on your PC/Notebook. Then select the Kernel from the selection list after invoking the flash button (lightening icon) and selecting flashmode.

Tried it but firmware is not listed when I click in flash

If .zip then how will u flash using flashtool? Flashtool only read .ftf if u got zip try to extract it first or change the extention. Mind giving me the link to the .zip fw?

Whenever i boot by pressing back button i only get CWM and no xrecovery i think the kernel i installed has CWM pre-installed bcoz before installing this kernel i had xrecovery which changed to CWM after installing CMx10 kernel

Well this kernel does not boot my custom rom (ferralab) and has no cwm so im not able to proced.
I have repaired the phone via sony pc companion, then rooted, installed your kernel and finaly the cwm of the flashtools and still not able to recognize the sony ericsson x10i
Any other help?
the kernel above is for fxp-cm9 roms. if you are using feralab ics, you need to use the ferakernel_ics located here: http://www.mediafire.com/?bt92v0qpxt9varq

how did you flash the kernel? its a zip file so you cant flash it through flashtool and in CWM im unable to as its getting stuck without any error messages...
I flashed fxp kernel 129 with cwm via flash tools.
And all went good after.

Is it important to be on another ics rom before flashing a cm9 rom? When i went to feralab ics it was necessary. I want to flash VR's Xperia S ics rom and im not sure if i can flash fxp 132 and then the xperia s ics rom if i am on stock GB firmware before. Thanks for help!

Don't need any pre-installation of CM9 roms.. all you need Xperia ICS rom and you are good to go...
1) flash the FXP132 kernel using flashtool..
2) Start phone and go to recovery and do factory reset. cache wipe, dalvik wipe..
3) Go to mounts and storage select mount/data, mount/system
3a) Now select format/cache and format cache similarly format/data and format/system
4) Now select and flash the VR's Xperia X ICS rom and restart
5) Go back to CWM and install Gapps and sony's add on apps if you want and restart..
6) Now log in to your google account and download what ever apps you want
6) Go back to CWM and wipe cache and dalvik cache but do not select "Factory/data reset"
You should be good to go
Im also attaching FXP132 kernel with this post so that you dont have to search for it.... Thank FXP for his amazing work....

Then you can use flashtool to flash kernel
Open at the directory you have installed flashtool exp( c>flashtool then click driver folder)
Tick your phone, flashmode and fastboot driver
Then you can flash kernel using fastboot mode
(select thunder icon in flashtool then select fastboot then select reboot to fastboot mode (at right) and then select kernel to flash, after everything done you have to select reboot device into system
