I too want to know how to convert it
It is very annoying to flash it every time with my PC some one please post!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can use Performance Control app to flash a boot.img with the phone.
Kernel.elf is just a rename of boot.img

Which performance control app

Guys I had talked with Usaamah Patel the maker of zues kernel of xperia e he said that just rename kernel. Elf into boot. IMG

[Latest Firmware] Xperia Neov .587 ftf (With 587 kernel)Depositfile Link added

Hello Everyone
As promised
Here is the Indian ftf file of the latest firmware for neov :
India ftf .587 : http://depositfiles.com/files/zlh1aa1eg
Rapidshare Link : https://rapidshare.com/files/229699....0.587_India SI 1254-8966 by abhiheart.ftf.7z [Nordic]
DepositFiles Link : http://depositfiles.com/files/fv41l9rv2 [Noridic ]
The ftf will work on all neov
Download & Extract using winrar or 7z
Install via flashtool
Do create a backup of ur current ROM
For rooting And CWM install : Same procedure as for .431 :Thanks Madfysh for the info on rooting and cwm
For peeps waiting on the kernel here is what u need to do : After flashing the ftf And rooting it and installing CWM: Go to flashtool again using flashmode U should have the.587 firmware ftf in firmware folder And in wipe section uncheck everything
In exclude section check everything except kernel that is dont check exclude kernel and thats it .. flash and reboot ..u should be fine ...
For those peeps getting bootloops after applying .431 mods on .587 here is the solution :
In CWM do clear u cache and dalvik cache before flashing the mods & for peeps looking to apply mods manually below are the instructions
For all those facing unexpected reboots on changing system apps listen carefully........
Dont directly copy the apps to /system/apps it will lead to a reboot...
Solution is
1. copy the app to /system first
2. Change permissions to rw_r__r__
3. Now copy the app to /system/app.
4. Replace it if necessary
5. As permissions were changed before replacing no reboot
6. After replacing as many apps as u want reboot the phone for changes to take effect
Njoyyy
Thanks to Salsreloded again Thanks dude
Thanks to Salsreloded for pointing it out (i knew but forgot) Thanks dude
Thanks to Samak46 bcoz of him i got to know that the update is out
For peeps not getting update on PC companion :
Install SEUS from here
http://www.sonymobile.com/in/software/phones/xperia-neo-v/
and update
For unlocked bootloaders will need to relock ur bootloader to update from SEUS or PC companion OR simply download the ftf and flash using flashtool ..root and install CWM an uare done
Good going... using kinght47's method need to get the useless apps stripped and keep it flash ready.. expect I-Scream, Hybrid, ICS tweaked on this soon

It works like a charm!! Tested with fxp205 and TheBrainsROM and booted!

Yes, That's why I didn't upload in first place. Sorry.
Yes, this method will work on all cm9 based roms (as AOKP,PA,MIUI etc.). But please follow the rules, and don't share these roms without permissions. It isn't hard. I think everybody can make it with this guide if he want.
At me unfortunately it until the end isn't working. I am doing as this way as in the guide. I wanted to install MIUI for myself and the phone went on but I am not suitable for everyday use, since very much firmly is cutting himself. I tried the same to install [ROM] [CM9] [FXP205] XperiaPremium ™ v2.5 but such a problem alone like in MIUI.W every software apparatus didn't want to join in. What am I doing badly? I ask for the response. My phone is Xperia P. I apologise for my English I am greeting.

So if i get this right:
First extract the zip, and then put the boot.img on the sd card
Second put the whole zip on the sd card
Third flash the boot.img, then flash the zip.
Correct?
No, you need to fastboot boot
.img then flash Rom

Well you can flash via CWM, but if you get any error then flash via fastboot, btw is there Boot.img at all? Yeah you can flash via CWM, but you sure you have Unlocked Bootloader?

Seems like you want the kernel of official JB ?
Get the jellybean ftf, and check exclude for everything else except kernel, in order to flash.
If you want the kernel file alone, extract it using flashtools.

its easy if you know linux basics
Use the kernel kitchen by championswimmer
Also u will need kernel.elf to work wid
Just open winrar
Open ftf file wid winrar
Extract kernel.sin
Use flashtool to dump data of kernel.sin to get a elf file to play wid
Yes u will need cygwin wid dependencies like wget p7zip etc
