Ya.. But whenever I flash optimax Rom even on .587 stock firmware the phone gets stuck on Sony logo. The bl is unlocked but still can't get into recovery after flashing the Rom. So Every time I have to reflash the stock Rom and follow rooting process again, did that thrice! Any advice?
Is there any other requisite before flashing the Rom?

I thought you said bootloader was locked...if its unlocked then just flash a custom kernel...nd you'll have recovery. No need to repeat the whole flashing..rooting process again.

Can you suggest a good kernel which won't cook the phone, and why doesn't the ROMS have kernels built into it? Is it because the ROMS are built for all the neo phones?

No kernel will cook the phone. You only have to use GB kernel for GB ROMs, ICS kernel for ICS roms, etc. A new kernel will change nothing at your rom.
Sony doesn't allow flashing kernel via a cwm zip like on Samsung phones.

Hi there all! And happy new year!!!
Couple of questions,
First, Zoner antivirus found this the exploits, should i be worried?
1: File is infected: exploit.AndroidOS.Lotoor.G -sdcard/bluetooth/SdxAppRemoval-1.5.apk
I removed the app, scan, removed
2: App is infected: Exploit.AndroidOS.Lotoor.G com.caspian.android.removal
Phone is rooted by Superoneclick
Android: 2.3.4
Build: 4.0.2.A.0.42
Second question, if i upgrade to .62, will the phone still be rooted?
And finally, any use of lookout antivirus? Cus it did not seem to find any exploit, but Zoner did.
HAPPY NEW YEAR! 2012! )

Did your device rooted? Try to install cwm recovery, then format system, format data, format cache, format sd card, dont reboot your phone, select mount sd card, then put one of the custom ROM (ex, SE Tweaked) to your sd card, unmount, then flash the rom, reboot.
If your bootloader was unlocked, i recommend you to flash inteks or doomkernel first, cause it has built in cwm recovery, so you dont have to worried if flashing doesnt work.
Use it with your own risk.
Let me know if its help.

It depends on your phone model. Because you mentioned flashtool I'm assuming you have an Xperia device. You can't flash kernels from cwm.

The post above answered your question and the answer is NO.
OK and thanks.
Thank you very much for the information
Hello everybody,
Please bear with me a little and if you would like to answer, please give as much details as possible.
I have and Xperia Acro S, with unlocked boot loader running a custom rom with stock kernel 4.0.4, and I have root access, and CWM installed.
I am trying to install a cyanogen based rom, with a custom kernel obviously.
I have downloaded a zip file which contains a boot.img file.
The developer asked to flash the boot.img using flashtool first, then to flash the rom with cwm. And here's my question(s)
As I understood, this boot.img contains the kernel, do I need to use flashtool if I already have CWM installed, or would CWM install the kernel also?
And let's say i extracted the boot.img from the zip file and flashed it, wouldn't this remove CWM from the phone?
And then, should the boot.img stay inside the zip file while flashing it with CWM later? or should i remove it because CWM can't flash boot.img?
I have successfully installed cyanogen roms on nexus s, with CWM alone, and the phone booted normally, and I suppose it replaced the kernel correctly, or it didn't?
And please if you could explain what exactly this boot.img is, and how is it different from a normal kernel file inside the zip, does it also contain a recovery? you get my point.
Thanks for reading so far, and thanks in advance for any answers.
i have xperia tipo and when i go to flash vengeance kernel with flashtool says:you need to be root and e.g.
i have unlocked bootloader and rooted phone!!!!!!!!please help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!(sorry for my bad english)

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 rooted my xperia ray this morning and installed The Beautiful ICS ROM from sd card. When the phone was rebooting after the installation, it is stuck on the SONY logo and doesn't respond . Tried fixing it by using pc companion but was no use as it was showing some sort of an error . Mine is an unlocked bootloader. Please help me ASAP

Rooting shouldn't just cause your phone not to boot. How did you root? Which rom did you try to flash?? And you cannot use PC Companion or SEUS after unlocking bootloader. For now, to get your mobile into a working condition, flash a stock ftf file using flashtool.

did you flash the kernel that was working/compatible with that rom? if not , then flash it.

Hi there.
I got a quite serious problem as I recently wanted to flash CyanogenMod 11 on my Xperia Sola.
The problem is I downloaded it, placed on pseudo-SD card and wiped everything. Then, when I tried installing the rom it gave me an error of "assert failed" crap...
Mounting USB does not work and Windows cannot install drivers (even with PC Companion on).
I think I just broke my phone... It's stuck on Sony logo all the time and I can't even get into CWM now... [email protected]#!k.
Help please? :/
