[Q] Flashtool cannot exclude - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

hi,
I'm trying to install the Super Jelly Bean 4.0 and
therefore I have to flash stock ics .587 excluding: kernel and simlock.ta but those options aren't available nor visible in my flashtool. and by researching they should be enabled. I tried this on an other computer same deal there
OS used:
windows 7 - 64 bit
windows 8 - 64 bit
phone:
Sony Ericson Xperia ray running stock ics .587
screen of flash tool (version 9.10.1 downloaded here):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
anyone got a clue on how to fix this or what I might be doing wrong?

Do a backup in cwm first
Then simply flash a kernel for sjb and install the rom. You don't really need to flash .587 first, it's just recommended and I didn't do that too

You can still install .587 and flash the right kernel after that.

Now it got stuck on the fusion logo (installed v5.5), it remains showing up, shutting the phone down and then restart to the logo
any idea's on how to fix that?
I know it says this might take some time, but I've been waiting 4~5h so I think it's stuck

not sure what you mean by this?
In fastbood mode on my phone
> flash kernel (using the .img file downloaded from fusion)
and then?

What he meant was flash the Kernel Included with the ROM but there is no Included kernel with Super jelly bean.
Try the latest Lupus kernel (that's the one i use) and try re-flashing SJB.

Thanks I tink I'm slowly getting how this work, but flashing with lupus gives me same just the logo (maybe just installing)
but I think I might be doing something wrong:
Let me just tell what i do in flashtool
phone in fastboot (blue light)
in cmd: > fastboot.exe flash boot "luPus_urushi_jBv8(5).img"
- Start phone
- Root phone (tool I foned that seems to work)
- install x-parts
- install CWM
-- go in recovery mode
----> wipe data / factory reset
----> wipe cache partition
----> wipe dalvik cache
-- In mounts and storage
----> erase system
----> erase data
----> erase cache
-- install from sd
----> SJB
----> gapps
this should work? or might I be forgetting some parts or doing somehting wrong?

If you've already flashed the kernel, then there's no need to root or install cwm again. The kernel has auto root function and cwm included, so simply flash the kernel, do the wipes and install the rom

yes yes i ment this only! i didnt knew that rom does not include a kernel. so take the kernal which the rom says, and flash it via fastboot. U are goin right

remember you have debugging, external sources checked. and you have the adb drivers installed for your device

Which devoce are you using? The rom might not be working for you. Have you tried cyanogenmod? I am running this rom on my two devices. even the kernal is inbuilt.

After some distraction, I started with a clean head, and even fixed my phone in 1 try
(found out you can access CMW by pressing down arrow while booting the phone)
so now successfully running SJB 5.5 ^^
