2 days ago I've tried to flash a ROM on my Live WT19i: i've unlocked the bootloader, rooted the phone, installed CWM recovery and then flashed the RC3 Android 4.0 ROM. I haven't flashed the custom kernel suggested in the thread of the rom, so now my phone is stuck at SE logo every time I switch it on.
As i've read in another thread, i've downloaded flashtool and tried to flash the kernel on, but it says that "the phone is not rooted".
So i've tried to flash the original firmware (.58, i have never upgrade it up to .62) and then i'm going to re-flash the ROM(this time being more careful to follow all the steps), but when I try to flash the firmware on, Flashtools says that "the drivers are not installed, you can find them in the drivers folder of flashtool". Over there ther's only an EXE file, but the situation isn't changed.
Now: Where can I download this drivers? But expecially,what I have to do to make my phone came on again?
THANKS TO EVERYONE IS GOING TO ANSWERING ME
(In other threads I have found something similar, but not really useful for my problem, so please don't tell me that there is always a thread for this, thanks)
try this the tool posted at this thread.
this thread also has a download link for all the drivers you will need.
have used this myself for unlocking bootloader and flashing kernels.
after you flash the kernel for the ICS rom,
boot to cwm, then install ICS rom again.
dont forget to wipe data and clear cache and dalvik before installing new rom.

The problem is that flashtool (and even this tool you have suggest to me) says "FAILED (remote: The Device must be rooted first)" when I try to install the kernel on. Is for that reason that i've thinked to flash the original firmware on and then re-root the phone!
What do you think about this? Thanks.

According to me, kernel installation requires only unlocked bootloader and having phone in fastboot mode. Root is not needed, because kernel doesn't use ROM files at all.
Hi,
i have a xperia Live wt19i. I followed this istruction http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695514 to root the phone.
Then I installed CWM with the application X-part in the market.
Everything went ok so far.
So in the CWM i flashed the Real ICS Lite zip but when the phone rebooted i got a bootloop on the Sony logo.
I can't get to the recovery and FlashTool reports error when i try to flash stock roms.
Can someone help me?
i laughed a little.im soo jelaous at the LWW users.anyways,try again with flashtool.you got the error maybe cuz you dont have the drivers.

Did you install it with the given instruction on the post to the letter, and did you install Facebook in aroma installer when doing it? i know that causes the bootloop, anyway reroot your current ics firmware, then try again.

I didn't flash any kernel because it wasn't asked in the installation instructions. I thought it was included in the zip file.
i tried ir again and i got another bootload
You must see instructions, if there is a kernel/boot.img to flash, you have to flash it. But that only works if your bootloader is unlocked. Maybe try another rom than realics
It happened the same to me ... The problem Is with kernel.. You should flash recommended kernel for the given Rom ... Bootloop will be the thing of past ...
Sent from my WT19i using xda app-developers app
Real ICS does supports locked bootloader, just make sure that in aroma installer u selec the the lock bl option and the right phone model and it should work. u can also try unlocking your bl and flash to custom kernel
You have to flash correct kernel attach to the ROM
Can someone suggest me a kernel and an ics (or jellybean if exists) rom to flash on my xperia mini? I have now ics stock and my bootloader is unlocked. Also i want a guide to help me flash the rom and kernel.
(And also i have a question. Do i need a different custom kernel for every custom rom?)

If you want jelly bean, there's Cyanogenmod 10 by FXP, JellyVanilla and Cyanogenmod 10 by expeacer.
The easiest way to flash a kernel is via flashtool. Just download flashtool and install it. Go to the installation folder and install the drivers. For unlocking bootloader, fastboot should work for you and sdk tools should be installed.
Download the rom you want and the recommend kernel , place the installation zip file on your sd card and go back to flashtool.
In flashtool you click on the flash and select fastboot mode. You turn off your device and hold down the volume up key while connecting to pc. The blue led will light up. Then you select the boot.img you downloaded first. It should be named boot.img, otherwise rename it. Just select it and flashtool will automaticly flash it.
CHECK THE LOG BEFORE YOU PLUG OFF DEVICE!! If there are no errors, just restart device and press volume down again and again. Then you are in cwm. Look in the tutorial how to install the rom what has to be formatted/wiped (like cache or data, etc) and do it like it's explained there. Then select install zip from sd card -> choose zip and install it.
Just reboot and enjoy
After seeing the links of jellybean roms i changed my mind. They have much problems! So could you suggest me an ICS rom?

Expeacer's exmiui.
In this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1694027 link it says that it has auto root. This means tha if I flash this kernel then i can flash the ExMIUIv4 2.8.10 rom without rooting?
Miui rom already rooted by default. Such autoroot kernel will give problem with miui rom, u'll get superuser from the kernel and lbe guard from miui at the same time.
I've fixed such bugs in my kernel, try it if u want.

Ok, can you send me a link of your kernel?
So,
1) I flash your kernel using flashtool
2) I download CMW (when i have your kernel and the stock ics)
3) I flash the custom rom
This is all i have to do?
Look in dev subforum, my kernel thread is there.
Anyway:
1- flash kernel. Obviously your bootloader need to be unlock to do this.
2- cwm recovery already in kernel, dont need separate download/install for it. Just boot into cwm after u flashed kernel.
3- do factory reset from cwm, then do wipe dalvik cache.
4- flash rom.
5- reboot into rom.
6- profit

You don't need to download cwm, it's included in the kernel! Just flash kernel and reboot, while rebooting press volume down again and again!

everything is explained there. After unlocking your BL, flash a custom kernel RAGE KERNEL is my favorite as of now. If it gets into bootloop, meaning, your phone enters the boot animation but cannot get into the home screen, just make a full wipe in CWM. Then reebot. Works 100% with me!

You can unlock your bootloader officially,but you will lose your "DRM" . As a result, "track ID" and some features of "Facebook inside xperia" will never work again.Unlocking bootloader via "test point method" is somewhat hard.But it is the best way.That is how I've unlocked mine..!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1730874
My friend followed the steps given in the following link to install CM-9 on his phone.
Cyanogenmod 9 on Xperia S
Once he did a data wipe, he rebooted the phone and left it for a couple of minutes. It remained stuck at the bootloader for around 15 minutes. He then proceeded to try to try the whole thing again. While the fastboot flashing was successful, while trying to install the cm9-nozomi zip file, he got the following error:
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device")=="LT26i"||getprop("ro.build.product")=="LT26i"||(getprop("ro.product.device")=="LT26a"||getprop("ro.build.product")=="LT26a"||getprop("ro.product.device")=="nozomi"||getprop("ro.build.product")=="nozomi"
Status 7
He's also tried mounting the system partition via mounts and storages and it shows mount failed. The same is the result for data, cache, etc.
He's now stuck at boot, but is able to access fastboot and recovery mode. The problem is that clockworkmod doesn't support USB OTG Mount and that even if I can modify the update script to not check for the script, I have no way of sending it into the phone.
Any suggestions, solutions or the like would be highly appreciated
I posted a question in your other post. Have you unlocked your bootloader?
Sorry about that.
Yes.
That was the first thing I made was done.

Try flashing back to stock to minimize the issues. Then flash via fastboot a rooted Kernel. Enter into CWM wipe Dalvik Cache first, then flash CM9. If bootloop still occurs try flashing Krab's kernel for CM9 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1808831. By the way what Kernel are you using?

How would I flash back to stock if I'm unable to access the sd-card?

Ok so no need to flash back to stock, as you've mentioned you're on stock right now. You can flash via fastboot Advanced Stock Kernel by Arakmar or any Kernel that has CWM. Then you wipe Dalvik Cache and now you can install CM9. I stated on my earlier post that you can try flashing Krab's kernel for CM9 http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1808831.

I was willing to try out CM 9.1 ROM I unlocked the bootloader as per steps everything went well. When I reboot it shows FXP logo and then it is stuck at Xperia logo. Since its battery is not removable I have to wait until it all drains out and charge again and get it into working mode. I could go into recovery and flash CM 9.1 but even from there when I reboot it now stuck up at CM logo same as Stock Xperia logo.
I have emma, flashtool and SUS but I cannot get my phone into flashboot or flashmode as nothing happens with volume key combination. When I connect using USB cable it shows RED LED light and once charged up I can get it into recovery mode...
I gave phone to sony repair somehow they are able to get into flashmode... however they say they might not be able to repair it as using Emma it doesn't flash stock ROM.
I am quite sure sony is going to return me handset without repair, any help would really save my brand new Xperia S from going into vain, Thanks a lot in advance!!!

Not enough details.
It's probably the version of recovery you're using.
Which version of TWRP and what errors are you receiving?

Im using twrp 3.0.2.1 and everytime i try to install a rom it stuck at samsung screen.
And it show md5 not found.
What roms have you tried? What firmware were you on before you started flashing? Sometimes newer roms need the newest firmware like the bootloader and modem to run correctly. Are you wiping system, data, and both caches? If you are going from a Touchwiz rom to, say, a CM based, it might also be necessary to wipe the internal storage. Of course you should back all that up to a PC first, if you do that.

How can install kernel after. Everytime i install it reboots its self to samsung screen. Or should go back to recovery and install the kernel back. And thank you for your help till now.
That's definitely why it's not booting, if you didn't do the kernel. If the rom has the Aroma installer, typically the last question asks if you want to reboot now and has a check mark in by default. Just uncheck and it'll go back to recovery. But you can also just go back and flash now and should be good.

Thank you for your help.
I did the change on bootloader and modem.
Now im i need to know two more thing.
I download 2 dffernt kind of bootloader n modem.
I flash blxxxxxbpb1 and cpxxxxxboj1..this 2 files were tar.md5 files
Another one which i didnt flash. Blxxxxxxbpb1 and cpxxxxxxxbpb2..this 2 files are tar.tar files..
Can i know whats the different with this 2 files.
One more thing is when i chnge the bootloader and modem will the kernel changes. Or is it different.
Please guide me..im confuse.
Someone might have just mislabeled them. Flashing those will not affect kernel. Different partition of the phone.
Hi

This is the recommended kernel
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24572369242687310
Recommended recovery is TWRP 2.8.7.0 not the newer 3.0+
Flash other recovery. Boot to TWRP. Wipe system, data, cache, dalvik. Flash rom. Wipe caches. Flash kernel. Reboot. Should work according to lots of people on the thread for that rom.
Hi.
How flash kernel.
just flash the tar.md5 file or the tar.zip file
