Hey guys, I can't seem to flash a kernel via fastboot.
Here's my info
Phone : Xperia Mini Pro
Root : Rooted
Bootloader : Unlocked
Android Version : 2.3.4 (but have tried with 4.0.4 too)
USB debugging on
MSC mode activated
Unknown souces : checked
LOG :

finished. total time: 0.000s
I'm trying to install CM9, I extracted boot.img
fastboot detects device but fails when trying to flash
Any ideas please?
(if you need more info, more than welcome)
Try to redownload the kernel,Maybe that will work Or try to use Flashtool to flash the kernel

Did you unlock your bootloader via sony or via testpoint method?
Have you checked *#*#7378423#*#* and then Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, it's another problem...
To all the ppl who replied before - Did you even read the log?

"Unrecognized command"
You need to use the following command:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
or
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0fce flash boot boot.img

But normally it should have worked, cause with flashtool it should work. Doesn't flashtool do same command like
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
?

I believe it is a problem with your controller manager kernel. This can occur because of a problem with the remote connections with the driver files. Try flashing your ROM STOCK then do root and then try to apply the kernel
Sorry guys I've been away for a while so I've kinda had to put this on the back burner. but I'm back now
@daydu19
I've tried both methods, Flashtool and through Command Prompt using
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
&
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0fce flash boot boot.img
but no joy
EDIT: I can't unlock my phone with testpoint because of the new securities, my phone is "12W27" :/
@mihahn
I'm not quite sure how I unlocked it I tried several ways, testpoint & sony, the weird thing is that I didn't think that either of them worked but I'm able to flash FTF files with flashtool and also Flashtool says that my bootloader is already unlocked...
Code:
Loader : S1_Loader_Root_773f - Version : R4A066 / Bootloader status : ROOTED
And lastly
Have you checked *#*#7378423#*#* and then Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, it's another problem...

It says that it is allowed
@xdevilium
Thanks, I'll try this out and let you know if that helps
EDIT: Nope, doesn't work either
@eltonpestana
I've flashed my device multiple times back to stock to 2.3.4 and 4.0.4, they're FTF files that I found on here but that was the only way I managed to get my phone to work again, When I tried flashing the kernels through fastboot, it came up the errors I mentioned and by so Bricked my phone...
The one thing I haven't tried yet is to use Sony PC companion to "reset" my phone (mainly due to my painfully slow internet connection) but I'm not sure that will do much good seeing as it will restore it to 4.0.4 making it impossible to root and I'll end up having to flash the other FTF again.. no?
is it possible to download a custom kernel as a FTF file and then flash it rather than going through fastboot?
because I can flash the stock kernels (that are in the FTF files) that I got
Worst case scenario are there any good ICS ROMS that will work with the stock kernel?
Try flashing stock ftf and then it should get work done.

I wonder can anyone help me with this? I recently unlocked my bootloader (with wotanserver.com - test point method) and have since been trying out new kernels.
Unfortunately, I've had some problems with Sirkay's Advanced Stock .587 Kernel when I flash it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544513
I followed his flashing with flashtool instructions (standard procedure). My phone appears to boot up as normal at first, (the kernel's preinstalled CWM recovery works too) but after the initial boot logo & brightening screen that indicates CWM is present - the screen then just goes black with white LED on (with screen backlight v. slightly on) and nothing else happens, i.e. the phone is well and truly stuck.
The end result is that I have to flash back to the kernel I was previously using. There's nothing in the Flashtool log to suggest any problem with the flashing either, and there's been no problem flashing any .img or .sin files until now - so I assume I have all the correct drivers etc.
Am I overlooking something obvious here? Would be very glad to someone's opinion, this is driving me nuts!
Device: ST18i (unlocked bootloader)
ROM version: Iced Bean 2.1 [.587] - Can be used with any kernel (according to the author)
Baseband version: .77
Hi,
I have an unlocked Atrix, and I have successfully performed the following:
1. Rooted the device using SuperOneClick v.2.3.3
2. Installed ROM Manager and installed CWM Recovery
However, I am unable to get into CWM Recovery. I get the following errors, when I try to boot to recovery using the ROM manager:
Code:
Failed to boot 2
Starting RSD mode
I have also attempted to installed the recovery using fastboot method, but also failed to do so. Here are the error messages:
Code:
C:\TEMP\AtrixRecovery>fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.8-olympus.img
sending 'recovery' (3992 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.233s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: (00180002))
finished. total time: 0.297s
I have also lost the Android Recovery as I am unable to have the device respond to me after I tap the bottom right corner after going to Android Recovery. So I cannot perform a hard reset too.
Any advise to help me move along? I would like to install a custom ROM, and if that is not possible I would like to at least return to the stock ROM.
Thanks!
How is rooting relevant?
It seems you forgot to unlock the BL.

May be I misunderstood.
Help me understand, I searched for what is the difference between locked and unlocked. My understanding is as long as I can use SIM card from different carrier, I have an unlocked phone, and unlocking is not necessary. Is this wrong?
Assuming I am wrong can you advise how to unlock the BL?
Thanks.
You are very wrong. Rooting has nothing to do with BL unlock, just as BL unlock has nothing to do with SIM unlock.
Please follow the unlock/flash procedures PRECISELY.
I have xperia s (st25a) phone with android 4.0.4.
I already have rooted it (SU installed) and bootloader unlocked. Fastboot reports the correct version "5".
However, when I try to install TWRP, it gives the following error:
>fastboot.exe flash boot stock-6.1.A.0.452-twrp-2.4.0.0.elf
sending 'boot' (8124 KB)...
FAILED (remote: The Device must be rooted first)
Why does TWRP think it's not rooted? I have setup SU to grant every root request too!
Another issue - when I try to enter recovery with stock image, my phone gets stuck on boot with Sony logo and I have to remove battery to shut it down. Any ideas why wouldn't stock recovery work?
Thanks much for your help!
Help!
Any one has any ideas to try?

Hi,
I've got an Xperia Z2 tablet (SGP511) and am attempting to install Cyanogenmod 12.1 on it. Unfortunately no matter what I try I can't get there following the instructions on the Cyanogenmod website.
When I try to unlock the bootloader using Flashtool (which I thought was already unlocked as i've previously had CM installed but went back to stock) I get the response: FAILED (remote: Command did not succeed).
When I try to unlock the bootloader using Terminal, I get FAILED (remote: Device is already rooted).
So then, assuming the device is already rooted, I try flashing the boot.img file in the steps on the site, and I get sending 'boot' (14160 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.447s]
writing 'boot'...
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed).
So i'm completely lost. I'd really like some help on this and hope someone can give me their time.
Thanks!
