Dear all,
I would like to backup the kernel currently installed on this Neo V. I don't see such an option in Flashtool, therefore I'm asking for you help!
The scenario is quite simple: I'm running a stock ICS with root and custom kernel, and I would like to backup everything (kernel + clockworkmod backup), install "Super Jelly Bean rom", and -just in case- be able to roll back to the current system.
Thanks in advance!

U cant backup and restore a kernel..
its not ROM to do like that..
the only way to change kernel is through flashtool and some kernel flashers via computer..

Is it possible to export it like a .img file? Like any custom kernel you can flash..

There is no use even if u export it to .img.. Because it will the same kernel that you have flashed..
seee.. u cant flash a kernel through Neo V.. it needs a pc/laptop to do that..
but in many of samsung galaxy series phones u can flash kernel.through phone and no need of pc for that.. but that privilege is not there for our xperia devices..
hope you got it now.

Anyway, I don't have any problem in using a PC to backup the kernel. And use it to restore it, too.

While you use a ROM no changes are made in kernel. All changes you do is in your system. So no need to backup a kernel as it will be the same. As much as you recovery is concerned, it is included in the ramdisk of a kernel so re flashing the kernel will have recovery. But just in case you did some changes to kernel, just unpack the ramdisk and edit it accordingly, repack and done! You'll have the required kernel. Flash it anytime you want
Cheers,

Hi.
I don't have Xperia Sola, but if you have access to your CWM it's a good ting if you before flash anything you made a backup of your phone using CWM.
Maybe you haven't made any backup of your phone, than you can try to download some custom rom's from this forum for Xperia Sola, if not you can try to find a stock rom for your phone. I'm sure it has been posted lot of Xperia Sola stock rom here, and you flash it by using flashtool.
Maybe you will found something here:

I know what kernel is, but my USB port is broken.
u can flash kernel through the flashtool (most kernels are in .ftf file)
u need to be in flashmode to flash the kernel..
but if u want to flash it through the xrec or CWM there are some kernel in .ZIP file like the doomkernel..

Without a usb port, all you can do is to restore to your previous backup ( if you have backed up).

Sir, when flashtool says the device is not rooted it means bootloader isn't unlocked... for now flash stock ftf using flashmode in flashtool and then make sure the bootloader is unlocked then only install jb with PROPER INSTRUCTIONS Best of luck
