You mean with fastboot mode? Root is not enough, bootloader must be unlocked.

Open flashtool, enter fastboot, look for the .iso file, and flash it.
If it doesn't work, you should try to do it with adb.

Great, so you can flash custom kernels.
Try to flash with the method at the right side (three buttons) in the kernel flashing screen in flashtool.

guide: how to have unlocked fastboot without flashing

I recently discovered this, and I thought it would be of some benefit to those who are wanting to unlock, modify partitions, etc without the need to flash derpunlock.sbf or modify your photon in any way. What you need to do this:
1) fastboot for Windows or Linux
2) unlocked RDL3 (ramloader) which I am providing
The process is very simple, reboot your Motorola Photon, and hold the volume down button and power button. You will see "fastboot" on the screen, now press volume up. Connect your phone to your computer, and issue the following command which I discovered:
[email protected]:~$ fastboot flash rdl.bin RDL3_unlocked.smg
sending 'rdl.bin' (3072 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.193s]
writing 'rdl.bin'...
OKAY [ 0.000s]
finished. total time: 0.193s
This will load the unlocked ramloader (unlocked will be displayed at the top even if your phone is locked) which is normally only loaded into ram when flashing an SBF! Amazing, I know. Now you can do all kinds of stuff and you've made no modifications, just issue a "fastboot reboot" and nothing has been modified. Now you are able to erase boot, recovery, oem unlock, etc. Here is an example after you have executed the above. This is just me restoring my default boot and recovery partitions which you can't do from your locked bootloader:
[email protected]:~$ fastboot erase recovery
erasing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.739s]
finished. total time: 0.739s
[email protected]:~/Desktop/SMG$ fastboot flash recovery CG58_0x00000120.smg sending 'recovery' (8192 KB)...
OKAY [ 8.760s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 1.013s]
finished. total time: 9.773s
[email protected]:~/Desktop/SMG$ fastboot erase boot
erasing 'boot'...
OKAY [ 0.761s]

You can actually unlock the radio with the stock locked bootloader still in place (derpunlock.sbf flashing no longer needed):

The process of loading the unlocked ramloader is the same regardless of your firmware, even if the bootloader is 'locked'. The ramloader is just that, its written to ram, and so when the phone is reset the code is cleared out of memory. This means to unlock your radio, you don't have to flash anything to your ram, flashing rdl.bin basically just loads the ramloader to executable memory, then jumps to it. I'm still working on figuring out how to use this to chain load a custom recovery.
Love this! Keep up the good work!
So can I flash CWM after this kind of unlock the bootloader and then custom rom.

I like what I m reading. Sounds like this would be the saving grace for those photon users stuck on an electrify rom (and yeah I m one of them!). Please let us know when you get to rewrite system with a custom rom with this method!

Not yet, you can flash it but it is not yet bootable since I haven't figured out yet how to jump to recovery from the ramloader (you'll probably get an error 2 if you flash CWM then boot to recovery). After you reset your phone, rdl.bin gets cleared out so the same protection mechanisms are still in the bootloader. It's something I'm working on.

I already can. just do the following:
fastboot flash rdl.bin RDL3_unlocked.smg
fastboot erase system
fastboot flash system your_system_file.smg
fastboot erase boot
fastboot flash boot your_boot.smg
fastboot reboot
EDIT: file extension doesn't really matter, can be smg or img
Theres also updating from fastboot using a zip file, I'm not 100% sure if this works the same as in recovery:
update <filename> reflash device from update.zip

I'm pretty sure the reason you're receiving this error is because this RDL is from derpunlock.sbf from photon_pudding.rar. I'll post the unlocked pudding electrify ramloader.
Attached is the unlocked pudding electrify ramloader, run:
fastboot flash rdl.bin RDL3_unlocked_electrify.smg

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

I've tried both methods, Flashtool and through Command Prompt using

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...

Thanks, I'll try this out and let you know if that helps

@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)

my guess is u doesn't unlock bootloader yet.
dont bother to reinstall driver even a thousand time, it aint gonna happen with locked bootloader.
Your phone is not rooted means you phone's bootloader is still locked! So stop trying to flash custom kernels and unlock the bootloader first. You need a unlocked bootloader to flash custom kernels.

Anyone know why my recovery doesn't work ?
Have you tried another another links for recovery? or the one from hansoons kit?
you could have just bad luck and flash buggy one
btw your question is wrong, from what you said, recovery was flashed in ok way, so there must be something wrong with recovery you flashed

Your recovery is flashed fine.
But why do you need to go to fastboot and recovery again when your aim is getting the JB update ?
Thank you for this quick answer !

I thought I had to go back to stock recovery for the update of Jelly Bean I'm wrong?
Am I also wrong about the fact that we can apply the update without relock the bootloader?

1. Must have stock recovery installed
2. Must have a complete stock ROM (nothing is deleted)
3. Not necessary to flash a stock boot.img but it is advisable to have one
4. Not necessary to relock bootloader
5. If no.4 still brings problem then relock the bootloader but you will lose all data when unlocking again.

4,5 --> OK not necessary

Is the recovery of my phone bricked ?
Ok guys I found the solution ( after 4hours of research ! ) flashing my phone with this RUU : RUU_PROTO_U_ICS_40A_HTC_Europe_1.18.401.1_Radio_10.21.40.06U_1.10.40.23_release_295191_signed.exe
Unfortunately (grr) I was not able to use the RUU normally (maybe because my recovery was buggy, I had a signature error) and I follow theses steps to install it :
1) fastboot erase cache
2) fastboot oem rebootRUU
3) fastboot flash zip rom.zip --> the rom.zip was extracted from the RUU.exe
4) fastboot reboot-bootloader
5) fastboot reboot
After that I could make two consecutive updates ( 1.18.401.3 and Jelly Bean update )
I hope it can help others who have the same problem :good:

Android version ?
Firmware version ?
 @AndroPlus kernel version?(make sure you downloaded the correct version for you tablet model: SGP 771 for the LTE)
Windows version
In command prompt Type fastboot Devices, if there is no number the windows driver not correctly installed
After unlocking the bootloader did you make a reboot ? (If so you should not enable MyXperia)
you better follow the advice on Androplus' website
There are different kernels for SONYs ROMs.
You should first update to the latest SONY ROM.
Then flash a recovery (also from Androplus) and then the latest kernel (aka boot.img, easier from recovery).
You also need to flash SuperSU - follow the instructions on Androplus' website.
