Might be wrong Kernel flashed which is not compatible with the rom. Try flashing the boot.img from the custom rom which you downloaded. Seeing ur log it seems ur flashed the kernel which is inside the rom.zip so i guess might be build was not stable check with the changelogs.

You downloaded wrong rom from munjenis page. be sure that you download "cm11.0_pepper-ota-eng.root_Build.2.zip"
The "cm11.0_lotus_...zip" is for xperia Go.
But flash the rom for pepper(sola) and your phone should work

i too have the same problem
i downloaded the cm11.0_pepper-ota-eng.root_Build.9.zip file and flashed the boot.img file inside that in my xperia go,after that black screen appeared on reboot and then led changes its color and the phone vibrates and then stay there forever..
is cm11.0_pepper-ota-eng.root_Build.9.zip not for Xperia Go?

Press the power when it vibrates i think to enter CWM and flash the ROM as instructed.
You cannot boot stock with CWM kernel or vice versa.

Ok I'll try.meanwhile I flashed stock kernel.can you tell me the difference between cm11 pepper and cm11 lotus?

What phone you have?
Find FTF firmware for your phone, with the same version that you have now.
You can flash with flashtool, uncheck all wipes and exclude everything other then the kernel and flash in flashmode.
Or, you can extract kernel.sin from the FTF (it's a zp file) and flashe kernel.sin with fastboot like you have flashed boot.img

phone model sony xperia GO ST27i

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

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...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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

If you have unlocked the bootloader than simply flash a custom kernel..
Stock rom means the official ones developed by Sony while custom ones are the one that are developed by the guys at xda and various others developers.... The guide you referred to was mine, and it's for locked ones... You should simply flash a custom kernel which would give you root and recovery... Enjoy
Use the thank button, it's there for a reason

i found a guide from other SITE (if MOD don't want it can delete but it help me ) but is from Doomlord on XDA i post it to help
How to root SONY Xperia S LT26i with Official ICS Firmware
IMP: This is for unlocked bootloader only and only for Xperia S LT26i. I have not tested it on any other device.
Things you will need:
1. Nazomi Recovery Image – you can get it from here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1596285
2. Super User App – You can get it from here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
3. Kernel file of the firmware you are trying to root. For version 6.1.A.2.45 you can get it from here -> http://www.bhootnath.in/sxs/kernel.Stock6.1.A.2.45_IN_en.sin
4. Fastboot binaries and Fastboot usb drivers which can be downloaded from http://www.bhootnath.in/sxs/fastboot.zip and http://www.bhootnath.in/sxs/usb_driver.zip
5. Not required but good to have Android SDK. http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Prepping Up:
1. Follow the path Enter “Settings” and select “Applications” from where your will see a option “Development “just tick USB debugging there and USB debugging would be enabled on your mobile device.
2. Disable all and any Antivirus on the phone.
3. If you have download the Android SDK, install it.
4. Extract the Fastboot.zip to a folder on your computer.
5. Extract the USB drivers to a folder on your computer.
6. Connect your phone using the USB cable to your PC.
7. Copy the recovery image file “recovery-nozomi.img” and the kernel file “kernel.Stock6.1.A.2.45_IN_en.sin” to the folder on your PC where you have extracted the Fastboot binaries.
8. Copy the SU app zip file “CWM-SuperSU-v0.96.zip” to a folder on your phone (some folder on your SD Card).
Fire it up:
1. Lets reboot the device in Fastboot mode. There are two ways to do that
1.1. If you have Android SDK installed, browse to platform-tools directory and with SHIFT key do a RIGHT click of the mouse and then select “Open Command Prompt here”. In the command windows run
adb reboot bootloader
1.2. If you do not have Android SDK installed, power off device and with VOL UP button pressed, connect the phone using USB cable to the PC.
BLUE LED should come up.
2. Browse to the directory where you extracted fastboot binaries and with SHIFT key do a RIGHT click of the mouse and then select “Open Command Prompt here”. In the command windows first to check if we are connected in the right mode run
fastboot devices
3. You should see sometghing like
PSDNW925S3BFT&POI fastboot
4. This verfies that the devices is connected in the right mode. Now run
fastboot flash boot recovery-nozomi.img
5. It should show something like
sending 'boot' (5414 KB)...
(bootloader) USB download speed was 9847kB/s
OKAY [ 0.579s]
writing 'boot'...
(bootloader) Flash of partition 'boot' requested
(bootloader) S1 partID 0x00000003, block 0x00002000-0x0000bfff
(bootloader) Erase operation complete, 0 bad blocks encountered
(bootloader) Flashing...
(bootloader) Flash operation complete
OKAY [ 1.851s]
finished. total time: 2.432s
6. Wait till it shows “OKAY” and “finished”
7. So far so good, our recovery image has been flashed to the phone. Now time to reboot. In the same command windows, type in
fastboot reboot
8. Now the phone will boot into recovery mode and select the option “Install zip from SDCard”. Browse to the folder where you had copied the SU zip file (CWM-SuperSU-v0.96.zip), select it and install it.
9. Now select the “Reboot System” option and while it is booting press the VOL UP button to boot back into the fastboot mode. Now run
fastboot flash boot kernel.LT26i_6.1.A.2.45_IN_en.sin
10. Again you should see something like this
sending 'boot' (5590 KB)...
(bootloader) USB download speed was 9588kB/s
OKAY [ 0.612s]
writing 'boot'...
(bootloader) Flash of partition 'boot' requested
(bootloader) S1 partID 0x00000003, block 0x00002000-0x0000bfff
(bootloader) Erase operation complete, 0 bad blocks encountered
(bootloader) Flashing...
(bootloader) Flash operation complete
OKAY [ 2.976s]
finished. total time: 3.589s
11. Once you see “OKAY” and “finished” and cursor is back to the shell, run
fastboot reboot
All done:
The phone will reboot into normal mode and it is rooted now
Special thanks to this guide by Doomlord on XDA

[Q] Flashing Kernel problem SK17i

I'm having problem flashing a kernel on my SK17i device on my Windows 7 32 bit. When I flash kernel using fasboot mode in my device, it says (error phone not rooted) but my phone is already rooted. I have CWM and superuser in my phone which means it is rooted. But it keeps saying (error phone not rooted) in flashtool using fastboot mode. I also have installed the S1 fastboot driver so my phone can enter fasboot mode. It really gets me frustrated because I wanna install a custom ROM on my phone for the first time. can someone help me?

can u post the log from flashtool ?
are u trying to flash custom kernel?
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.

Please read the pinned posts for all information and instructions to unlock bootloader if you want (but remember it voids warranty) :good:

My phone has now unlocked bootloader. It's already rooted. I am now using a custom music player via CWM and using root permission apps.

It has already unlocked bootloader. I have a custom music player flashed in my phone via CWM and I have root permission apps in my phone so I'm pretty sure it has unlocked bootloader. My problem is that in flashtool when using fastboot mode and when I'm trying to flash custom kernel in my phone, it says (error: phone not rooted)

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.

I am currently on stock .136fw LB and unrooted.
Should I follow the below steps and upgrade to .136 rooted;
1.Flash .532 ftf
2.root .532
3.back up TA
4.Unlock Bootloader
5.Flash .136fw c6833 ftf (even though I have c6802) or do I need to first flash .290 ftf?
and then follow ur tutorial in this thread.
Please clear step 5 for me is it necessary to go to .290 first or can flash .136 ftf directly?

other than the fact they may want a backup of the TA for warranty or to have xreality at some stage, and to backup the TA they need root...
Is it possible just to hotboot from flashtool this 136.img and flash SuperSU
^^ you will only have partial root without ric disabled kernel (unless manually enabling sys r/w some other way after boot) (if you are asking whether you can just boot this instead of flashing it)

thanks, that worked. pretty much proves how much of a noob I am to xperia Z series unlocking and rooting.
p.s. the key to success was using flashtool in windows; for some reason flashtool on linux said the device was not unlockable! That was almost certainly a false negative, but also using fastboot on linux appearing to be successful was also failing. sigh.
