first try to flash your kernel to the stock kernel ics, ex: lupus stock ics then flash ics based rom or if you want to flash to stock rom, flash use fash tool and CHECK EXCLUDE KERNEL..
hopefully help :good:

is that all or there's something more to do with flashtools?
And I'm using win8.1 now. When i try to install driver, it gives me an error. is that ok? I can also open flashtools

To flash on windows 8.1 is hard. Not sure if you'll succeed. If I were you I'd better try another PC for flashing. I guess without installing the drivers your PC won't recognize the phone and then you are unable to flash the rom!

Like I already told you, I guess you won't be successful to flash it using windows 8.1. You find tons of threads here, where some guys report that problem and I guess there's no real fix until now. Try to flash it with another PC (ask a friend) or try booting an Ubuntu live cd and try flashing it using Ubuntu

Hi mihahn, I have a question and I thought you might know the answer.
At the moment I have Cyanogenmod 9.1 on my Smultron.
I would like to downgrade back to the stock android.
Cyanogenmod is great, but I still miss some features like MobileBRAVIA-engine and not being able to record videos and listen to FM radio.
Do you know how to do that?
Thanks

You need to use flashtool to root and unlock your bootloader.. once you archived that then you can install the ROM you want..
Flashtool can be downloaded from this link..

Hey XU guys!
I have an ST25i and I need a bit of help.
I am running an unknown ROM that I don't know how to fix. If any of you have...
-An Xperia U ST25i
-Rooted
-CWM installed
-Stock ROM and Kernel
Can you...
Go into CWM. Go into advanced. And do create firmware.zip and send it to me. I need it back to stock and PCC and Flashtool won't work.
Thanks!

Yes but I now know what from it was. Its called Infinity Smooth Custom System ROM, and as it says in the title, it was only a system ROM, which didn't require a new boot.img to be fastboot flashed.

I could do that but I was looking up if there is a way I could relock the bootloader and restore it with PCC?
Sent from my ST25i
I think you can re lock. Not too sure how it works tho. There are definitely guides around tho!
If you're keeping the phone for yourself tho I'd keep it unlocked and just flash cm9. It'll be far faster and smoother than stock
Sent from my Android 4.2.1 Xperia S
Couple of things.
First of all thanks for all of your help.
Secondly, I am keeping it for myself, but I'm a tad concerned about installing a custom ROM and Kernel.
I have heard of CyanogenMod and apparently they offer a near stock experience. But as Flashtool is not working for me, if I fastboot flash the boot.img then would that mean I could never revert back to stock?
Sent from my ST25i using xda app-developers app
Yea you can always revert back to stock. But I promise you'll never want too. Lol. If you already have cwm then all you need to do is download the cm9 zip and flash in recovery (following instructions in the thread as to what to wipe)
As for flashtool, have you installed all the drivers from the drivers file?

Anyone pls help me... I'm using xperia mini pro SK17i. During installing cutom Rom I wiped all the datas. After i tried to install android 4.1.2. But it stopps by saying operation unsuccessful.

If U did try to install JB then U should have unlock Your bootloader. That means You have recovery which is build in kernel, so just copy any other JB ROM and install it. If You did not unlock BL then try flashtool and install ICS, cause JB won't run on stock kernel.
Can you help me with step by step instruction with links... Plz...
there are a lot more information that u should give us in the first place.
like: which rom u want to flash?
bootlodder unlocked?
ur base os?

Tbh, i'm new at xperia u. I've had it for the longest time without rooting/unlocking. 4.4 works for me. Sure, i experience bluetooth and video recording issues, but it works for my purposes (stable and fast rom. ART shows noticeable improvements, performance-wise). I'm not saying it's the best choice, just something to get you started.
I think its better to install this. Its better than ICS and bugless.
Or You can install Cyanogenmod 10, if you dont need xperia stuff=) This one is bugless too.
Install any of the Stock JB Rom... Stock JB is surely twice better than Stock ICS and its totally bugless
Note: Unlocked bootloader is required
