Hello everybody on XDA,
I am new to flashing custom ROM's and I decided that I want Kitkat on my Xperia P.
Currently I have stock JB rooted with a Locked Bootloader.
I know I need to take the following steps:
Unlock my bootloader
Flashing/Fastboot the Kernel
Flash the rom with CWM
Flash the Gapps with CWM
Everything is clear to me how I should do it, except for fastbooting a Kernel.
I have looked on different threads with different kernels and they all seem like the have a different method of flashing/fastbooting it on my device.
So my questions are how do you flash/fastboot the CM 11 Kitkat Kernel by Percy_g2 for Xperia P?
There is a Newbies thread on installing Kitkat for Xperia U. Is the process the same for Xperia P?
Do I need to install CWM before I flash the Kernel or does it come with that Kernel?
Anything else I should know before attempting to install Kitkat (Tips or any important information I may have missed)

People any ideas? Am I missing a step?
Hi
What for roms are you trying to install? Even you have to flash the kernel via flashtool, when you use none stock based roms!
Devices in use:
Xperia ZL eXistenZ Ultra 4.0
Xperia SP eXistenZ Ultra 2.0
Xperia Tablet Z => Stock deodext 4.3 (waiting for eXistenZ)
I wish to upgrade my stock GB ROM to Kitkat ..i have a xperia u st25i
i have unlocked the bootloader
flashed a kernel with root priveleges but has no clockwork mod integrated with it ...
now i am having a hard time in proceeding ahead , should i just flash a custom rom ? or go and flash a CWM ? what am i suppose to do
I need stock kernel image for 5.1.1 sony xperia z2 latest update .546.

Use flashtool with the rom you want
Before flashing excludes everything but kernel
Hi guys this is my first post here on xda
I have Xperia Z1 running stock Android 5.1.1
And i want to flash a rom (Cyanogenmod to be precise)
So my question is do i need to root my device first??(if so, please guide me through the process).
or the Cyanogenmod is rooted in the first place??
Also is there any software on pc that backs up my whole internal storage ?
Do i need to backup my sdcard or will be intact?
And finally: I've heard that flashing a custom rom on xperia devices removes the
X-Reality engine from the device, is it true??
