I tried to flash CM10 (latest nightly on the CM-page) to my Xperia Ray - it doesn't work. I narrowed the problem down to a kernel flashing-issue:
- Bootloader is unlocked (also tried re-locking and unlocking again)
- Whenever I flash a custom kernel, the phone is not booting anymore. Just short vibration and flashing of status LED, then it freezes without showing anything (display is not lighting up).
- Tried flashing using flashtool and fastboot via cmd-prompt
- When I hotboot into custom kernels, it works (FXP included with CM-builds, and others like LuPus, FlyKernel tested)
- NONE of the custom kernels worked
Flashtool displays the following message when flashing:

I can get a booting phone again only by flashing a stock-firmware again.
Any ideas what I can do to make the custom kernels work when flashed?
Is it possible to use a stock kernel with CM? Tried the stock firmware ICS-kernel with CM9 and got a bootloop.

Are u serious?... You are flashing System partition image over Boot partition... Flashtool cant flash system img files.. it only flashes boot img...
Use ADB fastboot to flash system.img and userdata.img... google to know moew..
I've done it and now I have:
C:\Users\Soulee>fastboot flash boot boot.img
error: cannot load 'boot.img'
ok, I have gone back to GB. to recheck my steps in my first post,
and guess what? Everything works as it should if you follow the above steps

First, thanks for the help.
I installed the kernel, entercwm recovery and install the rom as a zip, now never leaves the screen that appears Cyanogen (mod) 9, it's been 20 minutes.
Is it normal or something wrong may have happened?

Follow a clean install and it worked.
Hi
I have Neo V and I have a little problem with installing kernel (and ROM).
My device is rooted, has unlocked bootloader and installed X-Parts (CWM).
I can get to CWM menu after reboot and it's working (I made a backup). But... when I try to change kernel (from stocks 4.0.2.A.0.62 and 4.1.B.0.587) there always is the same problem:
the device stucks on black screen (no logo appears) after flashing kernel - nothing happens and I even can't get into CWM menu.
Flashing kernel looks OK:

- [ROM][CM11][NeoV][UB] Xperia UltraKat v2.1.1 | Released | KK 4.4.2 | 11/4/2014 | [Updated] flashed Kernel2.0 [haida].img
All I can do is connect via fastboot (hold back button and put USB which is already connected to PC) and then flash stock FTF via Flashtool.
What am I doing wrong during flashing kernel?

From your log you seem to have a faulty device... There shouldn't be any bad blocks encountered during kernel flash...
Afaik there is no way to fix it as well...you will be stuck with stock and stock based roms

If you want to use jellybean for your phone, then try flashing Super Fusion or Fusion kernal on your phone with any Jellybean custom rom whichever you like.
