Can someone of you senior members describe me how to flash custom kernel via Flashtool 0.6.5.
I try to put kernel .ftf file in Flashtool/devices/x10/kernel but Flashtool can't see it. Just see another kernel, which is there by default (modfxp.doomkernel.v.0.6 for locked bootloader). Then I try to put in firmwares folder, and when I pressed flash (lightning) button small window appear with my kernel file, and some other file (bootlock or something like that). I pick my kernel and Flashtool start to flash something. After I was told to disconnect, press back, and connect again usb (flashmode), phone start to boot with new bootimage (DoomLord one), and then turn off, and battery showed like on charging. I wait a little bit, disconnect from usb, and try to turn on phone, but phone stuck with doomkernel image.
I flashed back to stock with SEUS, root, and unlock bootloader again.
Can someone tell me what went wrong, and how to flash custome kernel???

I already read this tutorial. This is How to flash firmare. I need to flash just kernel. I wrote above that I try this method, and my phone stuck with Doomkernel boot image. Do I have to uncheck box "Wipe User Data" and check "Exclude System" instead????
UPDATE: Sorry, you are right...

Sorry I have xperia U
u flashed Xperia P kernel on Xperia U .. find ur device's kernel and try to flash it..
Just flash FTF (kernel only, well if you want, you can flash whole ftf) via Flashtool. Be sure it's for Xperia U and not anything else. This is just for wrong device, nothing harmful.
Root the M4 Aqua E2303 Locked Bootloader/Install TWRP on 2.167/3.92
Before we begin:
Make sure you have the following:
•A Windows PC
•Flashtool (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_d8uWGbkaetTnhWX0J5UG5hN28/view?pref=2&pli=1)
•The .128 firmware (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzVQf67OZ9NtMFotOXRycTZoSlk/view?pli=1)
•Patience
•A good internet connection
•15 to 20 minutes
• The M4 Aqua Root Toolkit (https://www.dropbox.com/s/edse0h6b02odzn1/rootkitXperia_E23xx.zip?dl=0)
•ADB Drivers (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0MKgCbUM0itNVB1elljU2NPR0k/view?pref=2&pli=1)
•TWRP Toolkit (https://www.dropbox.com/s/yomdwq3p2le9hvi/M4Aqua-lockedTWRP-0.1-installer.zip?dl=0)
How are we going to do it:
The procedure is pretty straight forward, as the M4 Aqua is only on Android™ 5.0 we can take the kernel of the older versions of firmwares so we could root the device, while keeping the firmware version to the newest release (2.167/3.92). The method has been only tried on the E2303, there may be chances of it working for the E2306.
Let's begin! Part 1, Changing the Kernel:
First, we need to install the latest Flashtool version (link above), after you proceed with the installation of Flashtool, you need to install the Flashtool drivers, which can be found in C:/Flashtool/drivers or the path you selected flashtool to be installed. Once you open Flashtool drivers you want to select FLASHMODE DRIVERS, this is only so that the M4 will be recognised while in flashmode. After the drivers have been installed, you want to move the downloaded .128 firmware to C:/Users/*YourName*/.flashtool/firmwares or you can use the other method I will show later. Once you have done that you want to open Flashtool and wait for the Sync to finish. After that has finished, you will see a lighting icon in the top-left corner, you want to press the icon and select flashmode, now the second method, at the top you will see a path leading to the generic .tft folder in which Flashtool belives the .ftf files are located by default. You can change that by pressing the button on the right and lead the program to the path of the .128 ftf file. After you have selected your .tft file you will see on the right a lot of options *everything that the .ftf file contains*, if you want to keep the data on your device you can tick the first two options, a bit down on the right you will see a lot of options, including system.bin, you want to tick everything EXCEPT for the kernel.sin, this is the most crucial part. After that is done you want to let the program prepare the files, mean while you want to power off your M4 Aqua, after the process on Flashtool is done you want to press the VOLUME DOWN button while connecting the phone to the PC, once you see the green led light you can leave the button, if everything was done right the process of flashing should begin. If everything went well the kernel should be flashed and the phone should safely power on. Now we can proceed to the second part. Rooting the phone.
2ND METHOD
You can downgrade to .128 firmware and download the .167 or .92 firmware and update everything except for the kernel. You can do this by going into Flashtool, and doing the steps above but TICKING the kernel.sin. Try this if the first method doesn't work.
Part 2, Rooting the phone:
Now that we have changed the kernel we can use the root toolkit to root the device. Download the root toolkit from the link above, but before you do anything you want to go to Settings>About Phone, scroll down to Build number and press it 7 times, after that is done you want to go back to Developer options, and you want to tick USB Debugging, after you have done that you need to install the ADB Drivers from the link above, after that is done you can connect the phone to the computer, now you want to extract the toolkit and run install.bat *No administrator rights needed*, and then you should see a screen on your phone asking if you want to trust the computer, you want to tick the box saying always and you want to press yes, now the rooting process should begin and your phone to be rooted. After this is done we can proceed to the part 3, installing TWRP
Part 3,Installing TWRP:
Now, that we have root we can install TWRP using another toolkit. This part is optional but if you want any custom ROM's you need this. This part is the easiest, you need to download the toolkit from the link above and just run the script. We don't need any additional steps as we did them in Part 2.
If everything went well you should now be rooted and have TWRP with a locked bootloader and on the newest firmware.
In case of bricking you can use the Sony PC Companion tool and repair my phone/ tablet option. YOU WILL LOSE ANY DATA SAVED ON YOUR PHONE.
sir , can this apply to D2353?
I have only tried on E2303, but you use the right .ftf files the procedure should work

Root and flash stock kernel tft u use
I'm having issues with this also. Downgrading the kernel only causes a boot loop animation. I can downgrade everything to 128 and it works. Going back up to latest with everything BUT kernel causes boot animation loops also.
EDIT!
Oh heck yes, I did it! For anyone stuck in a logo boot loop despite following the above, here is how I did it:
- Use Flashtool to completely flash my .167 E2303 to .128.
- Use above tools to root and install TWRP.
- Use Flashtool again, but this time in Fastboot mode. I extracted the system.sin file from a .167 ftf and then flashed system using Flashtool.
- Reboot the phone into TWRP. Clear cache, dalvik. I did NOT clear data.
- Install M4 extras. Install AOSGP. Clear cache, dalvik.
- Reboot took about 15 minutes, probably less.. and BINGO.
Thanks to all.

When i upgraded from 128 to 167, phone works well but random reboots. Any fix this issue?
Clean install of .167 and .92. Flashing the .128 kernel causes the blue boot animation to hang (the start up sound cuts off half way). Flashing the previous kernel back over works.
Same happens when I flash .128 then everything but the kernel from .167 and .92.
Unsure what the FSC script option does, but yes or no makes no difference.

If your random reboots usually happen while downloading or updating apps in the play store, you should try this. Make sure you backup your data first just in case.

Hello. Please help. I got softreboot everytime I try to call someone

Hello,
thank you for this guide. I have a question: why not extracting the old kernel and just flashing the kernel.sin?
I have been using the prerooted .575 ROM by kulvertti (http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...lipopprerooted231a128z2-tabletsgp511-t3100821) with the bootloop fix in the last week, and decided to reflash the rom without the bootloop to test whether it works without it.
After the advanced wipe of everything including internal memory and flashed the .575 rom, my tablet can no longer boot up. It just stayed in the Sony Xperia screen. Tried to ADB to it, but gets the "device null not found error", nor the adb devices showed it was connected to the PC.
What can I do to get me out from this now? or at least how can I install TWRP recovery so I can try flash again? Much appreciated.

Thanks, but EMMA won't work. It is for unlocked bootloader. I managed to download the flashing tool 0.9.22.3 by Androxyde and get everything back to normal, though I still need to flash the bootloop fix for the .575 ROM.
please help urgently :'(
i have flashed system UI mod which seems to be corrupted
phone gave a message of system UI error
so in recovery ..i went to advanced format then formatted system and cache etc
pressed reboot and message of are you sure to reboot ..no OS
i rebooted and screen stuck at the first black screen and could not shut down or restart :'(
good day,
If your bootloader is unlocked you can flash recovery via fastboot mode and in recovery flash a rom of your choice. If bootloader locked you'll have to go the flashtool way and if I may ask why did you reboot a systemless phone?

Ok check under Xperia Z2 General for FTF Z2 stock firmwares and download one of them. After that download and install the latest flashtool, which will assist you with installing the FTF firmware.
You can use Xperia Companion app on your computer to perform a software repair. Install the latest version of Xperia companion app from the Sony site. Once it's installed, open it and click software repair. It will ask you to connect the phone in flash mode in due time; at that point connect to your PC with a USB cable while pressing the Volume Down button. The Companion app will download the stock rom and flash it on its own. You just have to wait until the process is over. This will delete all the data on your device though.
