Is Flashfire capable of flashing a stock-based rom? I'm thinking of building one.
Will try now. Do I need a factory reset after flashing kernels?

hi,
I can't update my system software since I flashed the root kernel for .277. Do I have to flash a "clean" ftf of .292 before I can flash the kernel?

PC is not detecting the device once fastboot mode is on(steady blue light). adb devices doesn't see anything either. I turned on OEM unlock. USB debugging is on. Even allowing unknown sources is on. Any insight on what's happening would greatly be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I've got a problem, but I'm not sure if it's been addressed anywhere else on here, I've searched through several pages. I've found a situation that was similar, but not the same. So I'm putting it out there, and hoping someone will solve it:
I've got a Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman (WT19i)
I rooted my phone, unlocked it's bootloader, and flashed a ROM; everything went well until it rebooted. Now I'm stuck at the point where the "Sony Ericsson" logo is shown, i've been stuck there for almost 30 minutes now.
Any help possible? Any at ALL would be MUCH appreciated.

What ROM are you trying to flash on your phone?
Did you checked first if the Bootloader was actually unlocked?
Did you flash a custom kernel thru fastboot?

I was trying to flash HYBROM.
Bootloader was unlocked for sure as I had installed Coconut previously, which also requires bootloader unlock.
No worries though; i solved my problem. I flashed an older firmware, along with a bootload relocker, with Flashtool. Now my phone has switched on, to my stock ROM. Still no clue how to flash hybrom ROM as it caused the same problem even after wiping dalvik cache and all other data (which was the solution provided by dev)

check first page of hybrom thread
Installation instructions
Needs unlocked bootloader
(actually hybrom does not contain a boot image.Thus, when you install hybrom you don't mess with your boot image at all.BUT recovery from nAa is installed in /system and while system is formated during the installation of hybrom,recovery messes with it self.That's why unlocked bootloader and a custom kernel with recovery is necessary for now to install hybrom)

I did not deny that a custom kernel is needed, I wanted to know how to flash/use a custom kernel?
To flash a custom kernel you need to have flashtool (sticky thread on the dev section) so:
1.- you download the custom kernel (it is a boot.img file)
2.- open flashtool
3.- connect your phone to your computer while the phone its off and you are holding the volume up key without releasing it the notification led should turn on blue.
4.- if the phone it's not recognized go to the flashtool folder and install the drivers located on the drivers folder once it is done repeat step 3 and it should be recognized.
5.- once your device it's connected click the thunderbolt icon on flashtool in the new screen select fastboot mode and continue.
6.- in the new screen click on select kernel to flash and browse to the boot.img you downloaded.
7.- check the flashtool log to make sure everything is fine if it is you are good to go.
Hope it helps.

Depending on the ROM, you want to install, you need correct kernel.
CM ROMs work only with FXP kernels, included in their topic.
MIUI ROMs have only specific kernels also, included in their topic.
Stock-based ROMs(XROM, Hybrom) work with Rage Kernel, X Kernel, bbooff's kernel, all these are in Development section, just search.
Glad to be helpful anything else just let us know.
Thanks very much!
I have a live with walkman from 3 etwork. the bootloader is locked. can I still flash hybrom 16 through CWM?
check service menu,
confirm if bootloader can be unlocked.
it should state "bootloader unlock allowed : yes".
after unlocking bootloader then there will be no problem installing hybrom
check this thread for more info about unlocking bootloader.

No. You must have unlocked bootloader. Also, for Hybrom, you must install custom kernel also.

U save me from unlocking the bootloader and missing the Bravia Engine 2...
Thanks a lot bro.. u r great...
Are you having issues with touch when connected to the charger? Also the Phone does not stay in off mode and turns on / boots up when I plug in.
I think you should look into the chargermon files.. many members report similar issues.
it worked like a charm :victory: so now do i have any need to unlock bootloader? i can install custom roms using cwm, right?
EDIT: I have just read on net that bootloader unlocking is necessary to install any custom ROM, then what is the point to make CWM for locked BL?

So you can install mods, backup system, use custom stock roms.... This is worth it.
Custom roms like cm,asop,Pac etc all need bootloader unlocked, as they use custom kernels.

To uninstall this, should I flash a stock ROM? or there are any easier methods?
If I can remember correctly from se arc forum there are 3 files you need to delete the main one is in system/bin-delete file called recovery.tar this will in effect delete cwm....
But I would leave installed as it is handy.

If I want to uninstall and also unroot, but since my country ftf file is not there, so I can use SUS to repair the phone (since it's also download the firmware file) or just once I download then I convert to ftf file and flash via flashtool?
If you flash phone using sus root and cwm will be gone as they are installed into system just like normal apps.

Yes you cannot flash woth PCC or SUS with unlocked bootloader.
If you have firmware file you can flash it with flashtool.
If you don't have firmware file, you can build it yourself.
First start repair with PCC, when it asks you to connect in flash mode quit it.
Now build the firmware file as shown in this post
There will be some differences if you use latest flashtool but they are not that difficult to figure out
If you are having flash tool driver problems please look at my post here first its proven to work please can u tell me are you using windows 7?

What root method did you do that didn't require USB Debugging to be enabled?? But yea, I dunno about that. You're going to have to find out though. You'll need the SP Flash Tool to work, whether it's to install the custom recovery, or to install the entire stock firmware.

There is a 'Super User' setting in Settings which I enabled.
I tried installing PdaNet but that does require USB debugging to complete the installation.
Isn't there a standard recovery mode on these phones that I can use (combination key press) to install a rom copied onto the SD card?

That's pretty handy. But no, the stock recovery does not support that. You might be able to get out of it just from doing a factory reset in the stock recovery, but it's hard to say since Xposed makes changes to /system as well and the factory data reset does not affect the /system partition, just /data

Method 2 ) its working, but you must change kernel from stock to--> (Lupus, doomkernel)
I could not root my 800at phone with this firmware. I am on a locked bootloader/stock kernel. ive used 2 programs to root.
try to flash .79 kernel, then root, then flash .84 kernel again, it might work.
Added Root Method to first post!
I found i file call rootxperia.zip, flashed it nthrough cwm and it worked
However, i got my flex cable mal functioned, so im saying goodbye to xpkay soon since in my place there is no way to fix it

I know it works, but you need to unlock the bootloader to do it that way
