FastFlash v0.1
Hey!
just made a small tool for easy flashing of .img files!
you can just drag'n'drop the .img files directly onto the application! (must be in root folder tho)
Else you put the .img files in the "IMG" folder, then run the application
Requirements:
Any 2011+ Xperia model
Fastboot drivers
Windows
Cheers!
ps:
check my signature and click "2011 xperia firmware list", there you will find some stock kernels!

Just download the kernel, which you want.
All kernels are in .img format, sometimes the file is just packed to a .zip file, then you need to extract it first.
This should help many new user which interested to flash a new custom kernel

Does anyone have the original kernel?
I could be blind but in all the kernel and roms pages I haven't yet seen a posting of the original...so how would you flash back? Just SEUS?
If you do a serious mod you should always have the original ready....
search ST15i_4.0.2.A.0.62_(1251-0020).ftf for flash tool, that is the stock kernell
Are you sure? I thought that was the entire rom?
I upgraded to .62 then couldn't root so flashed .42 ftf and that was the entire rom.
Thanks
Just download semc .ftf, open it as .zip and search kernel.sin. Flash it via fastboot and you're fine!
this didn't work. I tried flashing just kernel and it flashed the whole rom anyway.

Did you extract only kernel.sin to the folder and flashed the whole rom?Maybe you have the whole rom on flash folder and somehow you flash it...?
What I have is a .42 ftf. So using the flash tool I selected only kernel.
Do you mean to open and extract the ftf? How do you do that? Windows has no idea how to open it.
Thanks
QeneX just told youRename it to blablabla.zip and then extract to some folder or right click open with whatever program you use (winrar 7zip etc) and extract files somewhere.Find kernel.sin and flash only that not the whole rom

Now I got it! That was the one vital piece of info. I was missing! I haven't renamed to .zip in a very long time...forgot you could do that. OK I just extracted the kernel.

Good luck with your experiments
Here is easy tut how to root Mini/Pro/live/Active on Sony ICS ROM with unlocked bootloader with few steps.
You will need:
1. Flashtool
2. Fastboot drivers
3. Any kernel with CWM
If you have everything let's start.
1. Connect your phone to computer in fastboot mode
2. Open Flashtool and click "Flash" button,select "Fastboot mode" and click "OK"
3. When you done that click on "Select kernel to HotBot" and navigate to any custom kernel with CWM and click "OK"
4. Phone will boot your kernel and during boot process keep pressing "Volume Down" button to boot to CWM
5. If you booted to CWM mount sdcard and download "su-bin-3.0.3.2-efghi-signed.zip" and save it to sdcard
6. In CWM navigate to "su-bin-3.0.3.2-efghi-signed.zip" and install it
7. Reboot your phone and install "SuperUser" app from Google Play Store
8. Enjoy in rooted phone
If you have any question fell free to ask.
Easiest way. Thanks!

Download busybox installation app by Stericsson and just change install location from /system/bin/ to /system/xbin/.

Via flashtool, excluding everything, but kernel.
Just a /system dump from stock, but rooted, firmware 4.1.B.0.431 for WT19i.
Use it to restore any stock files, that you might have lost/deleted accidentally.

EDIT: To all the people, who might get confused - This is not a CWM/Recovery-flashable .zip file!

This is not ment for flashing at all.
Besides, you cannot install a rooted system without having a rooted system already.
You can use this to restore certain stock system files, incase you haven't made backups.

please dont be lazy, the answer to your question is just one page back...
anyways this is for rooted only lww and it is not a flashable zip.
can be used to create one in order to restore files to stock.
no need to unlock bootloader, root only required.

is there any way to flash kernels without connecting our phones to pc?
a friend of mine had an HTC incredible s that could flash kernels on it by the phone only. is the same thing possible on SE mdpi's?
I think no.
Unfortunately, certainly not.
Hi
If you have a zip format flashable package containing a kernel, way shouldn't you?
When you flash a ROM, you flash also its kernel.

ROM isn't same as kernel. Kernel is medium between hardware and software. Same as you can't change ROM while phone's turned on.

Wrong, when you flash a rom you don't even touch the kernel, I guess you were talking about flashing a ftf file via flashtool.
Sent from my SK17a using xda app-developers app
The same as stock + root.
ROM:
http://speedy.sh/qYeq2/C5303-Generic-12.1.0.1.201-signed.zip
Mirror:
https://mega.co.nz/#!boIBHLjR!qsnN28c9xqTMq562a2lgQ6AdZVlgL4uqJZBVU75lKGk
Kernel (for flashtool after install rom)

Mirror:
https://mega.co.nz/#!zo4HxQQa!-rVewRUW0xcOz8WFxhfOnBR1RyjsIOknQlZ6sIPGDDA
STEPS:
Download the .zip file (see downloads)
Put the pre rooted firmware + SU zip into your internal SD
Flash both files and turn the phone off
Open flashtool into flashmode
Flash 201 kernel
Reboot device
Done
Than'k
Could you upload it with something else (for example https://mega.co.nz or http://d-h.st/) because I don't have a premium acount on speedy share, and I dont want to bloat my computer with their download assistant .exe file...
What kind of fw is this? Generic Europe? Generic Global?
Thanks for sharing!
could anyone confirm this one ?
Thank'd.
Btw, how do you make the kernel only ftf? I know how to make a full ftf and extract the kernel.sin from it. Then how to make the ftf from it? Or.. any other way? Thanks in advance.
any other link ?
because i dont have premium account.
thanks
Well no need for me to update my thread..... (kidding)

It is a pre-requisite that customised or cooked roms need root & recovery to install...
Im still using Stock rom .245(4.1) rooted with CWM. Do i still need to install .254(4.1) and .266(4.3) before flashing this rom and kernel? thanks in advance

I don't think so. I have flashed a few cooked (current) ROMs with .254 rooted + CWM. What matters is having CWM to flash the ROM which comes in zip files...In fact, I had to downgrade to .254 in order to root + CWM to flash
so to correct my understanding
ROM in OP is pre-rooted but Kernel in OP is stock kernel without root?
Exactly what are the changes in this FW
I mean geez Sony only put -_- battery improvements, software enhancements and are really very generic changes

No, At least they should've given the exact things they fixed liked the "App Installation Animation is fixed" instead of saying "Various System Improvements". It seems so general

Did you change anything in the ROM apart from rooting it? There are some files missing compared to my german .201 version. I don't know if there are more files than the bloatware ones, it was just a short look into it.
anyone experience unknown baseband and wifi problem after flashing?
