Please help me, flashing my brothers x10 was soo easy with .ftf files, but I really dont know how to flash .img kernels or if my bootloader still locked
Need a guide for noobs
or should I wait until sony releases ICS update?

Rooting doesnt unlock the bootloader.. Is ur bootloader unlocked? how did u do it? SE has given official instructions on how to unlock the bootloader..
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
R u trying to flash this Kernel via the Flash tool software? I would suggest you to connect ur cell in the fastboot mode.
Switch it off and connect it to PC via USB by pressing the menu button (A blue LED will be seen)
U need to have working fastboot for that..
http://www.mediafire.com/?b2of5mpqi2bwczt
Extract this file and when u'll connect ur cell to PC as stated above, for the first time, it will ask for drivers... browse to the USB driver folder which is in the .rar file.
Once u r done with the unlocking bootloader, download the kernel img file and save it in the folder where fastboot.exe is.
Now open the command promt (if u r using windows 7, just press shift and do a right click, select open command prompt here from the menu) and go to the fastboot folder in the cmd. once u r on the path of fastboot. Enter following commands :
fastboot flash boot KernelFile.img (ur copied kernel file)
it will start flashing the kernel, once it is done, type following
fastboot reboot
Ur cell be restarted, when u'll c the kernel booting, keep pressing the volume button to go into the recovery mode..
I cant be held responsible if u damage ur device!!!
Hit thanks if I helped u..

I have got the same stuff (but on my xperia neo)
same exact problem.
The is nothing with bootloader or root, i guess
what my experience is, when i open with cmd in windows and type fastboot devices, i get none but in flashtool it recognised the device in fastboot.
Do you also have the same status as this ?

Seriously bro.. you're doing something wrong.. once install all the drivers and execute this command..

Put the unlock code in the command, enter it, while having phone in fastboot mode, and bootloader should get unlocked. That is only if you do have SIM-unlocked phone, that is no SIM-lock.

Rooting does not unlock your bootloader. They are not even related to each other!
There is a big difference between "Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes" and "Bootloader unlocked: Yes". I think you understand the difference.
Unlock bootloader and then try to flash kernel again.

Solved
I was having the same problem and it was due locked bootloader
then i unlocked the bootloader and every thing goes fine

so, dudes, I had the same problem... beyond others
the situation is: YOUR BOOTLOADER LOOKS LIKE UNLOCKED,
BUT IT ISN'T!!
When you rooted your phone, the rooting method modificated this notification. But the true story is that you need to go to Sony website and claim your BOOTLOADER UNLOCK CODE.
Unless you do this, you'll never flash any thing on your smartphone.
Hugs and kisses!!

S-off, Relocked and no Root (SOLVED)

Hi guys,
I flashed stock back to my phone and relocked the bootloader by "fastboot oem lock".
I been stuck with this for the last 2 days searching for solution on how to get my phone unlocked and rooted again.
This is what I have tried so far:
1. Rumrunner 1.10.605.10 and 1.10.605.15 firmware (flashed 1.10.605.10 and updated to 15) - Run just fine, but it does not change anything on the phone. Still shows RELOCKED S-off and NO Root.
2. Firewater (temp-root method) - Temproot: Root acquired. Firewater: "there really isn't a helluva lot to do here. bye bye"
3. Flashing CM recovery - failed remote not allowed
Could someone please help me to get back Root access and UNLOCK my phone?
Thank you in advance.
If your s-off, all you have to do is fastboot flash a custom recovery.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery_file.img
Then flash superuser zip thru recovery. Then you will be rooted. Also it is a myth that you need to relock the bootloader to do an ruu, so that wasnt really needed. Not sure exactly how to unlock the bootloader again.

Ok try this then.
1. Download this file http://vzw1files.dyndns.org/RECOVERIES/twrp/Twrp_2.6.3.4_RUU_Mode.zip, and place it on your pc in the same folder as fastboot.exe and adb.exe. Rename it to recovery.zip
2. Connect the phone to the pc and open a cmd prompt to where the files are, and type the following.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Wait for hboot.
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Wait for grey HTC logo.
Code:
fastboot flash zip recovery.zip
Wait for cmd window to say it has finished.
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
3. Hit power button to select bootloader, and then use the power button again to select recovery.
If all is well you should boot to TWRP 2.6.3.4. Then flash Superuser http://vzw1files.dyndns.org/Superuser/superuser.zip and you will be rooted.

Enable USB Debugging in Settings.
To do so, go to build information and tap it 7 times.
This will enable the Developer options in settings.
In there, check the box for Usb Debugging.
You should then be able to fastboot flash the recovery as per usual.
Good luck! :good:

2. Fastboot devices shows up? > Go to the unbrick program it has a file with all partitions. Flash the missing ones that you get on your screen manually, i assume that you know how fastboot works.
3. System boots yay! But no wifi Reflash OOS but dont boot! Go to Fastboot and type this
"fastboot erase modemst1"
"fastboot erase modemst2"
If you still didn't manage to fix it try to explain as clearly ss you can with what you are doing and what you have tried.

Are you using the latest FASTBOOT.exe?
Can you screenshot the CMD?
unknown commands usually indicate an error in the command not the execution of the command.

Hi, I am trying to install twrp twrp-3.1.1-0-odin.img so I can get RR rom on my C6502
first of all, I'm well aware of steps, and I personally have this rom installed in my xperia m, so it won't be hard for me to understand and it's quite easy as 123 over there
the problem I'm facing is, this xperia ZL c6502 l35h device seems to have something in different I'm not able to flash twrp here
I used repair feature in sony pc companion, done successfully, start device, wait for first boot time, configure, enable unknown source, enable usb debugging, connect cable to pc and allow RSA pc's code
power off and connect with voldown, used flash tool to unlock bootloader (yes the blootloader status unlock is yes in *#*#7378042#*#* code confi thing)
bootloader unlocked successfully, device tried to be in bootloop for three times, then it started, like first boot took somewhere 15 min to start up, and everything is fine, except I cannot increase brightness anymore but nvm
I again enable unknown source, and usb debugging, and allow my pc's RSA key > always allow
poweroff, connect in fastboot, flash kernel > select the just downloaded twrp from official source 3.1.1.0 I think
I flash receive an error says remote: command not allowed

then I try

successful, but phone bricked
I reflash 10.7.A.0.222 and device working again, but how do I flash twrp?

Just to confirm that you did change your downloaded recovery name to boot.img and placed it inside c drive adb folder, right?

yes, I renamed to boot.img after googling and learning,
and as I had minimal adb and fastboot installed in

Hi, I just managed to get it done, but another problem arise
I flash anew 10.7.A.0.222
after that, I ticked unknown source, and enable debugging, and as people mentioned that it means bootloader is not unlocked
I fired this command five times
fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xDB29CBBEFBAB4A64
and after that I fired
fastboot flash boot boot.img
output was

Here's something more I learned
If you unlock boot loader, and restart, > tick unknown + usb debugging, and boot to bootloader, it won't let you flash boot.img
but if you immediately unlock bootloader, and without restart, you flash boot.img, it will go success
but after that, your device won't start
it's not starting, it vibrates, but no display, no matter how many times you press and hold power button to start it, it will vibrate, and won't start
I tried each and every combination of vol +/- and power button, but it's not starting that way
EDIT:
but I can still press and hold vol up and connect cable to get in fastboot mode, after which if I try flashing twrp, i again get command not allowed, except if I try fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xDB29CBBEFBAB4A64 and then fastboot flash boot boot.img
after which I will get success flashing that recovery, but device won't start

For me, i think if you're recently to unlock your bootloader. Have you try to confirmed that your bootloader really unlocked from stock firmware? (*#*#7378423#*#*) and see about bootloader info?
If bootloader already unlocked, then you're safe to flash, And have you read any requirement to flash recovery for your device? i think it's like only work for custom rom or only work for specified version of firmware?
If device won't start, then it should from kernel problem. Try to check your custom recovery compatibility before flashing, and tell us what happen next

okay,
so few points worth mentioning
1) my bootloader is unlockable, and is unlocked, I mean in 7378423 it's written yes in root status bl unlock
2) I have received code from sony, and I can unlock it
3) the only recovery that works is https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2288118 that too only after using kingroot, which gives me old philz and 2.8.7.0 twrp which are not helpful, also I tried to flash RR 7.1.2 based, phone basically gets bricked
4) I can only flash twrp or any recovery if I unlock bootloader, and without restarting I flash boot.img, if I do so, phone gets bricked

There's nothing written about requirements of twrp to flash, or rom, they just don't have, but as I have latest firmware, it should work, even nothing is written in linageos thread
I found basically few members of the community faced this problem

Redmi note 8 pro, bricked for ever?

Hello guys:
One month ago i bought a Redmi note 8 pro, when it comes after a long time (almost 3 weeks) it comes with bootloader opened so i couldn use for example NFC pay. I looked for information to lock the bootloader i followed steps and bootloader was closed but phone was bricked too, so only can put smarthphone in fastboot or in recovery mode. I tried flash some roms by Fastboot using CMD in pc but appears this message
C:\adb>fastboot flash system system.img
target reported max download size of 134217728 bytes
erasing 'system'...
FAILED (remote: not allowed in locked state)
finished. total time: 0.004s
that was expected because bootloader is closed, but now i dont know if its posible to unlock bootloader and flash a new rom or beeing bootloader closed, flash a new rom for unbrick the phone.
To solve this problem I heard something abou autoriced xiaomi accounts and something about waiting seven days for unlock but i dont know nothing about it.
Thank you guys.

I have tried to flash with fastboot and with miflash pro, and it always fails, I imagine that the flash tool will do the same as miflash pro and it will also fail, I will try anyway.
Thank you.

I'm sorry for answering late, but I'm very busy with the current health situation.
What I have done is focus on unlocking the bootloader, and later will flash a new rom.
To unlock the device i have download "mi flash unlock tool"
Software recognice my phone
Click on "unlock">"unlock anyway">"unlock anyway"
Verifying device-ok
Unlocking-Fail
Couldn´t unlock
Please add your account in MIUI´s Settings > Developers option > Mi Unlock status
This way doesnt work.
I try by fastboot and cmd commands
Fastboot devices
Ok is connected and recognized
fastboot oem device-info
...
time 0.002s
Failed (remote: Unknown command)
fastboot oem unlock
...
time 18.455s
FAILED (Remote: GetVar Variable Not Found)
(Smartphone disconect and rebboy on recovery mode)
And well...I dont know what to do now.
It won't unlock because your device is already unlocked. You need to flash stock rom from custom recovery. Install custom recovery via adb. when you go back to stock rom device will be oem locked again. Also original account that was used to oem unlock device may be required that is why it might be failing.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...de-unlock-bootloader-flash-twrp-root-t3995919 (useful software here)
After flashing stock rom In fastboot try
Linux: adb fastboot-linux oem lock
OSX: adb fastboot-mac oem lock
Windows: adb fastboot-windows.exe oem lock
