You can't flash firmware (FTF) from your phone. You have to use flashtool.
Im talking about .zip files like apps and tweaks NOT FIRMWARE. Ftf NOT FIRMWARE reeeeeead next time thanks for the reply tho

Perhaps be more clear next time too. And you're welcome.

To help gain some clarity, as you've not provided some crucial information:
Do you have root?
Did you actually install CWM?
If you've done both of these you can flash any zip that was made for the LT28. If you're trying to flash a zip for another model it's likely not going to work. I avoid flashing mods, opting instead to install them manually.
All of this is covered in the ion forum if you bothered to reeeeead.
I thought it was a givin that I had root I spose not tho I was pretty clear. The only reason I was a bit curt was because I had "not roms" in brackets.
The zip files im trying to install have to do with the audio player so they are probably more of a driver type thing. My firmware is stock,rooted CWM Rom is not installed I have the CWM app and it says there is no recovery for this phone stock ics rooted locked boot. And yes I have been searching but havent found much useful yet.

You need to connect device to computer for almost all aspects. Root , cwm, mods etc.
You need to solve the pc issue first then look into mods and such.
Also if root you can manually replace the file with root explorer from the extracted zip

You don't need the clockwork app. Just install the cwm found in android development section. Must use a computer. It's as simple as pressing a. Bat file

Type this "cwm recovery for xperia ion" or this "clockwork recovery for xperia ion" in google search and come back and tell us what you found.
Our phones will not boot into recovery from cwm all we really have is flashmode. Yes some zips can be flashed through cwm such as themes and what not from the Xperia s but you need to match mounting points and what not, if you flash a bad zip you may get a boot loop if that's the case just shut the phone off then run flashtool reflash the. Ftf and you'll be fine.

[Q] Why do I always get bootloops?

Hi everyone,
I am new to flashing and rooting. I have rooted my Xperia S using bin4ry method (locked bootloader). I found CWM for locked bootloaders which use a .bat file to flash CWM.
I always get a bootloop by using that CWM. I got bootloop once, then I restored using flashtool. I gave a second try and I got bootloop again!!!! I got extremely annoyed. I was trying to install a flashable zip mod of Xperia T small apps.
I have wiped dalvik cache before every time I flashed. No luck.
Can anybody help me out?
Maybe the mod isn't for your system Version?

I don't know. CWM for locked bootloader hasn't been updated for a good time.

How do other people with locked bootloader use CWM?
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
Don't worry, framework-res was the problem, not cwm.

SOLVED : How to undo a flashed ZIP from Recovery?

I flashed from recovery a zip, install from sdcard. It does not work, so how can I remove it from my phone?
SONY XPERIA S rooted unlocked bootloader JB .211
If flashing through CWM failed or not working,nothing is applied to your phone,as far as I remember...

I installed xElite gamer ROM but now i cant enter recovery. Tried using auto cwm installer and it tells that cwm is installed but cant boot into recovery.
Is there any other way of entering recovery except vol button and into recovery reboot?

I don't think this can be done with a locked bootloader.
Is your bootloader unlockable?
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
No. I cant unlock it any day soon

You should not give advice like this without reading the post.. He said he had a locked bootloader if he followed your comments he would have probably bricked his phone:crying:
With a locked bootloader this would not brick your phone it would not install I tried this when I had a locked bootloader and my it said on my computer I needed a unlocked bootloader and left the phone stock it wouldn't of bricked it
