I'm about to Root my Arc S running Stock ICS and Unlock the B/L to Install the Paranoid Android ROM & wondered if there is an easy & straight forward way to Flash the FXP Kernel that is required, as the last time I tried it I ended up bricking my Arc S and having to revert back to stock?

if u do it right you wont brink your arc s..
get into fastboot mode..open flashtools and select fastboot mode(lightening icon)..then click on "select kernel to flash",,then browse for it and within 1 second kernel will be flashed

Thanks.
Just did what you said and it worked fine, the FXP Kernel that I tried last time must have been faulty as I used the Kernel from Paranoid Android v1 FXP116 BASED and Flashed MooDeD Paranoid [AXP][xTremeFast][PORT][RC1-V1][xDonate] and everything went smoothly, now just waiting for it to Boot for the first time.

Hey forumuser
I've a Problem with my Xperia Play R800i. i have flashed the Kernel from doomlord. But now, i want to flash a new Kernel. When i put my xperia play in fastboot Mode and flash the New kernel with cmd, there arent any problems. But when i reboot the phone, there isnt any new kernel .. Also in Settings >Phone Information>kernel is shown the old doomlord kernel... How can i fix that?

Use the command "fastboot erase boot" before you flash new kernel, this will format boot partition and erase old kernel.

Hi.
So i spent the THE LAST 2DAYS finding how to flash CWM recovery to my phone.
Every time i find a new guide either a link is broken or the files are fro arc only (but i read somewhere that that doesn't matter, but its confusing anyway...) yeah so i managed to UNlock my bootloader , then i found a way to root it , then i installed CWM ( i just connected my phone to the computer and flashed it true CMD) anyway so iv managed to get in to the CWM recovery then i wanted to install [ROM][ARC/S]JELLY SANDWICH 4.5[09.09] i downloaded it and placed it on to my SD card , got in to the recovery wiped cache /dalvik made a backup and chose install zip from SD, then i got stuck on the SONY logo screen, and i had to re flash my phone usin flash tools (update service / pc companion coudn't help me prob. because of the unlocked bootloader (i read that somwhere) and so here i am asking you for a simple freaking guide how to install CWM on to my XPERIA ARC S , so i can install the custom jelly bean ROM .
THANK YOU !

dude just flash a custom kernel for "ICS"...you actually forgot to flash a ics kernel..thats why it got stuck at logo..and custom kernel already contains CWM..so you dont need to install it seperately...

jelly sandwich ROM is an ICS ROM..so you cant run ics rom on gingerbread kernel..u need to flash a incs rom to make it work...so flash a custom kernel recommended on ROM thread ...kernels for example xarc, arcknight,etc.
btw all custom kernel has CWM recovery inside it.

Try it manually and see or use an older version of the flashtool as it obviously isn't working properly.
Did you use "Select kernel to flash" option?

Well you could always ftf to stock and just root and try again this will help with conflicts of old files and kernels and you can start fresh

CM9.1 ZEUSC For r800x cdma has the kernel &CWM in it!!!! along with the rom !!so read below
Simple fix is stay away from JB roms they are still too new so you are going to run in to many bugs..etc Besides alot of people here treat the 800x like its a red headed step child here.
lucky for you i have bricked my phone many times and brought it back from the grave.
Step 1 is you bootloader unlocked? If yes. it doesnt matter what rom you have on it now. because you can do what you please with it.
Step 2 are you using flash tool? if yes flash Kernels first before flashing a rom
A good rom i recommend is Zeusc CM9.1 still has bugs but it is stable.
download it here Google get.cm then click Zeusc cm 9.1 is the latest stable release. also download Gapps Signed for Ics 4.04 Because you will need to put it on you SD card later along with the CM9.1 zip.
Step 3 download it and extract the boot.img file from it and then put a copy of the zip intact on your SD card. put your phone in USB MODE TO DO SO..
Step 4 open up flash tool . if you dont have it google "flash tool androxide".. it should be on Cnet make sure its the newest version...
Step 5 power your phone off... Go to my computer then C: drive look for flashtool click on drivers and install them for your phone. along with fast boot and flash mode... 3 total boxes to check... once installed move to step six
Step 6 plug you phone in VIA USB CORD while HOLDING THE SEARCH BUTTON . IF YOU DID IT RIGHT YOU SHOULD SEE A BLUE LIGHT.
Step 7 look at the logbox of flash tool is should say it detected your phone and display info. Click the LIGHTNING BOLT ICON( Flash Button)
then select fastboot mode.
next click "select Kernel to flash" button then select the boot.img file you extracted from the zip folder. earlier in step 3
if you did it correct it will flash the boot image to you phone along with the CWM recovery to you bootloader. once it says sucessful.
unplug your phone. hold the power button to reboot it when you see the free xperia logo come on hold the volume down button. till it goes in to recovery mode.
step 8 erase your "partitons" and "cache" then select "advanced" clean your "dalvik cache" too. next select install from zip folder then select the zip you want to flash. its the file that says cm9.1 zeusc. the file i told you to put on your SD card.
install it to your phone!!!! after that do not reboot until you flash the google apps zip on you sd card the same way you did the rom..
THEN ONCE YOU INSTALLED BOTH REBOOT YOUR PHONE FROM CWM RECOVERY BY SELECTING REBOOT FROM THE MENU.
NOW YOU SHOULD HAVE A FULLY WORKING ROM ON YOUR 800X
dONT FORGET TO THANK ME !!!
After flashing fusion 4,5 kernel,cm10 rom 208 ver always return back fxp kernel after rebooting. Unchecked automatic restore in backup & restore.
Fxp kernel is good but i do not have root access
All CM ROMs are pre rooted. Reinstall the ROM if you want root back
sent via XPERIA™
Update/install from play store. CM Roms are prerooted as said over.
Sent from my LT15i using birds.
Thanks guys but what means "prerooted" .
I just cannot flash fusion kernel becouse cm10 return back fxp kernel when rebooting, and this hapens only with fxp208, this is first problem with this rom.
Second is that with fxp kernel I cannot have root access but if I flash fusion 4,5 I have.
Thanks in advance
Pre rooted means the ROM is rooted already.
As for your problem, can you list the steps you did to flash the kernels?

step 3. flash fusion 4.5 kernel
when I first boot fusion kernel is on, but first after I try to reboot device rom return fxp kernel
