For some custom roms you need to flash kernels via fastboot and for this you need unlocked bootloader.
if bootloader it's locked use Google and search there is official way to unlock but you will lose warranty and drm.

First flash any kernel you want instructions will be given from where you will download like doomkernel it has inbuit recovery. Reboot into recovery choose your rom
Wipe system,chache,dalvik chache install zip from sd card
Dont flash ics rom over gb kernel or gb rom over ics kernel or it will cause bootloop

Considering you already have flashtool and your desired kernel follow this :
1) Plug in your phone in fastboot mode [S-Off, hold menu key and plug in to PC]
2) Place you .img on your desktop
3) Open up flashtool, select fastboot mode and select flash kernel and select it from the desktop
4) Once kernel is flashed un plug your device restart it open up CWM and flash desired ROM.
Hopefully i helped you out

kernel is an .img file so flash it normally as you do flash kernels...

After flashing the kernel you often need to flash Wifi Modules in recovery

You need to unlock your bootloader. Root is not needed at all.

Yes root is not required so tell what exact error you are getting and first confirm that you have adb drivers installed

You'll have to unlock your boot loader and see THIS
yes i have done this but this is only a temporary Recovery ?
the general idea is, recovery/cwm is only available on certain kernels i.e. DoomKernel, blend kernel, and cm7 kernel, or via adb.

It needs to be run from the computer every time using that method. xRecovery on the stock rom is what I'd prefer but don't mind using the lappy as I'd only use recovery 99% of the time when I'm at home anyway.

Hey guys can anyone tell me how to install cwm in my xperia ion.i recently rooted my jb with locked bootloader.

Doomlord is working on that to make one for us. Right now there is no way for those who has Locked Bootloader to get CWM (including me). So we just can wait. If u want something to install, maybe u can just copy it straight away to system and change the permission.

In my case, when i installed CWM @ locked bootloader .55 FW, the CWM didn't work properly. So I suggest you to unlock bootloader & flash doomkernel which is pre loaded with CWM and TWRP.

Pushing the files to the system and changing the permissions is hectic than flashing through recovery. If any error happens it can result in unexpected accidents.
You can unlock the boot loader (u will lose bravia engine) and flash a custom kernel using flash tool.
In the development section you can find some cool kernels with build-in recovery.
If You don't want to unlock , then wait for someone to make a recovery for phones with locked boot loaders.
Hi guys,
My friend just gave me his old xperia arc and I want to root it, unlock bootloader and flash super jellybean 6.0. I have a xperia play running cm10 so I'm not a complete noob. however, I can't seem to be able to root the xperia arc. I tried using flashtool and superone click without anyluck
Some details about the phone that might help
Xperia Arc unlocked
Model LT15a
Running stock 2.3.4
4.0.2.A.0.62 firmware
Do I have to down grade or update the firmware? or would unlocking the bootloader and then flashing a kernel be any faster?
Thanks in advance :good:
You can use this to root your phone on stock .62 firmware

tried the eroot thing and the doomlord toolkit but it didn't work :crying: any more ideas?
If you're flashing a custom ROM root is not required. Just flash a custom kernel for your custom ROM that comes with a recovery so you can flash the ROM in recovery.

Did you check USB Debugging,Unknown sources,and go to connectivity as USB connection mode chose Mass storage mode(MSC)
Don't turn off the phone,turn on the application for rooting(eroot) and then connect your phone and just once click on root and what until it finishes.

You can unlock your bootloader, flash a custom kernel using fastboot then flash a custom ROM. Root is not required since the custom ROM is already rooted.

its been noted that recoverx doesnt work with the 96fw (not only that but chance not to work at all on any firmware)
there is a cwm installer in the dev section somewhere
try that instead

Coz i hv googled loads of forum bt i'm very confused aftr seeing dem i want any1 of u to share xct method of installing cwm
Thnks in advnce!!
1) Unlock your bootloader, Google 'Sony unlock bootloader' for this.
2) Install a custom kernel with CWM built in, you will need flashtool for that.
That is the only way you can install CWM, it is not available for locked bootloaders.
