Is there a way to back up kernel in cm10?

Back up to where? If the zip is on your memory card then you already have it

You mentioned CM10 on OP, then PAC... I'm confused.
The believe its the boot.img if you look into the zip. Use es file explorer and you'll see what I mean
Sent from my Jellybean Xperia S
kernel can be found in Rom zip, with the name boot.img. extract it from the zip file.
u can always flash back this boot.img to your device after u flash another kernel and feel u dont like it.
flash boot.img using flashtool or using cmd fastboot method.
Thanks for info thread closed

Not really, unless someone creates a flashable zip with stock fw using a rom creator and transfers it you by bluetooth, but that would be stupid because in the time it's taken to transfer a bluetooth file you could have put on a computer, run flashtool, dl'd the stock ftf, flash the phone, gone to a pub and had a beer
Thank you for the prompt response.

that wouldn't work as you can't flash kernel via recovery

You can't flash firmware (FTF) from your phone. You have to use flashtool.

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.

Its impossible, because flashable zips are used to flash stuff into /system only. And kernels are not found in /system, so it won't work
Press thanks if I helped

No i,made many flashable zips for kernels when i used samsung u just buy d boot.img in it n sign it wid auto signer

Can't do that with the arc, it's similar to HTC s-on. You can only boot kernels via pc with fastboot.
Sony phones are not same as Samsung or other manufacturers' phones.
Sony phones do not have the ability to install kernels via Recovery.

as i said in my last thread that my sd couldnt be read by my phone, i thought if i could turn my backup (that i have copied before anything happens) into a .zip to sideload. and maybe that would get thing the way they were before it got ruined
or if by any chance you know how to sideload a backup?
After I installed TWRP recovery, when I try to flash a new rom the installer says that the rom is not compatible, because it's built for another device. Something like "this is yuga, this rom is compatible with - the xperia zl name -". Do you know how to fix it?

It is. It looks like after installing the recovery the device identify itself as yuga, causing the problem. I don't know if I have to flash another boot or recovery or kernel to fix this.

Not sure. If this was the "Dual recovery" installation, go download the zl version and re-flash...

Download pa rom zip. You can find it inside the zip. Just extract a file called boot.img. And flash using fastboot command

Not always. If you are using stock based rom you just need stock kernel. However to use cm based roms you'll need this respective kernel.
