You can not properly flash .efl files using Flashtools.

You have not unlocked your bootloader. Just follow Sony's official guide to unlock your boot loader. After you unlock your boot loader, the status in your service menu should say - "Boot loader unlocked:yes"
Then you will be able to flash the custom kernel.

Yes.
Rishi Raj Is Right!

Finally I have done it! Yt? Guys for the help
Yea if the bootlooder is unlocked EMMA will not detect and well prompt "unauthorized modification detected "
But if we relock the bootlooder then no one will understand that it was unlocked
I have already tested it §§§§§

EMMA is meant only for unlocked bootloader. After unlocking your bootloader, you won't be able to update using Sony Update Service or PC Companion. EMMA is officially provided by Sony so you can still update

Ok, for flashing kernel you need fastboot drivers. I think you can install fastboot drivers while installing Flashtool. You can also use app called QuikIMG. Here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1551073

To flash a kernel you have to have an unlocked bootloader. That's why it tells you the device has to be rooted first. Unlock the bootloader and it should be fine
How to do that is in my guide on how to unlock the bootloader

Ok, look, Xperia Ultimate HD is ICS based rom so you need ICS kernel for it, while SJB is JB Rom and you need JB kernel for it. If you want to try SJB you must flash JB kernel (Fusion/Lupus/nAa are those which I remember) after flashing them you can flash the ROM itself.

Unlock your bootloader and only then you can flash custom kernels...

1 install android sdk from here (just leave all the stuff like it is & press on install packages): http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
2 go to: [install location of android sdk]\sdk\platform-tools put kernel (boot.img) here
3 click in some empty space in this folder, then HOLD [SHIFT] while right click in this folder & choose ''open command prompt here''
4 power off phone. hold the menu-button while connecting to pc. the blue led will lit which means the device is in fastboot mode:good:
5 now in the command prompt enter ''fastboot flash boot boot.img'' it will flash kernel & tell u all is okay.
6 done

i get same fail that device must be rooted first oO its kinda wird because my device is rooted i use SU daily im 100% sure :/ maybe fastboot can't get permission for root but i don't know how to do that :/

okay some guesses.
1. you use win 8/81 ? --> there some driver problems there is a solution here in xda just google. need install these
2 you need install fastboot driver from flashtool in its install dir in driver folder
3 can try this to see if device connected (from sony site):
Enter fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version, and verify that you get a response back (for example "0.3"). This means your device is connected properly.

good luck

No root here means your bootloader is locked...
