Flash kernel via flashtool? - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Maybe a stupid question, but as I am used to flashing via fastboot, which doesn't work on my windows xp, is it possible to flash a kernel via flashtool, and if so, how?

I cant seems to update OTA. Im using fw.42,bseband-64,kernel.283
One more,cant i flash kernel using flashtool? Must i use fastboot?

maybe cause your phone has rooted..you can update using flashtool if you have the fw62.ftf,and yes you can flash kernel using flashtool,but make sure you're in fastboot mode..

I'm pretty sure you have to have all modded files in system back to stock

Fastboot issues.

Sorry if I'm spamming.
So I flashed my kernel to a ics format. Lupus. But I tried flashing my kernel to a JB format so I can flash to a JB rom. The problem is I can't get my phone into fastboot mode. I was told to flash back to .62 baseland. Question is how do I do that? Please any help will do.
Thanks in advance.

Use flashtool, drag the ftf into flashtool, untick all except baseband and flash it.
This won't lock my boot loader back up right? Oh and thanks for the reply

No it won't. This will just change your baseband.
thanks i really appreciate it

Xperia Play custom kernels

I just unlocked my boot loader and was wondering how do you install a custom kernel. I have searched for a thread about it but I wanted clear instructions. Also can you tell me what you think is the best kernel and rom combo? (For r800x CDMA)

The only cdma kernel is Doomkernel.

Before flashing a kernel i want to make sure i get everything right so i dont mess up my phone. Do i flash the kernel first or the rom and what is the baseband someone told me you need to flash this as well and if so where do you get it?

Kernal before rom always baseband is your network. Most of the time the roms o.p will have a link to download the baseband which you will flash after you install the rom
So its flash kernal using fastboot install rom using clockwirk mod recovery then turn phone iff enter flashmode and flash baseband should be good to go
P.S FLASHTOOL is your best friend

Order doesn't matter, just phone won't boot if kernel and rom are not same android version, fixable by doing the other steps

Have you correctly installed fast boot drivers and have you tried flash tool and do kernel that way

Still in zip file on phone I'm new so I am kind of lost right no

1. Extract the boot.img from the zip to your computer, you will need this file for fastboot
2. Place CM10 rom .zip file on the root of the SD card
3. Put the phone into fastboot mode:
Code:
fastboot reboot bootloader
4. Flash boot.img:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

First unlock your bootloader if you already havent done so. Then extract the kernel from the cm10 zip or get another one and flash with fastboot. Fastboot mode can be entered from Flashtool menu.
