Try to reflash his kernel & ROM and do everything in the right order.

you will need to reflash the 4.0.2.A.0.42 .
1- check if your phone is unlocked (bootloader)
2- use the fastboot to flash the new kernel
3- follow the instruction of doomlord for booting into recovery
4- use the package that is given by doomlord

You can't make a ftf from a modified system, that's why you can't root so easy. (I guess hehe).

Sony xperia s bricked by FXP kernel

As the title says, the FXP kernel bricked my phone and I can't install another ftf file over it because everytime i try to do it via flashtool it gets unplugged form fastboot in flashtool while it's still in that fastboot. I think that's because I can't acces the cache anymore.
Can somebody help !! :crying:

Sent from my ION.

I solved it by doing:
1. Factory reset
2. Then check if you can mount system and cache. If you cannot then wipe /data
3. Install another kernel and then install fxp kernel again (I know this sounds crazy)
4. After installing fxp kernel again install fxp rom
Then the phone should be running again

Flashable Recoveries In FOTA partition CWM and TWRP

After Dees_Troy post here about recovery in FOTA partition. I believe from now on every kernel develper will implement elf extract in his/her kernel then end user can choose whatever they like to use.
If you are lucky enough (your kernel already support elf extract) then choice is your!!
Make your choice, download then install zip in recovery.

No, you need to install a custom kernel with elf extractor supported. And you can not install custom kernel on a locked boot loader. so no chance.

Are there any ICS kernels that support this do you know?

You are not tie a recovery that came with your kernel so
1. You can choose between CWM and TWRP
2. You can upgrade version of your recovery without upgrade kernel.
I saw you are using Stock+ kernel which came with TWRP 2.4.1 you could try upgrade TWRP 2.4.3 or if you like CWM you can change by flash the other

Can I flash TWRP on FXP CM10 - 209? I think that FXP ROM's have this feature merged but I'm not too sure
Edit: I noticed in the updater script for TWRP it says
Code:
ui_print("Flashing CWM to FOTA...");
Should this be?
Code:
ui_print("Flashing TWRP to FOTA...");

If it is implemented then yes, the recovery should work.
Thank you for your good eye :good: The recovery image is the correct one but only ui_print is wrong. If you check both zip file. It is exactly same. It ment to write recovery image to FOTA partition.
I will correct the typo an upload. Meantime you could try to flash it. DON'T forget to create a backup first.

Maybe some mods that use aroma-installers. I've never bothered with any of those, my preferred rom is just a flashable zip and so are all the addons.

From what I understand, they have different chips so I would flash the one for your C6503 which was already released by Nut a little while ago now.

Nevermind, it's in your flashable file.
Thanks.

I believe if you only flash the zip through cwm, you will be stuck in a bootloop, you will need to flash the kernel too using flashtool.

Thanks. I went back to the .423 build (4.2.2) so I could root and already got a notification for the .244 update. Do I download (and install) the update?
Afterwards, is the procedure the same?:
1 - Put 'Flashable.101.zip' on (the external) SDcard1;
2 - Put '10.4.1 .B.0.101_Stripped.ftf' inside the Flashtool/firmwares folder;
3 - Create a backup of your phone in TWRP and don't forget to backup the contents of 'SDCard' (the internal storage!);
4 - Flash 'C65XX_10.4.1.B.0.101.flashable.zip' in TWRP;
NOTE: do not reboot but go back to the main menu, then go to reboot->power off;
Flash everything in 'C65XX_10.4.1.B.0.101_Stripped.ftf' using flashtool;
Reboot to system.
Thanks.

After rooting 4.2.2, you need to update to 4.3 10.4.B.0.569 using this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2567266
Then proceed with .101.

Went straight to .101.... no problems whatsoever, but thanks for the advice.

Just flash the stock FTF if you need to come back to stock. It will be back to full stock without root or recovery if that's what you need. Use Flashtool to flash in Flashmode
If you flash my zip through cwm and did nothing else than that's probably why you cant boot, just flash the stripped FTF via flashtool. you probably cant boot becoz of your custom Kernel.

I am currently on the eXistenZ Rom with Android 4.2.2. I have root and CWM installed.
Can I flash this straight on top? Is it only a zip for CWM and nothing else? Would I keep root if I flash this?
Thank you in advance.

I came from pac man rom and was able to do a full wipe, flash zip in cwm, and then turn off phone and use flash mode to flash the ftf kernal. Kept root and zero issues so far. Some one please correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure you can do the same thing.
