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.

If you don't need the camera , cm9 or aokp will be the best choice.

I remember seeing a flashable cwm recovery.
That means you can flash the cwm recovery with the stock recovery.
Let me check out with this ....
Please give me the links

Yes you can flash it without cmw, you can use odin instead. After all, even if you flashed it via cwm, you will have to flash cmw again after you successfully flashed your desired rom.
If you want to flash it via cmw, it should be on zip file. Put the zip on your internal memory/sd card. Reboot to cmw and select the zip file. On flashing cmw here's the guide, read it carefully and be sure not to skip anything. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1467128
Its all in there. Hope this helps.

And btw I suggest root your wonder first using stock recovery, as I have heard there is a problem rooting wonder using cmw.
Anyways, if youre going to flash a rom, root and cmw will be wiped. So you have to root and flash cmw again after flashing a rom. Just an info.

I already root it. But i want to know how to install cwm with or without odin. Because acro said the best way to flash cynagonmod 9 is by cwm. So how do i install cwm on my phone?

You can install cwm recovery via ODIN. I provided the link on my previous post, it will show you how to flash cmw recovery on your phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1467128
Here posted again. All needed files are there. Just read it and dont skip any.
Flashing cmw recovery is like flashing a firmware, just follow the steps and you wont have any problem.
Additional info: Before flashing cmw recovery, be sure to enable usb debugging. System>applications>development>usb debugging. Then you can proceed on flashing.

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.

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

Steps to install CM is as follows
1- root your device. You don't need to unlock the boot loader. There is an how to thread in general and development sections
2- Flash clockwork recovery. Again there is a thread in Dev section.
3- download and flash CM10 through clockwork recovery. Kernel is included in the ROM.
You are done.
Note: Don't forget to wipe necessary stuff.

I do have root so if you could do that, that would be soo helpful.
My bootloader is unlocked, but with that recovery I can flash a rom.
I think the rom i will flash has a kernel + recovery, is that a bad thing?

Oh that's okay, well as far as I know there is LupusGB and Doomkernel which are suggested in the rom thread. LupusGB doesn't work for me, and Doomkernel cannot be downloaded anymore..
What are you suggesting? I'm not familiar with this phone, just got it a few days
