And? How do I install a custom kernel? To flash the kernel i have to be in fastboot mode :S but my crappy w7 makes a sound like *du-du-du* and not *du-di!* like when you connect an usb cable
To flash a custom kernel, you use the android sdk. Copy the boot.img to the same folder as fastboot.exe fire up a command prompt. Hold back on device and connect usb cable, then type "fastboot flash boot boot.img into the prompt.

doesn't work, I hold back and plug in the phone, but it's flash mode; and when i type fastboot flash boot boot.img it just says < waiting for device > and after around 50 sec it exit from flash mode what am i doing wrong?
hold down the search button when turning on...
search button for fastboot mode and back button for flashmode. Use gordongate drivers if you intend to flash. They are supplied with the the flashtool package.
i've installed gordon's gate drivers and the pc recognize the phone in flash mode but fastboot mode still not working
here's the log, first i tried with flash mode and then with fastboot mode but it says error:

Are you running Windows 7, I had a nightmare with the usb drivers-even the Gordon gate one didn't work-I found the solution in the arc forum, sorry but I can't find the post I think users name was lollylops, check your device manager to see if you have s1boot driver problem if so then you need the different drivers

yes i'm running windows 7, and i've found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1274199 and downloaded drivers for s1boot fastboot from that thread. Now, how do I install them? I've an x86 folder, ethernet, modem, usbwin, i386.... i've no idea, but i think we're close

Unfortunately I have the memory of a goldfish, I think that you have to put the phone into fastboot then goto device manager on the pc and update the drivers for s1boot by pointing to where you have put the drivers,

I had a nightmare with this, it seems some versions of Windows 7 are fussy with certain fastboot drivers, it sound like the op is struggling the same way I did, I was close to giving up until I came across drivers that worked

Ok i managed how to install them through device manager. I select the folder but it says (translated to english) : "Device's driver has been found, but an error occurred during the installation. Android ADB Interface - Impossible to find the specified file. WHAT!?
EDIT: PROBLEM SOLVED here's how: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1299729 i dowloaded drivers from here and they worked but now i've some QUESTIONS:
1)With unlocked bootloader (i kept drm certificates) and root, can i update trough OTA?
2)Now i'm going to flash doomlord kernel: has it the recovery integrated?

I think you would be safer flashing firmware from here, ota will, probably brick your own.
Doomlord kernel has got recovery, after installing boot up and when the doomlord picture appears

Hi there,
First I have installed CWM with the method I had to use the codes "adb reboot bootloader"... and so on and It worked perfectly.
I wanted to install the Envi ROM and on the tutorial there was said I first should install the Base ROM and then after restarting I should install the Envi ROM. After installing the Base ROM my CWM was gone. Now I can't install it anymore. I tried the following install methods:
-The one I've mentioned already <- Doesnt work because my PC says it does not know the command abd
-The install.bat method <- Does not work because my phone does not get recognized, despite I have all the drivers installed.
-The RecoverX method <- Does not work because my phone does not get recognized, despite I have all the drivers installed.
-The RecoverX app <- The says that installing CWM worked normally, but still I have no CWM
-The install.bat method directly on my phone <- SManager does not run the .bat even I ran it with the proper rights and adjustments

Did You try flashing a kernel with pre installed recovery? You can flash it using fastboot directly or flashtool.
Also, the command is adb, not "abd". Plus if windows doesn't recognize adb command, then the adb.exe is not in the folder from where You are running the command prompt from.

You can install the DoomKernel, it has pre installed recovery. You can flash it via flashtool fastboot. But do note, You have to be on stock ROM.
adb.exe is usually in the flashing files.

To connect Your phone in fastboot, You have to switch off Your phone. Then press & hold volume up and then connect the phone to Your PC.

I know that and I did that, but still my device cannot be detected.
I started Ubuntu (Live CD) installed adb und fastboot and tried it there... same result?
Is something wrong is my phone?
I don't think the drivers have been installed properly. Install fastboot and flash mode drivers from flashtool, it has drivers in it's folder. Else if even that doesn't work, install "Sony Update Service", and it will install required drivers.
Edit: I'm giving You instructions for Windows, are You using Ubuntu or was that just a trial?

I am using Windows. I installed from flashtool and I did not work, I am gonna try Sony Update Service now.
I tried Ubuntu because somebody said me that Ubuntu will detect all the drivers automaticly and there would be no detection problem...
Edit: After INSTALLING Update Service, I still get the same Message "Device not found" Should I run my phone through update Service too?
Why did it not work on my phone with smanager?

I suppose your phone is Xperia S.
If you have unlocked the boot loader , then Sony Official Softwares wont work. If your boot loader is still locked and this error is occurring then its mistake from your side.
I guess by Base ROM you meant official ROM. So if you were on official ROM, did you check for Root Privileges, Busy Box is installed etc ??
Im using Xperia Ion so the steps might be different but results all are same.
Try different methods, it will work.

By Base Rom I mean the following; I wanted to use the Envi Rom and for this Rom a Base Rom should be installed first.
I have unlocked Bootloader. Busybox is installed and Root Priviliges are given. Before installing the Base ROM I used the APP "Smanager" and I ran the install.sh with the app and then the CWM was there. But now that doesnt work anymore and DeliverX does also not work.
And all methods which require connection to PC won't work because those methods say my device is not detected or connected. I installed CWM on my phone and on other phones several times and never I had thode problems...

Do one thing, check Your Device Manager. Disconnect Your phone, Open Device Manager, then connect Your phone again. See if the Device Manager gets refreshed. If it does, Your device is being connected to the PC. Then check for Xperia S or anything related to Sony under "Other Devices" or other similar areas. Then right click on it to install drivers.

I just did that.
My phone is getting showed under "Tragbare Geräte" which means portable devices. When I right click on it says:
-Update drivers
-Deactivate
-Uninstall
-Looking for changed hardware
-Properties
If I click on Update drivers the message shows, that the best driver is already installed.

Since (I was told in an other Android Forum it is like this) that on Ubuntu, Ubuntu recognizes my phone automaticly and still I installed the drivers there and it didnt not work and since neither RecoverX on my phone nor smanager on my phone dit install CWM I think the problem is my phone not the PC...

Could You translate what the yellow mark text is? I think the device is recognized wrongly or wrong drivers were installed for it. Unfortunately, I don't know much about Ubuntu.

What do you mean with yellowk mark text? I see no yellow text...
If you mean the 3 devices which have a yellow sign:
- Ethernet Controller should be clear.
- Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-inferface - I do not know what that is.
- Basissystemgerät - means somehting like basic system device
With other ROMS I was able to install a CWM from my phone (with the deliverx app or a script manager app), but for this rom this doesnt work anymore.
So is there a way to install an other ROM without CWM (and when I have this ROM I would try if installing CWM directly with an app works again)?

Unfortunately Your device is not being detected as an adb device. The problem would be solved if somehow it is detected in adb or if You are able to install recovery from cell. I will try to check out more. Say, did You try the goo manager app, twrp manager or rom maanager to install recovery?

I will Try Goo and TWRPG Manager. Rom Manager does not work with Xperia S I already tried it.
EDIT:
1. Goo Manager does not work. I installed the Open Recovery.img and then I tried to install the ROM (eXistenZ V2 Black) but it only restarts my phone <- Does not work
2. TWRPG Manager does not even the TWRPG Recovery.
3. Previously I used this App to install CWM and it worked. Now I used the App and the App said installed CWM worked but There is no CWM on my phone (or it can't get started neither manually by pressing up nor automatically with an App which reboots me into CWM). <-Does no work.
4. On other time I used this App to run the cwm-install.ch on my phone. It worked and CWM was on my phone. Now the script does not run and therefore CWM also cannot be installed with this method. <- Does not work.
5. After all that, today I tried to install an official Rom with Sony PC Companion (and then starting from 0 with an other ROM, to try all the other stuff again) but It says I cannot install the official ROM Update. because, I do not have the official ROM installed, <- Does not work
I dont know what to do anymore.
I am using Windows 8.1

It is because the TWRP version which you use doesn't seem to support ADB. Try the same using CWM

or perhaps you need to install the drivers. download flashtool, install flashtool, boot to disabling driver signature in win8 (google how to do this), install flashtool's driver (i chose everything that has xperia s in it ), reboot your phone to twrp, plug your phone to pc. open device manager, then you'll see that there's exclamation mark in xperia s device, choose install/update driver, choose browser my computer, choose let me pick, choose android adb (sony adb). then simply type adb devices in cmd to test it.
that's all. perhaps there are some steps that arent necessary, but that's how i remember i done it.
good luck
So i wanted to install CyanogenMod on my xperia z1 Compact that i rarely use anymore.. but in order to do that i need to unlock my bootloader and stuff.. but in order to do that i have to get fastboot to work but whenever i try any commands i get <Waiting for any Device> or nothing at all.. i cant install the driver either (not sure if i install it using device manager but if i do then its failing.. a lot) Anyways any help would be awesome xD

After Flashtool installs, go to drivers folder, (in flashtool folder), and run drivers.exe. check boxes for 'fastboot' 'flash mode' and 'Rhine' drivers. When done installing drivers, connect phone in fastboot mode, and you'll get a 'installing device software' popup. Click on 'skip Windows update search', and drivers will install. Then run fastboot commands.

It's not htat simple for me as I'm not using Windows, but Linux. Where folders end up is strange. I'll try dual booting windows once I get a better usb drive that allows me to install windows without an error.

Yes, fastboot is usable.However, when I do the usual vbmota whatever disable thing and twrp boot, it simply doesn't boot into TWRP at all. I can go into the Pixel Experience recovery by the usual recovery keys, but I don't think I can do much of anything with that.

Hi! After installed flashtool, then it's directory contains a flashtool_driver sub directory ( or something similar ) and there will be a "driver pack" . Just use the latest one.
