Flashboot is not a software , you can flash kernel using flashtool.
You need flashboot to flash kernel, If your bootloader is locked you don't have access to fastboot.
So unlock boot loader first
Read this tutorial.
Its easy.

Read this to learn how to use fastboot in flashtool to flash kernels: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...img / kernel.elf / kernel.sin using flashtool.
Remember your bootloader needs to be unlocked! And that kernel isn't auto rooted as far as I know, it's just stock kernel with CWM. But there is a file you can flash with that CWM to root, Doom has linked to it I think. There's another way to root as well, bset check a few more threads.

You need to use fastboot and flash a kernel like DoomKernel it gives you a cwm ,root, and OC...
But this is not development
Thanks!

Excuse me for my English. Now without root but with unlocked bootloader could I run fastboot mode and flash DooMKernel?
fastboot flash boot boot.img (boot.img - DoomKernel)
Yes you can flash with fastboot. There are some nice images you can flash too on top of doom kernal
Check the dev forums

yep flash the doomkernel
Hey guys, my phone is currently at 4.0.2.A.0.62 and it is boot loader unlocked. But I have complete no idea how to root my phone. And after I root, I would like to have my phone's UI look like the Ice Cream Sandwich look, but not the actual firmware, because I heard that Xperia Arc cannot handle ICS from the official sony ericsson website. So if anyone of you guys can help. It would be very helpful. Cheers
You can't use tools to root .62 firmware coz sony did something not being able to root it.. As you mentioned that your bootloader is unlocked why don't you flash a custom kernel like Doomkernel and a smooth rom like Arconium and it'll do wonders for you.. Then you can install themes to get the ICS look.... Because, i have done all of these and presently using this setup!

Hey yeah thanks mate. But where can I get the kernel from, can you post the link? And I've got the flash tool software, so do I just flash the kernel from there? Cheers

Above s the kernel link, download both the kernel and the libraries.. Yes you can flash kernel using flashtool..Copy the .img file to pc, Get into fastboot mode by switching off the mobil, then press the menu button and connect to pc.. Flashtool will say that device connected in fastboot mode.. Now go to flash option and select fastboot mode, from the toolbox select kernel to flash and point to the img file.. The kernel will be flashed.. Now go into recovery and flash the libraries you downloaded from the kernel thread or else wi fi wont work! Get it?

No image tutorial. Plain text.
DRM keys are Digital Rights Management keys. You will lose these when you unlock your bootloader. TrackID and some other (not really important) Sony apps won't work.
So, first, go to http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/ and download the tools needed.
There you have all the steps needed to unlock bootloader.
After you've unlocked bootloader head down to the CWM thread and download the flashable file. You have the instructions at the thread.
Flash CWM and the phone will boot in CWM mode now. Remember to put the ROM you want to flash on sdcard, or put kernel.sin file so you can boot back in the system.
Download the Root.zip flashable file for cwm (you'll find it in most of the root threads), and put it in the root of storage.
Then flash the CWM through fastboot, and the phone will boot in CWM recovery.
Navigate to "Install zip from sdcard -> Choose zip from sdcard -> "root.zip" (use the volume buttons to navigate and power to select).
Select Yes and your phone will be rooted.
If you want, you can download a kernel like Advanced ICS which will autoroot your phone when you flash it.
If you don't flash another kernel, then power off the device and boot into fastboot mode, and flash kernel.sin.
Your phone will boot into the system and will be rooted

That's not how you unlock bootloader, that's how you check if your bootloader is unlockable. Head over to Bootloader Unlock thread and unlock your bootloader, then flash a CWM recovery through fastboot, and flash a kernel which will root your device.
There is Jelly Bean for our device, AOKP, CM10, PA etc etc.. Use the search button!

Is your boatloader unlocked?
Sent from my Neo V using xda-developers app
The "root" in flashtool refers to the bootloader. In this case if yout bootloader is "not rooted" then that means you have a locked bootloader. Unlock your bootloader if you want to flash custom kernels.

As the person above has said, you can first flash a ftf file of .96 with Flashtool, but you don't need to follow that rooting procedure since your bootloader is unlocked. All you have to do, is flash Doomkernel V6 and then flash this zip in recovery - http://d-h.st/M10

After reading your reply I wonder, if the following method is possible?
1) flash Doomkernel V6 in CWM
2) reboot
3) flash .96 also in CWM
...I try to avoid using Flashtool because I'm always geting troubles with drivers...
