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?

im so lost...this is my first time dealing with sony ion and i am confused on how to flash a recovery can some one help i read the threads on how to do it but its not detailed
You can't flash a recovery because you need to have a recovery to flash something.
You need to push the recovery onto your phone using adb.

how u do that
Are you rooted? If not first root your time phone from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29713944
Then connect your phone to PC and mark USB debuging under setting/development. After that just run install.bat file from in the CWM file you downloaded from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37462686

I was wondering if someone could help me out. i read the official sony instructions but I'm a noob and I don't understand what to do. can someone explain it better or make a detailed guide for me. Thanks in advance.
First install the android sdk. Then extract it and open it. Then click sdk folder then click platform-tools folder. Put the ics boot.img system.img and userdata.img in the platform tools folder. Then turn your phone off. Make sure your bootloader is unlocked. Hold down the search key while plugging the phone in and a blue light should be on. Then while holding right shift right click and then press open command window here. Then type in
'fastboot flash boot (name of the boot.img)' then type in 'fastboot flash system (name of the system.img)' then type 'fastboot flash userdata (Name of the userdata.img)' then type 'fastboot erase cache'. Exclude the apostrophes

That was the official way. It can also be done via flashtool. First go into fastboot mode and open flashtool. Then press the flash icon. Then press fastboot mode. Then press select kernel to flash. Then select the kernel. Then press select system to flash. Choose the system.img. Now reboot your phone and it is installed.

Ok I did the process but it bricked my phone, I unbricked it though. When I was flashing the .img, in the command, there was bad blocks encountered. What does this mean and how can I fix it?

My play gets bricked. I read the log and it says bad blocks.

You probably have a damaged bootloader.

I counted up all the bad blocks, there was a total of 14, but I think there is a way to fix it. I was reading online about it.

How do I successfully reboot LT28AT into recovery mode to flash cm10? Tapping volume up @ Sony logo does not seem to work
Sent from my LT28at using XDA Free mobile app
I would recommend installing custom recovery like CWM or TeamWin for booting into recovery and installing ROMs.
Remember, always make a backup first.
Installed the recovery and now it works
