[Q] Why do we need to flash boot.img for non stock roms?

Hey guys, i came from a HTC incredible S
it had AOSP roms as well and you just flashed the zip and it booted.
however here on the xperia z forums, i am reading that you need to flash the boot.img manually for AOSP roms
is there a reason for this? thanks

I think because the recovery is not working 100%

Yes because Sony's phone doesn't have a special partition for recovery that's why it's integrated with the kernel.

Boot.img is the kernel, you can only write to the boot partition in fast boot mode for Sony devices. Regardless of model, its the same for x10, arc, P, S, Z, etc

Xperia z stuck at sony logo

my xperia was on stock 4.1.2 rooted and bootloader unlocked , i tried to flash the new 4.2.2 to the phone using flash tool , but my mistake i used C6603 files instead of C6602 files , the firmware flashed ok from the zip file on the Sdcard , after that i flashed the stripped file from flashtool when the phone booted it got stuck on the Sony logo.
i have tried to flash TFTs using flash tool and it keeps aborting , i tried to use Sony pc suite and SUS but keeps failing with an error 2003
please help

Wise decision

Just cannot update :/

I bought a xperia Z. its shows an update on the phone but i just cant install it...it fails everytime. and even if i try to do it via pc companion. it says that the phone is running a modified firmware that cannot be updated.. So please if anyone can guide me on this..i just want pure stock from where i can install ota whenever it shows up. thanks.

Hi there Sir, try downloading the ftf of the firmware you want and then flash it through the use of a flashtool Sir

Yea, use flashtool to flash to any stock rom ftf, rmb to change the country in sony companion to your country so that you get the correct updates off your countries' telco

Thanks a lot guys.

Please provide some details about the situation you are having. Did you unlock the boot-loader before flashing the kernel?

When facing with this problems, it is recommenddd to immediately flash stock firmware upon shutdown of device. Use flashtool and flash ur device's stock firmware to your device quickly

Which Williams kernel? Cm ones cannot be used on existenz

I 100% guarantee it was the stock based kernel. Anyways, as it is still early in the morning here, I am just gonna write down some steps here. 1. Flash CWM for locked bootloader
2. Restore previous backup
3.See if it works?
4. Factory reset if it works
5. See if bootloader unlock allowed changed from yes to no and if yes unlock bootloader
6. Flash existenzultra
