Please help: flashing ROM

I read the wiki and all the other stuff that I was supposed to before I tried to flash a ROM.
I am stuck on a step and could use some help. I downloaded the ROM to my cpu. I noticed it was a .rar file, so i also downloaded winrar so I could open it.
Execute the .exe file you downloaded with the ROM. (If the ROM you downloaded only comes with an nbh file, download the CustomRUU for the Kaiser here. Put KaiserCustomRUU.exe and you nbh in the same directory and run KaiserCustomRUU.exe)

I cant get past this step. Can someone please advise.

don't know why u would get stuck ...
create new folder and place the .nbh and kaisercustomruu.exe in same folder on pc. make sure phone connected to pc via active sync and connection is established (icon turns green in actuve sync). now run the kaisercustomruu.exe from pc and let the action began.
p.s. i do sincerely hope u flashed hardspl onto ur device be4 flashing. don't know what that is? plz stop flashing and read wiki again for ur sake.

People just don't read. Did you try extracting the contents in Winrar to your desktop?

I did the hardspl already.
when i try to extract the folders it asks me for a password.

passwords are usually located on the first or second post of the rom you are trying to flash.

Found it. thanx!

Mod Note: This question should have been posted in the thread specific to the Rom you downloaded in the ROM Development Forum.
New thread for existing issue is a no-no.

What you need to do is:
- start your phone
- Unlock it
- Connect it to you PC with the USB cable
- Copy the supersu.zip file on the SD card of you phone, for exemple create a new folder called "SuperUser" on the root of your sd card
- Restart your phone in recovery
- choose to install zip from sdcard
- go in the /sdcard/SuperUser folder, choose the supersu.zip file and flash it

Hi,
If you are using latest version of flashtool ie ver 0.9.18.5 or above, you have to move contents of firmwares folder (all ftf files) to your user profile directory.
For example if you are on windows 7 folder will be C:\Users\username\.flashtool\.
Other possible reason that ftf file is not listed is that your ftf file is corrupted. It happened to me as well 1-2 times.

I would suggest you not to use ftf file provided by someone else. It is quite easy to create your own ftf for your device and before starting, please update your flashtool to latest version available 0.9.18.6 because it provides integration with XperiFirm. If you don’t like to update, you can still create your own ftf file using old version of flashtool but you have to download and install XperiFirm from http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...xperifirm-xperia-firmware-downloader-t2834142.
Follow the instructions carefully.
XperiFirm Section:
1. Select your handset on the left pane. You can then choose the firmware for your region/carrier in the middle pane. The pane on the right side will show you which firmware is available for that region. Click on it to download the file.
2. You will find a number of files starting with ‘FILE’ in the download location. Please take note of this location. If this folder include ‘fwinfo.xml’ then manually delete it before continuing to the flashtool section. If you do not delete this file, your ftf will not work, it will corrupt.
Flashtool Section:
1. Launch Flashtool
2. Click Tools – Bundles – FILESET Decrypt.
3. In Source Folder, Browse for the location of files you have noted in Step 2 of XperiFirm Section.
4. Select All files under Available files column and hit -> arrow to move all files to convert column and then click Convert. This can take a few minutes so please be patient and wait till it is completed. After this is complete, a new Bundler window will pop up automatically. If it does not, you can manually open Bundler by going Tools –- Bundles -- Create.
5. Select the ‘Device’ box which will bring up a box allowing you to select your device. You can then type in the region in Branding field and the build number in version field.
6. Under Folder List, select all files except files with .ta extension and hit -> button to move selected files to right side and click Create button. This is very important to exclude .ta files else you could brick your phone.
7. Flashtool will now start parsing files and once complete you can look for your newly create ftf file in Firmwares folder.
For better understanding I have uploaded Images as well, you can go through images one by one.
Hit Thanks if you find it helpful.

There is a new, easier option. Use the tool "Emma". It's a tool from Sony especially made to get a phone back to factory defaults. After this, flash whatever you want
I should put this text into my signature... I've written it just a minute ago into another thread where a similar question was asked

You say that, but I've spent the last 2 hours trying to figure how to get Emma to recognise the TFT file...
Yes, including googling. No way to point Emma to the TFT file I want to flash.
