Here is what you have to do.
If you still have your MiniCM6 backup, restore it using a recovery. Full wipe, wipe cache and dalvik cache then power off your phone. Then, use Flashtool to flash back stock kernel.
If you do not have the backup, download MiniCM6, boot into recovery, full wipe, wipe cache nd dalvik cache, then flash MiniCM6. Power off and use Flashtool to flash stock kernel.
Done (hopefully)
Next time post in Q&A section.

I already told it at first

I don't know. I think the question should be more clear
I'm sorry for that, I don't know and don't understand about flash tool or flash kernel..I'm really don't understand, I try to find answer and still don't know...could you explain me? Why do we do??
Sent from my E15i using XDA
First tell me which rom do you want to flash ?
We do the flashtool stuff if we want to install a kernel or sometimes rom.. But you can install rom through recovery also.
Look we use flashtool to:
1-flash new kernels
2-install recovery on stock kernel.
3-rooting the phone
4- unlocking the bootloader (last version)
5-installing apps.
6-creating bundles if we want to restore Eclair
----------//-------
To flash a new ROM:
if your bootloader is unlocked u flash a new kernel and then using recovery u flash the Zip file which is the ROM.
If u cannot unlock your bootloader then u cannot change your kernel and must use ROMS which support stock kernel.

Well he can use xrecovery if unlocking bootloader is not possible (?)
Did I tell anything wrong?
Yes he should use Xrecovery to flash new ROMs.
But he can't change the kernel or the phone will be bricked (softly)
Sent from my XPERIA using XDA Premium.
Oh yes..Lets see if he can unlock his BL or not
You didn't say anything wrong
If u don't know about flashtool this means that you are in stock kernel....
Two ways
First if you had made a backup with cwm you can restore it with cwm,that will replace the current rom with the one you had backed up
second,if you haven't made backup then install your old rom just as you installed it first time,put it in SD,go to cwm or xrecovery ,full wipe,wipe dalvik, install zip from SD....

Maybe he never tried to unlock bootloader...and that's the reason he doesn't know anything about flashtool

Yes,what did I tell?!
If he is on stock kernel there is no need to tell him how to flash kernels......
Sent from my X8 using xda premium
I mean if he can unlock his bootloader he can flash kernels.
And I say maybe the reason his bootloader is unlocked is that he never tried to unlock it since he is a noooooob.

Depends if your backup includes the boot.
If it does then yes, if not then no
But its not a problem, if your backup does not include the kernel then just flash the kernel you are on now...you know which one you are on,
I guess I am on stock as its the rooted stock rom I am on, where do I find just the kernel?

Just flash a stock ftf and exclude everyting except the kernel...I have one backed up somewhere, but not here...I can post it another time, but you can just do what i said.
Also, look in yout backup file. If it includes a boot.img you should be fine to flash that recovery image and it should restore the kernel

thats a link to a stock kernel, its not mine, but it says its stock unmodified...
Hi,
I have stock ROM (ANDROID VERSION UP TO DATE) and stock kernal, and I want to change it. So my question are do I need to flash custom kernal first then flash custom ROM or other way around?
Just read the op of the Rom, normally your dev gives instructions.
But in most cases first flash the recommend kernel via flashtool, after that your Rom.

I installed a CWM Recovery and it deleted my stock ROM so I decided to go and install PAC ROM which I found the WiFi doesn't work so I used Sony's flashtool to go back to stock ROM.
I want to be able to make a backup of the stock ROM then install another ROM such as CM
How do I install CWM and keep stock ROM?
Sent from my GT-I9305T using XDA Free mobile app
I'm not sure what you did, but installing a recovery shouldn't affect your rom.
In any case, XZDualRecovery is what you need.

Yeah I must admit it is very strange.

I think you installed non-supported CWM. Try to download the exact one for your phone and flash it.
