One packaged or Multiple packaged, with/without bootloader? can i flash XXLPT or better GB?

you can flash any stock rom its up to you i have installed both at different times just remember with an ics stock rom once installed do not wipe as the risk of a brick is greater if you are not at all sure find dr ketans guide on how to flash and root

Custom kernel flashing requires an unlocked bootloader. Hoping that your phone is new, it would be locked!
First install the drivers (XZ drivers, flash mode and fastboot drivers) from drivers folder of flashtool (For flashtool, download the beta version from Xperia Z Original Development forum page than the 0.9.10.1 version- it doesn't support Z)
Next download the firmware of your choice. Make sure it isn't corrupted!
Switch off your mobile but DON'T connect!
Paste the downloaded firmware in firmwares folder of flashtool.
Open flashtool, select flash mode and select the firmware you copied!
It says that it is preparing files, let it do (about 5-10 mins)
After that, a dialog pops up saying that to connect the device, now hold the volume down button and try connecting the device. The flashing should start!

Thxs for your answer.
I got it restored to original.
I just wont to install the cm 10.1 kernel and then the cm10.1 rom.
They say I have to extract the kernel,when I unrar the firmware do I use the boot.img?
How do I do extract the kernel on Sony?
When I connect to flashtool it doesnt give me the option to unlock,so i presume its unlocked?
How can I check?
Ive been flashing my Note for a year now,but this is somewhat different.

To go onto cm 10 or as op (4.2.2) you need to unlock your bootloader
If you want to use Cm roms First you need to know if you can unlock it by dialing *#*#7378423#*#* >service info > configuration and look under bootloader unlock no means can't be unlocked, yes means you can, if you do unlock it make sure you back up your TA partition
There are tutorials on how to unlock bl and even on Sony unlock how to do it
Edit: to try, try and flash doom lords Xperia v6 kernel if it fails then you are still locked

need some help flashing a rom

i'm following steps to install monxdifieds rom and in the instructions it says
"Turn off device. (Hold power button + vol up until vibrates 3 times) [or use recovery turn off device option, if any]
Flash latest Sony's firmware (FTF) matching current latest monxDIFIED base rom using flashtools. Uncheck all WIPE options and exclude all EXCEPT KERNEL & BASEBAND to get latest matched kernel & baseband."
I don't fully understand what it means to flash sony's firmware matching current latest monxdified bas rom, could someone explain to me what this means? how would i go about flashing the sony firmware?

you need to download the "flash tools program" and download the .244 stripped firmware(link in yuga konami thread) then put the .244 firmware file in the flashtools firmware folder then flash the firmware before of after you flash the rom with flashtool
to get in recovery you either hold volume up or down(depending on if your using twrp or cwm) when the green light comes on

ok, so I wiped my phone clean before flashing the rom then flashed the stripped rom, but now my wifi isn't working. The wifi toggle is greyed out.

did you flash the .244 kernel?

yep, in the end I just backup all my stuff, wiped the whole phone and returned it to stock, rooted it again, and flashed the custom rom again. problem solved!

dont forget to turn on the Debugging mode !!

Download the .290 FW from here for your model and use Flashtool to flash back to .290. Few Tips: Switch off your phone and when it is off, hold volume down and connect to PC via USB, let Windows install drivers for Flashmode, open Flashtool, before that put the FTF in flashtool folder then click flash and select the right FTF, leave the Flashtool in default with Wipe Data, Appslog and Cache checked and uncheck everything else, now flash, hold volume down all the time, when the process of the flashing start on the green bar you can leave the volume down. Done.

[Need Help] [Wrong ROM flash] Xperia Z won't turn on.

So I flashed the cm11 ROM for my sony Xperia Z aaaaand, The phone won't turn on at all. Then I realised that I flashed whole .zip package, without extracting boot.img kernel. So I flashed whole thing without kernel and now my phonewon't turn on at all (I know I am idiot). It just showing a red ledlight whereverI am conneting it to charger or PC.
Can u please help me guys? What should I do?

Well, you know the .zip package that you can download from the cm site? There is a boot.img file inside. But insted of extracting it and flash it by the flashtool on the computer, I flashed the whole package (rom + kernel which were inside one .zip file) by cwm on my phone.
[EDIT]
I am trying to repair it by updating the software via Pc companion. I'll let you know if it's worked or not where it will finish downloading update.

@Saguri please download any ROM made for xperia z..pull out the kernel (boot.IMG) connect your phone in fast boot mod(by pressing the volume up key first and then connecting the USB) blue led will light up...now flash the boot.IMG with the help of flashtools ...downland any ftf file for xperia z
..flash it via flash tool but in flash mod and u will get your phone revived back

@Vishalkris thanks, the method with flashtool worked, i downloaded stock rom for my xperia, everything is working now, i am able to use my phone again, thanks.
PROBLEM SOLVED, this thread can be deleted now. Thanks again to everyone for help.
