My first custom ROM flashing related queries - Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am using Xperia SP C5303 with stock 4.3 (build 12.1.A.1.207) and CWM installed .
I want to unlock the boot loader via flashtool which I know how to but after that I want to use ArchXperia LP Edition v1.2.4 ROM in my SP.
Guys please tell me after unlocking the BL what should I do?

Can I flash without custom kernel? I unlocked my BL already.

If you are following the guide, the custom kernel was intended to give you an access to a recovery. Once you flashed the ROM zip the custom kernel will be gone and you will be running the kernel that was packaged with the custom ROM that you have chose to flash.

You can install custom ROM
You can NOT install custom kernel
If it's made compatible with stock kernels, then sure, go right ahead try GingerDX...safest GB Rom for stock kernel
You can unlock your bootloader, but not for free.

[Q] Please Help in Installing JellyBean

I have Sony ericsson w8 and I have flash it with x8 kernal (2.0.0.A.53) and installed GingerDx. Now I am putting Jelly bean but the naA jb kernal or Ics kernal is showing 'flashing aborted' while flashing . Neither ICS nor JB is installing on my X8. Now i am running gingerDx..
So please help me in installing JB or ICS custom kernal with full procedure.
Thankyou....
Easy method,
1. flash nAa jb 05
2. flash any jb rom u want as mentioned in thread
3.flash nAa jb 06
Or you can workaround by editing the rom zip but above method is easier
Happy Flashing JB

Firstly...have u unlocked your phone's bootloader? Jelly bean or ICS on X8/W8 works only a custom kernel....which u can install if u have a unlocked bootloader....if your bootloader is not unlocked u cannot flash any other kernel.....

use s1tool to check bl status. if you're flashing naa's jb kernel the first time you need to format data cache system apart from the wipes, then flash a compatible rom.

Can my phone sony ericsson has already bootloader unlocked. is it possible??
no, sony ericsson hadn't been that much of "friendly" to AOSP, you need to check it first with s1tool then if your mfg date is 11w29 below you can unlock it

That ROM requires you to have a Custom Kernel installed.
More specifically, you need 2.6.32.61-nAa-jb-06 Kernel

Not all Custom ROMs need a Custom Kernel. Just read the instructions on how to Install the ROM, if it requires a Custom Kernel it will be stated.

The Kernel for the Official CyanogenMod ROM is inside the zip file, Its the one named "kernel.sin". I wouldnt recomened the Official CyanogenMod ROM since there are a lot of other ROMs better then that one, like GingerDX and MiniCM.

Pardon me it's doomlord's advance stock kernel, mistyped it.
Are you on unlocked bootloader? If yes then only flash the kernel or else you will brick the phone

I have locked bootloader but I plan to unlock it, this is why I inquire about the compatibility of the Kernel with a custom ROM.

If you are going to use it on unlock bootloader then use the DOOMkernel for Xperia SP.
Unlocked bootloader supports various features and tweaks on doomkernel, skip the doomlord's advance stock kernel flash

You can install custom ROM on your stock kernel too as long as bootloader is unlocked.
Unlocked bootloader opens access to more ROM's and can help in flashing Kernels.

Thus I could install DooMKernel with Cyanogenmod for example ?
