yeah I know it was really tough for you to gather everything in one place. But I think as this thread is a reference to other guides I think you should sum up some of the most important & useful things in one place to make this thread more supportive to people who find it difficult where should they start from. So make this thread providing clear concepts on bootloader,root,kernel,firmware etc 1st. Then guide them though by providing easiest methods to root on different firmwares & unlocking bootloader. You can also add guide how to flash ftf with flashtool, I just had these things in mind to tell you how you can improve this thread :) Later If I remember something else I will reply here

Try that:
1. Restore your stock rom in cwm
2. Select power off (or reboot system now)
3. Take off the battery and wait 15 seconds. Then reinsert the battery!
4. Hold volume up and while pressing volume up just connect your phone to the pc. Don't press power or any other button, just volume up and connect!
5. The blue led should light up now
6. Head over to the development forum and download a kernel for your stock rom (gb -> gb kernel, ics -> ics kernel)
7. Open flashtool and click on the flash -> fastboot mode -> select kernel to flash -> select the kernel working for your stock rom
8. Click okay and wait until it has finished (should take around 5 -10 seconds)
9. Disconnect your phone and press the power button

Now it should work fine ;)

If not, download the latest version of flashtool again and install all drivers from the flashtool installation folder -> drivers for all devices/modes again. Then do the steps as mentioned above :)

If that doesn't work either, post a flashtool log after connecting and trying to flash the new custom kernel, or try flashing the stock rom in flashmode again :good:

sir thats what im telling you. i cannot connect my phone in fastboot or flashmode (blue or green light) anymore.i tried so many times but as i connect my phone with vol+/vol- phone blinks green or blue light for fraction of seconds and after that it goes off n phone enters charging mode.
if you know how to handle this this kinda situation please suggest me something/ one more thing is pc companion detects phone as live with wlakman which is right but flashtool detects as xperia active. dont know what to do ans service center told me it will cost me about RS. 2000.
