Hey all

Trying to install a stable/snapshot version of cyanogen mod for my xperia V (more specifically: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?type=snapshot&device=tsubasa) and im following their guide to do it: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_tsubasa

However, when i get to 5th step on the "Installing Cyanogenmod on Sony Devices" telling me to "Open a terminal on the PC and enter the following: fastboot -i 0xfce flash boot boot.img ", it doesn't work because fastboot simply replies Access is denied and i have no idea why, i'm running my command promt (CMD) as administrator and i'm 100% sure that i own all the files and folders on my computer... anyone know why and have a solution?

And Yes my Bootloader is unlocked, however, my phone is NOT rooted, because of what i can see according to guide its not necessary to do so, or at least not yet, and if this is the case, please tell me and i will root my phone and try again.. aswell as writing to the authors of the wiki article and piss a bit on them for not saying that its required.

Are you sure you're in fastboot mode? Try with flashtool and see if you get the same error.
