Nexus Root Toolkit, re-flash stock (bricked option), boot custom recovery (advanced menu and only temporary), install permanent custom recovery, wipe caches (Dalvik, under advanced section, Cache, and data.. Do not wipe sd as that is where all your files are.. Always make a backup of your rom incase you mess it up and if you want to flash addition zips on an existing rom you only need to wipe dalvik and cache as wiping data will mess up your installed rom..

Hey there guys, this thread is noob friendly and is made especially for those of you who just got their first Sony phone and decided to flash a custom kernel or rom.
I am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone, use this tutorial at your own risk.
Things you'll need:
- Xperia L with Unlocked Bootloader(ofcourse haha) Look here on how to unlock your bootloader.
- Flashtool
Installing a kernel (This tutorial is for 4.2.2 only, that is 15.3.A.0.26+)
1. Download phantom kernel from here (both Phantom_modules.zip and the boot.img) Place the "Phantom_modules.zip" into your phone (sd card or internal storage) Or you can use any other kernel's boot.img
2. After installing flashtool, or if you already have it installed, open it and click on the Flash icon (the first icon from the left)
4. When it asks you to choose a bootmode, select fastboot mode and press ok.
5. After all this has done turn of your phone (Xperia L).
6. Get out your usb cable and plug it into your computer while holding the "volume up" button. (notice your phone will glow blue below, this means that it is in fastboot mode.)
7. On the pop up window where it says "By Doomlord", choose "select kernel to flash". Locate your boot.img file that you just downloaded a while ago and select it.(Notice if the boot.img file is not showing up in the file menu, on the right cornor make sure the file type is set as "*.img")
8. Be patient and wait till the kernel has been flashed, should take no longer than 10 seconds.
9. Now select "Reboot device into system" and wait for your phone to power on, now once it's powered on without any problems turn it off. Now turn on your phone and wait for a purple glow then hold down the "volume down"button. Now you'll be in CWM (clock work recovery mod) Once you're here select install from zip. Locate your "phantom_modules.zip"(or the zip file, of your kernel choice) and select yes. Wait for it to be flashed and then go back and, reboot sytem.
10. From here you can flash any kernel/rom via CWM, like Thunderzap or civic. Just boot into cwm, select install from zip and locate your kernel zip file and hit install.

Hit thanks if this helped you out.
I don't think that's needed to be Phantom Kernel, or any other in specific, since the kernel provide a recovery with the possibility to flash a zip, it's ok (correct if I'm wrong).
I had unlocked my bootloader, then flashed the boot.img inside of the flashable zip from ThunderZap, then, rebooted to recovery right way, and flashed the entire package from ThunderZap.
Regards and thanks for the helpfull post!

No probs
Well it was the first kernel for 4.2.2 and that's why I put it up instead. I know we can use the boot.img from thunderzap too but if I'm not specific enough most of the noobs wont understand. I also chose that kernel because it comes with a recovery so then you can just flash other kernels via cwm.
Complicated - with properly installed drivers you can start flashtool with usb-cable plugged in. After clicking the flash icon choose "Reboot into fastboot mode (via ADB)".
When the phone is in fastboot mode (blue led) choose "Select kernel to flash". No need to turn off the phone and play with cable and vol-down button...

Sorry for noob question, but in step 9, can I skip the flashing "phantom_modules.zip" part and keep the stock kernel?

Ignore this. I thought it was CWM only. I should have researched more before installing this. But I installed it and it is working good.
Xperia L 4.2.2 c105 15.3.A.1.14

Yes!
Thank you very much for this useful guide.
But I' ve two things to say:
1_If I didn't flash the phantom kernel can I flash a custom ROM.
2_Please the link for boot.IMG is not working they don't find the file could give me a working link.
And thank you very very much.

Return to stock and try again. There's a guide to flash stock rom here somewhere. You can search for it.

Flash any (4.2.2) stock rom and try again. That's why your WiFi probably isn't working. Either that or you didn't flash the kernel zip file (ex thunderzap4.1.zip) after fast booting the kernel img.

WiFi now working
I am also facing the same issue where wifi is not working on any Rom. So after following the steps mentioned earlier. What exactly should be done like boot to recovery then flash gapps and then reboot. Once booted flash boot.img from the Rom and then boot to recovery to flash the full kernal zip package..?

I have a HUGE problem. Please help me ASAP!
I just flashed my Xperia L to CM 12.1. I was already on CM 12 before. So I went into recovery, wiped everything and installed the new ROM from zip. Everything worked fine except for the network signal. I was getting no network signal at all. So, when I rebooted the phone, I saw that the ThunderZap kernel was also removed. I tried to flash the kernel using flashtool, but this particular variant has 2 .img files (bootlp and bootkk). I flashed them both using the FlashtTool. Now, when I reboot my phone, all I see is the ThunderZap logo. Please help me ASAP, as this is my only primary driver phone.
I'm looking for an update firmware for my Z3 cuz i want to flash the androplus kernel.. i'm on the 23.0.A.2.98 build, and my device is a D6603 model.
I searched in this forum but i can only find 23.0.A.2.98 build, any suggestion?

Yup got the rom but dnt know the proper steps n dnt wanna brick it if uu could show the steps it would be really nice
Open the flashtool and connect phone in flash mode.
Click the thunder button and choose flash mode
Another window opens
Choose select firmware to flash
Select the firmware you have downloaded
Then click flash... It takes 6 to 7 minutes.
After that unplug your phone and power it on . .
Note: If you want to wipe data tick the wipe cache and wipe data and click flash
That's all bro ?
I have an Xperia Z5 E6653 and while trying to remove root i sort of "accidentally" wiped my firmware. To restore my phone I've tried flashing stock firmware (multiple times mind you) tried the Xperia companion to no avail. When trying to boot up the phone it just boots up and powers itself down automatically while flashing a red light. I can access Flashmode and Fastboot. When using the Xperia companion to repair my device it just gives me an error to try again. At this moment I'm not sure what to do. If somebody could kindly help me it would be greatly appreciated and if you need further details just ask me ! :good:
