flashtool problem

[noisebomb44]

i have a xperia L laying around that i want to install android 4.4.2 on

ive already rooted it and unlocked its bootloader, but i cant flash a kernel onto it

the kernel im trying to flash is a IMG file, and im using flashtool to flash the kernel onto it, but everytime i try, i get this error: 

13/009/2014 17:09:50 - INFO  - Selected kernel (boot.img or kernel.sin): C:\Users\noise\Desktop\phone fix\kernal\boot.img13/009/2014 17:09:50 - INFO  - Flashing selected kernel13/009/2014 17:09:51 - INFO  - sending 'boot' (13920 KB)...13/009/2014 17:09:51 - INFO  - OKAY [  0.440s]13/009/2014 17:09:51 - INFO  - writing 'boot'...13/009/2014 17:09:51 - INFO  - FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)13/009/2014 17:09:51 - INFO  - finished. total time: 0.441s13/009/2014 17:09:51 - INFO  - FASTBOOT Output:  sending 'boot' (13920 KB)...OKAY [  0.440s]writing 'boot'...FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)finished. total time: 0.441s

are you using the correct command, Fastboot Flash boot "File name".img

are you using the correct command, Fastboot Flash boot "File name".img

in flashtool im pressing

flash drive, fastboot mode, reboot into fastboot mode (via ADB), reboot into fastboot mode (via fastboot), select kernel to flash, then i just select the img, and get the error

also, if i do it in windows console, it gives me "fastboot is no recognized" error

Ask on XDA forum

type fastboot devices and see if it shows your device

 

also make sure USB Debugging is enabled then type (while the phone is on) Adb reboot-bootloader then fastboot devices if its there type the command if it does not work try replacing the USB cable or port

do you mean that i should type fastboot devices in CMD, because it does not work

i have already enabled USB debugging, and if i type that command, i get the recognized error again

Do you have android SDK set up?

 

Make sure you shift right click, then open command window here, in the same folder you have the Adb.exe Fastboot.exe files for the SDK. Should be c:\Android\Platform-tools

Issues like that can be pretty random, have you tried simply redownloading the kernel file or trying another USB port?

That often worked with my Xperia Z

will try redownloading kernel, but my USB port is working properly

also, if i try to do it (via flashtool) in hotboot mode, it gives me the error "status read failed too many links"
