[Q] Problem flashing the kernel (ftf)

Hello!
I have tried to install MiniCM on my SE x8 (E15i)
My phone is rooted, xrecovery is installed, busybox installed, Bootloader unlocked
I run this from xrecovery -> 1 : msm7227
2 : MiniCM7-2.1.6-X8
3 : gapps-gb-20110613-signed
BUT when I try to flash the kernel ( E15_nAa-07_2.6.29.6-nAa-07.ftf )
It says flashing kernel and then flashing aborded
I havent done this before! Please tell me where iam going wrong, Because I dont know how to do it step by step!
I had come to xda because my x10 was slow after update
and it became better than before thanks to xda team and members! So it gave me the courage to try this on my x8 which I was not using because of Android os 2.1..
Help will be appreciated .. I know xda wont let me down

if boot loader already unlocked
for what your run mssm7227?
just unlock it again then flash the ftf file
but becarefull if u playing with bootloader it can brick your phone

I don't you can unlock your bootloader by running msm7227 from xRecovery! Have you checked whether you are successful after executing msm7227 from PC? use flahstool-1 to check!

[Q] help update phone rom stock 2.1 to gingerdx? also upgrading market to Play Store?

ok guys i just gotten this phone for a month already. i have a galaxy sl i9003, and an s2 as well.. both have been rooted and have been upgraded, and upgraded to playstore.... but on mine, i is not rooted or anything... it is on stock, 2.1.1 and i cant seem to update it. i cant unlock bootloader etc because it is made on 11w48... i want to have at least gingerDX with play store so i can do more stuff... please help... this is more complicated than the other phones i have... the sgs is easier to root, not needing to unloack anything....

Yes root is through superoneclick..
You can also root with the help of x8toolbox (Find it in the development section)
You can check your baseband by going to Settings --> About Phone --> Baseband version. That version should end with the digits 015

[Q] URGENT: Network Unlock

I have had my phone rooted and am using GingerDX v022. I have changed my baseband to 015.
I applied to get my netowkr unlock code off my operator and they sent it to me. But when I tried to enter the unlock code, it would not accept it. Has this got anything to do with the fact that I have changed my phone?
If so, how to I change it all back?
Thank you.

ummmm what do you mean changed your phone?? what phone did you request the code for??? codes are only meant for the device that you requested it for.....if you mean rooted, mine was rooted when i put the network unlock code in, did you write it down correctly??? you can ask them for it again, it will be on they're system

Changed my phone as in, new rom, baseband etc. I was on the phone to the company, and double checked the code was the right one, which it was. They told me if it didn't work I'd have to send it away to get flashed.
I then assumed that the rom/baseband/root hace somehow interfered with my unlocking process.

swap your kernel to stock, and go back to stock OFFICAL rom, and input the code...i had to do that for the X10 mini pro.

Okay, thank you so much for the help. Would you be able to tell me how to do those two things? It'd be a great help as it'd been a while since I've done this kind of thing. And where to get them?

flashtool for flashing kernels etc http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=986697
and the thread for reverting etc

Just a fyi in case you have a similar issue next time.
This kind of queries are to be posted in the Q&A section instead of the General section.

Which do I do first, the stock kernal or stock rom? Do I need to change the baseband back?

Using Flashtool or SEUS or PCC will restore both stock rom and kernel simultaneously.
As for baseband, try with 015 first, if it doesn't work try 006.

Okay, and if install a custom rom again, will it undo my network unlock??

Technically it wouldn't, but if it does, just network unlock again.

Okay thank you so much for the help. And in future I will post this in the proper section.
Do I just download the stock 2.1 Eclair ROM in this topic (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1425240) and and flash it using Flashtool or SEUS and then I can enter my code?

you WILL NOT lose network unlock, and not flashing stock BEFORE using seus has been known to brick phones. hence me saying flash stock kernel 1st. you can download the 1.6 version which i know 100% is in english, the 2.1 isnt in english and is pain in the ass
this is the 2.1 you want for flashtool

You have to flash it using Flashtool...
That's about it, afterwards just enter your code.
If it doesn't work flash the 006 baseband and try again.
Btw, hitting the thanks button is more appropriate than posting thanks.

I know I'm being a pain in the ass but things have to be spelt out for me. What do I download first? Stock kernal and then flash with flashtool and then put the 2.1 ROM you linked to on my phone and that's it? Can I flash both the stock kernal and stock rom using flashtool?

no no your not the 2.1 update is because it aint 100% english yes you can flash BOTH using flashtool. either the 2.1 update i linked OR the 1.6 at top of the thread

Ok! Which one of these files is the stock kernal though?
(http://www.mediafire.com/?8bce4dx39e4vp)
It's confusing.

sorry i was meant to say, you can flash the big download INSTEAD of the smaller one to revert, they include the kernel if i remember rightly. but this is stock kernel
http://www.mediafire.com/?ei7ecyzf5wc48qb (small one JUST kernel) i tend to flash that one to be on safe side BEFORE reverting to stock with the 1.6 or 2.1 big download

okay, and after i flash this file to my phone, which file do i flash to it?

Step 1: flash this http://www.mediafire.com/?ei7ecyzf5wc48qb
Step 2: Pick your poison between the 1.6 or 2.1 download
Step 3: INSERT a simcard thats not meant for your phone in
Step 4: Insert the code
Step 5: you should be unlocked

after using SE PC COMPANION also still in 2.1.1.A.0.53
Sent from my Sony Tablet S using XDA

Btw, the 2.1.1.A.0.53 isn't your baseband, it is your rom, and in this case it is one of the last official stock roms for the X8/W8.
Your baseband is the odd alphanumeric string that begins with M and ends in either 015 or 006. Most ROMs and kernels require baseband 015.
Also, I remember some users having this problem before. Use the search tool and see if you can find the posts.

I guess you can use Heimdall to flash kernel using Mac.
You can download appropriate kernel from this thread,
