Hey people,
i was reading a lot of posts and topics and i'm really really really very confuse now.
Some people say that we put the kernel file in the Flashtool folder, blablabla, and then we flash, blabla, some people say we have to change another file and make a bundle or whatever and blablabla, blablabla, blablabla! a lot of ways are told in the different topics
I just want to know exactly all the steps from downloading the kernel to turn on the phone with the new kernel (i already unlocked the bootloader sucessfully)
If theres differents steps from kernel to kernel, i just want the steps for the FXP Kernel and (if diferent) to the CM Kernel.
Thanks in advance
I did like that :
1.download kernel linuxdx
2.put ftf to firmwares folder in flashtool
3. Run flashtool
4.press flash
5. Select linuxdx kernel
6. Flashed linuxdx in less than 2minutes
7.take out the cable
8. Boot phone, install gingerdx
9.reboot
10.Enjoy new kernel and ROM

So... what about the loader? We don't need to do nothing to that? And is that the same process to FXP Kernel?

If I try the linuxdx kernel and want to switch back to original kernel that I am using how would I do this? Do I have to back up the kernel to use it again? If so, how would I do that?
Thank you for your help!
Just download stock kernel too, it is posted in few places on forum.
If you will not want LDX ot FXP kernel then you just flash stock one.
Remember about full wipe if any problems after changing rom or kernel.
Also stock kernel will NOT have recovery... do backups! ;]
Thank you for your help!
That "bla bla bla bla bla" way is the correct way!

If you are useing per made kernel like linuxdx.04
loader is all ready in the ftf file
If you get a file call kernel.sin then you will need. The loader.sin
And make a ftf file in flash tool

Heya!
I've a question. THat if i unlock my boot loader, and flash a new kernel, will i need to reinstall my current rom, or its not important?
It is depending on the fact that your current rom is compatible with the kernel or not?
Gingerdx-->Alfs or ldx
minicm7.2-->naA kernel.
Hope this will help ...

Just a suggestion: unlock bootloader after restoring phone with seus to base 2.1, so there will be far less (or none) problem through the procedure.

One question, the recommended step if i want to flash custom kernel n rom is:
-flash kernel first,then rom
Or
-flash rom,then kernel..?
Sent from my E15 using xda premium
First flash kernel. I think you can do the opposite, but flashing kernel first is the best solution.

i read that after unlocking bootloader, the xrecovery no longer works. so if i flash back my phone to 2.1, if i root and install xrecovery, will the xrecovery works..? or i must install CWM instead..?
and what i must do if i want to flash a ROM that need to be flash with xrecovery..?
Install the Dual-Mode recovery with x8Toolbox, that'll give you xRecovery AND CWM.

Használd a SEUS-t inkább. Ott kiválasztod, hogy X8-ad van, és ráflasheli az E15 firmware-jét, utána szerintem menni fog.

Use SEUS instead of PCC. There you can chose that you've got X8, then it will flash E15 firmware, then I think it will work.
Köszi szèpen! / thx

It is a soft brick. Recover via PCC/SEUS
what kernel are you on ?
Did you make a full wipe before flashing the ROM ? If not , do it next time
need help
i make a full wipe i don't know my kernel version and i'm newbie and i don't know how to use PCC/SEUS . is it seriously danger at my phone

I know you're problem! Some roms will disable recovery (for example: ICS for stock)
To fix this, Download X8Toolbox:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117100
You will need to have the drivers for your X8 Phone (download on sony's website)
You can install them through device manger!
Now open x8 toolbox, and install a recovery. You can choose
Good luck! after the installation your phone should be able to go to recovery!
I'm new to XDA!
Please press the "thanks" button if i helped!
it really helped
i want to know what stock kernel mean and how i can make latest kernel to my phone to install new ROM avoiding soft brick
???
i don't know waht stock kernel mean but i know how to install custom kernel
you will need flashtool and kernel that you want to installl
move kernel in firmwares in flastool folder
tha n run flashtool and turn off phone
go to flash and choose your kernel than press ok and connect you phone with pc in flash mode tha nafter the procces is done turn on phone and press back button until you go into xrecovery or CWM....
then flash to ROM
remember to do a full wipe
or in case of installing alfs kernel
flash latest version and install update adreno libs and other stuff unless it won't work ok...
press thanks if i helped

I think you are confused...
Take it from the start, its not necessary that you have brick when you install custom rom with stock kernel. If you have stock kernel you will search for roms which are for stock kernel..as simple as that...if you want to install custom kernel you have to unlock bootloader which is very risky and can't be done to all x8. If you want to check it take off your battery, there will be a code on your phone( no the one on battery) if it is under 11w29 then congrats you are from the lucky one that can unlock bootloader.
*stock kernel mean the original kernel that the phone have when you buy it

X8 ....After unlocking bootloader it went out of SIM signal....imanage to solve this problem.
But i have a mayor problem: I`ve tried to install GingerDx, PrimeHD, MiniCM9, on Sock and Custom Kernels and it always stuks at booting.
Before unlocking bootloader stock kernel ROMs were runnig all right, even PrimeHD 7.0 with nAa 11 worked but not anymore.
Anyone knows what is happening, should i relock and unlock it again?
did you fill wipe? you need to flash kernel, install rom and full wipe

Yes...full wipe= Done...but doesn`t work after full wipping.
well are you sure you have unlocked your bootloader?
re-check with s1tool...if it's unlocked then with flashtool go back to stock rom,kernel(android 2.1) and then root it again install recovery and then first try to install some other rom for stock kernel and then install custom kernel and then custom ROM
Pay attention on your ftf kernel files...i accidently downlaoded U20 nAa kernel instead of x8 nAa kernel...and guest what-->that kernel didn't work so whatch out for which phone is ftf kernel file
i hope i helped

can you make a video and show us your problem?
I finally solve it!!!
Idon`t know how but i repeat the same procedure time after time and i can finally instal GingerDx v025 in Stock kernel.
Thanks to everyone that helped me!!!
hi.. the thread title on gingerdx says stock (does it mean stock kernel?) but the op post says a cwm recovery is required.. and cwm requires an unlocked bootloader..
is there a way i can flash this custom rom?
is it safe from hardbrick x8?

Hi Guys,
I have my x8 phone running on nAa's latest v6 kernel with ZenceFil ROM(GB 2.3.7) with ofcourse an un-locked bootloader. But now i want to move back to stock settings.
I had made a backup using xRecovery before installing these mods, so my question is, how to I restore that xRecovery backup along with the stock kernel which i already got from the unlock bootloader thread??
I tried flashing the stock kernel but then the phone just get's stuck in the boot logo page with Sony Ericsson logo, can't even open the recovery, which i guess is not included in the stock kernel file.
I tried installing xRecovery by copying its files to /system/bin but still i have CWM as recovery!
Please advise...
p.s. I saw this thread, but the solution provided there is not working for me as PCC is not helping, it juts say's no s/w found for your device. Also I don't want to lock the boot loader.
Flash stock 2.1 trough flash tool>root it>instal xrecovery and then restore backup.

I have downloaded the stock 2.1 rom but how do i flash a ROM using flash tool? I don't see that option..
Flash it like kernel.

NAA6 is using difrent system-data partition size. If you want to move to other kernel you need first boot into cwm and format data and system partitions, then flash other kernels.
You can also flash your phone with SEUS and you will have stock rom-kernel like you had when you bouth the phone (if your bootloader was unlocked SEUS will leave it unlocked).
Stock rom and kernel you can flash using Flash Tool, just move the ftf file (for exemple 2.1.1.C.0.0.ftf) move this to the FIRMWARE flashtool' folder. Open flash tool and click on the "lightning" icon, (on old version click on flash) and select flash mode. Turn off the phone and flash it like a normal kernel.
But the stock rom that i downloaded has no ftf file! It's a normal backup have 4 .img files.. how do i flash that?

You could use SEUS. It will install the newest firmware for x8 and it won't relock bootloader (for me it don't relock it), but you have to root your phone and install xrecovery one more time.
