SEUS or PCC? I did it with FlashTool instead.
Search in the forums, there are tons of topics about changing baseband. Notice that doing it is easy but risky, because it is possible to brick your phone.
Here you have a baseband collection to flash in your X8 depending on if it is E15i or E15a:

for goodness can u please provide me simple step by step instructions how to update baseband using flashtool !!! iam very new to flashtool .
already downloaded flashtool waiting for ur instructions

Well, you can know your phone model by checking it in Settings>About. You'll see there if it is E15a or E15i.
Before continuing, check the following things:
You have installed Sony Ericsson's drivers (if you installed PCC, it should be right).
Your phone is rooted.
I don't know if this is necessary, but enable "USB debugging" in Settings>Applications>Development>"USB debugging". If you rooted your phone, this should be already set.
Your phone is not connected to the PC.
Download the correct baseband depending on the model:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=976538
Download FlashTool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=986697
Extract the downloaded FTF file into the folder "Firmwares" from the FlashTool main folder.
Run FlashTool and press "Flash" (the lightning icon), and select the first option. In the next form, select the right firmware on the left, and ALL the files on the right.
After accepting, you'll be shown some instructions to plug your phone. But before that, turn off your phone, wait some seconds, remove the battery and put it on again. With the phone still off, press "Back" button and connect it to the PC (without releasing the button).
You'll see when Flashtool finishes its work, and you'll be able to unplug the phone. Turn it on to check everything is OK.
You're done.
As I said in a previous post... this is a bit risky and I recommend you seeing some other topics about upgrading baseband.

Custom kernel flashing requires an unlocked bootloader. Hoping that your phone is new, it would be locked!
First install the drivers (XZ drivers, flash mode and fastboot drivers) from drivers folder of flashtool (For flashtool, download the beta version from Xperia Z Original Development forum page than the 0.9.10.1 version- it doesn't support Z)
Next download the firmware of your choice. Make sure it isn't corrupted!
Switch off your mobile but DON'T connect!
Paste the downloaded firmware in firmwares folder of flashtool.
Open flashtool, select flash mode and select the firmware you copied!
It says that it is preparing files, let it do (about 5-10 mins)
After that, a dialog pops up saying that to connect the device, now hold the volume down button and try connecting the device. The flashing should start!

Thxs for your answer.
I got it restored to original.
I just wont to install the cm 10.1 kernel and then the cm10.1 rom.
They say I have to extract the kernel,when I unrar the firmware do I use the boot.img?
How do I do extract the kernel on Sony?
When I connect to flashtool it doesnt give me the option to unlock,so i presume its unlocked?
How can I check?
Ive been flashing my Note for a year now,but this is somewhat different.

To go onto cm 10 or as op (4.2.2) you need to unlock your bootloader
If you want to use Cm roms First you need to know if you can unlock it by dialing *#*#7378423#*#* >service info > configuration and look under bootloader unlock no means can't be unlocked, yes means you can, if you do unlock it make sure you back up your TA partition
There are tutorials on how to unlock bl and even on Sony unlock how to do it
Edit: to try, try and flash doom lords Xperia v6 kernel if it fails then you are still locked

Make sure your phone is fully charged (minimum recommended value 70%). Now follow these steps below :
1) Connect your phone in MTP (Media Transfer Port) mode with your PC.
2) Open PC Companion and wait phone to be detected, after detection go to update option and click Repair My Phone/Tablet.
3) Leave the device until repair finishes.
Another method :
1) Flash 4.1.2 firmware from here Xperia SP 4.1.2
2) Flash it via Flashtool.
3) Extract the Kernel.sin from the stock FTF file (Android 4.3) you previously have downloaded.
4) Open Flashtool (By Androxyde) and then open tools->sin editior and select Kernel.sin where ever you extracted it.
5) Click extract data and wait.
6) Once you get the kernel.elf file rename it to boot.img.
7) Flash it as kernel via Flashtool.
8) Now select the stock FTF (Android 4.3) you downloaded and then before flashing look into right side you'll see an exclude option box.
9) Exclude kernel.sin and flash the FTF.
Check and see if any of the above methods work for you.
Hit thanks if I helped you.

Hi bro,
As you described here, is it possible to run 4.1 kernel on 4.3 without problems?
