You have started two same thread on the same problem! Which version of aNa kernel and ROM you are using? Can you go into the Recovery with BACK button?
If so, do a full wipe and install the ROM again with the custom zip files from SDcard.
Please let us have more details so you could help you better!

Well, and you wonder why it "dies" at the attempt to boot?
The STOCK ROM does NOT work with nAa or Alfs!
Now go and flash MiniCM7 or restore the Stock Kernel and keep on improving your knowledge before running free and messing up.

What saintckk wanted to say is this ...
If you look at the thread title of nobodyAtall's Kernel thread it reads:
[KERNEL] nAa-10 [28/1/12] Custom Gingerbread kernel + CWM Recovery
You notice the "Gingerbread" I made bold?
Android 2.1.x --> Eclair
Android 2.2.x --> Froyo
Android 2.3.x --> Gingerbread
Android 3.x.x --> Honeycomb
Android 4.0.x --> Ice Cream Sandwich
Since the thread title points out that the kernel is intended to be used with Gingerbread ROMs you can't use it with older Android versions.
But that's just half the story.
Not every 2.3.x (aka "Gingerbread") custom ROM will actually work with every custom Kernel.
For example:
GingerDX runs on Stock Kernel, Alfs or Linux DX
MiniCM7 runs best on nAa ONLY
This means you have to use a befitting kernel for the ROM of your choice. The supported Kernels of a ROM are either noted down in the thread title or somewhere in the 1st post.
The simple fact is that the 2.1 STOCK ROM does NOT work with custom kernels at all as it has never been made to run on a custom kernel.
Note: I'm ignoring the fact here that lrakkarl's FroyoPro can also run on Alfs.
That being straightened out ...
To resolve your problem do as I wrote above. Either flash MiniCM7 (v2.1.8) or flash back the stock kernel and stay on the stock ROM.
Again: The Stock ROM does NOT work with custom kernels!
NO.... I try of 5 hours and nothing I can fix this... X(
Well...
To flash MiniCM7 (requires "adb" as you're stuck at boot AND some knowledge about how to do it):
- Download the ZIP of the ROM
- Connect your X8 to the Computer by using the USB cable
- Turn on the phone and once the SONY ERICSSON logo appears keep on tapping onto the screen to get into CWM.
- "Mount SD-card"
- adb connect
- adb push C:\path\to\MiniCM7.zip /sdcard
- Flash MiniCM7 from your SD card
- Full Wipe
- Reboot
The other way would be as hrvoje334 pointed out above ...
Flash back to Stock and retry from there.

Ok ...
Download Flashtool
Download the Stock Kernel FTF
Download the Stock 2.1.1.C.0.0 Stock ROM FTF
Put the ftf files into the "firmwares" directory inside the Flashtool directory.
Start Flashtool
Click the "Flash" button and select the kernel ftf.
In the next window don't do anything, just click "OK"
Flashtool will now tell you to ...
- TURN THE PHONE OFF
- Press the Back button and keep it pressed
- Connect the phone to the computer
Once you see that flashtool recognized the phone and started to flash the kernel you can release the back button.
Repeat the procedure a second time, but this time you select the ROM FTF.
Once that's done you're back on the Stock Kernel and Stock ROM.
From there you need to root the phone again and either install xRecovery or Dual Mode recovery (to have xRecovery AND CWM).
You may also try with PC Companion instead of Flashtool, but in case PC Companion tells you to take a hike you need to go down the Flashtool route.

Since you obviously didn't unlock your boot loader but just flash MiniCM7 - no, I take your boot loader should even still be locked, right?
If you didn't touch the boot loader and NOT flash a custom kernel...
Just download Flashtool and the Stock ROM FTF to recover your phone back to Stock 2.1

Go to xrecrovery choose instal custom zip from sd card hoose zip from sd card find your mini cm 7 install rom and factory reset/full wipe.
It depends on ROM. Some of CM7 works only on custom kernels, so You should first check if You will be able to unlock bootloader. Look behind Your battery - on the stick there should be something like xxWyy which will tell You the year and the week of Your board. If it's older than 11W26 (26th week of 2011) - U may unlock bootloader and install custom kernel (on Your own risk ;P). If not - You shouldn't do this and search for ROMs working on SE stock kernel

Also, some ROM required CWM instead of Xrecovery, so read carefully before attempting anything.
Hmmmm
I unlocked bootloader long time ago(10WW48 on the sticker).
to przemek4113: Just installing from xrecovery gives me a unbooting phone.
I tried Froyo, but it doesn't boot too.
Then i'm flashing(Xrecovery doesn't give me a booting phone even if i recover all system) official 2.1.
This phone was bought with GinderDX on it. But latest versions need new kernels(flashing kernel bricks phone).
May be try Previous versions of GingerDX?
Really, i tried about seven customs...
P.S. I'm installing xrecovery ROM's from Xrecovery and CWM ROM's from CWM...

Mind to elaborate where you read that "latest versions need new kernels"?
GingerDX runs on STOCK KERNEL, LinuxDX as well as Alfs. I fail to find the part in doixanh's post where it says something about forcing a certain kernel to be used.
Make sure you have an older x8 than 11w29, its under the battery. When the number is 11w29 or newer, you'll not get CM. Unlock your bootloader.
Download and flash FXP kernel. Install official CM with the kernel built-in CWM. I recommend to flash nAa kernel after install the CM, it's much better.

If you want CM7 you should go to this thread...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362585
That's my fault - i was speaking about another ROM. Not GingerDX - but it doesn't boot too.
I followed advise about miniCM7.
Flashed kernel ->then wiped all(i disliked the message about ext4 - there's no this partition - probably that's the problem???) ->installed ROM. Nothing.
"nAa kernel" logo appears and then it reboots.
UPD:
I've installed GingerXperia(v19) via CWM.
Then -
I've flashed all kernel,fota and smth else(not all files from 2.1.1).
Then it booted...strange)
But i'll try to work with other kernels...

Flash Tool - I've seen links on it thousand times on 4pda.ru, but not here - i suppose it to be in the branch about X10.
http://www.mediafire.com/?z7fmpiragbbdxdu - here is flasher.
http://depositfiles.com/files/c2gllgt6t - or here, with official firmware
It would be great if somebody could provide the step by step procedure of flashing my w8 to get past the se logo....
1)Download all archives above
2)Run flasher
3)Press "Flash" and choose necessary firmware
4)follow advices of software
5)reboot -> You have official 2.1
then
1)check your bootloader(http://4pda.ru/forum/dl/post/1227710/S1tool.7z) with this tool
2)unlock it if it is able for you
3)take root(superoneclick with debugging)
4)make xrecovery
5)install any xrecovery zip
or
alt 5)make CWM
alt 6)install any CWM zip
or
install kernel
then install zip
Firstly try it from xrecovery. If you have some problems - write PM to me)
I have done it and successfully flashed as per flashtool...but now even i cant boot stuck at "sony ericsson" now the animated logo works and reboots automatically...pls help

Flash kernel & ROM
Well it is kinda hard work to do. You need to do bootloader, flash back the kernel, and flash back the ROM. So far the best is by going into nAa's kernel thread, it covers, well, I can say, basically all these. I'm using and recommend nAa kernel v11 now so good with OC even can play 3D HD games without Chainfire 3D (of coz better if u install too) just type 'nAa kernel' in search box & u can see the topic. Pls consider ur level of understanding b4 trying. But it is essential bcoz at least u can still flash back the kernel n restore ur ROM back (REMEMBER: Back-up the ROM!!!) if ur phone doesn't even restart. & remember, most of the time di FULL WIPE b4 installing new ROM to avoid conflict AND the ROM must be COMPATIBLE with the kernel u use. Thanks goes to nAa for his great ROM ok??? Best of luck then... Oh yeah for the .ftf file DO NOT unzip it, just put it in /firmware in the flashtool in ur PC & flash it
topic: [KERNEL] nAa-11 [11/2/12] Custom Gingerbread kernel + CWM Recovery
Thank you very much!!!
However,I cannot boot up my phone and it stop at the sony ericsson logo

If you mean the Stock ROM image ...
Click on the link in my signature.
In the "Flashtool" folder you will find a collection of Flashtool versions. I recommend you download either v0.2.9.1 or v0.6.7.0
Then hop into the "Sony Ericsson" Folder. In there you will find a 7-Zip compressed 2.1.1.C.0.0 Flashtool ROM image - download X8_E15_2.1.1.C.0.0_generic.7z and extract to get the FTF.
Download the "Unbrick the Sony Ericsson Xperia X8.txt" and follow the guide.
In case of problems or question simply post.
Hope to not disturb, today my Note arrived, so right now i got 4 hours with it. Impressions?!? You all know, is a great device.
So, since this morning i start reading and reading, but are alot of infos here, i lose some and i become confuse, so i will need some help in my order questions.
My build number is GINGERBREAD.XXLA6 (i understand users with it can easily brick the device), so here all my questions:
PS: Please post links too:
1- first step is to root and install cwm (how and link please), or i need to flash a new kernel to be sure my device will never be bricked (how and link please)?
2- after i flash custom kernel and install a new rom, i can make wipe all from custom recovery? After that danger situationto brick it will be forever gone?
3- i would like to unlock the sim network, it is working and it is safe?
4- i know about warranty, but i suppose i can allways go back to stock (i need stock kernel too or only rom?)
Dont know what to ask more, users who will read and write, please, write ALL STEPS, 1by1, from first to last, what i need to do, this phone was a big effort for me to buy it, without any jokes.

As long as you are on GB kernel, you are safe to wipe.
1. Check my sig. for excellent rooting guide by Dr.Ketan (post #3 for LA6), it will help in installing cwmr too.
2. You can wipe on any of the safe custom ICS kernels (if you flash custom ICS rom) just do not wipe on stock ICS kernels.
3. check galaxy_S unlock in play store to unlock, I dont think it is unsafe to do it (except some carrier terms, may be)
4. Once you flash stock firmware you will be back to normal. flashing stock firmware will also change kernel to stock.
I would suggest read a lot before doing anything as flashing custom roms, kernels or modding always include some risk.

No prob, and by the way, why don't you simply flash pre-rooted GB rom (look for it in my sig.), it is already rooted and includes CWM recovery too. All you have to do is to just flash it and then flash any custom rom of your choice using cwm recovery.
Reason why I suggested flashing pre-rooted GB is that your rom seems to be non directly rootable and I think only option is to flash pre-rooted rom. (atleast as per my understanding)

Hope i`m doing good steps here
Update your phone the official way ie go into settings/about phone/ and your phone should update to ics.

If you choose to flash pre-rooted GB rom, then no need to install cwm separately, as it already includes cwmr, you just have to choose some custom rom and flash it using cwm recovery.
I was about to suggest you the other method of updating to stock ICS first and then rooting but it will take more time and it is of no use as your end motive is to flash custom roms

Well, i will chose the method proviced by kyleastley too, seems more easy this way.
1- I will update to stock ics
2- then flash custom kernel .tar via odin
3- root and install cwm (if the custom kernel include already, dont know)
4- install custom rom (from cwm) since i can wipe after
Is ok this way?

Step 2 u can skip as its already done (dont know about root but definatly cmw) u wil not need root anyway as u can power down phone and reeboot into recovery via 3 button trick.
May i add step 6 install triangle away from play store as it will remove the triangle At boot as u flashed a kernal using odin.
As allways read and read again as uay already know that this phone has the brick problem but if u do everything by the book u will b ok.

That's is completely fine if you want to go this way , step 1 and 2 are okay but step 3 not required as flashing custom kernel via odin will root and install cwmr. You will get yellow triangle and custom binary count by flashing custom kernel, which can be reset using triangle away. check rooting guide in my sig, once you are on stock ICS or ask here.
Checked above post after I posted mine, seems like its getting confusing here, okay so once you are on Stock ICS you have two methods to root and install cwmr,
1. once you are on stock ICS just flash some custom kernel using odin, it will root your device and flash cwmr too, then use triangle away app to remove yellow triangle and reset binary count. (method 2 in rooting guide in my sig.)
OR
2. Once you are on stock ICS, follow method 1 in rooting guide in my sig. in this you can root using stock recovery and then can flash custom kernel using mobile odin, so no yellow triangle or custom binary count.

2. Once you are on stock ICS, follow method 1 in rooting guide in my sig. in this you can root using stock recovery and then can flash custom kernel using mobile odin, so no yellow triangle or custom binary count.

Good you clarify me
5% left from download and then i will flash the update to ics.
let me see if i understand, after update to ics i will flash a custom kernel via odin (this will have root and cwm too), i will restart the phone and install yellow triangle and reset binary count
then i must root using stock recovery as you say and install again a custom kernel since the yellow triangle doesnt show up anymore? or you want to say i can flash custom rom since the triangle dont show up? -> confuse!

No, don't follow what you have understood so far about rooting. these are 2 different methods for root, check rooting guide in my sig. it will clear everything.
And just want to make sure, are you downloading ICS rom or are you talking about percentage in kies?

Oh OTA, that's cool , now once you are on ICS (confirm it in setting/about phone before rooting) and then check rooting guide in my sig. and follow either method one OR method 2 described in it.

No need to have root to flash custom kernel via odin, it will root it automatically.
Do you have Samsung drivers installed on your PC? If yes then try restarting your phone once again.

Yes, drivers was. Anyhow i reinstalled other drivers, now odin see my phone :X
I flash custom kernel (HydraCore_v1 build12)
Indeed, SU is installed now.
Now i must install that apk to remove the triangle and then i can install custom rom? If yes, when i will install custom ics, i can wife before it now?

You don't have to remove yellow triangle to install custom rom, you can still do it. Traingle away is just to remove the yellow triangle and to reset binary count for warranty purpose. Yes, you can wipe now, as you are on safe kernel.
Download any custom rom, which you wish to install, put it in your SD, boot in CWMR , perform full wipe and then flash the rom .zip.

Hi all
I have rooted and unlocked the bootloader but haven't taken the jump and stuck a ROM or kernel on as yet, as am actually quite happy with the stock ROM, and also rely on the headphones, amongst other things - which appear to be a problem on some of the ROMs.
If I do stick a custom ROM on, can I easily get back to the stock one, is there a stock ROM of that which I can flash via CWM ?
I understand that with CWM I (currently) have to instantly stick a ROM on, so presumably cant do a backup of the stock ROM at that point..before putting on FXP or some such
I presume I can use the sony update service, but would that wipe the root ...?
could someone enlighten me
many thanks

Take a backup of what you have now in recovery, and you can always restore.
Also there are plenty of stock .ftfs in the allin one thread in Q&A that can be flashed in flashtool
No.
if you flash cmw from the thread then yeas, but you have unlocke your bootloader, so just flash the advanced stock kernel and then you have recovery without having to reflash a rom...

hi thanks for the reply
this one?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1922925
that has CWM rolled up in it?
and I can simply type
fastboot flash boot Tkernel.elf
using the version of fastboot that came with flashtool
with the phone in fastboot mode (blue LED)?
effectively following steps from here:

Hello. I did all the steps in DooMLoRD's post, but there is something wrong. The phone is freezing all the time and really slow. After this 1 message appears "System UI has stopped" and then it works better, but when i try to start a game... "(name of the game) has stopped". I ask other guys, but they dont have problens like that on this ROM.
Can you tell me why is that? Thanks in advance!
Did you wipe your phone before installing? Try to install the DooMLoRD's rooted kernel and do a wipe in Recovery. Then, install the ROM again.

Actually first i have installed the ROM and then kernel (is like that in the instructions)
Is it posible to have that problem if i unlocked the bootloader or root the phone wrong?

As long as your bootloader is unlocked root is not important for flashing this ROM. And if you already managed to install custom kernel (for example for aosp based rom) then you successfully unlocked your bootloader. Maybe as the previous post said, try to install DooMLoRD's kernel (The old one) then reboot recovery, wipe, flash 4.3 zip and it should work

I have installed this one: SP-4.3_leak_256-DooMLoRD_AdvStkKernel-v1 Is that the new one ?
I found this: SP-DooMKernel-v03 and SP-DooMKernel-v04
Is that the older kernels ? Because i try the kernel in the ZIP with the ROM and there is no recovery...
Guys....
Im trying to install leaked 4.3 but have issue
1.flashed .254 using flash tool
2.Rebooted
3.Flashed Advanced kernel via fastboot
4.Rebooted
but when i turn on the phone after that,it vibrates once and then there is no display.
so i flashed .254 stock kernal but that didnt fix the issue
As of now im on .254 stock ROM with bootloader locked again
Please explain me step by step process to get this done with 4.3 plzzz
Please note that my phone even though was c5302 always displayed as c5303 in PC companion but it isnt now.

Okay! Do it this way
Unlock ur Bootloader
Flash stock .254 ftf
Then root and install cwm by locked bootloader method
( by installing previous firmware kernel ftf, root by doomloard kit, install cwm of locked bootloader then flash ur latest. 254 kernel ftf)
Now just flash the 4.3 rom through Cwm without Wiping anything

Of course, cause u havent flashed the rom yet! You only flash the kernel, not the rom.
Now do it exactly as you did before, but after flashing the kernel and rebooting, tap the volume uo button continuously until you boot into cwm. And then you can flash the rom through cwm.
Dont forget to copy the zip in your ext sdcard before flashing the kernel!
Cheers.
I don't have the Take Screenshot option in the power menu. Is that normal ? Is it disabled by default or something ?
