Hi, i have stock kernel. If I install custom kernel, like alfs or something, can I return to the stock kernel?
And if I brick phone during "instalation" of alfs kernel can I revive it with PC Companion? Or PC Companion wouldn't recognize it?
Thank you.

Yes, you can flash back to the stock kernel through Flashtool.

If you "brick" your device because its manufacturing code is PAST 11W29 and therefore died after you unlocked the boot loader you have a hard brick on your hands you CAN NOT "repair" yourself anymore.
In short: You can only resurrect the phone for as long as you are able to set the device into flash mode (which means the boot loader and kernel has to be intact).

I have a x8 unlocked bootloader and rooted .
I have already download the stock kernel .ftf file and flashed it using flashtool for my xperia x8 which is running xperience walkman mod 1.0 but it was no luck ... i tried to flash stock rom first but cwm would not flash it
i did tried to flash the kernel but i boot up it will just stuck at the sony ericsson logo and i am unable to enter recovery ..
Can anyone help me?
Flash stock kernel and use seus

To the best of my knowledge, you can flash kernels only via flashtool. CWM won't help. And the kernel .ftf file must have a loader.sin in addition to a kernel.sin when viewed via flashtool.
I remember a day I flashed my X8 37 times within 24hours! At times, it would get temperamental & fail to boot beyond the SE logo screen for reasons it alone knows. Cheer up. And get flashing!
Hmmm... i dont want to use SEUS because by then i would have to reroot and even unlock bootloader again i tried couple of times to flash the stock kernel but my phone just stuck at the se logo

Which kernel are you tried to flash? You can use flashtool to flash your kernel, and install ROM with CWM! If you are flashing aNa kernel, CWM is already built-in. If you still struck at SE logo, mean your kernel is not flash yet.

Well, there's actually still ADB but it carries a certain amount of risk. With flashtool, most of that is obviated. If you need more information, scout the Android Development section for related topics.
Search in the Flashtool post the list of official firmwares, and flash one of these (yes, only that )
If the links are dead, send me a PM and I will give you the ftf that I have
I do have the .ftf file and flashed it.. but my phone will just stuck there
Hi. I am on GingerDX v024 now and i wanted to flash Alfs 8a kernel, and when I did, I stuck at infinite bootloop (Alfs logo>reset>alfs logo...and so on) I flashed then older 8 version, and even stock kernel but it didn't help. Only way to fix it was by flashing it back to stock 2.1 and again install GDX v024. So now there is a question: my baseband is 006, is it the problem that I'm stuck on bootloop after installing a kernel for this ROM? Thanks in advance!

You surely need a newest baseband xxx015. You can update your baseband by PC companion.
Then reinstall the rom, full wipe then flash alfs.
Thanks for reply Can I do this via Flashtool (because Companion doesn't work)? And which .ftf file should I choose? And can I do this on current GDX v024 or flash it back to stock 2.1??
Yes, you can use FlashTool. Download the ftf file from here. Isn't necessary back to stock 2.1
So if I have E15i, then I should go for "E15i Baseband 015", right? I'd rather ask ten times, than crying after bricked phone

Yes, you're right
Originally, I am using a 4.0.3 stock rom.
Then I flashed a 4.2 ABYSS kernel and pressed wipe data after.
After that, I flashed check rom v6. However, it cant boot and stops at the GT-N7000.
So I use odin to flash a rom with pda, phone and csc. However, it still cant boot and stops at GT-N7000.
All my steps should be usual as I usually flash the rom of my phone.
What can I do to boot my phone?
Did you boot back into recovery after flashing AbyssNote kernel ?
Which ICS kernel were you using when you performed wipe data / factory reset ?
Now...
Flash stock gingerbread rom with pc odin and then factory reset.
DO NOT select PIT file or boot-loader etc. Flash normally.

It is superbricked.
Take your phone to samsung service centre. Motherboard needs to be replaced.
Act dumb, do not tell them about custom roms and kernels, root etc and make sure you do not have yellow triangle and flash counter.
BTW Which kernel were you using before you flashed AbyssNote kernel?

Did you reboot into recovery after flashing abyss kernel?
You need to reboot back into recovery after flashing abyss 4.2, so the abyss kernel takes effect.
Sounds like you didn't reboot into recovery, and wiped with an unsafe kernel.

You are superbricked. Search the forum for partial recovery since you cannot claim warranty, unless you send it back to France.

Are you sure it was stock kernel?
Stock kernels do not have clockwork recovery - so it is not possible to flash kernel from it.

If you can flash through odin without getting stuck at some point then may still be ok. Make sure to have kernel matching rom. Abyss go with gb rom.
I have X8 with 2.6.29.6- nAA -ics-04 kernel and MiniCM9-3.0.4-shakira installed.
Phone is turning off by itself and it's really slow so I would like to install stock rom.
I tried by PC Companion but it doesn't recognize device.
Can anyone help me with step by step instructions?
Can I just update with SEUS? I read somewhere that I should flash stock kernel first but I can't find how to.
I tried to search thread for this, but there's nothing for beginners.
Now I really NEED HELP PLEASE!
I copied Ginger DX rom on my SD card and install it, since thread said it runs with stock kernel and nAa kernel. (On other thread someone wrote that I need rom that supports both stock and nAa kernel for easier stock kernel install.)
Now my phone only shows Sony Ericsson start screen and that's it.I tried many threads for bricked phones but all links are broke and the ones I managed to download are not working.
So now I have W8 and X8 (E16&E15) Stock Kernel and X8i_2.1.1.A.0.6_Baseband_015, I also tried Xperia X8 (E15)_2.1 (2.1.1.A.0.6)_Greek (by Leajian) but all of them shows only Sony Ericsson start screen.
Also, when I connect to SEUS it says I already have latest software and I can't connect to PC Companion since I can't turn the phone on.
Please someone help me, I've been up with this all night and need my phone in the morning.
are you on stock kernel already? simply flash the stock ROM via flashtool. do NOT flash the kernel. then reboot. you need to have pcc installed too. and install the drivers in flashtool's /drivers folder.
edit: you need the stock rom .ftf file. not the baseband and kernel.

Does anyone have the XX015 baseband flashable thru flashtool? I have found some but with dead links.
Moreover, i got stucked on nAa 14 animation, (unlocked bootloader, reflashed stock, reflashed naa kernel, etc but nothing worked)
I was thinking this was someting to do with the baseband since when i get backed to stock (flashed thru flashtool) its still xx006
Am I right? or any suggestion. im not familiar with the phone so i need some help. :fingers-crossed:
