What was wrong ? Mini CM9 on Xperia X8

Hi everybody,
I tried yesterday to flash my phone with the new mini CM9 + nAa 04 kernel... It did not work resulting in a soft brick.
I solved this problem by flashing back to the stock rom + kernel using flashtool. My device is now working as before.
After many unfruitful research on the forum, i'm forced to ask you what wrong did I do...
My phone was (and is) configured as follow :
Kernel : stock 2.6.2.9
Rom : Android 2.1
Base Band Version : M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015
Built : 2.1.1.C.0.0
Rooted
Bootloader : unlocked
Today I installed xRecovery (which is not needed if I use the Kernel E15_nAa-ics-04_2.6.29.6-nAa-ics-04).
Is it problematic if I want to use the mini CM9 rom ?
How did I do :
I started by flashing the kernel using flashtool and with the latest version kernel E15_nAa-ics-04_2.6.29.6-nAa-ics-04.
The manipulation was successful and kernel was working well.
Then, after having backed up all my settings, apps, contacts, rom and wiped off the data factory settings, I started to flash the rom with CWM (the rom had been stored before on my SD card).
Once the installation finished, the phone reboot... and reboot .... and reboot, etc...
It was only able to display the nAa kernel screen (boot loop), but nothing more.
Finally, I flashed it back to stock version to use it again... OUff
I was a bit scared by the idea of having a hard brick but finally it was just a soft brick.
What do you think about my experience ? I know many of you think that people who do not have necessary skills to do it should not do it ^^ but I want to learn and to make my phone a bit more flexible and fast.
Thank you in advance !

Your hardware and software seems alright to me.
Steps: Don't bother about xRecovery. From stock 2.1...
Root again
Flash nAa-ics kernel
Install MiniCM9 and Gapps from first post of MiniCM9 thread
FULL WIPE -- YOU MUST DO THIS
WIPE DALVIK-CACHE TOO
Reboot and have fun

Hi,
Thanks for your replies.
So I don't understand what was wrong as I completely wiped the system prior to flash the Rom.
I proceeded exactly like that :
1.Wipe data factory
2.Wipe cache
3.Wipe dalvik-cache
4.Format system
5.Format cache
6.Format data
7.Rom installation
8.Flash Gapps
I think I have done all the necessary steps to make it working ...
I was maybe not enough patient after installation ?
I'm going to try again today (now I know how to recover from a soft brick ).
Thank you all again.

do not wipe your phone on ics...if you have you done a factory reset on rooted ics ...you could be in trouble
flash stock gb rom with odin ...boot up ..check that you are indeed on gb ...then fully wipe system
can you give some more info about where you are at now

What he saying you?
he says dont wipe on ICS, still you want to install ICS?
You need GB to wipe OR at least safe kernel to solve your problem.
Read again this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1829078
what i said you? you have to wipe cache and data just after flashing GB ROM. All your error was just due to that. Just dont flash and flash without understanding, you have already bricked one time.
Really Read more before doing anything.

I put 3 Stock ICS ROMs in the torrent thread (one LR6 from India). Maybe you could try with this.

Those error was normal after flashing GB ROM, that i told you earlier too, at that time you didn't follow instruction, you have to wipe that time.
Now again you wiped on ICS?? Even after you already bricked one time.

Factory reset is same as wipe data.

i gave up after this reply ...you clearly dont listen or read and youve already bricked once...dammmm...get an iphone

Experience the same thing as the thread starter but what I did was flash using Abyss Kernel then I wiped factory data - cache then installed KJ1 Gingerbread ROM. Then once Im at the GB rom I again re-flash the Abyss Kernel just to fix the static blank screen (dunno if thats normal). Then after im able to access the phone restart to recovery and flash the ICS rom that I want to install.
@denny love your comment about the iphone

Do you know how to use PC Odin to flash Roms ?
If it so then just download a GB rom from ketans thread and put your phone in download mode.
Connect it to your PC and flash it.After flashing go to Recovery and wipe cache.
That is all I can suggest you in this situation.

Just add one more thing to sahil's note.
If successfully flash gb.
And keep away from any flashing till you dont fully understand basics.

You Must Install Stock ROM ( 3 Files ) and when you install 3 files ROM , Every things Should be Ok.

Hey there,
Did you flash an ICS/JB rom first before trying to return to stock?
If you did, no worries, it can be easily fixed
I think what you're missing is a file called dbsdata.rfs.tar (I'm not quite sure where to find a link, will update if I see it)
Pretty much the data partition in ICS onwards is different to that of GB, and so therefore it'll cause your phone to bootloop if you have the incorrect data partition.
Download dbsdata.rfs.tar from somewhere and flash it in download mode through Odin.
Try that and please report back
(By the way, don't panic if it bootloops after installing a custom rom. Just take out the battery, go back into recovery and flash again.)

BTW which FC message you getting?
after flash the ROM do you restore your system app?
** donnot restore system apps

I would probably recommend that you try this
in recovery->advance->wipe system
then wipe data/factory reset
then install new rom...maybe this should work
and if not then flash official rom via odin and root it and flash a custom rom that you want

AW: [Q] big problem pls
Flash stock Rom via Odin.
Root, flash a ics custom Rom and than any JB custom Rom.
That fix all Problems i ever had.
