Did you "Full Wipe (Factory Reset)" after flashing the ROM?
If not ... keep tapping on the screen when the white Sony Ericsson logo shows up to get into CWM and full wipe.
Works now?

Thanks for your reply,
I've done full wipe but its not working.

Ok, then let's dive deeper into the matter ...
- You run a custom kernel?
If yes, which one?
- How did you flash the ROM? ClockworkMod recovery or xRecovery?
If you flashed with xRecovery you did wrong. Re-flash the ROM with CWM.
- In case you are on Stock Kernel, did you flash the Stock Kernel add-on?

If you are not using custom kernel and not on stock kernel, so what kernel are you on, my friend?

Since I am still missing a "Works now" post here (apart from a "Thanks") ...
You now see the bold red text that outlines the problem why your ROM does NOT boot?
Oh, and since you ARE on Stock Kernel (2.1.1.A.0.6) do NOT forget the also flash the Stock Kernel Add-On in CWM - or you will have just the next torrent of problems after you.

[Q] Can I Go back to Stock 2.1 with unlocked bootloader?

Hi guys, I have a X8 with GingerDX 21 and doixanh linuxkernel 004.
I'm going to sell my Xperia and the new owner wants to go back to my backup of stock eclair 2.1...
Can I restore with CMW? I made it with xrecovery... If not, how can I start the xrecovery instead cmw?
Can I restore the backup with no problems with my bootloader unlocked?
You can recover the stock kernel and stock ROM to the device. There should be links to those around here somewhere.
Also, you can try to install xRecovery again, but i'm not sure if this is possible when CWM is installed already..

I think that theres an option to restore xRecovery backup in CWM.

NAND backup (made with recovery) only backups ROM, so, yes, you will have to flash stock kernel as well.
-Install stock rom with cwm or xrecovery (phone will bootloop) then
-Flash stock kernel..
There u go...

You should use the Flashtool link, which flashes the stock ROM & stock kernel at once

Use PCC/SEUS to get back to stock , then re-root.
Flash recovery and install a ROM for STOCK KERNEL if you aren't unlocking your bootloader.

Are you sure the ROM is stock kernel compatible.
And first you installed xrecovery , then flashed CWM ? Why so ?

flash naa jb again.. then go in mount and storage. and mount system and data.. and format cache data and system..then flash stock again.. cwm will work..
I suggest you to reinstall stock firmware (Kernel+Stock 2.1) using SEUS and first get a running 2.1.
then install xRecovery or CWM and flash GingerDX,(using x8toolbox) as i know you can't flash a rom first and then kernel(correct me if i'm wrong)
