Kernel nAa is for MiniCM7 ROMs (and based-on ROMs). So You can choose between f.eg. original MiniCM7 2.1.9, iROM v005, GingerXperiaRay.
The ROM You mentioned is for ALFS kernel
If You unlocked Your bootloader it will be unlocked, even if You flash stock ROM. But if You do so You will have to change kernel and root Your phone again, cause stock ROM works only on stock kernel

No.
To flash new kernel bootloader need to be unlocked.
I think I managed to make the bootloader, I might say where do I find karnel ALFS v5 I found only this alfasansung SEMC-kernel-92MB is that just do not know if it is, thanks
Link in 1st post or Alfs kernel thread. Kernel zipped is about 4mb big.

Which rom you are using to unlock bootloader
It only works with stock rom
that's false information you have given. It will also work with custom ROM 2.2 2.3 as well -at least as far as unlocking by using flashtool 0.5.3 is concerned.
They want you to stick with stock ROM 2.1 because there's less risk of screwing things up. There are various persons who have unlocked their bootloader using custom ROM such as gingerdx and gingerexperia.
There are never any official words that come out and say "don't use custom ROM" but if you look at the code where they patch things you only see that they need a stock kernel and rooted system to work with, nothing more than that!

Alfs kernel or nAa kernel are pretty good. GingerDx is my favourite ROM.
Well your bootloader is unlocked so either of the kernels have CWM recovery installed (xRecovery is pretty much obsolete). "craking bootloader" is legal to do this. An advantage of having Android. Most phones come these days with there bootloaders unlocked.

it mean :
- Download the kernel .ftf file and move it to Flashtool\firmwares so that Flashtool can pick it up
- Flash the kernel via Flashtool (turn off phone, press back button, connect your usb phone cable to computer, see led in your phone blink green, then release back button. flashing should be running.. wait until finished..
- unplug your usb phone cable
- turn on your phone.

First make sure that your phones' bootloader has been unlocked.Then download nAa 11 kernel and MiniCM7.Put the ROM in your SDcard and turn off your phone.Flash nAa 11 kernel.After done flashing kernel,reboot to recovery by pressing back button countinuosly when you see nAa logo.In recovery,do full wipe,wipe cache partition,wipe dalvik cache,flash the ROM and reboot..
Hope I helped you..

first, miniCM7 only built on custom kernel, so you've to unlock your bootloader
and then flash the nAa kernel or AlfsCM7 kernel
about flashing from custom rom, its just the same, you go into the recovery and simply flash it with the right kernel

[Q] Please Help in Installing JellyBean

I have Sony ericsson w8 and I have flash it with x8 kernal (2.0.0.A.53) and installed GingerDx. Now I am putting Jelly bean but the naA jb kernal or Ics kernal is showing 'flashing aborted' while flashing . Neither ICS nor JB is installing on my X8. Now i am running gingerDx..
So please help me in installing JB or ICS custom kernal with full procedure.
Thankyou....
Easy method,
1. flash nAa jb 05
2. flash any jb rom u want as mentioned in thread
3.flash nAa jb 06
Or you can workaround by editing the rom zip but above method is easier
Happy Flashing JB

Can my phone sony ericsson has already bootloader unlocked. is it possible??
no, sony ericsson hadn't been that much of "friendly" to AOSP, you need to check it first with s1tool then if your mfg date is 11w29 below you can unlock it
