kernel direct flashing ?!! - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i've heard from someone that we can flash the kernel directly through our phone without using flashtool is that possible ???!!
Sent from my X8 using xda premium

yes, i think thats possible, I think it is quite complicated to do so since our x8 has lower level of configuration of hardware...

It is possible, Nobodyatall said in the future he will do that!

Well that's a great news let's see who's the first to bring it to our X8.

lots of people knows about it so its true , iam not the only one who wishing something like that afterall

If this is true..does it mean we don't need to unlock boot loader to flash new kernels.

its not done yet , but when its done u will have to unlock bootloader from pc then flash ur desired kernel anytime through cwm recovery no flashtool anymore

i thinks its possible with higher kernels (example 2.6.35) and not with our 2.6.29. but i m not sure.. correct me if im wrong

Help please!

I have Xperia x8 and I want to install ICS 4.0.4 but I need to have Unlocked Bootloader for do that.I looked on net to find how to do that but it's only for 11w29 or lower but my is 11w47 so i don't want to hard brick my phone.So can I install ICS on my x8?
Sadly, you cannot. However, there is an ICS ROM which is made for stock kernel, though it is very buggy and not maintained anymore.

It is recommended to you for not unlocking the bootloader instead of saying No.
It's all upon you to take the risk or not. There are so many buddies who successfully unlock their bootloder and other failed also.
I recommended to you go for stock roms(ginger) e.g.
Gingerdx v28
Kuyadroid 4.5.4
Which not required unlocked bootloder
Yup!!!!

[Q] Custom kernel

My friend have the p970, and he talk me to install a custom rom for he, but any rom need custom kernel. In my xperia x8, to install a custom kernel, need a uncloked bootloader and a flash process in pc. But i see a video showing a instalation of cm10 on p970, without flashing a new kernel with other program, but the kernel change just with a zip instalation.
How can i install cm10 for p970 without unklocking bootloader? Im cofused.
Sent from my X8 using xda premium
Installing a rom on P970 its a pretty simple.
You just need root and recovery... to install a rom just do a full wipe and then install the .zip, search on general section about how to make root.
Just this? Isnt necessary to unclock bootloader to flash cm10 and flash a kernel with a program?
Sorry for noob question and bad english

Nope, because our bootloader is unlocked. Kernel comes with the flashable .zip file, so no need for additionally flashing anything after

[Q] Couple of boot loader unlocking doubts...

Helloo Everybody..
I will be really grateful if someone found a solution to my problem...
I know that this is not a support site, but a developers world, but after searching and googling, i couldnt help my self.
Mods can close and delete this thread if they want.
My question is that if I flash a Gingerbread kernel(nAa or Alfs) on ECLAIR 2.1...wont it create problems..such as force closing or rebooting sort of problems??
Secondly I read SpydeX thread of unlocking bootloader..i got all the tools ready, but the thread doesnt mentions anything about entering into recovery via kernel on ECLAIR 2.1... the guide just tells that after flashing entr into recovery and flash the rom.
I tried this trick on my friends X8, but no success..
Thanxx in advance
If you flash a custom kernel at the eclair while you have locked bootloader,you will have bootloop(it wont boot,but you can easily fix it),if you have unlocked your bootloader it will be fine
As for your second question,you unlock your bootloader,you flash the kernel(which contain cwm),you enter recovery(cwm),and you flash the rom.

No he's got it wrong.
1. You can't flash custom kernels on a locked rom flashtool won't allow it.
2. Flashing a custom kernel on stock 2.1 will cause it to bootloop, what you'd normally do is enter recovery and flash a rom that works with the kernel.

No,users have reported that custom kernels work with stock rom(I remember very clear a user who used naa kernel with stock rom)
Maybe older versions...
If I'm wrong then I apologize

Just root> unlock bootloader> flashthe kernel kernel (nAa/Oxydo-JB) if you want to Jelly Blur (CM10) rom what it takes to unlock the kernel
In this way, what you gave it a quick and convenient, and look closely and you can unlock the bootloader here on the forum you will find step-by-step instructions
Also good luck and best regards

I dont understand it right. Iam now back on stock because i bricked the phone.
What i did is root stock, after that i unlocked bootloader, then i installed cwm and then i want to install kernel for jellyblur but everytime i do that my phone bricks. How exactly i have to flash the kernel? After flashing kernel i format system and data like in instruction. I rebooted then phone without flashing jellyblur i think this is the problem. I have to fladh kernel then go in cwm formatting system and data and without exiting flashing jellyblur is this right?

Don't you have the T-Mobile US branded variant of the Z (C6606)? If so, you cannot flash any custom kernel as your bootloader cannot be unlocked. (I know your signature says C6603, but the model number changes if you flash an unbranded rom).
To check for yourself if your bootloader can be unlocked, enter *#*#7378423#*#* in the dialler, then look in Service info, Configuration.

So does that mean I can't install roms either?? I can boot into recovery and all that

You can flash stock based roms only. Anything that requires a custom kernel (CM/AOSP/AOKP/PAC etc) are not able to be flashed on a locked bootloader.
