[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 have my backup of stock rom.. if I restore from recovery, must I flash first a stock kernel too?? Is not the kernel in the backup?

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

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]flashing kernel while using custom rom

i have unlocked Bootloaderand i wanna flash nAa kernel while using custom rom.will that work? or flash back to stock kernel first?
need answer as fast as possible
sorry for my bad english

Yeah it will work if the rom supports that kernel.Just wipe the dalvik cache before flashing
Sent from my Worlds using xda premium

Just transfer the nAa ROM into your SD card, flash the nAa kernel and when your phone boots up, open CWM and install the ROM.

i see now... if stuck on SE logo then i'll have to rein stall the rom again?

If You flash nAa kernel there won't be SE logo. It will be nAa logo And don't worry about stuck - there's a built-in recovery in nAa kernel, so even if You forgot to copy compatible ROM to SD card there's always an option to enable USB storage via CWM recovery. But make sure You have backup Your contacts / apps / messages etc before do anything.

oh....i never flashed kernel before...
after i unlocked bootloader then my phone hard bricked and sent to repair for 1 month+
after i get it back i checked whether the bootloader unlocked or not it surprisingly unlocked @@ and i was like

So now go ahead and install kernel and then ROM following the instructions and good luck.

[Q] Afeter unlock bootloader i can´t run any ROM....helP!!!

X8 ....After unlocking bootloader it went out of SIM signal....imanage to solve this problem.
But i have a mayor problem: I`ve tried to install GingerDx, PrimeHD, MiniCM9, on Sock and Custom Kernels and it always stuks at booting.
Before unlocking bootloader stock kernel ROMs were runnig all right, even PrimeHD 7.0 with nAa 11 worked but not anymore.
Anyone knows what is happening, should i relock and unlock it again?

Yes...full wipe= Done...but doesn`t work after full wipping.

well are you sure you have unlocked your bootloader?
re-check with s1tool...if it's unlocked then with flashtool go back to stock rom,kernel(android 2.1) and then root it again install recovery and then first try to install some other rom for stock kernel and then install custom kernel and then custom ROM
Pay attention on your ftf kernel files...i accidently downlaoded U20 nAa kernel instead of x8 nAa kernel...and guest what-->that kernel didn't work so whatch out for which phone is ftf kernel file
i hope i helped

I finally solve it!!!
Idon`t know how but i repeat the same procedure time after time and i can finally instal GingerDx v025 in Stock kernel.
Thanks to everyone that helped me!!!

problem flash kernel

Hello everyone I have a problem I do not understand how to install the kernel on my x8 naa ics with stock rom and bootloader unlocked. I have to flash the kernel of the first stock rom and install minicm9, I fear to brick the phone.
sorry for my english

Flash kernel first and at boot enter recovery and flash the ROM.
Sent from my X8 to your screen

Flash kernel, enter recovery, then flash the ROM and GApps.
Then full wipe and wipe cache and dalvik cache. Then, reboot.
