[Q] Flashing Kernel

Hey people,
i was reading a lot of posts and topics and i'm really really really very confuse now.
Some people say that we put the kernel file in the Flashtool folder, blablabla, and then we flash, blabla, some people say we have to change another file and make a bundle or whatever and blablabla, blablabla, blablabla! a lot of ways are told in the different topics
I just want to know exactly all the steps from downloading the kernel to turn on the phone with the new kernel (i already unlocked the bootloader sucessfully)
If theres differents steps from kernel to kernel, i just want the steps for the FXP Kernel and (if diferent) to the CM Kernel.
Thanks in advance

I did like that :
1.download kernel linuxdx
2.put ftf to firmwares folder in flashtool
3. Run flashtool
4.press flash
5. Select linuxdx kernel
6. Flashed linuxdx in less than 2minutes
7.take out the cable
8. Boot phone, install gingerdx
9.reboot
10.Enjoy new kernel and ROM

So... what about the loader? We don't need to do nothing to that? And is that the same process to FXP Kernel?

If I try the linuxdx kernel and want to switch back to original kernel that I am using how would I do this? Do I have to back up the kernel to use it again? If so, how would I do that?
Thank you for your help!

Just download stock kernel too, it is posted in few places on forum.
If you will not want LDX ot FXP kernel then you just flash stock one.
Remember about full wipe if any problems after changing rom or kernel.
Also stock kernel will NOT have recovery... do backups! ;]

Thank you for your help!

That "bla bla bla bla bla" way is the correct way!

If you are useing per made kernel like linuxdx.04
loader is all ready in the ftf file
If you get a file call kernel.sin then you will need. The loader.sin
And make a ftf file in flash tool
super.sense on x8

[Q] Boot loader

Heya!
I've a question. THat if i unlock my boot loader, and flash a new kernel, will i need to reinstall my current rom, or its not important?

It is depending on the fact that your current rom is compatible with the kernel or not?
Gingerdx-->Alfs or ldx
minicm7.2-->naA kernel.
Hope this will help ...

Just a suggestion: unlock bootloader after restoring phone with seus to base 2.1, so there will be far less (or none) problem through the procedure.

One question, the recommended step if i want to flash custom kernel n rom is:
-flash kernel first,then rom
Or
-flash rom,then kernel..?
Sent from my E15 using xda premium

First flash kernel. I think you can do the opposite, but flashing kernel first is the best solution.

i read that after unlocking bootloader, the xrecovery no longer works. so if i flash back my phone to 2.1, if i root and install xrecovery, will the xrecovery works..? or i must install CWM instead..?
and what i must do if i want to flash a ROM that need to be flash with xrecovery..?

Install the Dual-Mode recovery with x8Toolbox, that'll give you xRecovery AND CWM.

Használd a SEUS-t inkább. Ott kiválasztod, hogy X8-ad van, és ráflasheli az E15 firmware-jét, utána szerintem menni fog.

Use SEUS instead of PCC. There you can chose that you've got X8, then it will flash E15 firmware, then I think it will work.

Köszi szèpen! / thx

have i change a kernel ??

Hello Guys..I am Experia user,.now I want to learn about how to mod Galaxy mini.
questions :
~Have I change a kernel to upgrade or install custom rom ??
~which one of stable rom ?? based Cm7, Cm9 or Cm10 ??
~which rom will give me more free ram and perfomance ??
Any one would help me ??Thanks....
(sorry for my English )

first you will need to be on gingerbread
then you should install cwm recovery from Odin (no unlocking required)
then just choose your favourite rom and flash with cwmr

I search and get a thread that I can start to root and instal cwm on froyo ,is that right?
how about kernel and unlock bootloader ??do you mean the default kernel has support all custom rom ??

no need to root froyo just upgrade to gb with the help of Odin multi downloader
we have recovery.img so no need to change the kernel and in every rom its supported kernel is baked

so I must upgrade to official ginger then rooting and instal cwm ??

yes you will need to be on gingerbread either official or unofficial
and rooting is not required to install cwm recovery
and a big warning is do not use rom manager on this phone to install cwm, mobile will get brick

do you mean no need root to upgrade & mod this device??

yes no root for installing custom rom
as we are not flashing recovery from from manager and Odin do not require root
but if you want to be on stock and want to modify it then you will need root

Thanks for your time....nice to see this forum,God bless you !!!

Edit. I Took My backup from sdcard to My pc. returned to stock and restored it. Solved.

Revert to Stock Kernel & ROM issue!

Hi Guys,
I have my x8 phone running on nAa's latest v6 kernel with ZenceFil ROM(GB 2.3.7) with ofcourse an un-locked bootloader. But now i want to move back to stock settings.
I had made a backup using xRecovery before installing these mods, so my question is, how to I restore that xRecovery backup along with the stock kernel which i already got from the unlock bootloader thread??
I tried flashing the stock kernel but then the phone just get's stuck in the boot logo page with Sony Ericsson logo, can't even open the recovery, which i guess is not included in the stock kernel file.
I tried installing xRecovery by copying its files to /system/bin but still i have CWM as recovery!
Please advise...
p.s. I saw this thread, but the solution provided there is not working for me as PCC is not helping, it juts say's no s/w found for your device. Also I don't want to lock the boot loader.

Flash stock 2.1 trough flash tool>root it>instal xrecovery and then restore backup.

I have downloaded the stock 2.1 rom but how do i flash a ROM using flash tool? I don't see that option..

Flash it like kernel.

NAA6 is using difrent system-data partition size. If you want to move to other kernel you need first boot into cwm and format data and system partitions, then flash other kernels.
You can also flash your phone with SEUS and you will have stock rom-kernel like you had when you bouth the phone (if your bootloader was unlocked SEUS will leave it unlocked).

Stock rom and kernel you can flash using Flash Tool, just move the ftf file (for exemple 2.1.1.C.0.0.ftf) move this to the FIRMWARE flashtool' folder. Open flash tool and click on the "lightning" icon, (on old version click on flash) and select flash mode. Turn off the phone and flash it like a normal kernel.

But the stock rom that i downloaded has no ftf file! It's a normal backup have 4 .img files.. how do i flash that?

You could use SEUS. It will install the newest firmware for x8 and it won't relock bootloader (for me it don't relock it), but you have to root your phone and install xrecovery one more time.
