Hey the latest hours I've been trying to get jellybean 4.x.x on my xperia x8 with no success. I started with rooting it and getting xrecovery installed. And then I unlocked bootloader using flashtool. Then i flashed the kernel used to the rom i found. Then i installed the rom from xrecovery and now its bricked. Or atleast stuck at boot. How can I get this to work? I'm out of ideas..

Are you sure your bootloader is unlocked? I see the SE logo and the kernel for jb does not show that. You're still on stock kernel afaik.

Mate as said by the above user,i dont think u have unlocked your bootloader,secondly if u are flashing a jellybeab rom then u should flash it using ClockWorkMod Recovery and not Xrecovery..Unlock your bootloader if u have not,and then flash custom kernel which has been specified in the rom thread..Follow the instructions in the rom thread and everything will work fine....all the best mate:good:

Well how do I unlock bootloader the correct way? Because when I did it with flash tool it said on the flashtool that it sent a couple of files in and it rebooted and in to flashmode and lot's of stuff. And then it said "bootloader should now be unlocked" so I thought I did it..

Hey, now when I've got the bootloader unlocked and CWM installed. I tried to flash a kernel for 'MiniCM9-3.0.5-shakira.zip' The kernel is 'E15_nAa-ics-04_2.6.29.6-nAa-ics-04.ftf' but when I flashed it using flashtool 0.9.11.0 it says "flashing finished" but when I go in to the settings on the X8 and at the bottom >about phone and kernel-version. It says '2.6.29 [email protected] #1' did I succeed with the flashing? Because I have no idea. :what:

Yes, you will need to root you X8, Intall a custom recorvey, then Flash a rom!
I recommend Gingerdx 22 (New one is not as good as before...)

You need root privileges to unlock Bootloader. It says it on the unlocker cmd file. "Getting root rights" or something similar.
Actually, you need to root to do pretty much everything here on XDA.

Hi guyz
I returned to stock eclair using the files in B.jay's cloud share but now i can't flash new roms .... (it stucks in CUSTOM kernel logo)... i thought this maybe because of relocking bootloader so i tried to unlock it using CMD files but it said : process is not permitted. and exited./
SO NOW WHAT SHOULD I DO TO UNLOCK IT AGAIN OR ANY OTHER WAYS?
Try updaten ur fone via update service an start over .use flashtools to unlock bootloader . Guess it will help u.

Reflash stock rom and kernel.
Root your phone.
Unlock the BL on your phone.
Flash a custom rom and kernel if needed.
FULL WIPE and wipe cache and dalvik cache then reboot.

Try with nAa ics kernel and MiniCM9. Does your baseband end in 015? Oh and reflash stock with PC Companion or SEUS first before retrying the steps.

but i have not checked the baseband.
EDIT: O O.My baseband no. is:

How should i change this since i can't use PCC Update?

Hi Guys!
Present unlock bootloader from firmware V30B.
This is bootloader was unlocked user nikname payback from russian forum 4pda.ru and make on IDA Pro disassembler, an analog unlock bootloader on LG Optimus L7
This full work with original kernel.
Dont enter into recovery before flash it!
Enter in recovery from switch off the phone
Press hold button Volume plus and G, and press Power.
Unlocked bootloader correctly working with CWM 6.0.1.4 only
Move this two files, bootloader and recovery to the root of memory sdcard;
Enter in the command line
su
dd if=/sdcard/u-boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
And reboot or reboot recovery.
Or download exe file, and switch on usb debugging mode on the phone and start exe file.
Patching firmware V30B CIS for SFT with add unlock bootloader and CWM recovery is here: http://disk.yandex.ru/public/?hash=MbUS7VP/Xt3wCJ1GisQ5g8sfgRnBUuhURSpxcqWr+jM=.
This firmware without root. Superuser in attach. Flash in CWM.
Sorry for my English.
Not bad... This is useful to Redy. Since there's hardware keys to boot to recovery. And a recovery finally for him.
I'll compile my kernel with orig boot args to be able to use this bootloader. Good job.
