If you want to Flash a Costume Kernel the only way of doing it is by Unlocking your Bootloader first. There isn't another way to be able to Flash a Costume Kernel. But if you want you can still Install a Costume ROM that is made for Stock Kernel.
Here is a link to a list of ROMs both for Stock Kernel and Costume Kennel:
Kernels and ROMs for the SE Xperia X8

thanks

which is the correct software for my tab?

hi everybody. i have a p1000 and i am wondering what is the correct software i need to download in order to go from froy to gingerbread? it says jk5 jj7 kernel 2.6.32.9 and i am from greece . when i do the thing with the IMEI i see it is using COS. thanks for you help as you proably realize i am a complete newbie
Go to the stock JQ1 gingerbread prepared by Chainfire. Use the version with the bootloader. Then flash the Chainfire v3.3 rooted kernel.
From this, you can flash any other rom you like.
i suggest you follow this guide http://p1000.teamovercome.net/?page_id=64

Rooting a branded phone

Hey everyone. I am very interested in rooting, and hopefully flashing once i have done the basic root first. Please can you answer each question I have an Orange branded SGS GT-i9000. Here are the specs:
FW Version: 2.3.5
Baseband Version: I9000BVJV3
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-I9000BVJVC-CL679241 [email protected] #2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.BVJVC
Question 1: do i need to know the whole of the kernel or just part of it?
Question 2: I always see rooting guides saying 'How to root (FW version) JV(something). Where does the JV come from, as i have 2 types of JV, JV3 and JVC. So what does rooting depend on other than firmware version?
Question 3: I have noticed the Orange firmware is a different JV. So how do i know the root will work with my version as the root guides are always on stock roms?
Thanks in advance : )
Hello Tarnwilliamson, I think I am in the same boat as you, I also am on Orange with the same spec phone as you wanting to root. I was just wondering have you found out anything about rooting this phone? I have searched dev and q & a section but there seems to be no posts on this topic. I dont want to start a new thread so I though I would ask you first. Thank u in advance.
hello
You may try with Super one click root or try to flash your rom with odin to STOCK ROM (i have I9000xxjvu for example) and use CFROOT for your rom with PDA in odin. That gives u the root accsess, superuser and busybox ( CFroot IS A KERNEL) it is many subject on XDA.
Hello Marcinrek21, Thank you for your reply. As my Build number ends with jvc isnt there a specific file I need to flash with if using Odin? Or am I mistaken and I can flash with any cf root file as long as it is for a gt19000? As for super one click is that still compatibable with 2.3.5 as I remember reading somewhere the bootloader may be locked with gingerbread? Thank you in advance.

Help with rooting stock rom

HI guys
im new to the galaxy, been using the g2x for a while. i read all the guides here and on another forum and i still need some help. i want to root my phone, its with a stock rom:
2.3.3
baseband: I9000JHJV9
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9000JHJVG-CL788779
[email protected]#2
Build number: GINGERBREAD.JHJVG
i know i need to replace the kernel with a modified one. could not find anything suitable since the build and baseband are too new (HJV9!?)
will this kernel do?

That should do it. In case anything goes wrong always have a stock rom on your PC and remember to read on how to flash with Odin (Samsung tool to flash roms and kernel's)
Once u start flashing there is no turning back...it's that much fun

[Q] Install custom rom or upgrade Android in X8 after 11w29

Hi guys!
I just got a X8 and I want to upgrade Android to be able to take more advantage of it.
Here is my X8 description:
Model: E15a
Firmware: 2.1-update1
Baseband: M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404006
Kernel: 2.6.29
Compilation number: 2.0.1.A.0.47
The number behind the battery is 11w45.
I read that models after 11w29 get hard bricked when trying to unlock the bootloader.
Do I have any chance to upgrade the Android version or installing custom roms?
If you have any ideas how to make this little smartphone a little more performant will be apreciated!
Thanks you!
Yes. There are roms made for stock kernel. You just need to root and install recovery. Search for guides for more details.

Nice. Which rom made for stock kernel do you recommend?
Can I update my baseband to 015 or I need to leave it that way because the hard bricking problem?
Thanks for your time!

Afaik, it's bootloader unlocking that causes hard brick. Update your baseband as well. The most popular roms for stock are gdx (2.3), froyopro, and froyobread. Just read how to flash them carefully and you should be fine.
