[H] Unlocked bootlaoder

Hi i am using x8 and i unlocked the bootlaoder put thealfs kernel butafter that stock rom cant load and icant upload my gingerdx rom any ideas how to fix ?
One more thing after i unlocked the Bl before i put alfs kernel i had no signal

Relock your bootloader and try unlocking again with Setool2. That should give you signal back but not sure as I can't really remember .
You should have flashed a custom before flashing a kernel. Go into recovery by pressing back button on logo, go down to mounts and storage then mount USB. Then copy the rom over.

I have no intentions to pay for this tool setool2 moreover i uplaoded the kernel and the rom successfully but the problem is no taht i am stuck at infinity loop on GingerDX logo... :X
I will be really glad if someone can help i managed to put new kernel , rom and now i am stuck with infinity boot loop :X:X:X:

Try install back the stock 2.1 eclair with stock kernel and do everything again, use SEUS.

new problem now i restored the bootloader relocked it now ito nly vibrates and nothing happens it tursn off and i can enter in flash mode only. But i cant restore stock kernel icant do anything after i relocked the bootloader
EDIT:
I restored flash kernel but i want new kernel adn when i unlock bootloader there is nos ignal :X:X:

That's not a surprise. Since Alfs has a built-in recovery You should enter to it, then do wipe data / factory reset and then flash ROM using install zip from sd card. Because You had installed ROM before and didn't wipe data - that's why it stuck and it's bootlooping.

New problem mate when i unlock the bootloader i have no signal i put alfs kernel gingerdx runs normally but no signal . I relock the bootloader and than the phone cant boot and i must restore the old kernel:X

Did You check what type of Simlock Certificate is in Your x8 using s1tool? Cause there shouldn't be any problem with signal when it's SEMC... I suppose it's "not recognized simlock certificate" in Your case.

did you try unlock with flashtools? i read somewhere that some people with your same problem works fine with flashtools

I have a problem mounting SD Card

So , i rooted my X8 yesterday and then installed CWM. Everything went fine (I was following tutorials made here - awesome work by the way)
then when i loaded 3 custom roms , i went to CWM made a backup , formated cache , data , system and then when i tried installing them i got the error 7. ive seen that its a common error. So after that , i couldnt load the phone and it was stuck in "Sony Ericsson" screen forever. couldnt load CWM aswell. Then i flashed the original ftf and it booted normally. rooted again and installed CWM. Next thing , i flashed 2.6.29.6-nAa-jb-03 Custom jb kernel. Everything went fine , then i formated data , cache and system. But when i tried to load the Roms it couldnt mount sd card.
So now i can neither install a rom nor restore the phone.
Can someone help me ?
(by the way , phone stays at nAa Freedom Within screen. or the CWM )

What's the point in flashing that kernel?

re insert the sd card, i too have experienced this problem many times, try it mate

Okay , so i tried inserting it again and again. nothing really changed.
Gogeta to be honest , im a total newb @ these things i just started readin about custom roms rooting e.t.c
So , can you tell me why i didnt need to flash that kernel?
i mean i wanted to instal MiniCM10 and the requiremenents were these
Requirements:
Latest 2.1.1.A.0.6/2.1.1.C.0.0 SE firmware / Baseband: M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015
Unlocked bootloader
Latest version of the 2.6.32 nAa JB kernel

latest not old, naa05 is the latest

Oh , so that would be the problem right?
How do i fix this? i need to flash the original tft then root again - install recovery - unlock using s1tool and then flash the latest nAa?
Thank you by the way.

you can enter recovery so you can flash the new version by wiping data cache and system, but first, is your sd card formatted? format it first to avoid those problems

[Q] Xperia SP C5302 Stuck in boot logo! PLEASE HELP!

I was curious about installing custom roms so i decided to try. I successfully had rooted my phone and unlocked the bootloader and i just needed CWM recovery so that I could install CM11 custom rom. I didn't put the custom rom on my phone because I'd figure I would do it after installing CWM but after flashing CWM, I couldn't even go into my stock rom! I tried everything from formatting the cache to the data, I even have TWRP flashed as well but no luck there. I don't want to mess with my phone anymore because I am quite frankly, scared. So all I want to do is remove CWM and TWRP recovery, and flash my stock rom. Oh, and I tried to flash the stock rom with flashtool, that didn't work either
Thanks for the help!
UPDATE: I DOWNLOAD ALL THE DRIVERS FOR FLASHTOOL AND TRIED INSTALLING MY STOCK ROM THROUGH FLASH BOOT AND IT WORKED! SO FAR SO GOOD.
UPDATE 2: ITS WORKING. ALL I DID WAS LOCK MY BOOTLOADER WITH FLASHTOOL AND FLASHED THE STOCK ROM!

I think you could mount the usb storage from CWM, so you could copy the rom you wanted and install it? You could have saved a lot of hassle loool

Help| Recovery for SP in bootloop needed

hey guys I was running cm12 on my sp when I tried updating my recoveries...it installed fine after a reboot it got stuck on bootloop .I know how to recover via flashtool, but that would mean wiping clean my entire internal SD . I was thinking about flashing a custom recovery so that I can backup data . can anyone help on ways to get around this problem.

Is your bootloader locked or unlocked?
