Yes, follow the instructions in the thread I pointed out to you. You will not be able to boot system as you have a custom kernel with a stock system.
The next instruction I gave in that thread was to boot to recovery and flash the update.zip. Do that to install the correct system for that kernel.
Also, when you unlocked the bootloader there was no need to root the phone, just install the custom kernel and a custom rom was enough..

Put it on your external SD card using a cardreader
if you cannot do that, flash a stock FTF using flashtool and then put it on your sdcard and then flash the boot.img again

That's not an error, you are doing it wrong.
Leave the phone turned off and disconnected
Select the FTF file to flash and only connect in flashmode when prompted to do so

You need to flash a full FTF, look in the mega collection thread for one
The one you flashed does not have a system on it, hence you cannot boot into the system

That should work. Try a different FTF file. Anyone will do as long as its for your device. (C6902 I presume)
Any of these three should work

If your phone is nor c6902 download one for your phone

FTF files cannot be prerooted.
What we are trying to do is get the update.zip onto your sdcard. If you do not have a card reader then we need to get you to boot into the system first so you can transfer it via USB cable.
Please flash a full FTF and boot into the system

Which rom did you try to flash?
Have you unlocked the bootloader?
My guess is that you have not unlocked and tried to flash CM (Or vice versa)
If you have not unlocked, then you can repair using pccompanion.
Or if you have (and also have not) unlocked you can flash a stock ftf in flashtool

Pac rom requires a custom kernel
Flash a stock ftf in flashtool (Needs flashmode, phones should always be able to get into flashmode)
Then start again

How do I flash a 4.1.2 rom that requires 12.0.A.2.254 ?

wat exactly you want to know? the software to flash? or ROM's supported?
If software than you can use flashtool to flash your stuff and if supported ROM's than i'll suggest you to go for ExistenZ ROM v1 which is based on 12.0.A.2.254, here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2478019

did you already search for a solution for your Problem on XDA and google? sorry for being a prick, but I would guess you haven't...
It seems thet you can still get into flashmode. try to flash a stock kernel via fastboot flash boot boot.img. find the advanced stock kernel that fits your ROM in the Advanced stock kernel thread in original android development.
also try flashing a rom with fastboot mode.

Have you tried using the official Sony 'EMMA' restore service for unlocked bootloaders?

I want to install SlimRom on my X8, but i need this kernel and this is the only one not working
It says SlimRom support Oxydo-JB kernel too, but when i flash, it give me an error with assert et getprop.
I tried to delete these lines but after that, it say me just " Installation aborted staus(0) "
Help would be welcome
Thanks
Redownload the kernel and try again. You could also try with a newer version of flashtool...
Thanks for your answer
I re-downloaded the kernel a lot of but it didn't work
I'll try with a newest version of flashtool
Don't work with the new version too ! :crying:
Another idea ?

How did you unlock the bootloader, have you by any chance unlocked it with wotan?
Also it seems that you are not the only one.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48996325&postcount=137
Maybe just flash an older version.

If it was from xda then it wasn't wotan.
I don't know exactly, I think that the option "No final verification" in flashtool is about checking if you are flashing something that it made for your phone, but I could be totally wrong....
I don't know what else you can try, if with the "No final verification" ticked it didn't work then there must be another problem...
No one had this problem before me ?
But what the hell ??
I re-flashed again oxydo kernel and now the installation of SlimRom works !!
But the naa kernel doesn't work
EDIT: The installation don't work if you flashed Oxydo, and for the first time you go in TWRP Recovery, you MUST first install the ROM with CWM

[Q] Bricked, Sony logo bootloop

I want to start over but I'm stuck. I'm on Linux and I`ve tried virtually everything on FlashTool
Using FlashTool I downloaded and created FTF for c6902 IN 157, and flashing fails at:
- Processing system.sin
17/036/2015 01:36:30 - INFO - Checking header
17/036/2015 01:36:31 - INFO - Flashing data

17/042/2015 01:42:48 - ERROR - ERR_SEVERITY="MINOR";ERR_CODE="0017";ERR_DYNAMIC="0x8009001C ";
I cant find readymade FTF anywhere, not even on mega FTF thread (most links are broken there). May be there is something wrong with the way FlashTool builds FTF, if someone can point to readymade FTF, it would be great.
What firmware version have you got, should be like 14.4.a.something
If you download CWM recovery and install a custom rom does that work?
I had some issues with FTF and flashtools, I have now installed CWM and a custom lollipop ROM.
Not bricked.
1) try with windows machine
2) different USB port
3) download a the correct ftf for your region
4) or do a recovery from PC companion
