Flash stock kernel and use seus

To the best of my knowledge, you can flash kernels only via flashtool. CWM won't help. And the kernel .ftf file must have a loader.sin in addition to a kernel.sin when viewed via flashtool.
I remember a day I flashed my X8 37 times within 24hours! At times, it would get temperamental & fail to boot beyond the SE logo screen for reasons it alone knows. Cheer up. And get flashing!
Hmmm... i dont want to use SEUS because by then i would have to reroot and even unlock bootloader again i tried couple of times to flash the stock kernel but my phone just stuck at the se logo

Which kernel are you tried to flash? You can use flashtool to flash your kernel, and install ROM with CWM! If you are flashing aNa kernel, CWM is already built-in. If you still struck at SE logo, mean your kernel is not flash yet.

Well, there's actually still ADB but it carries a certain amount of risk. With flashtool, most of that is obviated. If you need more information, scout the Android Development section for related topics.
Search in the Flashtool post the list of official firmwares, and flash one of these (yes, only that )
If the links are dead, send me a PM and I will give you the ftf that I have
I do have the .ftf file and flashed it.. but my phone will just stuck there
Hi. I am on GingerDX v024 now and i wanted to flash Alfs 8a kernel, and when I did, I stuck at infinite bootloop (Alfs logo>reset>alfs logo...and so on) I flashed then older 8 version, and even stock kernel but it didn't help. Only way to fix it was by flashing it back to stock 2.1 and again install GDX v024. So now there is a question: my baseband is 006, is it the problem that I'm stuck on bootloop after installing a kernel for this ROM? Thanks in advance!

You surely need a newest baseband xxx015. You can update your baseband by PC companion.
Then reinstall the rom, full wipe then flash alfs.
Thanks for reply Can I do this via Flashtool (because Companion doesn't work)? And which .ftf file should I choose? And can I do this on current GDX v024 or flash it back to stock 2.1??
Yes, you can use FlashTool. Download the ftf file from here. Isn't necessary back to stock 2.1
So if I have E15i, then I should go for "E15i Baseband 015", right? I'd rather ask ten times, than crying after bricked phone

Yes, you're right
Hi, i want to have my c6943 rooted and with cwm recovery. Currently i got this using doomlord kernel, but my digital tv isn't working. So, i want to flash a stock kernel, but i just have the stock ftf firmware. If i extract the ftf, get the meta-inf folder, the kernel.sin and the loader.sin and 7-zip in a .ftf file i can flash it without problem?
Or there is a more elaborated way to create a ftf flashable file?
Also, how can i get cwm recovery with stock firmware?
Don't want to flash stock firmware because i would lose root...
You can flash stock kernel by excluding everything in flashtool, and keeping ONLY kernel.

If if you are not able to, you can always flash stock ftf file from here:

i was on .569 fw before and i try to update it to the latest fw which is .283 using pc companion. after i try to update it, it says update failed. it is because i rooted and unlocked my bootloader before.
so i relocked my bootloader and flash stock .569.ftf using flashtool. and try to update to .283 using pc companion again. it finally worked. i succesfully upgraded my phone to the latest fw .283.
but then i realised root is gone, and i cant access cwm reovery when phone boots and pressing volume down button over and over again.
so i guess my cwm recovery is gone too.
so since im on fresh stock .283 fw, i need someone to give me a cwm recovery for me to flash on fastboot mode using flashtool.
and can i root .283 just by flashing superuser.zip that i flashed on .269 to root .283?
thanks in advance. i need it urgent though.

You will need to flash .230 kernel then root using any method mentioned ( like towel root) then re-flash the .283 kernel. once you have root, you can flash NUT's recovery for your phone. you can not directly flash. you will need to use computer to run recovery batch file
