[Q] Unable to flash stock kernel :(

---

I have a x8 unlocked bootloader and rooted .

I have already download the stock kernel .ftf file and flashed it using flashtool for my xperia x8 which is running xperience walkman mod 1.0 but it was no luck ... i tried to flash stock rom first but cwm would not flash it

i did tried to flash the kernel but i boot up it will just stuck at the sony ericsson logo and i am unable to enter recovery ..

Can anyone help me?

Flash stock kernel and use seus

Sent from my X8 using XDA

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
