Fastboot.
you cant get stuck on fastboot if your phone is not connected to the PC or am i wrong ?!
flash a new firmware via flashtool you can download it in the Android development section
to get the phone to flashmode press volume down, hold it and connect it to the PC , flashtool will recognize it.
then click on the lighting on the upper left and choose flashmode, then choose the firmware you want to flash.

Read the guide before you began rooting?
But there should be a reboot menu in recovery.. Try that or else you might have flashed something wrong

I got it... You must have flashed a wrong kernel for your phone.
Are you on gb/ics?
Choose the right kernel for your os.
Then choose the appropriate kernel for the firmware. (it's like .452,.45,etc)
Now flash the kernel through command prompt using fastboot method.

Could it be due to locked bootloader?
Also install the file in the flashtool\drivers folder to make sure it's not a driver issue
And update flashtool to v8.5.0/8.6.0

Agreed with senior. Drivers might not be installed properly, or flashing wrong files. Make sure X10 Brand name exists in flashtool alright.

Bootloader have two types: Locked Bootloader and Unlocked Bootloader. Normally Developers will provide 2 version of ROMs to be flashed. Safest flashing for Locked Bootloader is via Xrecovery, while Unlocked Bootloader is Flash FTF Kernel and recommended Recovery. You can check/identify your Bootloader Status and also Simlock Certificate (see whether Suitable to be unlocked bootloader) via S1tool by senior 9luka5
link for S1tool here For more tutorial, you can visit my signature links for PDf guides. Thank you. Cheers

Download the latest version of flashtool v0.9... I think u can unlock bootloader by going to "plugins" tab right next to help....it would show up only if your bootloader is locked... once you unlock then you can flash any kernel you want... remember to backup your existing ROM using recovery before you go around messing with phone

Before I can give you any link I have small question... is your phone rooted? And what version of android you r running ? And if its a custom ROM then what ROM are you using?
BTW you can't flash custom kernel without unlocking bootloader.. you need to unlock bootloader to flash kernel... kernels are usually ftf files you can download them and flash using flashtool.... different ROMs have different kernel so you need to read instructions on ROM thread you r interested in...

You have soft bricked your phone.. don't worry, download a ROM which you can use for locked bootloader and follow the steps and you should be good to go... to get into flash mode try this.... don't connect your phone but start Seus-> update software-> repair-> software will ask you to get into flash mode so turn off phone by removing battery, connect the phone without battery-> place the battery while holding the back button down and phone will get into flash mode and stock ROM will be flashed...

u cannot flash firmware in CWM, only zip files. ICS is stock Firmware and has to be installed through flashtool or PC companion
If you want stock Rom download ics ftf and flash it using flashtool then you have to root your mobile again
If you want a costom rom
First you have to flash a ics kernel using flashtool
Then install the zip using cwm

You can Install a kernel in fastboot only!!
1. Shut down your phone
2. Hold the volume down key
3. Plug the USB cable and release the volume button
4. A blue LED should light
5. Flash the kernel.
6. Enter CWM and delete all the caches
