Seems like you want the kernel of official JB ?
Get the jellybean ftf, and check exclude for everything else except kernel, in order to flash.
If you want the kernel file alone, extract it using flashtools.

its easy if you know linux basics
Use the kernel kitchen by championswimmer
Also u will need kernel.elf to work wid
Just open winrar
Open ftf file wid winrar
Extract kernel.sin
Use flashtool to dump data of kernel.sin to get a elf file to play wid
Yes u will need cygwin wid dependencies like wget p7zip etc

I'm bringing the Firmware, Baseband 015 (Last) + Stock Kernel Version Last For Who does not think the Kernel OF X8 Original E15a Or E15i
Link To Original Firmware OF x8 (E15a):
http://www.4shared.com/file/R3JwSItI/Xperia_X8_E15a_1243-9502.html
X8.sin: http://www.4shared.com/file/v4sXmOT6/x8_online.html?cau2=403tNull
Rename the file from the BootLoader "x8.sin" to "loader.sin." Make sure you have spelled correctly. Then copy it to the folder where you put the Firmware Kernel X8 + E15a and REPLACE the file "loader.sin" above.
Link For X8 E15i:

It is not necessary X8.bin,
for E15i, only download the firmware + Kernel

Try extracting it first.
Yes,..it´s not that simple..I finally found a solution in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1731413 However, Flashtool still doesn´t recognize. Conversion is ok, but it seems it´s missing a "title" or something because it doesn´t see the .ftf file. Rgds
extract it, a simple job, even my nephew can do it

I recently unlocked my BootLoader, now i hav a question.
if i flash with a custom kernel can i go back to the stock one? and do i need to take a backup of my stock kernel? if yes then how?
Yes u can reflash back to stock kernel using flashtool, and no u cannot backup running kernel, either stock or custom.

those are .ftf files, on those files i also found 'kernel.sin'(opening with winrar). so to go back in stock kernel would i hav to flash .ftf (in flashmode) or hav to flash kernel.sin(in fastboot mode)??
Since it is kernel.sin and not boot.img so u'll have to flash it using flashmode and you can see how it's done in the tutorial(link which I provided)....

yes u can go back to stock kernel....but ur cwm will be lost...
u can find the stock rooted kernels here....

I flashed the generic ftf file via flashtool n i got stock rom+ stock kernel is it the right way? And what if i extract "kernel.sin" from generic and flash it with fastboot mode(as fastboot support flash .img & .sin),is this way possible?( In this way i can go back to stock kernel without loosing custom rom)

You can just flash the kernel.sin in flashmode and u'll not lose ur rom....(I think so)

Then you can use flashtool to flash kernel
Open at the directory you have installed flashtool exp( c>flashtool then click driver folder)
Tick your phone, flashmode and fastboot driver
Then you can flash kernel using fastboot mode
(select thunder icon in flashtool then select fastboot then select reboot to fastboot mode (at right) and then select kernel to flash, after everything done you have to select reboot device into system

Well you can give a shot to both kernel if one doesnt works you can try the other. And to flash only kernel, in flashtool exclude evereything except kernel and dont wipe anything

Well you can ask one of the XU users to send you the kernel.sin and then you can pack it as ftf(u can use my ftf maker tool) and finally flash with flashtool. It must work Someone correct me if I'm wrong
