You're pretty ambitious lol. I have to say, X8 doesn't support Jelly Bean on stock kernel. me myself own X8, and I have Gingerbread on it, and I haven't unlocked my bootloader. keep in mind that installing other kernel requires an unlocked bootloader.

those thread can help you:

Thanks very much for the reply & the links. I was under the impression upgrading a phones OS was like a computer & you could just update to the latest no matter the device?

these are custom ROMs. in this case, each custom ROM is customized for a particular device so you will need to look for the specific ROM for your X8 like the links given above.
