Question in wrong place

Is there an easy way to get something VERY close to stock final ICS but with root and cwm?
I'm not a fan of custom kernels and custom roms.

Flash official ICS, flash custom kernel , the modded stock one, flash the superuser fix , download busybox
Stock ICS with route and cwm
No other way

if you are unlocked to don't have to keep the custom kernel. you can just hotboot the kernel, flash the zip and then reboot and it will be like you never flashed the kernel but you will be rooted.

Yes, I have a unlocked bootloader, but can you flesh out the above details a little bit, as it makes no sense to me

Simple
Flash.custom kernel.with flashtoll
Download superuser.zip from doomed151 in original thread
Flash the superuser.zip through cwm

or

get kernel boot.img with CWM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1591279
then run the command
Code:

be sure to spam vol - or back or what ever the kernel requres to get into CMW on reboot.
flash the SU.zip

You need fastboot.exe. If you have it then first download the SuperUser zip file from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24825517&postcount=105
And put it on your SD card.
Then download any kernel that has CWM support. There is one here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24826349&postcount=110
Then put your phone into fastboot mode (turn it off then plug it in while holding the Back button - the LED will turn BLUE - if it doesn't then try plugging in while holding the MENU button instead, I can never remember which one it is).
Then copy the kernel to your device like this:
fastboot boot recoveryARC.img
Your device will reboot - when the SONY logo goes bright start spamming the VOLUME DOWN button to enter Recovery.
Then flash the SuperUser.zip file from your SD card. Unplug the phone, reboot and you have root access. You should then head to Google Play and download Busybox Installer and install the latest release.
Good luck.

Isn't this the naff Chinese leaked build? Not the final one?
I think i'll wait for the dust to settle, too much hacking and failure stories right now, along with "fluff" from leaked betas and prereleases and lt15i owners trying to get stuff working.

This is the final release. I love it FWIW.
However, installing it was a PITA - I bricked my device three times before I got it right using Flashtool. But it's worth it - I've been running the beta since it was released and the performance of the final release is MUCH better.
Plus they seem to have supercharged the launcher - I'm only getting a redraw if I've been running a heavy game (Temple Run for example). The beta version would reload the launcher a lot.
There will be a new version of Flashtool that will allow the official FTF to be flashed without all the hassle - might be worth waiting for. The issue is with changing the partition table or something.

only fastboot doomkernel
then install su by recovery
then flash stock kernel by flash tool & exclude all other option
and reboot

please can someone find a way too root this firmware without unlocking the bootloader??

[Q] Clockworkmod and icecream sandwitch

I have Clockworkmod installed and now that ice cream sandwich is finally out I want to upgrade my a500. Can someone point me to right firmware and directions.

You will want to upgrade your bootloader first for sure. Most roms are going to not work with the Honeycomb bootloader in the near future. Go ahead and put version 7 of the bootloader on, so future bootloader enhancements can be flashed via CWM. Once you install the bootloader, install CWM again, pick a rom & enjoy! Test drive them all.

read the afterota thread in dev section download the software, as easy as 1-2-3 and your pretty much done , I dont know if he has V7 listed now , if not Civato has it!

Attantion
To upgrade to tegraowners ICS ROM or FLEXREAPER (not extrem vetsion) is no new bootloader needed!
I'm using both ROM with my stock HC bootloadet!
You can upgrade the bootloader later if you like.

Sigh..... OK..... I tried 1.3.4 but now when I try to enter recovery I get "recovery verified failed" in red and I am unable to get the old one back.
I am running the ota ics 4.0.3 with 0.03.12-ics bootloader.
This was rooted with thund3r's method.
1. Which ver of cwm should i install with ari so I can then install touch 1.7.3
2. Is there anything I am not doing that i need to?
3. Is there a stock one I can download and install with Ari if I need it back?

Try the afterota tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1675939, you can manually select the recovery you want and upgrade the bootloader if you need to. It's very easy to use.

Boot into cwm and factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache also. Then re flash ROM of your choice. If it still won't boot I suggest trying another ROM or Odin back to stock and re root your device.

I download china kernel from tezet (even if i m in france) and i install it (i start recovery mode with connected to power)
Hope you can resolve your problem

You are right, the problem is caused by flashing different roms contain different kernel. I met similar problem before. Flash correct requested kernel before flashing the rom you want is necessary.
Suggestion for other users: Before flashing new rom, know what is your current kernel version, and do necessary adjusted work if needed.

The problem may be caused by flashing the CM10 directly, you need to flash a updated kernel (check what tezet said about the kernel update in his CM10) from froyo kernel to CH kernel before flashing CM10 (not the first two CM10 release, which asks for froyo kernel to run.)
I had similar problem when I flashed directly from froyo kernel to a CM10 that asks for GB kernel to run. So I flashed a updated kernel before flashing CM10, then it CM 10 working.
I assume the problem is caused by different kernel. We usually call it "M logo stuck" problem. Hope my suggestion works. And hope your work will work soon.
Best wishes,
Peter

TWRP Install over CWM6 for P3113 Galaxy TAB 2 7 inch

I can't seem to find a link for the version of TWRP that will work on model P3113. I have CyanogenMod 10 Rom JB 4.1.1 with Clockwork Mod 6x.
Can I even install TWRP over CWM6 and can I do it in Mobile ODIn Pro? I have that installed.
I also have Goo Manager and cannot figure out why I cannot find or download TWRP from there unless they do not have a version for my Model or that ROM/Kernel?
I am new to the forum so I cannot ask questions yet in the developer sections which is starting to get annoying since I had one or two threads I could have asked this question on.
Thanks

I just thought about what you said that cwm recovery has nothing to do with ROM but according to the guide I used it said I had to use a cwm version 6 with JB. so that is why I mentioned the ROM version because it was based on JB. So would you not think it does indeed play an important role in choosing a compatible recovery?

Developers or tutorial writers list the recovery because thats the one they preffer / use themselves, but most of the time, it doesnt matter which one you use!!
Btw, the reason they say to use CWM6 with Jelly Bean, is because CWM will automatically stop JB from erasing CWM and returning the stock recovery,
but even if you flash with lets say CWM5, you can still remove the script that will undo CWM, but you will have to do it manually (it's an extra step)

[Q] Defy bricked

Hello all,
For the 2nd time in 3 years I have bricked my phone. I was using Cyanogen 7.2 in the past and today I have decided to try MIUI.
After a flash i was geting reboot before Android was loaded to I decided to install the base OS.
Installed RSDLite5.6 -- shashed one of the oficial Andro for version 2.2.1 I think (closed page and I don't have it in front now) and device is all dead.
I know in the past I have flashed a chinese ROM and was working again...rooted and all of that but I can't find a download link for a ROM to do this.
I am not shure how to proceed also.
Can you guys help me, it will be much apreciated.

I've got the same problem, tried to root with superoneclick, first time it didn't go through, 2nd time it went through. Phone turned off (instead of rebooting) and screen is black since then, doesn't come on....

I can't flash a custom rom now because I don't have recovery. The only thing I can do with my phone is to enter download mode.
As far as I know I have to:
- flash a new room that I can use it to boot device and work on it.
- root device and install recovery
- install cooked rom
My problem is that I don't know what to flash so that I can boot my phone --- now it is in the dead phase

You have to flash an sbf, not a ROM(that's what you will flash once you get back recovery). Read the defy beginners guide to get the steps. Basically:
Get sbf (search and download)
Get rsdlite and Motorola USB drivers
Flash it (from boot loader mode)
