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.

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.

Huh?
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
Download busybox from market
There you have root

Where does ICS fit into that? It's not even mentioned? What's flashtoll?

or
boot into fastboot mode
get kernel boot.img with CWM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1591279
then run the command
Code:
fastboot boot boot.img
be sure to spam vol - or back or what ever the kernel requres to get into CMW on reboot.
flash the SU.zip
http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip
cant remember who linked that one
reboot and the kernel will be gone
enjoy rooted phone.

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??

Well, there IS one-click-root method, hmm... 3 clicks actually, for stock ICS ROM without unlocking your bootloader.
Here is the link.

You may not know Chinese, but I personally don't intend to translate it and write an instruction because I am not the pioneer who needs to be respected.

Thank you so much..I will try and report back..
Edit: I ran the command..nothing happens after restart and no superuser..it recognizes the phone though..
Doesn't work on ARC S. tried on Official ICS released yesterday.
I need to flash the stock kernel on my I9020t running 4.1.1 so I can update to 4.1.2. My micro usb is broken on my phone, so adb flashing is out of the question. I have searched for several days, but my search although turns up results, the terms are so broad. Can someone please provide a link.

Hi, here you find old (and new) official Nexus S complete images or also just the OTA updates:
http://www.randomphantasmagoria.com/firmware/nexus-s/
Thanks for the link, unfortunately fastboot images nor the update zips will currently work for me. I imagine that I could, but I don't know how to, make a clockworkmod flashable kernel zip out of the fastboot image. I understand that I would need to extract boot from the image, but making it ready for cwm flashable is over my head.

Yes you have to download the complete fastboot image later you can extract only boot partition using 7zip.
Later read this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1875739
Download this custom kernel.zip and paste inside the stock boot, this will give the instruction to correctly flash the partition. At the end you can use CWM to flash this zip file. If I helped you just click thank button.
If that don't work, a last try could be to post your problem also here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1932832
Where we are talking about update from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 and there are a lot of people with a lot of experience (more than me).
I need one too..So if you find one post the link here

What's stopping you from downloading and flashing a 4.1.2 ROM?
how do you get recovery to install zip's on the Verizon note 3 lots of you are saying to do it but nobody has posted instructions ??

Everyone is more than likely referring to Flash Gordon app that gives you options to flash zip files. But if you use it you should definitely check with the dev for that individual mod.

Using the app called Flash Gordon which allows us to flash zip's without having recovery.

Your posting this in a galaxy s4 forum so No, this is not a HTC with htcdev unlock, I've never read anywhere yet that you need to flash the kernel (boot.IMG) after flashing your custom ROM on a galaxy S4...

He changed it, you used to have to flash in FB. You need to FXZ to .10, like @c1y5 said. If you're not on that version, it won't flash. You need to go back and thoroughly read the OP of the ROM thread, everything is in there.

means i need to flash .10 version then install recovery and then flash as normal rom instructions ???
i accidentally flash the 183.46.15 version now i can not downgrade to 183.46.10 i can downgrade to jellybean but can not flash the 183.46.10 version i have unlocked bootlader it give me some security reason in fastboot
