Title should tell you all.
I made it to be easy to flash on unlock boot loader via CWM recovery. Just flash it like other custom ROM.
It also reported to work on Locked boot loader!!
- deodex framework and app
- remove few bloated app recommended by ROM kitchen
- busybox installed
- ready for init.d tweak
- ready for user app.
Installation test with SSpeed V7 normal kernel and Advanced Stock Kernel ICS16
It work on my Xperia s I hope it work on your as well.
https://hotfile.com/dl/180118347/fd5551c/LT26i_6.1.A.2.55_SG_Stock.zip.html
The goal of this ROM is a clean stock ROM but ready for mod easily by using just 7zip and notepad++
For example to get quick panel toggle just download the mod somewhere in xda then open the ROM with 7zip (do not extract) then replace systemui and add quick panel setting apk in the system folder. That is!!
You can also add your favor app in data/app to make it preinstall with your new ROM.
Have fun with modding and share your work.
Great Job.

I think you can use titanium backup to backup your game data. Just to be safe please do binary backup of the whole system in CWM before you flash new firmware.
When I test on mine I always do a clean install to eliminate unforeseen problem. I wold recommend you do the same.
works for locked boot? : Confused:
Ok. Btw can you spot any difference in this new update?

my bootloader is locked
and well i went ahead and flashed it (just to prove my theory) and it worked...
my previous rom was .50 rooted and had CWM installed also
i already had flashed .55 kernel and baseband only thing missing was .55 sys
i flashed this zip
it booted and phone is now finally fully .55 and rooted
only thing i had 2 reinstall was CWM because this zip doesnt have recovery in it
thanks! :good:
any chance of same rom with root but in original state (with root included ofc)?
i wont post my steps yet cause i think since this is a deodex rom we will have .odex files left over in sys partition (correct me if im wrong)
so please make a zip so i can test and u can then release for all us unlucky bootloader locked Xperia S users
cheers

Hi all, I've just upgraded my phone to Acro S recently. It is running ICS 4.0.4 build 6.1.A.1.58. It has been updated to 6.1.A.2.55
So here is a modified Stock Kernel with CWM which I created based on Arakmar's Stock ICS kernel (Build 11) for XS
Credits:
1. Arakmar - for the ramdisk and CWM
2. DoomLord and FXP team - for too many things to mention
Link (do not mirror)
6.1.A.2.55 - http://www.mediafire.com/?zuzatcl3it3zce7
6.1.A.2.50 - http://www.mediafire.com/?jrjiwg13w3gvxpf
6.1.A.2.45 - http://www.mediafire.com/?rq43glb93khd9ia
6.1.A.1.58 - http://www.mediafire.com/?wsuha53wvcc3cav
Instructions:
1. Unzip the files to the fastboot folder, there are 2 files:
kernel.sin -- Stock ICS Kernel
kernel-cwm.elf -- Stock ICS Kernel with init.d support and CWM 5.5.0.4
2. Get into fastboot mode, type:
- To flash the CWM kernel
Code:
fastboot flash boot kernel-cwm.elf
- To flash back the Stock kernel
Code:
fastboot flash boot kernel.sin
To get into CWM - Reboot your phone, tap the screen (not buttons) a few times when the blue led and button lights appear
To root your phone, follow instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30320507&postcount=11

Thank you.
But i have a question: what is ram disk use for?
I used xperia s mod kernel to flash supersu.apk, then flash back stock arco s kernel, and add CMW. But some .zip file can not use.
Does this give us root or do i need to root the phone first and then flash this kernel ?
Also, do we need to unlock bootloader for this ?
Can anyone please comment on performance? Thanks in advance!!
Hi do i need to flash these 2 files or just one i want cwm.and does it include root or not?

ramdisk is part of kernel. it runs initial scripts that control how the phone starts.

You need to unlock bootloader first. This kernel won't give you root. But you can boot into cwm to flash any package that root your phone or you can flash a complete rom, if available.

You need to flash only the one with cwm. It won't root your phone.
Thanks for your reply,is it ok to flash cwm without root first?and unlock bootloader is the same xperia s right?

I think you're right. The moded kernel is kernel-cwm.elf.
Root Package
Here is the Root package after you flash the kernel with cwm
To root your phone:
1. copy the RootPhone.zip file to sdcard (internal storage)
2. reboot into cwm
3. install the package
4. reboot

Ｔhanks alot.
It works on Acro HD with Acro S's ICS ROM flashed exlude baseband.
UPD: I did not like the ICS. There are only 320 mb of free RAM. I have 460 mb of free RAM on 2.3.7. So, I installed back the 2.3.7
if you could add 2way call recording patch to this kernel would be great

This worked for me, unlocked bootloader, flashed kernel-cwm and then flashed rootphone in CWM. Thanks.
Just a suggestion,
You might wanna add "+ Root" to your title seeing as this is another way to root the device.
With CWM, can we then flash custom ROMs for Xperia S or a Kernel with permanent root (e.g. DoomKernel)?
I'd like to get rid of all the Facebook-crap in the stock ROM but if it will be there again after the next update from Sony it's no use.

Once you unlock bootloader, you can flash any custom kernel.
If the kernel comes with CWM, you can flash any rom/zip with root
But I think current S custom kernels/roms are based on older version: 6.1.A.0.452
Bootloader unlock will probably void warranty.
But how about rooting? No righht?

It's the same method for Xperia P/U/S/Acro S.
Hi guys..
Am in need of a little help here. I need to root a Xperia S running 2.3.7 (Yes, oldie) with firmware version 6.0.A.3.62. This is kind of an official purpose, so i have to be in 2.3.7. Aslo updating the firmware version is my last choice. When i searched, i couldnt find any pre rooted images for 6.0.A.3.62 firmware. Can somebody help me with a pre rooted image or any other method? I want it to be in the generic customization..
If in casei want to flash a pre rooted image of a newer firmware version like 6.0.A.3.73, can i directly flash the image via fastboot? or should i take some precaution since am upgrading from .62??
Your help is much appreciated..
You won't get much answer here as you have posted in the wrong section. Post this in Q,A

have you tried bin4ry method?
if you wanted to flash pre rooted firmware I take it your bootloader is unlocked? If so its very easy to root any room through cwm.

Like what DooMLoRD has mentioned in his kernel thread, his kernel is just the stock kernel that has some ramdisk changes and support for init.d and userinit scripts (besides root and CWM).
Thanks for the reply.. One more quick question... If i want to flash a pre rooted image of any newer firmwares.. say .67 or .73 .. can i just do that with fastboot flashing?? any problems in updating like that???

You should flash the pre-rooted image of your present .62 firmware, not newer ones.

Hi:
For one week i was asking my self that when we got new builds that no one know how to root it , why don't we use CWM to force flash su files to system? why it will not work?
I mean if we flashed the root using CWM , the phone must be rooted right?
Ok.
So how do you put in cwm on a new rom without it already installed?

I didn't understand. After flash the stock rom just f;ask custom kernel with CWM then flash the root zip the reflash the stock kernel.
On stock rom (locked bl) you need root to instal cwm, then from cwm do whatever you want do.
Also unlocked BL is always ROOTABLE, don't ask even once for this.
Many newbies on Forum posts that thay found root for unlocked BL, that isnt achivement. Flash custom kernel with root in self.
Trying to root locked bl, well, that is pain in the ass.

As unlocked BL you have few option.
1. Kernel which is pre rooted
2. Rom which is pre rooted
3. Flash some root.zip (depends on rom and/or kernel).

Actually, there is a universal zip file for any android phone which *should* root your phone but very often the installation fails because of a wrong update-binary (Status 0). So I made a zip which should work on our Xperia phones here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1772586&d=1362200612
Just flash in cwm and enjoy the root access

Yes, i think if we flashed the root (su and busybox package) via CWM or any recovery tool, the phone must be rooted. But in some cases at stock kernel, the CWM doesn't work properly so first of all unlocking bootloader if we flashed any custom kernel (like doomlord kernel) then we can easily get root access flashing the package via recovery.

It sets the correct permissions on the su binary. Actually there is no need for this file since the updater-script does all the work but while I was working on my rom, the permissions were not getting set properly so I used this script

VOILA!!! device is now rooted and has working recovery
PS
Will only work for ZL that can be bootloader unlock.
Hit thanks if it helps you.
Don't put Locked BL in the title, you only managed to root because your phone was unlockable. Putting Locked BL in the title states that your bootloader can also be locked for this method to work, and but unless your ZL can be bootloader unlocked, this method cannot be used for locked BL

This is the rooted version. I used the original FTF from @scifan here.....

... to create this stock image with root and recovery included.
Oh, awesome! You should probably add that to the title
Does this have the same issue as the .101 where the XZDR.prop file needs to be replaced in order to access recovery?

lol, It might, I deleted the files in that directory right before turning off my phone to access recovery and flash the new zip. Both recovery's are working great with 4.4.2
Downloading now!

First of ... thanks Crash! You were really fast! I'm downloading right now
What directory do we need to delete the files from? I was not aware of the issue, though now I know why I couldn't access recovery on 101 :silly:

In your SDCard, simply delete the files in the XZDualRecovery or rename the XZDR.prop. If you delete them, they get recreated anyway and fixes that problem you had with 101
Oh, how much I love you right now. Thanks a lot! Will report if I encounter any issue with your files, though I seriously doubt I will.
I'm on unlocked boot loader. Can I just flash the zip and then the ftf file? Thanks

This FTF works to UB and LB or just for UB. Any bugs, something special wich we need to know after flashing?

Locked or unlocked BL isn't important with these files.
Just upload the ZIP to your SDCard and flash it in recovery, then power off your phone without rebooting and flash the stripped FTF with Flashtool and you're done.
Thank you guys!
But for those (like my self) who are not experts on this, could you please, provide a detailed (step by step) guide on how to flash it?
If I already flashed it to kitkat (not rooted), can I do it over this one?
Regards

I flashed it with CWM but TWRP should also work without issues.

My BL is locked, there are easier ways if you have an unlocked bootloader but this will work whether your BL is locked or unlocked. Ive been running it for a few hours now and no issues, root and dual recovery's are working.

If you already flashed 4.4.2 then you do not have root and therefore cannot flash these. You will need to flash back to an older 4.2.2 so you can root and then install recovery. Once you have recovery the steps are:
1 - upload the zip to your SDCard and flash it via recovery
2 - After flash is successful, turn off your phone without rebooting.
3 - Flash the stripped FTF file via FlashTool and boot your phone.
That's it
