I'm really sorry, but I have a query. Is DooMRecovery for the Xperia S only on GB 2.3.7? Because I flashed DooMKernel and The WiFi modules based on something I read on another website, and it only boots into DooMRecovery. If I don't press the volume up button, it only restarts.
I don't have any system image files on my phone either, for me to flash a firmware. So, I'm thinking that basically I'm screwed. Any help regarding this matter will be greatly appreciated.
This is my first Android phone and I really messed up. Really appreciate any help.
Here's a link to the website, who's tutorial I followed to flash the Kernel and Modules.
androidauthority.com/xperia-s-lt26i-clockworkmod-recovery-doomrecovery-76877
I'm really sorry, but I'm new here..
I think doomrecovery is just RECOVERY, that's why the name
It's only for GB. If you need recovery, flash Advanced Stock Kernel.

I was wondering if I could just flash the CM9 boot image and install the zip from CWM. It come with CWM, if I'm not mistaken. Also, is CWM a pre rooted image?

So, if I manage to get the CM9 files onto the internal memory and flash them, I'm good? I'm currently on ICS and accidentally flashed DooMRecovery on my phone, so I'm stuck in auto restart. So if I manage to get the zips inside and flash the boot image in fastboot and install the zips in recovery, I should be good, right?

You need a custom recovery to flash roms such as cm7. It is also used to make a backup of your phone and wipe the data on your phone. How is it that you've flash cm7 (which means that you've also used your recovery before) yet you don't know the purpose of having a recovery? I think you're going way to ahead of yourself.
Sent from my LG-P509 using xda premium
I'm guessing it's more of a case of he's flashed cm7, using the recovery to do so, but doesn't understand the behind-the-scenes procedures that go into the actual flashing.
you need to read the sticky thread if you dont know basics
Think of custom recovery as the basic setup/installer tool for anything and everything related to custom ROMs, kernels, etc. .
kdz and lgdrm are only for stock(OEM)/official releases.
The reason you need it, because it's the only way to do it and carrier's don't give you access to change your ROM. Does Microsoft put mod chips/software in xbox 360? No, hell no, they only give you limited access and regulate what content can be yours.
Custom recoveries come with features that you normally can't do, like nand(full phone backup) backup.
It's this way because that's how it has to be done.

Just because your phone is "rooted" dosent mean you can install a rom like a app, you need to use clockwork mod, why do you need it? you need it because it allows you to perform actions that you couldn't do on a stock phone. With clockwork mod you can back up your system files, restore system files, install new roms for use or testing. If your phone is just "rooted" all it means is you can now access system files, use certain "root required" apps, being rooted is step #1 to installing clockwork mod, its like your phone is unlocked, if you just want your phone rooted to delete some system apps thats fine, but it is wise to flash clockwork mod because it can prevent your phone from being bricked and now you can install roms. so the answer is pretty simple, how else would you install a rom without clockwordmod? you couldnt so its just one of those things you need, hope this helps man
reply
apart from all this custom roms come packed as zip files n kdz updater or lgdrm doesnt recognize these files so u need to hace custom recoveries like cmw or twrp or amonra

I don't think that you could do that... since the phone doesn't even come with CM7 in the first place. Doing a factory reset / restore wouldnt bring the phone to stock CM7. Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't it bring the phone back to FroYo since that's what it came with?
CM7 is already a custom ROM so there is nothing stock about it... Stock means whatever the phone came with from the box (FroYo) CM7 is Gingerbread.

If your running cm7 or any rom you can do a factory/reset through the rom your using, it will just erase all info but wont delete the rom and it will delete apps so when you reboot you will have to set up Google account like a new phone, cm7 will still be installed and your current rom it will just be like new, to do a factory reset go to settings, security then hit factory reset, reboot and then back to a clean start on cm7 there will be a option to erase everything on the SD card, hit no if you want to keep all files on your SD or hit yes if you want it all gone, goodluck p.s the only way you can go back to stock is to flash a stock rom and if you made a backup of your stock rom before you flashed cm7

That's your.problem then. Flashing any rom with a 3.0+ kernel using that cwm will result in a bootloop. so eight now you need to flash a newer cwm and then try flashing cm10 again.
look in the dev section for a newer recovery.

Nope, you don't need s-off to do so, it just makes it easier, you can use 4EXT, if for some reason 4EXT can't flash it, then you can use Hasoon's tool or go all the way by getting down and dirty with adb to flash it manually.

if you boot your device into recovery mode (power + volume up), does it say CWM recovery 5.x.x.x?
if it does, then you have a custom kernel.
if not, flash a custom kernel. use rj's kernel if you have a physical home button or entropy's kernel if you have a capacitative home button.
If you really want to see a drastic difference difference, try cm 10 or ParanoidAndroid.

To flash any of these roms, just copy the appropriate zip to your internal storage and reboot into recovery.
Then:
1. Wipe Data/Factory reset
2. Wipe Cache
3. Advanced > Wipe Dalvik Cache
4. Install zip > from internal sd card
5. wait and enjoy.
