Thanks I'll wait for ICS.
in my opinion root is worthed to optimize stock ROM, delete some bloatware and get more free RAM
but custom rom is not stabilize yet, I prefer using stock ROM with some customization

Hi
I was read the topic about rooting ICS firmware. It's very hard for me,but GB firmware look like easier for do it.
Can I downgrade my LWM to GB ,start rooting from it and install CWM and cutom ROM ICS base ??
Yes you can downgrade

You can downgrade, but maybe the custom rom won't boot. For an ics custom rom you need to be on ics first and for a gingerbread custom rom you need to be on gb!
The tutorial to root ics with the downgrade -> updgrade (local-prop, push-root-files) is easy, all steps are explained with screenshots. You could try it

Yes I guess, not sure if there's a big difference, but I think you can't flash an ics rom over stock gingerbread...

Not really. Only few ROMs that require it, most ROMs wipe the old ROM anyway, so it doesn't matter what you had earlier. As much as I have used custom ROMs, I didn't have problems install custom ICS on GB.

I had some bootloops because of this, and as I said, he should try it on gingerbread and if it works it is great and if it won't work he can try to update to ics and install it again
Thread moved. Please post your questions here in Q&A in future.
Thanks

I believe you have the BOOTLOADER unlocked.
Otherwise bootloops or you might end up in briking your precious mobile
Read THIS to get some lights of BOOTLOADER unlocking
To use JellyBean Rom, you have to flash JB kernel.. and if your's is BL locked you shld not try flashing the a different ROM kernel.
Only Stock based (ICS in your case) Custom ROMs can be flashed.
:silly:Happy Flashing and enjoy Custom MODS and ROMS in XDA as i DO :silly:

Firstly use the SEARCH bar and to answer your question, since your bl is unlocked so no need to root it just install any pre-rooted kernel with built in recovery and then flash any rom compatible with the kernel Best of luck
Best Regards,
AJ
if your bootloader is unlocked then just pick any kernel from LWW thread , be sure about kernel ( ICS,GB,or JB) , mostly every kernel have CWM recovery, and now you can install custom roms

I'm sorry but such type of questions are discouraged in XDA as they compare the works of such great devs which is an insult to the. Try each since kernels are not of very big size and hope u can get the best one for you
