Hi, i'v some imprtant question!
The firts one it's how to ceck if bootloader ar done or not.
The second it's the mast important:
"i'v using se bootloader program forum unlock the Sony xperia s, after that I use a program to root the phone, don't remeber the Jake but it's the topic called "root meny droid"
After that I use recoveryX to install a recovery forse Xperia s"
So the question it's:
"how i can flash a cm 9.1 how?"
I'v a room 9.1 nazomi download form the cm site in my sd.
I don't know if i can enter in recovery mode and flash form ther... I don't know if I need a kernerl or what...
I thank u for all!

if u have CWM (Clockwork MOD) (the one that makes u can go into recovery) u could flash your ROM.
turn off your phone,
turn on, and when the phone vibrates, press volume up rapidly
u will go into recovery
choose install from ZIP
then locate where your ROM.zip file is
then install
NOTE : You must have a kernel that supports CWM recovery

I'm sorry, the phone vibrate when I swich on not when I reboot the phone... But what I what to know it's if I can flash the rom whit my stock kernel... beacause I feel scare to flash the kernel...
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium
Yup. When u turn on the phone, and it vibrates, press volume up button rapidly.
U can install ROM without changing the kernel.
ROM and kernel are 2 different things.

you can flash any rom you like made for galaxy ace, and most of the roms root your phone after flashing.
yup..u dont need to root ur phone.. just flash the cmw from ur stock recovery mode.. then u can flash any custom from the cwm ^^.. enjoy!
I have been seeing the same questions being asked again and again..Do we need to root or unroot before flashing,Wonder why :/
Well for me, im not that hightech...
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
first of all..
what u need to do is to download a official cwm..
flash the cwm from ur stock recovery mode (power off+home button)
then download the custom rom that u wan
Follow the instructions given by the developer and then flash it in the cwm (power off+home button)
Tada! u can have ur custom rom ^^
You don't need to be rooted in order to flash any custom rom...
Rooting just gives you powers to access stunning things on your phone...customize your phone etc...

u cannot flash firmware in CWM, only zip files. ICS is stock Firmware and has to be installed through flashtool or PC companion
If you want stock Rom download ics ftf and flash it using flashtool then you have to root your mobile again
If you want a costom rom
First you have to flash a ics kernel using flashtool
Then install the zip using cwm

Fastboot.
you cant get stuck on fastboot if your phone is not connected to the PC or am i wrong ?!
flash a new firmware via flashtool you can download it in the Android development section
to get the phone to flashmode press volume down, hold it and connect it to the PC , flashtool will recognize it.
then click on the lighting on the upper left and choose flashmode, then choose the firmware you want to flash.

I got it... You must have flashed a wrong kernel for your phone.
Are you on gb/ics?
Choose the right kernel for your os.
Then choose the appropriate kernel for the firmware. (it's like .452,.45,etc)
Now flash the kernel through command prompt using fastboot method.

Installing cwm is possible only by flashing a pre rooted kernel through command prompt using fastboot method.

ROM Manager
hi,
yes, it works, indeed (LT26i 4.0.4)! And in opposite to RecoveryX. Fortunately now I can get into recovery mode but is it compatible with ROM Manager from CWM? Because for me it seems not.

You can Install a kernel in fastboot only!!
1. Shut down your phone
2. Hold the volume down key
3. Plug the USB cable and release the volume button
4. A blue LED should light
5. Flash the kernel.
6. Enter CWM and delete all the caches
