I have a locked BL Sola, rooted and with CWM, if i remove boot.img from CM9.1 and flash the zip through recovery could it work?
No because it needs a custom kernel to boot up, if you remove the boot.IMG you'll have a boot loop

I know that..
But I asked the question BECAUSE I don't want to unlock bootloader

Ok. So... no. No way.
No. But you can flash custom kernel such as rage or kamarush..
Then root it.

Hmmmm....the most easy way to root your phone (ICS) is to unlock bootloader and flash custom kernel....all custom kernel have pre-rooted and CWM....
if you want to go the harder way (refuse to unlock bootloader) then downgrade to GB, Root your phone then upgrade back to ICS....
some people use the easy way cause they can relock the bootloader if they WANT TO....
Yes they are . You can't root stock kernel . Or you can download boot extended stock kernel which is also pre rooted....

I have just made a zip of the ICS FTF for a friend.
My questions are: is there one already and I just wasted my time?
If not, does anybody want to test it as I won't be able to check on my friend's phone for another two days.
I've removed some apps and rooted it.

There is none,as far as i know,n is it for st25i or st25a..please gimme the link,i'll test it n report back..also.does the recovery works even after the update..??
I haven't added the kernel, so I think the ROM would have to be flashed in recovery first, then flash the stock kernel in Flashtool. I could upload that as well if needed.
I could look into adding the kernel, I think it's just a few lines in the update script. It's unlikely to have recovery though. Don't know how to do that yet.
I'm not familiar with adding kernels because I've only tried with a phone that can't flash kernels in recovery.

As far as I know it is a, but I've changed the build.prop to i. I read as long as you don't flash the baseband it should be OK.

Did you wipe caches and data before and after, and use the correct (stock ICS) kernel?

You can not. For flashing any other kernel except stock you need unlocked bootloader.

If it works with stock kernel... In some cases custom roms work with custom kernels only, so to not brick your device be sure this rom works with stock kernel.
EDIT: after you have locked bl how will you install stock kernel with recovery?
Couldn't find a straight answer so....
I unlocked the bootloader, rooted my phone and flashed CWM.
Then I flashed this
Now I want to flash this
Am I supposed to just flash it with flashtool? What's the proper way to do it?
Flash it with flashtool but wipe all when flash

Is that necessary to rename any custom kernel to "boot.img" before flashing it (via FLAHTOOL.exe) ?
I want know this bcoz I flashed a kernel(not renamed to 'boot.img') and after that installed a ROM(for unlocked BL only) via CWM and got black screen or bootloop... Please help meh..
Sent from my MT11i using xda app-developers app
You can change kernel name,but make sure you type in command prompt with the same name with kernel.
Flash kernel must from a PC ,cant flash through CWM.Before flash kernel make sure you have unlock your bootloader.
My BL is unlocked!!
What do you mean by "command prompt with the same name of kernel ?“
Please say in details...

When you renamed the boot image i.e (PACMAN.IMG)...you must type in DOS command prompt like this fastboot flash boot PACMAN.IMG .
Sorry man... Im using flahtool.exe for flashing

Since you are using flashtool it is not necessary to rename the kernel to boot.img

No need to rename the kernel as boot.img.. But make sure the kernel u r flashing is compatible with the rom... Otherwise ur phone will not boot & u will face bootloop... Like GB ROM = GB Kernel, ICS ROM = ICS Kernel & JB ROM = JB Kernel

Dude just go to respective ROM threads and take the pains of reading:banghead: or else you will be reported very soon for creating unnecessary threads.. People are helping you that doesn't mean you will keep behaving like a noob

If you would read the rom thread properly no one has told that the kernel is inside the zip. It is is written that you have to flash fusion 5.4.
