(GUIDE)How to get ROOT,WIFI+BT, CWM Recovery, Face unclock + Gapps for ICS BETA

Hey Guys, Just thought I would put together everything in one thread for everyone so you guys can get everything available for ICS beta atm, Most of this is thanks to DoomLord!
Firstly, To have CWM Recovery, Hotboot any kernel. I will explain
1. Download a kernel e.g Doomkernel v19 and hotboot via fast boot
Type in Fastboot boot boot.img
Then boot while repeatly pressing back button/volume rockets to enter recovery.
This will not flash this kernel only boot it so nothing else required
2. Then get into recovery by pressing volume rockers and flash whatever you need, after this reboot your device and thats it
Well it does require you to have PC access everytime you want recovery but it will have to do for now
OR for easier way simply install this CWM installer made by pvyparts which works fine with ics beta rom and don't need PC for it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1437840
It could cause issues as this CWM isn't made for this but no issues have been reported as of now.
To Get faceunclock and google apps such as market, gmail:
1. Go to FXP Cm9 thread and download their latest gapps and flash via recovery( use method above for recovery)
To get ROOT access:
1.Flash the superuser fix via recovery ( access recovery via method above)
2. Go to the market and download busybox by Stephen Sterricson and then select any version of busybox and install it. NOW YOU HAVE ROOT
Thanks to Binary, We have WIFI And Bluetooth now too. Go into build.prop via Root explorer, OI file manager (free) or other file explorers:
add these lines into system/build.prop
persist.wifienabled=1
persist.btenabled=1
OR flash the package by Doomlord via recovery ( use method above). Much easier
Now we have everything that is needed Thanks to Binary and Doomlord once more.

Thanks alot .... All what is left for now is the Wifi fix .... doom said bin4ry has a build.prop fix or something anybody found it?

you are so quick mate
have you try using doom on screen button enabler??

I have wifi and root

Thanks guys, and ill try and find the wifi thing. If i do ill update the thread

How did you get wifi working mate :O Please share

You can just hot boot doomkernel after installing se boot.img by
Fastboot boot boot.img
Once u restart from recovery it will revert to the original kernel
Sent from here to there.

Thanks updated OP

Hi guys,
I think Bin4ry's fix was that there's a line in build.prop called persist.wifienabled which needs to be set to 1 (true).
I'm backing up my ROM and then I'll try it on my arc, see if it works.
Cheers
EDIT: it works perfectly ;-)

Better flash a package to enabled wifi and bt.
In just 30 mins i got too much pn's about how to edit the file oO ....
Regards

this may help?

AWEEEEEEEEESOME .... WIfi and BT works now thanks to doom and bin4ry
you need to:-
1- use any kernel to just boot into CWM
2- flash this package : http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...38&postcount=2 .... i deleted the first presist in the package . i don't know if it's necessery or not
3-turn off device
4-flash SE kernel Again (UMAD? SE kernel )
5-Enjoy Wifi And BT and the whole ICS .
6-good luck

Will the Same procedure apply for Xperia Ray??..
I want to Flash this, really dont know how.. I have my Xperia Ray unlocked via Test Point method so what should I do? Need just a hint...

Yes they should If a version is released for Ray by SE.
And thanks Hemo, Linked it in OP

Yes its available for Ray... Just need a Hint.. Should I start flashing using Flashtool or something?.. A small guide on How to flash would have been very nice...

How to flash the SE Beta ROM? Urm its linked in the SE thread, heres how to do it though. Its all flashed via fastboot btw. Extract the package to fast boot folder and copy and paste userdata.img, system.img and boot.img to fastboot folder. Then open command prompt and:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash system system.img

don't know, haven't tried, but fastboot is really simple and fast, and you'll have to set it up to unlock bootloader anyway.
-fastboot devices
your phone is there
-fastboot flash boot .. or what you need
-fastboot reboot
and you'll have to use it only few times, after you install cm10 first time, back to normal routine

I've PMed Koush to tell him this...

I saw that some devices got an update to the 6.0.1.5 version. it should be updated very soon for us too, as Ricardo is well active

I saw it too, but I don't know if that update includes our problems...

I don't think so too, our problem should be isolated and device specific. but since the first listed device is a P930, it may have the same problem as the P970. well, we'll see

I dont know for you but i get sd card mount problem with this version

I can't make backups with this CWM, like, while backing up the CWM stops working for a while and after that come back to principal menu

Hi
One of my friend has installed this update. He has the following matter:
He doesn't have any access to the external sd card neither on the phone nor the recovery mode but he can see the extsd on his computer...
Thanks for your help .

Can't get sd-card mounted either, i'll post the log if i can figure out how i can copy the log.

Great kernel! Works well. Thanks

working good. Thank you

BTW, i think that u are not able to connect your phones to PC anymore
that's an uncurable bug, and i dunno how to solve it forever. but, there is a temporary fix.
flash my kernel, boot up to homescreen. than flash STOCK kernel, boot up to homescreen again. finally, flash my kernel again and you'll be able to connect it again, probably. test this and report, please
add this to the first post plz

Well, to get to stock recovery, download XXLK1 firmware anywhere. And restore with Odin. Make sure you put files in right places. And install back CM11 with latest nightly with CWM 6.0.5.3. It should work for now. You'll be fine after install but don't forget install Galaxy Y MODEM after installed CM11. It's bug on our CM11 if you don't install, we can't boot without install it. If you know this already, just leave it.
