(ROM) Flash 10.1.1.A.1.307.ftf + root + CWM without external ROMs UB only.

hellooo everyone, I just wanted to share my method with you.
first download the ftf official rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2313378
second download the Advance Stock Kernel with Recovery v06 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2167381
third download XZDualRecovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261606
fifth download Root by recovery by Emerald http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41539852
How to Install
flash the ftf using flashtool-0.9.10.2beta6
flash doomlord's kernel v6 with fastboot
flash the zip root from cwm
if you are fine with the v6 doomlord's kernel you are done here you have updated your phone to the latest firmware with root and cwm
if not you can flash the stock kernel back with flashtool this is how.
do like if you want to flash the 10.1.1.A.1.307 ftf but untick wipe data, cache, appslog and tick system, baseband, unknown, fota and partition
to leave only loader and kernel to be flashed.
after this when you have your stock kernel back without CWM you still have root and now you can install the XZDualRecovery by following the instructions his thread.
credits to [NUT], Doomlord, Apollo89, and EmeraldTimer. what i did was just sharing the method i do not own anything.

If you have an unlocked bootloader it's as simple as...
1. Flash kernel,
2. Flash ROM, exclude kernel,
3. Flash ROOT zip (If kernel not rooted).
...and if you do have an unlocked BL you only need a kernel.

Root, could this work?

Just downgrade to .534 through flashtool and use nuts dual recovery installer then flash any of the latest rom from the development section.

Dowgrade via Flashtool, Install DualRecovery then install the Pre-Rooted FTF .757 from Here:

need cwm recovery for stock .283 fw please urgent

i was on .569 fw before and i try to update it to the latest fw which is .283 using pc companion. after i try to update it, it says update failed. it is because i rooted and unlocked my bootloader before.
so i relocked my bootloader and flash stock .569.ftf using flashtool. and try to update to .283 using pc companion again. it finally worked. i succesfully upgraded my phone to the latest fw .283.
but then i realised root is gone, and i cant access cwm reovery when phone boots and pressing volume down button over and over again.
so i guess my cwm recovery is gone too.
so since im on fresh stock .283 fw, i need someone to give me a cwm recovery for me to flash on fastboot mode using flashtool.
and can i root .283 just by flashing superuser.zip that i flashed on .269 to root .283?
thanks in advance. i need it urgent though.

You will need to flash .230 kernel then root using any method mentioned ( like towel root) then re-flash the .283 kernel. once you have root, you can flash NUT's recovery for your phone. you can not directly flash. you will need to use computer to run recovery batch file

U can flash stock rom... Then root it,install recovery and de odex it... Why u need pre rooted rom? if there is way to root it easily...

I know that but its difficult to get drivers everytime fot flashtool and its difficult to root latest firmware

Flashtool is for flashing unmodified stock firmware packages only in flashmode. You can't make modified FTF files.
