woohooooo!
oh yes ive have been waiting for a custom rom
do we not need a custom recovery before we can flash roms
That would be the easier way. But with unlocked bootloader, and fastboot some will be able to flash a system.img.

its not just system that needs to be flashed, boot needs to be flashed also and misc needs to be formatted, but yes its all possible from fastboot, it's just not very noob friendly

We had other Modaco ROMs before any recovery was ported. Advent Vega is an example.
I was just wondering since I looked and haven't found anything.
Has the bootloader been hacked for xperia plays that are not sim unlocked.
If not than this rom is only for the users with sim-unlocked plays.right?
Any news on the advancement of unlocking the bootloader on locked plays.

I was cruising around doing some reading today and found a thread where someone had managed to pull the stock recovery out of an SBF file and replace it with Clockwork. They even made a "recovery only" sbf file and successfully installed it on their phone.
So from what I can gather, this would allow people to flash ROMs, themes, etc. without having to unlock and install a new recovery? You would have Clockwork with a locked bootloader?
Someone shed some light on this for me, please.
I think the bootloader still needs to be unlocked because of the signature verification.

Not so much signature validation, because that is a function of the recovery - but unlocking the partitions to be written too.

Thanks for clarifying, I wasn't quite sure.

I think I understand now, thanks. I was under the assumption that since Motorola are technically the only ones who are creating the sbf files, that they would be trusted by the devices to do as they please. Again, I am just learning here so thanks for whatever info comes about on this.
If anyone is at all interested in the thread I stumbled upon:

No, cwm was never officially ported to the amaze, use 4ext recovery, its simpler, official and the touch version is the simplest thing ever.

It was not official, it was a port from xboarder, read around a bit.
By official I mean that it works even if its a port or agreements n I'm currently using it n can't seem to find some wrong except when I tried flashing a zip file had to do it twice n it worked after n don't mistake me I barely got posts but I get around pretty quick n I've read the bible atleast twice ha

I'll give you one advantage of 4EXT that no other recovery has, it can flash kernels even though you are s-on, but hey as I always say, it's all down to personal preference, if you feel comfortable with cwm, then stick with it, it's all down to comfort, IMO, which is the primary key in advanced android experience and modification.
Ugh that's y I can't flash the kernels on hasoon ? N I never used 4ext maybe I should n do they have an app like cwm or can I still use cwm?

4EXT is basically a modified and developed CWM specifically for the amaze, with advantages since it's officially developed to work with it other than a port. On the point of hasoon's tool, you just have to try try again until it works, it's a hit and miss thing with some options but try try until it works, that happens to the best of us. Mainly with some ROMS like ARHD, that have kernel included, they require 4ext since a lot of users are s-on and only 4ext can flash kernels in that state.
Yeah I see n I'm on ics ota ha 4.0.3 but I was gonna ask u about bloater I know that it removes unnecessary stuff from tmo but what or how should I use it? N hasoon I've tried 7 times already lucky I backed up my Rom ha

In that case, I'd advise you to get titanium backup and uninstall anything you don't need, becareful to check the forum list for things that can be uninstalled first. Or you can use es explorer like I did and delete the files from system/app folder.

xcream and [email protected] roms are pretty cool, easy to install on locked bootloader and clean,
You can also use the attached "recovery", very quick no reinstalls, and even root direct with flashtool. A lot faster than the old method

Why didn't you pick a better time to do this since India and Pakistan get power outages? Or use the generator in your house. Corruption these days smh.
Back to the point, I had a similar situation except I made the classic mistake that almost every single person with an unbranded amaze made. Flashing an ics rom without firmware or even s off. I however know how to search, read, and comprehend unlike many of those people who bloated up the q a section with ICS updation threads...
I solved this little mess by finding a gb rom then starting the quest for s off, super Cid, and the magical firmware.

When you relock you don't loose s-off, so after flashing the desired firmware ruu all you have to do is unlock again with the same blob you used to unlock originally. Then install a recovery and root again. It's not difficult, just time consuming.

Have you tried a gingerbread stock Rom?
Also, you can download the ph85img.zip from my viper Rom or arhd and put it on the external sdcard and boot into bootloader.
See if that helps.
Make sure after you flash the update, you go into recovery and flash the Rom of your choice. And make sure to delete the ph85img.zip from the sdcard so it doesn't flash every time you go into bootloader.
What recovery are you using?
4 ext is preferred for my Rom.
