It's not a bootloader, it's a whole ROM.
The advantage is that it's the latest version of the firmware
But will flash new bootloader? Yes, I guess dats wats important. The google drive link is down for nw...

What is exactly the profit from flashing this bootloader tar? and can it be installed on a custom rom like omega v34 4.1.2 JB?

Yes you can flash it on any rom including omega. I don't see any problem.
This new bootloader fixes EXYNOS BUG and S3 SUDDEN DEATH issue.

there is no evidence about this two cases..
for exynos bug fix,samsung FAKE!!!
I already flash this firmware+bootloader...the bug still exist..
From my experience : once u flash this new bootloader,u cannot flash back ICS bootloader or older rom...I already tried it...

GT-S5830
S5830XWKTE
2.3.6
2012 March
S5830EPLKP3
(e-plus)
i tried to root it with cf-root. b3 b4, and the fix. no go.
and when i flash cwm5 it will only last for one boot cycle.?
WTF is goin on with this rom? just wont allow root access. i have tried a few version now of root and cwm. and having no luck.
i wanted to try this rom as it is lighter that latest russian version. and it locks on to wifi pretty instantly.
anyone tried and succeded?
P.s im not new to flashing ether, tried flashing cf-root with all version of cwm recovery, no go
Operator specific firmwares usually have locked bootloaders. I am not really sure but I think they have locked the bootloader.

you should know that samsung never ever ever ever lock bootloaders on devices.. its other OEMs SE,MOto,HTC who play dirty games. otherwise you would had a thread sticky here saying "unlock/relock bootloaders SGA"

One time I had the same problem and I just had to flash old stock recovery before flashing the root-zip.
To get the old recovery you just have to flash the file from here via clockworkmod.
After this rooting should work. I prefere rooting the phone by flashing the upd_1.zip from here.
Good day, XDA. I'd like to ask help with regards to rooting my Xperia S. I have recently bought this and it got shipped with ICS 4.0.4 and build number 6.1.A.0.45 and I updated its build number to 6.1.A.2.45. I have also unlocked its bootloader successfully. Now I'm having problems on how to root this. I've read certain posts regarding ICS rooting and they all state that it has to have 6.1.A.0.45 build number. But I don't know how to rollback to the previous build number. What should I do?? Please help..
Ciaossu!~
Just flash Advanced stock kernel v14 by arakmar via fastboot.
What will it let me achieve then, bro?
BTW, thanks for the reply.

I am in the exact situtation as you. I too bought my Xperia S last week and have updated to the latest firmware. As this is my first Android phone, I have no clue how to move forward.

Thanks for the link. but the link you gave is for GB and I am on ICS already. (I know, there is a way to flash to GB but... ) I will better wait for a perfect way for rooting a device with ICS on locked BL installed.
BTW, here
Also, you can never brick your device on LOCKED bootloaders so don't worry
DId he mean unlocked bootloader?

Yea, i too hope someday someone will develop a way to root so that you don't have to go back to GB !!
Only for unlocked bootloader... here is a step by step I put together using the information gathered from various threads here in XDA.. I have used this very same method for my phone, so it is definitely working.. if you run into any problem like not being able to get into the Fastboot mode, or I missed some file, let me know..

Thanks for this bro! I'll try this out later when I get home. Will my data be lost?
So essentially you are just replacing a stock kernel by a rooted kernel. What if I want to go back to the unrooted kernel?

I faced the same problem as yours...mine is Xperia Sola.After flashing an experimental CM9 based rom,touchscreen and touch buttons failed to function.I flashed back stock ICS ftf but even then it didn't work.Then i flashed stock GB firmware and voila-touchscreen functionality restored.
Hope this helps you too.

Hello, i am having a problem with my camera everytime i try to open it, the app returns me an error.
I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2006128 it says to me to launch the camera firmware utility with the command *#34971539#.
The problem is that my phone won't open that code, it returns me an error on factory test.
I already tried to flash several roms including the stock without root, no success.
If anyone know how to solve this i would be really glad if you post here
Thanks!

in ics firmwares some memory error leads system to a hardware failure. so once you downgrade to ics, you need to upgrade to 4.1.2 ASAP once you check whether the camera is working or not. :good:
