I dont get it.. there is no CWM recovery so how can we flash the file ? Also we just change the files of the system on the PC, not in phone

wait for devs to come in and do it in short way

From common sense, its logical that a rooted rom will obviously work So if anyone still has doubts, go through with it and have no worries It will work just fine
[ps : This is the same method I described so dont get confused ]

I already got it, you need to make a flashable CWM update.zip archive.
This is problem I have very few free space on SDcard.
Would it B so hard if anybody made pre-rooted ftf file for locked BL?

the problem is my data connection,otherwise i would have uploaded flashable zip for LB
btw can anyone provide me updater script of stock ICS rom?

I'm at step 12, but noob question is coming: where should I place kernel.elf in the flashable zip?
Now I have the following folders in my zip:
\META-INF
\system
...and all the files from step 8 in the system folder.

pandemic and s4tch try with this updater script
put kernel.elf in root of zip
zip should be like this
\META-INF
\system
\kernel.elf

root of the folder means in zip not in any folder/directory
replace the updater script with mine which i gave in above post
make a flashable zip
which will look like
\META-INF\com\google\android:- replace my updater script here
\system:- super user app as i mentioned in my steps in 1st post
\kernel.elf :- kernel.elf here

^Thanks! Flasingh back ICS now, I'll report results in 30-40 minutes.
