Hi Babai,
My A116 is rooted and is now running TWRP 2.5 and JellysmartV1.2.
To install official stock rom 4.2.1, do I have to unroot my phone before I can follow your instructions on 'Tutorial on 4.2.1 Update via SP Tool and Rooting'.
Or can I directly go ahead with instruction as per the Tutorial?

For the benefit of newbies like me, kindly bear with these questions...
Ques 1:
As I understand, those interested in rooting the mobile should copy the downloaded recovery-cwm-6.0.3.0.img to the S9201_MP_F4_B1_IN_MMX_0.16_flasher_user > S9201_MP_F4_B1_IN_MMX_0.16_flasher_user folder and select this file in place of the original recovery.img present in the folder. Whether to rename the file or not is left to individual preference. Just ensure both .img files are not selected! Correct me if I'm wrong.
Ques 2:
During the above process, should we unselect all other files and select only the .img file?

For this you have to disable signature check(windows 8)PC Settings-> General -> Advanced Start up(restart)-> Troubleshoot (then you have get to disable unsigned drivers check - press 7 when u get there - windows restarts)
Then you connect phone without battery (open device manager b4 that) and when u see Preload Mediatek (something like ) when phone detected in device manager and right click n update driver and search local and select folder for download usb drivers and click install anyway....

Your instructions are really clear enough...:good:
It was only my unfamiliarity with the operation and mix up with an earlier procedure that I read, which led to the confusion.
I have successfully installed STOCK ROM 4.2.1 and rooted my phone, this time without pestering anyone with umpteen phone calls
However, I was stumped when Titanium Backup wanted me to enable 'USB debugging...'. I simply couldn't locate it under Setting. Thanks to http://www.ninjaromeo.com/enable-usb-debugging-developer-options-jelly-bean/ I managed it. (MODS: Please remove link if I'm breaking any forum rules by pasting an external link) For quick reference, I'm pasting the method below...
How to Enable USB Debugging and Developer Options on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean:
Go to – Settings > About phone.
Then move on to Build number option
Tap on Build number repeatedly about 7 times.
This is enough.
After touching 7th time you will see a message that, “you are now a developer”.
Now the option will be placed in Settings menu. Then you can enable it in Developer Options.
Option to 'Allow Installation of Apps from Unknown Sources' can be found under Settings> Security.
Hope this will help others who find themselves in similar predicament.

I'm not really sure about the diff between stock jb 4.2.1 and stock 4.1.2 but after I installed STOCK 4.2.1 as per instructions here, I noticed the foll:
1. My EXT SD is called SDCARD0 and the INTERNAL SD is called SDCARD1. Earlier it used to be named the other way round.
2. Under Settings>Storage, the Ext SD Card is selected as Default Write Disk
3. All Apps are getting installed to the Ext SD Card and the Internal SD Card is practically unused!
So you may not have to do any swapping after all

Intro:
Even though there a lot of articles on how to root most of them are not detailed and still many of you out there who have still not rooted your phone this guide will guide you.
I've gone through lots of articles on how to install CWM recovery , How to Root Canvas HD but almost all of them are not noob friendly and you just don't understand them. As a new user i myself took days to get acclimatized to rooting.........
This is a noob friendly guide to root and install CWM recovery both on 4.1 and 4.2 versions.Everyone can go through this!
Sources & Thanks.
1) Thanks to XDA i've taken a lot of resources from XDA.
2) Thanks to developer of motochopper.
3) Thanks to developer of mobile uncle tools.
4) Thanks to micromax for a beautiful device.
5) Taken help from google.
First what is rooting?
Rooting is a process allowing users of Smartphone’s, tablets, and other devices running the Android operating system to attain privileged control (known as “root access”) within Android’s subsystem. Basically rooting is performed to overcome the limitation that wireless service providers and hardware manufacture of android phone put on some devices. If your android mobile is rooted that means you are the SUPER USER on your android cell phone and you get ability to customize or replace system applications. This little word rooting provide you power to run specialized apps that require administrator-level permissions and perform another operation which are inaccessible to a normal android.
I think this should be more than enough and you would have already spent your time on this!! Hope so
Now what is CWM recovery?
All of the Android devices consign with a recovery assuage that is a basic partition on the device's internal memory and also can be booted into it. The stock recovery of almost all of the Android devices provide a few basic yet useful options that allow us to factory reset our device, clearly it is cache partitioning, and bring back its operating system using an official ROM in zip format, but that is the only thing you can do with it. This is the reason where a custom recovery becomes handy.
A custom Android recovery initially replaces all the stock recovery with the one that lets you to do all that you can with the stock recovery, plus a overabundance of options that give us a lot more control on the device. With a custom recovery, you can install official and unofficial ROMs as well as other updates also including hacks, themes, kernels.Using zip files, wipe not just user data but every standard partition on our device, ascend the storage card for USB mass storage access without leaving recovery, partition your SD card, wipe dalvik cache and battery status, fix the permissions, perform, manage and restore backups, and so on.
This is where CWM recovery comes in our aid!!
There is also another very popular recovery named TWRP which many developers still recommend but still a major drawback is that many ROM developers still prefer CWM so i say go with CWM!

Welcome,
For your first question,
At this stage you will not be able to take the backup of the entire ROM since as you don't have CWM. But in case if you're already rooted then download titanium backup pro and use the backup all feature and in case if you've not rooted then follow this process. Backup all your contacts to your gmail account using the sync option. Then backup messages and call log if you want through some backup app like snap pea. Then download app uninstaller from playstore a free app and backup all the apks ( second or third option don't remember exactly) then backup this file to your PC ( the file name is android it will have the folder data inside it and sometimes another folder obb copy both).
SO by now you have a backup.
Now coming to your second question,
Yes the unrooting will work without any problem You just have to go to the settings and click full unroot and its over! You're worried too much i think no just do full unroot and they wont be able to identify it if you still have doubt then after unrooting you can factory reset your phone and then there is almost no chance the customer care guys find it out.

No after you click on recovery update it will just flash the new recovery and in this case CWM recovery it will not make any backup or so.
But since you're rooted( if i remember properly) then use titanium backup pro to backup whatever you need. But at thi moment you cant backup the entire rom as you've still not flashed CWM!
my phone is
gionee Gpad_G2

There are two easy ways:
1st Method
1. Install a app named ROOT MANAGER from play store (PLEASE NOTE THIS IS FOR ROOTED DEVICE ONLY)
2. If you have already rooted, after installing that app it will ask to install a custom recovery ie. CMW (ClockworkMod Recovery)
3. Before selecting CMW, ROM manager app will ask your device model select accurately and proceed to Download CMW and install it. It will ask for a reboot
4. You are Done
2nd Method: (You must have a Computer)
1. Try to Download the zip file of CMW of your device (zip file differs for device to device, So choose carefully your model)
2. Extract that zip
3. Go to Download mode (Power+ Volume down)
4. Install Software named ODIN v1.85
5. Open Odin and Connect your device to computer.
6. Flash the extracted file using Odin.
7. Done mate :thumbup:

there is no app called root manager it is rom manager and rom manager installs cwm only for a supported no of devices so you cant have cwm with rom manager on all phones

Thanks Adi ! I want to remove some ridiculous permanent apps from my device, I hope root is only option for it. My device is Made in India. Does it has any impact on rooting ? Do you have any step by step instruction guide for rooting, bcoz it is very tough for a beginner to follow video instructions from YouTube.

====================================================================================================
HOW TO
STEP BY STEP GUIDE OF ROOTING,FLASHING CUSTOM RECOVERY & MAKING NANDROID BACKUP/RESTORE FOR DESIRE X DUAL SIM
1.UNLOCKING OF BOOTLOADER
Quote:
Everything starts with this. Unlocking of bootloader will allow you to make changes to some critical partitions of your phone (boot, system and recovery) and will allow you to flash custom recovery that can be used for installing of custom roms, mods and all kind of flashable zips. However, it won't s-off your phone, and other critical partitions (bootloader, radio) remain inaccessible.
So, I won't explain how to do that. Why? Because if you successfully unlock bootloader on your phone it means that you received enough knowledge for the rest of the process and you're qualified to go further.
This process will factory reset your phone (erase data partition) so backup your stuff before you proceed.
Ok, now go to htcdev.com, register your account, go to unlock bootloader section, for the device choose 'All other supported models' and follow the instructions carefully everything is explained in details. Pay attention to 'Required resources' on the first page after confirmation - you need Android SDK platform tools Java Runtime Environment and HTC Sync installed and there are all needed links. Files mentioned in step 5 you will find in Android Bundle zip you downloaded in folder adt-bundle-windows-x86_64\sdk\platform tools.
Here are some useful links about Android SDK platform tools, you won’t be needing most of it but it won't be bad to read.
http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html
http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=ADB
http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Fastboot
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/fastbootRemark: once unlocked bootloader can be relocked but can never be locked again. This can be done issuing command from fastboot:
fastboot oem lock
This means that on the top of you bootloader screen you’ll have a sign RELOCKED instead of LOCKED, which is a notice to HTC that you unlocked it once. Plus they have data about all users that requested unlock_code so they can deny your warranty whenever they want.
If you’ve successfully unlocked your phone bootloader we can proceed to the next step.
2. CUSTOM RECOVERY INSTALLING AND ROOTING
-Here you can find custom recoveries attached below.Rename it to recovery.img and put it on the root of c: drive on your PC.
-Also you can download Super su from
http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
-Connect your phone to PC and put Supersu.zip file somewhere on your phone Sdcard.
- Do not disconnect your phone from PC, reboot phone to fastboot on one of this ways :
1.Choose restart from power menu and when the screen comes off wait for the buttons to turn off and immediately push volume down, the phone will boot to bootloader, then select fastboot from bootloader menu
2.Issuing command
adb reboot-bootloader
from command prompt that will take you directly to fastboot
- Once you’re in fastboot mode open command prompt, lead it to folder where you installed adb and fastboot (remark: unlocking bootloader guide pointed you to make a folder c:\Android for this) and issue commands:
fastboot flash recovery c:\recovery.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache
The second and third commands are not quite necessary but they don’t harm and leave your phone with no trails of previous recoveries. Now you can disconnect your phone from your PC.
- From fastboot menu choose bootloader and then recovery to reboot phone to recovery
- If you successfully boot to recovery choose options:
Install zip from sd card
Choose zip from sd card
Navigate to superuser.zip you stored on sd card and choose it. Once the installation is finished reboot your phone. Now you should see Superuser app in app drawer and your phone is rooted.
3.HOW TO MAKE NANDROID BACKUP[Step1-2] & RESTORE[Steps 3-6](Generating System Dump)
From @NexusPrime experience of building recoveries, if backup works, there is 99% chance that restore will also work....
1. Boot to recovery
2. Select Backup, and COMPLETE backup of each partition(Remember to select Sdcard as storage option for backup before swiping the Backup button)
3. Now, Wipe ONLY DATA, DALVIK, and CACHE (It is essentially a factory reset, so dont wory, you'll just lose contacts, sms n apps)
4. Now reboot, check whether factory reset was successful.
5. Boot to recovery again
6. Restore the data partition ONLY.
7. If it is Successful, Reboot, and check all apps are back or not...
8. If they are back, then celebrate, You can safely take nandroid backups and restore them.
It is the safest path i can suggest. and negligible risk if at all.
OR
If possible get the whole complete SYSTEM by following below method -
If you copy them with ES File explorer, it's going to be a bit tedious as you need to copy folder by folder. If you just simply select system and copy to sdcard you will have missing files.And the easiest way to get the full system dump is :
The device usb debugging is enabled & make sure the device is connected to PC. Then from your adb/fastboot folder then run this command :
adb devices
adb pull /system/
The full system dump will be in your adb/fastboot folder
then zip the whole folders and keep it safely.

Viper4android
Installation flash method for s-on HTC DESIRE X DUAL SIM T329W PROTODUG
If anyone Got viper4android fx or hifi (audio mod) by @zhuhang @viper520
But it won't work on your HTC phones due s-ON (/SYSTEM WRITE PROTECTION)
even if you are rooted.
For over nearly 2 months I have been trying various things 2 get viper audio fx to work on
HTC DESIRE x dual sim t329w protodug, ,,,,,,,,,
So, here I got it working after many searching$
Recommendations :
1. TWRP for htc protodug by @neXus PRIME
2. Download this below :
(necessary mod only for htc desire x dual sim t329w protodug)
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/egx2gpjxyl7a6bh/mda8Rr8jza
now you got the folder viPer audio for htc protodug, ,,
Note :- don't try on any other device
As the files are edited to work only on
htc desire x dual sim t329w protodug
Commands are edited under original/stock
build.prop and audio_effects.conf extracted from [[protodug]]
And only for those who are currently on
stock rooted HTC PROTODUG (T329W)
and/or running roms built by @ckpv5 for
Htc desire x dual sim t329w protodug
Follow these steps, ,,
1. Put the folder in sdcard where you can locate it easily, open the folder
INSTALL the viperfx.apk and viperhifi.apk both as a regular app.
2. Now boot into recovery,
3. First thing to do is --- creating a "NANDROID BACKUP"
(skip, if you already got NAND backup)
4. Now under MOUNT tab Ensure sdcard and system are mounted.
5. Get into ADVANCED tab
Click on FILE MANAGER --- scroll to sdcard and locate the folder viper audio for htc protodug.
open it and, (execute carefully !)
Click on build.prop and
copy the file and browse to /system and
click the select button on bottom right corner and then you will be asked 'swipe to confirm' then, swipe.
go back to viper folder on sdcard and now
click on audio_effects.conf
and copy the file and browse to /system/etc
and repeat the same swiping procedure for confirming copy,,,,
AND back 2 viper folder you will find these soundfx libs for viper audio,,,,
libv4a_fx_gb.so
libv4a_fx_ics.so
libv4a_xhifi_ics.so
You have to copy these each to /system/lib/soundfx
Done, ,,,,,,,
copying summary to confirm :-
-- build.prop to /system
-- audio_effects.conf to /system/etc
-- (libv4a_fx_gb.so , libv4a_fx_ics.so , libv4a_xhifi_ics.so) to /system/lib/soundfx
6. Now fixing permissions..........
Recheck whether system and sdcard are mounted,,,
get into advanced/file manager Select /system and click on build.prop ,,,,
you have to click on chmod(never click on chmod 755)!,,
There you will see default value 0000 ,,,
edit the value to 0644 and
press enter button on keyboard(qwerty).
And slide to confirm.
Now head to /system/etc ,,,
click on audio_effects.conf and select chmod ...
Enter the value 0644 Confirm by swiping.
After, go to /system/lib/soundfx
And fix permission via chmod entering value 0644
For each of the below, ,,,,,,,,
libv4a_fx_gb.so
libv4a_fx_ics.so
libv4a_xhifi_ics.so
Now reboot the system under REBOOT tab
Open, viper audio fx and hifi simultaneously, ,,,,,,,,,,,
Check the options tab for "driver status"
You will get :-
For viper4android/viper audio fx
Driver version - 2.3.2.2
Neon - enabled
For viper4android hifi
Driver version - 2.1.0.2
Then 100 % success.............
Congratulations
Turn off DVC under settings/audio/advanced tweaks if you want to use it
with poweramp
And try not to merge any other equalizer/mod wit these two (fx and hifi)
It will distort the quality.........

And anyone who's got a problem with this being here...
---------- Post added at 11:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:05 AM ----------
Also can you add Link to the HTCDev website, attach nexusprime's recovery thread in this thread instead of linking to it (Link is dead aswell ?) Make it a bit more lengthy, Include a little thing about the pro's and cons of Rooting. ultimitley keep it simple (for complete noob users.) but detailed enough so it's educational and easy to use instead of a few non detailed Lines with Links
And add a link to Chainfire's superSU thread and credit him aswell...

Can you check and advise your software version no., is it 2.12.1402.1 as I posted here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46966857&postcount=39
Now you said you can restore with no problem, will you take the risk to try flashing the ROM that I posted ? If it doesn't work, you can restore your nandroid backup, right ?
If it work and it is the same version no. as yours, I will deodexed that one and later make it full sense.

Can you check and advise your software version no., is it 2.12.1402.1 as I posted here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46966857&postcount=39
Now you said you can restore with no problem, will you take the risk to try flashing the ROM that I posted ? If it doesn't work, you can restore your nandroid backup, right ?
If it work and it is the same version no. as yours, I will deodexed that one and later make it full sense.

Unlocking bootloader and rooting desire xds
STEP BY STEP GUIDE OF ROOTING AND FLASH CUSTOM RECOVERY FOR DESIRE X DUAL SIM
1.UNLOCKING OF BOOTLOADER
Quote:
Everything starts with this. Unlocking of bootloader will allow you to make changes to some critical partitions of your phone (boot, system and recovery) and will allow you to flash custom recovery that can be used for installing of custom roms, mods and all kind of flashable zips. However, it won't s-off your phone, and other critical partitions (bootloader, radio) remain inaccessible.
So, I won't explain how to do that. Why? Because if you successfully unlock bootloader on your phone it means that you received enough knowledge for the rest of the process and you're qualified to go further.
This process will factory reset your phone (erase data partition) so backup your stuff before you proceed.
Ok, now go to htcdev.com, register your account, go to unlock bootloader section, for the device choose 'All other supported models' and follow the instructions carefully everything is explained in details. Pay attention to 'Required resources' on the first page after confirmation - you need Android SDK platform tools Java Runtime Environment and HTC Sync installed and there are all needed links. Files mentioned in step 5 you will find in Android Bundle zip you downloaded in folder adt-bundle-windows-x86_64\sdk\platform tools.
Here are some useful links about Android SDK platform tools, you won’t be needing most of it but it won't be bad to read.
http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html
http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=ADB
http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Fastboot
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/fastboot
Remark: once unlocked bootloader can be relocked but can never be locked again. This can be done issuing command from fastboot:
fastboot oem lock
This means that on the top of you bootloader screen you’ll have a sign RELOCKED instead of LOCKED, which is a notice to HTC that you unlocked it once. Plus they have data about all users that requested unlock_code so they can deny your warranty whenever they want.
If you’ve successfully unlocked your phone bootloader we can proceed to the next step.
2. CUSTOM RECOVERY INSTALLING AND ROOTING
Quote:
There you can find custom recoveries for DesXDS . rename it to recovery.img and put it on the root of c: drive on your PC.
There you can find out super su
http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
connect your phone to PC and put it somewhere on your phone sd card.
- Do not disconnect your phone from PC, reboot phone to fastboot on one of this ways :
1. choose restart from power menu and when the screen comes off wait for the buttons to turn off and immediately push volume down, the phone will boot to bootloader, then select fastboot from bootloader menu
2. issuing command
adb reboot-bootloader
from command prompt that will take you directly to fastboot
- once you’re in fastboot mode open command prompt, lead it to folder where you installed adb and fastboot (remark: unlocking bootloader guide pointed you to make a folder c:\Android for this) and issue commands:
fastboot flash recovery c:\recovery.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache
The second and third commands are not quite necessary but they don’t harm and leave your phone with no trails of previous recoveries. Now you can disconnect your phone from your PC.
- From fastboot menu choose bootloader and then recovery to reboot phone to recovery
- If you successfully boot to recovery choose options:
Install zip from sd card
Choose zip from sd card
Navigate to superuser.zip you stored on sd card and choose it. Once the installation is finished reboot your phone. Now you should see Superuser app in app drawer and your phone is rooted.

@ckpv5
Done wid system dump its around 450mb zip so when i upload it.
I will PM you ..
Here my software info
@Ghost1510 My software info are exactly same as that of yours. I will wait to root my device till you successfully port full sense deodexed Rom from any developer. When you successfully do it then I will proceed. It will be bad if both our device brick at once. Hope you understand the situation. Beside that my my device is not even 20 Days old. So I fear the risk of damaging my New device.

Just open up Systemui with 7zip an replace the relevant images
For Z2 Marshmallow .291 and LOCKED bootloader.
Working for D6503. Seems to be issues for D6543 model. Not sure about D6502...
1. Firstly go to https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6aEcBP7FwsWUGpQdHdvaVRCQlk/view and download the .291 kernel.
2. Then download SuperSU from here.
3. Put both these files on your phone's SD card.
4. Next download the .575 kernel here.
5. Before this can be used, you need to change it from a .zip file to a .ftf file.
- Go to the file location in the file browser.
- Click on the 'View' section in the top ribbon (Win 10).
- Check 'file name extensions' in the 'show/hide' section.
- Rename the kernel file, deleting the .zip and replacing it with .ftf instead at the end.
6. Download the Recovery for MM from here.
Extract the zip file.
7. Download the correct drivers for your phone: simplest way seems to be by installing Sony PC Companion and connecting your device.
8. Download and install 'Flashtool' from here. (The 0.9.18.6 version seems to have better compatibility).
9. Install the drivers for the flash- if you are on windows 10 or 8 you will need to turn off driver signing first:
A) Press the Windows key + R together and in the ‘Run’ box type: shutdown.exe /r /o /f /t 00
- This will take you to the advanced boot menu.
– Now make the following selections to boot into the Start Up Setting Screen: Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Start Up Settings > Restart
– Then, when the machine restarts, select number 7 i.e. “Disable driver signature enforcement”. Your machine will start with Driver signing enforcement disabled until the next reboot.
B) Now you can install the Flashtool drivers.
– Windows will warn that the driver is not signed and will require you to confirm the installation.
– Once the installation is complete, reboot the machineTo install the drivers you need to go to the Flashtool install folder (e.g. C:\Flashtool) and go in to the 'drivers' folder and run the 'flashtool-drivers.exe'.
- From the menu select Flashmode drivers, Fastboot drivers, and then scroll down and select Xperia Z2 device drivers (not sure if this last one is necessary if you've done step 7 previously, but I did it and everything worked.)
- Click install, and click okay on the warning messages.
10. Enable developer options on your phone (repeatedly tap on build number in 'About phone' in settings.)
Then make sure that USB Debugging is enabled, and in 'Security' that 'Allow Unknown Sources' is enabled.
11. Back up vital data (though you shouldn't loose anything), then power your phone off with it not connected to the computer.
12. Startup Flashtool and let it update etc.
13. While holding the volume down button on your phone, connect it to your PC.
Flashtool should respond and spew out a few lines of text ending with something like 'Phone ready for flashmode operations'.
14. Click on the lightning bolt, select 'Flashmode', and then in the next window browse to the location of the .575 .ftf kernel file you made. Select it, then click 'flash' at the bottom right. There should be more lines of text hopefully showing that this is completed successfully.
15. Close Flashtool, disconnect your phone, then turn on your phone.
16. Flash the recovery: Reconnect your phone to the PC and select MSC mode.
Go to the unzipped recovery and run 'install.bat' as administrator (if that doesn't work try not as administrator).
If the window that opens up stays on 'starting daemon...' for a while check on your phone as you may need to authorize the 'unknown source' connection from the PC.
The installation should complete with a 'press any key to continue'. Your phone should then automatically reboot in to TWRP recovery.
17. Install SuperSU: Once in TWRP go to 'Install' and select the SuperSU zip (you may need to select 'storage' and choose your SD card first). Swipe to install!
18. Reinstall the .291 kernel: still in TWRP do basically the same as for SuperSU but this time with the MM .291 zip.
19. Cross your fingers and reboot!
20. All being well you are now rooted, you can check root by installing 'Root Checker' form the play store.
21. Open a beer and relax!
(22. Install Cyberian camera!)
Please give me some thanks if I have helped you!

Ha, yeah, sorry. It's not meant to be insulting, it's more tongue in cheek and based off the book series 'An Idiots Guide To...'
These are the instructions I needed to be able to do it myself, I just thought it would be easier for people to have it all consolidated in to one clear, easy to understand, set of instructions.
I'll change the title though, just incase it puts anyone off!
My device is D6543 and at the time of installing TWRP it appeared '... Error: device not supported'.

My device is the D6543 .291 Stock and I have the Bootloader Unlocked, I am not able to do the TWRP procedure, the device normally reboots without Recovery Mode, what should I do?
I'm afraid I don't know about how to do the D6543. I did this with my D6503. Best thing to do is to post in this thread for some help.
Please post back here if you figure it out so that I can add the info to this guide.
I'll change the instructions so that is clear that this is tested on D6503.
I have aproblem with flashtool i couldn't find the specific ftf file though i put it in the specified folder

You can save the .575 kernel file where you like, as long as you browse to that location when selecting which file to flash in Flashtool.
Make sure it has actually been changed to a ftf file (like in step 5) and isn't still a zip: right click on the file and select properties, then details.

I know. I mean I don't know why you can't find the file.
The version of Flashtool I link to in the guide is the old version 0.9.18.6, so if you followed the guide you should already be using it.
Are you sure you renamed it to ftf correctly? You don't need to extract it.

Thanks for this, tooplanx, Works perfectly. Step by step guides like this are invaluable even if, like me, you've rooted a similar device before a few months ago, there is always little steps which you forget about so to have a guide like this is greatly appreciated.
