So the Verizon 4.0.4 Factory Image was just published by Google, so I downloaded it to my phone for safe keeping. I'm just curious, if I install a custom ROM and I want to go back to stock ICS can I just flash this file like a ROM? Also will I loose root if I do that?
This is what I'm talking about.
Yes you loose root and custom recovery.

actually, no... you have to flash it using fastboot commands, flashing image by image:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloaderxxxxx.img
fastboot flash system systemxxxx.img
fastboot flash recovery recoveryxxx.img
etc, etc, etc...
your phone will be exactly like never touched, that means of course, stock with no root or custom recovery.

Thank you, so when I rooted my phone it created a recovery image, and that's what I would want to use to go back to "stock + keeping root"
Right?
Yes make a nandroid backup in CWM , and if you want to go back restore this.
In CWM go to backup and restore.

don't understand exactly what you mean... the thing is:
"root" means that you have access to root files/partitions, that is it, but the usual way to get root is: unlock bootloader, flash custom recovery using fastboot, flash root file.
now you have a "stock" phone with root access and custom recovery (usually custom recovery is replaced by stock one in the first reboot) and you end with a stock phone + root! that is exactly what you want!
as barbac666 said, you should make a nandroid backup as soon as you flash your custom recovery, even before root it!
why don't you use the tool kit available in dev section?
It's alot easier if you use the Nexus tool kit v7, It makes it alot easier by placing the image file in the specific folder and just tapping a key. Then again it's best to keep a placed copy elsewhere as the image tends to get wiped/deleted after flashing (to avoid conflict with other image files).

I think I got it. I think I slightly misunderstood the true meaning of root.
All I've done so far is unlock the bootloader and flashed the recovery that was instructed in this thread. So the recovery image I flashed there, replaced my "stock" one, but after doing a reboot, the stock recovery replaced my custom one? So I'm now stock with an unlocked bootloader and root?
As for the toolkit, I'm going to look into it, I was just looking to root, and followed the guide I found.

You dont need to flash cwm to get it running. If its only needed to flash su/superuser.apk, you may 'fastboot boot cwm.img', it will take you to cwm.

That's exactly why I wanted to do it like that.
On my LG Revolution there was pretty much only one root method and it was a one click, so I've never rooted manually. I'm happy I did.
I have Rom ToolBox Pro that I bought when I had my Revolution so I have access to boot to recovery and manage ROM's. I was just curious about the Google image file.
So at this point, is there really a reason for the Toolbox? Since I'm rooted already, I can do backups from CWM Recovery as well as flashing ROM's and Kernals. I've only ever done this from CWM on the phone so I'm used to doing it on the phone. I read most of the thread and it seams most helpful in the rooting/unlocking process.
does the galaxy W need to be rooted to flash with ODIN or it does not need to be.
for example i can just flash CWM and then install CM9 without root and I'll be ok.

ODIN is to be use on standard updates on stock ROM. Normally you can get it through www.sammobile.com/firmware/
Root ROM like CM9 by Arco and others variation such as Paranoid Android by Doomsday94 must be on rooted phone. This link (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1317394) will helps you how to root. I suggest you read through these steps.

Anything on a computer has full access to android devices. So odin and other apps like that for computers will be able to do anything to your device if it reqiures download mode. Download mode is basicly rhe first piece of already rooted (you could say) equiptment on a phone that anyone could access.

Odin does not need root. It's a standard software from Samsung to updates/upgrade/downgrade stock ROM or even flash baseband (upgrade/downgrade). But in order to use ODIN, your phone must be on download mode.
I hope this is simple enough for you to try. Again, please read my first post comments.

I've been trying to figure out what you really mean but I really don't understand.
In one way or another, you will be needing both root and CWM if you're to use your phone to the fullest. I strongly suggest to do the two things.
i suppose your question was "do you need root before flashing CWM with ODIN?"
i think you can flash it (CWM recovery) without rooting, but on the other hand, CWM might need root access before it can work on your phone.

I think what this guy meant was: If I'm not rooted, but can flash CWM using ODIN, what's the purpose of rooting?
Assuming I translated his question correctly, here's my answer :
Flashing a recovery (RZR, CWM) or a ROM (BC2, Kez, BN, ArcoICS) is like installing Windows 7 on a PC: You don't need to know the password of the Administrator account of the previous OS; just boot the Setup DVD, and it has full unfettered access to the whole PC.
Rooting a phone is unlocking its capability. It's like resetting the administrator password of a PC, so that you can install things on it.

Guys,
I installed the CWM before rooting, is it a problem? How can I root my phone with CWM already installed? I am having some problems with Cyanonmod 10, for exemple, I can't take pictures because it says that there's no external SD Card installed what isn't true.

Short answer: no. its not a problem. You can root your phone with cwm installed. It wont affect anything. And if you want root then just search it up.
Secondly, about CM10.1, its still in alpha.(bugs like that are always probable) Dont report it here. Report it in the CM10 thread. Its bound to get noticed more there and fixed quicker there.

Hi guys, so i have my stock Xperia Play GSM and i wanna install a custom Kernel with CWM and then root the phone using CWM. Can you please tell me what is the best Kernel for games and also has the CWM built in. Do i have to do anything else to my phone before i can do this ? I unlocked my bootloader and installed Flashtool ...
Device: Sony Ericsson Xperia Play R800i GSM, Android 2.3.4 -> 4.0.2.A.0.69
Thanks !
I can't tell you which is the best, and I hope all threads starting with "best" gets locked. But generally you need 2.3.3 to root but since you already have an unlocked bootloader, you can install any custom kernel, they have CWM installed so you can boot into recovery by pressing the Volume down button at Sony logo. From there you can install a custom rom that is already rooted. You need the rom and kernel to be compatible with each other in order for the phone to boot.
If you want to just root the phone you need to down grade to 2.3.3 and use the root feature in flashtool. If you want to manually install clock work mod, after rooting, use the CWM installer version 5 from this link, the option to reboot into CWM in the program will not work BTW, you'll have to do it manually. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1437840

The flashing process can take time, wait up to 10minutes. Sometimes it can get stuck due to bad cable or other variables. Try plugin it in a different port, preferably USB 2.0 port, and with no other USB devices connected to your computer, keep trying and it will work eventually. Try a different cable as well.
Flashtool have to work with locked bootloader, which is needed if you want to restore a locked phone to stock. You don't have to check anything unless you want to specifically exclude it from being flashes. You should flash this firmware, its 2.3.4 but it has been modified to be rootable: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1591398
I thought you said you unlocked your bootloader though.
Start by saying I'm very new about Android and smartphone in general.
Four days ago I got my first smartphone, a Xperia Play model R800i and some friends suggested me to install ICS. I searched on the internet and I have found the Xperia Play Development forum. There, I found a really interesting ROM called "New Express ICS".
I downloaded all the files and I started to follow the guide. I'm stuck at the second point (I believe this is ridiculous): I can't get into the Recovery Mode and I didn't get if I can flash the custom kernel (bootics.img) on flash tool.
I haven't rooted my phone, it's 100% virgin, yet.
Can someone explain me what to do? I'm searching answer here and on google for three days and I'm getting even more confused.
Sorry if my english is not perfect, it isn't my first language.

I see you unlock your bootloader, good job! Place the ROM zip into your SD card first. Next, to get into recovery mode, just fastboot the kernel you want.
-Power off phone.
-Hold search button while connecting to PC via USB
-Open flashtool, click the thunderbolt icon, select fastboot
-Select kernel to flash (select your kernel bootics.img)
-Wait for 2 seconds and voila!
After that, power on your phone, when blue LED lights up with a vibration, spam volume button / back button (depends on kernel) then you'll be able to enter recovery

Again, read his guide on flashing kernel and roms: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2054512
Which kernel you flash is depended on the rom you want to use it with, you need to flash a GB kernel if you want to use GB rom, ICS kernel for ICS, etc, although some kernel are compatible with both ICS and JB. Search the development section for kernels and roms. If you flash a rom and it fail to boot, it mean the kernel currently installed is not compatible with that rom.
About ClockworkMod Recovery:
If you flash a custom kernel, it will likely have ClockworkMod Recovery included. Or if you are using stock Sony firmware, use the "CWM installer version 5" from this link to install CWM. Sometimes you will get a status 7 error when you try flashing a rom, it might mean you have to use a different version of ClockworkMod to flash that rom successfully.
First of all, thank you both!
Can I flash bootics.img in the Flashtool? The fma965's tutorial speaks about a "*.zip" file besides a "*.img" file.
Also, he says to use fastboot package that I have already used to unlock the bootloader.

Flash boot.img in Flashtool/Fastboot as instructions above from jeff7424:good:Zip files are what you put on your sd card and flash with cwm recovery, these can be either roms, updates to roms,zip files to change appearance, performance tweaks, too many to mention.
So .img and .ftf files use in Flashtool/Fastboot and zip files use on SD card to flash with CWM recovery.
Not to complicate it too much sometimes the boot.img comes in a .zip file you need to extract this to use in flashtool/fastboot with winra/7z unzip programs
Edit; Busybox download it with Superuser app on your phone or download a app from store to update your busybox
What is it?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BusyBox
But I don't need busybox to flash kernel and ROM, right?
You can get busybox from Play Store, just search Busybox installer, install it, open the app and install busybox.

Hey guys,
Newbie here, looking to root my M8 running on Android 6.0
I've been reading a bit and came across first unlocking bootloader, any of you guys know what to do afterwards on 6.0 since the guides I've read are on M8s running 4.4 and 5.0?
I want to flash RESURRECTION REMIX v5.8.2, any help pls?
Also, does anyone know if this ROM supports Substratum theme engine?
Thanks a lot in advance guys!
To be clear, there is a difference between just rooting (stock ROM), and process for flashing a custom ROM. Main reason for confusion, is that you do not need to root in order to flash a custom ROM (contrary to some other devices). You simply need an unlocked bootloader, and custom recovery TWRP.
Before you unlock the bootloader, backup any of your data (off-phone to computer, SD, etc.) you want to keep; as the phone will be wiped when you unlock the bootloader.
After unlocking the bootloader, just flash TWRP using fastboot. You should use current TWRP version, which is 3.1.0-0 which you can get here: https://dl.twrp.me/m8/
After that, just put the desired ROM on the phone, boot into TWRP, backup your current (stock) ROM (in case you want or need to revert) then do default wipe in TWRP (data, Dalvik, cache) and install the ROM.
I don't know if RR supports substratum. Just check or search the RR ROM thread.
Also, questions should be posted to the Q&A section, not General. So I'll ask the mods to move this thread.

To be clear, the kernel flashes with the ROM on this device, and that is true with s-on.
There are older HTC devices, where you had to flash the kernel separately by fastboot, or have s-off (in which case, kernel would flash with the ROM). But none of this ever applied to the M8.

Thanks for the clarification, that's probably why i got confused (watched some older video on rooting, kernel, c roms and so on). So which parts of software (or hardware) would you want to manipulate with or change that would require s-off?

Always be sure to research the root/mod methods for your specific device (not just another HTC phone, etc.). Every phone has its own peculiarities and nuances.

There is a number of modifications that require s-off, such as changing CID/MID, flashing modified hboots, manually flashing radios, flashing older version RUU ("downgrading") and a number of other things.
But for root, flashing ROMs, and most other common mods, just having an unlocked bootloader, custom recovery TWRP and s-on is enough.

for example you don't need root to have a working xposed framework ( some modules require root though )
So it's up to you and what you will use
We can tell you what you have to do if you tell us what you up to

What I think he meant was: if you want to use Xposed, read and understand about it first. You should have read the basic instructions on how to install it.

Although, what I was asking about, since the Isntalled Rom is already pre-rooted, why do I need a full flash using TWRP again.

In order for xposed to work, you need to flash the xposed framework using TWRP, period. It's not complicated, and it's stated in the instructions clearly.

I am a bit confused here, the situation is like this: I need Xposed installed in order to use some modules mainly (Xprivacy..).
I have tried to install TWRP using Adb (Attached) which I assume it wasn't successful so far.
how to proceed now.
Thanks
