[Q] Need help with installing Slimbean on Xperia S

Hello, I have Xperia S with the latest firmware 6.2.B.1.96, which I have root using the Doomlord method, and then TA Backup my DRM keys.
And now, I want to flash Slimbean on it, and regarding to this thread, I need to flash the official kernel first before flashing the rom? since I'm using the Sony stock firmware? or I don't need to?
Thanks.

You need to unlock your bootloader

Ah yes, I know I have to unlock my bootloader before installing a custom rom, but just wanted to make sure I have done everything before installing Slimbean, like whether or not I should flash this kernel first before proceeding or not since I already have the latest stock firmware on my XS?
Thanks.

Hi,
Yes. You need to flash the kernel before proceeding.
Extract the Kernel from zip file(ROM) and flash it.

Chandru.

Um, by kernel you mean boot.img right? Which one? From the Slim-nozomi-4.2.2.build.8-OFFICIAL.zip or Kernel from OFFICIAL release build 2.5 ?
Oh, I'm trying to find Gapps for this ROM from the slimbean website, but just couldn't find the 4.2.2 version for this ROM..
Thanks!

You can use the e988 ROMs on an e980 with no issues. As for the baseband, you might have to flash the BM9615a baseband, or suffer from no deep sleep

Again I'm new to the device so don't know everything and all variants in one forum is very confusing. I guess when you don't have a working recovery or wanna go back to 100% stock

Use this recovery, here. Been using it since it's release and have had no flashing problems.
https://db.tt/bQeSgkEJ
Flash it in whatever recovery you're using then reboot into recovery and you're good to go.

I know with the optimus g, there are kitkat recovery and prior to kitkat recovery (excuse my lack of fancy terms)... Kitkat ones can't flash 4.3 and below roms, non-kitkat recoveries can't flash kitkat. Is it the same situation with G Pro ?

I read that Loki is a locked bootloader bypass. Now with freegee capable of unlocking bootloader do regular users still need Loki recoveries ?

Hate to ask but Can we have one for the d803 and i will test it. Its been released a few days ago

If we flash this, does it allow for OTA updates from LG (if/when there are some) or does this 'disqualify' the ROM? Just interested in seeing stock again some day, I get lots of different wants, side effect from the mass dosage of pain meds for severe chronic pain hah.
Thanks for any questions answered.

You will get OTA BUT since you would be rooted with custom recovery it will bootloop. I suggest flash and wait. Xda will surely have someone posting any updates. I will make flash able zip rhen which you can use later

@rastigo thanks for this ROM!
Just wanted to report that the process works flawlessly with CWM custom recovery, too; I had it installed because was using Cloudyfa's ROM before.
I like this because is more stock-perfect than others.
Cheers!

Since this ROM have recovery, if we want go back to JB, can it be by flashing nandroid backup via recovery or should flash kdz file?

No you would be required to flash Know unless you have jb baseband
