These are stock ICS Beta files, only the boot.img file has been replaced for ST18i-SE_Beta_StockKernel_4.1.C.0.7+CWM-boot.img (by szl.kiev) so we can acces CWM.

Are u serious?... You are flashing System partition image over Boot partition... Flashtool cant flash system img files.. it only flashes boot img...

Use ADB fastboot to flash system.img and userdata.img... google to know moew..

I've done it and now I have:
C:\Users\Soulee>fastboot flash boot boot.img
error: cannot load 'boot.img'

ok, I have gone back to GB. to recheck my steps in my first post,

and guess what? Everything works as it should if you follow the above steps
