1. Flash 4EXT recovery via fastboot commands.
2. Enable "smartflash" (tools>smartflash)
3. Reboot and enjoy! :)

Look here for 4EXT: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20015407

By the way, if you're coming from a different version of android or from a sense ROM, then you must format all partitions from recovery before flashing the ROM.

Smartflash is a convenience.
You need to flash boot.img manually. This is an issue for 90% flashes. Just Google how to do it.

Happy to help.

You already have s off. No need for smartflash. Just format everything except sdcard and flash.

Also, it is possible to have locked bootloader and s off.

JAM THAT THANKS BUTTON.
