No claims, no nonsense, this is just a rom for people who want the latest stock rom with root and want a trusted source.

Nice to see another ROM, ty.

Thanks,

File is now uploaded and in the download section


EDIT

There seems to be a problem ATM. There are links to the mega site where the .zip is in the instructions, but I will try and reupload to the xda server again later tonight

You messed something mate.
You said - flash ROM via CWM but you provided ftf file so I guess there's no need for that step or?!
It would mean we should flash ROM two times, from CWM and from flashtool....?

Great idea, I really need stock, unchanged 257 firmware (rooted) but please, fix this or give us proper instructions.

Tnx

On PC download links are visible

Thanks for the replies and the interest.

1) There is a link to the download in the download section at the top of the project. See the screen shot. However the .zip file can also be found here

2) The instructions are correct. You have to flash the .zip in recovery and root it using the superSU .zip. Then before rebooting flash the 257 ftf to install the 257 kernel etc. You exclude system because you want to keep the rooted system you just flashed in recovery. The ftf has to be flashed in flashtool.

3) Anyone can flash the ftf from any region. If you want to keep your basedand etc, then just exclude system and baseband in flashtool. If you want to flash a FTF of your region though you can flash any FTF and just exclude system.

4) I am currently uploading a direct link to the rom in the download section.

Recovery for locked bootloaders is not included to rom? I have to install recovery again after flashing?

Yes. I have made this as stock as possible for people. I will start including more in the next release.
But you can download dual recovery from here and reinstall it

OK, I have put a link in the instructions and also in the post a few above this one.

I will work on the download section as well.

I will see what I can do if you send me a link to a FTF for the C6902.

Hi. This is based on a Vodafone ROM so will it have Voda stuff in it if I flash or will it be generic?

yes, but you will have rooted rom, so you can uninstall it.

I will provide a bloatfree rom soon, but ATM people are after a stock rom with root so that is what I have provided.

In a few days it will be deodexed, bloatware free, etc etc/..

Error

When I flashed it, I got a status 7 error of some sort, just after that, I re-flashed it and it worked perfectly fine until it came time to boot the phone, I followed the instructions given thoroughly multiple times and came out with the same error again and again.

strange, status 7 is to do with the updater script, but it worked fine for me. Also, what exactly happened when you came to reboot the phone?

Can I ask what version of recovery you have installed?

Oh, sorry about that, forgot to finish that part, I was basically stuck in a bootloop, but I was able to fix it. Here is the recovery I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2455959&page=9
