[ST15i/SK17i/ST17i/WT19i]Sony ICS build 4.1.B.0.587 CWM flashable

[iONEx]

Supporting UNLOCKED bootloader only! :-/

So this is simply stock ICS build .587 without ANY mods, flashable in CWM
The only thing I did, is remove the humongous amount of what I think is bloatware.
But fear not, if you're really fond of those 68 apks (61MB), I've created a flashable package for you to flash 'em back

I did this in an attempt to make it easier for some guys who keep asking how to root ICS even though there are several guides on XDA
Also, it could maybe be used as a basis for ROM cooking/ building.


Need help with unlocked bootloader support!!
I have an unlocked bootloader (official way).
I re-locked it again just to test if this ROM would work on locked BL.
No luck. It flashes just fine on unlocked BL. And when I re-lock, it continues to boot fine (stock kernel).
But when I re-flash the ROM from inbuilt CWM, it gets stuck at sony logo -.-

I would really appreciate some help to make this work on unlocked bootloader!?

Anyway... it does work fine on unlocked BL!
So enjoy!

So please go say thanX to him for this!

This is great - is there any chance of doing this to the same build for the st15a rom? (They are different). Thx -

Link me to an ftf file and I'll do it.
It's not really that hard to do.

Then take just that out of the removed apps and push it to the phone..

I'm sorry about that problem, my bad...
I'm not really sure which app that is, try widgetonoff.apk
If not, just flash the removed_app zip file to return all apps. Then you can remove apps you don't want.
That's why I uploaded removed apps in the first place.

You need to flash an ICS kernel. everything works except FXP kernel.
