Hello all..
Hats off to all those who were involved in nightlies. Great, great rom.
I recently flashed the latest jb nightlies from cwm 5.5.x.x and ics...and I was wondering...
Do I have the jb bootloader?
Why is cwm for ics still installed?
Will I brick it by flashing with cwm 5.x.x.x?
My device is still unlocked as well...
Thanks for the help.

Hey guys,
Since the JB firmware for US versions just popped up this morning, I wanted to give it a go but was wondering if I had to change the current tweaked build.prop back to the original or anything else before I flash. Since im running a custom rom, (the CM10 Nightlies) I just wanted to be sure. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Why don't you just flash stock ics first just to be safe? Worked for me
Transformer tf300 Jellybeaned
Just got my a700 today and enjoy immediately got a notification that the JB update was available. What I would like to know from some of the more knowledgeable members (and almost everyone is more knowledgeable than me) is should I go ahead and install the Acer JB update or should I root, unlock the bootloader and install a custom rom? I. have read that because Acer has not released a certain type of code, that with the stock JB update I will not be able. to root or unlock the bootloader.

I have flashed my a700 to Pawitp's latest CM10 Nightly build. the screen reaction is better than the stock one. And all the stock apps are removed. Nice!! But once my a700 suddenly rebooted, maybe the conflict of apps. All in all i will suggest flashing to the CM10. Sorry for my poor English.
Stock JB ROOT or CM10 ??
Hi,
sorry if I post here but I can't post in Android Development forum.
I could not resist JB OTA when I turned on for the first time my tablet
Now, can I root OTA firmware??!
I unlocked the bootloader and I tried flash CWM recovery, unlock work, but CWM didn't work :/
Can I now flash CM10? How? (back to ICS?)
Sorry for asking too many questions and my poor english
Thanks
Regards,
Lorenzo

Hey,
Your CWM doesn't work, as it's for the ICS Bootloader. They (Germans) have a CWM for JB, but.... due to issues in the past with some early CWM's, a lot are a little afraid to use it. I haven't seen a lot of problems on the German site, so maybe it is ok. I have it installed on my 701, but haven't had the need to use it yet.
As with root, wait another day or so, and my Mate Civato will finish the modded boot.img for the JB 700, so you guys won't have to do a mess of things.
Will be a simple root.

Thanks MD!
I can wait for a few more days
thank you very much for your work.
Keep me updated
Hey guys. Sorry if this has already been addressed somewhere around here, but I have a pretty specific question that I'd like answered. I recently rooted my TF300T and installed the latest TWRP recovery. I've flashed a couple of different stock-based roms (Energy and CleanROM) without any hiccups, but when I try to flash any roms that are 4.2.2 I get bootloops. Is there something that I need to be doing different since I'm coming from 4.2.1? I never dirty flash. Thanks in advance for any help!

Maybe a bit confusing but those particular 4.2.2 ROMs use the 4.1 bootloader and won't run if you have upgraded to 4.2.1 because of the new bootloader. That's the reason that I won't be upgrading anytime soon.
Yeah, it's for 10.4 bootloader. You hace luck that you haven't been bricked yet

Not confusing at all and perfectly answers my question! Not sure how I missed that, but I'm glad that my issue isn't just some big screw-up on my part. Hopefully they'll come up with some more ROMs based on the 4.2 bootloader soon! I finally took the plunge and rooted after debating on whether or not I wanted to for several months....got tired of the lag. Too bad I can't really take full advantage of having a custom ROM with an OC kernel as of yet. I gotta say though...I'm digging this Energy ROM. Sweet looks and pretty smooth as well.
I have Xperia J (ST26i). It's bootloader cannot be unlocked.
Is it possible to flash a ROM for Paranoid Android 3. I used PA 2 on my ZTE Blade and it was great.
Any ideas?
As an aside, does the locked bootloader really restict the flashing of ROMs?

most, if not all custom ROMs on this subforum are based on CM and use CM's kernel, and therefore it's ramdisk.So it's not possible.

I have a question regarding this. I'm not sure if I understood correctly but since we have a locked bootloader we cannot flash Kernels.
But if we find a ROM that doesn't need a custom Kernel to be flashed, can we do that?
And are there any Roms( besides the stock ones) that can be flashed without also flashing custom kernels?

If a ROM is based on stock, then it doesn't need a kernel to be flashed.
There are ROMs that don't require flashing kernels in order to work, there has been reports of CM9 and MIUI both on locked bootloaders, but just not for our devices.
hi,can someone port this rom by sandy7? :angel:
its miui for locked and unlocked bootloaders. that would be great if we got miui for our phones without unlocking bootloader
tnx in advance :fingers-crossed:
It won't ever happen. Reason being that it is CM10 based. CM10 is JB based and to run JB you have to be running a JB kernel. Miro can only run a ICS kernel without an unlocked bootloader. Sorry to tell you this.
