Hello? I was recently s-off, unlocked and using Adrenaline sense 6 lollipop rom.
Yesterday, I went back to stock 4.4.4 using the ruu file. I still have the s-off and unlocked.
Now my questions are..
1. Can I install custom recovery first then root by using supersu.zip file?
2. Or do I need to root first by weaksauce or something then get custom recovery?
You can go straight to installing a custom recovery. From there you can either flash the su binaries to achieve pure stock rooted rom or you could flash any one of the custom roms available which are pre-rooted.

Hi,
I was wondering if you had to be rooted to install a custom rom on my phone. Thanks
Rooted no. S-off or unlocked by HTCdev yes.
Once your either one of the above, you need to flash a custom recovery, then you can install roms and root.
my phone was originally on vodafone but today i switched to 3 i was wondering if i flash the 3 ruu to my phone will it come with all the correct settings and 3 boot logo etc? Thanks
I've got to sell my Sensation XE. I've done S-OFF, perm root, 4ext recovery, firmware update to install ICS by Android Revolution HD. Now I would like to delete perm root and install a stock rom, so the person that buy my phone can do OTA update without provlems. How can I achieve this? Thank you

stock recovery image file needed
Hi, needing a bit of help here to restore stock recovery on my Sensation so I can catch OTA ICS update from Three uk. Phone is rooted with revolutionary custom recovery. I need a copy of image file for my software version: 1.45.771.5 so I can use Android Recovery Manager.
All help greatly appreciated!!!!
Any stock recovery should do the job, it doesn't matter whether it's from a 3 ROM or not.
Can your not stick the OTA .zip on your SD card and flash it via the custom recovery, though? I've done that via CWM on a couple of other phones.
Thanks for the reply Rusty, unfortunately had no luck using both methods you suggest, must be doing something wrong
With all the new JB roms and custom kernels based of the JB OTA I want to give them a shot. I'm confused on what I need to do since I'm rooted with unlocked bootloader on ICS but running the Black Bean JB Rom. I read Ok need to go up date to JB bootloader and then flash custom JB recovery. Can someone point me in the right direction please.
Thanks!

It's really simple.
Download your asus jb firmware from their site.
Run voodoo ota keeper to keep root for later
Unzip it and flash the zip extracted in your custom recovery as you would with any custom Rom
Reboot
Install custom recovery again via fast boot or re-enable root from voodoonand use goo manager to install your recovery
There is also a flashable version of super user you can use to get root back as well.
I've successfully unlocked bootloader and installed a custom recovery how can I root my device in order to flash a custom rom?

You don't need root for flashing custom ROM
You just need unlocked bootloader which you already have done.
For rooting you can place supersu.zip file in phone memory & install that zip from recovery option
Hey guys, yesterday I rooted my phone using KingRoot and XZRecovery to flash Super SU and now I want to flash back the stock recovery again because I want install future system updates without problems.
How can I flash it again? (I have my bootloader locked)

There is no accessible stock recovery on Xperia phones, the actual recovery partition will still be there. Dual recovery is installed on the system partition.
If your bootloader is locked you will be able to OTA, but you will lose root. The best thing to do is flash a pre-rooted flashable zip in the dual recovery you have. As soon as there is an update you can make a new pre-rooted flashable zip using PRFCreator.
