I HAVEN'T ACTUALLY DONE THIS SO IT MIGHT NOT WORK. I'M ONLY TRYING TO HELP BUT TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK. ONLY DO THIS IF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH RECOVERIES AND FTF FILES AND CAN GET YOURSELF OUT OF A SOFT BRICK.
First you have to downgrade to a version that can be rooted such as .254 and root it. Once rooted, you install a recovery for locked bootloader. Then you convert the .201 FTF into a zip and flash it in the recovery, then flash SuperSU. At this point you lost the recovery so you must flash SuperSU before rebooting. Flashing SuperSU you should be rooted. Install the recovery again if you want, too.

You could also install a pre rooted rom

Which one you are using bro @mrjraider

None but if you look into the android development for the XSP you see them

Which pre rooted rom u r using bro..... @mrjraider
Sent from my A210 using Tapatalk

Or you can update to 205 and use TowelRoot

At the moment none because I am pretty happy with Towelroot..

Easiest way to root is to use towelroot apk.Get it from www.Towelroot.com

[NANDROID] v30b France Stock ROM

CAUTION: DO NOT USE THIS IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!!! I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE TO ANYTHING THAT MAY HAPPEN.
I'm sharing the Nandroid backup I got from the v30b Stock ROM of France posted by xonar here.
Whats included in this nandroid
1. Stock ROM - v 30b France (still odexed)
2. Stock Locked Boot Image / Kernel - v 30b France
3. Stock Recovery - v 30b France
4. Rooted - using Unlockroot
5. Added Online Nandroid Backup application - this can be used to backup your ROM even if you don't boot in Recovery.
To recover your NANDROID created by Online Nandroid Backup app, you must first install a custom recovery. To do this, flash any v20 with CWM Recovery using SFT.
How to use:
Use custom recovery, such as CWM Recovery, choose restore. And you are good to go.
CAUTION! - Using this Nandroid backup will overwrite your custom recovery with stock recovery.

I think i can tell you why... you all have a v20 bootloader after the flash, but to be able to use this ROM, you ll need v30b bootloader... you could extract it from the bin image, add it to the .zip, extract it to the proper partition on the phone and it should work.
BUT! Dont do it please. You risk to permanently brick your device...!

Not using SFT will not change your bootloader, as mentioned by nooby. Unless we can use another method.
@tantrums
"Not using SFT will not change your bootloader, as mentioned by nooby. Unless we can use another method."
This means if I install this zip file, I will still have CWm even if I instal this ICS zip so I will be able to use it for flashing ZIPs?

Cwm has got nothing to do with bootloader.

Yes you misundersrood, but a lot ppl did, there is no locked bootloader. The new ICS kernel seams to have a check in it, so eather use a different kernel or recompile the kernel without that check (I think that is what nooby did).
Correct me if I'm wrong, that is just what I think, but it works on my P970 so it might be right.

is your phone rooted??in the stock 4.1.2 german stock?
I think you should restart with PC Odin and the official stock JB.
This would result in a exactly described state of your device. Or give exact error messages for a specific step you did.

I have jz054k 4.1.2 german stock rom.I guess,the stock rom doesnt allow to install cwm6.zip (or ultimate v5.02)
I sent the cwm6.zip and ultimate v5.02.zip to external sdcard.when I was trying to install these, it says (with red title) " e-signature verification failed"
How can I solve this problem.If I root my phone, can I install the ultimate rom?

I edited my build.prop to get the update.
I created the FTF myself. You can use doomlord's rooting toolkit, by flashing older kernel and then rooting and then flashing new kernel again.

oh man.
Then I guess you need to flash the older ftf by checking all excludes except the kernel. Then root it and flash the newer ftf with every exclude checked except kernel.
I am not sure whether this will work 100% but it should. At max, you will have to re-flash the whole ftf again if anything goes wrong.
Let me know if you get success with that. I unlocked my BL the day I got the phone. So I can't test it for you

You've got several crap answers here. Downgrade to stock ROM, root it (flash root kernel with CWM recovery) and upgrade then to whatever you wish. Custom ROMs are using often different partition sizes for the /system so sometimes is indirect installing way better.
For going back to stock use the guide on the top of this post. Do the proceeding with the PIT file. Alternatively you can flash any 2.3.x ROM with baseband for your region and Semaphore kernel for that ROM. I prefer Froyo with SpeedMod as it is perfect to upgrade from.
