[Q] Stock kernel ftf

Hi, i want to have my c6943 rooted and with cwm recovery. Currently i got this using doomlord kernel, but my digital tv isn't working. So, i want to flash a stock kernel, but i just have the stock ftf firmware. If i extract the ftf, get the meta-inf folder, the kernel.sin and the loader.sin and 7-zip in a .ftf file i can flash it without problem?
Or there is a more elaborated way to create a ftf flashable file?
Also, how can i get cwm recovery with stock firmware?
Don't want to flash stock firmware because i would lose root...
You can flash stock kernel by excluding everything in flashtool, and keeping ONLY kernel.

need cwm recovery for stock .283 fw please urgent

i was on .569 fw before and i try to update it to the latest fw which is .283 using pc companion. after i try to update it, it says update failed. it is because i rooted and unlocked my bootloader before.
so i relocked my bootloader and flash stock .569.ftf using flashtool. and try to update to .283 using pc companion again. it finally worked. i succesfully upgraded my phone to the latest fw .283.
but then i realised root is gone, and i cant access cwm reovery when phone boots and pressing volume down button over and over again.
so i guess my cwm recovery is gone too.
so since im on fresh stock .283 fw, i need someone to give me a cwm recovery for me to flash on fastboot mode using flashtool.
and can i root .283 just by flashing superuser.zip that i flashed on .269 to root .283?
thanks in advance. i need it urgent though.

You will need to flash .230 kernel then root using any method mentioned ( like towel root) then re-flash the .283 kernel. once you have root, you can flash NUT's recovery for your phone. you can not directly flash. you will need to use computer to run recovery batch file

U can flash stock rom... Then root it,install recovery and de odex it... Why u need pre rooted rom? if there is way to root it easily...
I know that but its difficult to get drivers everytime fot flashtool and its difficult to root latest firmware
Flashtool is for flashing unmodified stock firmware packages only in flashmode. You can't make modified FTF files.

Flash stock ftf for your z1 then restore TA partition... Be sure to be on stock rom and kernal before restoring TA.. Stock roms can be now downloaded from flashtool directly...:thumbup:
