“fastboot flash boot S_DooMLoRD_AdvStkKernel_FW-200_v2.elf”……………… I tried this command and found it to be not executing…….. it showed some errors..

then i found it is written “v2″ in the command, so i changed it to be ” v1″ in accordance with the file name “S_DooMLoRD_AdvStkKernel_FW-200_v1.elf”…… then in some seconds the command window stoped running and stated “finished totel time:2.635s”……

my phone is XSl and it is running the first official JB update…. bootloader was unlocked….
