Use ROM Manager, or just boot into recovery and flash zip from SD card.

[Q] How to flash a rom

Im looking to flash the latest CM10.1 Nightlies Rom & PhilZ-cwm6 Kernel v3.99. Im currently on Stock 4.0.4 xxLRK rom.
I know I have to follow these steps:
Download xxx-signed.zip kernel matching your ROM
Put the previously downloaded xxx-signed.zip file on your external sd card
Boot into stock recovery (volume up+home+power)
Select "apply update from external storage".
Now select the xxx-signed.zip file you copied in previous step
You are rooted + new PhilZ-cwm6 kernel with CWM6
but My question is can I flash straight from stock (once wiped etc) to cm10.1 & Do I have to change the kernel once I flash to CM10.1? (if so which one)
Thanks in advance.

Yes you can flash straight from stock.. And no, cm10.1 have its own kernel and it will be flashed along with the rom

Will do, had a Sensation XE before, the process is slightly different but shouldn't be an issue.

How to flash modified stock rom?

Hey! I just got my Nook HD+ tablet today and I want to root it and enable unknown sources, I have been following leapinlar's thread for sometime and really appreciate his work! I am not really ready to flash to CM because of certain app stability issues i have heard (correct me if I am wrong) Thus, I thought stock is more stable and I can just use nova launcher with it. I don't really want to spend time trying to root it and I have seen he has a stock 2.1.1 file with root, unknown source, busybox, etc right? Will the bootloader be unlocked if I flash it? and how do I flash it? I have already downloaded the file and have a 32gb class 10 transcend card ready. Do I have to install CWM or can I use stock recovery to flash it? and do you have the instructions to flash CWM and replace stock recovery? Thanks!
To flash anything you need to make a bootable CWM SD per my instructions in my HD/HD+ CWM thread. You cannot flash things with stock recovery. Once you have made the CWM SD it is just as easy to flash the Universal Root rev3 zip and enable unknown sources zip as it is to flash the stock 2.1.1 rooted zip. Even with the full rooted version you still need to flash the enable unknown sources zip. And you end up exactly the same no matter which way you go.
All of the zips get flashed the same way with CWM, including the full stock zips and custom recovery for internal memory.

ROOT
Download CoCore kernel, unpack and use Universal Kernel flash (and es file explorer) to install it.
Copy CM 10.2 on SD and go to CWM and install it.
This is in short, look for threads of it and there is written too.

Help installing CM 10.2 by Team Canjica

Hi,
I own a Galaxy S Advance. It came with Gingerbread and then I updated it with Jelly Bean using Kies.
I have not installed any non samsung android OS on my phone.
By now reading the way I have written my post, you would have realized I dont know anything about cusotm rom's or rooting etc etc.
I am tired of the slowness of my phone. I want to give CM 10.2 a try. I have backed up all my data. I know there exists a way to revert to original Samsung OS incase I have any issues with the CM 10.2.
I dont know how to proceed to install CM 10.2 on my phone.
If some one can please guide me through the process I will be thankful.
Download ftom here: http://d-h.st/UVl
Then follow instructions from 1st post of cm10.2 thead. You have link in my sig.
Now i am not sure if it will work on stock recovery.

It will work without anything. Just with stock recovery. No need to root, CoCore.. Piece of cake.
But @kckinn if you want to use anything else, you will need to flash stock JB. You can't install any stock ROM or previous CM from CM10.2 (some partition is changed, so classic instalation or using backup will not work).

Your replies are very much appreciated.
However, due to lack of my technical knowledge I could not make complete sense.
Here is what I understand.
1. No need to root or install cocore kernel prior to installing CM 10.2.
2. I need to download and save the zip file and gapps zip folders on my external storage and perform the following, as mentioned in the CM 10.2 post:
"Reboot on Recovery
Wipe Data / Factory Reset
Select "Install the Zip from External Storage"
Choose CM zip file
Choose GApps zip file
Reboot to system"
Here are my questions:
1. When it says "external storage", does it mean I need to have a external SD card. Or can I use the inbuilt 16GB space which the phone comes with.
2. Where should I download it from ? I can download it either from goo. im where the file name is "cm-10.2-20131025-UNOFFICIAL-janice.zip"or the link provided by th3cr0w where the file name is "cm-10.2-20131118-UNOFFICIAL-janice.zip ". As per my understanding "cm-10.2-20131118-UNOFFICIAL-janice.zip" is the latest nightly. So can I use the latest nightly directly or do I need to first install first from "cm-10.2-20131025-UNOFFICIAL-janice.zip" ?
3. In the last line of your reply you mentioned "But @kckinn if you want to use anything else, you will need to flash stock JB. You can't install any stock ROM or previous CM from CM10.2 (some partition is changed, so classic instalation or using backup will not work).".
I could not understand what you meant. Do you mean to say I need to flash stock rom before trying to install CM 10.2 or do you mean to say I will have to flash stock rom incase I want to revert to samsung JB?
I actually dont know what is meant by 'flash'. I once updated to gingerbread on an old galaxy phone which came with froyo using ODIN. Is that what is called 'flashing"

1. External storage is SD card that you put in your phone, not internal storage.
2. Search CM10.2 thread for that cm-10.2-20131118-UNOFFICIAL-janice.zip, no need to install previous one.
3. That is if you want to go back to stock JB or any other ROM. Flashing = installing. Yeah, just like that, with Odin. (beware, do not use firmware for NON P version, you have P version as I see (16GB)). And you might need to change tee folder look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191628
I know it is pain in the... But nothing is easy in life.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I will try the process tomorrow after getting a SD card.
My phone is not the "P" version with NFC. Its the normal I 9070 but it came with 16GB.

Ok, than forget that tee thing.
I also would like to go over to CM10.2. Currently on CoCore 8.2, but I am a little confused if I can flash CM over that. I see in the above discussion that it's desirable, but in post #2 of the CoCore thread, it says that CoCore only works with stock firmware:
Quote:
Q: What firmware does this kernel support?
A: All ROM bases on stock firmwares,all stock firmwares.
So, I'm not sure if i should go back to stock 4.1.2 and root it or go ahead with CoCore installed.
And, I understand from the above discussion that 4.1.2 doesn't need to be rooted to install CM, but of course it does have to be rooted to install CWM (or CoCore), as well as to use Titanium Backup (that's how I restore my apps). Where do I find CWM for this ROM/this device if I have to remove CoCore?
One more thing, I have 23 toggles installed on top of CoCore. Will they go away or interfere with CM10.2?

installing cm will overwrite cocore with cm kernel....
just flash your CM...(make a nandroid backup first) and do a factory reset/wipe data...
