Saw many how to froyo to cm7 . But I think bootloader of 2.3.4 is different hence diff version of clockwork mod might be needed also I am not rooted .
So is it possible to install cm7 without rooting ???
Thx

Do you have CWM recovery?
Sent from my SGH-I897 using Tapatalk
Recovery versions and bootloaders DO NOT MATTER. cwm is baked into the kernel. bootloaders are backward compatible.

Flash this, then Flash CM7 after full wipe

Depends on what you want to do with your phone, if you are fine with running stock rom, don't change it as there is no need for it.
CWM is useful when you use custom roms (both for the flash process/wipes and backups/restore), stock recovery is useful for nothing at all in that case.
So, IOW, if you don't intend on using custom roms, stick with stock recovery, if you intend on using custom roms, get CWM.
Clockwork mod recovery lets you do things like wipe factory data reset, wipe cache, battery status etc.... and can also install roms from zip files. Stock recovery can't do that. Hope I helped Also clockwork mod only works if you are rooted first I belive.
Does this mean i need to use custom rom to get cmw? Can i use cmw in stock? I dont want to flash any custom rom yet but i need cmw to flash theme? Lol

You can flash CWM and use stock but i have no idea why you would, you can't use backup or restore and you'll have no use for it what so ever.
You never need to flash a theme, you install it via market or downloaded .apk, if it's a custom theme you need a theme manager and you'll download and install themes via that manager.
You do NOT need CWM for anything you are trying to do.

You can use cwm on stock.
However, the great function isn't working on stock.
It means, even if you use cwm on stock, it has no difference with original (stock) recovery.

If you are going to use CWM anyway, might as well use custom rom...

Hi! I have a question. I have the last cmw touch but i cannot do a nandroid backup of the stock rom (2.3.4) because it can't mount system and cache. It's really not possible to make a backup of the stock rom? I'm asking this because i did some modifications like removing preinstalled apps and things like this and a new flash of the rom is not the same for me...

Has been asked a couple of times already.. CWM cannot backup stock rom, only custom roms.. The only way to restore stock rom is Odin method..

hello,
How do I figure out what a custom recovery do i need to choose when i'm going to install a custom rom like 6.20.709.2
I just bought a captivate. I rooted and unlocked it ( now t- mobile) . When I go to rom manager to make a recovery it doesn't recognize my device. Only gives option for i9000, epic, fascinate. What do I need to do to make a backup/ recovery?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
Unfortunately there isn't an official clockworkmod recovery for the captivate. You'll need to either flash a kernel with cwm already embedded, or manually load up cwm on your SD card. What stock ROM are you on atm?
Sent from my AOKP icy-glitched Captivate via Tapatalk 2
Sorry you sorta wrong on some things. There isn't official CWM for GB or Froyo. But there is for Eclair. Sounds like he is on GB at the moment. You are correct about having to flash a kernel with CWM in it.
I stand corrected...but yes unless your still on eclair or restore back to eclair, there isn't an official cwm

Yea, I am on GB 2.3.5 baseband UCKK4. I also have a vibrant.I am really surprised at how different the two phones are. I would like to put a custom rom on the cappy. What rom would you suggest? Kernel?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
Suggesting ROMs ins't allow because you will most likely get arguing. Flash Corn Kernel and try out some custom stock ROMs if you don't know what you're doing. If you have an idea. I suggest ANY of the ICS ROMs
I would like a stable ICS rom. PM me with any suggestions.

Going through files in root browser I found a clockwork mod file. Also a zip vcremoveboot-CWM.zip. Not sure what it is? Ideas....

vcremoveboot is the revert zip for voltage control, in case you have unstable settings applied at boot.
Why does my recovery change to 6.0.1.4 Philz when i had 5v recovery before installing new custom rom. I installed Crash rom. On my galaxy S3 there is not such things as recovery change after installing new rom. Does S3 have separate recovery and galaxy Note not?
Recovery is part of the kernel, you must have flashed philz kernel to get root.

Tapatalking on my GT-N7000
Hey, im a noob so heres my problem, ive experimented alot on my p1000 and one thing that bothers me alot was the video playback which was either choppy or laggy on CM so ive always restocked it back to GB. I think the solution for this is to use another kernel other than CwM. IS there any other kernels that i could try, the ones that could result in very good hd playback once im on a custom rom?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda app-developers app
First kernel and CWM are two different things CWM is one of the recovery mode.
For HD videos... You can use CM 10 or 9 or give AOKP SGT7 a try.... They are much stable...
Sent from Android
Ok so kernel and cwm are different i get it, but could you tell me how to install the heimdall kernel on p1000 step by step? Ive read from somewhere that it could improve hd video playback. And ive already used cm 9 stable and there is no cm 10 stable yet before but the problem persisted. . .
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda app-developers app
Heimdall is a tool to flash ROM/kernel.
It is not a kernel. You read wrongly.
Find the same article and read again with the new understanding of what heimdall/kernel/cwm are, and see if you can make out what is that that was recommended.

Yes you're right, I kinda read wrong, the article said about the humberos, now that is a kernel right? I've installed it, and I realized that its a modified version of CwM but the real question is that do I have to keep using the firmware from humberos or could I use other custom roms like SGT7 aokp or Cyanogenmod?
It should be fine using it with other ROMs as long as both are from the same android version
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Humberos is the guy's nickname. His ROM and kernel may also be referred to as Humberos.
But he made kernels back from Gingerbread days.
So we better know which one you flash.
You can use his kernel, for example his JB kernel in, in cm10 and aokp jellybean.
you can use his ICS kernel in AOKP ICS, CM9, and so on.
For CM10.1 it is yet a different kernel.
And it is not just different cwm, the kernel itself is different.

Well ur explanation makes sense, I installed humberos and then humberos's cm 10.1 but the problem was with the camera so I decided to install aokp Sgt7 jb and then the aokp logo goes into boot loop. I then powered off, did the power + volume up and realised that I had installed the cyanogenmld cwm over the humberos. Now what to do?

That's because you installed 4.1.2 ROM with 4.2.1 kernel... It is better for you I'd you restock then update again... And please please please install the ROM with it's kernel because both of them are good AOKP or CM
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Actually from the description, installing aokp sgt7 jb after running cm10.1 should not be an issue as long as you do the 3 wipes (cache, data, dalvik-cache).
aokp sgt7 will replace the cm10.1. But nevertheless, if it is still looping, do the restock.
They are all using CWM 6.x nowadays, it doesn't really matter, but the kernel has to be for the right ROM.
BTW, too many people think cm10.1 is just a little update from cm10.
It is not. It is a completely new framework. Treat it as a different ROM.
So all I gotta do is restock back to GB, root GB, install the humberos cm 10 kernel from SD after wiping everything, and then install aokp Sgt 7 or cm 10 right?

ok well ive flashed the overcome kernel and then I flashed the overcome 4.1 aka the overcome experience and its actually quite fantastic. On my way to flash JB from CM. btw do I have to register the divx licenses? as well as other licenses?
ok im using overcome 4.1.0 and its fabulous. but before I go towards JB, can someone pls explain how to wipe the 3 caches using the overcome kernel, since its quite new to me? also when flashing to cm jb, do I have to clear the caches and then install from internal sd card? Is that how I upgrade it, not clean install it?
ok so I flashed aokp and the big problem is that it installs cwm over the overcome kernel and so the video problem still persists. Isnt there a way to remove the cwm recovery from the aokp rom?
You got it all wrong.
in P1000, recovery is included in the kernel.
Overcome kernel has cwm 5.0
Aokp kernel and cm kernel has cwm 6.0.
Wipe cache and wipe data are there in main menu of cwm.
Wipe dalvik cache is in Advanced menu.
You have overcome ROM 4.1, boot to cwm and flash aokp a few times until it is done, then flash gapps.
Reboot.
There is never a need to remove cwm. Where do you read such idea?

I didn't read it, I just thought about it. Anyhow, I flashed aokp a few times just like you said, and flashed gapps (obviously), but result is still the same. I'll post a video ASAP on the video playback performance that I'm still complaining about...
Video is a kernel/codec related problem.
It is not logical to link it to gapps or cwm.
