If you know how to put a custom recovery on phone pm me
Put the .zip-file on your SD-card and flash it with CWM. If you want to flash a custom ROM then root your phone and make sure you have CWM installed. Do the same as mentioned above and flash it (above as in put the zip-file on your SDcard and flash it).
Remember to backup your current ROM in case something goes wrong (bootloop or something else) (Yes, you do back it up from CWM).

Hi!
I've succesfully rootet my SGS. testet wtih terminal, and i got the # sign.
Also, I have suoer users installed, and granted access to ROM manager, e.g.
Now, I would like to flash darky's custom ROM. And usually, i would boot into custom recovery menu and wipe, and apply zip from sd. (this was on my HTC).
Well, this is causing me some problems. I would rather not use Odin, as it seem a bit unsafe but I installed ROM manager, and flashed Clockwork Mod recovery. Now, when I reboot into custom recovery I get the stock android recovery, though ROM manager, says my current version of clowckwork mod is installed, and all went succesfull.
Now, my question is. Can i rename the zip file update.zip and flash with the stock android recovery anyway?
When you flash clockwork i think it just puts a .zip file on the sd card so youbshould try flashing the custom recovery through stock recovery. If not then ODIN is the way to go which can be perfectly safe if done properly.
*You have to select reinstall packages i think.

Thanks
I never get into clockwork mod, so I guess I dont get the option to reinstall packages... The only option I have beside wiping and reboot is to apply update.zip from sdcard in android recovery. But I don't think there is any update.zip on my sdcard. not last i checked at least. Guess Ill have to go with Odin then :/
Usually the option to reinstall packages is on stock recovery. I might be wrong but odin is easy to do if you get the right firmware for your phone. Sorry i ciuldnt help more.

Thanks again. I get wiser by the hour
I think im on android recovery (3e) as I recall, perhaps they removed it
I was wandering. I found the clockworkmod.zip /recovery_update.zip on the sd-card. if I move this to root of sdcard and rename to update.zip, can I then flash it via android recovery with the "apply update.zip from sdcard" function, or is this not for the purpose?
That might work, you may aswell try butif not try looking at the url i posted and see if it helps. If not then im sorry for wasting your time :S

thanks, but i think Im caught in between... i cant choose reinstall packages, and I need to get back to stock kernel...
got download mode to work now, and think I know what to do from here. thanks for the link and response
Finally - reverted back to stock android recovery 2e and flash clockworkmod recovery.... but - a new problem... when in clockworkmod, i need to choose zip from sd card, when i go into this, and choose external sd, it says no files
what to do? the files are there, when I put in the sd card in the PC the files are there...
Not entirely sure but i think you're meant to put the .zip on the internal sd. If not then maybe the sd card is not fat32 format. This is only speculation :S

i am looking for the CWM topic which someone has made so after you have installed a new rom you flash the CWM file to re-install CWM. I am 100% sure there is one and that i read it, i just cannot find it anymore

How are you going to flash CWM if you don't have CWM?
I think you're looking for this or this
This thread is god http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2153167
You will find everything you need that are essentials for rooting, recoveries and roms etc. Direct link to CWM for locked BL is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2187363
It's a script you'll have to run from your PC. (Incase you were thinking it was a flashable zip)
EDIT: Looks like diego beat me to it lol

nope thats not it, you can do flash it becuase you have already booted into it eg. boot into cwm flash new rom then while you are still in CWM you reflash the file to keep it, other wise if you reboot out of it from installing a new rom you loose cwm

I'm forgetful and can't remember the procedure I used to install TWRP on my rooted Exhibit which had CWM at the time. I now need to install TWRP on my girlfriend's Exhibit, which is rooted with the stock root (no custom ROM, just rooted) and which already has CWM.
I will copy the TWRP file onto her external SD card. I will then boot into CWM recovery, and flash the TWRP zip file. After I do that, when I reboot the phone, how does the phone now which recovery I want to use? Does TWRP over-write or wipe out the CWM when you flash it? Must I make a selection for my default recovery choice?
I am a dummy and I should remember this stuff, since I already went through this on my phone.
By the way, I am installing AOIP on her phone. I have really liked it on mine, after trying Slimbean and Nexus4 and CM10 etc. Her tired old phone on the rooted stock ROM is giving her fits. So it is time for TWRP and AOIP.

Once you flash it it will overwrite cwm so it will be the only recovery. If you wanna go back to cwm just flash that over twrp.

When you flash a recovery zip it overwrites the recovery partition in your phone. You don't have to choose anything because it will stay TWRP until you flash a different recovery.

Hey guys,
I have s3 mini. I wanted to flash 4.4 Kitkat on my phone. I needed to use TWRP recovery for that. So I removed ClockworkMod & installed TWRP.
Now,the problem is I have my stock rom(4.1.2) backed up using rom manager in ClockworkMod.
I tried installing ClockworkMod recovery using TWRP, but still TWRP recovery appears.
Is there anyway I can get ClockworkMod Back?
Plsss Help me guys!

I think you need to use the same version of cwm that you used to take the backup. Example, if you did a backup with cwm 6.0.2.7 you only can restore it with cwm 6.0.2.7 not work with 6.0.2.8, I think, got it!?!

I did the backup with 6.0.2.7. When I backup it says md5 dispatch. I have another backup saved in my computer. I copied it into the phone but no recogonized by rom manager. Is there any other way?
I meant when i restore it says md5 dispatch.
Or delete the checksum file so it will skip that

hello,
try this:
1. CWM flashes with your back up when you reboot freezes at startup because it finds the data folder or another (can not remember which) I think.
2. Then reboot into recovery again
3. flash back your backup again.

I am not sure what you really mean but you can reflash stock rom with Odin3. Download the firmware at http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
I would suggest you before starting flashing please go to TWRP recovery and do advanced wipe. Don't wipe internal storage to prevent data loss and then only you start flashing the firmware with Odin3. Of course you have to enter download mode by holding power button + volume down + home button together.
Easiest way is to flash pure Stock ROM in zip file (with or without root) via custom recovery. Make sure that stock recovery isn´t in zip file.

mm were i get the Stock ROM ?
And what you mean " Make sure that stock recovery isn´t in zip file." you mean i must delete the zip file twrp that i have in my phone?
ROM you can get for example here. You need to have flashable zip file with ROM (can be easily made for example with Android Kitchen).

but that will loose the root.. i think
Yes, but if you don't lose custom recovery, you can easily flash root via recovery.
Other option, maybe more comfortable for you:
1. Flash pure stock ROM via Odin.
2. Flash custom recovery via Odin.
3. Flash root bibnary via custom recovery.
You need to download the rom from samobile.com then split it and flash via odin, then you need to install a recovery again and root it again

Abd the nandroid backup is on your sd card so install the recovery and you still have backup on it
