[Q] Flashing CWM Recovery - can't see my phone model

Hello all! Hopefully, I put this thread in correct section. If not, please move it.
Anyway, here is my question.
I installed ROM Manager because I want to try some other ROMs on my SGS i9000 and when I want to flash the CWM Recovery, the only option I get is Google Nexus S. Is this normal? Should it show my model? Can there be any problems if I choose Google Nexus S option?

Thank you!

What ROM are you currently on ? if its a custom ROM you may have the Nexus Drivers, and that could be why it is only showing you that option.
there are many other ways of flashing a custom ROM so dont give up if ROM Manager starts acting up.
i personally prefer a flash with ODIN and all update Flashes through CWM

I recently upgraded from 2.2.1 to 2.3.3. Here you can see more info:
As far as i know, this is not a custom ROM, just leaked one. Or am I wrong? I upgraded it with ODIN too and it wasn't hard, I just think it would be even easier, if i didn't have to use the computer and could download ROMs directly on the phone.

[q] firmware mystery!

Can anyone tell me what update this is for my Galaxy S?

will i need to root my device before i flash a custom rom?

not really, most customs roms now root the phone as part of the installation.
although you may need root, to get CWM / 2e Recovery unless you flash thru odin

thanks! i think i might flash darky's

you can do that via odin, and darkys wil root for you so all good.

the guide should help me through

Save you posting help rom broke my phone .
Fix is flash via Odin stock Froyo with pit 512 and repartition checked .

[Q] Kernel flashing through Odin fails

Everytime I try to flash a kernel it fails leaving me with the BSOD yet flashing a full ROM works fine. Ive tried the latest Speedmod and Semaphore kernels so far. Im not loosing download mode which is good but it is getting kind of annoying now as I cant get CWM on my phone.
Any Ideas?
Cheers

Have you tried sgs kernel flasher for flashing kernels?

I havn't. The point is that its always worked up untill today and I'd like an idea of why its not working now. BTW chainfires kernel wont flash either.
Im using EZBase Odin. Flashing Roms work its just kernels on thier own that fails.

Post screen shot of odin just before you hit start please

[Q] Basics of flashing and wiping...

Hey people,
Could Someone please help a Slightly confused Note user....
I am currently running the German version of ICS and rooted with cf-root (see here)

I came from Stock GB.
Im used to flashing and wiping with CWM to my hearts content on previous Android devices and have never had a problem. But I am slightly confused to what I can or shouldn't do with CWM so I don't brick my Note.
Is there a safer kernel I should flash that will keep root access?
Can I do a full wipe in CWM prior to flashing other roms? (Im looking at trying out CM9 and a couple of AOKP roms and also a couple of Stock based roms, not Chinese leaked)
I know im probably going to get shot down for asking this and told to search - which i have done and which has just added to my confusion. Im just after a little clarification from the helpful souls here at XDA...

Cant really understand what you have done. I recommend you to restock to stable 2.3.3 using odin orheimdall via download mode.

this what happens whenever i reboot or access CWM..

Did you ever find a solution for this? I'm stuck at the exact same place.

Obviously he patched the GB bootloader with froyo patch.
Many people got this, ignoring the fact that the patch is not for GB.
