Do I have to root before? - Samsung Galaxy Mini

I am on Gingerbread 2.3.4 and I tried to instal custom rom 5 times ...It iwas not successfully.
Ask :
~Do I have to root my device to install custom rom? ?

No you need CWM recovery to install custom roms!! No root needed cause custom roms are pre rooted!!

Be sure that you read the instructions on installing a specific custom rom, sometimes, it needs to be rooted, but mostly, it doesn't need to be rooted. Yes, you need to have ClockWorkMod Recovery.

you must have S5570_Odin Multi Downloader v4.38.exe and Clockworkod Recovery
you can search in this forum

If you can get in to download mode, then you can use Odin or Hemidall. Most roms will root you automatically.
Not really. Not many roms are odin/heimdall. You need to root and install cwm to be able to install a custom rom

no you dont.
if you are on 3e recovery, then you just need to flash a kernel via ODIN that has CWM built in
CWM has nothing to do with root. on galaxy S devices it just creates an update.zip file
Rooting your stock ROM is actually not required to install a custom ROM, depending on which ROM you are installing. For some, all you would need to do is place the Clockworkmod update zip on you internal sd, along with the rom you want to install, then boot into CWM using 3-button combo, reinstall packages twice, install zip from sd and that should be it.
However, there are some details that you may encounter such as:
If you are on stock 2.2 you have to get around 3e recovery which wont allow you into CWM recovery without a hack. Or you can flash back to stock 2.1 to avoid this problem entirely (using ODIN3 1 click, if you know how)
This simple install is really for custom Froyo 2.2 ROMS, which looks like what you should be doing anyway if you have to ask this question.
Just READ as much as you can before you do anything.
If you simply dont like the idea of having root privileges you can remove root after installing a custom rom. I have done this for my friends in the past so they dont go do anything stupid on accident. There is a 1-click root/unroot app floating around the forums for the galaxy S that has worked for me on all 2.1/2.2 roms but never attempted with gingerbread as I use root and haven't flashed a friends phone in a while.

so you rooted it with smart flash tool?you don't need touch version of CWM.normally with the smart flash tool root method the phone will boot in recovery and then you just install the superuser.zip from your sd card.if you followed these steps then there will be the su app in your app drawer.if you are rooted you can always flash the zipped v20o by tantrums.here..

if there is the su app then just install rom manager from market, flash cwm recovery and then reboot into recovery and do full wipe.then you can install the zipaligned, deodexed version of v20o that i posted you above.

How can i uninstall cmw? because i installed it, but i dont need it( i downloaded from an link from youtube whit rooting and that package dont have root =)) but in title his name is rooting samsung galaxy ace 2.3.6) and now i cant root my phone. Anyone?
More information please...what do you mean by you installed cwm but now you cannot root? Usually cwm is installed after rooting...just leave cwm there...it's very useful for backups and custom rom flashing...or if you really hate it (why would you? Lol), just flash a stock rom via odin and reroot without cwm...
I think he installed CWM without rooting the phone now he cant root it with CWM

Hello Guys..I am Experia user,.now I want to learn about how to mod Galaxy mini.
questions :
~Have I change a kernel to upgrade or install custom rom ??
~which one of stable rom ?? based Cm7, Cm9 or Cm10 ??
~which rom will give me more free ram and perfomance ??
Any one would help me ??Thanks....
(sorry for my English )
first you will need to be on gingerbread
then you should install cwm recovery from Odin (no unlocking required)
then just choose your favourite rom and flash with cwmr

I search and get a thread that I can start to root and instal cwm on froyo ,is that right?
how about kernel and unlock bootloader ??do you mean the default kernel has support all custom rom ??
no need to root froyo just upgrade to gb with the help of Odin multi downloader
we have recovery.img so no need to change the kernel and in every rom its supported kernel is baked
so I must upgrade to official ginger then rooting and instal cwm ??
yes you will need to be on gingerbread either official or unofficial
and rooting is not required to install cwm recovery
and a big warning is do not use rom manager on this phone to install cwm, mobile will get brick

do you mean no need root to upgrade & mod this device??
yes no root for installing custom rom
as we are not flashing recovery from from manager and Odin do not require root
but if you want to be on stock and want to modify it then you will need root
Thanks for your time....nice to see this forum,God bless you !!!

please help me, clockworkmod problem ?

I've tried to restock my tab many times with teamovercome guide, and then I got CWM 3 but it can't flash any of my roms. It always say assert failed, get.prob .... (status 7)
I understand that the cause is from the old version of CWM, so I tried to flash AOKB Kanged Gummy kernel which has CWM recovery 6. in it. So the CWM 6 can flash my desired roms easily. But the problem keep happen again, after I flash that kernel and install my rom, the tab keep rebooting to the CWM recovery instead of OS.
So i tri to find other kernel which has CWM > 6 but none of that exist, I I'm really frustrated right now :crying: please someone help me. Thanks a lot
Dnt knw much about Samsung but if u had made a nandroid back up restore it from recovery ... Or try to flash the stock Rom for ur tab with stock kernal n stock firmware..

yup, could you give me the kernel or anything which has CMW 6, thanks a lot. I've been searching for that all day but nothing
Dud just download CWM 6 in install via ODIN again. Just search on this forum.

If you follow overcome method to the letter (from page 7 of the guide, skip the rooting and bootloader patach and backup, etc), I guarantee you a CWM that is good to install CM9, CM10, Sapir, AOKP, Paranoid, etc, etc, etc..
Been doing it for over 100 times if you count those done by those who asked and I replied to.
One thing to remember, when you flash CM10, it first upgrades your kernel/CWM to CWM 6.0
so it seems to reboot to CWM but it isn't
It is a normal bootloop.
You need to flash the ROM zip at least 3 times to get the process going progressively.
First round, CWM upgrade, second round, BML to MTD conversion, and 3rd round ROM install.
You just have to read the message on the screen when it scrolls, don't just assume you get a bootloops and meaning it doesn't do a thing.

No no, i read but my problem is when i follow your signature's link to the guide until I install the Overcome 7 4.1.0, but the recovery said that "can't open, ... the rom bad" so I try to flash custom rom like CM9, and it say assert failed (status 7) all the time I try to flash. The bootloop is not here
So i flash a kernel called "Kanged Gummy p1" which has CwM 6, this is when the bootloop problem occur. So I think my solution now is the new kernel which has Cwm 6

So are you sure this is compatible with GT-P1000, it's Galaxy Nexus.
Search : How to flash ClockworkMod Recovery for the Galaxy Tab P1000 via androidauthority
- You need to run on original stock & just flash back to orginal stock rom..
- You need to run Clockworkmod 5
P/S, why you play around custom ROM on unsupported device? daaa
You didn't follow correctly.
After GB stock safe v5, if you flash overcome kernel 4.0 tar via odin, then boot to cwm 5, and flash cm, impossible to get assert failure.

I don't know why, my GT-p1 may have been damaged lately or sth, I followed step to step that guide, then i boot to cwm 5 and flash this -> Overcome_7_Series_v4.1.0_NoWipe.zip Mediafire <-- but it say "can't open the .."directory of the file"... the rom is bad ..."
So I didn't follow it, I flash cm9.0.0 stable rls and get "assert failed ... status 7"
My tab may be different somehow cause I have tried many method but it get error unlike the instruction
So I think I just need cwm 6 kernel individually to flash, could you help me

maybe the overcome rom is bad, but i'm still able to flash cm9 it with cwm 6 via kernel called Kanged Gummy from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1747128 . But error and error occur again. U see, though I flash it successfully with Cwm 6. but i got cwm recovery bootloop too bad.
any update on this.
Using GT-P3100 via XDA Premium
CWM3 = chainfire kernel
CWM5 = voodoo kernel
CWM6 = AOSP and AOKP kernel thats mean CM9/10 and parandroid
Until now theres "no release" kernel with CWM6 for stock/custom rom but its easy for kernel dev like humberos to add that on stock kernel..
