Flashing Stuff

Hi guys,
the noob strikes again! :silly:
Well I want to flash stuff but I have some doubt on how to do it. For example on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219250, theres three choices of download, Recovery tar, Recovery zip CWM and Recovery image. So does it mean I can flash it on whatever way I want?
Same happens in the Perseus Kernel thread as there's a tar version and a CWM version.
Sorry for the noobness but I prefer to ask than to do something I'll regret!
Thanks in advance.

You've got 3 options because we've got 3 most popular methods of flashing:
1. Odin - uses .tar files to flash
2. Mobile Odin Pro - can use .img files
3. Custom Recovery - CWM .zip files

FLashing stuff:::
Hey guys,
another noob here
I want to know more about flashing.
For example_ flash the GAPPS on the Rom, and there's a new update of them, do i need to delete the old GAPSS and THEN install the new version?
Or i just flash it over the older version. I don't know how this works. Can somebody get me a link about it or explain ?
thanks very much..... CHeers from Portugal .

You don't need to delete the old gapps, just flash the new over the old. Just make sure they are the right gapps. Usually the dev has a link in his thread.

Why use ROM manager ? Use a safe method. Flash ! Or universal kernel flasher!

did you flash CWM?¿
ROOT + CWM 5.0.2.6. FIX
If so, yes you can try whatever custom rom you want, follow dev's instruction to install it correctly

don't worry, the link I posted contains the same files ,but I think this method is the simplest.
1º Getting root, flash this file via stock recovery (shutdown your phone and push HOME+POWER button until you can access to stock recovery mode)>>> select "apply update from SD card" and flash this file ROOT
Boot intro android and then shutdown again and go to stock recovery again (HOME+POWER button to access)
2º CWM recovery >>> select "apply update from SD card" flash this file CWM 5.0.2.6. FIX
Physical buttons
VOLUME+/- to move through recovery mode
HOME to acept install the select file
POWER to go back
DONE!

But IT'S COMPULSORY YOU USE CWM 5.0.2.6 FIX or CWM5 based to flash correctly whatever rom, so root your device and then flash the CWM I posted

C. Flashing the newest firmware:
Turn off your phone
Remove your SIM Card and SD Card
Extract previously downloaded firmware
Open ODIN 4.38 on your PC and change OPS file name to
Code:
Cooper_v1.0.ops
Select from extracted archive: OPS-OPS, Boot-APBOOT, Phone-MODEM, PDA-CODE, CSC-CSC (leave EFS and One Package empty)
If archive contains only <filename>.tar.md5 select it as PDA and OPS as OPS, leave other fields EMPTY
Connect your phone via USB into PC
When the screen is turned on hold POWER+VOLUME DOWN+HOME and wait until the phone enters the Download Mode
If ODIN detected and recognized your phone should light up the first square to the left side
Press "Start" button and wait, the process should take ~5 minutes
If all goes well your phone should reboot automatically
Square should change the color to blue and display "PASS" it means that flashing process was successful and we have the newest firmware
Disconnect your phone
Turn off your phone
Insert your SIM Card and SD Card again
Turn on your phone
Now you have the newest firmware!
You can find latest firmwares HERE, IMO Spanish FOP rom (KTM 2.3.6.) is the best, but can choose what you want

One more question as im new to this... sorry if its a bit simple
i have CWM and it seems to work fine for making a backup image. My S3 mini is rooted... reading posts about cyanomodgen guys seem to recommend using TWRP... I was under the impression they had a similar function?? Do I need to remove CWM and put in TWRP or just continue with CWM??

If you successfully installed CM11 with CWM there's no need to switch. It's just recommended because it fails installing kitkat roms for some people.
