[Q] I have a SGS on UK Orange

...
I want to Flash/Install different ROM on my phone but I don't have 3 button recovery... I also believe I will need to root it? Not sure if I've read correctly...
I'm guessing I first need to get the 3 button recovery working? Do I need to download something for this? Will I need to root the phone before this step, or afterwards?
Then do I use Odin (1.3) to install the new ROM?
I have downloaded the Android SDK (for adb), a fix file for the 3 Button recovery, Odin 1.3. Is there anything else I will need to carry out all of the above?
Very grateful for any help.

I have international I9000 and I used these instructions, they're in Russian, you can translate them with google
searching for the file that is mentioned there I could find this, which is the same
rooting is another thing, this one is for replacing bootloader
another manuals

Ok, so I've got the 3 button recovery working, rooted (not sure if this step is necessary?), unlocked... is there anything else before I flash a newer ROM to the handset? (of course, I will make sure I've backed up the phone too).
Also, if you could suggest a ROM for me to download. Would like the latest stable release of android (I'm guessing one of the variants of Froyo? Currently running Eclair).
Thanks.

Thanks for the tip!... Just trying to get clockworkmod recovery to load up on rebooting the handset... I have to rename update.zip on the internal sd card I believe??

Davey boy - make sure you can get into download mode before you go any further.

When holding volume down, home and power I get "Downloading... Do not turn off Target!!!" - That's right isn't it?
I still can't seem to be able to access the ClockworkMod Recovery though on rebooting the handset (after renaming the original update.zip on my internal SD card to aupdate.zip) - Any suggestions?

Update .
Is the name usually .

I ended up installing JV1 from samfirmware, but am wanting to downgrade it to a later Froyo build. Or a custom ROM... not sure yet.
How would I got about installing a "ROM Kitchen" ROM manually? I can't load ClockworkMod Recovery to install from SD card.
Edit: Just going to reinstall Eclair and install the ROM through CWM that way.

Hi small question someone might know how do you do a carrier firmware backup? Before you do the reflash?

Are you sure you're pressing the right combination?
Press volup + power + home
And release them when Samsung logo appears, or it will just reboot again

Yep, that was the combination I used. Managed to get it all running using the latter method.

[Q] Changing custom ROM to another

Hello! I recently flashed my GT-I9000 with Darkys. I now became more interested in ROMs like Cyanogenmod and MIUI. Could somebody please tell me how to change from custom rom to another? Is it different? How about lagfixes? Do i need to disable something? Step by step guide would be appreciated. Thanks!

Have you got lagfix enabled? If you have you should disable this first
The ROMs you are referring to have full install instructions. If you wanted to start from a stock ROM you can flash using Odin then start from scratch

Nice to see some other fin's
You are on 2.2 stock rom right?
(You may skip this if you've already done)
First, root your phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
Then, go to Market with your phone and install ROM Manager and flash ClockWorkMod trought it
(You can get to Clockworkmod by pressing Volume UP + MENU + Power On when phone is off)
(Start here)
Read this and flash the file in it trough CWM (=Clockworkmod). (install zip from sd-card>choose zip)
Before it do a nandroid backup with Clockworkmod.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1047924
After flashing it, (I suggest you to use the Cyanogenmod ROM, its much better than MIUI IMO) just see this guide and download Cyanogenmod and flash it trough CWM

Alright, thanks guys. I'm going to try not to brick my phone

I NEED to get Clockworkmod Recovery on my phone, but I can't seem to get it to work

I got my phone back just 3 days ago and figured i'd finally customize it. I FINALLY figured out a safe and full-proof way of rooting my samsung galaxy s i9000M. I FINALLY figured out that I need to switch the <3e> recovery to <2e> recovery so that I'm able to flash custom ROMs.
Here's the annoying part...
I STILL can't set up Clockworkmod recovery instead of the stock recovery menu. The tutorial I'm following specifies that I need this recovery in order to get everything workin.
I have the phone rooted and I have ROM manager installed too.
Won't someone tell me how to install it on my phone?
I've tried this website:
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-install-clockworkmod-recovery-3-using-rom-manager/
didn't work many times
thanks in advance!

gotta start somewhere

I should point out, it keeps saying "can't open /sdcard/update.zip"
(no such file or directory) if that helps

You mean you don't have recovery yet or you can't install any zip files?

You'll probably need to do it via Odin.
If you look at the guides here on XDA you'll see easily how to do this.
There are probably easier ways to do by now, but you can follow the more traditional method without much difficulty and not really with that many screw up chances.
Just grab a custom Kernel, like SpeedMod or so, for Odin installation.
Follow the steps that you'll see on the Odin guide to install just the Kernel. Once that is done the Recovery mode will be altered and you can start using CWM normally from there on (or until you install some other full ROM that replaces the kernel and recovers the official recovery mode).

I got it when i rooted my tab.
I think root access is required for cwm btw...

now i rooted by super1rootclick.
and now i can access recovery mode.
that's mean cwn is not require anymore ?

You can always access recovery mode.
The stock 3e recovery.
But you want custom recovery, ClockWorkMod recovery being the only one for tab.
Flashing cf-root kernel will give you cwm.
But staying on froyo is not so good, with some having protected boot loader.
Why not just find overcome rom in dev thread and flash it.
You won't regret.

Thanks a lot for that link priyana! Now got a nice guide with pictures
The overcome guide works like a charm, used it on my GT-P1000. It's now running the AOKP ICS 4.0.4 build #36 nice and smooth.
After completing the full overcome guide you can simply flash the AOKP build with cwm.

Download this file:
http://www.4shared.com/zip/g-uW6vGt/CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v33-CW.html
Also download odin v1.7 (google it). Boot your tab in download mode (turn off tab, then hold power button and volume down button simultaneously)
open odin and select the above mentioned file as pda
connect your tab to your pc
start flashing
you will get a rooted tab with cwm installed
please thank me if you found this useful

Basically you need to try flashing gb stock safe package from overcome using Odin.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

Hi Priyana,
Do you recommend I do the following but with gb stock safe ?
1) download overcome 4.0 kernel tar file and keep it in your PC
2) download aokp build 38 and gapps-ics from the link in aokp post. Put both on external SD card.
3) read the guide and jump to the part that guides you to flash overcome kernel.
Make sure Odin can see your tab and everything looks exactly like in the picture.
4) flash the overcome kernel and the tab will reboot. There will be a female robotic voice. Stimpz0r recommend no need to wait for finish. Just force power off the tab.
5) power up to recovery by pressing volume up and power button.
I find it a bit tricky sometimes, maybe the way I hold the button. But you will get there.
6) from cwm recovery, choose to install update from external SD card and browse to aokp zip file and install. Some message about checking bml/mtd and you see the tab reboot.
7) you may get a boot loop, it may not boot into recovery, or it may go direct back to recovery. If it does that it is normal.
First time coming from bml to mtd will do that.
Just flash aokp one more time.
You will notice the cwm is not the overcome one anymore. It looks similar but it is not. You will have to browse to internal SD card instead, because this recovery somehow calls your external SD as internal SD.
8) so flash aokp again, and when completed, flash gapps-ics
9) when completed just reboot and sit back and wait till it is done!

I see you came across my old post.
Yes, that should work. But download stimpz0r AOKP build 40.
The post was back when 38 was latest.
If the AOKP failed to flash, you need to go for entire gb stock safe though.
Go ahead try as per this AOKP install post and let me know if you have difficulty.

Great , I am out of the endless boots I was having and now have Gingerbread installed. Bit behind the times though my tab is functional and bit more snappy then the old Froyo. If you have any ideas on how to install Jellybean or any other roms you recommend for GT-P1000 I would really interested. Thanks again champion you have saved me alot of heartache.

Go for AOKP!
you have the instruction laid out here, nothing stopping you.
And if you are bored you can try cm10.
From now on the steps are the same.
Boot to cwm, wipe data, cache, and dalvik, and flash the rom and the gapps.
Please note gapps for ics is different from gapps for jb.
Btw, this is the many times I see cf-root way fails while overcome method works.
Thanks to team overcome we have such a reliable method to get cwm recovery.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda app-developers app

I have the rom and gapps from this link http://www.androidauthority.com/gal...-4-1-1-jelly-bean-cyanogenmod-10-cm10-106995/ but I don't think I have clockwork installed as my recovery looks stock. I'm not too sure on where to go from here asthus where I kind of got stuck last time.

You have the 9 steps I wrote.
From step 3 to 5,
At the end of step 5 you will have cwm.
Which one you didn't get?
The guide? I was referring to Overcome guide.
Jump here for the kernel and the guide:
Here is the kernel (tar format for Odin, zip isn't the one you want I guess)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27801159&postcount=8
and guide here
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B7k...EyNS00Yzg5LWE0MTktYmYyMjA1MThmYzQz/edit?pli=1
So, open the guide:
3) read the guide and jump to the part that guides you to flash overcome kernel.
Make sure Odin can see your tab and everything looks exactly like in the picture.
4) flash the overcome kernel and the tab will reboot. There will be a female robotic voice. Stimpz0r recommend no need to wait for finish. Just force power off the tab.
5) power up to recovery by pressing volume up and power button.

Thanks I will give that at a go now but reading through the guide I forgot to flash the modem file. Am I able to do this seperately?

Don't worry.
The modem was for non mtd.
Once you flash AOKP and the mtd conversion takes place, all partitions are wiped out.
On second flash the rom is installed and jpz modem is included.
It will be just a file in /radio/modem.bin in MTD rom.
If you need to replace the modem in the future, just unpack a modem package and use root explorer to copy and paste the new modem file to overwrite the one there and reboot.

Fantastic From Froyo To JB !
So let me get this right, If I want to change Rom in the future.
All I need to do now is boot up CWM Recovery then Flash Rom And Gapps and if anything goes wrong Flash GB Stock Safe through Odin in Download mode.
Can I ask which Rom you are using/prefer ?
This JellyBean Rom looks good but is not as responsive as GB also I'm having difficulty rotating in home screen.
Thankyou for all the information you have provided me.

You did see me mention AOKP many times, right? that is my favourite.
AOKP and CM9 are ICS.
CM10 and Paranoidandroid 1.99 are JB.
Btw,
don't forget to flash gapps.
Yes, most rom for ICS/JB here are MTD rom, so just do the wipes and flash from cwm.

[Q] S3 I9305 won't boot in custom recovery

Hi Guys,
I have s3 GT-I9305, android version 4.1.2, baseband version I9305XXBLL5. Australian model for Optus.
I successfully rooted and installed Philz_Touch_6.19.3 _ After that I could do Nandroid online backup and confirm it is rooted.
When I tried to flash custom ROM today - I found I can't boot in CWM/Philz recovery mode. Then I tried to different version of Philz/CWM and TWRP but none worked. It keeps booting in stock recovery mode- I get message as shown in attached image.
PS: I have USB diagnosis checked but haven't unlocked boot loader?

to be specific: my phone works fine - boots fine - It is just I want to load custom rom and it won't go to custom recovery and I can't load custom ROM.
Thanks.

HELP!
can anyone please help me out here!
I kept searching and found some solution but none worked.
I used triangle away. - didn't work
Installed custom recovery without checking auto reset and started after pulling battery out. - didn't work
It still boot in odin mode and I can't go to custom recovery

i have the same problem too when i got my phone flashed 3rd recovery last year,
the stock recovery can automaticly restore itself after reboot~
but i found the solution here in xda,just flash a zip to unlock the self-protection of the stock recovery~
i will tell you the link and the attachment several hours later after my work,if you cannt wait, you can search it here,maybe you can find it yourself.

even after you flash a custom recovery...your phone will automatically flash stock recovery every time it reboots...so that's why you will get into stock even if you flash CWM/TWRP or what you like.....

Done
Thanks guys.
Above solution didn't work for me but I got it working through rom manager App. I reboot to recovery through ROM Manager and it worked.
How ever After I installed Pacman rom, I couldn't use App as there were no Gapps and wouldn't boot to recovery. The workaround here was to press home, volume up and lock button simultaneously and release it after few second and it will go to custom recovery.
In the end, I am on Pacman Nightly 06/04/2014 with Philz touch recovery.
