[Q] Query on Rooting

I was going through the [guide] root in development section. Wanted to know what is the difference between the recovery_menu_v1-2.0.0.2 image and CWM Recovery image and why cannot I use the CWM recovery to root device with stock rom.
Thanks

~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 !!!

Bootloader unlocking is the case of HTC phones. In Samsung phone, you don't've to worry about unlocking bootloader

easiest wayto restore gtn7000 that is locked in samsung screen via pc

My Galaxy Note wont boot after using cwm.zip & says entended comand notpresent, have still got access to both download & recoverymode.. Been given fewideas but never seem to work ???? i need laymens terms lol

which recovery do you have now ? stock or custom (cwm) ?
CWM.zip is unsafe, im suprised you found a download link for it, i thought they'd all been removed.
anyway, download philz kernel and flash it in stock recovery, or cwm recovery, this should fix you up, if not you may need to reflash stock firmware.
tell me your current rom / android version and ill find you the correct recovery to flash.

You need to post your current rom and kernel and details of what you're trying to flash.

cherrs that what ive bein doin thanks anyway

if your trying to root your phone and you still have stock recovery on it then it won't get root rights... install CWM with odin the install a custom rom... also you won't be able to backup a stock rom with a custom recovery so best thing to do is install CWM with odin (if your on stock its the only way) REBOOT then install a custom rom and you'll have root rights as all custom roms have superuser or superSU pre installed.

Or you could flash the update.zip file via CWM and then you get root access on stock Android if that's what you'd like

yeah you can do that, but as I said in my previous post, you can't backup stock rom with CWM recovery you can only backup stock rom with stock recovery so its a good idea to install a custom rom after you've installed CWM recovery, then do a nandroid backup BEFORE you start exploring the system files just in case you delete something by accident.

Its not necessary to use TWRP or CWM but its recommended because its better than stock recovery.. That's up to you whether you want to use it or not.. If you want to use either TWRP or CWM then download the appropriate CoCore E kernel because it has any one of them (depending on what version you downloaded)... You can refer the kernel's thread for instructions on how to install it..
Alternative you can use CWM with stock kernel too...
