Morning, this is not possible yet as Paul over at modaco is yet to release CWM recovery so not ROM flashing is possible. He said it would be released in Beta form.today at sometime so wait and see what that brings to the table.... in the meantime head over to the 2x section at Modaco to keep up with the progress!

Hi, thanks for reply
Its a little bit strange it, because for example in other android device, like Galaxy S, you dont need a clockwork recovery to flash the stock original firmware, you need it only for to flash a cooked... you need only to put in download mode and after you can flash a stock firmware without clockwork recovery
Anyway again thanks for reply
Hi Guys,
Just updated to Note to the new ICS rom in the UK, wanted to add some of the S3 features I see around on the forum. But I'm running into difficulty with the E Signatures which I think form reading I need to install CWM so I can install the .zip's.
I read This thread about install CWM, however my Kernal ("LQ2") is not listed.
Is there a Kernel I can use to install CWM with or should I wait until it is listed on that thread?
Would appreciate any help. I do search and read before posting all the time (hence why I am quite quiet!) so I really do need help, not being lazy!
Thank you in advance.
There is an LQ2 kernel in chainfires thread in development section. Use that one.
Hi all, I wonder if you can help me at all. I have just been given a GT-I9000 which is locked with t-mobile and I would like to unlock it and then flash the ROM (but I will open another thread later for that). I have unlocked only one phone so far, my old gt-I5700 and I was wondering if anybody can let me know how to unlock this one. I had a look at the sticky threads but couldn't find anything about it. Ah this phone has android 2.1
thanks a lot
Ah sorry, I need to root into my phone first...sorry! Can anybody kindly point me to the location where I can get the file to root my phone? thanks

Root is easy to obtain on this device.
You could flash a pre- rooted stock rom with Odin or depending on your rom you could flash a kernel that gives you the ability to use cwm and then flash supersu.zip.
Take a look at the development forum or search for rooting in it. YouTube offers video guides to root your device.

Thanks. Sorry I am not an expert on this so I might need a bit more help. To root in the phone as you say I need Odin. WOuld any version of Odin be ok or should I get one that supports my phone?
About tutorial on youtube, fine I will have a look. For the zip file to become root, are you saying I can get it straight from odin?
Finally, the development forum: I can't find the one for my phone on xda, could you possibly point me there please?
thanks

This is the general section for the i9000, the international version of the galaxy s1. On the left upper side, about the thread name, are links, click on the i9000. It should direct you to the overview of all i9000& 9001 relevant sub forums.
There are two Odin version that work with this phone, they are mostly included in the Odin packages or kernels.
Zip files can be flashed in the cwm/ twrp recovery, Odin can't flash zip files.
Here are some sample guides: http://m.youtube.com/user/totallydubbedHD. There are a lot of more tutorials out there, but that's a user I would recommend you. Written tutorials are in the q&a are and the development forum.

Thanks I had a look at the videos you sent me. I have managed to root and unlock my sim card, so now I have to flash the rom. I had a look around in the gt-i9000 forum, found interesting posts, but I don't understand what ROM version I should get. Ideally I would like to have the latest bug free one. I seem to understand that there are stock roms and custom roms: not entirely sure what the difference is, but as long as I can get a stable (ideally the newest) version I am happy. I had a look around but couldn't find what I need...perhaps because I am not entirely sure myself what I need. Could I ask for some more help please?
thanks

There are modified stock roms, based on the official Samsung releases but with a moded theme and some tweaks, they are also called custom roms. The development section contains also pure AOSP roms, based on the android open source project with the AOSP look and speed without OEM content.
It's up to you what you choose, both versions can be stable. The AOSP is based on the latest google release, named jellybean 4.2.1. Samsung stopped the development at 2.3.6, named gingerbread.
Take a closer look at the rom threads and try to build your own opinion with the users feedback.

well actually to flash the rom you need to root your phone first...
Hi all
Hopefully I am posting this in the right place.
I am in the process of learning how to flash custom ROMs etc. My phone is currently rooted and I am thinking of installing CWM from ROM manager so that I can update to a newer Android version.
My understanding is that if I backup my stock ROM with CWM before I flash a custom ROM I can go back to my original ROM but the kernal / CWM recovery will remain
My main question is how do I "uninstall" CWM later if I wanted to return my phone to a stock warranty state. I believe that flashing a stock kernel will achieve this, however, I haven't been able to locate a procedure and the files specific to my phone's model (GT-N7000B, on 4.1.2).
Thanks in advance

Thanks for link. There seems to be a wealth of info there. Apologies for a silly question but may I ask what is the best way to navigate this thread since there are 280 odd pages. There is a guide at the beginning, but it appears to be the oldest post. Would it be better to work from the newer pages and work backwards (from page 280). I did a quick search in the thread but did not see much reference to the N7000B. Hopefully it is fully compatible with the guides and files for the N7000.
Thanks

The first posts are updated with any newer roms and procedures, all the info is at the beginning. Personally I read through the last 10 or so pages to familiarise myself with things to watch out for or avoid.
N7000B is compatible with N7000 roms and rooting.

That makes sense. Thanks for the info. That's very helpful.
Hi guys, I'm running stock ROM 4.1.2 rooted with stock recovery and want to flash KitKat on there. I've flashed custom ROMs and CWM before so this isn't that new really, but this phone has me baffled. I just can't seem to flash PhilZ Touch CWM6 on there. I've tried via stock recovery loading the .zip from there but comes up with an error, and I tried flashing from Odin3 too, but that also reports failed.
Also I'm using the official zip from PhilZ thread too.
Could someone shade some light here for me please? Thanks in advanced!
Wrong thread... Disregard.
KJ said:
Hi,
I see you've already posted this question in your device section. Asking in the Philz thread may be an idea too.
If you've read the stickies at the top of this section you'd understand XDA Assist is here to help members navigate the site, not for support. And you already knew where to post.
Thanks for understanding. Thread closed.

Sorry I did read after. I've now solved my problem and successfully installed PhilZ Touch. I got the link to the official download but the tutorial linked to the wrong version for my kernel.
This thread can now be closed
