Root the phone, and flash the ROM Via clockwork mod recovery

Do you already have root and a recovery?
If so, download, move to sdcard/, go to CWR, install .zip from sdcard, select the file, flash... after about a minute you can select reboot. It will then take about 5-10 minutes to convert your file system to EXT4 (no data lost).
What are you running? Why KA6? KB1 and KA7 are better in my opinion... KB1 was the best for me, not others.

No i have not rooted or recovery. Have no idea how to root or recover. Im running the stock KA6 build from samsung. But phone os slow and crashes after update. I just need step by step directions and i can follow those.

[Q] Extremely new and have a few questions

So I'm really new to custom ROMs and recoveries, and I have a few questions. I already flashed ClockworkMod, but if I want to get rid of it, is deleting the update.zip all I have to do? And if I were to make a backup and then flash a custom ROM, but decided to go back to my recovery, it would be exactly like it was before flashing the custom ROM, correct? I think that's about it, thanks for taking the time to read and answer.
First flash the correct kernel (2.1 or 2.2 ) of the one used for your backup. Then restore. Then delete update.zip
After that it will be how you had it

I think in this case doing you would also need to reset the phone and do a cache wipe as well then reboot and it would see as stock
So how would I get my hands on the stock kernel and flash it?

On the Vibrant Bible thread. Scroll down to Kernals.

So I haven't had access to a computer the past few days, but how would I flash the stock kernel from the Bible thread? Is it just in an update.zip?

From your phones browser download the kernel. Once in recovery locate the kernal on your INTERNAL sd card and flash it like you would a rom. Hope that helps

Look at the Vibrant Bible Thread. Scroll down to kernels and download the kernel of your choice.

Assuming you already have root just download the rom and place on the sdcard in NO folder then from clockwork app reboot into recovery and make sure to disable lagfix first if present then goto choose zip from sdcard and fine your rom then flash.

Ok thanks bro..ima do that as soon as i get home..so ill just have to put that file on my internal sd after downloading it?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
its a step by step tutorial. I've never used it personally, but it works. I just flashed a supercurio voodoo kernel w/ CWM & root via ODIN to get to the same process
Ok.. Thank you so much! This is my first time to upgrade my phone and im scared i might brick it...

I used the SuperOneClickRoot with no issues, just follow the direction to a "T" and you should be fine. It adds everything needed.

Can not flash a new rom

I flashed a rom on Saturday,some how I have a different clockworkmod, its purple saying eb production.well every time I try to flash its will tell me error on line 13,14or 17 on the install.flashed hundreds of times,never had this.please help.

I think that recovery is from Eugene's dead horse kernel. You can post it in dead horse thread. BTW you have to put the rom on external sd to flash with that kernel.
Thanks man.will try that.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Well I moved the rom to ex sd.still no go.can I change the kernel and if yes how do I do that.I can't use a computer has to be done on the phone.please help.thanks

Download SGS Kernel flasher from the market. Also, download whatever kernel you want to flash and just select it thru the app I just mentioned.
Thanks will try

well i did do that,well it is bad.what do i do next or is it over.i never odin before.but at this point i will try.i need help.
Don't worry mate. Just download odin and stock jfd rom and you will be back up and running in 10 minutes.
Check out this thread..

Why not do this? The OP wanted to change kernels without a computer. The kernel flasher does just that.
Besides, Odin should be baseline knowledge if you are going to play around with the Vibrant.
P.S.- I forgot to quote Duboi
Thanks all, I odin back to stock.all is well.

Flash rom on stock 2.2

I have stock 2.2. Can I flash a rom to it and how?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
You can do a couple of things...to have it work with 2.2.
-Odin a Voodoo integrated kernel
-Odin CWM(not sure about this)
OR
-Odin Back to stock JFD--then flash CWM via Rom Manager
You have to Odin whichever way I guess.

Just go to the developement section of this forum and click on the tab that says "stickies".....every thing you need to know is right there. please, some research on your end will go a long ways
