Whenever you install a custom ROM it is rooted automatically so those programs are not needed unless you aren't going to be installing a custom ROM

You have to be rooted first in order to install a custom ROM.
1. Root
2. Install CWM
3. Custom ROM

You don't need to be rooted to install CWM or a custom ROM.

Not Exactly

[Q] Is it necessary to flash custom recovery if using stock rom

Hi,
I'm running already Android 2.2.2 update 10E and I'm going to root my phone.
I want to use the same stock ROM.
Is it necessary that I need to flash custom recovery.
Please help & sorry for NooB question.
If you only want to root your phone there's no need to install custom recovery.

[Q]really root when I flash a kernel?

I have the stock kernel without root. And I buy my st15 since a week and I have a question because I'm confused.. When I flash a kernel that says " root and cwm" it mean that I have root permission to flash rooms? I don't need more?
Ahh.. Other question. With the rooted kernel in my phone I only need install the superuser to use apps that requires root access?
Excuse me for my bad English.. And thanks for your answers!
Since you are using stock kernel, u can use zergrush method to root.
but if u want to flash custom roms, u need to flash custom kernel. Almost all custom kernels are pre rooted and have clockwork mod. u need to unlock your bootloader to flash custom kernels.
the superuser app get installed by default when rooted.

ok. but my question is: I only need the bl unlocked and a kernel with cwm and root to flash a Rom? ( exactly the fxp cm9!)
You need to understand a couple of things about ROMs and Kernels.
Unlocked bootloader, lets your device get into "bootloader mode", giving you the privilege to install a custom made Kernel. Some kernels (most) come prerooted, which means that no matter what Rom you install, whether it is stock, or custom or whatnot.
Root gives you the ability to read, write, and execute apps and files that are in the /system folder.
Think of it as layers of a cake. Bootloader -> Kernel -> Rom -> Root

Not only /system folder, but everything else also, that is in / folder, that is the root folder. You get access to the root folder, folder before system.
thanks a lot! I go to do these steps with the fxp kernel for cm9!

You will need to install a custom recovery first such as Clockworkmod Recovery if it's available for your device, additionally you will need to make sure your devices bootloader is unlocked. To install a custom recovery you will need to either root your device or use fastboot to install it. Then if a custom ROM is available for your device you can flash it through a custom recovery. There is unfortunately no way to get around either using a computer and/or rooting your device. Let me know if you still have questions I'll be happy to help you out.

Installing ROM from MIUI 8 Global Beta

I am new to xda so apologies for simple question. I am currently running MIUI 8 Global Beta 6.7.21
Can I install a custom rom in place of this? If so what is the easiest method?
Thanks
Yes, you can install different ROM's. Search up WinDroid on XDA, download it, install TWRP 3 and pick out whichever ROM you prefer.

First, you need to root your phone, try King Root or installing the Chinese ROM which comes with built-in root, you can do this from the updater without needing root.
Then install Flashify from the play store and dowload TWRP recovery for Redmi Note 2 from this forum. Flash the recovery with the Flashify app, it's pretty straightforward.
Then you just need to download your custom ROM of choice and reboot to the recovery. Before flashing a custom ROM, backup is recommended. Just follow the instructions given in the ROM topic and you're good to go.
