Flashing difference between Samsung and HTC?

Hi all, i'm currently with a HTC Desire and the procedure to flash a new ROM was first to flash a moded bootloader and a recovery from which you could just flash any .zip ROMs...
I'm not familiar with samsung, but I see that there is a tool called ODIN which you use to flash.
Can someone explain the difference? Will we always need a PC to flash a ROM or will be there a possibility to have a moded bootloader + recovery?
odin is to flash the .tar roms , mostly stock roms . In Galaxy s series if you have a hacked recovery like cwm 2/3 you can flash .zip roms also .
Diffrence 1%
We are doing the same but flashing the kernel + recovery with ODIN and then everything is the same
Also we are flashing ROM's with recovery, there is no need of PC, just to download the ROM's.
I'm not sure but, the bootloader is unlocked so, do we need to flash modded bootloader !?
Strange to me.

That makes sense!
Мерси, колега.
this is a question, should have been in the general section.... wrong thread. pls read the rules before posting buddy.... & try to keep this forum as clean as possible....
there is not even a single element of development in this new thread.... user has a doubt regarding different ways flashing of ROMs between different brands.....
pls dont repeat the same mistake.... search the forum carefully first, then you post in an appropriate section if you dont find anything what you are looking for....

[Q] Now or never, usb jig & custom recovery

Hi, becuse samsung is just about to release a exu 2.3.4 update that will disable the usb jig from working in resetting the counter, meaning if the thing breaks , you may not be able to get it fixed via waranty. So is it now or never to root, and flash custom roms onto the divice please? Also, I am confused about somthing with regards to custom recovery. If someone would help me, I would be really greatful. (I have tryed to search for the answeres, but didn't find what I needed )
-When You flash a custom rom using odin, how do you get clockwork mod?
-Also, can you install custom roms stock or asop through clockwork mod on the galaxy s2?
-Which is safer to flash with, odin or clockwork mod?
-Could anyone recomend a stock rom please, there are so many?
I know these are stupid questions, but If you could help me in any way, I always click the thanks button. Thanks

yes your choice to make until a workaround .
-When You flash a custom rom using odin, how do you get clockwork mod?
You dont get clockwork mod by flashing a custom rom .
Unless the rom contains CWM in its build .
CWM and Root is the normal method .
Root + CWM .

-Also, can you install custom roms
Yes if the rom instructions say so
stock
NO
or asop through clockwork mod on the galaxy s2?
|Take it you mean asop rom again yes if instructions say so .
-Which is safer to flash with, odin or clockwork mod?
Either but CWM is probably a bit more idiot proof .
-Could anyone recomend a stock rom please, there are so many?
Stock rom its usuall to flash the latest tested release which is KH3 .

[Q] Noob Question Plz Answer

you can backup/restore both stock/ custom roms, the default will restore the whole backup replcaing the existing one, you can make advanced restore to restore specific backup.
well i restore many times if iam not happy wiv the custum rom so yes u can restore back but hav a proper backup and don wipe the whole phone as the backup goes off sometimes.

Yea you can restore your stock rom any time with Cwm recovery. As long as you have cwm recovery in your new custom rom you can acess your backups. So be sure you flash cwm recovery on your custom rom btw most of rom's come with cwm so you don't have to worry if not you can flash cwm recovery from odin too. Just search on google about cwm touch
Hope it helped you.
Thanks me i my words are helpfull.
Thanks You All cuz im not happy with this rom i wanted to go back..thanks again

As far as my expereriance, after restoring a ROM form your backup it is always a good idea to wipe Cache and dalvik cache befor rebooting. (not the factory reset..that will wipe your applications this you do before restoring only)
how will you restore to stock via CWM if CWM is via a rooted kernel .
It will be a non stock kernel .

I think here everybody meant by "Stock" is the first ROM which was there in the phone..no matter its rooted with a custom kernel.....

But its not original and voids warranty if restored was my point .
Far easier to grab a download of the original rom .
OP did say stock rom and not custom rom so the answer is as always not via CWM its no longer a stock rom once rooted .

Help needed correct recovery !!

Hi all, ok ive rooted my GS3 and its running 4.1.2 , but my question is that im not sure its going into proper recovery mode as when i put it into recovery it doesnt look like the usual recovery screen !! ie im trying to install the Audio hack zip and flash it but it keeps failing everytime i try, can somebody please help me, also is it because it needs a diferent rom like Omega or something, hope to get some help soon, from
Brian
You need to install Custom Recovery first... (CWM or any other)
Rooting only doesn't include CWM...
Use Odin to flash it.
thankyou
Hi and thankyou for that, so when you say i have to install flash a custom recovery, do you mean i have to install a new rom like omega or something ? and yes i do have Odin.

Just go to original development and you will find a choice of 2 or 3, you can flash them in Odin/cwm/mobile Odin depending on their format so read instructions
