Hello guys, I really want to flash my Galaxy 5 so i can use custom themes and run Gingerbread, but i am baffled by the vast amount of information ive read and to be perfectly honest i havent a clue what i am doing.
Ive read 3 tutorials (The huge flashing/official roms one, Clockwork Mod v4 one and how to flash and install CWM) but i am struggling. First of all I'm using Windows, i open ODIN and i put in the OPS file and i try to find the .tar file to install ClockworkMod but it isnt there, i have attached screenshots of the files i have from the things i have downloaded from the tutorials.
I just generally need a noob friendly tutorial that will help me to flash my Samsung Galaxy Europa 5 running stock Froyo, rooted with Universal Androot.
I will greatly appreciate every single reply that will help me to get Gingerbread and some awesome themes.
Thank you,
Curtis.

if someone can help me out that would be great i cant even do a software update im not sure what is going on.
All i need is something that is working :S
I someone can tell me step by step how to change the firmware to a working one that would be great and if someone has an anwser to putting on ICS that would also be great.
Do a factory reset in the first instance.
If you want to re-root your phone, CFRoot thread. Pay particular attention to the section that begins "Help ! Which file do I use ?" in bold red,
That will give you root & CWM. You can then flash any rom you want.
Hi, yesterday I tryed to update my Tablet S with all-in-one tool to ICS Italian ROM (I have an Italian Tablet S).
I'm stuck on adding root to decrypted rom: I have the attached message... I don't know what to do, i tryed to copy su file from xbin to bin folder: this made the process go further, but the mount problem still persists and in the end zip creation failed... Someone can help me? I'm on rooted HC 3.2

Hi raffounz,
I've an Italian tablet too (wifi +3g) and I rooted it successfully, follow the instructions here.
I don't know the reason of your error, but I can tell you it is not related to the Italian rom !

this is the 1st rom i use..
The flashing instructions are on the first page of the thread you linked to. If you need more detailed instructions that those (which are brief but absolutely clear/to the point), I'd question whether you should be flashing that rom at all (and probably any other custom rom).
i just don't know whether i need to root it to firmware XXLSJ or not..or i just can straight go to download mode and flash the .zip file from the page that I linked?
Right. I want you to copy & paste the first line after the heading Install Instructions from that thread in your next post.
My suggestion that you leave your phone stock & don't mess with it stands. Lest you end up like the person in my sig (I.E with a busted phone).
This is ridiculous It's getting worse each day here^^

Hi! First off, i'm sorry if this is the wrong sub i don't know where to post this.
My problem is that i'm new on flashing and i want to flash my phone but i am very confused at the moment. I've been researching what custom rom i should use and i from what i gathered is that i have to flash the original stock android first then flash the custom rom? This is what my phone settings looks like at the moment

. I'm running ICS and i want to update to Jellybean. Also, when i was researching i discovered something called cwm 6x and i don't know what's it for. I Dl'ed is as well just in case but now i'm stuck. I would like to learn from you guys on how to do it because i don't want to take a risk on bricking the phone cause i don't have any knowledge on flashing. Also, sorry for asking this question. This has probably asked before but the search engine for some reason is not working for me.
Edit: Also, i dl'ed the stock versions of this phone. It's the 4.1.2 version update. The custom rom i was planning to put on is this rom called EROM-E160K.[eRuiZhi.com].[Sdhjt.ORG].[J2] i dl'ed it from a thread here in xda.

You're almost there. You need to install busybox and safestrap 3.72 or 3.75. Then look for roms that are safestrap compatible and flash away. Make sure you read the OPs before flashing. Some roms require extra files to flash.
Awesome thanks man I'll look into it
