Go here. Read the whole stuff and you would know how to do it.
Am a beginer in this awesome flashing world,so trying to understand the basics...
Recently I rooted my phone (I9100) and installed Philz touch based CWM but after flashing a custom ROM the CWM was changed to
non touch ,so my question is does a ROM installs its own CWM along with its kernel overwriting
the exisiting CWM on my phone?
Is there any way to keep the Philz touch based CWM after flashing the ROM
Hello and welcome.
Yes, it may be that each rom installs its own kernel along with CWM.
And yes, you can download the philz touch version from XDA and flash it using Recovery. Just search for it in the forum.

ok thanks a lot for your reply....
Yes each rom has its only recovery be it cwm or twrp and don't flash philz on a custom rom. Philz is for stock based roms only.
HI
I have Galaxy s2 with android 2.3.5. I want flash OMNI 4.4 rom on it..but before that I want to flash latest CWM recovery on my S2. And also my S2 doesn't have root access So the problem is
Can I flash latest CWM recovery when my S2 have android 2.3.5. ? or should I update official ICS from OTA before flash ?
(I'm planning to use ODIN to flash CWM)
thanks

Step 1 - flash CF kernel which is appropriate to ur baseband with Odin
Step 2- Flash cutom rom what ever u want
Step 3 - Flash Gapps..
Thats all :good:
You can flash CWM and then the custom ROM now itself, without upgrading to ICS. Just make sure you flash the correct rooted kernel for your baseband version. Don't directly flash any CWM or use ROM manager. Good luck!

My details
Baseband version - I9100BUKI1
Kernal Version - 2.6.35.7-I9100BUKJ3-CL647431 [email protected]#2
Build number - GINGERBREAD.BUKJ3
So can anyone give me correct CWM recovery to my S2 ? (I just want to flash kitkat rom.. )
And you can't search for this why exactly ? You've been here more than long enough to know how things work.
Flash Gustavo's kernel first and then follow instructions on the omni thread for flashing as a first time user.
Search around and you will find everything here itself.
I'd suggest flashing the latest stock rom via Odin, ms1 I believe. Then flash philz kernel. Then boot into recovery, (while your new rom cwm zips are on your SD card) format system, preload, data and cache. Then flash the omni rom zip, and the correct gapps, and any other mods you would like.

I have a GS2 I9100XWLSW, suffering the EMMC brick bug. Still with stock kernel and recovery. Rooted with Framaroot.
First of all I'd want to flash a recovery, and a safe kernel - to avoid any possibile brick bug.
Later on I plan to flash Cyanogen or Omnirom, once a Lollipop stable versions is out.
Looking around I've found many ways to do this, but I'm unsure which one is safes (and possibly easier too):
- Installing Philz through Odin? Surely the kernel is safe, but CWM is and old version, not supporting KitKat ROM, right? Would I then need to flash an updated CWM + Kernel once I update to Lollipop? How?
- Using Clockwork mod install app to install a CWM? Can I install last CWM and still run on JB? But what about the unsafe, still not patched, stock kernel? Would still need to later update with a new Kernel for Lollipop? How?
- Others?
In particular, there's something concerning my GS2 that I didn't fully understand.. seems like differently from other phones, CWM needs to be installed together with a specific Kernel to work. Is this something true only for Philz's version, or is it so for CWM itself?

Sincw you are on stock jelly bean rom, use apolo kernel 4.14 as it uses TWRP which supports most zips and doesnt have to be updated that often. Lollipop roms only require cwm versions 6.0.4.8+ or TWRP 2.7.1.0+. Usually i don't recommend using cwm manager to install cwm as the app installs an old version of cwm anyway and requires people to pay if they want the latest version.
If your cwm is out of date, you will need to update the kernel (not just the recovery).
Installing a newer cwm will not modify the kernel to make it unsafe.

Thank you! Ok, let's see if I got everything right:
- First I need to flash Apolo, but I can't find the 4.14 version. Do I still use Odin? Instructions are unclear. The official thread seems this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/development-derivatives/kernel-t2291756/post41742325
- By flashing Apolo 4.14 I should get a new kernel (EMMC safe) and TWRP (which version?)
- With the above, I can still run my stock JB 4.1.2, right?
Then, once I want to flash a Lollipo ROM:
- Do I need to update TWRP? Does this break my ability to run my current JB 4.1.2 ?
- Flashing the Lollipop ROM will overwrite the Apolo Kernel 4.14 with a suitable Lollipop kernel, right? Or am I forced to also flash a Lollipop kernel manually (either Apolo or anoter)?
Thank you in advance!

What I said before about apolo requires the usage of CWM. If you can, flash philz kernel (through odin)first then you can flash apolo 4.14 (TWRP) using cwm. All kernels for the s2 are safe from the emmc brickbug (just make sure you read the first post of the kernel threads). TWRP version should be 2.7.0.0, but it should work fine with all zip files.
When you flash a lollipop rom, you most likely will not have to update TWRP (unlikely as the source code for lollipop isn't going to change). You can still flash back stock JB from a backup with no problems. Yes, flashing lollipop will replace apolo with a compatible kernel.

All right, so, to recap, is this right?
- Flash Philz (of course the version for my kernel and JB) with Odin. This will also install CWM (an old version, not supporting KitKat and Lollipop)
- With the above, I can do a nandroid backup, which also includes Philz's kernel. Does it also include the recovery itself?
- Flash Apolo 4.14 through CWM. This will change both the Philz Kernel and the CWM recovery with Apolo Kernel and TWRP. Jelly Bean will still run, right?
- From this TWRP, I can flash and run both the current JB and future Lollipop without changing recovery, right?

Thank you very much! Also found the Apolo version you were talking about. BTW, the reason I have to pass through Philz to flash Apolo is just because that Apolo version is available in .zip format only, right? Because if there was a .tar, I could just flash the stock rom with Apolo through Odin, without going through Philz first, right?

Wow, you sound like you have flashed custom roms before. You are correct again.

Never before, but being a software developer I get these things not too hardly. Also, I'm really reading a LOT of guides everywhere to avoid doing a mess! :laugh:

I finally did all of the above, and I can confirm that everything worked perfectly. I just skipped during the Apolo flashing the clean script suggested, and just did Clean Cache + Dalvik Cache.
Now I have TWRP and Apolo v4.15.
Noticed however that TWRP is v2.6.3 , while you said that I would probably need 2.7.1.0+ to later flash Omnirom or CM12
Is it okay anyway, or do I need to flash a new one? Can I risk breaking something if I try to flash a new TWRP? I mean: may I end up flashing a TWRP not supported with my kernel / JB and get bootloops or something bad?

You will need to flash a newer recovery. If you use philz recovery, you can install all lollipop roms and kikat roms without a problem
Link to download latest philz recovery: https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/i9100/philz_touch_6.48.4-i9100.zip
Flash it with TWRP. Cheers.

That link is indeed philz's latest version for i9100 (also from size it seems with just the recover, and no kernel, right?), but does it still run on JB with Apolo kernel? On Philz's thread I read something about latest versions supporting only kitkat / lollipop. Does it mean I have to flash this Philz's update just before flashing Lollipop, or I can flash it already and running my JB + Apolo, without problems?
Also, I heard that Philz is no longer updating his recover (is it?), so if possible I would prefer to stick with TWRP.. if there is a TWRP version which suits my needs with my device, of course!
