If you are rooting to install custom rom and custom recovery.
Then go for installing custom recovery here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318750
and flash rom (in zip) from custom recovery.

ClockworkMod
CF-Root includes a custom version of CWM4. I always make custom versions, as the originals often do not take some Samsung specific things into account.
CF-Root/CWM4 is NOT compatible with ROM Manager! Manage/perform your backup/restores from CWM directly or using the CWM Manager application included with CF-Root
I'm sorry I don't know what you're saying. My phone is rooted already I only need to instal clockworkmod to install rom right? Please make it simple.

Make it simple if you root with CMW & Root you get Clockwork Mod thats the method most custom roms use .
Other methods not a clue .

Think jje might be saying keep it simple and use a kernel that has cwm. Chainfires cfroot kernels for instance.
Rom manager...why when you have cwm app already in cfroot.
Edit: like above post said. Cfroot is not compatible with Rom manager.
It's pretty simple.
Flash one of chainfires kernels with Odin. Now you have root and cwm accessible via up+home+power or cwm app.
Download the desired cwm installable package (eg Rom) to your internal sdcard.
Access cwm recovery mode like said above and follow the process EXACTLY as the instructions say in the thread where you downloaded the cwm installable package. Eg Rom
Hope this helps.

Ahh you're making a sense. I thought my tech language was bad do iv can't understand JJ. Anyway thanks guys I'll try the manual way.

THe thing I learned:
Never use ROM manager when using a ROM based on samsung firmware.
Use ROM manager when using AOSP ROM like CM7.
Here I am again guys, sorry to bother you with my quest to change rom.
OK, so I can't install cwm with Rom manager.
I've tried installing cwm using the cyanogenmod guide, with no success. It gave me this ''ERROR: Failed to access device. Libush error: -12"
At this point, I'm desperate to install any rom. So I tried to unroot then install a sercure kernel back in to update official firmware. Even that doesn't work. I can't install the secure kernel. I eneded up installing the insecure kernel just to get the phone to work. So please lead me to something that easy?
Install a CF-Root kernel via Odin.You get root and CWM all included so you can install ROMs and do whatever.Thats what people have been tryin to tell you.

Hello,
Apparently, upd_1.zip method doesn't work, and SuperOneClick 2.3.3 can't root stock 2.3.5.
How can I root my Ace?
What's the error you are getting?
Is it something like status 7?
I also encountered similar issue.
1st time stock ROM root is OK. After roll back from custom ROM to same stock ROM, I got this error!
Try to wipe cache, format etc .. It works for me!
yeh I had that problem for like 5 weeks trying to root my ace but it had no root access !
OK so download cf-root b3
and flash with cwm 4
then just flash a different rom !
that simple
now I have root and a custom from!!!

I'm not getting any error, I read about experiences with both these tools and I'm pretty sure they can't root the device with stock 2.3.5. firmware. I want to know if anyone had success in rooting 2.3.5. and what tools had been used.

I don't want to flash a new firmware or a new recovery. I just want to root my phone so that I can remove some pre-installed applications.

Stock 2.3.5 ? I rooted it using the upd_1.zip file. Worked for me. Try the file posted in 'ZIP file to root ace" in this section. It might help.

Updated my brand new galaxy two days ago. Had no problems and was locked to the three network.
Used stock recovery to flash cwm v4 and then used this to apply the root update zip.
I am now running nimms amazing cm 7.2 rom and have had no problems.

Done, thank you. Thread can be closed now.
So I'm rooting my friends phone for him and planning to install villianrom.
So far ive rooted via zerg exploit.. All went well, after I downloaded ROM manager and install clock work recovery for "Samsung galaxy S 2". Rebooted into recovery and it took me into stock Android recovery, which of course means clockwork didn't install..
I've been doing some reading and it seems tho ppl install the tweaked kernel with root and recovery pre applied.. If there no way around going that route? I mean the phone is already rooted, can't I install clockwork some other way.
Also if I dont have any choice and have to go through the flashing pre rooted clockwork kernel through Odin. Suppose I install a ROM with a custom speed kernel, will I loose root and clock work since it's pre applied to the stockish kernel I flashed from Odin?

No

Most roms have CWM anyway read the install instructions

Original = built from sources. i.e. CyanogenMod for an example of a ROM, or Siyah for a kernel.
Regular = derivative from something else, i.e. many ROMs out there are usually derived from stock, with themes and such.
Just apply cf root specific to your phone base and flash it in the PDA section of Odin, it will re root your phone with cwm recovery, then place the villain from or from of your choice in the root of your SD card and flash it with cwm, any problems let me know

Friend i need to know can all rom b flash without flashtool
Sent from my ST25i using xda app-developers app
If you're trying to flash a stock ROM, then you'll need flashtool. That's the only way. But, if you have CWM installed, then you could download ROMs like No Sh*t or Terrarom which is stock based but standalone [doesn't require install of stock ROM].
You can then install CM9 by flashing the kernel through fastboot and then installing it over NS or Terrarom.
hello all
i have a gs2 i9100
i rooted it folowing this guide short way (update from recovery)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1994544
it installs cwm recovery 4.0.1.5 and supersu.
i tried installing a cm10.1 nightly version for my model,it allways abort with staus 7.
i tried different nightly version,no success.
then i folowed the official cm guide:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_i9100
i flashed the zimage for cwm recovery via heimdall on linux,it went well then i booted into recovery to check and success.
i didnt want to flash cm at that point (middle of the day) so i rebooted the device and problem:
i could see the samssung boot logo with the yello triangle and then the screen goes black and..nothing.
for now i restored via recovery a backup i made on the older 4.0.1.5 recovery.
i also tried looking for a kernel that matches mine - jhls4 and couldnt find one nor a solution that solved the stsus 7 error.
what could be the problem?
That thread is so old now. More phone details. Firmware you have installed or had installed before you flashed cm? Model of i9100?
Phone model is gt-i9100
Im on stock tw jb 4.1.2
Never installed any other firmware just updated the official with kies.
I rooted it from the stock recovery-installed super user and recovery as update.
The rest is in my first post.
Appriciate your help.

Flash it with philz kernel for root and custom kernel cwm recovery that will let you do anything. Philz is the easy way to root and install cwm to your i9100.
When that's install do the wipes and reboot.
Thanx for your reply
Q: any phils kernel or one that matches mine- jhls2?
2nd Q: can i flash the kenel via recovery ? Or just heimdall?
And if i flash a kernel do i have to flash a rom immedietly or can i still use the stock rom?
Total noob at this.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Flash lss or lsw philz as its just the cwm that's updated in dif versions and yes this will work on your stock 4.1.2 no point in telling you to flash something that won't work on the ROM you have now then if you want to flash custom ROM you can do this from there. Either way is possible with philz . tar for Odin/hem and singed zip for stock recovery:thumbup: reading is the key to flashing well.
Thanx again
I read a lot and got a little confused.
Will do what u suggested.
Hope ill get it right this time.
