Yo go to the rom thread that you want to install and follow the instructions posted .
Siyah is not a rom you need to read more otherwise you will brick your phone .
CWM found on Google .

Hey!
Go to HERE!
And how to go to recovery?
1)Shut down you phone.
2)Hold down POWER+HOME buttons together, until you screen blink once and then comes GALAXY ACE....(not just SAMSUNG logo). Now you can release the buttons.
Now you must see the RECOVERY menu. Use the steps, in that thread, what link I gave you.
ENJOY!
CHEERS!
I thought Froyo do not support ClockWorkMod 4.0.0.9 yet? Correct me if i'm wrong.

Yes, you're right, I should have checked first
Sorry I have another question. Do I need to unlock my phone in order to flash into KPH? As you can see from my first post my firmware region is not from Europe and the custom rom I wanted to flash requires me to flash KPH first before flashing their rom. And also if im using CWM v4 in KPH, do i need to flash back into v3 before flashing back froyo since froyo still doesn't support CWMv4?

Hey!
You mean UNLOCK or ROOTING. I think you mean ROOTING? If yes, then you dont need to ROOT, before FLASHING to KPH(with ODIN).
If you FLASH custom ROM, they are all ROOTED already for now!
And for second question: you not need to FLASH CWM3. It will be removed automatically, if you FLASH to KPH with ODIN!
CHEERS!

I mean unlocking because I heard that some people said that one need to unlock his/her phone before he/she can flash firmware of other region's. Base on your first answer, do you mean that flashing firmware and custom rom do not need root? Because I think I need to root before Flashing custom rom.( Anyway I have already rooted my phone.)

Hey!
You not need to ROOT, if you FLASH new FIRMWARE with ODIN(ROOT after FLASHING, because you LOSE you ROOT, if you FLASHING). And custom ROM-s not need to ROOT, they all ROOTED for now!

Custom ROM

Hello guys, i found the Android Revolution HD rom pretty awesome,it fits my style(stock, fast etc) but i don`t know how to flash it, i have Galaxy s3 i9300 International version Unbranded never locked on any carrier, firmware 4.1.2 i9300XXEMC2 stock kernel, my phone isn`t even rooted...i had a galaxy s1 and s2 before but im not so experienced with rooting the galaxy s3, in that ROM section how to install it tells me i need Custom Recovery, and now my questions are :
1. how i flash galaxy s3 i9300 ? i found chainfire method but i read that it doesn`t support custom recovery ... so what`s the method?
2. wich version i must flash ? what are the differences ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797334 the 25.0 or 35.5 version?
HEEEELP ! PLEASE
If you read both chainfires thread and the revolution thread properly then all is completely clear.....don't skim it....read them both PROPERLY ....if you can't be bothered to do this then the chances are you will brick your phone
I just read the revolution thread and found the answer within 1 minute
I know Chainfire thread is 100% clear
This site is not for this

You can use Odin to flash it directly.

Try reading the basics and understand what you are doing.
If you then get stuck then come and ask, but first try including some information.

I did and i researched it...
What ROM are you trying to flash?
And how did you flash the ROM, using the recovery or ROM Manager? Other methods?
Some ROMs require that you install the latest recovery. I would suggest going for TWRP 2.6.3.1 custom recovery.

Looks like you don't even understand the very basics .
This whatever rom it is is not flashing probably due to a faulty download .
Dont use CWM see fraqs and guides .
Backup your EFS before you flash .
UNDERSTAND FIRST OR YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE .

yup you can always flash roms using CWM but make sure you make a backup using CWM and safely keep it on your computer and also follow the steps in the rom links which you can find in the S5830i android development section

Would you mind reading what he asked? It isn't possible to flash stock rom through CWM, unless you have a backup. OP, next time use the Q&A section for questions.
My bad bro i thot he asked if he could install any rom via CWM
