Wanamlite 12.3 is already rooted, it uses speedmod kernel so what do you mean by "After root this ROM..... CWM recovery are gone?

Reboot your phone into recovery.
Hold down power button, you will see the option.
In recovery under back up and restore, you can restore it.

data partition have been corrupted?
Hello, I have an issue, i think my data partition have been corrupted base on my research so far. I'm just tracking back to how it all started.
I've been running this rom for about a week and i love it, it worked great until yesterday i decided to open a YouTube link via Chrome from my Facebook app. Chrome froze and eventually the screen went blank. I hold the power button to reset and it did, but got stuck at the S screen. I boot into recovery and re-flash the rom wanam 12.3. When i reboot it got stuck during the process of optimizing apps. I reboot and the same thing happen. I boot into recovery and did a wipe data/factory reset and it got stuck in the process. I did a battery pull. (here is where my memory doesn't quite remember the order of events) I attempted a restore of the rom and it failed after it had completed. I attempted restoring another rom but it had a mismatch md5 sum. I attempted restoring another rom S3 mod Rom and it got stuck during the process. By this time i'm only able to get to the boot screen. I flash stock XAKL1 with the pit file and that works for me.
My problem is that i can't boot into any rom unless i use a pit file, which leads me to the thought of my data partition being corrupted. I know the fix for this which is to flash a particular pit file which will create a new partition space at the cost of -2GB of internal space. I just want to make sure that my thoughts are correct before i do that.

1. Download Siyah kernel .tar Odin version here: www.gokhanmoral.com/
Siyah kernel comes with touch recovery, so you can simply do without any hardware button once you get to the recovery.
2. Download QUICK reboot here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.siriusapplications.quickboot&feature=search_result
-You will need the app once you have ROOT access to boot to recovery.
3. Download any custom ROM of your choice. Also read the flashing instructions
4. Flash Siyah kernel via Odin
5. Use quick boot to reboot your phone into CWM recovery
6. In CWM recovery,
- Backup your present ROM
- flash the Rom following the flashing instructions on the first post of the ROM's thread
- flash Siyah kernel again
- reboot phone
Done.
Notes:
1. The guide above will only work for GT I9100, I9100P, GT I9100T and GT I9100M
2. The tutorial will not work for GT I9100G

Hi, beloved developers
I recently try German version ICS 4.0.4 on my S2G. It works done but it wasn't write Arabic so I changed it to Pakistan version 4.0.4 as it read/write Arabic.
I don't wipe data from recovery mode, I just make factory reset before and after installing the "Official Rom" - as I don't try to flash a custom rom till now because I'm afraid from it - from the phone setting.
BUT, I read a topic which made me panic which was about emmc check. I downloaded the program from google play and run it and "Yes, Insane chip" appeared, Then I try XDA tool too and " danger" message appeared.
Now, I can't wipe data from recovery mode and can't flash a custom rom or any thing from RM or what (Safe or not?).
Please, What's the solution?
I want to flash a kernel what is the appropriate kernel to my phone, and Is it break my warranty or not?
Root or unroot my phone? your opinion please?

Thanks .
But what about the first part of the question about insane chip
You don't need to worry about the insane chip if you're completely stock. Wiping/factory reset won't trigger the bug. If you flash a custom kernel, make sure that it has that bug disabled.

Thank you

Can I wipe/factory reset from recovery mode without problems?
If I flash an official rom there is no problem?
What about custom rom?
What will happen if i root my device with this bug? (by the way if I root, I can unroot and phone warrenty is back?)
How can I disable this bug?

1. You can wipe / factory reset in Stock recovery only. You can also wipe your phone by going to Settings > Backup & Reset, instead of booting to Recovery. Nothing bad should happen
2. Yes there is no problem
3. If you want to flash custom ROM, it's better you flash a safe custom kernel first before messing with the phone
4. Nothing bad will happen if you root your device only. However, If you wipe, create or restore backup in CWM recovery while running the Stock 4.0.4 kernel, then your phone will be bricked!
If you want to unroot and claim warranty, it's much better to flash back the stock ROM.
5. The best way to avoid this bug is by doing one of the following.
a. If you want to stay on ICS 4.0.4 stock firmware, then don't use CWM recovery at all!
b. If you want to flash custom ROM or want to you use CWM recovery, then it's better you flash a safe custom kernel first
c. Downgrade to ICS 4.0.3 firmware

Thanks,
I'm sorry for my lots of questions.
- I understand that (CWM) is a custom recovery can be flashed by odin and it delete the original phone recovery mode and this CWM may brick my phone under android 4.0.4.
- I understand that if I wan't to flash a custom rom I should use CWM recovery and to use it I must flash custom kernel but official kernel is dangerous. then I can flash any custom rom and wipe data from CWM recovery.
- Is stock rom is any official rom? or where can I get it?
- I understand that the bug reason is from 4.0.4 kernel and if I downgrade to ICS 4.0.3 the bug will disappear.
- In my Case what is the appropriate kernel to avoid this bug. and appropriate root ?

1. Yes. There are temporary CWM recoveries too, which will not DELETE the stock recovery but overall, you are correct
2. Yes
3. I don't understand this question
4. Yes
5. Read my comprehensive answer below.
After going through All the kernels available for your phone (GT I9100G), these are my conclusions and recommendations
1. All custom kernels available for your phone are not fully compatible with ICS 4.0.4.
If you flash any custom kernel,
- Your phone may/may not boot
-Your bluetooth will not work!
-Only one custom kernel with the above bugs is safe for ICS 4.0.4
2. If you only want to ROOT your phone, visit this thread
Only method 2, is recommended for your phone. You will be safe if you don't wipe, create/restore backup in the temporary CWM recovery. Just follow the instructions
3. If you want to flash custom ROMs and kernels, then you have to first downgrade to ICS 4.0.3 firmware, then ROOT with any method in the link I provided in 2.

Thanks for your time
You in post # 6 told me if I want to re back my phone warranty I have to flash a stock rom. This stock rom is any official rom or what is it?
So I will re flash ICS 4.0.3 and root my device as you said then I can flash any custom rom to my phone based on any android version 4.0.4 or 4.1.1 with no problems.

i understand your question now.
If you want to totally unroot your device to claim warranty, then visit Sammobile website, download the original firmware for your country, then flash it. This will fully unroot your phone and make it ready for warranty claim.
If you want to unroot only, then you can just flash any stock firmware.
Note: ALWAYS had the rooting method that won't increase your binary counter! This one is very important for warranty claim in future.

"Always USE the rooting method that won't increase your binary counter"
Ok. I'll explain.
1. When you flash any file not signed by Samsung eg Custom kernel or ROM via Odin, it will increase you binary counter ( You will see this binary counter when you boot your device into download mode)
2. If you flash custom kernel/ROMs via CWM recovery, it will not increase the binary counter
3. This binary counter increases as you flash more custom kernels/ROMs via Odin to your phone.
4. When you take/send your phone to Samsung to claim warranty, the first thing the technician will try to check is the binary counter if possible.
5. On GT I9100, It is extremely very easy to reset this counter. with an app.
6. On your phone GT I9100G however, it is very hard to reset the binary counter. I know you can use the USB jig to reset it, but it may not work on new bootloaders which i guess you have already.
These are the reasons why I advised you to Root your phone with method 2 in that Rooting tutorial, which will not increase you binary counter.
Thank you, man
as Samsung till now don't update GT-I9100G with gelly bean. I decided to flash a custom rom
I downgrade as you advised me to ICS 4.0.3 KSA but I still have Insane chip
Now I must flash a CWM to flash the custom rom, It's safe to do this now as I will wipe data from it (CWM)
1-What is the appropriate CWM to my phone? and how can I flash it Via odin or Via Recovery mode?
2-I'm living in KSA which rom i choose [JB][4.2.1] CyanogenMod 10.1 official nightlies or [JB 4.1.2][PA2.55][AOKP-ML1][CM10]P.A.C True All in 1 ROM? as I need mobile to read and write arabic without any external applications.
3- I had a problem "my phone is always open but when some one try to call me it say mobile is closed" Is that from the rom cause of different modem in rom or how can i fix this (this problem not from the carrier as i try the sim in Nokia mobile and worked fine).
pls help?
i am little bit confused if i downgrade my i9100g from jb to ics or back to stock rom from custom rom should i flash the kernel for ics?pls help.thanks in advance.

If you need CWM recovery only for a special action, you can flash "injected" CWM temporarily.
Have a look here => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28178105 (Method 1 > Instruction 2).
If you need/want permanent CWM recovery, then you have to flash a kernel containing CWM recovery.
E.g. SiyahKernel, SpeedMod, etc. ... nearly all custom kernels have CWM recovery.
If you want a stock kernel with CWM recovery, then flash the corresponding CF-Root (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399&highlight=CF+Root) or PhilZ-CWM6 kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31310851) for your ROM.
Good luck !

I think this is a CWM recovery you can flash from stock recovery. Let me know if it helps.
