Wich CF root + CWM are the best for my S3 with Omega v31 Jellybean ?
You need to read a bit more. As you already have cwm you don't need to root again you just grab the zip file of your desired recovery in dev threads, and flash it.
The two most recent are cwm 6 touch version or twrp. It's a matter of personal taste, try both and choose.
Backups are specific and can't be restored from one to another.
Depends on what recovery you like,I prefer the old method that doesn't use blobs when making nandroid, however the blob method does save space, so choose which ever version suits your needs

Why not you try and flash a theme whether it works or not.

Hey guys.. i read a lot about rooting my S2..and found a method that doesnt require flashing an insecured kernel..so there wont be any risk of bricking the phone which i want to avoid in case anything goes wrong with CF root method. I am on ICS 4.03
Her is the method i want to use: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719
Now i have few confusions though.
1. Will this install the CWM too which the cf root method also installs automatically? if not, can i download it and install separately or something?
2. Secondly , i would like to install and try out few custom roms..so which is the best and easiest method for doing that without any risks?
Thanks for the reply in advance
Anyone reply plz..
i am really looking forward to root...but am a noob on rooting...SGS2 is my first phone..just wanted to confirm everything before rooting
thanks

Yep of course that's the Rahmat3 flashable rooting zip.. that's my favorite rooting method coz it's so easy by flash the zip file even on stock recovery mode without flashing insecure kernel (that's more complicated way.. )
I'll tell u what I've done at my gs2 & of course in my case (may happen different on urs but little possibility if u really have an int'l gs2 gt-i9100
1. Yes it'll automatically installs CWM but better u d/l latest cwm (e.g. cwm 5.5.4)..u can search it at the forum using search feature.
2. I strongly suggest to flash ICS Slim 4.2 then combine it with Fluxi Kernel v.3 b1 (read procedures carefully), u'll provide an 'early project butter' experience, balanced by safest bug issues & nice battery life..& also it's free to customize ur app w/out dare about RAM full by samsung's bloat coz it's just... yes Slim!
If those will help...please press thanks....

1. It's not automatically installs cwm, but u can d/l cwm from rahmat3 rooting thread

1)well i would suggest u to simply flash a CF-root Kernel from ODIN and that will automatically install CWM for u
link below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
2)the best way to flash a custom rom is to dwnld the zip file of that rom and follow the instruction in the OP of that rom thread to install the same
Please don't bump threads an hour after you start them. This is not your personal tech support forum :-/ Show some patience.
I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but I need to install only a recovery, because a custom rom brings ROOT. I'll use ODIN, where I can find recoverys in tar format, because the one I have, is the site of ClockworkMod and is in zip.
Thanks to all.

why do you need a recovery if you are not going to install custom roms. You already have the stock recovery to whatever you are going to do

Lol, you must know that CWM is integrated into the kernel, so if you need CWM you must install a custom kernel(insecure kernel) having CWM, and all custom kernels are made to enable rooting, trying to push CWM into stock kernel(secure kernel) is pretty dangerous and you might brick your phone, and stock has its on recovery mode which you can use. Anyway before performing any wipe or factory reset check whether if you have super brick bug if you are running ICS 4.0.4, and stupid question or not try including more details about your phone.

Ok.
Before anything thanks.
I want to install a CUSTOM ROM, like cyanogem, slim bean, etc. So your idea is install a kernel, but I can install recovery and then custom rom, right?
And this insecure kernel, can you give me the link to download?
Thanks.
P.S. - My SII have Gingerbread 2.3.5. original, I don't have touch in nothing.

The S3 has a separate recovery partition unlike the S2 so Kernel, ROM and recovery are completely unrelated.
soooo if i flash... bugger

You can flash what you want. There are several ROMs, recoveries and kernels.
Have a read of my "understanding the basics before rooting" thread as there is a lot of info in there that you need to read. It can be located if you follow the link in my signature to General > Sticky roll-up
well i have some knowledge but let's say i'll flash CF-Root by Chainfire this one includes root and cwm recovery (from here on i'll take care of my rom flashing) but is it compatible with my version? by doing this do I risk /efs folder corruption?

yes its compatible with your phone. nothing can go wrong if you follow the OP.
Or you can try this method also.
i personally prefer the former.
CF auto root is the most painless way to root, it changes almost nothing in the process. Then backup your efs folder before you do ANYTHING else.

By the way rooting with CF-Autoroot doesn't include a custom recovery anymore that's why you needed to flash a custom recovery separately.

Hello everyone, greeting from Turkey!
First of all im a newbie for android rooting and romming etc. I ve always used stock roms since ive got this phone. Now Im running a I9100 (int.) with stock Turkish 4.1.2 (XXLS8) on it and i ve rooted it via superuser.zip with my stock recovery.
What i want to do is to install CWM and want to flash a RELIABLE and Long Battery life rom. Are there anyways for me to install a CWM without using odin (via stock recovery). And can you please suggest me a good rom for daily usage. (i want to use vanilla android btw [just like nexus]).
Thank you for your helps.
I don't know much about roms/kernels for the international version, but you will need to flash a stock kernel with cwm and then just choose a rom from your development thread and follow the instructions, don't forget making backups and reading a lot, you can start from flashing cyanogenmod.

As i said i dont know about international version kernels, but it should have a tag like "stock kernel" or something like that if its for stock, just install it and you will have cwm, if its not stock it wont be installed anyway.

Then u can flash custom recoveries. U dun have to use cwm. U can use others like twrp, philz. Btw dun use the apps in play store to flash the recoveries. Google search "gt-i9300 (the custom recovery u wan)" and find it.

It's recommended you flash a custom recovery regardless if u want to flash some mods or roms. It always comes in handy and you have the option to backup the whole system and create an image file, so you'll be safe, if anything goes wrong with flashing someday or you screw your system, you can always recover it with the custom recovery. Pretty amazing

You need to flash it with ODIN on your pc. Also your custom recovery that you want to flash through ODIN needs to be a .tar file

Unfortunately, we are not allowed to recommend stuff here and advertise. Just look under android development and read the comments, I'm sure you'll fine a good one. Don't forget to backup your current system first and your data. When you're done, you can test out roms not worrying much about if they work or not

As ^^^meeklosh^^^ suggests:
"Best" or "Recommend" ROM/kernel posts are not allowed on XDA.
Please test these things for yourself.
This is the only way you will get an unbiased opinion,and then, you can decide for yourself if it meets YOUR needs.
Don't forget to make a nandroid before you start.
