[Q] Custom Kernel but i can't flash custom rom - Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0

Hi. i have galaxy player 5.0 with stock rom 3.6 and custom kernel R14 from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1414565 . Also i have installed cwm . I want to flash it with custom rom, for ex. custom rom from remics team. So i have the zip in sd card, but when i try to install zip, device can't open it. What is the problem? My player is not rooted. Do i need it? Also i didn't find way to root my tablet as the files in this post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424358 do not exist! Please help me !

Did you try installing the zip through CWM?

Ok now my player is rooted too. Yes i try to install zip via cwm and i receive "bad" error message.

Try redownloading or a diff. ROM

You cannot compost CWM .

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.

As that's great I'll try it asap. This is what I want to see simple and direct, you even provide a link.thanks a bunch dude.

That was just too easy and here I was trying every other method. That thread should be pinned to the first page. Thanks everyone.

[HELP]

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.

help with basic rooting and flashing roms

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.
Cheers.

Just go to rommanager site to see the list of compatible devices
Or install rom manager in your device and try for yourself
There is no easiest thing or like that
Search if there is any cwm.zip for your device if available flash that
If not you have to wait until someone build a cwm for you or build yourself

There is another way to flash cwm and I think that it is the fastest way
First download Odin and flash cwm through it.

Samsung galaxy s2 recovery

Hey guys , when i try to flash the recovery from the stock recovery , using apply update from ex. Sd (update.zip) he doesn't overwrite the recovery! I followed all the steps from cwm, but it didn't helped . i wanted to flash cwm touch ( the last version) i have allredy rooted the phone using the same method , that worked
Greetings max

Recovery is baked into the kernel. If you flash a recovery separate from the kernel, it will only persist until the next reboot. If you want a specific version of CWM, you're going to need to run a kernel that has it if you want it permanently.
So replace the kernel? , can you give a link ?

Go read the kernel threads in the two development sections.
