[Q] Flashing normally with CWM?

Okay so I'm like a real noob that doesn't even know anything about programming and all those stuff.
So I'm interested in this so-called ICS ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1465401
which people say that it's just a theme and wanna install it on my Galaxy Ace.
In the thread he says :
" -Do a 3x wipe dalvik cache
-Flash normally through CWM "
I don't get what he's talking about, so I hope someone kind can explain it to me.
Sorry for this noob and easy question but I hope you can understand my condition as I'm new to everything. Please don't flame me =)
If u have root,put the Rom on your SD Card
Boot Into Recovery, there u can find a option to clear/wipe dalvik cache make this 3 times.
Afther that install the rom with the option install zip from Sdcard.
CWM means Clockworkmod - a Recovery System.
If its your first time to install a new Rom, read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034145

Check if you have downloaded the correct cm7 zip for ur device. And check if that file is broken or corrupted.

You had to change your kernel to make the cwm permanent. Use Hell Locks kernel.
If you get assert failed error you are trying to flash the file to the wrong device!!! Are you sure you have a S5830i and flashing the correct CM7 for our device? CM7 for S5830i
And be sure you have mounted System partition before flashing...
And if you format /system the ROM gives the getprop error. (If you did format /system too)

trouble flashing the rom
Hi, I have a problem.. I have tried to the fullest to follow the instructions for flashing the pardus rom for my galaxy s3, but when I enter the recovery mode, it does not display the options mentioned in the instuctions, there is no option for the nandroid backup and there is no option to 'open from a zip file' or whatever it was..
The options I do get are:
reboot system now
apply update from ADB
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
and I have tried all of them repeatedly but none of them worked in order to find the pardus zip file or anything so all I can do after wiping the phone is use the old factory reset data.. I dont know if my particular phone is special, but there must be some others having this same problem...?
Please help, I really want to try out the Pardus rom. Thanks
you still have the stock android recovery buddy! you need to flash the latest CWM recovery or either philz recovery to flash a custom rom!:thumbup:

Before you did the wipe data/factory reset did you happen to do a nano backup? If you didnt probably what you will have to do now is find the stock image and flash the stock rom back to it. There should be a thread about that for your phone.
no i didn t made it.CAN you pist the link of the tutorial?

Error Message: E:failed to verify whole-file-signature
Now what to do?

First cm11 is not lollipop, its kitkat. But if you want that rom its fine.
It sounds like you have an older recovery. Flash the newest recovery of cwm or philz, or whatever you prefer. Then reboot back into recovery. Also depending on what rom you are coming from you probably need to do a full wipe before you flash those files. Format system, data, wipe cache/dalvik. And I would recommend wipe cache amd dalvik after flashing as well, then reboot into system.
Problems with modding my Galaxy SII
Hi,
ah the first mistake.: I really wanted lollypop ( this was the reason why I started all this) and I looked for it but still got the wrong file
I just went to: download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=i9100&type= and took the latest file.
I still don't get the meaning of getting a new recovery: where do I go for this and how do I do it?
I just switched off my phone and started in recovery mode then wiped the data and the cache.
Could not wipe dalvic cache, because there was no advanced option available???
So how should I do it?

First of all, relax.
Second, you can't just go around and blatantly download the latest file you see hoping for it to be a lollipop version rom. You have to read around and actually make sure what it is your downloading. You only get one chance cause if you screw up badly - hardbrick.
BTW, you won't find any lollipop ROMs on that site as there is no longer any official CM roms for S2. You can get unofficial builds from Galaxy S2 Android Development section and also kernels in the same area.
Before you flash a lollipop rom, you must first have a compatible kernel for it. Go around, read in Lollipop rom threads and see if you can find a compatible kernel for lollipop. Then go about and flash your ROM.
Good luck.
Problemss with modding my Galaxy SII
Ok, did my homework.
Installed CWM-based Revovery v6.0.4.5 via odin
Wiped all data and cache partition
Wiped dalvic cache
Installed cm-12.1-20150408-UNOFFICIAL-i9100.zip
installed pa_gapps-modular-mini-5.1-20150404-signed.zip
Everything worked fine
Then tried to reeboot system.
After a while the Samsung Logo with an exclemation mark appeaered and a bit later the last screen (with reboot system now) reappeared and that was it.
Whiped the two caches again - no change.
What did go wrong or what is missing?
When I go to -report error it shows:
/tmp/recovery.log was copied to /sdcard/clockworkmod/recovery.log Please open ROM Manager to report the issue.
