What recovery do we need to use to flash roms? Do we need to use the recovery that has auto loki? I just want to flash the debloated rom for now.
Thanks
Use the twrp downloaded from the goo.im app. Works great, just have to be rooted and your good to go

Loki is a tool for the rom and custom recovery developers. As a consumer of roms you just need to make sure the rom you use has mentioned it has loki applied (and have a loki patched recovery such as TWRP). So yes, built in to what you would use.
I know one recovery was also modified to auto-loki flashed roms? Haven't tried that yet (and all roms are already loki'd right now I believe). May become more common later?

Loki is the only way to boot up a ROM at this point till a bootloader unlock happens (If it happens). But its great, lots of development already. Even AOSP roms are running pretty stable already, very encouraging.

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.

I suggest you to update your phone to official ICS before flashing an insecure kernel
Can i install any international version ROM, or will the radio be broken or something?
Not sure about any, but I've installed trickdroid and revolution without any problems

Yeah, just unlock your bootloader and flash a custom recovery. I recommend TWRP since it's more touch orientated (designed better) than ClockworkMod. Then download a ROM and follow instructions.
For those that have flashed Int. ROMs and have TWRP, did you use dumlock or flash the boot.img in fastboot? If anyone has used dumlock, can you write up how you used to get a good flash? I am coming from Sammy, so all of this is very new to me and I am trying to learn as much as I can. Thanks.

I didn't use twrp I used CWM. The kernel for Renovate installed in that recovery.

So you just flashed in recovery like normal? Nothing else?
This phone is super confusing, keep reading about flashing a boot.img before flashing a ROM or using dumlock. Can not find a straight answer to what I need to do to go from rooted stock to a ROM.

As usual HTC left off some security on the released version of this phone's HBOOT.
The One X on AT&T was like this too when it first came out. We could even flash RADIOS on that thing.
I am pretty sure the discovery that you can flash boot.img from recovery is pretty new.
I'm coming from the S3 world. I've tried searching, but I'm a little confused. To install custom ROM/kernel for the S3 I had to unlock the phone & bootloader, then root & install custom recovery. What are the steps for the S4? It sounds like the bootloader can't be unlocked, but you can still install custom ROMs? Thank you!

If you have MKE you can flash custom recoveries and ROM's. If you have ME7 search out the Safe Strap posts and flash a compatible ROM, I find Hyperdrive rocks.

Thanks man! For either version, I will have to unlock & root first, right?
--EDIT-- So, do I have this right...I can only install a custom AOSP ROM if I have MDK firmware, which can be unlocked. Can't unlock and install one if on ME7?
Okay, so I have the VZW S4 (obviously) and I'm running VRUDMI1, rooted with Root De La Vega.
I downloaded ROMmanager and Tried to install CWM Recovery, it didn't work.
Then I downloaded GooManager and tried to install TWRP, also didn't work.
Is there another way to install custom recovery or am I to assume this is because the Bootloader has not been unlocked for this firmware?
If this bootloader has been unlocked could I be please be pointed in the right direction?\
Basically, my goal is to install a custom ROM and as far as I know, I need a custom recovery image and in order to do that I need to unlock my bootloader. Am I correct in these assumptions?

And that is a method of "dual-booting" or something right? So essentially, I could boot into a custom ROM but I couldn't overwrite the existing one, forever wasting the space that the original ROM takes up?

Some have installed a custom ROM into the stock slot. Do a little research and see if that's something you would want to do.

I think I am going to try it, seeing as it is my only option until the bootloader is unlocked for my kernel. Thank you guys so much.

As long as you understand that you can't flash anything but a Touchwiz ROM. You can't do that if your phone has firmware later than MDK.
No CM. No AOSP. And no, you can't downgrade to MDK firmware.

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.

The thing is i dont have the CWM on my phone, its only the Rooted Stock Recovery.
Uhm i believe that we can flash a philz via stock. Is that true?

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.

You can flash a kernel for stock roms via stock recovery, you don't need to use odin, just read the instructions.
