Am a beginer in this awesome flashing world,so trying to understand the basics...
Recently I rooted my phone (I9100) and installed Philz touch based CWM but after flashing a custom ROM the CWM was changed to
non touch ,so my question is does a ROM installs its own CWM along with its kernel overwriting
the exisiting CWM on my phone?
Is there any way to keep the Philz touch based CWM after flashing the ROM
Hello and welcome.
Yes, it may be that each rom installs its own kernel along with CWM.
And yes, you can download the philz touch version from XDA and flash it using Recovery. Just search for it in the forum.

ok thanks a lot for your reply....
Yes each rom has its only recovery be it cwm or twrp and don't flash philz on a custom rom. Philz is for stock based roms only.

Flash Siyah kernel, it has touch recovery built in
how to install a rom without a cwm bootloop?
Make sure you're on latest twrp or cwm or don't flash aokp rom's. That should generally be it

The best is to flash recovery with fastboot to avoid the risk.
And I have aokp and no bootloop....
Im currently using the Philz touch recovery and wondering if i can keep it and still flash the Dorimanx kernel?
U cannot permanently replace the recovery of Dmanx Kernel.. but, yu can flash a temporary touch version of philz recovery from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840223 wnenever you wanna use that recovery..
But, It would be laborious to do that each and every time you need to flash domething..Hit Thanks If i`ve helped..
And BTW, Don post Que like this in Android Development.. Post in Q&A Section..
Okay, thanks for your help and the link. Ill simplify things and just use the recovery the kernel comes with
I always flash my dorimanx kernel everytime I apply an update. I can flash it even using philz or any CWM recovery
Would just like to confirm before i proceed as i do not want to brick my phone.
Since I'm running i9300 stock android 4.1.2, is it safe to root using the method found here?
Since recovery won't be installed, i am unable to find an odin flashable cwm 6.0.4.x which is required for kitkat roms.
There is twrp 2.6.3.0 here, but i'm unfamiliar with it and the version needed to flash kitkat roms.
Any help would be appreciated as search/stickies did not help.

thank you for the reply
tbh i prefer twrp but will use cwm if twrp does not support kitkat flashing.
have tried philz but did not like it...would use it only if cwm and twrp aren't available.

search in the twrp thread with the keyword "cm11" and you'll find the answer:
in short you do not need the version in the op but from the main website and in the thread is a link to it. but better look yourself
if you are unsure ask in the thread, which roms are flashable through twrp and which one causes problems

For anyone interested:
Yes you can use cf auto root in the op link to root jb 4.1.2
For Recovery:
CWM: You have to flash via odin cwm 6.0.3.2 then install the 6.0.4.4 zip via recovery
TWRP: odin flashable twrp 2.6.3.1(required for kitkat) is available on the twrp website.
Philz: odin flashable zip can be found in this thread. Not sure about kitkat compatibility tho.

I have a question, I want to use WizzedKat rom as my new custom rom and I am moving away from Pac-Man Rom Cm11. And here is my question, how do I do it? Do I need to flash a new Recovery? Use the PhilZ touch recovery the dev of WizzedKat provides on his thread? Use the latest version of PhilZ Touch? Or just use the CWM 6.0.5.1 that comes with my ROM

So wizzedkat is 4.4.x? Just install it as normal. Full wipe, etc and either philz or cwm will work
EDIT - Just noticed it is 4.1.2, no problems flashing via your recovery
I'm confused. I thought it was android 4.1.2 in steroids. I don't know.

Not sure what you mean. 4.1.2 is the android version, you shouldn't have any problems flashing it.
