Try reading the basics and understand what you are doing.
If you then get stuck then come and ask, but first try including some information.

I did and i researched it...

What ROM are you trying to flash?
And how did you flash the ROM, using the recovery or ROM Manager? Other methods?
Some ROMs require that you install the latest recovery. I would suggest going for TWRP 2.6.3.1 custom recovery.

Looks like you don't even understand the very basics .
This whatever rom it is is not flashing probably due to a faulty download .
Dont use CWM see fraqs and guides .
Backup your EFS before you flash .
UNDERSTAND FIRST OR YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE .

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S2 Custom-Roms install

How can I install on my Samsung Galaxy S2 custom ROMs?
Android 2.3.4
I9100XXKH3.
I want the custom Rome by Turkbey V30. 3
Go to the Turkbey thread in the development section of the forum, download the rom & follow the install instructions. Simple.
Where are the the install instructions?
Read me, me and me before you do anything, then you will understand how to flash roms, and will hopefully avoid bricking your phone.
Backup your EFS with ktool before you flash a custom rom, but after you root.

No not really but you would do better to read the FAQS and Guides rather than flash without a single idea of what how or why .

Try to download another rom maybe your rom is broken or you downloaded the wrong file.

What rom are you trying to flash? Status 7 error is often because you have an incompatible recovery. Try a newer version such as from here

Help needed correct recovery !!

Hi all, ok ive rooted my GS3 and its running 4.1.2 , but my question is that im not sure its going into proper recovery mode as when i put it into recovery it doesnt look like the usual recovery screen !! ie im trying to install the Audio hack zip and flash it but it keeps failing everytime i try, can somebody please help me, also is it because it needs a diferent rom like Omega or something, hope to get some help soon, from
Brian
You need to install Custom Recovery first... (CWM or any other)
Rooting only doesn't include CWM...
Use Odin to flash it.
thankyou
Hi and thankyou for that, so when you say i have to install flash a custom recovery, do you mean i have to install a new rom like omega or something ? and yes i do have Odin.

Just go to original development and you will find a choice of 2 or 3, you can flash them in Odin/cwm/mobile Odin depending on their format so read instructions

[Q] Root and custom recovery

So I just bought a I9300, coming from a I9100 and I want to root it and have a custom recovery for rom flashing and backup and whatever but i don't know how/which way to go... i mean does it matter which version i flash (i know from s2 that the kernel needed to be the same as the stock one)
i'm on
Baseband:BUEMF2
Build number: XXEMF6
And yes i have looked around but there are some things I don't know...

The S3 has a separate recovery partition unlike the S2 so Kernel, ROM and recovery are completely unrelated.
soooo if i flash... bugger
help ) what should i flash if i want all of them? custom kernel, recovery and root access
I thought i knew something about flashing...

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.

Outdated method, unsafe recovery. You say you have some knowledge but I beg you to read my thread.
I put a lot if effort into it and should answer all your questions

i would suggest you goto android original development section and try the CWM touch or philz recovery.
Then try out the different roms in development sections

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.

one click noob question..

yup you can always flash roms using CWM but make sure you make a backup using CWM and safely keep it on your computer and also follow the steps in the rom links which you can find in the S5830i android development section

Would you mind reading what he asked? It isn't possible to flash stock rom through CWM, unless you have a backup. OP, next time use the Q&A section for questions.
My bad bro i thot he asked if he could install any rom via CWM
