The ROM should have the kernel with cwm in the zip file, flash it with fastboot and install the ROM as instructed on its thread.
Do not forget to copy the zip to SD card before you flash the kernel.

Hi, I have a Galaxy S2 with stock ROM 4.0.3 and stock Recovery. I wanted to know if there is a way of flashing Custom Rom without rooting the phone or ADB. Would this method work? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719 I would just proceed till the step "Choose CWM.zip and wait until CWM recovery appear." Would this work? i need custom recovery so i can flash a custom ROM.
Thanks again
No you cant flash a Custom ROM from stock recovery, you need a custom recovery and root access on your phone for flashing custom roms
the method you linked is only for rooting, the recovery appearing is only a temporory one from which you can only install SU-Busybox-Installer.zip.

I didn't test it myself, but I think that it will work.
If the custom ROM is provided as Odin-flashable tar file, you don't need a CWM recovery to flash it. Just put the ROm tar file into PDA section of Odin and flash it to your phone.
Only if the custom ROM is available as CWM-flashable zip file, you need to flash a kernel containing CWM recovery first.
I prefer to flash CF-Root kernel from Chainfire with Odin. It contains CWM Manager app and CWM recovery of cause.
When you are in doubt, stick to the flashing instructions of the ROM developer - usually in the corresponding ROM thread.
P.S.:
As soon as you have CWM recovery, create a nandroid/system backup.
So you will be able to go back to your current system, if something goes wrong with the new ROM.
Good luck !
Oh cool, lemme try it

All you need to do is download cwm recovery from here http://clockworkmod.com/rommanager in your SD card and flash the Dowloaded zip from stock recovery .
Once you flash, your stock recovery will be converted to cwm recovery
After that flash any custom rom of your choice. Simple and short

No you can flash any ROM you want, just like any other cwm.
I have used it multiple times, but the Queston is can you do it the first time, before you choose that busy box installer.
Edit: yes you can flash any rom just fine

exactly that is the step you asked about, will not work.....
I can confirm it works.....
Flashed new dx9 after full wipe.
From recovery choose the cwm zip
From that touch cwm flashed aosp rom.
So it works just fine.

Sorry for this question but I do not have any customization on my XS. I have copied the CWM.ZIP and ROM.ZIP files on SD card. Could you please suggest how can I flash ROM.ZIP as I do not have any custom recovery installed.
p.s. The bootlocker is also locked.

This is a fix only for who is installing custom ROMs without custom kernel. To install recovery, search for it.
I have had a problem, after flashing Rom, before flashing your zips I wiped cache, and started this problem in recovery:
Can't mount CACHE/recovery/log
then after flashing your zips phone stuck reboting at logo sony, so I have to start from zero, do you know why have that ocurred, is it because wiping cache?

No, CM10 requires the CM10 kernel, no work arounds, sorry.

for the xperia sspeed rom for example, you can also use the stock kernel, but why can't i use it for cm10?
That's a stock based rom so you can use the stock kernel. Whereas CM10 is AOSP based so many things in the Kernel are different for example Wi-Fi modules as well as other things

Back to stock, install CWM again, install MIUI and before reboot, install CWM.
Today i flashed (zip file) my SXS to MIUI latest version, but after installation i feel bad and i want to flash Dualcore rom. But when i tried to enter into recovery mod nothing is happening. Before flashing MIUI ROM i had a CWM recovery (after flashing the rom i didnt do any CWM recovery flashing), so i cant flash from sd card. Can anyone help me to enter into recovery??
Flash stock ftf, root it, install cwm, and then flash [email protected] core rom.
And if you unlocked your bootloader, flash advanced kernel by arakmar and then flash [email protected] core rom.

Thanks for your reply, but i had found something very easy from this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756346
using this we can make CWM from PC for any ROM (Custom and Stock (i think)) , very easy just run the install.bat alone... Thank you HooLIMAN87 for ur reply.. :laugh:

Yes, aslong as you have cwm you can then flash zip of your choice. The zip will also flash new kernel which has perm cwm.
Depending on which rom you flash, afterwards I would then go back into recovery (cwm) and flash Siyah kernel.

Hi, I know maybe it's a noob question, but I have installed cyanogenmod 9 in my Sony Live Walkman, and the kernel that comes with it.
Can I install a new kernel (like rage kernel) without having to install the rom (CM9) again? It will work just replacing the kernel?
Thanks!!!

You have to download the kernel onto your sd card (make sure it is for cm9). And then you can just flash it using cwm recovery :laugh: no need to flashing rom again

Another question: I'm used flash my kernels with flashtool. I entered in CWM in recovery mode, but couldn't find the option to flash the kernel (just the rom). How can I install the kernel without the need of the flashtool (without computer)?
Thanks again!!!

in recovery choose install zip from sd card, then choose zip from sd card. After that you can select your kernel and flash it
Press thanks if I helped you
if you've got the kernel in zip format, ready to be flashed, then go ahead in cwm and flash it.
But if you don't have it in zip format, then you'll have to make one for yourself.
For that, you'll need to extract the zlimage from your kernel and replace it with the zlmage from your cm9 kernel, not forgetting to recompile the kernel. make a flashable zip, or download one, and flash it.
