There are infinite posts regarding how to install a custom rom. Firstly you have to root ur phone then install a custom recovery like cwm or twrp and then you have to flash a new rom. system recovery can be used to install recovery like cwm. google it.

You don`t have to have root before flashing a rom as most custom roms are prerooted allready, you just need a custom recovery

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

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.

To install ROM's (and in particular Cyanogen 7), I need Clockwork Recovery installed..yes?
I can't seem to find the obvious way to do this, but, can I simply use stock recovery, to run the CWM.zip in the above method to get to Clockwork Recovery - and then install Cyanogenmod?

The phone is already rooted.
In the method I followed, you used stock recovery, to load Clockwork Recovery. I'm simply asking, can I use this method to install custom rom?

You boot into stock recovery. You then select a file called CWM.zip and this temporarily loads Clockwork. On a reboot, you'd still have stock recovery.
Yes you can flash custom ROM using that temp cwm, I do it all the time

I didn't try in that way. If u want give it a try i prefer the way that a post u before
Using XDA Premium over Resurrection Remix ICS, the Best Rom ever made
1) place your ROM zip to SD card root, again flash CWM zip from stock recovery,
and install zip from SDcard,
2) or you flash CF-root CWM version from CWM after flashing CWM zip, to get pemenent CWM
3) flash CF-root TAR file from ODIN to get CWM, no matter you already rooted
Excellent. Thanks guys.

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?

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

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.

No it won't affect custom roms because they are already rooted..Most people don't realize that if you are planning to flash custom roms you don't need to root because like I said above they are already rooted.
You only need to root if you are staying on stock rom and need to backup system files/Data or mess about with anything that is to do with the system.

Thnx 4 reply....but wat I mean is if I flash custom rom with that error in cwm, will dat cause any problem in flashing. ..the error only occurs while rebooting...nowhere else like wipe cache, factory reset or install zip etc...so shd I go ahead n flash custom rom with dat error still there??

No don't worry about it. It will come up everytime you reboot out of CWM recovery.
Its safe to ignore or flash PHILZ where it doesn't come up if your concerned about it.

If running stock rom it has the ability to replace the recovery with a stock one. Follow the instructions to stop this when presented with it. But since you are flashing custom you can ignore it.
Do a backup, reboot into recovery, flash custom recovery if needed. Do a nandroid backup, wipe /data /system cache and delvik cache, install rom, install gapps, be happy ?
thnx
