Flash Pre-rooted ROM or root first

Have a new Galaxy tab on 3.2 and want to install Galaxy Task 10. Can I odin CWM 5.0.2.7 and then flash the pre-rooted Galaxy Task 10 Rom or do I need to follow djR3Z's instructions on how to root before I flash the Galaxy Task 10 ROM?

Yeah a lot of people think that you have to root to install a rom...not the case
Just flash the recovery in ODIN and then flash the rom..thats it!!
Hope this helped
BTW: thats the best rom out there

GT-I9100 - CWM Recovery won't install

Hey,
I've successfully rooted my SII and installed ROM Manager, but as I try to flash CWM Recovery and select GT-I9100 the install doesn't commence and I'm left with a message saying 'An error occurred while downloading your recovery'. Any solutions to fix this or flash CWM in a different way so I can install CM9?
Thanks for any help

I used S2 root to root my phone.
My kernel is I9100XWLP3 (3.0.15-I9100XWLP3-CL287862
[email protected] #3).
Dialling *#1234# brings up
"PDA : I9100XWLP7
PHONE : I9100XXLPS
CSC : I9100XEULP5
Build Info : Tue Apr 3 19:44:49 KST 2012
Also, if we manage to fix this, how should I go about installing CM9 (if ROM Manager isn't fully compatible)?
Thanks

Once you've flashed the CWM recovery, then download the zip version of Siyah kernel and just flash in CWM recovery.
Very simple

Did you even bother reading the topic you replied to?
Rom Manager from market is not properley compatible with our devices, no matter what the manager says or if you see SGS2 in the list. Uninstall it and only use the "CWM" app that is installed by kernel or reboot into recovery.

It doesnt matter, you have no reason to have latest, they are just updates to support more devices.
Just flash custom kernel, like latest Siyah, the kernels contain CWM.

I assume you are talking about PhilZ recovery........
If all you want is a custom recovery on a stock firmware then you have to match the recovery to the firmware build......
And you *do* realise that the leak/test firmware is not as stable as release firmwares don't you?

Custom ROM

Hello guys, i found the Android Revolution HD rom pretty awesome,it fits my style(stock, fast etc) but i don`t know how to flash it, i have Galaxy s3 i9300 International version Unbranded never locked on any carrier, firmware 4.1.2 i9300XXEMC2 stock kernel, my phone isn`t even rooted...i had a galaxy s1 and s2 before but im not so experienced with rooting the galaxy s3, in that ROM section how to install it tells me i need Custom Recovery, and now my questions are :
1. how i flash galaxy s3 i9300 ? i found chainfire method but i read that it doesn`t support custom recovery ... so what`s the method?
2. wich version i must flash ? what are the differences ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797334 the 25.0 or 35.5 version?
HEEEELP ! PLEASE
If you read both chainfires thread and the revolution thread properly then all is completely clear.....don't skim it....read them both PROPERLY ....if you can't be bothered to do this then the chances are you will brick your phone
I just read the revolution thread and found the answer within 1 minute
I know Chainfire thread is 100% clear
This site is not for this

if i want to install philz touch recovery i must be rooted first or i can install it straight ahead?
You can use Odin to flash it directly.

Update cwm on s3

Hello everyone !
i recently root my galaxy s3 - gti9300.
i used cf root (http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...3-07-2012-cf-root-6-4-supersu-cwm5-5-t1695238).
this cf root comes with built in cwm 5.5 recovery, now my question is if i can update it to the latest of cwm, and how ?
(becuase i want to flash to ArchiDroid rom and it said that you need cwm 6 + i think )
if you now pliz help me !
thank for all helpers !
Just download the latest CWM version on this forum (not in General but in Original Development). Just put it on your device and flash it using the CWM recovery that's already on your device.

Galaxy S2 (i9100) upgrade from stock 4.0.4 to CM11

Hi all, my second ish post on xda (yes im a moderate android noob), i am after some advice and help on flashing CM11 to my S2 (Intl), as it feels really outdated (because it is) and also quite slow (because it is). Ive read about the brickbug and i ran Chainfire's GotBrickbug tool and it said "unknown chip, not sure if dangerous, at least it isnt known to be bad. The chip is V3U00M and the revision is 0xE. I also ran another checker and it said sane chip. Im running the stock 4.0.4 (rooted with Framaroot and removed carrier rubbish) and apparently 4.0.4 is prone to bricking. Ive read about flashing new kernels (Siyah etc) and other methods. I know there is the 4.1.2 update, does that remove the chances of brickbug so i can then flash CM11 via CWM? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Official 4.1.2 firmware is safe, only 4.0.4 has brickbug.
So do i just upgrade to 4.1.2 then use odin to flash CWM 6.0.4.5 and then follow normal procedure? Thanks for replying btw

Download XWMS3 4.1.2 from sammobile site(you have to log in). Then use Odin to flash it. Download PhilZ xwms3 kernel and put kernel zip on sdcard. Reboot in stock Samsung recovery and flash that kernel zip file. Then reboot again in recovery and flash philz 6.0.5.0 touch recovery.
Or... You can root 4.1.2 with siyah kernel, but you need to flash kitkat compatible recovery

Yes, you can use OTA to update your android. Then you need to root your phone and install CWM compatible recovery to flash CM11

Thanks heaps man, ill probably use Framaroot as it is easy and it works atm, hopefully ill be a happy user of CM11 haha
I just thought I'd say I've got the S2 on OmniRom 5.1 now after using a rather unstable and buggy CM11 nightly. Thanks for your help BTW
