Hi,
I have the samsung unlocked and rooted on a custom rom on 4.0.4
Wanamlite Rom
I would like to install the latest CyanogenMod 12.1 on it but i have read this:
Make sure you're using a Kitkat Compatible Recovery

I have the clockworkmod recovery PhilZ Touch 3 6.0.1.5 but I am not sure if that one is a KitKat compatible (I imagine it is) or if I need to do something else to install the new ROM (apart from the standard instructions I mean, wipe, etc).
Thank you very much

Hi
Just flash the latest recovery from philz thread here
You want philz 6.48.4 .zip. Just flash it from recovery, reboot to recovery(not system), then flash the rom, gapps etc as normal after full wipe

hehe, I guess it would be alright for only one person to see it. Will remove once the person has downloaded it. The project is dead, but of course I still respect the devs. I'm sure he'll understand that posting one link won't hurt. Thanks for point that out mate!
Technically it's not a direct link, moreover it is a link to the folder containing the files. So you could say it is a relative link (or something called like that).

Hi, I'm trying to flash the latest version (6.0.1.0) of the ClockworkMod recovery onto my GT-I9100 but I cant downland the required zip file.
The ROM Manager app gives me a download failed message, and the link on the website does not work, I suspect the app just uses the same download. I would post the link but the site wont let me as it's my first post.
Can anyone help. Is there an alternative download link I can use. I notice the links for 6.0.1.0 for other phone models seem to work but I'm not sure about using them on mine.
Cheers
i have the same problem

In samsung phones the recovery isn't separate. It's bundled along with the kernel
To use CWM6 flash a kernel which uses CWM6 like latest Siyah.
Don't use ROM Manager on GSII to flash recoveries.

flashing a custom kernel like siyah will not wipe ur apps or data ma8, it will only add the latest CWM recovery to the phone, so u can flash it without any issues

The S3 has a separate recovery partition unlike the S2 so Kernel, ROM and recovery are completely unrelated.

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 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.

Sometimes I don't know why I bother.

1- If you are asking about "how to install a 4.4 custom ROM for your i9100, you need CWM 6.0.4.6 or 6.0.4.7, and the recovery can do the rest for you in terms of flashing and all.
2- If you are looking for a KitKat Compatible recovery, I would rather advise you doing some searching or simply googling "CWM-6.0.4.7-I9100.zip" and downloading it to your SD card in order to flash it.
However, the only way to install the new Kitkat based firmwares for the i9100 imply you to use the latest CWM (or TWRP latest) in order to have support for metadata, and if I didn't answer your question, simply be more specific (your current ROM, OS version, Kernel... etc)

Hello everyone,
Today I tried to install a new rom on my Samsung Galaxy SII I9100 but I got some problems.
I had already rooted my phone and installed Philz recovery.
The problem is that I keep getting the same error: status 7. I saw I need to update my Philz recovery but I don't understand how to do that. Can someone help me with that? After I update the recovery I want to install the rom Beanstalk with Google Apps is this compatible?
Thanks in advance for your help!

place both the zip file the cwm one as well as the KK rom (beanstalk in your case) on ur phones internal sdcard.
then reboot to philz recovery and first flash the CWM zip and then again reboot back to recovery.
Do all the wipes using the latest CWM recovery as per the install instruction on the Bean stalk thread and flash the rom.

Try installing a slim/micro/mini gapps package. The gapps package you are trying to flash requires more space as there are more apps associated to it. The packages I mentioned has only the essential gapps for your system. You can search for them on xda.
