On Samsung devices, you can use Odin to flash a 3rd party recovery, or even the stock firmware. Why can't you flash a Custom ROM just like you flash the stock firmware? Is it because Secure Download?

hey.
I want to switch from one rom to another, do I just download the .zip of the new rom and flash through clockwork recovery?
Or do I have to delete somethings first?

Basically what you just said.....download and flash via ClockworkMod Recovery.....but some people (like me) prefer to Odin back to stock then flash their newer custom ROM
how do I odin back to stock?
Also if I recover from odin to stock, do I lose my unlock?
i'm on my KF1 stock rom, and i want to experiment on different roms.
1) are all custom roms (e.g lite'ning, cognition, darky) flashable using CWM? (i got my CWM from flashing the mirage kernel). or i can use odin anytime if i want to flash them thru the computer?
2) i searched for the forums for my stock rom, and i found a link:
http://www.multiupload.com/U95BI5QVDL
it's in an .exe format. is that flashable too thru CWM, or i have to use Odin to flash it back if ever i want to revert back to my stock rom? isn't flashble stuff in .tar or .md5 format?
The one you found is correct and it has to be extracted from .exe format via Winrar/7Zip. Then you will get .tar file which you could flash via Odin.
And I think you can flash any Custom ROM via Odin over any ROM.

do i flash the stock rom under the PDA tab only, just like flashing a kernel? i don't have to tick any other options (bootloader, phone, csc, etc)?

odin to the stock and rooted, wheres the best kernel so i can flash a rom? and im on rooted stock do i flash the rom first or kernel first or does it matter?
btw i tried triangle away but it does not work something about magic header should i flash the rom and kernel then try it or is there another way?
and can i flash twrp on this for my recovery?
Use mobile odin lite or mobile odin pro to flash the AJK v4.9 No Swap kernel to get CWM recovery. Open the zip archive and extract the boot.img, and flash that in mobile odin. Do not need to boot into system, and if you do, the buttons will not work correctly. Boot into recovery and flash the firmware of choice.
If you want something touchwiz based, then the best choices are either SHOstock3 v4.0 or Cooked. If you want something AOSP based, then there are a few choices which you will need to research yourself. You can probably have TWRP recovery by flashing a custom kernel containing TWRP, but this will depend on which firmware you choose.
I use in cm11(s2 i9100) and I want flash stock rom, but my USB connection break. Therefore, I can not flash in odin.
I can flash stock rom in my cwm recovery?
thank
