Hi,
I am going to flash the litening rom tonight as I love the blue theme but I am also interested in the Villian rom so if I want to switch, would I flash the backup cwm I have made and then flash the villian rom or can I just flash from one rom to the other?

When you flash villainrom via odin, it will automatically clear your data ie full wipe, so you can simply odin flash it to the device, boot, and flash cf-root on top if desired
Hi all.
I have installed CWM 4.0.0.9 by "install sdcard:update.zip" in the default recovery menu.
Now i can't enter in recovery menu any more. Maybe something went wrong.
The phone stucks on the "samsung" logo.
What can I do?
I have android 2.2.1 on the phone not rooted (like just bought).
I really appreciate your indications!
Thanks!!
cwm is only for 2.3.X Android! Reflash you rom using ODIN, or flash directly to an 2.3.X rom.

OH fine! thank you!
I would like to flash directly to an 2.3.x rom. I guess that I have to use Odin.
I have found only roms (custom) that require CWM.
Can you suggest a 2.3.x custom rom (already rooted), with Odin procedure?
I don't know where you from, they are differential rom for Europa, Asian and other. If you want an European rom I suggest 2.3.3 KPO, 2.3.4 KPH or the latest 2.3.5 KS9, you can find it on XDA, just search in the development section or general. But you can't find a stock ODIN rom that have root already.
code.rom maybe ?? or mush69rom or villainrom

Blackhawk rom should work fine.
Recently , i have been watching some Cyanogenmod 9 ICS 4.0.3 ROM video and it seems to be cool. Well my question is if i flash the Cyanogenmod ROM , can i re-flash the stock ROM that i had?
And is it safe to flash a custom rom?

Cool as in not overheating ???
a wipe and flash of stock rom will remove custom rom .
Root and custom roms void warranty and have a slight risk of bricking the phone .
But are usually recoverable .
You need to read the faqs and guides and understand the CM9 instuctions first .

to flash cynogen rom first u have 2 root ur phone please find the thread in original devlopment section regarding the same
u can reflash ur stock rom by dwnld the releavant .tar file adn flash the same thru odin
You can re-flash the stock rom, but just be sure to know which one is your stock rom. Go to settings, about phone and record the info there to be safe. Also back up your current rom using CWM.
There are always some risk in flashing a rom. Some people dont read instructions and cause problems on their phone, some people flash a rom not built for their phone (i9100 VS i9100G), etc.
Yeah i have rooted my device with cf-root. Thanks guys , i'll read some guides about cyanogenmod and flash it.
If your are currently on GB stock rom, Cyanogenmod developer recommends to install ICS bootloaded first,
You should be able to reflash your Stock ROM veriosn from ODIN, as well as custom roms from CWM...
What is bootload? o.o
My current firmware is ICS LP7

No they say to have below some specific ics boot loader, no mention of upgrading your gb boot loader, unless they changed it.
Plus I yet to had any issues with the latest ics or gb bootloaders..

I think he meant boot loader.
But since you already have ICS, you won't need it. Just take the latest CM9 nightly (or ROM based off it), and flash (you'll have to wipe cache data and dalvik too eventually). Make sure you make a full backup of your current stock ROM through CWM as well.

I refer this guide actually : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20841817&postcount=1
I dont know its outdated,
as others are sharing their experiance that you could flash CM9 straight away from your CWM since you are already on LP7 with ICS Bootloader.....
I don't get it... What is a bootloader?. I mean when i flashed with ICS LP7 i didn't put a file on bootloader. I just loaded the PDA .tar file and flashed it..
Soo that means that i have to reflash the stock rom with bootloader?

I dont know the ICS package you flashed had an ICS Bootloader already...
I just gave you the link for Original CM9 developers guide...
Just wait for others recommendation who have already flsahed CM9 from CWM....
Hmm thanks . But i have read in the guide that i can flash it with odin , do i still need the bootloader?
I've flashed some custom ROM's somedays ago.. And well , i think that i like more the stock ROM
I was wondering how do i get back to the Stock ROM. Do i just flash back the ICS .tar file with Odin??
Yes, you can also wipe to avoid possible problems
Thanks
Hi all. I am very familiar to android but this will be the first device I root and flash. I'm with bell mobility. I've been doing a lot of reading here lately and want to root and for now keep stock rom. I want to try ktoon kernel as well but haven't made up my mind about that.
I have some questions I need help with before I take any of this on. I understand that in order to flash a custom kernel I need to use cwm and I'm comfortable rooting and installing cwm. I want to be able to go to complete stock if I need to. My question is about getting that back. If I flash cwm but want to go back to 3e recovery will this work by simply flashing the bell stock rom previously posted by adamlange? Also I understand the custom kernel has modified wifi and bt drivers. If I flash the stock rom will this flash the stock kernel back as well. If not how do I flash the stock kernel through Odin? Will this stock kernel contain the drivers I need for wifi and bt? What are the main benefits of custom kernels? Is there any way to flash the custom kernel through Odin if I don't want to install cwm without tripping the counter?
I thank everyone in advance for helping me.
