Hi there...
I am new with Samsung phones...came from HTC.
I rooted my SGS 3 with cf-root as discribed in another topic. No i have a CWM based recovery. Can i use clockwork mod to flash roms from sd or do i have to use Odin ?
If Odin... which files do i need to flash or is it always just one file (.tar ???).
Hope u can help...even If it is with a link to another topic

Yea you can use cwm for nearly all custom roms just read the installation instructions first

Isn't it the same as with the HTC... just download the rom and "instal from zip" when phone is booted in recovery mode ?

Metod is the same on all android phones with cwm.

For a good, stable and fast rom you could try this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797334 and choose 2.2.0 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1663656. Both roms` s are good. Choose for yourself . Look in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1566for for all rom`s.
I am sorry but i do not have any experience with cwm based phones. My HTC was fully clockwork modded. But the options when booted in recovery are the same...so i asume it Works the same ??

CWM is short for 'Clockwork Mod'
So they not only look the same but (except for potential device-specific features) ARE the same =)

if you do, I think it may also wipe your sd card so you need to have the Rom on the external sd card, and have the internal one backed up on pc
Most ROM downloads in zip format should flash through cwm and most tar through Odin, however, as previously stated, read installation instructions to be sure.
You also may want to checkout the TWRP recovery, much more efficient IMO

But it's not a MUST ? Wiping dalvik and user cache is enough ?

Not until it has been added to the supported devices for CWM. Each device is different, different boot sectors, different partition sizes and a fair few other bits. Each one has to be supported, and as of yet, CWM does not support SGS II.

Hey Guys
Bit of a noob here. I got two questions.
Ive just flashed VR3 but the tweaks are scarce is there a way to add more tweaks to VRtweaks?
Second Ive got Rom manager (awsome product) but I cant seem to flash cyanogenmod 7. When i direct Rom Managee to install cyannogenmod from sd it gives me the 3 options 'back up current rom' and so on and asks to boot into recovery and when i press OK nothing happens
Please help!!!

If flashing from cwm remember to flash it twice as per instructions from cm7 thread.
I went from villain to cm7 with no issues. Currently testing it and so far its very decent and fast!

NO 4e = Clockwork mod required to flash custom roms .
Guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125282
Clockworkmod is a 'custom recovery' made by xda member koush. Every phone had a recovery partition designed so that if the user messes up a ROM installation, they can recover their phone. CWM is a modified recovery installed into the recovery partition that allows advanced control over ROM recovery, installation and much more.
Features of CWM include:
- NANDroid Backup, This allows you to completely back up your existing ROM with all its files, data and apps
- Restore Backup, Restores a previous backup (obviously...)
- ROM installation, Allows you to install a ROM contained inside a flashable .zip file
- Wipe data/Factory reset, completely erases all of your data contacts, apps etc, leaving your phone 'as new'
Amongst others...
Thanks guys you have been a major help, I got cyanogenmod working and for me personly it KICKS VILLAINS ASS

Use ROM manager only for updating CM7 version once you're using CM7. WHen you flash an AOSP ROM for the first time it is better to do it manually via CWM with a full wipe.
Now then guys... i am thinking about rooting my phone to put jelly bean on my samsung galaxy s2 .... i was just wondering views on which is the best one to go for ( LINKS PLEASE ) and is it easy to do you know the usual questions you will have heard them before lol IM A NEWBIE !!!
Cheers People
Download Siyah 3.5.2.
http://www.gokhanmoral.com/gm/2012/07/29/siyahkernel-s2-v3-5/
Tar for Odin.
Then use this guide.
http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-s2-i9100-root-android-4-0-3-ics-xwlpd-88120/
Nevermind it says Cf-root. I flashed my Siyah kernel that way.
After that, flash any rom you want in recovery. Just do a Nandroid backup in recovery and backup apps with Titanium backup from Market!!!

Don't restore apps after flashing newer ROM, cause your phone will bootloop.
Better create text file and write names of installed apps.
Im not sure why everyone is worried about backing up there apps ive flashed about a 100 roms and never had to back them up cause if u go to the play store under my apps there always there
Infact there are apps there id forgotten about just pick which ones u want and re install .some roms auto instal them for u .make sure you have a google acc obviously!

What type of data? Music and photos are saved to the external SD card for me, and as for game save data, I believe that is externally backed up as well.

Only if the application is on the external memory card then it's backed up there. Otherwise they'll loose the data if that's not the case.

If you restore from google play, you loose all your app settings and you will have to reconfigure each app.
Also, Google Play will not show apps installed offline (apk)
Restoring app data with third party app like titanium backup is safe if app is compatible with the target rom

in order to install a perticular custom rom , all u have to do is to follow the install instruction's of the same in there OP. and the same applies to all other roms also.
since installation instruction do vary from one custom rom to another
Jasper,you are better to read up on things so you are familiar with the processes of like rooting/kernels/roms/cwm/Odin/troubleshooting.
I understand reading 1000s of posts is tedious,but you could end up with a non working phone.

Have you wiped it before flashing the Rom e.g. factory reset wiped cache and delvik cache also they flashing it twice straight after each other

There should be no need to install it twice in a row. Try what was first suggested.. when in recovery, wipe data/ factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, flash ROM... reboot.
Did you make a nandroid backup before flashing?

Bummer. Yeah flash another ROM if you have it on your SD card.. try to boot into something. If it was a bad DL of the omega rom it shouldn't flash, and the fact that your getting successful is weird
Next step is maybe pushing a files onto your phone via ADB and try to flash again. You got recovery so your not too bad off
