Most zip files are designed to be flashed in recovery. If your not sure look in the zip file, if there is a folder called META-INF it has been designed to be flashed in recovery

No it's not. You can flash by choosing 'flash zip' it's there for ease of use I suppose.
Could I just flash it by the ROM name?

Of course when flashing roms make sure you have ClockworkMod Recovery installed before flashing roms.
You need to rename zip files update.zip only if you are using the stock recovery which you shouldn't be using.

Installation aborted
Are you sure about this? Because the name of my file is E3_STOCK_V8072_CWM_R3.zip, midway of installation, I encounter Installation Aborted... So if I rename that to update.zip will my problem solve? So I'll give it a try. Please reply.

Where can I find AT&T GS3 CWM 6.0.1.2 for ODIN?

All the ones I found online are older 5.0.x.x version and it does not support flash from external SD...
Why not just use rom manager?

No, ROM Manager is an app, while CWM is a recovery.
You can install the app called ROM Manager and within it you'll find the option to flash the latest CWM recovery.

Right, this is for the case when I am soft bricked and can't boot into cwm. I am able to reflash the cwm and bring everything back but now I just need the newer version so that I can install from external SD.

All it takes to install cwm is a simple dd command with root access. This is what ROM manager does for you. Or you can install it manually using terminal editor

[Q] Can't flash smelkus...

I am rooted s-on, have been flashing roms for about a year. I have downloaded a couple of recoveries renamed them pc36img, but when i boot into recovery and try it use them it parses them. Is this because of s-on?

Yes. Download,Flash Image GUI,by Joey Krim from Google play. Then download the image file for the recovery you want and flash it that way.

No the file will have a "name_PG36IMG.zip" just delete the name part and put the pg36img.zip on the base of the SD card and go into boat loader and let it unload...

Interesting link on Rootz about this even though its for a Verizon Galaxy Nexus-click here. Looks like you can, but kernal has to be placed in specific folder. Don't hold me to this, as Galaxy Nexus is a different species.
You can use any kernel, but the boot.img/ramdisk/init.rc/bootclasspath variable has to be modified for MIUI.

You have to unpack the boot.img then make the edits then repack. Post what kernel you want and I'll do it later

Download this zip: http://db.tt/gIQ702Z8
Then REPLACE the boot.img that is in there with the new boot.img/kernel you want to flash (AKA, unzip, replace boot.img with kernel you want, then rezip)
Now flash in recovery and you will be running any kernel you wish
Technical details of my swapKernel.zip: unpacks current boot.img to temporary folder, unpacks boot.img you wish to flash, swaps ramdisk, repacks NEW zImage (of kernel you want to use) with current ramdisk (of kernel that is currently on the device) and then flashes that new boot.img
Sent from my buttered S3
Wait. So download the kernel I want, and replace the boot.IMG in the kernel with the one in that zip?

It seems to have worked. thank you a ton! but one last question, what app do you recommend to make kernel tweaks?
And i dont know what it is.. but it seems to have broken wifi?
Try rebooting
If it persists, you'll need to flash the other original kernel back
Try another version/kernel maybe?
The Trickdroid kernel app is great (play store, free)

Ah, I know what it is
Flash the zip of the kernel you want WITHOUT the boot.img inside (so that you're modded boot.img isn't replaced)
The thing is, each kernel also comes with modules and other built specially for that kernel, so those need to be flashed along with the kernel (but since you don't want to flash the entire boot.img for MIUI, you need to first do the steps in my post above and then flash the zip for the new kernel WITHOUT the boot.img to keep your special boot.img)

okay i dont know exactly why but i did a clean instal of miui and then installed gapps and the swap zip with boot.img from BMS kernel, and everything is working.
