If you flash the NODATA version of EL26 in my signature, it will be pre-rooted, and keep your existing data.

ClockworkMod?

I've been searching and can't find it... I just need to know how to get clockworkmod back. I found several threads but all the links were dead.. help a brotha out?...

Which version?
Or for what? Depending on your answer the recommendation could be different.
Most popular is Rogue recovery kernel which is based on cwm 5.0.2.8.

You had CWM where did it go? Nah just messin man... OP try to be a little more specific, what did you flash which caused you to loose CWM? What setup are you currently running? Which recovery are you looking for?
Boy, what a newb... my internet is down and Im just a little pissed, sorry for the lack of info.
I was on a stock EL29 rooted rom w/ cwm. I flashed a TSM rom and poof, all I have left is stock recovery. I want a GB version of cwm ( I don't care which version as long as its stable) as well as a good kernel/modem/rom if you have recommendations on those as well. I just need something stable and that has hacked hotspot included. Also, can you not flash .zip files with Odin?
Thanks guys, my bad on the newbish thread starter.

IMO if you want hotspot on GB, the simplest way is foxfi, no root required.
Assuming you have root (either pre-rooted or using auto root for the earlier versions), the auto root package has a collection of all the various kernels repacked with CWM for you to install.

is there a rom that you can root right from stock el30? i thought marcus rom did this but i even tried flashing su.zip first but still doesnt work, thanks
How do you root a ROM? Why not just do what everyone else does. Root your phone and flash a ROM and be done with it. Pretty simple.

ROMs are prerooted in Development. Odin stock is not.

questions on flashing wicked sensations 1.6

I am currently on stock fh13 unrooted at the moment (not my first time flashing a rom) and i am wondering what steps do i take to flash the rom.
Can i do this?
1) transfer the rom onto the internal sd card
2) odin back to stock el29 with qbking77 videos http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vmEmheJnyg
3) root the el29 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7pWjmKCsoc
4) download mobile odin
5) flash the el29 directboot cwm 5.0.2.7
6) then follow the instructions in this video, except the different version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPHUlfdcQc0
Thanks
Why not just odin stock el29 rooted? Takes out the rooting step as the root is already included. The mobile odin el29 direct boot kernel.

Custom recovery question FI27

Will qbkings video on flashing a costume recovery work on a stock rooted e4gt, Fi27 build. Would I end up using a ff18 custom recovery?

I am assuming yes. As using Odin you just need the right file.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1767421
download the 6.5 .TAR file and follow the video.
put your phone in download mode.
open ODIN, make sure only auto reboot is checked
load .tar file into pda slot.
hook your phone up to the cable. (you'll see a yellow box with COM:xx) means your connected.
press start.
Wait until phone has rebooted. Good to go
Awesome I shall give that a shot after I read a couple more threads.

I would recommend upgrading your kernel to Agat's 6.5 kernel or FI27 kernel repack.

[Q] How do I put a custom recovery on my Boost s2?

I have the Boost Mobile s2. I rooted it with the framaroot.apk but I don't know how to put a custom recovery on it so I can make backups. I have the gc01 which I updated my phone with on Kies. Which recovery do you recommend and how do I put it on my phone? I'm a bit of a noob on this so please help.

The safest custom recovery is EL26. Personally I use chris41g's. It can be found here. Just flash the tar using pc Odin, reboot into recovery, and you are good to go. However, make sure before you do that you save a stock(or custom) zip kernel of the rom build you are on so you can flash it once you are done in cwm. Personally, I would use Agat's kernel, flash it after you do your backup, that way you always have cwm good luck. I'm on Boost too. Let me know if you have any questions.

Where do I get EL26? I'm a little apprehensive about using pc odin. I soft bricked my phone using it a couple of times. Like I said before I'm on gc01 and I used framaroot to root the phone and had to flash an fi22 kernel and update to jelly bean through Kies again. I'm not an expert when it comes to Samsungs lol. I had an HTC before and it was so easy lol. I love this phome though. I attached a screenshot of where I'm at.

The link I attached has the EL26. I understand your frustration, but I assure you if you do it right, it is completely safe. But if you insist on not using it, you can use Mobile Odin since you are already rooted. It's in the play store, and worth every penny. But pc Odin is free . Your call. Either way, make sure you have a gc01 kernel in zip format to flash back to after your backup.

Does the gc01 kernel in zip format have to be a rooted gc01 kernel so I don't loose root? And where do I find one? I know I have a lot of questions lol I'm just new to this. Thanks in advance

That's fine. That's what we're here for. I'd rather you ask pre-emptive questions and get it right than brick your phone by doing something wrong . Here's the link for the GC01. It has cwm too, so you can use it as your daily. And to answer your question, no, you don't need a "rooted" kernel. As a matter of fact, the kernel you have now is stock .

If you downloaded the zip, then yes. If you want a good, stable kernel that has custom recovery, let's do this. Download the tar of the GC01 and flash it using Mobile Odin. That way you don't have to use EL26 at all. . Just flash it, reboot into recovery, and cwm will be included in the GC01 kernel so you can do backups/restores with that.
