Hey stupid question here but if I wanted to flash a JB rom from a rooted stock rom, can i just place the zip on my sd-card and flash it or do i need to flash something before it?
Thanks.
Yes you would put the rom on your sd card but don't forget to flash the proper gapps and do the necessary wipes.
Well I'm flashing a Samsung based rom so I don't have to worry about gapps. I'm a veteran at flashing but this a new device for me so I just wanted to make sure because back when I had the Samsung captivate, we had to flash tons of bootloaders and scripts. Thanks for quick response!

Hi guys. Gmaster here. First of all im using a rooted rom (not stock) and i want to replace it with a custom one. Im want to use mobile odin but im wondering if something might go wrong like root being removed during a process that requires root. I would use odin on my computer but my antivirus is...you get the point. But do i want a stock rooted one or will my other rom do it. Please tell me if it can do it or not (even if there is a soft/fixable bricking possiblility) if its hard brick possibility then i do want to know. Any answer that helps will get thanks off me.

As what you said, you are using "not stock" rom, so I assumed you did install a custom ROM in the past and it was successful. But why don't you follow the same way you did?
Alternatively, you can use adbshell to install CWM and then flash a custom ROM or zip through it.
There is Stock ROM and there is Costume ROM - bothe can be rooted or not (Coustume one almost always are).
Stock means: the original ROM from the manufactre (Samsung, HTC etc...).
you can learn more on how to back up your apps (titanium) and current ROM (CWM Recovery), and flashing a new rom from the forum threads.
I know guys but if i install a non root rom then wont cwm stop working?

My experience flashing non root stock room with cwm, the non root stock room became rooted stock rom by itself

Just the answer i need. Tnx. Just to make sure: my new custom rom will not effect cmw nor loose root access to finish it.

I have rooted my gs3 and need help. I am on stock rooted 4.0.4 ics. I want to go to the latest pacman rom. What do I need to do?
Have you installed a recovery?
Download GooManager if you want TWRP or ROM Manager if you want CWM recovery.
Either one will allow you to flash a compatible ROM.
I really like TWRP. User interface is easy. Goo.im app makes it easy to find compatible ROMS to flash for your device. I don't know if PACMAN is on goo, tho.

If you are on stock ics you'll most likely need to update your bootloader after you update your recovery if it isn't updated already.
You'll need to go here

This will need to be done before you flash almost any rom that's been updated in the last couple weeks.
You might be up to date but I doubt it.

Definitely go with TWRP. The user interface is much friendlier than CWM. It is also really good from the standpoint of being careful when wiping or installing things with their "slide to ____" feature.
I keep reading and I keep getting confused. I have a Virgin Mobile S2, 4.1.2 GB28. I'm going to root using framaroot. I know that I won't be able to use stock recovery. I like the stock rom. I'm under the impression that the recovery kernels are rom specific. Do I need to flash a new rom with custom recovery or can I just flash a custom recovery kernel? I'll be using Mobile Odin.
As far as I know, none of what you are going to do needs a CWM Recovery... I could be mistaken, but I am pretty sure I am not. ROMs are recovery specific and kernel specific if it says so in the OP of whatever ROM you are looking to get. Stock ROMs are not recovery or kernel specific. You will just need to have a JB kernel/recovery be it stock or CWM. But I do not believe you will be needing a CWM Recovery unless you plan on changing ROMs or flashing mods.

thank you.
I have a noob question (and i`m new here with the ace 2...):
I search some threads but i dont find a clearly answer.
I want to install a custom rom.
I have jb stock.
It is nessesary to root the phone first and than install the rom or is the root option in some custom roms includet that means i dont install root as a single part?
That means i go into the stock recovery install cwm and after that i install simply the custom rom....right?
Witch roms has the root includet?
Thanks for HELPING!!
Yes, custom roms are rooted

1. You dont have to root your phone first when you want to install custom rom...
2. Every custom rom, like CM or PAC is rooted so you don't have to root as a single part.
3. If you want to install custom rom, just put in your sd card and flash with cwm recovery
Press thanks if I helped you

I apologize in advance if this already exists in a thread, but I can't seem to find the exact problem that I am having on here.I flashed team win recovery project via Odin and rooted with a clockworkmod flashable superuser zip. I am on firmware UMVMD5 android version 4.1.2. everytime that I try to flash a custom kernel it soft breaks the phone. I thought that this phone comes with an unlocked boot loader? no matter what ROM I am on it soft bricks. I make sure that if I am on a TouchWiz rom I've Flash a TouchWiz kernel. And vice versa. will someone please tell me what am i doing wrong or give me a link that explains what I am doing wrong? also, I want to add that i unlock my sim card slot and am using net 10
How are you flashing the Roms and kernels? Also, make sure the recovery is up to date.

Link to the kernel you are flashing.
@yourbabysdaddy
With Touchwiz Rom, you have to flash Touchwiz kernels. AOSP Kernels will softbrick. Always take a nandroid before experimenting.
I'd try KT747 Touchwiz version Not AOSP.
Also please post the name and version of the Kernel you tried.
