Hi there, im looking to replace my stock recovery with a custom one.
I don't want to install cwm.
Maybe you know about a different recovery that will work with Gio ??? I ask TWRP and it does not support galaxy gio.
My gio runs custom rom based on stock, the kernel and recpvery are also stock, this why i dont want cwm, too much of a risk with that after reading the sticky post in this forum.
Maybe one of guys here can enlighten me a bit.
Thank lot
Sol

Dear Gurus,
I've been wanting to install Kezra's Optimized V3 custom ROM but I'm having a hard time finding out from the threads if it's possible to go straight from stock ASIAN DXKJ5. I know that KP's custom ROM is based on EU ROM and since this would be my 1st attempt at custom ROMs, I'm very much afraid to brick mine.
Hope somebody could point me in the right direction.
Cheers!

Hye bro..just flash it if u already have a CWM recovery or RZR...it will not brick ur device or something **** happen if u follow da instructions carefully..just magic will happened ..
If u in doubt,do a nandroid backup first..just in case.
Write down ur APN onto paper..after flashing,u need those for setup ur 3g connection..
Me too,still in dxkj5 baseband..but it doesn't bother me...
Happy flashing...

Have u rooted ur rom? if u manually deodex ur rom now, u might not be fully deodex all apps. I would recommend u to flash a custom ROM for simplicity. All the custom ROM here are deodexed.

Sure you can.....revert I mean!!
As a matter of fact, you can revert to exactly what you have at this moment in time.
Have you got ClockworkMod Recovery....
if not, you must install.
When you have CWM.. you just got to make a Nandroid Backup...which is a complete copy/image of your current setup.
This can be restored at any time, bringing your device back to what is your current setup!!!

My friend, I don't know where you get the idea that there is no good rom
How do you come to that conclusion???
Please tell us, as you are obviously an expert!!!
What are your conclusions, having flashed numerous ROM's?? no doubt.....
You should be careful how you phrase what you say.....
you probably mean no offence....
but you have just offended the entire Voluntary Developer Community for this device.....
as in guys/gals working for us for no money,
think again!!!!

Right now my SGS2 T989 is with T-mobie's Rom which sucks.
I would like a easy explanation how to update it to ICS rom with RTL fix (Im from israel so I need hebrew to work on this device, RTL)
Probbally You will just say Im a jackass and tell me to go and look for guide but since its not my mother-langugh I would like you to give me a guide that will surlly work..

U need to root your phone first the development fourm have sticky with detailed instructions. Then flash your favorite rom keep in mind these ics rom are based on leaks they will be buggy I recommend darkside rom. I don't know of any hebrow instructions but if you wrote this thread then u can figure it out. Good luck. And try to post this in the Q& A former u will have a better luck

Ok, we get it. Your a TDJ fanboy, noone cares. Now for your question OP, this is the guide I used when i rooted/flashed for the first time. It's made for the T989D (telus) version of the phone but also has instructions for the T989 as well. Give it a try.
http://androidforums.com/galaxy-s2-...d-ultimate-root-optimization-guide-steps.html
Use this to root:
Here
Use this to install a ROM:
Here
Both have Step by Step instructions with a video to help.
I don't why people always say they need to root first, it's BS.
All you do is use odin to flash CWM. No need to flash SU if you are gonna flash a custom rom. I just think people don't know what rooting means or does.
All you need is a custom recovery like CWM, then flash a rom.
If you are staying stock sure, flash cwm and then SU to root it.
Please don't confuse the OP. I mean sure he can do what you said, but rooting first is a sort of standard that everyone follows.

Questions go in the Q&A section
I had a couple question and hopefully you guys can help me out.
I have a gs3 and was looking to install a rom, now do these roms just add features or do they completely replace the default rom? Im I going to be able to do everything I was able to do before the custom rom? Also what does "cm10" or "cm5" mean? Also my phones 4g isnt working, it stays at edge, no mateer if I have full bars. Would a custom rom maybe solve the problem? If I add a custom rom can I revert to stock without side effects?
Thnks
Read and read and Google and Google, or vice versa! And have you rooted and flashed already? If so check your imei and see if it has numbers or just 0 (settings, about phone, status, imei) oh and read some more like the resource guide I created, and Google other things.

Buddy my advice to you is read more! And that's being serious because flashing things is no small matter but to answer you're questions.
Flashing a rom will replace the default.
It will change kernel, build, etc. The only thing that wont change is you're modem.
If you did install a touchwiz rom. You're most likely going to do everything you do plus more but make sure its based of T-Mobile... they tell you on the first post of roms.
Cm10 is cyanogen mod and they make asop roms. They best way to describe the rom is watch a video of the nexus stock rom.. u will get the jist of it.
For you're data make sure you're on a 4g area my friend. If u are then personally check you're data and make sure 4g is enabled. Still wont woek then maybe flashing the newest modem might work but be very very careful! !!!!
If u install cm10, akop stuff like that people recommend to odin back to your stock. Look up odin if you do not know what that means.
Ok I answered all you're questions
But truly watch out. From reading you're questions it sounds like you are new and want to learn which is good but keep reading and reading before you flash anything dude. Treat this like programming class and you're fighting for that A
Hit thanks if I helped

You are the man.
What is the full model number of your GS3?
Dude you really look like you won't take advantage of all the rooting capabilities maybe it's best if you don't. Have you ever had 4G? It might be your area, tmobile doesn't cover everything. So custom roms most likely won't improve that, so before you do anything call tmobile and see what's up with that because most likely your paying for a service your not getting. If not then a warranty is in place if they cover it in your area, also let us know if you have mess with some settings in network.

Since we are asking questions about custom roms... Let's say I install a custom kernel but I flash different rom after that. Would the custom kernel go untouched or would it change to whatever rom is present on the custom rom?

It changes with whatever rom you flash to my understand, roms comes with their equipped kernels. You should wipe before you move on to next rom
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Yes all ROMs come with a kernel otherwise they wouldn't boot.
Ahh, that's right. Thanks for clearing that up guys

Well the new s3's still can't flash aosp ROMs except for the 9/22 of cm I believe. You need a modded recovery to be able to mount storage because there's a safeguard in place that won't allow you to mount in recovery. Any TW ROM is fine
