Do you flash the twrp file right after you flash the cm10.1 rom or do you let it boot first then flash it after first boot

You should always let a ROM "settle" before flashing any custom recovery, mods, tweaks, etc. So yes, let it boot fully before flashing your custom kernel.

[Q] Proper way to flash ROM + Kernel?

I'm looking to flash a new ROM+Kernel to my phone. I wanted to flash MIUI and Tiamat's new kernel but am unsure of the proper procedure. I've only ever flashed ROMs.
Do I wipe everything, flash kernel, flash ROM and then reboot? Are there any issues I should be aware of first?
Thanks.
Wipe data/dalvik, flash rom, boot, boot back to recovery and flash kernel.

Power off the phone and boot into recovery the normal way. Hold the camera button, volume down, and the Power button.

Looks like you will have to odin back to stock, and reroot then. Looks like you got the MIUI that had the nuked recovery... there is a newer one i thought that had fixed this issue. If you need a tutorial on how to go back to stock you can find that here : Unroot/Unbrick Epic 4g
You can also re-flash recovery via fastboot flasher.Or just try reinstalling recovery the usal way via adb.

Where will he get a copy of the MTD Recovery to flash?
OP, what ROM did you go back to? Did you do this by restoring a nandroid? It looks like to get back to MTD Recovery you will need to Odin back to stock with repartition checked then move forward from there since you can't get into CWM. You can try ROM Manager before you go that route, set it for manual flash override, Epic-MTD and clockwork 3.x.x.x and see if it will get you into cwm. If not Odin is the way to go.

No you cant, there isnt an MTD clockwork mod that you can flash... and you dont use ADB on this phone for recovery... its Odin. Otherwise if he reflashed the Recovery through odin he would brick his phone.
And the moderator beats me to it

epic doesnt support fastboot.
You can flash a boot.img with adb tho. Google "how to flash a boot image with adb" for a tutorial.

how you planning to flash this CWM zip without CWM already on your phone....are you using TWRP?
If your already rooted go to the play store and get goo.im app and from there install TWRP. In goo reboot to recovery and do a backup, then install the rom of your choice following there instructions. If your not sure do a search on rooting and installing roms.

odin recovery question

I just got a Note 2 and downloaded Odin and a TWRP recovery and tried to flash it but it doesn't say succeed until two minutes later after the phone completely reboots. When I reboot into recovery its still the stock recovery.

Did u root it before you flashed recovery? You didn't mention it. That needs to be done first

Didn't need to. I got it to work. I unchecked auto-reboot and it worked. All I did was flash the TWRP .tar and flash a rom. Rooting first was not needed.
Agreed...
Root is not needed if a user wishes to:
Make a pure stock backup....or current rom backup...
Flash another rom that already contains root...
Recovery is generally only needed for those functions anyway...(that's 90% of my time spent there)...
Everything else is a bonus....courtesy of our generous development team....g
Anyone know where I can get the most recent stock system and stock recovery tars to flash in Odin or what they're called? I have to go back to full stock.

Rooting Galaxy S2/ Custom Roms [Virgin Mobile]

I am really scared of bricking my phone and wanted to ask xda to clarify and help me out putting a custom rom on my phone. I have had custom roms on my optimus v and htc one v but never a samsung device and im scared hearing about these bugs that brick your phone and whatever odins are. Can someone give me a guide to root/put a safe recovery on my phone then explain odins? Htc devices have nothing like these sorry if this thread was pointless, if anything just point me to a thread thanks
Look for the stickies in general section questions section and development. Everything you need to know Is in those threads.

Rooting is rooting. Once you're rooted you can flash whatever you want. Just follow the guides and you'll be fine. If you figured out how to root htc, this is a breeze!

Yes, through odin, but if you want to flash custom roms, use el26 custom recovery. Roms come with their own kernel, some custom. But is you are rooted, and want to stay with your jb stock, you can flash agat's or garwynn's custom kernel, both have cwm.

I'm assuming you're trying to install CM 10.1. If your have ics modem, flash el26, reboot into recovery, flash rom, gapps, modem, reboot, profit

So i can flash this el26cwm recovery/zip kernal in recovery? And then just a Fl26.zip [Ics modem] in recovery aswell? I think i saw somewhere that CDMA cannot flash modems through recovery.. MobileOdin does not work my GS2. {VM]

Mobile Odin can not flash modems anyway, and yes, you can flash el26 cwm in the recovery your have now, as long as its zip format. Boot to recovery, flash el26, reboot into new recovery, flash rom, gapps, modem, reboot, enjoy.
