Any way to Flash a CMW Firmware via Odin?

I want to try a ICS build rooted, but i cant install a CWM because my phone freeze (i try a lot of things, i have 2 thread a bout that but never found a solution) the only Version that work for me is de ICS,so, i want to install one rooted ICS via odin.Is that possible?
EDIT: sorry, i made a mistake with the title, i want a rooted rom ocustom rom (ICS) via odin

CWM ROMs will not install via Odin. Make sure the ROM is made for the Captivate Glide. If it isn't, it won't work. Make sure the ROM comes with a kernel built for ICS. When flashing the ROM, are there any errors shown in CWM?

I see that the Glides with problems are the rogers version, maybe something in software is not the samewith ATT.
first flash the GB kernel (use the overclocked, that was the one that i use), dont select any in odin (f reset for example), restart the phone manually and get back in odin onmediatly and flash the rooted rom. after that, the phone will boot in GB,now flashwit superoneclick ICS and follow the rest of the thread.
I dont know, but its works fine when i dont select any in odin (f reset, etc)

A much simpler way to root your phone is to just Odin clockworkmod recovery then wipe all and format all and flash a rooted ROM.. Takes 5 min

No, it's not possible, ftf. files can only be made by Sony, so you've got to do always the same prodecure for flashing, rooting,....

thank you so much for your answer
so i think i will keep doing that long thing again and again

That's a really tedious procedure you're following. When I try a custom ROM and don't like it, all I do is:
1) If switching between an ICS ROM and a JB ROM and vice versa, reflash the kernel, then reflash the ROM.
2) If moving from one ICS ROM to another, or one JB ROM to another, just reflash the ROM.
3) If moving from ICS/JB to GB or vice versa, flash the stock ROM, flash the kernel, and then flash the custom ROM.
You don't need to keep on flashing the stock ROM, rooting it, installing CWM, then installing the custom ROM. Kernels, as far as I know, usually come with recovery installed. If you're in a bootloop, just follow the pertinent steps from the list outlined above.

Go read the stickys, get some basic knowledge and learn something for yourself, then ask questions about what you don't fully understand, on an existing thread that you found while Googling.

bootloader locked or unlocked because it sounds like you have a locked bootloader, if it is unlocked then why dont you flash a kernel eg. kernel rush with CWM already on it ?

You don't need to install CWM again, even if you're in a boot loop. Once the phone reboots, keep pressing the "down" volume rocker, as you always do, and you'll enter into recovery. If you're moving to a different Android version (for example, ICS to JB), switch off your phone and flash the appropriate kernel. Then all you need to do is reflash your previous ROM or flash any other ROM that you want. However, that's only possible if you've download your previous and/or other ROMs onto your SD card, too. Do you do that before you flash?
I don't have any experience with locked bootloaders, but the user above IS of the opinion that you might be on one. If that's the reason you're having to go through so many steps to flash a ROM, why don't you try unlocking the bootloader of your phone? I'm more than certain your phone's not covered under warranty anymore, and unlocking the bootloader is definitely not going to fry your phone or anything of the sort.

[Q] xperia s Change OS to 4.4 cyanogenmod

Dear forumers.
I usually do not ask stupid questions as that, but there I am very very confused
I just want to install some new OS to my XPERIA S (LT26i). Now I have all stock cellphone conditions with original 4.0.4 Android version.
My wish is to have phone fastest as it can be and all stable. I have read many many topics and guides there but I am still confused where to start. I need all flashtool, bootloader unlock, root, recovery, flash kernel, flash rom and do not know what to do first, second, third,... And I do not want to break up phone.
Can someone please kindly understand me and copy links of actual guides in right order? I need suggestions for 4.4 version OS-s too.
Best regards

Is it? If I go to Update Center or on PC in Companion it says me that phone is up to date. It cant find any updates. I don't know why?

Can someone just tell me where I must begin, and what to do next, and what is the last thing to do? (guess flash new rom)
I just need order of work from all stock phone. I understend the guides and I can find them, but do not know what is the right order.
Probably you don't know that it is not so easy to first doing that, but for noobs that forum is so hard to understand especially because of risk to damage your phone is something goes wrong.

Now you need to download a rom from the development section, then open the zip on your pc, extract the boot.img. Then copy the rom zip file on to your phone and flash the boot.img using fastboot or Flashtool. Then turn on your phone, and keep on pressing the volume up button to enter recovery. Then wipe everything except system and sdcard and then flash the rom.zip. Reboot your phone and it should be running kitkat

Root/unlock/instal rom one v

Guys,
Probably a milion times this has been said but I'm really a total noob. I just got a secondhand One V with following details:
SOftware 4.0.3 version
Kernel: [email protected]#1 PREEMPT
Baseband: 20.79.30.0835U_3831.24.00.23_M
I would like to install a clean / fast rom as now the phone is very slow but I dont know where to start. I know there are probably milion threads with the same issue but the more I read into it the more I get confused ( kernel, CWM, Bootloader etc). Can i please get a step by step that is really easy to follow and working? Is there a video tutorial perhaps? WHat custom rom do you recomend for this phone?
I know that I will probably get directed to the general forum and I really do apologize for posting such topic but any help will be appreciated.

Oh well I finally managed to brick my phone ( at least I guess) Its stuck on boot logo.
I wanted to install another ROM but I didnt first put the ROM on my SD card. I decided to restore my back up - the original ROM.
I did but when I rebooted it got stuck on boot logo. Then I figured I should fastboot flash boot boot.img which I found in the ROM i downloaded.
DId that as well but after reboot still stuck on boot logo.
Is there a way to fix this??? I was so unlucky with ROMS these days none of the ones I tried the Wi-fi/data Worked
Edit : FIXED!!!
I extracted the img from the back up ROM and now its all good.

[Q] need some help installing KitSlim on locked BL

hi,
after spending a lot of time in the KitSlim thread i'm getting more and more confused.
One person says do it that way, another suggests a different approach.
i'd like to install the KitSlim Evo9 from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2743177
I'm currently running a stock 4.4.4 rooted with locked bootloader and a dualrecovery on my Z1C
- boot in TWRP
- do all the wipes
- flash the Rom from SD1
- without reboot flash the gapps
- power off
- use the flashtool to flash the 108 NUTStockKernel
- reboot & done
My Questions so far:
Is this order correct?
does the Rom file need to be on the internal Storage or would the SDCard also work?
Is the NutStockKernel ok for my locked BL, or do i just need to flash a standart 108Kernel file?
(Some say the NutStockKernel is only for unlocked Bootloader, some say it's for locked BL)
Does this NutStockKernel come with a dualrecovery?
Some even suggest not to flash a Kernel because i'm allready on a 4.4.4_108 !?
thanks in advance for answers!
the more i read here the harder it seems to get ^^ but i'll try.
this is a great community!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=54777670
This is the process I used, worked fine.

thanks for the reply. i'll give it a go then.

If you already have fw.108 on your phone, you don't need to flash NUTs kernel.

does that mean, that the dual recovery will still be there?
(as far as i understand the recovery is in the kernel)
or does the recovery come with the ROM? cause it says in the thread that dual recovery is built in

Recovery is built into the rom, so whatever you do don't flash nuts recovery again after kitslim or you'll end up in bootloop and have to start from scratch flashing a stock rom.
So coming from a stock rom fw.108, with root and recovery (but locked bootloader) go into recovery, wipe system wipe cache&dalvik (don't reboot) flash the Evo9 then the Full gapps, that's it.
Even if it goes horribly wrong, you still won't unlock the bootloader, and rebuilds are so easy now thanks to Easyroot

thx for the advice. i did it and it's running on my phone now \o/
runs great, and no bugs encountered yet!
still got some questions.
are there any restrictions to what software to install with KitSlim running?

I think you should head over to the KitSlim thread, but no, it's just the same as a stock rom, install what you like. Although pay attention to which modules you install with Xposed, as some of them can clash.

i need 10 posts min. to post there, thats why i asked here.
