Root question

Just out of curiosity, is it possible to root without cmw and without a computer?

No, you need a cistom recovery installed on phone to flash the su file
You can try twrp recovery that uses goo manager to install its twrp but I think(99.999% sure) u have to be rooted first
You can read my link in my sig about rooting

Need root to have the recovery script.... You could go buy an original gangster Android 1.x phone and use androot or z4root and ginger break
All of which don't work on the sky rocket
Download goo manager and go to a friends house goo has All the files needed like super user and odin

Make sure you wipe cache (including dalvic) since you're on jb Jeff F's kernel won't work so use the aries kernel instead. I just installed cm10 but Google now is a bit glitchy so I recommend you use the xda Google now for ics thread. Other than that everything works I love project butter makes it a when new device!

No. Clockwork Mod does not work for our phone. Use Goo manager instead.
Clockwork Recovery works just fine.

I think you are Confusing Clockwork Mod with Rom manager right?
Because the recovery is call CWM based Recovery. Which stands for Clockwork Mod.

I used goomanager to install an active script recovery, this one worked. DONT USE FREAKING ROM MANAGER TO INSTALL A RECOVERY! That's about it

Very true,
There is a sticky about ROM Manager, while I have it on other devices I don't have it on my TF101. Just wish they would play nicely together.

[Q] How to install custom recovery after root?

first things first. I'm a noob. HAHA. but i'm willing to learn.
I recently rooted my phone by using chainfire's CF-AUTO-ROOT and it has stock recovery on it. Now, I want to install a custom recovery, specifically cwm recovery. How will be able to do this? Do I have to unroot then root again? a step by step info will be appreciated. thanks

First of all find a cwm file for ur device specific to the model u have on google. Flash it with Odin n u will have the recovery.

done finding cwm file that's compatible with my tab
Flashing? not really that well with android terms yet. after clicking "pda" then selecting the cwm file, should I click start? is that what you meant by flashing?
I appreciate your help.

Yeah first go to download mode holding power and volume down button and select the file in the PDA section n just click on start. And wait till pass. appears on the Odin screen. That's it.

I also would like to install cm 10.2. is it stable? I tried searching and I found pac rom and if i'm not mistaken 3 custom roms are installed into 1 rom.
I also would like to ask if it is really necessary to wipe all data before installing a new rom? and if so, would apps like titanium backup pro would be able to backup every single app or information that is in my tab/

Yeah u have to wipe cache and dalvik cache. 10.2 nighties r stable. No issues with me.

Your thread is changing direction but I can't resist commenting anyway. If your tablet is rooted, stock I don't think you will see big benefits to a custom ROM. For other tablets I use like the Kindle, Nook and N7 custom roms can make a huge difference. I'm running CM 10.? Or variants of that on those devices. My most used tablet is this 2.7 with stock ROM. If you must try another ROM, I'd suggest a sick based ROM that is deodexed with sound or visual enhancements. Also, changing to a noon, Touchwiz launcher will make big differences. GOOD LUCK!
P.S. quess what a ROMaholic might be.

Thank you so much. Where do I get framaroot? I looked on the Play Store but it is not there. When I get it, will that allow me to put a recovery on it?

see the list of supported devices.
its only for rooting and it doesnt help you with installing recovery.

Is there a way you recommend installing a recovery?I've looked on cyanogen mod but I don't think they support my device. Any ideas?

All devices have a recovery mode . While rooting you are replacing a recovery mode like cwm .

what phone?

I've never had an issue rooting... its gotten pretty safe, as long as you follow the steps closely you shouldn't have any issues or worries about bricking anything.
There are backup options of your rom after you root it. Clockworkmod Rom Manager makes backups and installing new rooms as easy as 3 buttons.

Since the galaxy player 5 us version is older device is there a clockwork mod recovery for it?
