Sorry if I'm being harsh here, but judging by your post count, you've been posting around on XDA for a while. Do you not know how to search? There's plenty of threads out there.

If you used Odin and flashed a kernel that has cwm then yes you can flash from that cwm recovery.
Check the development section for drhonks kernels thread and odin KJ1 with Voodoo and CWM. Its rooted, and will have CWM for you.
As for which ROM is best...
No.
Its pretty much impossible to answer that question. We have a few really good ROMs and its all personal preference. I would personally suggest trying out SimplySimple, INCINB, Octane or Valhalla.
Its a toss up, theyre all great.

You need to use a modified kernel, Stock gingerbread kernel is not rootable doing his modification will screw your video up and you won't have video at all.

Are we waiting on source to drop so kernel can be pulled from it? Or will it still be unrootable then?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium
Sorry but I am too having the above problem. I'm afraid I do not understand about the kernel
Can someone explain? I have been searching for an answer but come up with nothing
Thanks
You would have to flash a rooted kernel with Odin to get root then use the sgs kernel flasher to flash the stock kernel if you want it.

Must be something wrong with the phone Odin said PASS but still does not work
Thanks
im putting all the tools needed together in a single package. soc is a thing of the past... i will need time to test it which means flashing the official firmware and whatever.
once everyone has root, dont ask for cwm... that will seriously put me in a bad mood.

This is just a rom.. you have to root and get CWM before you can even install this.

ok, hit my links (on my signature) both will show where to get the tools you need to accomplish your task at hand....there are Odin packages and one click methods to get Rooted ROM stock if that is what you want....or to put CWM on for custom ROMs
First of all, After reading a lot here (maybe not enough) Thanks for all you have done and are doing..
As my post count shows i am a supernoob at this android phone stuff with this being my first smart phone..I would like to ask you a question in regards to your [ROM][2.3.6]SGH-I997 UCLB1 [Rooted, deodexed, busybox].
I updated my phone through kies mini with the first Samsung release of GB so it is not rooted and you say flash your ROM with CWM which needs root that I don't have.
Can i flash this ROM with ODIN since from what I have read does not require root? (Or am I wrong thinking ODIN does not need root access?)
I'll be honest some of the threads about flashing are pretty confusing when you have never done it before.
Anyhow... Thanks in advance for any reply..
P.S. I give you total permission to hit me upside the head with the stupid stick if I missed the answer to this..
No.. you cannot flash with Odin.... my suggestion is to Odin gtg unbrick.... or flash the community gb kernel to cwm, then wipe and flash my rom ... it is only cwm flashable... if u use gtg unbrick, then root with superoneclick, 3e modified recovery to get cwm, then flash my rom. You will not be able to flash it from the official update. Good luck bro

no sim removal needed.

it is 2012...we shouldn't be saving contacts to phone or sim anymore.

I have a rooted skyrocket, with touch clockworkmod, and i was wondering. If i were to flash a rom onto my skyrocket, and i decided to return to stock, can i still flash it using cwm or must i use odin? I saw a thread earlier informing to use odin to get back to stock, but im just making sure its ok that i use cwm instead thanks. Sorry again, im a noob
Cwm will stay on your phone. Just use a rom thats rooted. (If it doesnt say its not then it surely is) all will be well.

if the dev of the rom says its ok to use rom manager, fine, but if you are having problems w/said rom dont go trying to find solutions if your first problem was using rom manager, you just wont know if thats the cause or not.
cwm is your friend, its easy to use, and gives you the user the the power of android........yes i said it , i almost wrote the power of grey skull(heman quote)

U can use rom manager but problems are much more likely. I recommend doing any cwm activities from within cwm itself. I flashed for the first time 1 month ago and I fully understand where u are coming from. It may look intimidating but once u start it is quite simple

Seems like you need to do a lot of research before you're ready to do anything with your phone. I would start with going to your specific devices thread and read all the stickies, guides and info that you can get your hands on. Then you might be ready to start into your device.
I'm not trying to be mean, I'm just trying to get you to realize what it takes to mod your device. And keep in mind that only you are responsible for your device, so understanding everything before you start is the best practice.
