[Q] Is this wise?

Hi everyone, I have a Samsung Galaxy S WIFI 5.0 and when trying to put an apk into the system/apps folder I accidently the apps folder out of the system folder and now it dosn't start. It runs through the boot animation but then displays a black screen playing the force close vibration pattern. But it boots into recovery and download mode fine so I may as well try a factory reset. So I did and still the same. So now all I can do is flash a ROM. And the one that I want: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1689310
Cannot be flashed by Odin but only CMW. So now I have to flash a new kernel to get CMW, This one:
http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-player-5-0-s-wi-fi-rj-custom-kernel-overclock-84994/
But is it wise to do this in the state my device is in? And also I don't have usb debugging enabled.
Can You help?

I dont have hardly any experience but from a general from a general idea/thought, why dont you flash the latest official rootable firmware from Samsung, thus succesfully rooting it, install CWM recovery, from there install the rom you were talking about

I know that is the sensible idea but i'm not a one for flashing roms or kernels as I get worried about bricking and I would prefer to do it all at once.

Buut yeah, factory resetting only wipes the /data & the /cache partition, if you don't have stuff in the /system partition it won't start.
Just go to your device's forum, follow the procedure and your phone will be running like butter again ^^

Its almost impossible to hardbrick a Samsung phone ;-)

I feel really silly asking this question cause i'm new to all this you see but what procedure?

Dosn't matter now. Fixed it by installing a different ROM

[ROM][Sep 07, 201][ICS][Official] Downloading US version now

This morning I was checking the update for my GT-P2610. Low and behold, it is now downloading the official version of ICS now.:victory:
Edit: Kudos to Samsumg, It kept my root.

I think it's the same one that is available at sammobile. But it's cool to hear that it's now available as an OTA and that your root was kept

I was wondering if you noticed if there is a difference between the size & amount of space ics takes up after you updated from honeycomb to this ics? I was wondering if I'll have to make sine space for the update. I'm also wondering if you know if it'll reinstall any system apps (the apps that come preinstalled with the tablet) that have been uninstalled or if it'll just update to ics & leave everything else alone like it's supposed to. Sounds hopeful if it kept your root!

You mean re-installing bloatware apps during ICS upgrade? I think I saw a forum post saying that it was "recommended" to reinstall any removed bloatware app before attempting the ICS upgrade(maybe I did read wrong), I suggest to look at those post first just to be sure.

My OTA update failed... Must be due to root, titanium update, etc. Had to go the Kies route. Kies installer would not run on windows 7... Tried downloading multiple times with 3 different browsers... Same result...program too big to fit in memory!
Finally had to download kies installer to tab, changed extension to zip, emailed the zip to my laptop, changed zip back to exe, and wallah... Successful install ok kies!
Then used kies to upgrade to ICS. Talk about a round-a-bout method!
But ICS up and running. Going to try using Chrome browser.

You mean you happened to flash MIUI V5 correctly?? Then you flash cfroot? Well, a good info for you, when you installed a custom rom this is already rooted so you dont need to root again. Just start from the beginning. Flash XXKPE>DDLF2>CFROOT>CM10A4>MIUIv5

Thanks

Guys help me find model number micromax

Note : I am not a n00b, but the situation is like this:
I need to ask this into Question and Answer forum but currently It's not available (May be server down or link dead). I got a Micromax Canvas Tablet gifted by friend because he has forgot the pattern lock. And I went to recovery and decide to wipe/clear data and cache but unfortunately, this option is not available only two option:
1) Update from adb
2) reboot system now
Then, I decided to flash it but don't know the model number, I asked to him and he forgot it, but his guess was "p4__" and I google it, and found Micromax P480, so I downloaded the rom and try to flash with "Download" option but SPFlashtool error message (I don't remember) and recommended me to use Format All + Download option, then I proceed with this step, the flash has gone successfully with no errors but problem is touch screen is not working at all. I get language selection screen and I can't click on next or anything. All hardware buttons are working like volume and power. I pressed Power button and I came to know I have to press at the bottom-end of the screen.
After 2 days, I found a small written something, and I looked it carefully and that text was T702_ I think it's a model number and give search for Micromax Canvas P702 on google to look at photos, everything matches except the dts written on backside. Anyway I tried to try this firmware and this time SP flash tool giving me error "Chipset doesn't match".
Now, I am so tired finding this tablet model, please does anyone have similar tablet or anyone have good knowledge with Micromax phones? My friend has thrown the box and bills so no documents.
