[Q] what recovery is use

for my phone i try the CWM from rom manager, but my recovery have the samsung recovery ? @[email protected]? and i has seen other talking bout cwd dont work and then im not sure but something call kG4 ??
i rooted my phone with the superone click but i cant get a recovery so i can flash ROMs on my phone ??

I recommend you to ODIN one of the customize ROM or KERNEL in the development session first to get the CWM ( most of the case it was integrated to the ROM or kernel) then you can flash any ROM you want.

Or use the cwm final thread in the dev section.

Look at the Bible there is links for recovery on there.
There is one for froyo and one for GB.

Great advice. Even better than the 75129 posts about how ROM manager does not work with this phone.

Um... no. ROM manager does not work as had been stated over and over and over and over and over and over... Yet every day people use it and wonder what went wrong.

If people want to use ROM manager after being warned then
don't come back asking what is wrong with your phone.

Yikes dude. Just follow the many guides on the Bible... It can't get any easier than those guides. Use Odin to get CWM via Dr. Honks kernel.

In your signature it says that your phone is an Xperia X8 so i recommend you use the right forum to ask questions as they are both very different phones.
Anyway, Odin is a program on windows that allows you to flash a ROM on Samsung mobiles (only).
Certain kernels can be flashed through CWM i think. Check on the G3Mod Kernel thread for more information.
CWM can be installed without a PC i think but you need a few files that you have to message 'Mumbozver' for since he is the person who made CWM work on the Samsung Galaxy 3. Then you will be able to flash a kernel using the update.zip method and if you flash a G3Mod kernel, then you will be able to use Multiboot to boot up a custom ROM.
All the information will be on the G3mod thread, first page so go there to start off and message mumbozver for the CWM files.

Yes, message a user named 'Mumbozver' for the files and also the instructions on how to install it.

Try to use a pc for about 10min. Just flash via odin one packagr. Lots of samsung phones use odin to flash roms and kernels. Kernels csn be flashed thru cwm in the .zip format
Sent from my GT-I9003 using xda premium

I don t think there is any other way. You need a PC so that you can flash G3Mod kernel. It has CWM recovery built in. Or you need to flash some ROM which has built in recovery.

Silly rooting question.

So I'm wondering if there is an easy way to root from the phone? Or any way for that matter. I'm on a cappy with stock 2.3.5 and wow it sucks. Its my wife's phone as I soft bricked my phone trying to flash helly bean over firefly 3.0. I'm guessing I didn't have the gb bootloaders. Though with this phone I do have them and should be able to easily flash helly bean with no problems once its rooted and I flash the proper kernal.

I always go to 4-2ndtwin's helpful links in his signature and use either Odin or Heimdall to install a kernel that will allow you to flash roms. Then you can just boot into recovery and flash.
I think there is a mobile odin on the market.

Ill look for mobile Odin.

Odin requires root. Is there a way to root from the phone?

No, you dont need root to use odin. Make sure you read up and find instructions. Flash a kernel with root and apply via CWM and there you go.

Mobile Odin does require Root.
And nope, no way to Root just from phone.
But there is no need to get Root if u r just gonna flash a Rom anyway. U will however need to use Odin or Heimdall to flash a kernel with the CWM Recovery baked in. (i recommend KK4 Corn Kernel v7.0A ). Once u have flashed that kernel, just use button combo to reboot into cwm and then install ur Rom of choice that u should have already copied on ur phone. Success :thumbup:

flash oldest custom rom that you find and update after with LG Suport Tool to stock 2.2.2 , that will make your phone stock withaout custom recovery or anything else, download from LG site that tool, and 2.2 or 2.2.1 roms you can find in development, something really old
or downgrade to old bb and upgrade with same LG Suport Tool
I think is safest way
