Ok yes I am a noob at this and after much searching I have not found an answer to my question so I decided to make a thread.
Can anyone explain to me the process of flashing mods to your ROM? More specifically do you have to wipe data and everything to flash a mod to your ROM or can you just flash it on top of your ROM and keep it moving ?
To flash a mod usually you download a file in. Zip form. You then flash it in recovery the same way you flash a rom. (Install zip) make sure you know where the file is external or internal. Wiping anything should not be necessary unless the dev specifies. And you flash it at anytime after the rom has been installed. Check versions and make sure its compatible. Hope this helps

Beast to wipe cache and Dalvik immediately before flashing the zip.
But, most important (other than reading the flash instructions) -- Nandroid BACKUP -- with CWM Recovery prior to flash so you can restore your ROM if you don't like, have issues etc with the mod just flashed.

Sorry, you are incorrect. Flashing certain mods and apps you should most definitely.
This guy explains it simply, and better than I could put it:

I stand corrected
Recovery
Most mods (if not all) will require root access and a custom recovery tool like CWM and 4EXT. To get the recovery tool the phone will need S-Off mode enabled (Security Off). If you are on 2.2, S-Off wasn;t around then so you shouldn't have that problem, but startgin with 2.3 it was introduced, so you will need to get S-Off in order to get the recovery tool installed.
Getting into Recovery mode is another thing that depends on your phone. My Samsung uses Power + Volup and Vol Down togheter, then Vol Up plus Vol Down after it turns on forseverl aseconds. I have an HTC that is the same, but just with Vol down (no Vol up required). Of course to do anything there you need the S-Off plus root plus custom recovery tool.
You can also get a USB driver and adb (plus dll) toolkit to access the phone via yoru USB cable (this requires turning on USB debugging under phone settings). From there you can get into recovery by issuing commands in DOS.
> adb reboot bootloader
You can even flash some img files (mods) from the command line also ...
> fastboot flash radio radio.img
and then reboot the phone to normal
> fastboot reboot

If You want to get the root mode, flash the supersu.zip via Recovery !

Hello,
I'm still wondering how to do this without odin.
Why the tar.md5?
I can use heimdall, http://www.webupd8.org/2012/06/heimd...t-runs-on.html
because I use linux. However, why is it an .md5 file? heimdall can only work with a .tar.gz file.
Is there a way to do it with recovery after copying a file to /cache?

Everyone,
I would caution against androsamace's howto. It installed CWM on my phone but you can no longer use the phone/get into jellybean. It only boots to recovery. I even tried wipe data/factory reset and it still only boots to CWM. I'm trying to get to where I can actually USE My phone again as we speak.

It can be done now, in this moment, without this Backup modes in CWM ( But if You really want to backup all the rom, use the CWM from androsamace, I think doing a backup via Titanium Backup is sufficient), coz we have Odin all the time to flash a stock rom.
Problem is there, that I can't install Ubuntu on my laptop along Windows 8..... And my Personal PC with linux and all the needed stuff is waiting in Italy, but I can't bring it here, no money..

So guys, what way should I use to root in your opinions, there are a couple that I know of, cm auto root, using adb, and recently TowelRoot (not sure if it works with 4.4.3)....but please share your opinions, and I probably need recovery too so share about that as well...

You cannot root with adb. fastboot is the best way to root It gives you the necessary tools and understanding required to not only root, but also fix your phone if you fubar.
Look for stickies in General
if you have drivers installed properly then extract this
https://www.dropbox.com/s/6cfqp9uvgzclbk4/Platform_Tools_Nexus.7z
download a recovery ( .img) and put inside that folder
open terminal there (shift+right mouse button>>>select open command prompt here)
reboot the nexus into fastboot mode, connect and type this
fastboot devices
(to see if nexus is connected)
and flash the recovery through fastboot
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
reboot into recovery
and flash supersu from chainfire

Also, if your recovery image was Philz, you can just root directly from the Philz recovery menu
same as what gentlemen above said..
I keep SU.zip in a folder on my phone. I flash it everytime I flash a new ROM

Yes if you're imeediately going to flash a ROM, no need to root your current rom. Just unlock the bootloader, flash recovery then from recovery flash a rom
Official CWM itself is pretty antiquated. The choice is between Philz advanced CWM (See signature) or TWRP and it is users preference really.

Btw I agree to some of what you said in other posts about rooting with adn without PC. Its great to be able to root easily but this in my opinion would make everyone root and stuff while I think rooting and Roms should be for android enthusiasts and what else.
Alright decided to go with cf auto root, pretty simple to go with and no need to flash recovery..
It is very easy but sometime try doing it manually it will be handy to learn the basic fastboot commands in case you softbrick your device which if your a flashaholic like me it will happen I've owned this phone three months I've softbrocked it 5 times

I think the best bet for you is to read the thread about root / update in my signature. OTA is proving too troublesome. I can't hand hold you through the whole process.

I already told you.
Ok, I've read your thread about how to upgrade to Lollipop the Nexus.
The fact is that my main pc have no working USB ports, so if I want to unlock the bootloader and stuff like this I have to use my second pc, and it is very slow (the last time to just fastboot a factory image it tooks me one hour of suffering).
I think that the method 2b is the one that is closest to my situation:
1. Unlock bootloader if necessary (This wipes data)
2. Accept OTA update
3. Fastboot flash a custom recovery image (of your choice)
4. Fastboot flash a custom boot.img (@Chainfire for basic root, @sykopompos for full permissive mode)
5. Flash from recovery, SuperSU
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I don't want root, so:
2. Accept OTA update

If I have understood, the only thing that I have to do is use flashify to flash the OTA checker zip. file and than proceed with the OTA, right?
If there is another way to do this without use the PC, it will be great, but I don't know.
Is what I said right or I forgot something?
Thank you with your help anyway!
