can I flash a custom ROM without root?
I mean, I only flash a cwm on my phone.

Yes. As long as you have a custom recovery installed. 'Root' is in the ROM.
In other words if the device is not rooted, but had a custom recovery installed, you can use the recovery to flash a new ROM that already has root access enabled. You don't have to have root before hand.

I have read the[GUIDE] Step by Step ROOT Nexus S via ClockworkMod Recovery image (i9023 and i9020A)....
a little comfused that it says 'You're now free to install the ROM you want.' after part 4 'root'
Must the phone be rooted before flash a rom?

No you can flash without root.

You only need to be rooted in order to use ROM Manager... If you just unlock the bootloader and flash/boot Clockwork, I believe you can flash about anything.

thanks, I think you are right......with Clockwork anything can be flashed...
Having SU and Busybox installed is helpfully with some apps that require root such as titanium backup and root explorer.

I currently have a stock, rooted, unlocked SGS3 with CWM Ver 6.0.1.2. I also have EZ Recovery installed. I'm curious about TWRP, can I install it and have multiple recoveries or are the recoveries a one at a time deal?
Thanks
There one at a time. Just flash one and test it out. Don't like it, flash another. Currently I'm enjoying CWM.

You can flash whatever recovery you want with either rom manager or ez recovery. I like the touch version of cwm recovery.
Also if you have a custom recovery you cannot receive OTA updates

If I flash TWRP, will it overwrite my current CWM? Or do I need to remove it first? Also, could I flash it from within CWM or would that break something?
Thanks

No, you can install CWM using Rom manager. You can install TWRP using GooManager (tap Menu, then install Openscriptrecovery) You can also install either through EZ Recovery if you have the img file.

You might want to update your cwm.
Hello. I am new to the HTC one x coming previously from an HTC inspire. I am with att. I followed the directions and unlocked the bootloader. I have been reading and noticed S-Off is still being worked on. I'm Confused on what my next step is to load a custom ROM. Sorry I know this has probably been answered but I'm still confused. Can I do the next set of steps without a computer and just do it from my phone? I downloaded an app called recovery manager not sure of that will help me out. Thanks for any help you guys can provide. I'm on 2.20 and 4.0.4 thanks again.

I think at that time after unlock of the bootloader you will need to install a recovery software the one we use is TWRP i would stick with 2.2.0.0 and install it thought goomanager that is avaliable though the play store.
Instructions : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1677447
To use goomanager I need to be rooted though right?I don't think I'm rooted. Farthest I have gotten so far is unlocking the bootloader. And I'm not sure what to do after that. I'm not sure if I can do the rest from my phone (which I hope I can). Thanks ks for your help.

Do you absolutely have to flash SuperSU to flash ROMs? Can you just go right from TWRP and flash a rooted ROM and be considered as "rooted"?
Thanks

You can just flash a custom ROM, which will have SuperSU or SU cooked in. Only need to flash SuperSU if you want to stay on stock ROM and have root.
you made your situation sound different. the steps i take is use my token, flash recovery, then flash a rom or supersu depending if i want a custom rom or keep using stock.

You don't have to do a permanent install of CWM. Download CWM for your device from clockworkmod.com/rommanager, install zip thorough stock recovery and CWM will replace the stock recovery temporarily. When you reboot your device, you should have your stock recovery back.
since i cant access to my odin someone had a flash-able clockworkmod works with stock recovery?? so i can install a custom rom thanks !!

You can't flash anything with the samsung recovery. Only updates. Odin is the only way.
do one simple thing! install kies from samsung website. then attach your device with your pc. it will install adb for your device! now your device will be recognised by odin!!! flash as many things u want then! be sure to close kies before flashing with odin

If you are rooted, you can download ROM manager, it will install cwm without the need of a PC, but again that's if you are already rooted.
