Does flashing the stock rom also flash the stock recovery? If not is there any way to tell whether i have clockworkmod recovery flashed without the screen working?
It does give you the stock recovery

You could try extracting the boot.img from you custom rom, placing it in your adb folder, then flash the boot image all by itself with TWRP. That has pulled me out of bootloops....
Hello everybody! I have a problem: I wanted to install custom ROM via Safestrap 3.71. I made all the wipe. But at the end of the installation, I get an error: set_metadata_recursive some changes failed. And so in each ROM. After that, ROM does not load: black screen after the logo Samung Custom. How to deal with this?

Was it a true custom ROM? Or was it a modified stock ROM?
If it was a custom ROM such as Cyanogenmod or LineageOS, that's the problem.
Safestrap is intended to be used with modified stock ROMs that are based on stock kernel, not CM, AOSP or Lineage based ROMs.
Typically, Safestrap is used on devices with locked bootloader, these devices can't use CM, AOSP or Lineage based ROMs, these ROMs are built to be flashed via custom recovery such as TWRP.
If you have an unlocked bootloader and you want to use custom ROMs then you'll have to flash TWRP then use TWRP to flash the ROM.
If your device does not have an unlocked bootloader but you want to use Safestrap then you need to install TouchWiz(TW)/stock based ROMs.
There is a difference.
Also, when using Safestrap, you have to leave the stock rom in one slot and place the new ROM in a different slot. You can't overwrite the existing stock ROM with the new ROM, that causes issues and the device won't boot.
You will probably have to flash your stock firmware via Odin and start over with root and flashing.

I was flashing the modified ROM on the stock kernel. I put in the recovery on slot-rom1. I tried to flash: CarHD, KushanROM, GOLDENEYE and Omega. And still it does not work out

Do you still have your original stock ROM in one of the slots? Or did you overwrite it? If you overwrite it, you messed up. As stated earlier, you'll probably have to flash the original stock firmware via Odin.

The stock slot remained intact. But if I take the kernel from OC3, then the device will also not boot up and the recovery will become non-working.
Send me the stock ROM for flashed the custom ROM through the Safestrap. And send me the version of the Safestrap for custom ROM
I understood what the problem is. I installed another ROM NB1 and it all worked for me.
I have the Samsung model number gt-p7500R. It's gotten very very slow and I can't update past android 4.0.4. I can't even get most apps because of the Android version. How can I update to a newer android version and maybe help the speed a bit?
Find a Custom Recovery ( like CWM and /or TWRP ) and find a Custom Rom, both suitable to the phone.
Once both found, flash the Custom Recovery and if successful then from within the Custom Recovery flash the Custom ROM.

I'm pretty new and don't know how to do what you suggested. Is there a forum post with step by step instructions?

You should find a custom rom which is properly ported for your device. Otherwise won't work.
