It seems the steps are correct, but you need cwm or twrp on your phone. I asume that if you dont know how to flash custom rom then you dont know how to flash cwm or twrp recovery either.

you flash root(supersu) when you flash the rom if it doesnt include the superuser binaries. no biggie.

All questions go on q&a... Unless:
It's a question about themes and apps
It's a question about accessories
These go in the themes and apps section or the accessories section.
All other questions go in q&a.

Well. It honestly doesn't matter if a ROM is rooted. You don't need root for a ROM. Period. All you need is recovery installed with an unlocked bootloader.
FYI its definitely rooted, but you need to read up on what root actually means.

I currently have CWM 6.0.4.5 installed. I have no problem downloading OTA updates from PA. However, when I go to install, I get a script error message regarding having the latest ROM manager update, and using CWM or TWRP.
Question (1): Should I switch to TWRP to eliminate this error message and re-enable OTA updates for PA?
Question (2): Can we start a Q&A thread for PA so that questions like this can be put in one place?

1) It has been stated numerous times in various locations that the OTA 'WILL NOT' work with CWM. CWM uses closed source recovery script methods. You need either A) TWRP or B) a CWM-based recovery (PHiLz comes to mind)
2) There already are threads dedicated to the rom in each device section for per-device issues (impossible for most users to understand difference between an issue that is device-specific (sensors are crap on Nexus 4, for example))

Thanks for the reply! For those of us under the minimum number of posts, where can we post ROM-specific questions?

just start contributing to XDA to get your posts. Aside from that some of the devices actually have a dedicated Q&A thread. Don't know if the Nexus 5 has one, I haven't seen it.
You could just use this forum section to ask your questions. If you see an actual reproducible bug with the ROM, we ask that you use the bug tracker to report it. https://paranoidandroid.atlassian.net

[Q] (Samsung Infuse) How do I install Roms that are RAR, Zip, etc.

Can anyone please post on this thread on how to install a Rom on a Samsung Infuse? I have downloaded the current ROM for it and do not know how to do it. I have found some directions on YouTube but to no avail. This would help others.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318160
And this belongs in the Questions section.
What ROMs are you referring to exactly? All custom ROMs are flashable through CWM recovery. The "official" gingerbread leaks from przekret are only flashable through Odin or Heimdall. Directions for both of these methods already exists in infuse general and infuse q&a sections. I would suggest a google search with something like this:
Code:
site:xda-developers.com samsung infuse how to install ROM via Odin
It'll tell google to ONLY search xda-developers.com for your search term. The xda search sucks (IMO).
yo have to root the phone and have CWM instaled then you can flash what you want....and this is not a development question...please post in right section
I know but seemed like I wasnt getting a good response so I decided to quickly ask here.
I am referring to SGH-I997_I997UCKL2_UC_ATT.RAR
I promise I will remove soon and put in the correct section to help others with similar question.
I do not have rooted phone so I downloaded the ROM that was non-rooted

If that is the leak from prezkret thread, you'll need to extract the rar and there should be a tar.md5 in there (if memory serves). You will need to use Odin to flash this on your device so being rooted is not necessary. Put your phone into download mode, connect it to your pc, fire up odin and put the tar.md5 that is within this rar into the pda slot. That's all you'll need to do.
there is a tar.md5 this really helps. thankyou

So, because you were impatient, you felt a need to break the rules of this forum and post in a section you are explicitly not suppost to post new threads in unless the thread is for something YOU have created?
What makes you think you are so special and are allowed to break the rules?
Also, I just looked through your posting history - you didn't even TRY to post in Q&A.

I think since you posted this question here and by some of the things you have said, you should wait on doing anything to your phone. I'm not trying to be mean but you really don't seem like you know what you are doing and that you need to do some research first. If not you'll have another post asking how to unbrick your phone. Do some reading.

That I'd what I did. I read all of the instructions from every rom thread and then hung out on IRC before I even attempted to flash a ROM
I still bricked it a few times, even partially broke download mode
Plenty of information on this forum to help you. All you need to do is search.

[Q] Root One S

Sorry if i'm posting in the wrong place. It won't let me post in the developer section.
I rooted my One X back in March and decided to switch to the One S because the One X is a bit big for my little hands.
I have followed the root instruction, unlocked bootloads without any problems but when i flash CWM it say its been successful but it won't boot when into to recovery. Instead I get a message at the top saying loading recovery and a message at the bottom saying something about being an android device and i shouldn't be doing what i'm doing.
Has anyone else had this problem, or does anyone know what I might be able to try to resolve this issue?
Thanks in advance for all your help.
Don't use CWM it hasnt been support for a long time, instead use TWRP so so so much better.

Still not sure if this is to do with the 10 post rule or not.
Devs have a choice of allowing users under 10 posts to post in the dev threads now. But if they dont allow it, the user gets sent to q&a and the Dev PM's about the new thread.
I just wouldn't expect the thread to look like this. It's not clear that this is related to the 10 post rule. It reads as if a dev has turned on a general "q&a" thread instead.
Also if it is 10 post rule, is there a new thread for each under 10 poster trying to ask a question or will they all get sent to 1 this one thread?

Are you sure you are using the correct radio? If you just got it, chances are it might still be on a old version.
Flash the latest official version or the official Dev preview to get the latest boot loader and radio.
Also you can unlock and lock your boot loader in minutes

[Q] Hot to upgrade a fully encrypted cyanogen OS to cyanogenmod

when i try to install one of the nightlies to my unlocked and rooted oneplus one through twrp i allways get error messages about ext4...
I think this is related to the fact, that it is fully encrypted - so the question is - is a cross upgrade possible with encryption enabled?
if yes - how to do it?
if no - what to do?
