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

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.

G3mod only supports android 2.2 and 2.3.
And I recommend to flash kyorarom when version 5 is released as it has some awesome never before seen features.

Wouldn't recommend ICS as it is only the first test build and not much is working right now.

[ICS] How to downgrade kernel

Guys, I've been using iBluemind's BlueKernel II for ICS, which is based in Linux version 3.0.62.
I want to try another kernel based in Linux 3.0.21, and I can't.
Flashing any 3.0.21 kernels makes my phone stay an LG gray logo at boot, system just won't start!
What should be done to allow that downgrade?

Try to reinstall the rom and then flash some other kernel.

Actually, I did the opposite, and it worked.
First flashed new (3.0.21) kernel, then flashed the rom.
Thanks!

So rom came with that version of kernel because flashing rom overwrites kernel files.

I don't think so, flashing the rom kept de kernel I flashed before.

Boot.img flash qustion

Hello I just got the one s I have rooted and s-off. I have seen that you have to flash the kernel (boot.img) via fastboot or use the flash img Gui app witch extracts the kernel from the Rom .zip and instals then you install the Rom after. Witch I have done with the cm 10.1 and the viper rom. qustion is do I even need to worry about flashing the boot.img if I am s-off? Thanks for the help in advance.

No you don't need to use flash image GUI or fast boot, just flash a ROM straight from recovery

Can you be a little more specific please? If I have cwm already, can I flash twrp over it without problems? Where do I fix permissions? Tnx in advance.

I haven't tried to flash twrp over cwm so I'm not sure. Fix Permissions is located inside of the "Advanced" tab on twrp.

Hi guys! I had the same problem, and I had tried everthing that you have mentioned here and nothing worked.
I was coming from stock KitKat and the only solution for me was to go back to stock JB: follow this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219
and you'll see that it will solve your problem.
After I did that I was able to flash CM11, SlimKat and another couple of ROMs
I hope that it helps,
-Z-

Please give me help and advice!

I've been having issues with CWM and Philz Recovery. CWM backs up not always fails to restore /data and Philz doesn't even backup /Data and stops the processes. TWRP does back up. And restores perfectly.
Are these known issues?
Also what's the best kernel for stock KitKat?
Sent from my XT1032 using XDA Free mobile app

I don't know how to fix this issues with the recoveries...
Btw, if u want performance, flash the faux123 kernel, but if u want battery saving, flash the Aero Kernel.
I'm using Aero right now, and it's the best in my opinion
