Hi! Noob here, just wanna ask some questions.
Is rooting different with flashing a custom recovery, or do when we root we automatically installs custom recovery to our device?
And if I am rooting my phone using Framaroot, does it install a custom recovery to my device? Thanks
-----
UPDATE: Have been figured this out. So, Rooting doesnt mean installing a custom recovery.

So, I'm installing an custom rom for the 1st time.
So, my phone and other details;
Samsung Galaxy S Plus
Android 2.3.5 Stock
SIM-Locked.
Wanting this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2315448
I know I lose the warranty, but i dont really care as there is like 2-3 months left.
I have some big questions, as im a noob!
1) Can being SIM-Locked cause any problems?
2) I read, that you don't have to root to install it.
3) How do I install it? I know something about root/Custom ROM's, but no idea about kernels/recoverys. Full tutorial if possible!
You need to install CWM recovery because You can flash new roms through it.. And for install CWM. You must have a rooted device. So Do this before installing any rom. Make sure You install rom of ur own device.

Hi!
Been using ROMs and root for a while on my S3, but since I lost it Im back to an old htc wildfire s. Ive installed a custom ROM(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735775&nocache=1), but it is unrooted. Standard rooting methods do not seem to work, how would one go about rooting a custom ROM?
Hola, if you have a custom rom installed, i guess you have unlocked it. Maybe you dont have superuser installed, i guess?
What root method did you use?
And you can try to flash the superuser binary (http://androidsu.com/superuser/)
Hope it will it, reply back if you need more help
Thanks, flashing superuser worked
Ho, I wanted to install on my galaxy wonder (gt-1185) CM12 (with this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...cyanogenmod-12-0-20141230-unofficial-t2988830). I installed CMW as the guide says but my phone isn't rooted. Can I continue to install CM12 without root? Id no, how i root my phone with the new recovery (CMW)
IN CWM, typically there is an Option to Root the Device. Either way, you can proceed with Installing CM as the Guide indicates.
If you do want to Root, please review [GUIDE] Rooting, ClockworkMod and Custom ROMs...an A to Z for beginners
Hi all
I am keen in android dev, but we all need to start somewhere
I have been searching and as my title suggests, all I have found are superuser.zips and rooted roms
for the android devs and rom chefs,
how do I take stock firmware, either as:
a .tar.md5 or
a twrp/cwm recovery backup
and root it?
reason for asking, (although I dont indend this as a specific model issue), I recently restored my Samsung Note LTE to stock JB, then installed CWM and then flashed the superuser.zip, but I didnt get root, installed twrp then su, still no root,
so im thinking either rooting the stock tar.md5 or rooting the recovery backup, might solve the problem
Hey guys, Does anyone have a good link to a detailed easy to follow tutorial on how to root and use CustomROMS plus how to install customs recovery. The last time I tried, My phone bricked.
Hi, try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/guide-rootrecovery-how-to-root-install-t3017056.
Once rooted, you can easily install custom recovery and then custom rom.
