hi guys , I have a penta is701c which I have rooted successfully.
I want to install a rom and for that I downloaded clockworkmod rom manager but it says that I need to setup a "custom recovery"
when I clicked on "install or update recovery", it said my device is not supportd and asked if I had installed a cwm based recovery manually
what do I do now?
ps: when I clicked yes it asked me which version - 2x + or 3x + so didn't know wat to do ..

custom recoveries are the base for rooting and installing custom roms. I am quite surprised by how you managed to root successfully without installing a custom recovery.
My kind advice dont do anything without proper knowledge.
U can find clockworkmod recovery on the playstore
u can find all ur answers here in the xda forums
so read well before u flash
no dude , I got the cwm rom manage from the play store.. the trouble comes when I try to set up "custom recovery".. the thing is , cwm doesn't support my device and it requires me to manually install a cwm based recovery.. which I don't know how to do.. so any instructions on how to do that (or some alternative to cwm ) would be really helpful
thanks

then try installing the latest version suggested by the rom mangaer.
You could also try the twrp recovery. These recoveries support the rom manager
hope i helped

yu require cwm for installing roms bro...
roms are flashd through cwm
I have a rooted S-7500, with CWM recovery 5.0.2.8 installed. I (by mistake) allowed the 'software update' option to install a system update(or something) today by mistake (I know, you should never install system updates after rooting. My bad.) Since then, the phone directly goes to the cwm recovery mode on powering on, and i am unable to do anything else
I am not very well versed with the finer details of rooting bootloader recovery n all...so pls some details with steps...if possible .
Any help whatsoever...please I will be really grateful

Thanks!!! It totally worked!
Just a clarification...now that i have got the stock rom back on my phone...am i right in saying that I have lost root access, my phone is totally back to the 'original' state, and i have lost CWM as well? Please correct me if I am wrong.
And assuming that I am correct(above), I would like to re-root my device(need to use proxydroid to surf internet over the damned proxy server!). So..can I follow the standard method, ie, can I do it the same way I had done before, or do i need to do something different now?
And once again...THANK YOU for your help! I had ended up hard bricking my previous phone, and was really scared when this happend to my aceP. You saved me!
Easy way to ROOT your SGAP
Yes by the time you flash stock rom you loss root even any custom recovery you flashed before...
but now if you want to root your SGAP again don't follow that guide again which you done before just follow this :
Download ODIN from Downloading link below (inside ODIN software folder)
Download any one recovery which you like TWRAP / CWM v5.5 (inside Custom recovery folder)
Download Root_SGAP.zip from Root folder & place that zip inside in your sd card
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Download Link : GALAXY Ace Plus - Basic stuff
FOR Custom_Recovery :
Open odin, be sure your system has already install drivers & if kies is there close it.
extract recovery zip
connect device to pc in download mod (vol down + power + home) & select that (recovery) .md5 file in pda section inside ODIN software
Click start & wait to reboot device
FOR ROOT :
Now boot device in CWM mod ( vol up + down + power + home)
choose zip from sd card & select Root_SGAP.zip
DONE.

you've successfully ROOT & flash custom recovery on your device by just few simple steps
Just 1 more qstn...is it necessary to apply a custom recovery before rooting? If no, is it recommended?? Because the last time i rooted, it made me put a custom recovery before rooting.

if you are going to stick on stock rom forever & only want to root device then stock recovery is ok for you...
but while dealing with custom roms, custom recoveries are smart choice.
it has lot of additional options than stock recovery.
so my opinion yes use custom recovery
Stuck in boot loop
Got stuck in boot loop after performing the steps. I was running this ROM.
Had to reinstall the ROM. I'm sure there's something I didn't understand or something I did wrong. I'd be thankful if anyone could point it out.
Thanks in advance.

Hello there! I just flashed ArchiDroid V2.3.4 in my Galaxy S III. When flashing ended I selected reboot now. But my phone only reboots in recovery mode (phiilz touch 4 CWM Base Version: 6.0.3.1). I tried to reboot my phone from the recovery mode but still the same problem. I tried to remove the battery and try again but still the same problem. Can you give me a solution to this cause I don't know what to do... Thanks!

hmmm well i dont know what to say to that but thats what i have heard with kit kat roms, i have looked on CWMs website and almost all of the galaxys s3s (discluding the s3 mini and international i think) have 6.0.4.X so i would try the specific one for you on Rom manager when you get a rom Working.
I Just installed HellKat 4.4 on my galaxy S3.
The only way this would work is to get my CWM to 6.0.4 just like Trozzul suggested.
The way I did it is to find ODIN pro/lite (MobileODINLite-v4.00.apk)
Then use that to install the CWM.img.
The HellKat 4.4 would not install with CWM 6.0.1
Hope this helps

Dude root your device first and then install CWM Recovery and then use the CWM Recovery to flash whichever ROM(for your device only) you have.

No your link is for higher version of Android, i mean it is for Android 4.3 or later and these versions have not come yet. Although CM11 is out but it is beta version. So better you download BUILD 2 from the following link.

Flash latest TWRP recovery from @Android-Andi's thread using Odin or Heimdall.
Boot into recovery, do a full wipe, and flash a custom ROMs.
Most (if not all) KitKat or Lollipop ROMs come pre-rooted. If they do not appear to be, go into developer settings and change 'Root Access' from 'None' to 'Apps & ADB'.
Have a great night!
Thanks I will try it and notify you!

No, you want the P5110 for the P5113. Use the latest .tar.md5 from https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=25708
