My phone is Galaxy A8 !
I just found some way root my phone with simple kernel.
And it does'nt have any custom roms or Recovery to flash zip file.
I just try to flash with Flash Gordon, Rom Manager, Zip installer, Flashify...... and .....
But it can't flash zip without recovery.
I make this topic hope someone can help me find out some way.
Thank you for helping !
Use flashfire.apk
If it's a Samsung you should be able to use Odin

Hi guys,
I am pretty new to this android arena, still manage to learn few basic things, like rooting, flashing custom ROMs, updating CWM etc. I have MMX Canvas HD A116 and 2 days back MMX has released v4.2.1 for Canvas HD. Though I have also found flashable ROM of v4.2.1 but I have been thinking little differently.
1. Can we flash nonflashable ROM without recovery.img just to save our CWM means just deselect the recovery.img after loading scatter file i.e. MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc
OR
Can we use CWM v6.0.3.0.img instead of recovery.img of stock ROM so that CWM will get flashed along with the ROM?
Is it safe to do it this way or should we stick to the traditional method of first flashing it normally that is first flash the stock ROM using SP Flash Tool and then flash the Recovery image of v6.0.3.0?

Please stick on to the stock recovery while flashing. Afterwards u can flash the cwm u want!! I prefer ur second option, coz there are chances u can be stuck at bootloop!
Hit thanks rather than typing it

Means I can select CWM recovery image in place of stock recovery.img and flash with all other files of stock ROM?

Nope!! You got it in the wrong way. I meant to flash the cwm seperately! After installing ur firmware
And if u can possibly select seperate files while flashing through the sp flash tool, u can select cwm recovery instead. Don't know much on sp flash tool

One user tried my way of flashing i.e. unchecking the recovery.img and it did work, his CWM recovery is still intact. I believe flashing my way is safe, if something goes wrong, your CWM Recovery would still be intact and we can flash another ROM using CWM.

Hi
I plan on buying a new Galaxy Tab 2 and I've figured out how I plan on rooting it. I've found several guides that say you should install CF-AutoRoot via ODIN then install CWM then install custom rom. I haven't rooted an Android device before but I've viewed a ton of tutorials on how to do it.
However, I've gotten the lastest CWM build for my device on their website and created an ODIN flashable package with it. Couldn't I just flash my ODIN CWM packaged that I made then install a rom since roms come rooted or don't they?

hi
usually it's like this:
1- flash your custom recovery by odin
2- write your root file by custom recovery
or
just flash cf auto root by the stock recovery that the phone has.
it depends on your phone and your procedure you choose...

You just need to flash the cwm via Odin. Then insert the Rom you want to flash in your internal or external ad card. Access cwm recovery. Do a full data, cache, dalvic cache wipe. Then flash Rom and then gapps.
No need to root if you want to install a custom Rom coz most of it comes pre rooted.

Thank you I was just wondering that. I was confused because every tutorial I found for installing a custom ROM they always used some sort of thing to root first but logically that didn't make any sense to me. Because to install a ROM you have to wipe everything so you wouldn't have root access left. And I looked in the zip files for the rom I want to install and under xbin there was su which is the root command and saw busybox.
I don't think they come rooted

I am using SGT 2 7.0.. and forr using sensonic hd rom I need to flash twrp but I am already rooted with cwm... need help urgently... thnkx.. keep the good work goin guys...
There should be a flashable zip that you can run in cwm to install twrp.
If not you can use Odin or Mobile Odin to flash recovery.
There is a free version of mobile Odin I've used, you need to install a file but it guides you through.
Ill try to find links but I'm on my phone so if you have a PC it may be faster.

You can download the TWRP zip and install it in CWM as you do with a custom rom ("Install zip from sdcard")

I renamed built.prop and then tried to reboot my phone, but im stuck im bootloop.
Is there a way to flash the correct built.prop file back ?
First of all, why to rename build.prop? Then, just restore any nandroid backup you may have. If you dont then reflash your rom.
If you have a custom recovery you can make a flashable zip that allow you to restore your original build.prop. If not check if there's a recovery tool for your phone, if your phone is MTK you can use SP flash tool. :good:
I have stock recovery, but there is a option to flash zip from sd card.
Yes in stock recovery there's an option to flash a zip but you can't flash a custom zip, only an official zip

Ok, i will try to flash custom recovery.
Thank you for your answer.
Yes but remember that also if you flash the custom recovery you need your original build.prop
