Sorry for being such a noob...
open up ROM manager and should be first thing u can click says;
Flash clockworkmod recovery
Thanks for helping you 2!
is any kind of rooting fine or do i HAVE to use to root method(link) that you provided me?
there are 2 main popular methods for rooting, the gfree method, which is what he posted, and the root.sh method, which is what i used below. i dont know which is better/worse but i found the root.sh method to be a little easier
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858021
Yes definitely try the root.sh method first, if that doesn't work try the gfree method...just make sure u read up on adb first.

Step one ) First thing you need to do is read, study and understand 100% what rooting ones phone truly is and how it's done. And what can happen if you are not careful.
Step Two ) repeat step one
Step Three ) See Step One
Step Four ) get ADB up and running ( see my signature )
Step Five ) See Step one
Step Six ) decide if you want to risk it [ see This Thread ]
Step Seven ) Root your phone (see my signature )
Step eight ) make sure you have the engineering screen installed along with rooting the phone
step nine ) install the recovery image via hBoot
Step ten ) download > wipe > flash the ROM.
Thanks for all your help. Im installing it now and it seems to going fine. Thanks :d:ddd:d:d:d:d:d:d:d:d:d

First off let me just say I wanted to post this in the thread but it said I haven't met some kind of requirement to post yet.
My question is I have read about rooting etc etc but being that this is my first time I didnt want to screw up so because Kaos's leak is pre rooted do I need to still root my phone or will this do it for me?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
No, the ROM is pre-rooted already so you don't need to root once installed.
However, the ROM is installed through Clockwork Recovery, so that means that you need to have ROM Manager and Clockwork Recover Mod installed, which, will require that your phone is rooted..
You can find the threads in this forum that show you how to install all that..
When using ODIN, be sure to use "PDA" and not "Phone".. if you use Phone, you will end up with a paper weight...
Good luck!
You need to root your phone first
will not be able to install
Thanks!!!

How do I root a fascinate when it's on 2.1 update 1?
I believe you can flash CWM via download mode w/ Odin, and then flash the 2.2 leak+kernel with that, so technically you don't need to be rooted to install this, provided you have access to the proper equipment.
SOrry this is a duplication. I asked in another thread but was stepped on by VooDoos and such.
I have a stock rom. It USED to show as DI01. I did figure out how to root it, and just now noticed that it is showing as DH12 (baseband version AND build number), no longer DI01.
So, I need to update it first, before I can install DL30, correct?
I have a DL09.tar.tar file.
I have ODIN3.exe.
I have the DL30-leak.zip.
I have no clue what a CWM is or how to use/install it.
Where can I find the steps to get me to DL30?
Thanks.

Waw. OK. If you are on a plain DH12 with no Clockwork Mod Recovery installed, then you need to do a lot of steps. I'm just going to give you a high level overview and not going into details. You find the details and make sure you understand.
1. Make sure you install USB drivers and that your computer can see your phone when plugged in.
2. Install ODIN in your computer
3. Use ODIN to flash the DL09.tar via PDA! (Very important!)
4. Once you are on DL09. Get the CWMRecovery_DJ05_DL09.tar from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913470 and flash with ODIN via PDA. (never on Phone)
5. Get also the update.zip from that thread and put it in the root of your SD card.
6. Then go to Market and get ROM Manager, then install Clockwork Recovery through ROM Manager.
7. Now to install DL30: (look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=937499)
a. Get the "New" CWM .zip file and put it in your SD card.
b. Put the DL30.zip in your SDCard.
c. Boot into CW Recovery mode from ROM Manager, you should see the Green Clockwork Recovery mode.
d. Apply the new CWM .zip via "choose .zip from SD card"
e. Apply the DL30.zip same way.
f. Wipe data, cache and Devilk cache (in the Advanced menu).
g. Reboot.. and voila !
Lean how to use CWM first (how to navigate, etc).. Good luck!

I have rooted and flashed recoveries to my fair share of Android phones, but all have slightly different methods, my friend recently bought a GT540 and wants to update to atleast Android 2.2 so he can install apps to his SD card since his internal storage is full, he doesn't know much about Android and I suggested that I will take his phone and root etc and put either 2.2 or 2.3 on it for him, I have seen the ROMs available and thats all fine and dandy but need a root guide and flashing recovery guide please.
Thanks in advance.
for rooting download z4root, search in google. recovery.img look here. and for flashing it download my app, Root Toolbox below. place the recovery.img in the root of you sdcard and rename it recovery.img(/sdcard/recovery.img). go into advanced and click flash recovery. wait a few seconds and it will be done. go to the reboot menu and click reboot recovery. you may need to unlock it first by flashing a fastboot rom with kdz updater, not shore though.
hello guys finally i haved rooted my device now can u plz help in installing a custom rom ?? i have downloaded two custom roms
1- Cognition S2
2- MIUI - 1.8.5
and i want to install miui rom on my sgs2 but there the guide for that present in that thread is very hard im hardly getting anything
so plz can u guys guide me ? also i have attached some pics so as to confirm from u guys that my device is rooted
You will get much better description in the first post in the specific ROM's thread than by a random guy in this thread. Choose a ROM with a guide that you understand for your first ROM-flashing.

No I will not guide you since I haven't flashed any ROM on SGS2 yet (I've rooted though), it would be irresponsible by me.
But Cognition ROM has a simple straight forward description, if you don't get it then you need to search/ask specifically for the things you don't get.
If you can't understand these simple instructions, you shouldn't be flashing custom ROMs.

yes, or use ODIN to do that from your computer
Copy your downloaded Rom onto your SD card.
Switch off your phone.
Hold Volume Up, Home and Power buttons at the same time until you reach the CWM screen (as seen in the link above, )
Select Wipe Date/Factory Reset then Wipe Cache then Install Zip from SD card.
Then Reboot and wait for the Rom to load.

1: -Install ClockWorkMod (if you didn't previously)
2: -Download and save the custom ROM's.zip file to SD card
3: -Enter CWM recovery
4: -do Factory Reset
5: -do wipe dalvik cache in advanced menu
6: -go to "install update from .zip"
7: -select the .zip file from SD card and install it
8: -reboot phone
Thats the standard procedure, but usually you can find installation instructions in each ROM's thread....
Happy flashing!

I'm having trouble with cell reception there isalmost no signal, will installing baseband switcher help ?
Yes, you can try switching baseband to your region, and also try more radio version, because sometimes newest version can give you poorer signal than older versions.

Ok I'm facing another problem it is not detecting my sd card says external storage not available ?
Edit : It shows up when i disconnect my device from usb weird.
When you connect USB to phone, you can select what type of connection it should establish from the notification tray. If you have "data storage" selected, then the sd card will be only visible for the computer you are connected to.

lol. Heres a basic guide.
Do you have a recovery installed? If not download the apk form 4ext.net and install then open. Then install the recovery. Then go to bootloader and pick recovery.
Download the rom, copy it to your sd card (pick usb mount in 4ext and plug in your phone to the computer)
Wipe ALL your data from recovery
Pick install --> install from sdcard --> find the rom and press ok.
Have fun.

uhm sorry i got confused maybe i did something wrong but when i went to bootloader if wont let me go down to recovery and started updating but it failed so then it let me pick recovery but then it showed a phone and warning triangle on top of it and dont know where to go from there >.>
and 4ext is not free anymore >.>
Yes 4ext has a free version but you have to download from here --> http://www.4ext.net/get.php?apk
Install the apk and recovery
Remove the update from your sdcard.
Then boot into bootloader then recovery
You are s-off right?
yes i am on s-off and here's the problem actually now
when i tried to do the bootloader part i didnt actually have recovery yet
now when i tried installing recovery it showed me this: (attached file)
I might have accidentally removed the busybox thingy coz i dont see the superuser icon at the applications anymore
here is an pd15img of cwm recovery and hboot,this is the best pack for noobs,though i removed radio from it,cause file was 15mb.non need for root just s-off and you are good to go flashing right away
