Hi
I want to install a custom rom, however they say at the next custom rom: Install via recovery!
They mean the same here as how you would install the following custom rom:
So http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1673489
through Backup and Restore and then choose Restore.
Or they mean that you have to look to the .zip file on your SD, so as the next method.
what they mean exactly with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1786871
So in a nutshell what they mean exactly with: install via recovery!?
Thanks

On the sticky thread there is a link for cwm thread, however I'm not quite sure which filesystem to choose, I'm going to install through recovery, seems safer for me. I want to install cwm for 2 purposes, first I'm planning to backup my stock rom so that I can always flash it back if I need my warranty and second I'm planning to flash cm9 to my phone. I'm not quite sure what is the diffrence between rfs and ext4 is Currently I'm on 2.2.1 stock rom.
Actually I found the proper version of CWM to install here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1414173
But I can't apply it, when I enter recovery mode the options I have are:
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe chace parition
Pheraps I should rename the zip file I downloaded to update.zip? I can't select any other zip from the sd card and if I press "apply sdcard:update.zip" it searches for update.zip and fails to find it.

This is the log I get when I click apply sdcard:update.zip:
-- Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip
(No such file or directory)
Installation aborted.
Because the name of the zip is just not update.zip.
1.first copy the zip to the root of sdcard
rename the zip to update.zip and install as instructed

I flashed it but I can't seem to be able to enter to recovery now, power+home buttons just keep me on the samsung logo (not the flashing one, the first one) my phone works but just can't enter to recovery. When I flashed it, it seemed to work, but I don't know why I can't enter
Mates you have to help me!!! I ordered an order to reboot into recovery from rom manager and my device doesn't start now, I know it was stupid but I'm not sure what to do now, I can get it to download mode and to the first samsung logo but not past it

First you have to root and format to ext4, before installing CWM.
Download mode, remove battery, insert battery, press power, home, volume down, at the same time.

You need to use CWM recovery. Stock recovery have very few options
