i am familiar with myphoneexplorer because I used it with SE k700i. android manager wifi has more features.
It happens. Samsung only knows how to make beautiful screen and flash disk. They are bad at making software Many of us skip kies and download 2.2.1 stock rom and flash with odin or straightaway use custom rom.

If you want to learn, I made a simple diagram/flow chart that you can start with. http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=40561771

Since the second post is still confusing, this is my attempt at a more complete guide for newbies. A pictorial diagram should be more easy to understand. Please comment and msg me for any mistake.

I have a question. If from stock 2.2 froyo is it compulsory to use odin as recommended by hardcore? Or just use CWM? (of course must rename speedmod kernel zip file to update.zip since that's the limitation of 3e recovery)



1.
What to do before Flashing
Remember that flashing is a dangerous process, be it official means using kies, odin or CWM. It is preferable to use a laptop to prevent soft brick in case of a sudden power cut during flashing. Make sure your phone is fully charges too.

1. Make sure you have 3 button combo working (download and recovery mode). If it isn't, go here for the fix.

2. backup /efs folder. This is to preserve your IMEI number.


3. Backup
- Phonebook & email: Sync with google.
- apps and data: can use Titanium Backup
- SMS and MMS: can use SMS Backup+ by Jan Berkel

2.
Go to recovery mode. How?
1. Shutdown your phone.
2. Hold volume up, home and power button simultaneously until the screen lit up.
3. Wait till you arrive to the recovery mode.

You'll see whether you have 2e or 3e mode at the top.

4.
- Flashing speedmod kernel will give you 2e recovery mode.
- Follow this link for instruction to install speedmod kernel.

3.
- Go to the sweethoney rom page
- Download either wipe or non-wipe version and store it into your sdcard
- Go to recovery mode. Choose "install zip file from sdcard" and "choose zip from sdcard". Navigate using volume rocker to your file. Use back button to select.
- Confirm the selection.
- Wait for a few minutes and you'll automatically reboot.
- Done. Enjoy your new custom rom!
