cwm is based on ur kernel.

with stock kernel then of course there isn't any custom recovery.

you gotta flash a kernel with custom recovery.

Guys, I read that there is a counter for when flashing stuff on the phone, and that the only way to remove the counter (and the yellow triangle when using unofficial firmware) is to use a certain usb jig.
Is this true?

Also, is it necessary to reset the counter before sending the phonew for warranty or will just unrooting do the trick.

Sorry for the questions.

You're already using a kernel that includes root components. why would you need CF-Root?

ninphetamine already has root access.

Did you click allow when the super user prompt came up when you first ran titanium?

Check whether you have "Superuser" in your app list.

if not just flash nimphetanime 2.05 again and it should be fine.

you need a kernel with root to use cwm.

if you want to remove the yellow triangle + root, then use a jig.

get it off ebay.

ninph kernel is not rooted leh.
if you go from stock to ninph through odin, your phone stays unrooted.
