Q Can i format /boot from CWR and be able to go into download mode?(KK4root and CWR?)

[Thatguy2007]

Hey there Xda,

I'm having an issue with my phone, whenever i install a Jelly Bean Rom(coming from CM9), 1) the lock screen is completely gone(it is checked on) 2) no notications come 3) no recent menu pops open.

I am running GB boot-loader (from KF1) and someone suggested to update to the latest.
So i would like to format everything on my cellphone (manual internal sdcard format using mount and PC) as well as formatting the /boot from CWR.


Before i go ahead and do that, i would like to make sure that it is still possible to go into download mode.


My plan is to format everything and /boot, then Odin one click to KK4 (i don't know the differences between KK4 and the others; the good or bad, does anyone know?)
Do i have to odin back to jf6 then kies it to kk4 ????

Then root the phone using something, i haven't found a simple method of rooting and installing CWR (if you know one, let me know)

Then from there flash a jelly bean kernel, reboot into recovery and flash a ROM.

What do yall think, good? bad? ugly?

any help would be appreciated.

Try flashing UCKK4 (download from the master stock collection thread) and then corn kernel. It has cwm recovery built-in. Then you should be able to flash a JB rom. If it doesn't work, first flash CM9 and then a JB rom.
