I don't think there is a way. It's faster and easier to backup apps + data to the sd card ( not internal storage) and reflash.
You need to flash back to stock to remove CWM recovery.
Here's a link to the message thread with links and directions. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1104093
If you have a WiFi only Streak be sure to read starting with message 30 for the links and directions to get back to stock. I used this method and it works great.
As was already stated be sure to back up to the SD card before starting as your internal storage will be replaced with stock images.
I have installed cwm on my friends phone (galaxy mini) via odin. When i booted into recovery it said he couldn't mount /cache/recovery. So i installed root explorer on his phone and i saw there are no files in that folder! In my phone there is a file... so i was wondering if someone has installed cwm (i believe it was 5.2.7) and knows how to solve this. Maybe i could try using this file of someone else with same recovery.
Long story short: does anybody know a solution or does anybody wants to upload this file?
Sorry for bad english if i made any mistakes

simple way is to download file and usb to phone, the zip file. Do Not unzip it.

stock?
Dont use CWM on stock if u dont want to flash rom
It will give problem
Well... first i had tried installed cwm using a normal .zip file. Same problem. Then was when i actually installed via odin. After that i gave up and asked for help here. So i think it isnt the fould of the recovery. So could anyone upload the file in the next location, just to try : /cache/recovery
So i can put the file inside this folder and maybe it will work again.

Dont use custom recovery on stock, if you want install custom rom, just wipe data/cache and it will mount system, data
So i shouldn't use cwm to install rom? Indeed, installing a new rom is the goal

never flashed single file via odin before. i think i just need to deselect one package. but what kind of thing is it.. boot, phone, pda, csc or efs?
or do i need to select one package and just chose a .ops file i use on an other recovery?

don't worry error in mounting cache is normal, you can use it safely for installing and wiping
However also in the my stock recovery give a error in the cache partition but to me give the error of unmounting, says unmount(/cache); attempt 1 unknow error=0 rc=0, and later i must and will inform about this error.

NANDROID ? Don't use stock recovery. Don't make nandroid backup for stock rom.
so how should i flash cwm recovery .
and which recovery is best suited for nandroid backups and comptability with all apps.
does it necessarily require me to install custom roms.

I am in same situation with a GT-S5570, it has stock rom and is rooted. I downloaded Clockwork Manager to it's SD card.
Then from stock Recovery manager I tried to install CWM from sd card. The screen got distorted and graphic looked awful.
Had to reboot and nothing got installed.
Tried Odin but it won't recognize my phone while in Downloading mode.
I want to install Cyanogenmod 10.1 Android 4.2........any ideas? I guess I need somekind of backup first, if I mess up and need to reinstall stock? Hard to do with stock recovery mode though.

At least, you must backup your apps. In case you unable to backup your stock rom.

Apps can always be reinstalled in no time I think, problem is I can't install CWM from stock recovery, when selecting update from sd/zip or whatever it says, I pick the CWM file on my SD-card.
Then the graphic gets messed up and I can no longer see the menu clear.

before you flash cwm make sure its in the root directory of your sdcard... . So to say sd root is to say the topmost folder on the sdcard, which is just on the sd and not in a folder.
without getting odin recognize your Mobile you should not flash anything as if you get in any trouble it would be easy for you to flash the stock rom
and best and safest method to flash cwmr is to flash it through odin
you cannot backup stock rom with cwm recovery only custom one's can be backed up
to backup apps and data you should use titanium backup
Hi,
I need a bit of help on an accident I had.
I have a Galaxy S with the [AOSP][4.2.2][UNOFFICIAL] SuperNexus 2.0 - I90 rom, but somehow I made a mistake and ended up erasing the internal sd card storage so now my phone doesn't work (it's stuck at the rom boot logo). I tried to install the rom again using an external sd but couldn't do it. Is there anyway for me to get my phone up and running again?
Thanks!

You could try falshing with Odin on 2.3.6 again and then flash back to 4.x
With download modus that should work.
But no promisses
Go to download mod using 3 botton combo and flash 2.3.6 GB with Odin ;and come back to jb surly it will work.

Actually I found out, a bit by accident, that in recovery if we go to mounts and storage and mount the usb storage the computer recognizes the phone's internal mem and allows to copy stuff in it. I managed to copy the rom back on the phone again and I'm now installing it again.
Anyways, thank you all for the tips
Happy for you and good lac;story for my bad English!!!

Can you please help me on this one? Yesterday i updated my nightly cm11 to the newest version. I didn't backup any of my data. It booted normally and i tried to restore my old Android-ID via Titanium, but suddenly my phone restarted and after retrying to restore the ID again, it didn't work and it said, it couldn't find any old ID in the setting storage. I remembered that i have some older Titanium Backups on my laptop and after it failed again with the new added backups, i tried to restore the whole setting storage in apps list in Titanium. At first, it didn't showed any effect so i tried to reboot it and now i'm stucked on a loop. I can't flash the rom, because i deleted the rom from my sd card to get more storage.
TL; DR: How can you get access on your sd by using recovery? If i plug my phone via usb, it shows me my 2 sd cards, but i can't open them. (when i mount usb storage, the 2 sd cards on my laptop just disappear)

You might have to try on another pc/laptop. You should be able to access them in recovery if you mount storage (sd).

Have you tried clean flashing? If it doesn't work, you'll most likely have to flash stock kk4 without bootloaders and start fresh from there.

Since it was getting worse and worse (i tried to apply an old cm10 backup via cm), i wasn't even able to get into recovery mode. I flashed stock kk4 with odin but now it won't let me get to usb storage: Seconds after i plug my phonevia usb just to load or to load sth on my sd card, my phone shuts down and the green loading bar appears until a new reboot starts into the green bar etc...
Is this a common bug? I searched in the forums, but couldn't find this kind of.
I guess i have some weird mount/unmount problems since i even wasn't able to get into mass storage via recovery beforehand when i had the bootloop. And the strange thing now is, that odin didn't formatted my sd card (i still got my music and stuff)

Odin doesn't format your sd card anymore.
I'm not so sure about the bug you're having. Feels like your internal might be dead but that would mean no recovery too. Do you have a external sd in?

I doubt it will make a difference but you'll have to flash corn kernel using Odin. From there, follow the full rom instructions. there's also a flashing guide in the stickies.

You don't have to use superoneclick.
I'd suggest you try speedmod kernel then and boot directly in recovery.

I was able to get into recovery with speedmod kernel, but a normal boot wasn't possible, just stucked at the galaxy s screen. After root and a full wipe, i couldn't flash a rom (cm11) due getting status 0 error.
Ok i flashed cm9 and this one is completely fine. No more usb issues also. I flashed cm11 and it seems fine. I hope it will stay that way. Thank you very much for caring.
I have one more question. One thing that is very frustrating is to lose all your customized data and settings with flashing. Since messing around with titanium lead me to this problem i want to know what's your favorite backup tool? Will a normal backup via recovery save ur apps and settings?

You can restore your apps data with titanium, just don't restore system apps.
