Hi,
I installed CWM recovery 5.0.2.6. after installing it i found out that installing a custom rom will void my warranty. I couldn't find the stock rom i had in my Galaxy Mini on Web. It is S5570XWKQ5.
Is there a way to uninstall CWM recovery without flashing another rom ? Can you please help me in detail because i am quite a noob in these matters.
Regards,
Please help
If it is not possible to uninstalll, can you please tell me how if it is possible to downgrade to Clockwork Mod Recovery v4.0.0.5. And how can i do that ? I am sorry about being urgent about this but i am really stucked.
To remove CWM you can delete /system/bin/hijack and /system/bin/logwrapper
Then rename /system/bin/logwrapper.bin to /system/bin/logwrapper.
At least this is how it was on froyo. will probably hold true for GB.
I guess had to say this, i haven't flashed or rooted my phone with a custom rom. My version is 2.3.4 and i couldn't find any hijack on /system/bin
I used ES Explorer to delete logwrapper.bin but couldn't manage to do it. I guess that is because it is not rooted so ES Explorer can't work as Root Explorer.

Just. flash your rom with original GB firmware using ODIN and then you will get stock recovery. If you know your rom details download one from sammobile.com and then falsh it using ODin.
I know that it is possible to get back the stock recovery by flashing it with my current rom.
But problem the problem is this my current rom does not exist online. It is the turkish rom and you can only find it by going to the technical service and paying a certain amount.
So i have to do this w/o getting installed a stock rom.

Then I guess you will have to do so OR, just stay with CWM recovery installed on your device.
I don't want to pay 30$ for just a single rom flashing.
Is it possible to backup my current rom and then flash a custom rom with cwm 5.0.2.6 without getting bricked.
Worst case scenerio if would have bricked the thing could i restore the backup i would have had or flash a custom rom.
Please help me yagya. I came to this point by not reading carefully your cwm installing guide.(noticed the 5.0.2.6 warning but it was too late) i am not blaming or anything just aiming your conscience.

So, you mean to tell you have CWM v5.0.2.6 and you want to get rid of it just because you saw a warning on my post.... If yes, then don't worry, CWM v5.0.2.6 works fine (at least for me). Try for yourself. But, since many other complained to me about flashing error with latest CWM I included the warning.
However, If it doesn't work OR if you want to go back to CWM v4.0.0.5, simply flash the CWM v4.0.0.5 from Odin using One package option. You will get CWM v4.0.0.5 on your device.
Also, downgrading to stock recovery if you are using custom rom is not recommended. Just flash older CWM recovery and everything will be fine. If you need any help follow the link on my signature.
I hope I understood your problem and it will help you. If I am wrong please correct me.

you only have 1 possibility.reflash your kernel andyour rom,use wotan server,i hope that they bring software to flash samsung and sony ericsson smarphones,flash with it and this must erase cwm

Hello,
I've searched here and there more and more before asking this question, but I didn't find an answer.
what does odin do in my mobile? How does it flash the ROMs?
I ask this question because I haven't and don't like windows. I use linux and want to flash ROMs.
Second thing: can I flash ROMs and CWM from the phone itself without odin? (ROM Manager couldn't recognize my GSM phone), I want to know the way.

Hi There,
Not quite sure if there is a non-windows version of Odin. You can flash ROMs later on without Odin but you will need it to install stock firmware, e.g. upgrade to higher version, Froyo to GB 2.3.4 to 2.3.5 to 2.3.6.. And you will need it also to flash the ClockWorkMod recovery which is specialized for flashing custom ROMs. Check this post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17400158&postcount=1
I am not forcing you to update your firmware. Just have a look on what Odin does as shown on the pix.
DO NOT use ROM manager as it is known to brick our phones. We already have a lot of cases here wherein users played around with ROM manager and bricked their phone.. Your lucky it did not do any damage on your phone.
Anyway, maybe there is a way for virtual boxes to run windows on linux? not quite sure on how others do it though..
"A Thanks a day, keeps the trouble away.."
First: I have already upgraded firmware to GB 2.3.4 Arabic version via odin on my friends PC.
Second: I will not use ROM Manager anymore!
Third: I read that the usb libraries of linux are different from the windows libs, so running odin via "wine" or "virtual box" will brick my phone!
Fourth: I want just to know what does odin or CWM do? Do they format device memory then extract the zip file and copy its contents to internal memory or what?
Sent from my Galaxy Mini GT-5570 using XDA application.
2 things I know about odin is that it is used to flash stock ROMs and flash the stock recovery. It simply overwrites what is installed on your phone.
As for CWM, I guess you are right about formatting the system memory and extracting the system files of the ROM that you will be flashing. One thing for sure is that you cannot flash stock ROMs via CWM and vice versa. Cannot install custom ROMs via Odin.
I guess you need your friend's help one more time. You need to have at least CWM v4.0.0.5 which you can find on the dev section (tj_style's threads). Once you have that installed, you can go away with windows pc since the newer versions of CWM are flashable via zip file ( squadzone's mod of v5.0.2.8 and RZrecovery).

Thank you for helping me!
One more question: can I flash squadzone's CWM directly via odin?

No, you have to flash v4 first.. No Odin packages were made for v5 unfortunately..
Hope you press the Thanks buttons.. Would really appreciate it..

after successfully flashing CM9 to my Defy I convinced my friend to go to ICS as well...so far so good/bad!
I followed the guide to install CMW recovery and did a backup of the stock ROM.
After this I copied CM9 nightly and the google apps package to the internal memory...apperantely the zip package of the google apps was bad, so i tried to boot into CM9..it took a damn long time, so I removed the battery (OK, bad move...but so be it don't bit*h about it!)..CM9 booted but said someting about "encryption of the storage failed..please do a factory wipe"......I did so, using CWM recovery...which ended me up in a boot loop without having access to CMW recvry.
So I thought, flashing the zImage again with heimdall will have the bootloader rewritten (maybe the 2nd bad move this day) so I can access recovery again...I imagined zImage was kinda like a BIOS of a PC...apparently it is NOT
After some google-f00 I found out I have to flash an official FW from samsung, with repartitioning,using odin, am I right?
But the probel is, that they tell me to do a *#7465625# to find out details about the stock firmware...but this is not bossible because the phone hangs at the galaxy s boot logo.
So my question is...what can I do to access either recovery or the stock firmware with a phone stuck at boot logo (i can boot into download mode) and having only a nandroid backup of the stock rom?
Can anybody tell me what to do without spending 200 coins to obtain another SGS for my friend (Yeah, I told him that the risk is to brick the SGS, but I have a kind of guilty conscience.
Hope someone can help...
Thanks a lot!
Odin doesnt care about whats currently on your phone . Just go to samfirmware. Com, find a nice stock rom (2.3.3) for i9000, and flash it with odin. If you dont know how to use odin: use the search button in the i9000 section ''how to use odin''. keep us updated / or if you have any other questions :thumbup:

hey
when i screwed my sgs, odin + darky ressurection rom helped
i can't post a link , google "Darkys_v9.2_Resurrection_Edition.zip" ,though i can't remember if i used that version. some got removed, try to look for a sourceforge link. That still works
and see the reply above how to use odin
Hey,
There are also lots of tutorials on youtube, and other sites to show how to flash an original rom. I also screwed up my install of CM9. And then I followed this guide to get the original rom running again.

After that, use this link for rooting + CWM:

hmmm... i read from another site there are some custom rom that requires the phone to be in a rooted stock rom or another custom rom...
example:
to install Galaxy S GT I9000 with Orange Amestris v7.3 ROM Custom Firmware you need to be on stock XWJW1 or XXJVU Firmware since the baseband of "amestris" would be on xwjw1 or xxjvu or custom rom with the same baseband...
what stock rom/firmware the phone was in anyway?im guessing gingerbread stock rom? you still got a chance to update it right since you can access download mode...
from what i can remember, i updated my boyfrnd's s2 from gingerbread to official ics from "sammobile".com (remove quote)
then updated it to a custom rom...
well this might be irrelevant but this is how i updated my galaxy s:
well on my galaxy s i updated it from gingerbread stock rom rooted to gingerbread miui then to ics miui andy's version, since im on ics i have successfully tried different ics custom rom like darknight, slimics, elite etc...
hope this kinda help =]
Thanks a lot...I flashed the original firmware (it didn't start properly, but I don't care) and with this was able to flash the zImage again...then I was able to access bootloader and reinstall CM9

First of all u dunn have to unzip the file... Put the file into your SD Card (Internal or External)
Now these will be the steps to flash Rom.
If ur rooted and have CWM.
Then :-
Reboot into CWM Recovery.
Flash JBRoid Cleaner.
Flash Abyss 4.2
Reboot Recovery.
Now you will have Redpill Recovery (Red Version)
Wipe Cache/Dalvik/Data.
Flash Zip File u have downloaded.
Reboot System.
And please search before you open a new thread as it makes a cost for the XDA...Just a suggestion..If u need further information or links post here... I'll try to help ya out at my best...
hey guys. my friend has a rogers samsung captivate I896 running stock 2.3.3 . since he saw how i installed custom rom on my xperia play i thought i would install ics for him. i found this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1592141 . i am just wondering if i have to flash a ics kernel like how i have to do with my fone. or can i just follow the exact instructions in the link.
i might sound like a noob its just because im not used to samsungs and i recently softbricked my phone because somebody who posted a rom for my fone never mentioned having to flash a kernel, and i dont want that to happen with his
thx in advance guys
yup, root with super one click and install CWM through Rom manager app in the Play store.
You may run into recovery 3e problems, where your install of update.zip gets denied because of signature verification failure; where, in that case you will need to use Odin to flash a kernel with CWM included.
let me know if you have any problems.
so first i try to flash without kernel? and if it gets denied i use odin and flash kernel then go back to CWM flash zip?
Why not just use TRusselo's Guide ?? ---- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19425513&postcount=1

You can flash any custom rom irrespective of android version
so there is no problem in downgrading from 4.0.4 to 2.3.6
but if u want to flash the stock rom then u need odin and after flashing stock rom, flash the recovery using odin
then you can restore from recovery
Well as the person above me replied , if you were using cm7 based rom then just reboot into cwm recovery and restore the nandroid backup (if you made one ). That's all about it. Do wipe CACHE and DATA before restoring.

Bro don't worry.
step 1. download the respective firmware of the region where you live from here
step 2. Make sure you installed the drivers for sgm correctly
step 3. Download ODIN and ops file
step 3. Boot in download mode by pressing home+vol down+power key simultaneously. And finally connect the device to pc through USB.
step 4. Just select one package on odin choose OPS file and the md5 file downloaded in step 1, then start the process
step 5. Boom its done.
Need further help go here.
