[Q] How to bring back stock recovery?

So now i installed semaphore 2.5.0 and it comes with cwm ofcourse which removes stock recovery
any way i can get stock recovery back?
because i want to unroot and remove everything that isnt stock on the phone
firmware: 2.3.6
Baseband: I9000XXJVT
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9000XXJVU-CL851880

Hi,
Have you made a Nandroid backup before installing this kernel? As far as I know, a Nandroid restore also restore Recovery.
Another possible solution, have you tried flashing, via Odin, I9000XWJVZ stock firmware (you can download it from sammobile.com).
In any case, consider doing a Nandroid backup before any action on your phone.
Hope it might help you.

1-restoring a nand backup won't bring back the old recovery as the nand backup was made through CWM. if u have a nand backup u can restore it and push (with dd codes and terminal emulator, through odin,recovery flashable zips etc..) these 2 files boot.img and recovery.img extracted from a stock rom-same version as ur nand backup. (just be careful u push them in the right place)
2-Flashing a stock rom through odin will get u back to stock recovery.

In ClockwordMod recovery mode, you access it in "Backup" menu.

so if i flash a stock rom with odin(pda,phone,csc) it will bring everything back?

Here is what I would do to flash a stock ROM:
- Back up all your apps using Titanium Backup or Backup Everything (found on Android market)
- Back up all your SMS using SMS Backup (found on Android market)
- Shut down phone
- Enter recovery mode using 3 buttons combo (Volume Up + Home + Power)
- Make a Nandroid backup (Menu Backup & Restore > Backup), it will create a full image of your actual ROM in your SD card (folder clockworkmod > backups)
- Reboot
- Plug USB cable in (Connect your phone to computer)
- Copy all those new backup datas to a computer
- Ensure your battery is full
- Unplug USB cable (Disconnect from computer)
- Shutdown phone
- Enter download mode using 3 buttons combo (Volume down + Home + Power)
- Start ODIN, Make sure that the 'Re-Partition' option in ODIN is checked.
- In ODIN, select the files in PIT, PDA, CSC and PHONE: (example file names)
.PIT: s1_odin_20100512.pit
PDA: CODE_***.tar
PHONE: MODEM_***.tar
CSC: CSC_***.tar​- Plug USB cable in your phone (connect to computer), a yellow box and a message "Added!" should appear in Odin.
- Click on Start.
- Do NOT touch anyhting while downloading.
- When phone reboots, disconnect the phone from the computer.
There you will have a stock ROM, stock recovery, just like when it was when leaving factory.
Optionnaly:
- Restore your SMS (via SMS Backup app)
- Restore some apps (via Titanium Backup / Backup Everything app)

And make sure Samsung Kies isn't running if it's installed on your computer.
> If anyone would like to confirm this procedure, It would be nice!

As it was said, the best way to get stock recovery is to install stock ROM via ODIN.
But I think that it should be enough to flash stock kernel only, not the whole ROM.

ok thank you all

Installing stock rom with cwm recovery

hi.
Is it possible to install stock rom from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 wit cwm recovery?
Will instaling stock rom with cwm recovery overwrite my cwm recovery? If I am rootwd now, will I have still root after installing stock rom?

If you install a stock Rom, you'll lose both your CWMR and root, unless you do it using Mobile Odin.

yes you can flash Stock ROM with CWM. n you have to select 'keep CF root' when it ask.
For detail guide, Download guide from last link on my signature you will find ' Update ROM using CWM' in New folder.

I must've skimmed the OP, hence the inappropriate reply.
My Note was never bricked BTW. I had flashed angelom's v1, not v1.1 or v1.2, and managed to pull back in time.
Your posts are always to the point and very helpful, too.

You need cwm from cf, with stock recovery can't flash any rom.
You are rooted already then get cwm first.
You said to keep cwm, means u have it, stock recovery can't b erased. Stock recovery hav limited set of function. I believe u have still confusion in understanding cwm, just read more.

I think you can not install stock rom with cwm recovery. But you can restore backups.
There is difference between CWM - its and application which can be opened when you boot in the phone, and CWM Recovery - you can access it without/before booting in the phone.
Sorry if my answer is wrong.

CWM recovery OR better term is stock recovery, which exist on all device(inbuilt stock function), which can be access with Vol up + Power + Home
This have limites set of function, Just wipe cache, n wipe data.
Niether stock Nor custome ROM can be flashed
Nither backup Nor Restore is possible with it.
For this fuction, you need to have CWM application, which can available only if you have your device rooted. If tou have flash CWM, then you can access it with same method(three keys), but menu will be more advanced.
Hope it should be clear Now.

n7000 stock android with cwm installed
Hello there,
I wanted to install kitkat on my note1, n7000. I rooted the phone with philz cwm6 ddlsc. Everything went good. I then tried to install the kitkat 4.4.4 and it keeps giving an error and does not install. Later doing some research i figured i need a version of 6.4 and above of cwm in order to install 4.4.4. So I decided to leave all this and go back to stock 4.1.2. I did not unfortunately create a backup. Now that im trying to install it through odin the stock android, odin does not detect the phone. I have wiped off cache, user data and dalvik cache. Everytime the phone is booted it goes to cwm menu.
Please help me install the stock android and remove cwm/root.
Your help is much appreciated.

Although this is the note 1 forum but yes usually that's how it works. If you backed it up using cwm, then restoring should also work. You will need to do a factory reset 1st.

Rooted+CWM installed in your phone?

Use cwm recovery to backup your stock rom.
Root your phone, instalar cwm and do a backup.
To restore it you need first to convert the file System to rfs, and then restore the backup through cwm. This is because custom roms use ext4 file system and if you don't convert it, cwm won't restore your backup.

i know that, but how to do that "convertion" (manually or there's program) from ext4 to rfs after backup in cwm where to find backup file, please explain

To convert system to rfs you must flash a full package firmware via odin

Well, if you are going to use cf-root ext4 manager to restore a stock backup its probably recommended to use cf-root kernel, and you will lose the custom rom you're using, so why do you care if it's just the app or the entire kernel?
I don't know if just the app will work, but it's irrelevant. Just Flash a custom rom with cf-root applied, or Flash the cf-root kernel, convert to rfs and you're good to go. You'll restore a backup and basically wipe any custom rom you were previously using.
Otherwise, a Odin one package will revert your file system to rfs, and wipe cwm recovery (so you need to root and istall cwm afterwards and then restore backup)

1. Root your phone
2. Install CWM
3. Backup your Current ROM*
4. Install yuour Custom ROM, and if something happen
5. Flash Stock ROM with odin
6. Root your phone
7. Install CWM
8. Restore your Current ROM*
Make sure you didn't wipe anything in your SD card..

Ext4 Manager app will convert your file System to rfs, so do it before restoring backup.
The other way, Flash a Odin one package, root, install cwm and restore.

[Q] cwm recovery backup and restore_need help

hey all
my note is on ics 4.0.4 stock rom and notecore v14.1 kernel
i did a backup with cwm recovery and it was done correctly to my sd card
the question is:
if i install any other custom kernels,will the cwm recovery version change??(i think yes, am i right?)
and will that affect the restore of the backup that i made with the another version of cwm recovery if it was changed??

Yes, the cwm recovery version might change but it should not affect the restore of your backup.

Nope, it shouldn't. Your version of CWM won't change unless you change it. When you flash a custom ROM, it changes /system and /data to name a couple. Your recovery doesn't get touched.

thx for both of u
but if i want to change my current custom kernel which is notecore v14.1 to another custom kernel such as PhilZ-cwm6 v3.72 ,should i do extra procedures or just flash it through pc/mobile odin or cwm recovery normally without any other steps??

As note 1 has the recovery built in the kernel, any change of kernel will change the recovery to what is included in the new kernel. This will not affect your backups. You can restore your old backups with new cwm. No special procedure, use mobile odin or cwm, pc odin will give you yellow triangle, increase counter.

I am not sure what you really mean but you can reflash stock rom with Odin3. Download the firmware at http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
I would suggest you before starting flashing please go to TWRP recovery and do advanced wipe. Don't wipe internal storage to prevent data loss and then only you start flashing the firmware with Odin3. Of course you have to enter download mode by holding power button + volume down + home button together.

Easiest way is to flash pure Stock ROM in zip file (with or without root) via custom recovery. Make sure that stock recovery isn´t in zip file.

And what you mean " Make sure that stock recovery isn´t in zip file." you mean i must delete the zip file twrp that i have in my phone?

ROM you can get for example here. You need to have flashable zip file with ROM (can be easily made for example with Android Kitchen).

but that will loose the root.. i think

Yes, but if you don't lose custom recovery, you can easily flash root via recovery.
Other option, maybe more comfortable for you:
1. Flash pure stock ROM via Odin.
2. Flash custom recovery via Odin.
3. Flash root bibnary via custom recovery.

You need to download the rom from samobile.com then split it and flash via odin, then you need to install a recovery again and root it again
