[Q] [ I9001 ] Restore stock recover

Hi all guys!
I've searched into the whole forum and Internet but I cannot find an answer to my question.
After the FeaMod Recovery installation I know I can return to stock recovery by installing a stock ROM. This is a great thing.
But what about restoring stock recovery without installing the whole ROM?!?! Is it possible?!
Sorry if my question has an answer in the forum yet... I really can't find it.
Thank u very much!!!

If you extract original recovery from a stock rom you can dd it to your device. Or you take the stock recovery.img and modify the flashable cwm zip by replacing cwm recovery.img with stock recovery.img and flash that with cwm.

Hi. First of all TY for ur reply.
Then for this I need some help 'cause I've read hundreds of guides and wikies but I'm not really a master!
1) Ur first tip seems a little dangerous! Anyway how can I extract the recovery from stock ROM with dd?! Has to be the phone rooted?! Or adb it's enough?!
2) Ur second tip seems to be better! But where I can take the stock recovery.img?
And then, after replacing it in the CWM zip I've to do something else before flashing zip from sdcard?!
Really thank you for your tips!

The attached file should reflash the stock XXKPU recovery to your 9001. Tested and works with FeaMod 1.4.

Hi wintel.
Thanks for your reply.
Only last question, I promise!!!
May I use the file u posted with every ROM I've installed or it has to be used only with XXKPU ROM?!?!
Sorry, but I quiet new with Galaxy world!!!

the stock recovery is the same and should be ok for all roms.
this issue was already discussed in I9001 Q&A thread and in the Feamod thread, wintel made it easy for u and gave u a flashable zip,u could replace the recovery.img also through adb or terminal emulator with dd code.(assuming the recovery.img is in the root of internal sd). (keep this code somewhere in case u need it another time)
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13
reboot

Well the main question is that what do you feel more comfortable, CWM or ODIN?

Wow ! A chick modding it's own phone, it's rare to see that. That means you have a courage to do it...
Well...
About CWM, you can flash from either ODIN or Stock Recovery. There's no differences in the result.

No, basically I wanted to start TOTALLY fresh with a new ROM so I went to CWM and formatted EVERYTHING!! I was half asleep when I did it and formatted my SD card (where my ROM was saved lol) I also formatted boot, so I have no recovery anymore either.
What I'm wanting is a custom recovery I can flash using Odin.
So CWM recovery in a .tar format.
Thanks for the help!

So attached one may help you a lot. It works even for JW9! All you need to do - it's install the latest stock ROM first

But this isn't a recovery is it?
It's just a root package for stock firmware?
All I'm looking for is a custom recovery (like CWM) that I can flash in Odin so I can get a recovery back on my phone and flash CM

This on contains Root+CWM3 for stock ROM

[Q] Downgrade CWM from 6.??? to 5.???

Hi
I updated CWM to 6.??? to try a KitKat ROM but I want to go back to a Gingerbread one. I don't know how to downgrade the CWM to 5. When I try and install a CWM 5 zip file via CWM it gives me lots of errors.
Is it possible to downgrade the CWM?
thanks
Paul

You can either flash stock rom via odin on comp and reroot, or download and install mobile odin ported to our device. And then flash the odin flashable cwm.tar file through mobile odin.

You cannot downgrade from android 4.x to android 2.x. That's because 4.0.4 and higher roms have a different bootloader. So don't try to flash gingerbread over kitkat, but if you tried and your phone didn't bricked let me know!!!

I know well what CWM stand for and what it is. I know he was asking how to downgrade from CWM 6 to CWM 5 but he was asking also for a downgrade from KitKat to Gingerbread. I just said that it could brick the phone.
For the CWM downgrade you must:
1) reboot in recovery mode
2) install the latest PX recovery for galaxy ace
3) reboot recovery
4) install CWM5
5) reboot recovery
6) done!

Actually downgrading from KitKat to Gingerbread will not brick the phone as long as you flash it through odin. Then again flashing any Gingerbread custom rom will not brick your phone as they are made to work only on CWM5. Hence flashing Gingerbread custom rom through CWM6 will only give you errors. Its always safe to install Gingerbread stock rom using odin. Here is the link on how to install stock rom using odin along with all firmwares and drivers (check "Preparations" section),
Flash stock rom on Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 using odin/
Once installed, go to recoverymod and do a wipe data/ factory reset & wipe cache (otherwise bootloop might occur). Then restart. Now you have successfully flashed the stock rom. Here is the link for rooting and installing CWM5 on Samsung Galaxy Ace,
How To Root and Unroot Samsung Galaxy Ace?
CWM 5.0.2.6 fix for Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830
Also if you still want to use KitKat, then you can use the KitKat version flashable through CWM5 by @Salim El Yabouri. Here is the link,
KitKat for all
Hope I Helped

1. I proceeded as you said, to downgrade from 6.0.4.6 to 5.0.2.6.
It worked.
Thank you very much indeed.
2. Do you know if there is any 6.0.4.7 zip or 6.0.4.8 zip for s5830?

Well i mentioned it earlier in a post but still instead of upgrading to 6.0.4.7 mardon's new recovery has more feastures: Check this link.
But I recommend 5.0.2.6 as it can flash almost all zips without any problem whatsoever.
As written on mardon's page that 6.0.5.3_1 was ported to Ace for flashing his kk custom rom

About your remarks:
1. cwm 6.0.4.8/philz edition did not work. a) it has mount problems; b) it prevented android 2.3.5 from booting.
2. You, before editing, said recovery is independent of the rom on the phone. If this is the case, then why all cwm 6 versions are in trouble with /system on my phone? and why mardon said that won't work with stock rom?

Cwm 6 or 5 cannot mount /system /data or /cache bcoz cwm cannot handle samsung's filesystem rfs used in galaxy ace. This problem has no solution except changing to custom rom or using cfroot kernel which has ability to change fs type to ext4.also it is quite better than stock kernel. Proceed with caution. Also i think you need android 2.3.6 for cf root kernel. You can download official android 2.3.6 from sammobile.com and cf root kernel for s5830
from Google. Also do try cwm 5.0.2.6 once it can work.
And btw flashing 2.3.6 will wipe data cache root everything.
If you choose to flash 2.3.6, try cf auto root kernel. Cm roms use ext4 by default with quite better kernels.

1. CWM 5.0.2.6 does not have any mounting problem.
2. I do not want changing to custom rom.
3. Can "cfroot kernel" be used along with my official 2.3.5 rom?
4. What caution do you mean when you say "Proceed with caution"?
5. If I install 2.3.6, then will I have "cfroot kernel" and consequently can I install CWM 6 without mounting problem?

[Q] Doubts about Recovery

Hi Guys,
I'm a I8190 user just rooted with vroot and now i need to install custom recovery either CWM or TWRP.
I have some doubts to be cleared before choosing the one among them.

2.How can i easily install this to my device (without PC is preferred )
3. How can i shift from CWM to TWRP or viseversa after i installed one among them.
Thanks Guys.

1. Both work well, personally I prefer TWRP.
2. If you have stock recovery, you need to use PC for flash custom recovery via Odin or jOdin.
3. From custom recovery you can easily flash zip file with another recovery.
