Hello, Recently a friend of mine has a Galaxy Ace they want me to root and install some rom's for but does the Ace come with a recovery? Just reading some threads of people asking why you would flash a recovery via Odin, not the recovery... Sorry I havent had the chance yet to play with his Ace but judging from the HOX/Note there was stock recovery . Thanks!
Yeah ace does come with stock recovery .
You can root your ace using stock recovery but for flashing custom ROM u need clockworkmode
Recovery. .

All android phones have a recovery.
But the recovery is protected and it doesn't allow you to flash ROMs.
So you need an extended recovery called Clockworkmod to flash ROMs.

Oh, thanks, just didn't know you can use the stock recovery to root or install cwm... Just used to some companies (Yes you HTC) locking down everything from the stock recovery to bootloader...

Hi guys,
I'm trying to flash a custom rom on a friend's galaxy s, I m not new at this, been flashing roms on HTC since 2 years so I m familiar with the processes.
I found that flashing a galaxy s was a bit different and I m having some issues...
I have rooted the phone with the one-click tool, flashed clockwork recovery via Rom Manager, now when i launch my recovery I can only access the stock recovery and not the one I flashed. i read somewhere that when in the stock recovery I have to launch the clockwork recovery as an update.zip, but whenever I try it says that "signature verification failed"...
Could somebody help me please ?
what rom does your friend have?

Bad section i think.
What's your current rom, and what do want to do with cwm?
You probably have to downgrade stock recovery from 3e to 2e first. Look around for "Elof's guide ". Good luck.

Search the Dev section for a rom called EZbase, follow the instructions then move to what ever rom you want.
Or just use Odin and flash hardcores kernel . There's instructions on how to do that in his thread. Then you will have 2e recovery.

You may not be able to access CWM, but I'm sure you can access the Q&A section right? This is where it belongs.
Btw, you have not tell us what stock firmware your friend galaxy s has, and what custom rom you are going to install. All custom roms has easy installation guide and some even has video guides on how to install. Perhaps you can also access the Search button.
Sorry for the wrong session post.
Galaxy Mini running Android version 2.3.5 (Gingerbread)
How do I install this CM10.1 ROM on my phone?
I've rooted + flashed ROMs before on my i9100 but it appears the Galaxy Mini process is much different. Help is greatly appreciated!
Does the Mini have to be rooted prior to installing CWM or custom ROMs?
As far as I know I simply plug my phone into computer, download a CWM file and flash it to phone with Odin. Then I drag the CM10.1 zip file onto the phone and using the CWM recovery menu, flash the ROM?
Thank you in advance
SOLVED

I don't understand what you are meaning here. I asked in my original post the instructions for flashing CM10 onto my Galaxy Mini and whether or not the steps I outlined above are correct or if I am missing something.
Ya thats right, but u before must do hard reset, cache and dalvik wipe but i think u already knew that

First root it , then flash cwm tar file in odin as one package , and thej you can put custom rom on sd and go to cwm recovery wipe cache/data and cache partitation. Then just install the rom zip and there you go.
If you dislike the rom just flash another and if your tired off custom roms flash back stock rom

Your only option is to flash the stock rom using odin. Here is the link on how to install stock rom using odin,
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 CWM 5 on Samsung Galaxy Ace,

CWM6 was designed only to flash CM 11( KitKat) based roms. You won't be able to flash anything other than that using it. Your rom might be working perfectly. But in order to install CWM5 in your current state, your only option is to flash stock rom back. You can't flash CWM5 from CWM6, similarly you can't flash any other roms using CWM6 either. So do a complete back up of data using Titanium Backup, flash stock rom using odin, install root and install CWM5. You won't have any problem with non-KitKat based roms. As for the KitKat based roms, you can either make any CM 11 rom compatile with CWM 5( thanks to @brijeshep) or use CM 11 rom flashable through CWM 5 (thanks to @Salim El Yabouri).

Once installed, you can restore the data back. Hope I helped
I have the same problem before and i dowload the two recovery 5.0.x.x and 6.0.4.6 , i open the two zip and place the recovery.img of the 5.0.x.x zip into the 6.0.4.6 zip i erase the old recovery.img of 6.0.4.6 zip and i flash the 6.0.4.6 whith the recovery on my phone (6.0.4.6) , it show me the installation of a 6.0.4.6 cwm and when i reboot into recovery i had a 5.0.x.x recovery
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,

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,

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

Thank you.
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?
