Have you tried to install the Stock ROM via Odin?

Hope you made a nandroid backup before this.

[Q] CMR back up and restore issue

Hi folks,
When I back - up a rom i can't restore to it, always ends up saying "restore complete" the phone reboots and hangs on the samsung galaxy s screen for over 5mins, then reboots into cmr with various E: errors, such like cannot mount cache, or cannot cache/mount/log.
Also the rom i was using was cm7 rc10 and when this rom is installed the phone reboots straight into the rom where as it should reboot into cmr.
Any ideas ?
Depends on what rom your trying to restore? And what bootloader is on your device

You cannot restore a nandroid backup from a Samsung ROM directly over cm7 via cwm. You need to reflash a stock ROM via odin first. Then you can flash your nandroid backup from cwm.

[Q] can't reboot with cwm

Hi guys
I installed cwm yesterday and i'm having problems with it. When I try to reboot, it only comes to the samsung logo or the s plus logo. I can't access my phone anymore. It always comes back to the cwm menu. I have already tried several fixes for it, but I always have to reboot after that and that's the problem. What do I have to do? Can someone help me plz?
I'm so afraid that my phone is broken now
Thanks

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.

To make it detect in odin you need drivers... install those by installing kies.... flash CWM from stock recovery only and not by using rom manager....

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

Is this a problem caused by Knox? Try disabling it!

It is known that the Knox bootloader might cause some problems when you want to flash a ROM
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2597774
There's a option in SuperSU to disable Knox
