You can try flashing CWM Recovery with Odin, then flash a pre-rooted ROM w/ CWM Recovery

cherrs that what ive bein doin thanks anyway
if your trying to root your phone and you still have stock recovery on it then it won't get root rights... install CWM with odin the install a custom rom... also you won't be able to backup a stock rom with a custom recovery so best thing to do is install CWM with odin (if your on stock its the only way) REBOOT then install a custom rom and you'll have root rights as all custom roms have superuser or superSU pre installed.

Or you could flash the update.zip file via CWM and then you get root access on stock Android if that's what you'd like

yeah you can do that, but as I said in my previous post, you can't backup stock rom with CWM recovery you can only backup stock rom with stock recovery so its a good idea to install a custom rom after you've installed CWM recovery, then do a nandroid backup BEFORE you start exploring the system files just in case you delete something by accident.

Hi Guys,
Just got this galaxy min for my daughter.
Using guides on here have got the thing running 2.3.4 and rooted it. However I've flashed the recovery image and all looks well untill I try to take a backup - it can't mount /system.
Tried it manuallt from within recovery, same with data. Its almost like not having root rights but within Clockwork recovery!
Any ideas? I've played with a Hero, Nexus one and now a GS2 but this has me foxed!!
Cheers
Bryan
*sigh*
Can't find a solution anywhere.
Anyone with a working recovery please let me know what you did to install and what version - maybe a link to it?
Many thanks
Bryan

This happens with stock ROM. So I could not made nandroid. But after flashing custom ROM.nandroid backup works. So the problem is with firmware not with cwm.after installing custom ROM, you will be able to mount system.
Sorry for the newbie question, but is it possible to flash checkrom zip, from internal storage with cwm recovery? i tried and it just freezed on the samsung screen under startup, so i had to flash back to stock rom with odin to fix...
Short answer : yes
Long answer : i'm not sure of that particular order of tasks. But once you get CWM working properly then yes you can flash from internal storage.
MAYBE there is a bug getting CWM working the way you are trying but I would just try it again. 5% of the time something goes wrong with the flash process and that's probably what happened to you.

re:
damn, something strange happend here, after i flashed back the stock rom with odin and got the mobil to start again,the superuser doesnt work... the app isnt there, I get an error message every time I start the phone sayin: error reading hardware from internal interface, and if i try to use apps that need superuser premision. and the kitchen pro app has popped up, it doesnt work but it seems that I am on Checkrom then? WTF!! the phone seems to be heatin more than usual also.. i flashed back to KK5 stock room, and CWM got deleted. now i cant get it back over on CF- root cuz I get error when i try to do so, probebly cuz the superuser problem.., i need CWM so i can reflash.. FML! what can I do?
yes you can, you will find an option to select "install zip from internal sd", which doesn't require ext sd.
superuser
Sure you can install superuser from market.

You have lost root after flashing the stock ROM, that's why your root apps won't run. You need to root your phone again. Just go to Dr.Ketan's thread and follow the instructions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
Youll get your root and CWM Recovery back.
And, as D. Adams said, don't panic.
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.

Thanks for your reply, but your guide is about cwm manager, but not cwm recovery.
What about cwm recovery, can I update rom and keep root and cwm?

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.
How can i uninstall cmw? because i installed it, but i dont need it( i downloaded from an link from youtube whit rooting and that package dont have root =)) but in title his name is rooting samsung galaxy ace 2.3.6) and now i cant root my phone. Anyone?
More information please...what do you mean by you installed cwm but now you cannot root? Usually cwm is installed after rooting...just leave cwm there...it's very useful for backups and custom rom flashing...or if you really hate it (why would you? Lol), just flash a stock rom via odin and reroot without cwm...
I think he installed CWM without rooting the phone now he cant root it with CWM

Hi.
I've been trying to root my phone, Samsung Galaxy S5830 (not plus or Ace 2), I downloaded many root files and nothing worked, I used universal_gb_root_v25.zip, It shows Installation complete in CWM but the Superuser App doesn't show up. Also in Root Checker it says No proper root access. What to do ?
I have tried all the tutorials on XDA including these popular ones,

CWM Recovery
U should use stock recovery to root stock rom. But if u r looking to flash a custom rom, then u don't need root. Flash custom rom directly via cwm.

Flash your stock firmware back using odin through Download Mode. Make sure to backup all the necessary data before that. Goto Recovery Mode and install Root and then CWM. Finally reboot and you are good to go. Now flash any custom rom you want. Hope I Helped
