[Q] Downgrade CWM from 6.??? to 5.??? - Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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!!!

Bro, he meant to downgrade the recovery mod and not the android version. CWM stands for ClockWorkMod Recovery Mod. He just wants to downgrade from CWM6 to CWM5. Hope I Helped

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,

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.

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?

[Resolved] Rom manager has downgraded my CWM recovery !

Hi there,
I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191 to root and install CWM recovery on my Note XXLRK.
After reboot, I had CWM 6.0.1.4.
Then I installed app I had in my old phone : rom manager. It told me to flash recovery to be able to use it, so I did it.
It flashed to version 6.0.1.2 !
I tried to flash again with root method below but recovery still to 6.0.1.2 now.
I've heard about brick risk when flashing a rom with this version.
How can I upgrade recovery back to 6.0.1.4 ?
Is it dangerous to flash a rom (cyanogen 9.1) with cwm 6.0.1.2 ?
Thanks
Seems I have no answer yet, I'm sorry I have forgotten to say it was a question !
So here new informations :
I updated with new 2.7 pack (posted by PhilZ today).
Now I have :
- CWM touch 6.0.1.4 when I start with vol up + home + power
- CWM 6.0.1.2 when i select "reboot in recovery mode" in rom manager...
This doesn't really disturb me, I just hope it will not cause problem when I'll flash to cyanogen mod 10 (I'm on stock ICS 4.0.4 right now)
If someone could confirm it will not blow up...
Thanks in advance
As far as I know, rom manager is not compatible for now, so better not use it.
Thanks for your answer.
Should I uninstall it, or can I keep it but just don't use it ?

Semaphore kernel is inside the CM10 zip so it will get automatically installed when your flash the zip.
Yes CWM recovery is built into cf root kernel.
Also when you flash the Cm10 zip remember your phone will restart almost straight away and go into boot loop. This is because the partition layout is being changed.
Just reinsert the battery and boot into recovery again. Flash the cm10 zip again and this time it will finish installation.
& its no problem

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).

Odin stuck on Nand write

Hello,
I have the Samsung N7000, but it is stuck on Odin too.
My phone is not bricked or something like it, but I want Clockworkmod recovery 6.0.4.5 on it so I can flash Cyanogenmod 11 KitKat on it.
It is stuck on NAND WRITE too. I already have Clockworkmod recovery 6.0.2.8 on it, so I need to upgrade it.
Any suggestions??

Sorry, I tried flashing Clockworkmod 6.0.4.5 tar.md5 file.
It ran till it said NAND WRITE START and than FAIL. The collor above turned red and instead of PASS it said FAIL!
So raw kernel should fix this?
Do you have a link maybe? I'll search for it on Google but I want to make sure I have the good file.
Edit*
I found what you told me, but it says that raw kernel is for Android 4.4?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397000
I have 4.1.2 so I'm not sure if this will brick my device or something like that.
My device is all working fine and it is not bricked or bootloop YET, and since it has that NAND WRITE fail I'm not sure if it will reinstall my stock rom.. if it may brick.
I will still say what I wrote above.. Flash raw r4..reboot recovery and flash kk rom.

1. To flash a kitkat rom you will need a recent Cwm recovery.
2. Philz tw kernel are not updated to latest cwms.
3. If you try to flash philz_touch_xxx.zip, it won't work as you already saw.
So if you want to root the phone, use philz tw kernel that is associated with a rom build number like XXLTA.. Then you will get Cwm but not recent enough flash kk. That's why you flash raw r4.reboot into recovery takes to to recent Cwm. From there you can flash kk..
Just note that r4 is for 4.3 and will not boot a 4.1.2 so you will need to flash kk after r4.

Aah like that. But I think that I need Raw kernel R5 than? Because KitKat is Android 4.4
And when I flash raw kernel, than I should be able of flashing newest Cwm?

Hi,
Is not possible to flash recovery without kernel, on recent samsung phones recovery and kernel are tied. (Maybe you can change recovery editing the kernel image but that is out of subject and maybe your skills).
Follow the steps @nokiamodeln91 suggest you, there is no other way. Raw Kernel has a KK compatible recovery.

Okay. But if KitKat doesn't work that well, do I need to downgrade my Kernel and Cwm recovery than?
And do you have a link to the stock kernel?
Then you go into recovery, wipe data, and flash anew rom using odin or use recovery to flash a custom rom.

LOL that does not make any sense.. You will need to restore the backup or install a new rom. There is no need to separately install a stock kernel.. May be you need to read more how all this works.

Well, I didn't know that you sometimes need another kernel before you can install cwm.
I have been installing custom roms en recoverys many times on LG's so that isn't the problem.
But the NAND WRITE and FAIL problem must be a kernel issue than?

But it seems that the new rom has CWM recovery mode. I want to restore my phone to backup rom, but i can't access TWRP recovery mode.. Everytime i enter into recovery mode it shows CWM mode and it doesn't show my backup.. Plzz help..

On what ROM you was before?
If it was on 4.4 too, take its kernel, install it with Universal kernel flasher and go to recovery and restore it.
Kernel is in ROMs zip, name of it is boot.img.

Then best way is to flash stock JB with Odin, install CoCore with TWRP and do nandroid restore.

I was lazy to give you full answer there.
First on 4.4. our developers repartitioned preload partition to use it as a swap, and on 4.1.2 there were some apks. So if you want to go from 4.4 (and 4.3.) you must repartition it with this guide.
Then you download SlimKat or OmniROM and use its kernel to get TWRP, extract its ZIP and copy kernel to phone (it is boot.img in root of ZIP file). Then install Universal kernel flasher and some root explorer from the Play store and install kernel. When it is done go to recovery (you will have TWRP) and restore your backup.
P.S. You can use CoCore kernel with TWRP too. But the process is the same.

You get a bootloop because CoCore is for Stock ONLY. You can't use CoCore on any other ROM than on Stock based one.

My zip to restore is needed in 4.4 ROMs based on Team Canjica sources built till 14 June, after that date (since we removed /preload as swap partition on 15 June) is no longer needed with new builds this is only an info, most of the users don't know neither on what build they are :silly: better to continue to tell them to flash that zip before restoring that kind of ROMs, nice work.
