i had a rooted galaxy ace gt_s5830 running gingerbread on which i tried to flash (several) cwm roms. obviously, this didn't work. (the first one was for the gt s5830i, and i don't remember why the others failed)
i did do a cwm backup beforehand and performed a recovery that listed as successful.
so when i select restore to that recovery i would assume that the phone would reboot and return it to it's previous state, but the phone just reboots to the same android recovery screen.
is there a problem or am i not doing something correctly?
thanx for any assitance, ed

Did you root correctly your device?
Which steps did you follow when you restore the backup?
Which CWM are you running?

i rooted my device over 1 year ago so i could add more apps on the sd card. i kept using the stock gingerbread rom furnished by samsung (2.3.6)
the root.zip file contains superuser.apk and busybox....
i installed the CWMAce.zip (see attached file) on my sd card, performed a backup which is also on the sd card
( screenshot of the CWM backup that i made)
i presume that i made the backup, and then "wiped data/factory reset" after the backup was listed as successful. i did not wipe delvik cache. then tried to install a custom rom that was listed for gt s5830 but failed in "android recovery window" because it was for gt s5830i. i have since downloaded other custom roms none of which have worked either.
i have now added Concept-L-1.0.Cooper.zip (Dev-Host, 102 MB) to my sd card from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-ace/s5830-develop/gb-2-3-6-concept-l-rom-andoid-l-gt-s5830-t2807829
would you please explain the correct way to attempt to install? thanx

there are a few roms to give you an L flavour, and also 1 for Marshmallow look-alike experience.
look in "rom dev" threads.
Use PC and adb

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.

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.

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.

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
Dear Community, greetings.
I have a problem as wrote in the title: I can't boot into cwm recovery. I am gonna try to summarize the main points that lead me here.
Assumption
I used to install custom ROMS flawlessy, following always the instruction etc...
Last rom I've installed was CM7.2 Apocalypse, Project Silk and Link2SD
I needed to restore stock rom
I searched with Google and came across the following solutions
I searched on XDA and came across the following solutions
What I have done...
I flashed using odin 4.38 -> GB 2.3.6 2012 October 2.3.6 S5830XWKTS S5830ITVKT2 downloaded from sammobile.com
I rooted the phone with upd_1.zip (that is attached to this thread)
I tried to install recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-galaxyace-fix.zip
...and trying to boot into recovery pushing POWER BT + HOME BT the phone stucks on the screen with "Galaxy GT-S5830" and the top-left corner was green
What I have done #2
I tried to use S5830XXKA6 but I dind't neither managed to boot properly (wiped data/factory and cache)
Tried to flash CWM directly with Odin using "One Package"
Could you kindly help me out?:fingers-crossed: I am also willing to give you further information as you ask.
Thanks everyone for your time.:good:
F.
---- PARTIAL FIX by myself ----
1. Format the sdcard in linux with GParted (you need to install android-tools-adb, android-tools-fastboot)
2. Flashed stock firmware S5830XWKTS S5830ITVKT2 with ODIN Multidownloader 4.38 (downloadeble from www.sammobile.com under ITALY)
3. Rooted with upd_1.apk and updated with Superuser 3.0 (attached)
4. Installed CWM 6.0.1.4
5. Restore an old backup of mine.

First of all, thank you very much for the reply. Then, the answer is yes and no. I flashed several firmwares. Some of them did work, others don't. Right now I managed to use the one I've mentioned before and
S5830XWKT7_S5830ITVKT1_ITV
S5830XWKP6_XWKPN
but trying S5830_XXKA6 it goes in bootloop also wiping data and cache.
Further information:
I noticed a problem with CSC. While booting in standard recovery an error message appeared saying something like "can't open /system/csc/XEU/system", so I've created the whole directory path and put the files that were in /system/csc inside. This issue is fixed. I am going to investigate and let you know if with other firmware I listed above I get the same behaviour.

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

NEED HELP ROOTING
Hi adnaanbheda,
Use this file, you can flash it with stock, CWM or TWRP recovery.
Hi,
i have some questions in cwm.
Last year i used a cwm 5 to flash some cm7.2. Last month i tried to flash cm11.
Therefor i used cwm6.
After all i want to go back, and tried to restore my backup. But this does not work. - restore aborted
Is this why i use cwm6 and make the backup with cwm5 ?
And can i easily change cwm to restore my cm7.2 backup ?
THX

Yes, it is because you made the backup using CWM 5 so you cannot restore it with CWM 6. Your only solution now is to install the stock rom back using odin through Download Mode and then install root and CWM 5. Once CWM 5 is installed back, you can restore your previous backup. Hope I Helped
I have to install stock with Odin ?
Is there no chance to reinstall cwm5 ?

Sadly, you can't install CWM 5 from CWM 6. So flashing stock is the only good option.
OK thanks, :crying:

Did you try it @mahithm?
Exactly which CWM 6 version are you using?
I've actually used mobile Odin and flashed cwm 5 back.

Mobile Odin is an AMAZING APP ...but... AFAIK with CWM 6.0.4.7 you can go back to CWM 5.0.2.6 :good: so just flash it
Yes sir it is. And yes if the app will install you can get back to cwm 5 using it. That's how I found it lol. I had problems installing it on an omni build from last month though.

BTW @alex_is_the_1 you don't need Mobile Odin to flash it, just a Terminal Emulator/ ADB
EASY GUIDE TO GO BACK FROM CWM 6.x TO CWM 5.x
1. Extract the image file from [url="dl-1.va.us.xda-developers.com/7/4/3/3/3/3/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-galaxyace-fix.zip?key=6roq9AjWknQHZSzHyGtAbQ&ts=1402611881]CWM 5.0.2.6 FIXED.zip[/URL] (recovery.img) and put it in your sdcard's root directory.
2. Use the Terminal app (CM11) [optional download and install Terminal Emulator (from Play Store)]
3. Open it and type the following code (running Android 4.4.x)
Code:
su
flash_image recoveryonly /storage/sdcard0/recovery.img
It should work correctly and you'll get CWM 5.0.2.6 Fixed as recovery :good:
Thank you all for these Tips.
After this infoermation I've tried to install psx-recovery-0.3.6-touchscreen
directly via CWM 6 and this works too :highfive:
thanks

@Viper The Ripper , I tried it with CWM 6.0.4.5 and I couldn't flash CWM 5 from it. Also I didn't knew that you can flash recovery from Terminal App :good:
