How do i downgrade my CWM or get rid of it?
I attempted Odin to flash the older CWM v5 but, that didn't work, I think because my phone's download mode isn't working either.
Any suggestions much appreciated.

Hi There,
Well you can flash the recovery in lots of ways like:
*Fastboot
*Flashify
*WinDroid etc.
I recommend Fastboot. If you want to know how to do that. Let me know i will provide you with the Guide.

well i flashed to stock and made a big mistake by restoring a rom manager backup I had then tried to flash suckerpunch right after
Edit: Solved!
I have surfed through the internet but rare few people don't have the problem I'm experiancing.
I used ROM Manger to install the CWR on my phone. It only installed Download Mode but not the Recovery itself. The phone was still working then. What made it stop working is that I used RM to backup my current ROM, and here I am. Stuck on the title screen.
My phone is rooted with GingerBreak (Risky I know but it was fine). All I have is Download mode on me.
Is there anyway how to get my phone fixed?
Use this package to restore http://files.teamkomin.com/index.php?dir=i9000SGS/
It will revert all firmware to a bleeding-edge stock version.

How do you use it ?
edit : nevermind : found it in another thread : Heimdall one-click. I haven't used it myself, but it will come in handy.

That's it?
Just put my phone into Download mode and just let it all do the work?
One problem though, don't you need Recovery mode enabled first before flashing anything? I don't have it on the phone but Download mode.
Is it safe without Recovery?

No, you do not. Download Mode is the savior. If you have that, you're good; if you don't, you risk bricking your device. Make sure you always have downloade mode before you start flashing.
And yes, it's that simple. AdamOutler knows his stuff.

So proceed with Download mode only? No need for Recovery?
Bump.
I need to know if I can do this without needing Recovery.
I might have to get Samsung to check it out if I don't get a response. :/

It has already been said that the recovery mode is irrelevant. You only need to have access to download mode.
the recovery mode is good when u need to flash files located on the phone or sd-card and download mode is to flash files located on your pc
If you are gonna flash, you only need download mode...

Sorry, wasn't able to pick up that it was already answered.
Will flash my phone later. Thankyou all for the replies
Will respond if it passed or not.
Update: (Sorry for double post)
My phone has flashed sucessfully. Download mode is still there but no Recovery.
Much better than the JVK firmware.
Thanks alot guys for the help
Update: I'm back to square 1. As soon as I installed CWM onto my phone, the phone is now starting up the intro and not going further.
I tried to install JVT twice now and it won't budge. Is my phone now offically screwed?
Edit: Fixed it. Used Odin and changed the firmware to JVS. Cleared everything too.
This is the stock image (flashable via fastboot) from here, with the recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.2-crespo.img in place of the factory recovery.
Download
I intended it for ease of running stock with cwm, and to have all the useful things for getting back to stock in one place, or to recover from a bad flash...etc.
It is not rooted, straight stock jro03e, no mods (other than swapping recovery).
I'm not going to do a cwm version, get fastboot running!
If you want root, flash root from the attachment in this post.
Good idea! :good:
Thanks Man!!!
This will help my nexus during the continue flashing!!!

And according to this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1750726 you may get the update running this.
I am running stock, rooted, aosp kernel...I guess I may see if I get JB update ota. Unless, of course, someone posts it here before I get it lol.
Hey i have a stock NS tmo running ICS and I want to unlock it, get CWM, so i can try a JB ROM..... But the problem is my micro usb is broken or something I cant connect to a pc or a mac via the file manager nor via cmd/fastboot.
So my question is this is i flash this via fastboot will it replace the stock recovery even though Im not unlocked?

Hmmm....I never tried it while locked, but you will need your usb working even if it is locked. This is all via fastboot over usb.
I would try a different usb cable, beyond that it sounds like it may be a hardware problem, and I don't know how to fix that.
I updated the first post for JRO03E with touch cwm.
tnx!

Can you be a little more specific? It would really help others trying to help you. If that makes sense.
What happened? Did you flash TWRP over CWM, or vice-versa? Can you not access any sort of recovery?
I would try installing TWRP through this guide
Also, did you install a ROM before this? Did you flash an incorrect modem?
If you did, and don't have a recovery, I recommend checking the link above.
Thank you,
Stephen

We figured it out.
We followed the guide found here: VERIZON ONLY Revert to stock GUIDE [UPDATED] - xda-developers
I hope that anyone who comes across this thread will be able to resolve this issue with having access to only fastboot.
(Restoring access to download mode via this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2681089)
I had a similar encounter playing around with my G2....If you know how to restore to 100% stock VZW VS-980 firmware its a whole lot easier to get things back n moving. their are a couple methods but this is the one I approve of to be the best one

What was the "safe" kernel That you were trying to flash? And what Rom vers were you on and what were you trying to do by installing those kernels? More details please, But Since you are still able to access both recovery and download mode, I don't think you have done too much damage. You can either follow any custom rom OP procedures, or download stock samsung rom and flash it through odin.
