[Tutorial]How to remove CWM without flashing a whole new firmware.

Hello all,
Today, i will show you how to remove CWM and get back the original recovery without flashing a whole new firmware..
AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Make a copy of the firmware you're currently on and paste it anywhere on your desktop
Open the archive with 7zip, and delete all the files in it other than recovery.img.
Thats it, flash it through ODIN , like you flashed CWM and you should have your orignal recovery back.
I am attaching the recovery of XWKQ2 along, you just need to flash it via ODIN..
Best of luck!

Anyone have tried this? This is what I have been looking for. I will try this ~

Man why would I post it without trying it first.

Well if you're on creed 's rom and since its based on ddkq5, download the ddkq5 firmware and open(not extract) with 7ZIP.
Now there will be 9 files in it.Delete all other than recovery.img and flash the new tar via ODIN.
Abt bricking, i have done this many times but have never faced any problems, but there is always some risk.
And yeah i think you can flash ddkq5 over creed's, just remember to wipe data,cache,etc etc..

ok.....after that i mean after getting stock recovery if i need my stock rom back as well then buddy what to do...
let me ask something ..
buddy m havin creeds rom nd CWM on my gfit rite now if i flash ddkq5 with the help of ODIN...will i brick my phn or will i get my stock rom back....kindly hlp man...

If you want the stock rom why flash the recovery separately?
On flashing the stock rom you will also get the original recovery back.
You can flash ddkq5 on creeds rom, you wont brick ur device unless the flashing process is interrupted by something like power failure.
Remember to wipe stuff before and after flashing and to make a cwm backup just in case..

How can i backup full stock rom??when ever i tried to do this it( cwm) says backup failed:--(

Maybe there's not enough space in your sd card?
Sorry man, i am also a kinda noob and my knowledge abt such stuff is limited.
You should ask this question in its respective thread..

friend thank you so much !!! i also want to remove CWM from my galaxy Fit..but can you please tell me how to copy current firmware and step-wise procedure of flashing it through ODIN...please help me...waiting for reply...

Its probably because your stock rom is using rfs file system, and cwm doesnt support rfs system so you cant make a backup of stock rom...

First download the firmware, your ROM is based on.
Open the firmware(not extract) with 7Zip.
There would be 9 files, delete all other than recovery.img.
Boot your g-fit in download mode and connect it with the pc.
Open ODIN.
Select Beni v1 as ops.
Check one package and select the archive you just deleted files from as the file to be flashed.
Click on start.
Thats it, the process should not take more than 10-20 sec.

i have not rooted my galaxy Fit yet...just flashed the CWM in it..but i wanted to get the stock recovery back..so the stock ROM is as it is...and today i got the upgrade of GB 2.3.6 DDKT3 from kies and it has restored my stock recovery back from CWM...just solved my problem...happy !!!!
thanks for your reply and help....

Fixed it I read somewhere that if the volume down button and home button are pressed and the battery is inserted it goes into download mode. I tried this and it worked.

[Q] Please help ? Sdcard not getiing mounted in recovery mode in my samsung GT-B5512

I rooted my phone ( Samsung Galaxy Y Pro Duos GT-B5512) and installed some custom ROM. After that when i boot my phone using ( Vol + Home + Power ), It starts only in recovery mode and gives error that Sdcard can not be mounted.
I am not able to wipe any data or change my ROM. I tried to change ROM using Odin3_V1.85_3 and PDI fiile( B5512XWLG1_B5512ODDLG1_B5512DDLG1_HOME.tar.md5).But that too gives error like Failed.
I have formatted sdcard too but didnt work.
Pelase Help me out with this.
Thanks in advance to all who take the time to read this.

okay... if this is what i think u did... then i have a solution .. if u were on any custom rom previously and flashed a stock rom using odin.. just check if u have apps that were installed on custom rom and still have them on your device... then just boot into recovery ... do factory /data reset and also clear cache partion and dalvic cache. n check if the proplem is solved.. DONT clear system partition..
