[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:--(

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.

I had this prob yesterdqy,,
You need to flash the original stock rom before you can flash another rom..
Flash the "S5670XXKPI" stock with ODIN,, after that, your SGFit will be fine... You can flash other rom qfter you flash the original rom..
Good Luck!..

I installed stock ROM S5670XWKTI. After, I installed CWM. Via CWM I can install customize ROM, but I do not want a custom ROM than the stock ROM. All custom ROM have bugs. For me the most stable stock ROM. For example. for me on the CWM not work mount / system, cash, etc.
Yesterday I tried on stock ROM install 14 toggles Galaxy Fit , but before that the CWM has to go to mount / system that does not work for me.

You cant mount system via cwm on stock rom because to mount system, it must be ext4 witch is not in stock rom.

Dude, the CWM by Tj style is for the ext4 system... and the stock rom is RFS..
You should flash the CWM by Vish coz it support the RFS system , not the Tj style vers..
Cmiiw..
Sent from my GT-S5670 using xda premium

you guys CAN install CWM v5 by tj_style in stock ROM, but it CANNOT backup stock ROM wich is RFS, if u on stock ROM and then install cwm v5 via odin and u can directly flash custom ROM via CWM

[FIX] Flashing Stock Rom/Custom ROM over Angeeks ROM

I'm facing a weird problem. I can't flash stock rom via Odin. The phone is always stuck on the Samsung screen. Tried xxlq7/xxlq9. I'm on angeeks rom. Wanted to try the blueberry sensation rom.
So for that I tried flashing xxlq9 again as recommended and faced this issue.
EDIT [FIX]
As suggested by Kartik pat i was able to successfully flash stock rom over angeeks rom
I followed the following steps:
1. Take tb for all apps [angeeks rom]
2. Restore any gingerbread backup you might have from CWM. Boot your device.
3. Flash xxlq9 via Odinv3. Boot device
4. Flash cwm4. Boot device.
5. Flash ardatdat kernel v4.0 [ensures the erase bug issue is resolved]
6. Boot System
7. Reboot into recovery. Wipe data,cache,dalvik cache.
8. Boot system and tada
If you want to flash bb rom over this then:
1. Flash the bb rom v1. Reboot.
2. Flash the bug fix zip. Reboot.
3. Flash sensation mod
P.s. this method worked for me using the gb backup and cwmv4.
Hope this helps.
EDIT 2:
As posted by vikesh....
Hey Buddies,
I did few R&D over Angeek ROM. As we are facing problem after Flashing NORDIC ROM over this One.
Here is the procedure:
If you Have any Back of ICS / GB then only apply these changes. Coz I have already did this.
Caution: Please take your Backup before then Try to Do below mentioned steps.
1) Requirements:
1.1) Must b having Ardatdat's eMMC erased Kernel i.e. V4.0 & higher.
1.2) ODIN V 3.07
1.3) Latest Kies Installed (for USB drivers)
1.4) Latest XXQL9 NORDIC ROM
1.5) CMW 6.0.1.1 for CMW flashing & CMW 6.0.1.1.tar for ODIN.
1.6) A PC..(of course):silly:
2) Flashing:
As per Suggestion by chandanbs, NORDIC ROM is almost come with Full in System Rom Partition.
So, here is few suggestion which was already suggested by our Great Mj.vikram buddy over this Thread & see Post no #8 there.
Hope, your ROM Partition is 619/620MB.
After Flashing above procedure, If you have flashed Ardatdat's Kernel first & have installed any ROM Specially ANGEEK ROM(coz having problem in that rom particularly as per users) Then Follow the Process:
2.1) Go to CMW Recovery MOD & Install Latest CMW 6.0.1.1
2.2) Wipe Data/Factory Reset.
2.3) Go to CMW recovery again & Just Restore you previous backup of any ROM.
2.4) Open ODIN 3.07(Right Click over Exe & select "Run As Administrator") & Follow the steps for flashing Stock ROM using this tutorial
2.5) After Booting just Flash CMW V6 using ODIN 3.07.
2.6) Don't Wipe Data / Factory Reset or Wipe cache / dalvik Cache. Just let it boot.
Now you have Successfully Flashed Nordic ROM over Angeek / Any other ROM.

yes buddy you are correct, you need to wipe all 3 ie data, cache & Dalvic cache..
But i feel its not mandatory to flash XXLQ9 because i use to flash on my Leaked ICS and it was working fine when i used it.....

i followed all the steps mentioned above...the phone booted to the home screen of xxlq9...flashed bb rom successfully as per cwm...but the phone is stuck on the samsung screen that comes after galaxy r appears

It gets stuck for like 10-15 secs but later it flashes ROM properly,
@mj whats wrong to do it with V1.85?
@pulley I also faced same problem yesterday, but I think that time i did not mount/unmout system so I reflashed BB again by pressing two times mount>unmount (final would be unmount/system), so just press two times, still not booting then again wipe all 3 (cache,dalvik and data)

I think there is few points we should consider while flashing BB or MAZEL2 rom if u are on ANGEEK ROM.
If anybody who sucessfully flashed Stock rom & then BB or Mazel 2 after Angeek, must come in front and give us the solution.
@pulley: buddy, as u r the OP, pls add the procesure in ur OP(after getting the solution) and give ur thread name as "Flashing stock rom after Angeek rom". Coz lots of people are flashing over angeek and facing lots of problem.
Asap answer will b appriciated.
