[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.

Its a boot loop. Do you have latest version of recovery installed? I will prefer TWRP v3.

how could you flash tar file in cwm ????
we are trying to change cwm recovery to twrp recovery
are you getting this ???
in twrp recovery there is no such problem as bootloop etc
so just flash twrp through odin
and then flash whatever you want to flash through twrp

If you already installed it from odin then forget, otherwise if you want to install TWRP from CWM. I can help you to make flash able zip. And it will work also. Because I did it so many times.

You can install SamyKat Rom

Enter the download mode using the key combination, not through recovery. It will work.

i faced the same problem
there are 2 way to solve this problem
1. changes your samsung usb drivers there are many kind of it which has different size, i use the 23MB of Samsung Usb Drivers and install it then flash the rom you want to install through odin
if the first method doesn't work try second method
2. download the rom you want to install, better to download the stock rom and then sent it to your micro sd card then flash it through cwm it'll work
if i help you don't forget to hit thanks

why don't you try TWRP, its here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...recovery-twrp-3-0-2-0-samsung-galaxy-t3468405 and the best thing its flashable without Odin. If you dont have custom recovery but your device is rooted then try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mkrtchyan.recoverytools&hl=en (Rashr App) to flash it.
If your device is not rooted and no custome recovery but you still wanna get it, then follow the rest of this post:
1st Get the KingRoot Apk from the XDA.
2nd Download and Install it.
3rd Root your device from the app and flash the recovery using the Rashr app.
4th Optional: Highly Suggested though, get the latest build of SuperSu and keep in SD/ Internal. Now uninstall Kingroot from the app, it removes the root too, but who cares, you have the recovery now. Now boot into recovery and flash the SuperSu zip.
Why did i Suggest SuperSu, well Kingroot contains some bloatware stuff and takes more space then SuperSu and is bit slow.
P.S sorry for my bad English.

first you have to confirm and know your mountpoints and partitons. ask me if you cant find it.
Download the aroma file manager and put it on your sdcard
then boot into recovery and flash that
you will be welcomed with a filemanager
browse to system/bin and press options and start terminal from that.
now enter the command make_ext4fs /dev/block/mmcblk0pXX MMCBLK0PXX being your desired mountpoint.
By desired mountpoint i meant the partition that you want to fix.!!!
try that and notify me for further help.
press thanks if i helped.
