How to install your old zips when you flashed the new cwm

I just wanted to help those that didn't know this. If you installed the new cwm and have some zips on your sd card you wanted to flash but can't in cwm3? This is what you do. Get quick reboot from market and use that to boot into recovery. (You cant do it manually cause it takes you to the new cwm). It should take you instead of the new recovery but to the old one. From here you can then flash your old amend zip files. Not sure if they all work but I've done some this way. Sorry if this has been posted but I didn't see it.

Thanks for the tip, this was my only reservation to making the switch to CWM3.

YEah I just wanted to share it for those skeptical of going to cwm3.

Thanks for the heads up. I just tried it and it worked. Thanks again.

You know, I hadn't even thought about it, but with the redirect, you're right. That makes flashing amend zips the same as flashing to ext4 was last week.

hm - quickboot > recovery brings me to the new recovery version.
I'm not sweating it-- but can you think of any reason why?

What steps did you take to install ext4 and get the new cwm3? Did you already have ext4 before the new cwm3 or did you do it when the cwm3 came out just by flashing that?

Thank you! I been trying to find a way.

Im not sure if I can speak for decalex but I had Ext4 installed and then flashed CWM3. If I normal boot into CWM I get v3.0.0.5 If i use quick boot I get v3.0.0.2

That's the way I did it too. I don't know why that is. It has something to do with the redirector. Try booting into recovery from rom manager and see what you get? Rom manager takes me to the old cwm .0 and then I select reboot rec. And I get to the .2 hack. The one you want.

You know come to think of it what rom are u using? Cause I'm on bonsai and I can't get anything to boot me into the cwm v. 3.0.0.2. I think the rom depends on what cwm you boot into. When I was on quantum I don't think I could get into the older cwms. The three finger took me to 3.0.0.5 and quick boot took me to 3.0.0.2 but when I went to bonsai quick boot takes me to the older cwm hack .2 but the three finger always take you to the .5 new one. This was just for me I don't know if it's accurate for everyone but if you are not on bonsai and can't get into the older cwm maybe you could try bonsai and see then if you can. Let me know if anyone else this worked for. Thanks.

You have to partition your SD card (gparted/ubuntu...)
1st: fat32 put the rom-zip into the root of this partition
2nd: ext4 1GB
3rd: ext4 400MB
4th: linux swap
Install CWR via MAGLDR like flashing a NAND rom (DAF etc...)
reboot, enter MAGLDR and goto boot AD SD - now U enter CWR
and then follow the steps as mentioned in the rom thread. (chose ZIP dfrom SD card... install... reboot...)
Good luck
It´s quite easy.

The above post will work UNLESS you use one of the cwm 1.3 partitions. Using cwm 1.3 puts the recovery files on NAND (so no need to copy files to the root of your sd card for recovery to work. In order to boot into Recovery you need to select AD Recovery instead of Boot AD SD

How did you flash it? maybe you just ran it off the sd? Are you on cLK or Magldr?

I am on CLK. I flash the zip in old recovery. Then new one shows up, but after reboot I have old again...

Want to return to STOCK from CM7.2

Hi, am using now CM7.2 ROM
i want to back to my custom stock based rom ( i have nandroid backup of custom stock rom )
how can i get back using CWM???

use odin first before you restore your backup or use ext4converter of rio.. but i recommend odin for you.
Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda premium

No need to use odin
flash hells fusion #50 kernel (it supports ext4)
restart to recovery
restore your nandriod backup
if you get boot error when restore nandriod as you used a different kernel just advanced restore and restore system and data only

If direct restore the backup, then what happen..

Will probably restore but won't boot on percy cm7 kernel
that's why I said flash hells fusion #50 kernel as it supports ext4 system partitions & stock based roms so you can easily switch between hells fusion #50 kernel & stock based roms & percys kernel & cm7 based roms

Need odin download link for ubuntu

Did you try to format system data and cache under mounts and storage before you mounted

To format itself its required to mount.. mount fail..

Not true - when you first flash percy's kernel you get mount errors
you just format system data cache then you can mount them

too bad i dont have source for that.. ask marcus or just follow his instructions maybe you can still revive it try to format if it can fix error

There's only two ways I can think of using odin/flash rom on Ubuntu
1- use virtual box and run Windows inside it
2- use Linux commands in terminal (you will have to Google if it's possible)
there is wine but unless there are drivers for ubuntu your phone won't be detected
try reading this as alternative although no guarantees it will work with galaxy y

[Q] Galaxy Y custom kernel problem

So yeah, hey XDA, first post here
I have got a problem with my SGY, whenever i flash a custom kernel via CWM, I get stuck at splash screen. And when i flash stock kernel via Odin, phone boots normally.
Do you guys know what is the problem?
Kernels I have tried:
1.Kuro - loop at splash
2.Hells-fusion - loop at splash
3.Savie - stuck at splash
Any help would be really appreciated.

Most likely you failed to mount system before flashing the zip or your baseband needs updating
Make sure you goto mounts & storage in cwm and mount system before flashing any zip (will display "unmount system" if it is mounted)
To update baseband flash one of the latest stock roms via odin - see my firmware thread - link it signature

Thanks for your reply
Yeah I did mount everything in CWM, it's probably the baseband thing. I have the latest firmware file for my region (Baltic States). Will it work?
Here is the version of it:
PDA:XXMI1
MODEM:XXMG1
CSC:SEBLL1
KERNEL:XXMI1
Anyways, gonna make a nandroid backup and try to flash the whole stock firmware.
EDIT:Flashed stock with wipe, rooted, flashed savie - no luck.

Yes that's the latest firmware
The only other thing I can think of is that you are using the wrong cwm
Here is my one - Flash it in stock recovery then mount system & flash zip
http://d-h.st/u2m
Also there are different versions of savie - make sure you are using the stock one if on stock rom and not the cm one
I would use hells fusion #50 myself for testing

I dont know what your problem is - do you have any mount scripts for linking sdext
You can format data and wipe cache & delvik cache & see if it boots
Other than that without seeing your phone I cannot offer anything else

Use aroma file manager - Flash it in cwm with system mounted
Goto system/etc/init.d
Delete everything in there so nothing can conflict

His kernel is technically banned on XDA due to not being able to provide the sources
All I can say is long as you are the right one - there's one for stock and one for cm7 but I'd just use hells fusion #50
