stock recovery shows data I thought I deleted

you just flash cwm (update.zip) in stock recovery and thats it, theres no permanent unless you flash d kernel. this thread's cwm is temporary. so you have to flash everytime you want to e=access cwm from stock recovery

Hi all

i copied update.zip to my SD card but the stock recovery shows me data (I thought) I deleted instead of update.zip when entering 'apply update from external storage'.
I already formated the SD card with the Galaxy Ace 2 and my Fairphone, as well as deleted all(?) data from the SD card when the phone incl. SD card (Ace 2 and Fairphone) was plugged to a laptop (Win XP and Ubuntu).
The Fairphone stock recovery shows the data I expect on the SD card but the Galaxy Ace 2 stock recovery still shows the 'outdated' data. Any idea what goes wrong and how it can be fixed?

The Galaxy Ace 2 (GT-I8160P) runs the 'Samsung' Android 4.1.2, baseband version I8160PXXMF1.

WARNING - Link provided - loads of adware!

I followed your link to download the update.zip (from here: - to install cwm for a glaxy ace 2) - but the download itself came in the form of a .exe. After musing about it for half an hour, I executed the file and the whole thing sent my virus scanner mental. It just starting downloading and installing adware - and hopefully nothing I didn't pick up.

After a good cleanup I'm ready to go again. Anywhere else I can get the update.zip?
