How to uninstall CWM Recovery

Hi,

I installed CWM recovery 5.0.2.6. after installing it i found out that installing a custom rom will void my warranty. I couldn't find the stock rom i had in my Galaxy Mini on Web. It is S5570XWKQ5.

Is there a way to uninstall CWM recovery without flashing another rom ? Can you please help me in detail because i am quite a noob in these matters.

Regards,

If it is not possible to uninstalll, can you please tell me how if it is possible to downgrade to Clockwork Mod Recovery v4.0.0.5. And how can i do that ? I am sorry about being urgent about this but i am really stucked.

To remove CWM you can delete /system/bin/hijack and /system/bin/logwrapper

Then rename /system/bin/logwrapper.bin to /system/bin/logwrapper.

At least this is how it was on froyo. will probably hold true for GB.

I guess had to say this, i haven't flashed or rooted my phone with a custom rom. My version is 2.3.4 and i couldn't find any hijack on /system/bin

I used ES Explorer to delete logwrapper.bin but couldn't manage to do it. I guess that is because it is not rooted so ES Explorer can't work as Root Explorer.

Just. flash your rom with original GB firmware using ODIN and then you will get stock recovery. If you know your rom details download one from sammobile.com and then falsh it using ODin.

I know that it is possible to get back the stock recovery by flashing it with my current rom.

But problem the problem is this my current rom does not exist online. It is the turkish rom and you can only find it by going to the technical service and paying a certain amount.

So i have to do this w/o getting installed a stock rom.

Then I guess you will have to do so OR, just stay with CWM recovery installed on your device.

I don't want to pay 30$ for just a single rom flashing.

Is it possible to backup my current rom and then flash a custom rom with cwm 5.0.2.6 without getting bricked.

Worst case scenerio if would have bricked the thing could i restore the backup i would have had or flash a custom rom.

Please help me yagya. I came to this point by not reading carefully your cwm installing guide.(noticed the 5.0.2.6 warning but it was too late) i am not blaming or anything just aiming your conscience.
