I have tried it once and it worked
here is what i did:
1: flash the ROM
2: Use qtadb to copy /system folder
3: make update .zip

Well there is a way to flash zImage as it is from cwm - search in development forum - marcellusbe posted about it
But no way exists to flash rfs files from cwm

[RECOVERY] ClockworkMod Touch & non-Touch 6.0.2.5

Hey Guys
I am sharing the latest CWM recovery images; CWM 6.0.2.5
To be straight, I used Koush's Recovery Builder to build these
latest recovery images in both, touch & non-touch variants.
And so I do not take any credit, all of it to Koush. Also, I didn't
publish a thread for this in development section since I didn't
perform any development on this.
Downloads
Touch Recovery TAR
Non-Touch Recovery TAR
Touch Recovery ZIP
Non-Touch Recovery ZIP

How to build on your own?
Visit the Recovery Builder
Click on the "Existing Devices" tab.
Now under the Existing Devices dropdown, select "i9300".
Tick "Touch Recovery" option if you desire for the touch variant, otherwise do not touch it.
Now click on the blue colored "Build" tab.
The page will then prompt you with a reference build ID, take note of it.
Now continue to build server.
Look for the corresponding build ID.
Once its done, click on it.
You can now download your "recovery.img" build.
How to flash?
flash TAR files with Odin or mobile Odin
flash ZIP files in recovery
and dont forget to hit thanks if you like this

tried flashing this recovery but it doesn't flash either through odin or mobile odin.

Open .tar file using 7zip and get recovery.img. Then flash it using Mobile Odin. Works fine for me

Yes that to forgot odin can now flash img files now lol my mistake
im what Willis was talking about

what the difference with the 6.0.1.2 touch version ?

Is there any reason why to select the 'crespo' build from the existing devices drop down box??
What's the difference between picking the crespo rather than the i9300 choice???

............. Well um BIGGEST difference would be that i9300 is the intl s3 and crespo from what i remember is the nexus s so if you pick crespo you would build the latest recovery for the nexus s

Well the biggest thing i noticed was the ability to now sideload

it now only appears when doing a factory reset for good reasons

of course you have to select i9300 for SIII recovery !
crespo recovery is for other phone, don´t try to flash that !!
i guess 1.post is copied from other (crespo) thread, please fix nr.3 (Now under the Existing Devices dropdown, select "crespo".)

Tested 6019 touch recovery, created full backup, reset system, format /system, restored, no errors. Note that default backup is now tar good work

Something is wrong. I used the builder to build my own touch recovery yet mobil odin can't flash it. Not even if I pack it into a rar file. What do?

Best feature: apply zip from adb. (install zip from sideload -- adb sideload [package])
- but doesn't work

Not the very best solution to install a recovery manager like Odin Mobile if i'am without a system ... have someone a recovery in this version that i can flash through
Odin v3 with windooze?
Many thanks

I'd need a cwm flashable zip of it.

I found a tool here and extracted the image via linux reader. Replaced the build.prop file and when I restarted my phone it went completely blank.
The google logo also did not show. I think I bricked it

Did you set the correct permissions (rw-r--r--)? Maybe this is the problem.
If your phone doesn't boot, restore a nandroid backup or flash a ROM

No I did not set those permissions. Just replaced the build.prop file. I don't know what nandroid backup is but I have TWRP installed.
PS: The phone is still on the blank screen.

If you have a ROM in sdcard flash it, if you haven't you have to flash a ROM with adb sideload or a factory image with fastboot (the factory image will erase your data!)

Thanks, I m going to flash 4.4 stock rom from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2535728

Alright, quick update:
I used adb sideload to flash the rom from my above post. Worked like a charm, and I have Kitkat running with root. Also, no data was lost.
First thing I am gonna do now is backup my build.prop and data
Thanks for the help.
Cheers.

Great!

I made the same mistake before, when I hide the softkeys
just for reference, you could have fixed it easily, just by using TWRP's File manager:
1. Mount System
2. Replace with the original Build.prop inside the system directory
3. Click the file -> Change file permissions chmod 775

The download link for the rom works fine for me, yeah just saw the encryption of super su
You can search for the super su fix and download from somewhere else its only needed for rooting the rom

Download SuperSU directly from Chainfire's site - http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
I really don't know why people are renaming his zip and hosting it elsewhere.

So, just to be sure because i've never done this procedure for rooting before.
After flashing the rom, xz dualrecovery and update-supersu zip files, i use flashtool to flash the .ftf file and uncheck all wipe data boxes, and exclude everything except fota,kernel and baseband, am i correct?
It's the last part with the exclusions that i didn't get completely right..sorry if i look like an idiot :cyclops:

that's strange i flashed the file and everything worked fine
What error message did you get? If it was a md5 error then download the file again and then flash it

i get error extracting update-binary if i remember correctly...
anyway after trying some other methods, i managed to unroot my phone..
I'm gonna try your method again, since my phone is kinda messed up now..

flashed the zip but got an error during setting permission
now wifi does not work anymore

same here, just tried again..
set_perm: some changes failed
E:error executing updater binary in zip
Error flashing zip...
Failed
About the wifi, i think it has something to do with the flashtool exclude options..when i tried with this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50234676
wifi worked fine, i had root but some weird issued occurred as i described in the above thread..
and after i tried for a second time, i lost root...so i am back from the beginning...
just to mention i have lb, but i guess it doesn't matter when flashing stock kernels, right?

its going to crash out on
set_perm(1002, 1002, 0440, "/system/etc/dbus.conf");
as there doesn't appear to be a dbus.conf in the zip.
as the remaining permissions then aren't set it could well be why the sensors and wifi etc don't play nicely.

Recovery is never a part of backup. You will need CWM recovery installed to restore this backup.
It is a CWM backup.

Thanks for sharing. I was able to recover back to stock version.
If you still have the original folder name of the cwm backup, please share in order to avoid the md5 error in cwm. Removing and clearing contents of nandroid.md5 didn't work for me. Had to create md5 from adb.
Also do you have stock recovery backup. I flashed the chinese cwm without taking original recovery backup.
For those getting error in extracting the folder. Open the archive and extract the folder inside rather than full archive.

The Zip file or the extracted one ?
Because you can't extract the file it gives and error cannot extract so not sure if the download is broken can someone please explain ?

I happened to me the same, you have to extract the files one by one, and so perfectly drawn.
