2 Serious problems

I have been a Samsung Galaxy Y user for more than a year. I have to say that this device is awesome. But.... I have later noticed 2 problems.
1) One day I tried to install Elegance ROM. I followed all steps very carefully and when the installation was done, I rebooted my phone. Unfortunately, my phone booted up again at Samsung stock firmware. I tried to enter recovery mode because I wanted to see what went wrong, but I was automatically redirected to CWM recovery. I tried once again to install Elegance ROM, and the result was the same. From that day, CWM is my default recovery. Why? How to fix this??? I can't access stock recovery and I also cannot install any custom ROMs. How to fix this?
2) Even my SD card is full with songs, photos and videos, the "Gallery" and "Music" apps don't read any file. Why? How to fix this?
P.S. I'm running stock 2.3.6 rooted.
Thanks for help.

You have a permanent cwm because you are using a custom kernel with a permanent cwm - probably was included in the rom zip
If you want stock recovery flash stock kernel (can be found in general section or flash hells fusion #50 from dev section and select option to flash stock kernel)
you would of remained on stock rom after flashing another rom because you didn't mount system in cwm before you flashed the zip
As for your other problem flash stock rom via odin as you have probably mucked something up from flashing zips incorrectly

So.... If I flash the stock kernel, will I be able to access stock recovery and flash CWM every time I want?
By the way, this mess with the files started when I changed my phone's SIM card. When I turned my ohine on again, I opened by mistake the "Galery" app. I noticed that no images were there. I also thought that the "music" might also had the same problem. And that's what happened. Which Odin version I will need?
Thanks again.

Yes stock kernel = stock recovery and you can flash a temporary cwm
there is no problems with a permanent cwm in custom kernels as you need cwm to flash roms
If you goto phone settings about phone it will show you your current baseband - for example mine is xxlf3
You can either download that stock rom firmware from dokys thread if there or any other from your country

Thanks everybody. You are all really helpful. I appreciate your help. But tell me, do I need to mount system before installing Elegance? And while I'm having a custom kernel installed, can I flash roms or I need the stock kernel?
Thanks again.

Follow instructions on the op of the rom you want to flash
you must always mount system before flashing a zip else nothing will happen - you can flash zips all day and no changes would happen as it can't write to system as it's not mount!
As a general rule
wipe system
wipe data
wipe cache
mount system
mount data
mount cache
flash zip
format data (not always required just for some roms)
restart
you do not need to go back to stock to change rom
There are guides in general section - please read them first then you would understand the process

A few months ago, I installed Creed 3.5 ROM. It was awesome. I want to install it again but tell me:
Can I install it while I have a custom kernel installed? If yes, do I need to mount system before installing? Thanks for help

Yes you can flash it over any kernel and yeah mount all the partitions after formatting them.

I refer you to my previous post in this thread
wipe data system cache
mount everything
flash rom
you can use any compatible kernel

The problem with the files is caused by the sdcard

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

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

because it is a temporary cwm so you should flash it again and again for use

There are two types of cwm
Temporary - for users of stock kernel or custom kernel that uses stock recovery
Permanent - cwm is built into the custom kernel & replaces stock recovery
if you want a permanent cwm flash a kernel with permanent cwm (see the kernel features in it's thread)

there has been a permanent cwm for galaxy y for years!!
there are two types of cwm
1 - tempory cwm zip
flash this in stock recovery to get to cwm - needs to be flashed each time you want to enter cwm
2 - permanent cwm
flash a custom kernel with cwm built in - this replaces stock recovery
If you want a permanent cwm just flash a kernel that has cwm built it!

thats exactly what i meant! the first option is hardly permanent, especially if you accidentally delete the .zip.
and what if someone doesn't want to flash kernels?
other phones have a .zip that you flash once and have cwm permanently. that's what i meant by a permanent cwm!

Then get another phone that has that function.
Remember, our phones are not godly, not everything-can-do phones. They are only bottom-range phones. Hardware and software limitations cause this issue. If you want to fix it, do it yourself.
But if you want to contradict yourself and say "I wanna stick to my little Y" then flash a kernel.
Which is essentially in a zip.
And then you get permanent CWM.
Problem solved.

other phones work in a different way - for example HTC phones have fastboot and a recovery totally different from a samsung galaxy y 5360
the only way in this phone to replace the recovery perminantly is to flash a kernel that has it

CWM stuck trying to install ROM

OK. Tried to install CM11 on my phone today. Stupidly tried with ROM manager. The flash failed. I tried to go back to recovery but each time I boot to recovery CWM tries to flash the same ROM. So I couldn't get back into cwm to nandroid restore. Tried re-flashed cwm with Odin but still would try to install the ROM at recovery. Had to flash twrp clear everything re-flash my original ROM and titanium backup restore. Any ideas how I can stop cwm from trying to re-flash the problem ROM if I go back to cwm recovery??

Hi,
What phone variant do you have?
i9505 or i9505G?

Maybe you can find where the recovery script is located that CWM is trying to open? Then delete that file so CWM won't be able to take orders from it.

It's the i9505 but with the Google version of 4.4.2

That's what I was guessing but have no idea where this is stored. It's pretty low level so I'd be surprised if it was file based.
