Downgrade CWM 6 to CWM 5 - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

I want to downgrade from CMW 6.x (that comes with KernelPanic) to CWM 5.x, because with CWM 6 you cannot restore a backup. Using CWM 6 the android.secure-backup part is corrupted and therefore all applications on SD are gone.
I tried various methods like x-part, copying files to /system/bin and /system/xbin and one-click-installs using adb, but it will not replace the CWM 6.x. Is that because it's somehow build in with the kernel (in KernelPanic)? Or am I missing something?

Yes, exactly. Because it's built in kernel. In ramdisk to be precise.

u have to flash a kernel that have cwm 5.
this is the only solution

copy the android_secure.vfat.tar part of the backup to your computer .
Use 7z or WinRar to extract the file
You will find a bunch of files with extension .asec
Attach your phone to computer ...
Navigate to .android_secure
copy the asec files to android_secure
Profit !!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
yes, this is the way of restoring that data manually to sd card.

Thanks for all the answers. I will install the Radeon Kernel, which is quite fast also and has CWM 5 in it.
