Simple.
Just open the zip file you flashed and see what all files it installed (or changed). Delete the corresponding installed files from your system folder using a Root Explorer (or move them away). If files have been modified, you will have to get the stock versions of those files (extract from stock ROM). :good:
Sometimes, mods that are flashed contains scripts that backup system files before modifying them. In such cases, its easy to restore the previous files.

Hi all devs and xda people, since i cannot post on the dev forum i have to ask here...
[Q]: How Do i Install the New CWM without having xrecovery installed?
I just cleaned my phone by flashing it with SEUS, wich i normally do before i'm about to install a new rom, i just rooted my phone and installed the newest version of Root Explorer from market. Also have downloaded the CWM zip provided from the first post by D4rKn3sSyS at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1106146
However, that zip contains two folders, not any single files that you just copied over to /system/bin like you did with xrecovery. so what am i suppsoed to do? wich files, where and what permission should they have?
CWM can be installed only manually using Root Explorer.
Extract files from bin folder in the zip and copy to respective folder with correct permissions (755).
It is missing one file (bin/charge) that can be found on xrecovery.zip file.
Another way is to install xRecovery Mini Pro .apk Unified Installer and after that use cwr_xrecinstall!

Could you tell me exactly what file that is missing? the xRecovery-minipro-0.1.1beta contains three files: busybox, chargemon and xrecovery.tar
I could assume that its the busyboxfile that is missing, but i really dont want to chance and take a risk.

if you only need to install, reinstall or repair your some application, then you only have to extract it, copy it to sd card and install it as a normally .apk. but if it a system apk, you have to push it by using an explorer that can access system file, e.g Root Explorer.
I guess it's not a flashable zip. it's a firmware with .ftf extention inside the .rar.
so you can't install it by CWM, you have to flash it by flashtool. CMIIW
erm..i dnt know..but i couldn't find any .tft file inside..lots of folder..bt sure is,thr lots of .apk files too..
so..how??=.=
wait a minute, I'm downloading it to see the file.

those were system files from your phone that have been extracted from ICS rom...what you see in the system files is the same as in your phone...those system files is good backup in case you decided to remove/edit any system files (bloatware)....
those system files is not for normal install...you have to use Root Explorer to copy and paste it to your phone system files if you want get back the files you have remove before this....
remember you need to change permission for those files (rw-r-r)....

Guys,i have successfully installed kitchen,for my computer.I wanted to know,can we use the cwm backuped rom as base rom,or shouuld I download a stockrom and wich is the latest firmware for galaxy ace ??
Download the newest firmware from samfirmware, flash it through odin, connect your device with the computer and take the /system folder from the phone. Put it in a .zip and you can start building your custom rom.

By using a Root Explorer or by CWM Backup (How you said).
Use splitfus to split the firmware you want. Extract PDA with 7zip. Open system.img with ultraiso. Extract all the contents within a folder. These are the files you will modify. Use any tool to change files as you wish...
:: Broke my leg. Not in the mood of talking. ::
But wen I place system folder,kitchen dosent create working rom folder....it says no rom...

Use one of the roms zip file and replace the system folder inside. Kitchen recognize zip files in right format.

As i said in previous post, take a custom roms zip file delete system stuff in it and replace your stock system files with it... Use newly created zip in kitchen...
:: Broke my leg. Not in the mood of talking. ::
firstly i request all moderators of xda in grand 2 forum,
as i am unable to post on developement section,
i am posting the thread here..
plz move it to developement section.
ok now back to topic,
try at your own risk!
i will not be responsible if anything happens to your phone
To all the users who have succesfully rooted grand 2,
there can be a way to install (flash) recovery on your phone!
i was exploring the system and i found a file in "/system" folder
called "recovery-from-boot.p"
i THINK this is the file that causes problem!
you may delete it or rename it...(renaming is safer)
once you delete it, you may flash custom recovery via ODIN
and even if the recovery gets currupted or if you cant boot into recovery, you can simply boot normally and restore the renamed or deleted file!!!
and then once again you may try to flash custom recovery from ODIN (as stock gets deleted as soon as you modify recovery-from-boot.p file)
press thanks if this post helped!

how would u know that it won't help..
i only post threads as i know what i am doing.
the file which i uploaded up there is taken from MY PHONE ITSELF i.e galaxy GRAND 2..
and That FILE (recovery-from-boot.p) IS present on my phone and i m using Stock rom and not any other rom..
Same with me... none of them named exactly like you mention above.

it only appears on a Stock UN-ROOTED firmware..
In order to inject custom CWM there isnt a necessity to root device.
so firstly we need to remove file that I mentioned in my previous post and inject recovery.
and via that recovery,
we can flash a custom kernel that automatically roots device!

Dude, if the FILE just appears in STOCK UNROOTED FIRMWARE , so how can we delete that.
Coz, to delete a /system file, we need ROOT access.
NOT POSSIBLE.
And in rooted version, the FILE is not available :victory:

Thank you for replying.
I know that it can't be deleted,
but one may understand the importance of that ".p" file and understand its working, as it plays a vital role in booting up recovery...
the only thing I wanna let users understand is that,
stock recovery includes that file and
it got deleted when rooted because the rooting package (eg. CF root) didnt contain the .p file
when I studied that strange file,
it consisted of mapping and accurate memory address as well as accurate size of stock recovery image in bytes,
so that whn new recovery gets flashed, it verifies with the .p file!
and talking abt modifying the .p file,
we must create a custom linux binary with zerglings and packed into .tar file which gets flashed to phone via Odin!
for build creation you can use this tool..

So I found the reason behind this
It is a file used by Software Update Application to flash updates.
If you want proof go-to the data folder of the SOFTWARE UPDATER and there will be a 3mb file. Copy it to pc and open using winrar. You can see many files including boot.img.
So the author of this thread was about to update his/her phone when he found the file :thumbdown:
SO MYSTERY SOLVED

i didnt't get what you are on to...
i noticed that the Update Package (i.e the OTA) easily jumps over all the restrictions imposed by Bootloader(locked one) and gets easily flashed to the phone...
therefore the whole matter is now pointing out to the 'ro.build.fingerprint' as well as Verification of MD5 hashes linked directly to Flashing InstructionSet
Hey,
Today I used a ROM to flash my mobile (Samsung J5 2016 edition, model: J510FN) and I just used the perfect ROM, and it fits perfectly. But when I try to turn on WiFi it goes back swipe to off automatically when I swipe it to on.
I used this rom (version v1.1 because v2 and v3 were gone and bad): https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j5/development/rom-light-stock-rom-v1-t3467865
Someone knows what to do? I'm a beginner, so please explain it good. I have everything btw like Odin, TWRP, latest SuperSU, etc.
Please help.
Thanks
From your stock rom Copy the folder named Permissions from /system/etc and paste it at the same location in your new downloaded rom.
DONOT delete the existing folder , just replace the files.
Good Luck Cheers

You mean an img file , right?
If you have twrp or cwm backup of your stock rom , you can extract it from that file(ext4.system.tar.a) , if you dont have a twrp/cwm backup , you can try to flash stock rom from that img file and then copy necessary files into sdcard and then re flash your new rom and paste the existing files.
Good luck/

No, its an md5 file. Inside the md5 file (when I open it with winrar) it only shows hidedcache files etc and also boot.img
I need to have go to the patch (system/etc/permissions

Then you might need to flash your stock rom first and then copy the necessary files.
I have an Mediatek device , steps to troubleshoot are same , but I have a zip of my stock rom created to access stock files when ever i need them.
I would advise you to do the same for future troubleshooting..
Good Luck mate

And what are the nessecary files? Only the permissions folder or more?

Permission folder worked for me , but i would insist you to copy the entire /system partition as backup once you have flashed the stock rom just in case.
If permission folder doesnt work , then try replacing files starting with wlan from /system/lib/modules from stock to port
Do only when permissions folder doesnt work.
