[Q] [ I9001 ] Restore stock recover - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all guys!
I've searched into the whole forum and Internet but I cannot find an answer to my question.
After the FeaMod Recovery installation I know I can return to stock recovery by installing a stock ROM. This is a great thing.
But what about restoring stock recovery without installing the whole ROM?!?! Is it possible?!
Sorry if my question has an answer in the forum yet... I really can't find it.
Thank u very much!!!

If you extract original recovery from a stock rom you can dd it to your device. Or you take the stock recovery.img and modify the flashable cwm zip by replacing cwm recovery.img with stock recovery.img and flash that with cwm.

Hi. First of all TY for ur reply.
Then for this I need some help 'cause I've read hundreds of guides and wikies but I'm not really a master!
1) Ur first tip seems a little dangerous! Anyway how can I extract the recovery from stock ROM with dd?! Has to be the phone rooted?! Or adb it's enough?!
2) Ur second tip seems to be better! But where I can take the stock recovery.img?
And then, after replacing it in the CWM zip I've to do something else before flashing zip from sdcard?!
Really thank you for your tips!

The attached file should reflash the stock XXKPU recovery to your 9001. Tested and works with FeaMod 1.4.

Hi wintel.
Thanks for your reply.
Only last question, I promise!!!
May I use the file u posted with every ROM I've installed or it has to be used only with XXKPU ROM?!?!
Sorry, but I quiet new with Galaxy world!!!

the stock recovery is the same and should be ok for all roms.
this issue was already discussed in I9001 Q&A thread and in the Feamod thread, wintel made it easy for u and gave u a flashable zip,u could replace the recovery.img also through adb or terminal emulator with dd code.(assuming the recovery.img is in the root of internal sd). (keep this code somewhere in case u need it another time)
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13
reboot

E: can t mount / eMMC. I mention that I can put it in download mode. but every time I tried to do something with odin I failed. please and hope you can help me. Thanks in advance.sorry for my English

kindly please direct your query to Arky's thread and the Moonrom thread with regards to flashing the respective roms... lets help make the DEV section clean.... Thanks....
To answer your question : as per instructions on those threads... make sure you flashed CWM recovery or FeaMod recovery (1.2 or 1.4) before you can flash any CWM based rom. I think moonrom v.4 uses the new KQB rom so you have to flash it first via odin then install CWM / FeaMod recovery to flash the said rom...

How to install CWM ? (solved)

Hi,
I've rooted my phone. I've installed ROM Manager. The latest version is "ClockWorkMod 2.5.1.2". Root permissions are OK. When I reboot in recovery with ROM Manager he tells me that :
Code:
-- Installing package...
Finding update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
This installation is about CWM am I right ? How can I install CWM without getting an error ?
Thanks.
Edit : sorry but can someone move this in the right place ? I made a mistake...
I'm in Android 2.3.4 and I want to install CyanogenMod 10. For that I need CWM Recovery.
When I click on "Flash CWM Recovery" I choose my device and there's something downloading and tells me "Successfully downloaded CWM Recovery" but when I click "Reboot to recovery" I have an error (the one in my first post).
I had that problem 2 when I started. Turned out to be a recovery bug. With some batches of our phone it seems that you can only enter android recovery v3 and not cwm after rooting. Most kernels are not compatible with v3 only 2.
Just read & follow the steps in my post in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1993937
Is that compatible with all Galaxy S ? I have a French (European maybe) device.
I have i9000 im from Holland. Its an open europe rom. U can flash it No problem.
Done flashing rom. Flash the cf root from my post
Sorry for the late. It's working, I'm now running with CyanoGenMod 10.
Thanks for your help.
Help!!

Nice one Donovan662, ive now got JVT and rooted, thanks very much!
Now i just need to choose a decent Jellybean ROM, but at least i can get in to CWM Recovery now to work from.
Although im a bit confused about terminal emulators and downloading to the sdcard bit. here goes another couple of hours research!
Just one question tho; do i need to get back to JW4 now?

[Q] Clockwork Recovery installation

Hi Guys,
I've been trying to install CWR on my samsung GT-i9000 all day but the result is my phone doesnt boot anymore.
I can boot to download mode so that at least positive
I've tried to follow the guide i've linked below but the problem is I cant download the rom he refers to.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379650
I installed the CWR from his guide but I cant start into recovery to install a ROM
All the ROMS is see in development are zip files (and i need recovery for this i think) and there are not TAR files
I hope some1 can put me in the right direction.
Thanks a lot!
Kind regards,
Jesse

Thanks a lot fazbarulho!
I opened the file and see there is also a recovery option.
I assume I have to flash the rom first with odin and use the following files:
s1_odin_20100512.pit
CSC_JW4.tar
PDA_JW4.tar
PHONE_JW4.tar
And after that reboot and flash using:
CF-Root-XX_OXA_JW4-v4.4-CWM3RFS
Is this correct?
EDIT: I can confirm that this method works for other people who want to install CWR.
fazbarulho really nice from you to help me, thanks again!

Jesse

[Q] PROBLEM!!! Can't flash anything bellow ics

Hi! I have an lg OB running ics 4.0.4(V30B). The phone it's rooted and I have CWM installed from Rom Manager. I can acces Recovery from Rom Manager and with the phone off ( VOLUME PLUS + G KEY). The problem is that I can't flash any Rom bellow ics (not even with Smart Flash Tools) without getting bootloops. I can flash Roms based on ics and above( IZS,CM10.1,NAMELESS ROM NIGHTLIES 4.4.4).
Could someone help me?

I was hoping you fixed the issue. I don't know what to do.
It's a matter of unlocking the boot loader. Once you do that, you can jump back and forth between ICS-based ROMs and everything else.
Gingerbread ROMs include the boot loader (marvel and Huexxx).

Man I can flash ICS-based ROMs .JB and KK, I can't flash GB stock or GB-based ROMs, not even with SFT.
I think the bootloader it's unlocked because I can acces CWM from switch off phone(key combo)....I am confused because i read many tutorials but they are contradictory
That happends also with me 2 times.
Just flash CWM recovery again.

Try toii install a ROM right after rebooting from flash.
What I did is: Install a JB ROM, After, I reinstall CWM with ADB, reboot and then I could install any rom.

Did you unlocked the bootloader first? can you put a link with your froyo and SFT?
I am from Romania so I need an Europe Open
No, I don't tried to unlock bootloader, but like you , I got the bootloops every time I downgrade from ICS, Nameless or cyanogen roms . I use original Froyo - flashed with SFT , then upgrade to GB with Cwm recovery patch- flashed with SFT, then boot to recovery and install Nameless. I will give you the links, once I uploaded to my dropbox.

Did you already try the alternative way without the app? Which means load the files to your sdcard and afterwards type the dd if=xxxx of=xxxx? This could show if it works or fails. And did you ever flash the LU5900 port? So the early ICS ROM released by Redy, Gabwerkz and me. Try the manual unlock first.

OK I have the terminal emulator on my phone.
I've read the thread and it says "Move this two files, bootloader and recovery to the root of memory sdcard;
Enter in the command line
su
dd if=/sdcard/u-boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
And reboot or reboot recovery."
I have downloaded all on my laptop(bootloader recovery and su) but I am confuse....what's with that "su"?
Do I have to put it on the root of the sdcard too?
Sorry for my noob question
