Always click thankx if u find it useful
here is the mediafire link for .zip files that u need for all this work.
http://www.mediafire.com/?evfo2dlq9m92w
go to this link download file ( i consider u have cwm already installed on your phone) if u dont have cwm dont worry give it a try in this link u will find a .zip file named as recovery,..zip jst rename it to update.zip and install it from recovery menu// u can also give this update thing a try with the su.zip files file are main for rooting
Thanks for reponse. But I mention that my phone cant connect to pc, I've tried it alot, I cant connect my phone to pc in download mode so I cant instant cwm. everything I can try is self root apk or flash a rooted rom with base stock recovery.
okk if u cant flash cwm then its quite troubling
if ur usb dosn't work why don't u rush to the service center they will solve this problem in say 15 to 20 mins... better go there and get it serviced ...

Well you can do that. I mean you can install CWM recovery without connecting your device via USB.
If you can download CWM recovery or Recovery menu directly on your device, follow these instructions.
Extract recovery.img file from downloaded zip file.
Keep it in sdcard's root directory. (/sdcard/recovery.img)
Now copy following commands and save it as Install_recovery.sh in your sdcard's root directory
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
mkdir /sdcard/fih
mount -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /sdcard/fih/
cd /sdcard/fih/image/
mv /sdcard/fih/image/recovery.img ./recovery.img
cd /
umount /sdcard/fih
rm -r /sdcard/fih/
And use any script manager or Terminal emulator to run this file.
Using terminal emulator:
Code:
cd /sdcard/
sh Install_recovery.sh
Now boot into recovery. You should boot into new recovery.
P.S. Similar How-To is also posted in a thread: Restoring stock recovery: (without Download mode). I have just modified it a bit.
Thanks! I'll give it a try. But does Script manager and terminal emulator is a apk that i can install and use to run the command saved in Install_recovery.sh?
So that I run terminal emulator apk and type
"cd /sdcard/
sh Install_recovery.sh" ?
ok. I've tried but the emulator report errors. I think I must have rooted phone to install cwr with your solution. The error is
$ export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH
$ cd /sdcard/sh install_recovery.sh
cd: bad substitution
$ cd /sdcard/
$ sh install_recovery.sh
, Invalid argumentsdcard/fih
mount: No such file or directory
cd: can't cd to /sdcard/fih/image/
failed on '/sdcard/fih/image/recovery.img' - No such file or directory
cd: can't cd to /
failed.
rm failed for /sdcard/fih/, No such file or directory
$
So how do I get cwr on my phone to root it via cwr method?

dude ... do you have a memory card reader ...???
if u have a card reader then jst remove ur card from phone plug into pc copy all the files i.e cwm recovery update.zip and su.zip
[Installation Instructions]
[Using CWM recovery]
Copy CWM recovery-fb0-v5_signed.zipin sdcard
Boot into recovery (Steps are given below for how-to-boot-into-recovery)
Use "install zip from sdcard" option
Locate and choose CWM recovery-fb0-v5_signed.zip from sdcard for instllation
After installation reboot into recovery (advanced > Reboot recovery)
i suggest rename the .zip file to update.zip
and then follow rooting instruction
I mean that I've got a stock rom without root. So I havent CWM recovery installed on my phone.
My usb hub on my phone has broken and the phone waranty service not avainable in my country so I need a root solution without usb connecting.
As I know I need rooted phone first to install CWM recovery. Or I need a method to install CWM recovery by stock recovery.
I also try to flash back to 2.2 froyo version to root my phone by gingerbreak apk but not successed. When I try to flash any stock rom 2.2 or 2.3.4 the stock recovery allways report error and didnt worked. The error that stock recovery say is:
Enter lauch_image_update
Prepare failed rc= -209
PID doesnt match!
You cant download this nb0
Some error during preparing
So now I cant do anything with stock recovery only hardreset can done. No flash firmware.nb0 rom no update the update.zip
And when I try to flashing update.zip (CWM recovery-fb0-v5_signed_2.zip I renamed it to update.zip) stock recovery say error that:
verifying update package
E:signature verification failed

There is still one option left.
You can create your own nb0 file (since thats the only option working), which has cwm recovery and rooted ROM.
Right now i am away from my work place so cant help you till next monday.

I have another android ( x10 mini pro) and I know that we can make a backup by stock recovery or cook a rom for flashing by stock recovery. But before public the rom the deverloper have to tested it because bootloop is the problem of flashing rom. So before flashing new rom we need do a hardreset and after flashing rom we also need a hard reset to solve boot looping problem.
because of brocken usb hub on my phone. I need tested before flashing. :'(
the test is:
1 make a nb0 file from a phone that working good.
2 try to flash nb0 by stock recovery to another phone to confirm that nb0 work good for all phone.
3 Note that some rom is working realy good for some phone but can make bootloop for another phone because of different keynell they are ussing or we dont make factory reset and do a wipe data and cache also get bootloop problem

Hi...
Are you sure that your phone has this usb problem? Not the usb cable?
I've an experienced with usb cable which has problem to connect, then I use blackberry usb data cable, then it works. My problem is the cable can't powered enough the phone to make data connection.
OR... you can flash Andro-ID RC1 first before other ROMs, which Andro-ID RC1 is the nb0 file (may be you can flashed it using stock recovery) and this RC1 is pre rooted and it has CWM recovery in it. Then you can use CWM to flash other zip based ROMs, including to update CWM it self to a newer version.
Hope it help....
Sorry if I missed understood of your problem! If you want to stay on WellCom 2.3.4 and rooted unwired, someone has to make update.zip with the su+superuser.apk and signed with appropriate key (FIH)

Thats a good option. I thought you have already tried it and received an error saying "### ID mismatch"
Anyway if you have not downloaded it yet, then I have one other option for you. I have created an nb0 file which contains only CWM recovery and nothing else.
This file will install Recovery menu v2 which includes both CWM and stock recovery and no system files/data files.
To install, download attached file to your device and extract firmware.nb0 file from it. (For zip file extraction, you can use ES_explorer).
And then install it using your stock recovery.
After installation system will boot in your current ROM. Reboot into recovery and you will find recovery menu instead of stock.
Disclaimer: I am not an expert in creating nb0 file. Here I have just deleted all unnecessary files from stock nb0 file and replaced recovery image with recovery menu's image. So far this works on my device. I have tried it installing when I am on stock ROM. (Though it was not necessary)
I am not to be held liable/responsible if you damage your phone by following / not following this post.

I followed the guide over at cyanogenmod for installing ICS. I had all of the files in the cminstall folder, moboot, recovery etc. I successfully installed CM9 but the recovery did not install. Rest of the files are no longer present in the cminstall folder, must have been deleted? But the recovery file is still there. So how do I install recovery so I can flash the gapps and so forth.
Thanks
This happened to me a couple days ago, what i did was the following:
1. place update-cwm_tenderloin-1012.zip in the cminstall folder in your touchpad. get another copy of the zip for the next step
2. Your going to run CWM through novacom, so unzip the update-cwm_tenderloin-1012.zip file wherever your novacom file is.
3. boot the Webos recovery
4.connect to pc, and run "novacom boot mem:// < uImage.ClockworkMod" (remove "") this should take you to CWM
5. goto install from zip, go to the cminstall folder and install the update-cwm_tenderloin-1012.zip . Reboot.
6. It should be there now... well it was for me
Thanks a lot, everything worked out perfectly
I had the same problem after following the guide on webOS Nation . I finally figured out what i did wrong and here is what i posted on there site.
The download link for ClockworkMod Recovery at CyanogenMod is WRONG use the mirror as you need update-cwm_tenderloin-1012.zip NOT recovery-clockwork-tenderloin-1012.zip if you use the wrong one as I did recovery will not be installed and you will probably spend hours or days as i did trying to figure why recovery is not in you boot menu . That said and done i LOVE the Android option and your easy install guide.
I hope this will help your members who may have had the same problem .
Many Thanks to the starter of this thread who helped me get my brain into gear.

I second this. I had this happen to me. Just get the right zip file and replace the old one on your computer then run ACMEinstaller again the same way you did the first time. The ClockworkMod zip should be the only file in that folder this time though.
CWM still not installing?
i have tried the correct file, and used acmeinstaller. I current have TWRP, but it is not flashing nightlies.. how do i install CWMRecovery now? any ideas?

You guys ROCK!!!
After following, re-following, re-following, etc 8-10 different tutorials with virtually the same exact instructions, I finally found a thread that hit the nail on the head.... I successfully installed Alpha 2, and was able to access moboot to switch back and forth with WebOS, but despite my efforts, I simply couldn't get CWM Recovery or CM9 nightly installed.... Thank you sooooooooo much for helping me FINALLY get CWM Recovery 5.0.2.6 and 20120816 nightly successfully installed on my Touchpad!!!
NEVERMIND -- Fixed it.
Follow the instructions in here exactly and you won't have any issues. Make sure you're using the correct CWM zip file. (i.e. the one that starts with "update", download it here).
Also, make sure you have the updated, correct novacom file in Palm, Inc. See this helpful description and download link.
Also, as others have said, you can simply place ACMEInstaller2 in your Palm, Inc directory, and flash like you would normally by typing novacom boot mem:// < ACMEInstaller2
Spot on. Thanks.
Guys any suggestion on how to uninstall CWM, want to give a try on roms using 4ext.
Lol. Its funny cuz i was thinking the exact same thing this morning.
However, its really simple. just go here. Go down to Download section and download 4ext Revocery Updater. Put that on your phone. install the application thru a file browser. Then open the application and press Online install | upgrade and it will ask for u to connect to 4ext servers. Click Do not display again and then press yes. Install the latest version. This will come in the form of a zip file and put that back on your computer.
Extract the recovery.img (dont rename it for simplicity sake) from the zip folder into ur sdk/platform-tools. Then open the Command Prompt and navigate to the platform-tools folder or alternatively just click shift right click and "open command window here" from within the platform-tools folder. Now power into bootloader and clock fastboot. It shoulds say fastboot USB. Now type into the cmd from your computer
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
and hit enter. Then ure recovery should be flashed. Boot into recovery and u should have 4ext touch reovery

Download 4EXT Updater. Download latest version of 4ext and the phone flashes it for you. Keep in mind that 4ext does not replace cwm, it just copies over it. You backups are still in the cwm folder.

Yes i did flash 4ext recovery and works like a charm. However, its just copied over cwm. I also dont think its possible to uninstall something once its flashed to your phone. its like when u flash something in the ROMs or other things like Mods from the recovery. U cannot remove it (at least from my basic understanding lol). Cuz whenever u wanna flash something in cwm it always says

Once its flashed "over the top", CWM is removed and 4EXT takes its place. Basically anything you flash on top of something else removes what was there before in that exact place. For example if you were sitting on a chair and I came and replaced you, you wouldn't be on that chair anymore, would you?
That is just a precaution because you can go wrong with flashing the wrong thing, and you can't un flash

Downloaded the 4ext recovery, installed it on phone, did the online install, upgraded and installed 4EXT_Recovery_Touch_v1.0.0.5_RC9, extracted recovery image from this file put it in the android folder with the following files adb (application file), AdbWinApi.dll, boot (image file), Fastboot (application file), Unlock_code file. Connected the phone to the computer in bootloader, went to fastboot and connected it to the computer which than showed fastboot usb, went into cmd and typed fastboot flash recovery recvoery.img in the android folder with the above mentioned files with the recovery image file. Now for the past 20 minutes it is stuck at sending recovery <5466 kd>.....
Please help??? dont know what I am doing wrong???
there is other way to Flash recovery by avoiding overwriting files...I used this many time to switch between 4EXT Touch >> CWM >> TWRP...
Right click on command prompt and select 'RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR'...
Give a path of fastboot drivers... (mine is C:/android/adb) depend on ua adb driver location...
type command...
fastboot erase recovery
it will erase ua recovery (It will erase ua recovery only and only if u run command prompt as administrator)
put ua desired recovery in adb folder where u installed adb and fastboot drivers (rename it to recovery for more connivance )
type this command now...
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
it will send ua recovery to system and ua done...
Thanks but right now I am stuck at sending recovery, so if I remove cwm and than flash 4ext as you have suggested and I again get stuck on sending than I won't have any recovery...

So you are saying that after flashing 4ext, you cant boot into recovery???
Cuz i find that kinda funny considering the fact that 'flashing' means you overwrite and replace. Since 4ext is built from CWM I dont see how it wudnt be compatible. Plus our device is fully supported.
It's not that I can not boot into recovery...I cannot flash the 4ext recovery, it gets stuck at sending recovery for ages and than I have to unplug the USB and reboot the phone...

[SOLVED] See below
Hello,
I need to return my phone to repair service and would like to flash a zip from recovery to go back to stock recovery.
(I can't flash thru odin : stuck at "Nand write start").
I just flashed Philz recovery to backup my internal SD data, but want to make it look cleaner... (I'm clean on download screen).
I found this thread but it's a flashable zip for sgh-t879 t-mobile galaxy note :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2072255
Do you think I can try to flash it ? (phone is almost dead already but I don't want to have it says T-mobile at boot or in the recovery ! and be stuck like this :cyclops:!)
Thanks in advance !
Edit : Solved
To create a flashable stock recovery so that my bricked phone looked like untouched for repair service here is what I did :
(follow this guide only if you know what you're doing)
- I took an existing flashable kernel/recovery (tried with Abyss Kernel or Speed Core 15)
- Unzip it in one of my computer folder
- from a stock rom .tar I took the zimage file and copied it over the zimage file in the unzipped folder, replacing previous file
- I selected both zimage file an META-INF folder and zipped them in a new zip named stockrecovery.zip (right clicked with 7zip, chose add to zip...) with Normal compression Level (note when opening the zip file you must directly find zimage and META-INF folder)
- Copied the zip to external SD and installed zip from recovery (signature check disabled)
Hope this may help others.
Note: I can't go in adb shell since though my device is seen. I don't know/think I'm unrooted, but I'll say I did all I could (at my level to make the phone looked like genuine/untouched)...
NB: I prefer not to post the file I created.

What about Modile Odin? does it get stuck with Mobile Odin as well?
Re: Going back to Stock Recovery
Download the philz kernel ics rom zip file. Also download the stock kernel from the stock ics rom. This will be a zimage.
Now open the philz zip file and replace the zimage in that zip file with the stock one. Place it on sd card. Now boot into recovery and flash it. As you have Cwm this should flash.
As always. Do this at your own risk.
Edit: Use speedmod as it has a simple updater script.
Ok, so I tried exchanging the zimage file in the Phil'z zip with the zimage file from the stock rom tar, but it states "installation aborted" when trying to flash...
surely there's a signature system in the meta folder or something...
I also noticed that in Phil'z zip is busybox and superuser apk... which I don't want ...
well, I'll post in Dr Ketan thread... for help again.
Thanks !
Re: Going back to Stock Recovery
Yeah. I forgot that. I check speedmod k15 and it just has a zimage and the updater script. Try with that. If it fails, try the signature verification toggle in recovery.
Well...
without signature verification I also got "installation aborted"....
with signature verification I get "signature verification failed"
there's something blocking the update and it's before the script into the zip starts and prints "Flash SpeedMod Kernel"...
Re: Going back to Stock Recovery
Can you tell me how are you replacing the zimage?

Do not EXTRACT the package. Just open it using 7z and replace the zimage.
Ok, I used 7zip to build the zip and compression level was none... that was the problem.
I used normal compression and was able to flash the zip...
Now my phone really looks like stock (I've got the white box and the little green droid when trying to go to recovery then lot of errors and Android System recovery (3e) and also a clean bootloader screen) !
Ready for repair service !
Thanks a lot !
Ok Great
Ok I edited first post... and I'm ready to go to repair service !
One last thing, is it normal I can't do "adb shell" anymore once in stock recovery (adb devices list my devices, but adb shell is stucked) ?
I wanted to verify that the phone is unrooted now? Do you think it is ?
just replacing the kernel to stock doesnot unroot the phone. hopefully they will not know.. not sure about adb shell
I have a question whose answer I haven't found anywhere after a good while of searching.
I'm on TWRP 2.x and want to update to 3.x via flashing the latest TWRP image from within recovery, using the instructions given in the TWRP site.
In recovery, I hit install --> images... --> choose .img file, and then I'm asked which partition to flash?
Now, according to TWRP website, I have to choose "recovery" partition, but there is no "recovery" partition to chose, since I'm only presented one option: "kernel" partition.
My question is:
Q.- Must I choose that kernel partition and flash the twrp.img there? I'm afraid of doing it without being sure I'm not going to brick the phone.
Thank you in advance for a reply.

That sounds so complicated, why not download z3cTWRP3020.zip from here, put the zip on your sd caard, start the phone into recovery (hold volume down while starting) go into install section and flash it.
If you need to get recovery installed from a PC there is an easy option here
Or have I missed something obvious?
Thank you, @Didgesteve. Let's blame my bad English. Actually what I'm trying to do is almost the same thing you suggest: flash the TWRP.zip from recovery; except that, instead of flashing the zip file (built by Who-knows-whom), I want to flash the original img file provided by TWRP themselves. The procedure should be quite similar, easy and straightforward, except that when flashing a zip we don't need to specify a partition, whereas when flashing a img we do. Here, according to TWRP's website instructions, we should choose "recovery" partition, but it turns out that, at least in my case, there's no such partition, only a "kernel" partition. Is this the one?

I have read the instructions on the TWRP webpage, but I think you're being too literal with your interpretation. The way I read that is find the right version (.img) that you want and flash it in recovery.
But why not go for the ADB option? Or even easier the TWRP manger app from the play store?
I don't believe there's anything wrong with flashing or installing recovery from either of the first twwo links I posted above. If you think that developers on xda are going to start messing with TWRP code, for what advantage!?!? If the TWRP files peddled on the forums were corrupt or a securtiy risk, then it would have been spotted. by now. TWRP is a recovery partition, it doesn't have any network access or install any other files. I completely understand sourcing original software where you can, but saying TWRP might be a risk, it all sounds a bit tin foil hat to me
TWRP manager app didn't work on my phone. It installs but won't open. ADB commands wants connection to a computer, installing ADB on it, etc. Flashing a file via recovery should (and I'm sure is) straightforward. I have nothing personal against xda-developers' zip files, except that I've read somewhere here about someone who bricked his phone when trying to flash TWRP via a zip file he got here.
Anyway, though I appreciate your suggestions, this debate is actually off-topic. My question, which remains unanswered, is basically very simple: Is the kernel (and only) partition the right one to flash TWRP.img file to?

If you're flashing a kernel (.img) then you use flashtool in fastboot mode, there's no partition to chose.
