If you have rooted the device install Rom manager and flash the recovery, but if you not rooted the device root it.

If you want to flash it with Odin you have to rename it to recovery.img and make a *.tar of it. (custom binary download will increase)
To use it as it is you have to use terminal emulator.
Rename it to recovery.img
put the .img-file on your external sd
Oper terminal emulator and type:
"su"
"dd if=/storage/extSdCard/recovery.img of=dev/block/mmcblk0p21" (If you use CM10 you have to change "/storage/extSdCard/" to the right path for that rom)
Make sure you get the digits in the end right or else you might not be able to boot again.
This will write the recovery image to your recovery partition.

I don't know if it works with winrar, IZArc or similar. You have to try it
I've been using Cygwin to make *.tar.md5 files.
Place the recovery.img in /cygwin/home/"username"/
Use these commands:
tar -H ustar -c image_1 [image_2 ...] > your_odin_package.tar
md5sum -t your_odin_package.tar >> your_odin_package.tar
mv your_odin_package.tar your_odin_package.tar.md5
For CWM it could be like this:
tar -H ustar -c recovery.img > recovery-clockwork-6.0.2.7-golden.tar
md5sum -t recovery-clockwork-6.0.2.7-golden.tar >> recovery-clockwork-6.0.2.7-golden.tar
mv recovery-clockwork-6.0.2.7-golden.tar recovery-clockwork-6.0.2.7-golden.tar.md5

The better question is why?
Have you tried flashing it via adb shell or terminal emulator? (assuming it comes as a standard .img file)
adb shell:
Code:
adb shell
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/NameOfRecoveryHere.img
terminal emulator:
Code:
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/NameOfRecoveryHere.img
fixed it!!

if you have care bears on your recovery you're running the olddddd version. You should update your RA to darch's unofficial (<- get this one ) or the godspeed recoveries.
You can download either one from HERE

try putting the recovery.img in the root directly of your sdcard (the main directory of the sdcard) and see if it finds the file.
EDIT: found this tutorial

Hi there,
I want To flash the recovery needed for the multirom mod, but i'm not sure how To do it. in the multirom thread i can download the recovery but its a ZIP file.
I did also installed cwm and normal twrp before, but i did it through the terminal APP. I just placed an image file in the root of my SD and typed this Command:
su
cat /mnt/sdcard/recovery-6028.img >/dev/block/mmcblk0p1
sync
And it worked.
But in other thread i also saw this Command:
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
Where are the diffrences? Which one will work?
And one more, can i use all ADB Commands in thE terminal app? Does the terminal APP acces ADB like through fast Boot?
Thx for some help, hope my english is good enough ^_^

You can flash the TWRP as a zip in CWM/TWRP or whichever recovery your using!
However if it doesn't work, Boot to boot loader/fastboot, theres a thread on this, put the TWRP recovery.img in the directory with the adb and fastboot.exe's, make sure you have drivers installed, and do this command when in fastboot
Code:
fastboot flash recovery [Name of recovery].img
Check the multirom thread, i have a tutorial posted :3
Oh man !
So easy, can't believe xD
Ty for the other step by step guide, but isn't it the same as if i extract the Boot.IMG, Place it on root and type one oft the commands above?
But THX anyways for the fast answear

How To Restore in 2nd Method(Recommended):
1) Download the attachment below, named 'Restore.zip'
2) Extract the contents of the zip somewhere on your SD card.
3) Replace the dummy files,which you find when you extract the zip, with the backups you made above.
4) Don't forget to delete the dummy files which you don't need to restore.
5) Again compress the contents.
6) Boot to recovery & flash the zip which you just compressed with the backups.
7) Your backup will be restored, enjoy... :good:

F.A.Qs
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Where does the backup gets stored?
A: It's in sdcard/backups/
Q: While backuping/restoring in terminal emulator I get Access Denied or something message like that.
A: Make sure your phone is rooted & don't forget to type "su" in terminal emulator before following any of the steps above.
Q: Why is second method of restoring recommended?
A: Because it restores the backup in recovery, so that you don't brick up your device while restoring system.img or few other backups while phone is on.
Q: Then why did you posted the first method?
A: First method of restoring is only for advanced users, who knows what they are doing.
Q: Can I use this method of backuping in my non-mtk device?
A: No, you can't, this guide is strictly only for MTK devices.
Q: I want to contribute/donate to you, where can I?
A: I'm still 14,& I don't need any money. Instead you can hit thanks. And if you liked my work that's enough for me.

i did using touch recovery is this the best recovery to do backup? if no please give link for some other recovery
Why are you opening it?
If you have to restore then boot into recovery again and restore.
If you want apps, etc. there's an app that can extract apps from a nandroid
