[How-To] Restoring Recovery when Device running - An easy way (CWM / Stock)

Restoring stock recovery: (without Download mode)
[Preparation]
Our FIH partition which you could see in download mode is huge. (Size: 105 MB Used: 43 MB only)
You could easily keep loads of file in this partition without any problem to your device. (I have not faced any, as of yet!)
Just keep a backup of stock recovery in the "image" folder itself with the name "stock_recovery.img" (size: 4.5 MB only)
[Optional] And backup of CWM recovery too with the name "cwm_recovery.img" (size: 5 MB)
[Requirement]
Rooted phone
Apps like: GScripts Lite or Any script manager or Terminal emulator
[How to restore]
Just run following commands using any script manager or save them in a ".sh" file and use
"sh script.sh" in terminal emulator.
Commands:
Code:
mkdir /sdcard/fih
mount -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /sdcard/fih/
cd /sdcard/fih/image/
mv ./stock_recovery.img ./recovery.img
cd /
umount /sdcard/fih
rm -r /sdcard/fih/
(You can use "cp" instead of "mv" if you are not going for warranty claiming and just wants to use stock recover.img. Replace "stock" with "cwm" if you want to use that)
Thats it!
Now restart your phone in recovery using any reboot apps with recovery reboot option or just type in terminal "reboot recovery". You will boot into your desired recovery.
[Note]
When you install any official "fb0" ROM your phone is no more rooted, so you will need to root your phone first before using these steps again.

put this phone in the download mode (power + volume up key)
connect to pc
open the drive as it will be shown as a usb storage
go to image folder..
copy your phone's stock version of recovery.img file paste to any drive of your pc .. woho backed up
now copy cwm recovery image

True...
That's the most generic way to that, but it requires those tedious button pressings.
And also it requites a PC!!
My method can be used if you are on the go and still wants to restore any recoveries.

Well, that's good news then..
But as far as I remember there is no fih folder in root of the system unless it is mounted by some init script.
Which is your current rom?

No problem dude!
Anyway I will be posting a completely new recovery soon. This will have both stock recovery and cwm recovery access simultaneously. (Hopefully )
So this How-To wont be required then...

[Q] Lost root

I am on Korean v30J rom. I don't know what I've done, but sudenly, when I want to backup my applications on titanium, I don´t get root permissions. I've tested it with several applications and it always shows a message of not allowed root permissions.
Any suggestion?

if you can go into recovery(by power menu or g-recovery), flash superuser.zip and you shall be fine

Use adb or terminal emulator.
Code:
reboot recovery
Some apps on market can reboot to recovery and for some unkown reason they wan't root. It's not needed so don't worry about it.

Thank you. Terminal emulator worked :good:
I was thinking about re-rooting my phone.

My device not getting into recovery.

My device not getting into recovery. Harwarically I can get into recovery, but I can not use adb reboot recovery or any rebooting app, it just normal reboots. Need urgent help. My buttons are almost finished cant stand more pressure.

stock rom. i can get into recovery using hardware buttons and pa rom's power button menu. but can not get into using other apps.

What other apps? Like some reboot app? Maybe they send the wrong argument to the bootloader. Might not be compatible with our device.
If you can get in using hardware buttons, then its mostly a problem with the other apps you are trying.

Download terminal emulator, run:
Code:
su
reboot recovery
and you're in recovery. If that doesn't work for some unknown reason, you need to switch roms.
EDIT: disregard this, per adams post below.

It doesn't work on stock rom unless you manually write recovery boot command to misc partition.

As Adam posted above, none of these apps/ commands will work if it isn't defined in the misc partition. I wasnt aware of this before Adam pointed it out, ill look into the easiest way for this to be done.

IIRC now that @GalaxyVolvoZ posted ROM Manager works, because it writes the needed command.
Otherwise this is the command needed in shell:
Code:
echo "boot-recovery" | /system/bin/dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 bs=1 count=13

Did you try to flash a recovery without unlocking bootloader?
Use LG mobile support tool.

Flashing SYSTEM.img failing Command not allowed, why?

I have bootloader unlocked
I am NOT Rooted
Flashing cust, boot and recovery work but system.img always fails as "remote: command not allowed"
I was told you dont have to be rooted to flash things with fastboot, Acassa's system was corrupted, and I downloaded the other one another person in the thread suggested that worked for others, but the same problem persists and I dont know what to do?
Your help would be much appreciated

Have you rooted your phone?If you have,you can download a "Thermanl Emulator" and try:
First,to get Root access, you should input"su" and then press Enter.Next,"cd /system" and then "chattr -R -i *".Finally,"rm set_immutable. list".
Enjoy.Hope things work out.

Oh,no.Before you "chattr",you should also "mount -o remount,rw /system".
You can use adb shell instead of "Thermal Emulator" as well.

Could you root your device?Since you unlocked your device, you can flash a third-party recovery and flash the SuperSU zip.

Then Copy the super su zip file into internal sdcard ...... internal storage ....... not external not sdcard !!!!
and dont extract the zip file
then type the following command
adb reboot recovery
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
when recovery it will ask about setting system as read only ..... on the bottom of screen there is a an option to swipe .... swipe it and dont check anything else ....
after that click on install and then a list will come of your internal storage ...... just swipe and go down there will be super su update package click on it and then swipe to flash ..... then reboot back to system and if it come to fix root then just swipe and your done ....... now im gonna go shower so ill be back after some time just try it and i hope it works for ya

Hi there.If you have root access and unlocked bootloader,you can install TWRP even without pc connection.
first you should download a terminal emulator app from google play.
then you should download the latest version of TWRP image file from here https://dl.twrp.me/yuga/.
Place it in the root of your /sdcard folder and rename it to twrp.img
Run the following commands in terminal app
Code:
su
and then we write recovery image file to FOTA with dd command.
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/FOTAKernel
and it's done.
press thanks if it was helpful.

i installed hk lollipop zip from my custom twrp recovery. and when rom istall has finished ; recovery gone.

Below are 2 solutions to get a properly working recovery
Preperation:
1. Download Dual recovery installer: XZ-lockeddualrecovery2.8.23-RELEASE.combined.zip
2. Install NDRUtils
Next up we will test if the TWRP you installed works or not
-open NDRUtils and choose to boot into TWRP recovery.
Now unhide the result that you got to continue with the installation:
OK: I am now in TWRP
flash XZ-lockeddualrecovery2.8.23-RELEASE.combined.zip and reboot.
Everything will work normally now.
Not OK: I am not in TWRP
Reboot the phone if you have to (hold power until you feel 3 vibrations and then turn the phone back on)
You need to download this: http://nut.xperia-files.com/path/XZDualRecovery/Kernel_Builder
To get the right file make sure to selec the xperia z c6603 and select the rom version you are using, you can view what you have in settings, about phone, build number.
it will be much easier for you if you install this: X-plore File Manager The reason i recommend this application is that it automatically makes sure the file rights are correct.
Go into the settings and enable superuser +mount root mode
Now you can browse to the folder where you downloaded the zip in the left pane.
go into the zip and and then into tmp
Select the boot.img
now move to the right pane and browse to the root of your SD card like the comment above
go back to the left pane and with boot.img still checked click copy.
Now follow the original instructions mrp1375 gave you, but notice the different filename
Open terminal
Type : su
Type: dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/FOTAKernel
Now you can reboot and if it worked the phone will vibrate twice and show a green led meaning you can press the down button to enter TWRP recovery.
Go into the recovery and now flash XZ-lockeddualrecovery2.8.23-RELEASE.combined.zip so you get a proper installation
Now remember this very important fact:
Whenever you flash or wipe anything you MUST reinstall recovery and root again.
This is a failsafe strategy you can NEVER ignore becaus of your usb issues.
Keep SuperSu installer and XZ-lockeddualrecovery installer on your device at all times!

thank you

Hey! I have the same problem as the OP here. I followed the instructions like 5 times and still couldnt get it to work. The terminal is saying that "No space left on device" when i type "dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/FOTAKernel"
any way to fix this? Thanks!

That doesnt look quite right it should look like this:
Code:
[email protected]:/ $
Then you type "su" (without the quotes) and press enter
The display then changes to:
Code:
[email protected]:/ #
Now you type "dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/FOTAKernel" (without the quotes) and press enter
And then it should work properly.
