Hey guys, I tried to google this, and search here, is there a way to make recovery Permanent? It seems like it changes with a rom flash, I believe that's because it uses the kernel as the recovery, if I recall? I was wondering if there was a way to make it permanent, as I much prefer PHILZ recoveries.
Thanks in advance.
Actually thats not passible i think

There is the FOTAKernel method.The recovery is written to the FOTAKernel partition and the kernel reads it from there(all/most custom kernels support this,like cm kernel).So you dont have to change the recovery with the rom!
Download XzKernel v25 and flash it, there is an option to install a PhilZ CWM recovery to the FOTAKernel in the aroma installer of the kernel.After that,you can flash any kernel you want and that kernel will read the recovery from the FOTAKernel parition.
or if you want to go the manual route, then go here: LINK and try that method.Though thats for TWRP.
This may help too

In our case, TWRP have support for internal and external SD. Touch support. I think it backed up faster, CWM around 10 min, TWRP 6-7.
Is the CWM permanent?

Both are. Just it comes embended in kernel. No other way to use permanent, because they are on the same partition (kernel and recovery) on our phone.
If i flash my original FW, will the CWM is missing?

Yes, you will have stock kernel then, and all stock in its partition includin recovery.
i dont know if twrp has the same possibilities to flash zip files. i personally prefer cwm, who cares about 3 min time to create a backup and about touch support, its a recovery and not a launcher

Yes TWRP can flash zip, even use internal(varun modifications) and external storage. Both arey quite good, but I like that touch control more

May be future Devs can make CWM with Touch support, Galaxy Mini have CWM touch recovery why not us.....
i prefer to use TWRP
since tz 4.1 support TWRP, i immediately download it
So let me get this straight! If you are on stock kernel, you cant have permanent recovery. U need to change kernal for getting permanent recovery enabled. Am I right ?

Yes.
On some phones there is possibility to install custom recovery separate from kernel, but on out phone recovery and kernel are on the same partition.
Hi !
Here's an application to install and uninstall TWRP 2.4.3.0 recovery on locked bootloaders Xperia Z. It's stable on my Xperia Z, but i highly suspect some partition (system) problems with Xperia ZL phones.
This application will install TWRP recovery ramdisk to system as "recovery.tar", but you can provide your own recovery (ramdisk) by placing it to "/sdcard/XZRecovery.tar". This way this application could be compatible with other recovery or devices.
TWRP recovery ported to Xperia Z by krabappel2548 !
If you don't know which file to use, download XZRecovery-1.0.apk, install it and run it.
The recovery will get lost each time you flash a rom or wipe system partition.
XZRecovery.apk
Install, uninstall and reboot to recovery from your Android device
twrp-2.4.3.0-xz-locked.zip
Install recovery from windows (ADB)
twrp-2.4.3.0-xz-locked-recovery.zip
Install recovery from recovery

Hi !
Here's twrp recovery for locked bootloaders. It's working in the same way as cwm for locked bootloaders if you tried it.

Hi,
i did update the first post with a recovery zip that can be installed from recovery. So you should be able to flash any (stock based) rom from recovery, including wiping system, then install this file to get recovery back (well before exiting recovery of course or you'll loose it).

I used stock doomlord recovery fs Edit: Hum i'm saying crap, it's for cwm, so yes it use your rootfs! By the way, did you compile it yourslef? if so i could directly add chargemon flashing in the recovery sources each time a wipe is done on system. Else i will not bother downloading sources and configuring all that
In fact, like i first thought, we should be able to use any initramfs.
So and for your phone, any news ?!
simply, working perfect... thanks, i prefer TWRP to CWM
Untill now, i havent find any king of problems
Thanks a lot

Hi guys! I'm a little confused about kernel and recovery on the z1.
On all my others phones, flash the recovery was a separate task.
Now I cant find the CWM for z1. All I read is that the DooM kernel comes with the recovery?
is this a difference on the z1 or just another method to do it?
I'm a little scared to flash a kernel that doent work and can goes to recovery either. I'm always sure that the recovery is there to help me for any bad flashing, but if now is on the kernel, if I flash a rom with a kernel without recovery.. ? what happen?
thanks again for the time guys!

Flashing DooMKerneL is another method, you can install it normally.
There is no exposed recovery on Xperia devices, so all recovery methods are some tricks that load a recovery instead of a normal ramdisk.
The fact that both the kernel and recovery are in the same image is the same on the Galaxy SII. Although stock kernel had a recovery there.

If you are on stock rom, flash philz kernel first and reboot to recovery , flash Raw kernel and reboot recovery and flash KK rom with gapps.

Yes permanent recovery.
Yes flash philz kernel in stock recovery. Do the factory reset and wipes in philz recovery. It will root your phone too but only till you flash another rom with or without root.
You can flash omnirom with gapps and don't flash superSU wouldn't have root.
Google for philz kernel n7000 and Raw kernel R4.

Why would you want to remove recovery? There is nothing you'll gain with that...
But you can flash a kernel that has no recovery added to your device. Make sure you use one of the 4.3 kernels. Not sure if there are any without recovery and with root though...

I don't know why you're trying to remove the recovery, it makes no difference at all. If you had searched first in the Philz Recovery thread, you would have run into this, which tells you how to remove it.
But then again, if you flashed stock FTF ROM, then you have stock kernel. Just uncheck all of the "wipe" check boxes, and exclude all except the "kernel", and you'll get the stock kernel. Or you can extract the kernel.sin itself with 7zip or probably WinRar from the FTF, and flash that in fastboot mode.
As a recommendation, flashing a ROM without wiping /data and/or /system is, IMO, a bad idea. You can always backup/restore your data with apps like Titanium Backup.
