[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.

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?

Thats why I have created this thread to show the other possible way to access it when your phone is booted and running.

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...

[ROOT][CWM] Root Nexus 4 & Install Official ClockworkMod Recovery

I originally posted this method at AddictiveTips. The method I posted there is targeted at everyone including the absolute beginners and I have also included instructions there for setting up the required tools, and for reverting back to the original recovery and boot image in case anything goes wrong. All external credits should be given to that guide (it does link back to this thread). Here is the link: How To Root Nexus 4 and Install ClockworkMod Recovery on it.
To my knowledge, this is the first confirmed working rooting method for Nexus 4 posted here at XDA. Though my knowledge is limited, so please correct me if I am wrong.
UPDATE: There is an official ClockworkMod recovery for Nexus 4 now available directly by Koush, so this should all be easy as pie now and you can now safely install CWM too. I am updating the CWM method with the updated instructions.
This method requires an unlocked bootloader. You can find instructions for unlocking it at XDA, or at the AddictiveTips guide linked above (the link to the bootloader unlock guide is in the requirements section there).
UPDATE 2: If your device does NOT get wiped after unlocking the bootloader, fret not. While this isn't expected behavior, several users have experienced the same on the Nexus 4. This could be due to some error at Google's end, but unlocking still works perfectly fine.
That said, let's get on with rooting and flashing CWM.
ClockworkMod Recovery Method:
Download the latest official ClockworkMod recovery from CWM website and rename it to recovery.img
Enable Android Debugging from Settings > Developer Options. (If you can't find developer options, go to 'About' and tap 'Build number' seven times.)
Connect the device to your computer via USB, and install the required drivers.
Download the recovery flashable SuperSU package with Busybox and transfer it to your phone's internal SD card.
Reboot into fastboot/bootloader:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
You can also power off the phone and then use power + volume-down key combination to get into bootloader.
Unlock the bootloader if you haven't done so already. WARNING: This command will wipe all data on your device.
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
Enter this command in a command prompt to flash the ClockworkMod recovery (making sure you are in the directory where you downloaded the recovery file):
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
OR
If you simply want to root without flashing a custom recovery and want to stick to your stock recovery, simply boot this recovery once using this command:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
If you flashed the recovery in the previous step, you can now boot into recovery by pressing volume-up or volume-down twice to select the recovery option, and then the power button to enter it. If you simply booted into the recovery file without flashing it in the previous step, you should already be in recovery now.
Once in recovery, take a backup to be on the safe side.
Flash the downloaded SuperSU and busybox package zip file from recovery.
Clear cache and dalvik cache just in case (not required but won't hurt).
Reboot the device.
ADB and Insecure Boot Image Method:
Grab the insecure boot image from this thread.
Also download these root files. This package includes the latest SuperSU 0.98, latest su binary that comes with it, and working busybox (not sure if latest).
Extract the contents of the downloaded zip file to your computer.
Enable Android Debugging from Settings > Developer Options. (If you can't find developer options, go to 'About' and tap 'Build number' seven times.)
Connect the device to your computer via USB, and install the required drivers.
Reboot into fastboot/bootloader:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
You can also power off the phone and then use power + volume-down key combination to get into bootloader.
Unlock the bootloader if you haven't done so already. WARNING: This command will wipe all data on your device.
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
Get back into bootloader mode and boot into the downloaded insecure boot image:
Code:
fastboot boot boot.img
Don't worry, this will not replace your existing boot image and will only boot from the insecure one once.
If it does NOT work for you and you get stuck in a boot loop, simply reboot your phone into bootloader and use the above command again. Some users had issues with booting from it the first time, but a second attempt worked.
Once booted into Android successfully using the insecure boot image, simply enter these commands one by one in command prompt (making sure you are in the directory where you downloaded the files):
Code:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /system
adb push su /system/bin/
adb push Superuser.apk /system/app/
adb push busybox /system/xbin/
adb shell
chmod 06755 /system/bin/su
chmod 0644 /system/app/Superuser.apk
chmod 04755 /system/xbin/busybox
cd /system/xbin
busybox --install /system/xbin/
exit
exit
Reboot your device.
You will now have root access. Tested and confirmed working by Stryder5 and many others.
Credits:
Stryder5 for testing, confirming, tipping me about working CWM, providing the required drivers, and helping others on the thread. :highfive:
Harry GT-S5830 for the insecure boot image.
fkrone for his recovery revert disabler script and his unofficial working CWM before an official one became available.
Kstarz for posting this same recovery method with his own working CWM in this thread before an official one was out.
evaradar for informing about the release of official ClockworkMod recovery.
Koush for developing ClockworkMod recovery.
Chainfire for developing SuperSU.
Everyone else on this thread for testing, providing feedback and hitting the 'THANKS' button. =)
I have tried my best to give everyone the due credit but if I have missed out on anyone, please do remind me.

Yep, worked like a charm. Got Titanium running and restored all my apps
Btw, check your PM.

Checked...thanks. =) Added the links.

You need to boot the unsecure boot.img first.

BTW can you confirm me the insecure boot.img you used? I just provided the link to the thread by Harry GT-S5830 but there were multiple ones posted in that thread, so I'm thinking of adding the direct link to the one confirmed working.

Nope, it isn't. Try again...it's safe to try as many times as you want since we're not flashing the boot image; merely booting from it, which is temporary and doesn't last after reboot. Hope it works on the next try.

After step 8 we boot up the phone normally and then start running those adb commands? I'm assuming that's what you mean by "Once booted into Android successfully..." right? Sorry if it's an obvious question, just making sure!

quick question to ease my mind: if i needed to return this device for warranty purposes, how would i revert all of this back to stock? i know its something to do with the stock factory image, or am i wrong?

Step 8 itself will boot up the phone normally into Android, just using that insecure boot image instead of the stock one. And yes, you then just start entering those adb commands. =)

Best way would be to grab a stock factory image and flashing it. I recently wrote a post on the portal with the links: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/android-4-2-images-for-galaxy-nexus-nexus-7-4-and-10/
The method can be found at the factory images download page, and is as easy as extracting the image and running the included .bat file while your phone is connected to PC in fastboot mode.

you need to change the stock boot.img to a modded boot.img (should be on the first posts..i recommend the boot_hrt_emui3.0.img)(this is for the b609 firmware)..
after that root your device again..and do the steps as described in the thread i linked to..
there is a working recovery (twrp 2.8.6.0)..should be in developement section a thread for twrp..

I just found out i have an unlocked bootloader.
Is there no other way? Cant i just flash a recovery and then install a custom rom?
Sent from my GT-I9205 using XDA Free mobile app

So i fixed my problem a long time ago but forgot my thread... Oops
Anyway i found a way to bypass set_immutable.list.
When using kingoroot i tryd to use the Flashify app from google play...but it doesnt support kingo root so i didnt work but there are other flash apps for boot.img and recovery.img.
I flashed a recover.img and installed my rom for a temporarily solution for my problem, but i can just flash a modded boot.img and reflash the stock recovery with flashify(i now have the supported supersu with my rom) and then force upgrade my firmware again and from there i can easily remove set_immutable.list and then root again flash rom etc. This is without a pc.
Flashify may be less stable for this but i never had a problem with it.
Hope this can help other people who dont have a pc to use

1. Only flash TWRP 2.8.7.0 ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/asce...overy-t3160130 )
2. Install BusyBox ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/d....busybox&hl=sr )
3. flash SuperSu with TWRP ( https://download.chainfire.eu/696/Su...etrieve_file=1 )
4. install Terminal Emulator ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...roidterm&hl=sr)
5. Remove set_immutable.list using terminal emulator.
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
cd system
lsattr
chattr -R -i *
rm –f /system/set_immutable.list
lsattr
PM: (Enter after each line...it's LASTTR with an L not a capital i)
You are fully (100%) rooted.

set_immutable can be be deleted with a file explorer with root access easily as well.

That's right. I've wiped with X-plore app

To flash recovery you need the bootloader to be unlocked, don't you?
I tried several times on the huawei website to get an unlock code for the bootloader, but it keeps telling me "Sorry, you must use a phone account to submit this application."

Well, just tried it.. When i used the adb reboot bootloader command, the phone turned off and the screen where it says "Phone is locked" poped out. I freaked out, plugged the phone out, and restarted it . Is that supposed to happen?

Everything worked up until the step :
- Now you must delete the SetImmutable.list from System on P7!

I'm still not able to delete this file as it's protected. I would assume SU would ask me to confirm the rights to allow the filemanager to do it but it doesn't.
Any ideas?
Other than that, great instructions on installing the recovery and SU! :good:
EDIT:
Found the right post:
Here are instructions for installing VIPER4Android on P7
1) have your phone ROOTED
2) install BUSYBOX from PLAYSTORE
3) install terminal emulator from PLAYSTORE
4)open Terminal Emulator and type in the following commands exactly:
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
cd system
lsattr
chattr -R -i *
rm –f /system/set_immutable.list
lsattr
After this set_immutable.list should be removed and you should have full access. Now you can install VIPER4Android
Work on my P7-L10
