[Tool] Flashable Zip Recoveries

This is for those times when you want to change your recovery but don't have access to a desktop. You need to already have a custom recovery installed otherwise you can't flash the zip (duh!).
Here are some common recoveries in flashable form:
Stock_Optimus_V_Recovery.zip
aospCWMod-VM670-20110531_Recovery.zip
CWM_3.0.2.4_Recovery.zip
Thunderc-v-1.2.0-GNM_Recovery.zip
Xionia_CWMA_12518.4_VM_Recovery.zip
Xionia_CWMA_12518.4_Recovery.zip (Optimus S)
Xionia_CWMA_12518.6_Recovery.zip (Optimus S)
You don't need to do anything special for these. Flash them and your recovery will be changed.
If you want to flash a recovery not listed above using your current recovery, use the following directions:
Make sure your recovery image is not corrupt before using this.
Rename your recovery of choice to vrecovery.img
Place vrecovery.img in the root of your micro SD card
Place Flash_vrecovery.zip anywhere on the micro SD card
Reboot into your custom recovery and flash the zip
Enjoy!

This is fantastic! Thank you.

Wicked Love it! Thanks Dude

is there a way to flash a custom recovery from the stock recovery, my brother flashed the wrong clockwork on his optimus v and now we can't install roms and it currently doesn't have a rom on it. I managed somehow to get the original recovery on the device and I can get adb to connect to it and windows to recognise the device. any ideas?

thanks xda thanks my optimos was brick n now its work is a life thanks ..im use this Stock_Optimus_V_Recovery.zip
aospCWMod-VM670-20110531_Recovery.zip grasias grasiasssssssssssssssss

Not sure if you're comfortable adding it to the list yet, but the latest recovery used with ROM Manager, ClockworkMod 3.2xx (not sure of the final digits), does work on the Optimus V now, thanks to koush.

Is there an easy was to download the img? Can you link me? It's really simple to add it, but isn't this counter to the whole idea of rom manager?

I believe (never installed the thing though) than newer editions of cwm use the camera button to select.
at least that's what I've read.

Omg I been having the same issue!!! I cannot make it select an option..any suggestions???

I use the AOSP ROM (dead rom). For some reason, all the IHO ROMS keep rebooting me after installing all my apps. I also use the Xionia recovery and the Xionia 010-anykernel kernel. With that kernel though, your home key and menu key will be switched, but well worth it.

I use the asopCWMod recovery v3.0.2.4 I have the same problem with all the IHO builds, but I found that if I wait till just when all the apps have loaded and all the app icons are visable, then hit a lock screen widget and turn the screen off(wait 5min). When I turn the screen on and unlock everything works great.
I have to do this with every reboot,but it works.

Anyone have this recovery?
Sorry to bring up an old thread, but all the links for the recoveries in the first post are dead.
Would anyone happen to have Xionia_CWMA_12518.4_VM_Recovery.zip?
I have the .img version of it, but I'm not familiar with adb.
If anyone could help, I'd greatly appreciate it.

that's a lot of formatting in your post ;p
on the quick side:
so, my kitkat rom thread and twrp (both in my signature) still have live links to Google drive.
but...
kitkat pretty much requires setting up a sacrificial sd card with that twrp, which you can't remove from the phone. higher speed is better for the card.
that twrp has a kernel which reverses system and userdata, so even if you put it in internal mode, you have to modify updater-scripts to swap all mentions of system and userdata for it to work. with anything I didn't build, like anything pre-kitkat.
I have harmonia (important to set up the phone for activation) but if it's like my Evo 3d, you'll have to manually set the date back to 2019 or whenever the security certificate expired to get the activation app too connect or it'll just error out.
I also have a zip of harmonia I "fixed" to work with that twrp.
somewhere I also have bobzhome GB. and I think a reversed zip of that too.
I might even have older custom recoveries.
if you search around Google you might find the bobzhome rom stashed away downloadable, I was still able to grab it within the last year.
after a while I'll dig and upload stuff to my gdrive.
it sucks that Android file host deleted all my OV files though. I had a lot there.

[RECOVERY] Nexus S 4G CDMA recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.2 [01-31-12]

Koushik Dutta's Clockwork Recovery:
Attention: Some people experience problems when flashing through Rom Manager. Flashing again usually fixes the issue. Use method below for best results. If on pure stock, your recovery will be overwritten unless you delete your /system/etc/install-recovery.sh file.
To flash recovery for Nexus S 4G, download recovery 5.0.2.0 or recovery touch 5.8.0.2 and place it into your sdk tools folder. Reboot into bootloader and execute:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-crespo4g.img
or if you prefer the touch version:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.2-crespo4g.img
If you'd like simpler and more organized menus see j_r0dd's mod.

I had some issues doing it through rom manager. It was a no go so I flashed through bootloader.
I haven't checked if old backups are compatible yet. Anyone care to try and post?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App

Every time I click on the update from inside ROM Manager, something terrible happens. I used think it was because I clicked on the link for the other Nexus S, but I was super duper careful this time.
If I try to reboot into recovery without being attached to my PC after flashing a new recovery in ROM Manager, I get stuck in fastboot. If I tell it to please boot me into recovery so can add a shiny new object to my Android, it tells me, "No ma'am." And, if im being honest, when I can't flash exciting new thingys on the go, existence begins to seem somewhat more futile. I'm sure you understand.
Might as well ask if there's a way I can fix it before I get home (in TEN HOURS) by fastbooting from a terminal or something. Okay, I'm begging.
p.s. I feel like I didn't get invited to most of Version 3 and all of Version 4.

I had the same issue after using rom manager to flash 5. I just rebooted and tried flashing again from rom manager and it worked the second time

I can confirm they do work.

Trying to upgrade from 4.0.0.2 to 5.0.0.0, I keep getting stuck on "Waiting for device"..

If on windows...your driver is bad.
Try flash_image gui by Joeykrim

Well here is the thing, I can push/pull things from the device, I can adb shell to the device.. Everytime I try flash the recovery, I get the waiting for device

Well if on Windows, fastboot driver needs to be there along with adb.driver. Two different things

Didnt work through rom manager, had to do it via fastboot. I dig the new color!

so rom manager updated my cwm to this one and when i go to reboot into recovery it goes into bootloader and which i chose recovery nothing happens .... first line says FASTBOOT - NO RECOVERY OR BOOT IMG

For anybody having flashing/ pushing/ just getting the new cwm recovery use the flash_image by GUI app located in the ns4g app section. I can't stress it enough, but it your trying to computer up to speed for Android development I understand.

I updated through ROM Manager and it worked just fine. I believe as long as you are running the latest version of ROM Manager you shouldn't have any issues.

[Solution] Install MIUI 3.2.1

I don't know if you have the trouble whe you trying to install the last version of MIUI, you just get a white screen with htc logo, so you should try:
(I made this on windows and for GSM)
1.Download the last version of MIUI (unofficial_miuiandroid_vivow_GSM_ics-3.2.1)
2.Download unofficial_miuiandroid_vivo_ics-2.12.29_GSM
3.Copy both files on SD card
4.Restar your phone on recovery mod (I have 4ext)
5.Make a backup
6.Format all except your sd card
7.Install from sd card MIUI 2.12.29 and reboot (This should boot)
8.Reboot into recovery mod
9.Install from sd card MIUI 3.2.1 top on the MIUI 2.12.29 (if you restar now, you are going to have the white screen)
10.Restar into bootloader
On pc:
1. open a "cmd" window
2.Go to folder who have the adb file ( I guess you have this if you root and s-off your phone)
you should have on the cmd window something like "c:\Android" where Android is the folder to contain the adb file
3.Open the unofficial_miuiandroid_vivo_ics-2.12.29_GSM.zip with WINZIP or another program
4.Extract the boot.img on the "c:\Android"
5. Conect the phone to pc
6.On cmd window write: fastboot devices (you should see your phone information, if you don't, so your phone are not on bootloader)
7.if you get the phoen info so you have write: fastboot flash boot boot.img (we are flashing the boot.img)
8.Write fastboot reboot
9.Enjoy you MIUI 3.2.1 on HTC Incredible 2

That's only to worry if your unlocked and I'm pretty sure people should know this if they are unlocked, but thanks for the look out in the community :thumbup:

I think you missed the point. The newest version of miui won't boot with the supplied boot image. He gave instructions on how to take the boot image out of the latest version that WILL boot and use it with the actual newest version of the Rom which will NOT boot. It's basically like flashing a Rom when HTC Dev unlocked, but in this case S-Off folks also need to do this. There's another method in the MIUI tHread in the Dev section but this one is easier.

hi guys was just messing around and made a sort of pre alpha clockworkmod recovery(touch).
here is the recovery.img
someone can make a flashable zip or install via dd
and for any one wishing to make a device tree this might be helpful delos3geur.zip
yup the device board is called delos3geur.
have fun and hope I helped.
EDIT : oh and this is completely untested and based on the previos posts recovery.img
it should work but might need some fine tuning from one who owns a device.
also touch recovery in future wont be possible without clockworkmod builder located here

now nothing I can do there just made a build using your recovery image.
say about the blank you got with yours did you try the default Samsung graphic frame buffer (graphics.c) or use the cm one cause cm one should with no editing give a broke. display(zigzag lines).

While trying dd I m getting black background. .nothing else..this just happened on your recovery.img .. and download mode came when using flashable zip..

[RECOVERY] TWRP 2.8.6.0 touch recovery

Team Win Recovery Project 2.6, or twrp2 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. We started from the ground up by taking AOSP recovery and loading it with the standard recovery options, then added a lot of our own features. It’s a fully touch driven user interface – no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.

Same here. Woohoo!

YEA BUDDY! Worked perfect..... FYI at HTCdev select "All Other Supported Models" when selecting device. Just throwing that out there before the question is asked.

I'm assuming Sprint and VZW recoveries are different, correct?

Ok, Correct me if i'm wrong..
First i need to d/l twrp recovery.
Then I need to head to htcdev's site and unlock the device..
After that, I enter Fastboot by holding "Volume down+Power key" correct?
The last few steps im confused, I'm assuming it has to do with plugging phone into pc and doing commands? If at all possible, Can we get step by step on this part? Thanks!

thanks for this, took a little time to get it to work but it was because the phone would not connect to the computer in fastboot when connected to a usb3 slot. If you are having issues try switching to a usb 2 port. took me about a half hour to figure out that this was the problem lol. I am using windows 8.

I was quite the fan of your toolkit when I used the at&t One. It's quite a time saver, and recommend it for everyone. I'm certainly not a noob. I've been doing this since the HTC Hero, and I consistently find myself pulling up your toolkit rather than running adb scripts myself.
Thanks again, and highly recommended.
