How can I flash the stock recovery back ? Without a PC - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Since the 4.2.2 update is coming out Im reverting back to stock without erasing my apps and settings , is it possible to get the stock recovery back without using a PC ? I have a Mac and I don't really wanna read new tutorials just to be able to flash the recovery , maybe its possible to flash the recovery from clockworkmod recovery ?

Interesting. You rooted your phone, which means you already have used fastboot to unlock the bootloader, yet you don't want to bother looking up the fastboot command you need to flash the stock recovery back?

Yes, you can. The command to flash recovery with a mac is:
Code:
./fastboot-mac flash recovery recovery.img

Try data/media/0/recovery.img
There's a way to flash recovery via terminal I did it on my old phone. You just copy the image to Dev/block/mmblk whatever recovery is. I'll look up the commands later.

REMINDER about /efs

Well gentle man. I failed to back up my /efs folder. I lost my imei and can only get an edge connection. This is just a friendly reminder to please back up your /efs folder. I did not know about doing this until it was too late. I'm my s3 was not salvageable. But still works with Wi-Fi.

Diviance said:
Provided you are rooted (which, if you aren't the folder isn't really in danger) you can use Root Explorer to copy it directly to the sdcard, or download dropbox and stick it in the dropbox folder and cloud back it up too.
Or Spideroak. Or Box.

Ah, seems my advice from above is not applicable to the S3 series. Samsung moved where the IMEI is actually located or something because, from what I have found, it is not located in /efs.
So uh, for the moment aside from literally backing up every single partition on your device I do not know of a working method of backing up your IMEI to prevent corruption.

We need to focus on finding what is causing this so it can be avoided. It seems to be related to flashing a recovery. Please post any details that we can use to find a pattern.

its a known issue with all of the lte sgs 3's. backing up /efs wont help as there is no nv_data.bin which contains the imei number.

I've flashed half a dozen CWM recovery versions so far and haven't "lost my imei" yet, and don't see why it would.
(FWIW, I'm currently using http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.7-d2att.img for ATT and simply dd'd it over partition 18 like all the rest. CWM-flashable versions shouldn't make any difference, though)

DD is much safer as you're just doing a block copy from one device to the other so it's a kernel level copy that is pretty safe as long as you're targeting the right partition. However flashing things could go wrong and it could overwrite a partition or unmount it or something that could lead to these issues

Okay so I have T-Mobile. I rooted using Odin. I installed cwm via Odin. On the 23rd of last month. What caused me to lose imei was that I flashed an updated cwm via Rom manager. The cwm I.flashed was the one that wouldn't let you restore any back ups from your back up restore file. But I flashed the aokp release 3 as well..I did a complete wipe. Then installed from as card. Then had no signal

Did you flash CWRT 5.8.4.7? I'm still on 5.8.4.5 and have flashed many things without losing my IMEI. Could the new CWR be the source of the problem?

I got the prompt too. After I agreed to it, phone rebooted into recovery and said failed to continue or something. Now when I check, there is no more update.

I assume you are running a "custom" recovery (clockwork)? This is why it failed. Only way to install will be to flash back to stock recovery as someone above mentioned. Probably not even worth the trouble.

Yep. I think I will restore the stock recovery since I won't be doing any kernel/rom flashing for a while. Stock rom is very stable.
I received this update on both of my N7's and I can't tell what it changed other than the about screen.

If you want to force the update you can go into settings apps all and force stop "Google Services Framework" then clear the data on it. Exit settings then go back in and system update and its there

How to use twrp to replace clockwork recovery -- uninstalling clockwork?

I want to uninstall clockwork completely, remove all instances of it and move to twrp. What is the best way I can do this? right now I see that cwr is using roughly 3gb of my storage (8gb) model, so I need to know the correct procedure to removing it. Thanks

download the twrp package and flash it with fastboot.
Alternatively: go to twrp thread, follow directions.

That's nandroid backups, those have nothing to do with CWM other than you made them with it, just delete the folder. CWM itself is exactly 6635520 bytes and isn't on a partition you can look at in a file explorer.
cool. I just installed twrp, deleted the clockwork folder and freed up a bunch of space. I have no idea why clockwork was taking up so much space. I had one backup. That's it. My twrp backup is 500megs.

No Idea, there have been some odd things reported with the new v6 versions of CWM, could be some sort of bug. It sounds almost like it backed everything up 2 or 3x in 1 backup based on my rough math.

Yes your backup should definitely be larger than that. I have several I will open them and see what size they are, I'm guessing 500 mb to 1 GB approximately. Will update soon with the total.

Your backup should be the total size of the stuff in your device - the compression, i'm not sure how heavy the compression CWM uses for Nandroids is, but 20mb is way too small to be the full thing.

ASUS TF300T JB root how to that works......

Can anyone show me the correct way of rooting my TF300T I just exchanged it so its new in the box. I did the CWM to the last one and it bricked it HARD. Im assuming it has the Jb update already on it. And in what order do I put the steps in to get ROOT, RECOVERY, SU. Just looking for a good way not to brick it again thanks in advance.:fingers-crossed:

1st off I doubt your new unit "has the Jb update already on it", as it's likely been wrapped in it's packaging longer than 4.1.1 has been available.

I used the cwm recovery so I can't speak for others, but mine opens in about 5 seconds after selecting the RCK selection. Remember you need to upgrade to jb before you try using the jb recovery or it will not work.

That is not something I've done myself but all my reading indicates yes you can. It will just overwrite it. Again, make sure you install the recovery version which matches your version of android.

Depending of the device. I'm working on an update to add security steps in order to check if the recovery has been correctly installed.
Non-official custom recovery (especially for Sony devices) are not reliable and the installation may fail even if there RecoverX says it's complete.
Moreover, depending of the device, you have to hold volume +, or to tap the screen on boot. Details in the first post.
Try to go in /system/bin and tell me if there is a file called "recovery.tar".
Ps : on my device, i'm perfectly able to download unofficial cwm
File is present in /system/bin. Already tried other button combinations. I always end in bootloop.
Will wait for the update. Thanks, dev!

Does it worked for anyone else guys ???
This is interesting. I reflashed stock rom again via pc comp then installed the recovery using this and was succesful. But i lost it after flashing mount fiz for tx and selected no on getting stock recovery before reboot. Same thing happened when i flash the original recovery installer before. It always happens after the mount fix.

Great ! The app works well. For the issue of mount fix, it's due to the unofficial custom recovery. Do you know a stable custom recovery for your device ?
Oh yes please, boss! I would appreciate it. Thank you!

Could you tell me when the download fail ? Is it when you click on the "Let's start" button on RecoverX startup or on the "Here we go" button ?
Thanks in advance,

RecoverX v1.0.1 beta has been published on Google Play. The "Download failed" bug should be solved so tell me what's going on
download worked after 3 attempts. must have been my connection. Will test update in a bit. Hit you up a report.
Download worked better. But still can't boot to recovery.

I was able to download the recovery. It also installed correctly on the right folders in /system. But i can't reboot to recovery. Always end up in bootloop and i tried various button combinations thougj i know that it should be multiple presses on vol -. Weird though is that it reads the busybox in xbin and not in bin folder. This is in chargemon file in cache.

Btw i just saw update 1.0.2 so i tried it. Still no luck. Maybe it's my busybox or the folder where it should be. Want me to post chargemon.log and chargemon.log.old, dev?
XT line users. Please refer to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317432 and this will fix it.
