is it possible to block adb access to phone while it is in recovery?
I mean, we've got PIN/password to protect phone, but if a hypothetical high-tech thief access recovery, he can have all files via adb, right?
Any way to block that while in a custom recovery?
Just encrypt your phone, use a different key for encryption and lockscreen and your data is safe

thanks, but is that the only way to be safe while under custom roms and recoveries?

No. Custom recovery have root access. Either flash stock or encrypt the phone

just bought Joeykrim's app and works great. Thanks for the hint.
Already keeping recovery.img and twrp.img in /sdcard so when needed I just flash twrp's.
I believe this is easier than having to encrypt all phone :good:

Hello,
Apologies if I didnt find it after searching but:
I was looking to get stock recovery back onto the S4. I know I can Odin back to stock but being that my phone is already set up it would be nice to just flash stock back and be happy
Thanks!

I'd you're wanting to remain rooted, then you will need a custom recovery.

It's possible to extract the stock recovery from the Odin image and flash it independently. Check it out in this post. Be warned that it's only for AT&T S4's and it's possible to brick your device pretty badly if you flash the recovery to the wrong place.

yes, you will have to use the odin, and then root again. unless you're running a custom rom, then you will have to full wipe your device.
Hello! I have TWRP installed on my device without root or custom rom/kernel. Is there a way I can just flash the stock recovery to get future OTA updates? I prefer using a method that doesnt require admin rights on my pc, because I am not using my own pc for the moment.
You can get the factory image, extract ALL the zips and when you find the recovery image do "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img".

That's the problem. Efrant says you have to use 7zip and not any other thing to extract the image, but I cant install it because I dont have admin rights on this pc.
You can use Flashify from Play Store to flash recovery images without PC.

Yeah, it totally worked. Also locked bootloader using BootUnlocker app.

I may easily restore my backed up custom recovery using flashify if I ever need to update ROM or whatever...

Thanks! It's the one for 4.3 right?
And if I want to install a custom rom, and make a twrp backup. Can I then go back to restore the backup and then just flash this recovery in fastboot to get the OTA?

Yes, yes and yes.
You can use Flashify to make a backup, restore and flash.
Remember you can only flash 3 times a day unless you pay for the full version.

No I mean making a backup in twrp, install a custom rom. New version of android comes out: (let's say 5.0 because updating CM for example from 4.3. to 4.3.1 isnt that hard I think), just restore the backup and flash this recovery in fastboot. (without flashify)
Then I will get the OTA?

I think I am going to stay with this TWRP for a while (actually I want CM official nightlies back) and will try this method when KLP comes out. I think I will have my pc back then and will be able to pull the recovery of the image then and I will post if it worked or not!

First after the update you need to install TWRP (with a pc) use the nexus toolkit and download SuperSU v1.51update to you phone and flash it with TWRP

Yeah you see when you update via OTA it will flash the newer version of the recovery.
You can unlock its screen via volume up and power.
As suggested try using a Toolkit to do it but if that fails then go to the bootloader and flash it manually.

I unlocked the phone using the Nexus root toolkit. I used the flash zip function in the toolkit to flash the zip file of Xposed (xposed-v79-sdk23-arm64.zip) into the phone, but now I got a message saying the unfortunately NFC service has stopped. This message keeps popping up no matter I choose Report or OK, so now I can't do anything with the phone. Anyone can help with this issue? Very much appreciated.

I didn't install twrp recovery. I just used the flashed zip function in the Nexus root toolkit, which I believe (I might be wrong) says it would use twrp temporarily to flash zip files. What I did is backup the apps before unlocking the phone. I unlocked the phone and flashed the zip file of xposed.
