Is it possible to use terminal command "dd" to install cw recovery touch to GT-I9505 like twrp does ?
"dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21"

If that works for twrp it should work for cwm. (Though its your phone. If this breaks it its not my fault)
But why? ROM manager will install cwm for you painlessly. There are also apps like Flashisfy that will let you change and back up recoveries easily.
Sent from your phone. You should be careful where you leave that thing.

How do you Flash this because I was thinking of flashing Royalginger
Flash it the way you flash any recovery, via fastboot or in the terminal emulator.

Store just the .img on your SDcard, then from ADB commands.
Code:
adb shell
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

And if that doesn't work (it didn't for me...I got a flash_image error possibly because my ROM doesn't contain the proper binary), the fastboot command is
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Its not going through when i type the commands
What error are you getting?

You have to setup ADB up first! See this thread for instructions on how to do that.
no but i will now
why dont flash from recovery? easier i guess. just boot to recovery then flash zip from sd card and follow the instruction.
weird is that afterward in the rom manager my cwm version is still 3.0.0.5

According to option94 who made version 3.0.0.6, he says here that that is normal. What's really weird is that ROM Manager still says I have 2.5.1.2 installed!

from within the Clockwork ROM manager it will only pick up officially supported recoveries. You must boot into recovery to see what version [actual] it is .

Because it is more "fool proof" to flash it manually. The flashing method do work but flashing manually is always recommended.

I know that, but I thought it would show the latest official version, which is 3.0.0.5. I'm not sure why it thinks I still have 2.5.1.2.

maybe that was the last official one you flashed.... i really don't know
My phone was going through bootloops and I went to recovery and clockwork definitely WASN'T there. So I improvised and used the 1 click stock method to restore my phone. Any idea why clockwork wasn't there and how to change it to where it is in case it happens again?

Did you flash it yet???
I recently answered a question similar to this, so see if it works:
1. Reboot into your bootloader
2. Download a clockwork img and save it to a directory on ur computer
3. CD into that directory on the terminal and do the following command:
fastboot flash recovery _____.img
(Blank line is name of img)
And reboot into recovery from bootloader
See if that works

You flashed recovery, then installed su. You needed to rename install-recovery.sh to install-recovery.bak in /system/etc/

no fastboot -> no recovery -> no backup
but you can try this:
1. root your 2.1 with Z4Root;
2. install busybox and terminal emulator
3. type this in terminal:
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
recovery.img at the root of SD card
then try to boot in recovery

I'm currently running a custom G Pro ported KitKat ROM and TWRP. I'd like to try a different ported ROM, but I have Loki issues and Philz should get me around that. However, I can't get philz to flash over TWRP - I keep getting errors after flashing the recovery zips and end up going back into the ROM and using AutoRec to reinstall TWRP.
Any tried and true methods someone can recommend to install philz over TWRP with KitKat?
I'm not opposed to using ADB and pushing files over if that's what it takes.
Thanks

Have you tried the app flashify from the playstore. It will actually download any recovery you want and then flash it for you among other very nice features. Try that if you haven't yet and if that doesn't work use terminal emulator to dd the image. Just extract the .img from the recovery and put it on your sdcard and rename the extracted image to recovery.img and in terminal emulator type su > enter, then type dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery and hit enter. You should see some numbers saying records processed in + out and it will show a certain amount of time. Then that means you typed everything correctly and type reboot recovery and you should be in your recovery of choice. Hope that helped

Just wondering what recovery is best for our Note 3. I just rooted and installed TWRP but I cannot adb sideload for some reason. Are most people using TWRP or CWM?
If you are using CWM, how did you go about flashing it?
Thanks in advance.
