[Q] Install Recovery Image

On my HTC Hero when I flashed it to a new ROM I used this guide which is all done on the device.
I'm about to upgrage a friend's GT540 for him and wondered if there was a similar way of doing it?
Can I install the recovery after rooting the device? Or is the only way to find a Windows PC and install fastboot?
Thanks.

Yep windows pc cus u need to use kdz

Thanks bs828.
Was hoping it was going to be as easy as the HTC

we all did
the flash_image command can only be used after we flash a custom rom. i tried on the stock v20e from lg does not work.....

It should work if you push the flash_image binary to your rooted device. Try with this:

still need kdz if you want fastboot

i dont think we needed it. we got fastboot only to flash a recovery but in the end we used both :/

kdz is just for the real men amongst us
I've used it more times than I can remember and I like the excitement! Sometimes my phone has looked seriously bricked but I always got it back.

i dont think im a man yet(male but not man)(14.... 15 in sep) LOL

Hope so for you, usualy not bro (custom status and flash counter raised), but maybe they won`t check and you`re lucky.

- Flash stock rom from sammobile via Odin
- Root using chainfires cf auto root
- Install and use triangle away
- Use permanent unroot option in SU app
- Do a factory reset
After that everything is back to stock.

Back up EFS before flashing 4.4.2 - it puts 2 files on the SD Card. Or use TWRP to back up EFS whilst on JB.

I don't want to Deodex and/or use Xposed for now, just root is good for me. Deleted the unwanted games that came in stock, disabled the SecurityLogAgent, Knox and ANT, installed DroidWall, thats it for me.

SM-A700F is not working unfortunately...........

Yeah, I've tried with FD variant as I writed in the Thread Title. On official site doesn't even have any of A Series models listed on suported devices, so it's a shot in the dark. :fingers-crossed:
I just got tired of those crap bloatware and games, and decided to give a try, and "voilà", I got lucky. :victory:

Say thanks to the chineses guys who created the KingRoot! I'm just spreading the happiness :highfive: but thank you btw :good:
After root you will keep getting a Notification saying "SE for Android has been disabled..." and asking for restart the device, to get rid of this message disable SecurityLogAgent (doesn't Uninstall, just Disable) GG
