Hello,
I am trying to update the recovery on my wife's S4.
I'm following these instructions, but I can't seem to get it to work in either Terminal Emulator or ADB. Any instructions will be much appreciated.

So, bootable people with MF3 bootloader and broken recovery menus... do this:
http://d-h.st/AuY put this image file on your internal storage.
Run this command in ADB (type adb shell to get to shell) or go to terminal emulator and enter this:
su -c "dd if=/storage/sdcard0/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery"
You should have a fully working stock recovery menu now.

What boatloader/baseband are you on. Also what version of android. Depending on what you're on this may not apply to you.

When you say update, do you mean flash the stock recovery or a custom one? Because this method is only to restore the stock recovery. You can't get a custom one.

Stock recovery. I am trying to update without losing data. I was advised to unroot, then update OTA but update wasn't working, no response when checking for update.. Problem is at one point I tried to flash TWRP through Goo and I broke stock recovery, which I need now to update.

There's somewhere around here where someone posted just the recovery partition of the odin tar file. That can be flashed through odin and you'll regain your recovery. The reason ota doesn't work is because it needs recovery to install... Google search how to recover stock recovery for nb1 or whatever bootloader you're on and an XDA thread should come up

Thanks, I did do a search, and the original post of this thread had the instructions. The problem is, I'm not sure I'm using the proper syntax in either ADB or Terminal Emulator. Kind of needed a walk-through or a bit more details on the instructions.
What I've done:
1) Downloaded the file via above link.
2) Placed it into internal storage of my phone under "sdcard0"
3) Ran the following string in Terminal Emulator exactly as written:
su -c "dd if=/storage/sdcard0/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
At this point it says it cannot find the file. I am not certain that this is the problem, but the file is named "mf3-recovery.tar.md5", whereas, in the string above it's named "recovery.img". Am I supposed to extract it some way, or rename it?
When it comes to this stuff, due to my limited knowledge, I try not to improvise. If it is not in the guide, I don't do it.

Ok cool you found the tar file... This can be flashed through odin actually and it will restore your recovery without touching anything else or you can extract the tar file on your desk top, this will give you the img file then that can be placed into internal storage just like in the instructions. Before placing there though just rename the img file to recovery or just leave it as is and remember it. The string would be as follows
Su -c dd if=/storage/sdcard0/whatever you named the duke. of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
Give that a try again since its a tar file it can be flashed through odin

The .tar.md5 file looks like it's an Odin flashable file. To use the dd command you need the .img file. recovery.img I'd probably in the.tar.md5 file but I'm not familiar with it. Do you have a link to the mf3 tar file?

Seems like I need my hand held with every step of this process!
To extract the img from the tar, I did the following:
1) extracted with 7-zip
2) left me with a "recovery.bin"
3) dropped that file into sgs2oext4
4) in diskinternals linux reader, I select "mount image"
For step 4, I don't get a mount.
I think the problem is with step 3, the recovery.ext4.img file is 0KB, I've left it running on sgs20ext4 for at least 30 minutes and nothing changed.
How am I screwing up?

I read on another forum where the same tying happened to another guy and he flashed just the bootloader through odin and it did not touch any of the other partitions (data/settings) but since I have not done this myself I can not guarantee it.

I'm lost in dire need of help. All i was trying to do is take my 2.1 OS to 2.2 using this guide techlivez.com/2010/07/how-to-upgrade-galaxy-s-to-android-2-2-tutorial/ Now my phone will not completely turn on can anyone help i need my lifeline back
Did you flash for the samsung fascinate or the galaxy s.

Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
That guide was for the i9000, the international variant of the Galaxy S (it even says it's not for other variants at the end). Your best bet is probably to get it into download mode, and use Odin to flash the DI01 all-in-one file (using the PDA button!).
If you unbrick your phone, and STILL want 2.2, go into the Development section and find one of the posts about upgrading to EB01 rom... but still, be CAREFUL.

I've read over and can't confirm where your error occured. I'd try again. You did select pda correct?
yes i tried in PDA. My error was using the techlive article for the I9000 galaxy s and not the fascinate SCH-i500 I'm not sure what it is but something isnt letting me go back.
adrynalyne said:
I've saved a couple i9000 Odin flashed Fascinates with this method so it should work.
First, grab my DI01 All in One. You need an all inclusive package.
http://adrynalyne.us/files/kernels/DI01package3.tar.md5
You will need odin3 v 1.30. Google for it.
You also need Heimdall.
Heimdall – Glass Echidna There is a readme in the windows version zip if you get stuck. Drivers must be installed for it as well.
You also need a copy of the samsung galaxy s usb drivers, because Heimdall will remove them when you use it.
[Drivers] MS Windows x86 and x64 USB Drivers for Samsung Galaxy S - xda-developers
You will also need a PIT file from me:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2056318/atlas_v2.2.pit
Steps:
1. Install Heimdall and drivers.
2. Put phone in download mode and plug it in to usb cable.
3. Unzip the Odin file. 7zip can do this, but will give an EOF error. Ignore the error.
4. Choose each section in Heimdall and add the appropriate file, including PIT. Check repartition. Primary boot loader is boot.bin and secondary boot loader is sbl.bin.
5. Start. Boot once, check for problems. If problems persist, continue.
6. Reinstall Samsung USB drivers for Odin. This may require a PC reboot.
7. Put phone back in download Mode and start Odin, making sure its detected.
8. Load the entire Odin package, not extracted into the pda section of Odin. Include the PIT file. CHECK repartition.
9. Run the process.
If all goes well, you should be back to stock, crappy Eclair 2.1 without force close errors.

It seems that you don't have Samsung USB driver installed. Connect your tablet in the normal mode to ur pc ( not download mode) the drivers should be installed automatically.
If not, you can google it, and install them before going to download mode.
About coming from german Rom, I think it will be flashed successfully, without Data Wipe. I'M NOT SURE , AS I DIDN'T TRY IT. I tried PREVIOUSLY flashing N8013 LK8 Deodexed Rom over German N8010BLK9, Succeeded without data wipe. Then, before a while, I flashed this Wonderful 4.1.2 ROM.

Since you're not using any custom roms I'd flash this in Odin http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50912149. This will also update you to 4.4.2.
I'm guessing Odin failed before because you were using an older firmware version than your device is on.

You're not going to be able to flash twrp. You can only use safestrap as a custom recovery.

ok ill look into that
Ok here is the issue...
I updated my G900F to 5.0 G900FXXU1BNL7.
Then Dowgraded to stock G900FXXU1ANCE.
But now no custom recovery could be flashed neither by odin or apk kind method TWRP Manager. I was only able to root with towelroot to get these info on the photo attach and a backup of my EFS.
As you might see the bootloader was also downgraded so dont know why it fails always...
I have try already:
CF-Auto-Root-klte-kltexx-smg900f, openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-klte or philz_touch_6.57.8-klte with same results always Failing Odin at the end of process...soft bricking the phone and had to reflash G900FXXU1ANCE and re root etc...
Tested also to untick the auto reboot option on Odin same thing.
Here is the Odin log as it is always:

Any guide, tip, help or is something is apreciated or now it is locked the phone after the upgrade/downgrade?
Attach is a photo of detailed information of the phone status right now it is rooted thanks to towelroot but I cann't put custom recovery for a custom ROM I need to open LTE bands.
Please help.
You need to change the PIT file on your phone
Its on here somewhere ill have a look but you to incase i forget
EDIT
wait sorry i think i read wrong, its just recovery you can not do.
Could try this this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/help/recovery-mode-t2975918
yes it is just recovery, so neither rooting or custom rom.
Just tested again in G900FXXU1ANG7_G900FXEO1ANG2_alexndr.tar Stock ROM but same issue.
It fails and on the phone on dowload screen at the end of the text there is a yellow message that says
Set Warranty Bit : cache
Dont know if your solution of using another Pit could solve but that will not change the IMEI or something else too? Or will be safe to test...
EDIT:
Tested without the Auto Reboot, dd not work neither...
Testing in a few the other TWRP on the last post of page recommended.

Nope cant select it at all... the TWRP-KT.ALL-IN-1.zip downloaded.
Under CP only valid extension that could be selected are:
*.bin, *.tar, *.md5, *.smd, *.gz, *.tgz
Neither Under AP:
*.tar, *.md5, *.smd, *.gz, *.tgz
and if unzipped as told before there is no .tar or similar inside only recovery.img and a META-INF folder...
Take a screen shot mate when u going to select the file

No such option on Odin...

Download the correct twrp tar file from here (top right hand corner box gives you your choice of phones)
http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2
Install through odin(it is a tar file from the start)
Then after your rom is set up you can flash ktoonsez TWRP through recovery not odin.

Thanks for trying to help but as you can see on first post I try that already with actual version of TWRP for G900F but Odin Fails at the end of flashing and soft bricks the phone and any mod I try to make to the recovery soft bricks it....
Also tested without the auto reboot option checked.
See my photo it works on mine (the rar file)
try placing the rar file somewhere else and look for it,
I can not think what it could be i will keep thinking
EDIT -
here is my odin i use could try that mate
Sorry not trying to intrude, have you ever had a custom recovery installed, even before you downgraded.
Is there any chance you are not rooted, it's odd that chain fire isn't working either.

Believe that is another file a *.tar file you are selecting not the one on the link provided as it is named different and is *.zip
