[Q] Default stock recovery

I want to install my stock recovery to be able to download OTA updates using my stock themed firmware but I can't figure out how to install the recovery.img that i got from my official firmware. I already tried to flash it using odin & through twrp recovery but the file is not supported. Can anybody convert my recovery.img into a flashable file?

Hi,
Look HERE
Flashing the stock firmware for your phone will also flash stock recovery and stock kernel.

I am currently using stock firmware and stock kernel but my recovery is twrp. I want to restore my stock recovery without affecting my root and modified system files.

You will need to find a stock recovery only image that can be installed by ODIN.

I was able to extract my stock recovery.img from my stock firmware but it is formatted as Disc Image File. I am wondering if its possible to convert it to other format so that i can flash it via odin or recovery.

You can`t flash the extracted stock recovery with Odin but you can with Mobile Odin Pro from your phone. It also flashes .img files. Did it myself on the I9505.

Try with this fastboot command.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery /path/to/recovery

I tried to flash recovery.img that i extracted from my stock firmware via mobile odin pro but got some problems. After boot logo, it goes back to the setup wizard like when you open your phone for the first time. I can't also proceed with the wizard since i'm getting an error like secsettings stopped responded.

[Q] Stock recovery restore

Can someone upload a stock recovery restore for I337M because i want to revert TWRP to stock recovery. Preferably an Odin zip.
Also, I heard that TWRP gets deleted and replaced with stock recovery upon reboot, Is this true or not? Can somebody confirm

the first result will be an xda guide. it is intended for MDJ. you did not list what build you were on.

EDIT: Flashing Stock to Custom recovery and back to Stock doesn't need any wipe if u are on stock rom right?

you should be all set as long as you are flashing the identical build number. you will likely have to boot into recovery mode and wipe cache though.

Some Help!

I odined the eng boot.img without thinking about backing up first and now stuck on tmobile screen during boot up. Is it possible to flash a stock boot to get back in or reflash whole software without it wiping all of my data?

Try going into the stock recovery and wiping your data. It should boot but it will also wipe your phone. It sounds like you need to use Odin to flash the stock firmware. It will also wipe your data if you do that.

Ehhhh... you might be able to. What firmware were you using before?

Original software. APB6 I think its called. Also if I do end up having to wiping(which I hope I wont need to) should I update to latest firmware?

Download your original firmware from Sammobile.
Then you can try to extract the AP file. Then extract the boot.img file from that.
Then you can try this script to convert the boot.img to an md5 file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2446269
THEN try to flash it via odin.
Here's the boot.img from the PD8 file converted to a tar.md5 file. Might work. Guess you don't have anything to lose.
(Unzip it first obviously)

Expected as much. To to update your firmware. Seriously. Why not? PD8 is rootable and you won't be able to update after you root.

In the thread talking about the TOT, there is a link to the TOT and my TOT extractor. You can get recovery from there.

Hi, is it flashable yet ? I am trying to get stock recovery and lock the bootloader.

Need A little Help Please

ok so my kid was using my rooted (TWRP) TM350N and
had some problems playing a game. one of his friends
suggested a factory reset which he did and now all it
does it boot the the TWRP menu.
i downloaded and installed (using TWRP) the
JazzROM-SM-T350_7.1.1_v2.01.zip and it seemed
to install with no errors however it will still only
boot to the TWRP menu and i'm lost
any ideas ?

additionally holding down power-volume up-home or power-volume down-home
does nothing, it still boots to the TWRP menu every time.
hopefully it's not ruined

From the TWRP menu, can you choose reboot and then download to get to where you can use Odin to flash a stock ROM?

to Odin ?

edit: You might as well upgrade to nougat at the same time. Because your son reset the tablet, you are going to have to re-install everything anyway.

ok i downloaded the firmware from sammobile, but it is a zip file and from what i
remember Odin needs a .tar or .md5 to flash ?

With the latest Odin, you need to extract the files from the zip and flash each of them. I'd try first with just the AP and BL files.
