[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.

Do you guys honestly think your posts have enough information to be able to help? We need more information, For example what guide was you following as there are multiple. What recoveries have you tried were they thought the right variant? etc. etc. etc.

I realize this now after i made my second post of bricking my phone,
I did get recovery to work. The 2.6.3.5 i was using isn't loki'd so i went to down to the 2.6.3.2

Make sure you grab the right twrp file for your device. make sure you have your loki file in the ADB tools folder.
Use this Guide and it should work like a charm
i recommend changing the name of your TWRP '.img' to 'recovery.img' so its easy to type in the command window

Is there ways to install recovery onto the G2 without the loki?

Stock recovery question/request

I was hoping someone could help me out. I searched the forums but couldn't find anything. Is there any way to extract the recovery image from the firmware zip? I tried to do so on my PC but I received an error saying the zip was invalid which I'm assuming is because it's signed by HTC. I'm trying to avoid flashing the firmware in RUU mode since I then lose root. My goal is to be on the stock recovery with root so I can receive OTA's when they are available. If not, does anyone happen to have a copy of the stock recovery for the 1.19.605.22 software . I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.

Stock Recovery - VZW - 1.19.605.22

Great thanks. Saw this tool on a couple of other sites but only for Linux. Didn't know there was a Windows version. It's pretty straight forward. Feeling kinda dumb for missing it.

Run the ruu I posted. Flash twrp and then supersu and you are done. Will not wipe nor change your s-off status.

Can I not just run the update ? Probably not since I'm running twrp right ?

I'd like to update with out wiping . Is this possible ?

Gotcha . I saw ruu and automatically thought it will wipe . Sorry . Thanks for your help

So the one Andy posted that you linked to above or the one in your " latest firmware post" . They may be the same I'm not sure

Either way will work. Andy's way is most likely is no wipe, no recovery so you'll still be on what ever rom your using now and twrp. Dottat ruu will give you the latest stock rom and stock recovery, it won't wipe but you'll have to reflash twrp, reroot, and if not staying on stock rom, you'll have to reflash your current Rom also.
I prefer the ruu and also keep the ruu as a emergency backup

The RUU that is posted won't wipe Internal memory.
It is certainly reccommended for a nice clean setup, but at the time same you could just flash the firmware (which is basically the firmware goods without the stock ROM) certainly wont, I thought you may be on a custom ROM so I suggested the firmware (I should have asked, my apologies), which you'd flash real quick and boot back to your ROM.
As for taking the actual OTA on your device, I'll have to look that up for step by step how to do that, I haven't done it yet so I'm not 100% sure the process. but we got some great guys in here for help, so we'll be good.

That link you posted firmware only, or does it have a system image too? On a custom ROM so I'd rather not flash over it, though updated firmware would be nice haha.

If you use Andy's link nothing will change, only firmware. It'll be like nothing happened after you boot back up but will be all updated
