If This has been posted already, I apologize...I Take No Credit For This.....This is the Recovery that was released with Toastcfl's Unlocking NAND. It's not much different from R.A-evo-v1.7.0.1 but I like it.
Assuming you have adb and fastboot access.....
TO INSTALL USING FASTBOOT:
1. Unzip NANDrecovery.zip and put attached file (NANDrecovery.img) in sdk/tools
2. Boot into Fastboot USB
3. Open command prompt and execute this command: fastboot flash recovery NANDrecovery.img
4. Reboot Recovery
ALTERNATE INSTALL:
1. Make sure the "flash_image" that Toastcfl provided during NAND unlock is in the /system/bin folder and also put NANDrecovery.img on root of sdcard(Unzip flash_image.zip)
2. Go into adb shell and execute command: mount /system ENTER execute command: mount /sdcard ENTER
3. Execute command: flash_image recovery /sdcard/NANDrecovery.img
4. Reboot Recovery
Can you post a couple images?

It's Toastcfh, fyi
if you wouldve posted this 2 days ago, i wouldve been estatic but after going through my files for 2 days i finally found the recovery image. the recovery image in the part2 thread doesn't work.
what is this, is it recovery 1.7.0 vs 1.7.0.1
This is the recovery you had to plug into usb and run the windows.bat file after flashing Toastcfl's PC36IMG...To temporarily see what it looks like and does: Boot into your recovery mode, open up the evo-recovery file from when you unlocked NAND, for windows; run recovery-windows as admin and the recovery will push to your phone temporarily; for linux do recovery-linux and for mac do recovery-mac ....These recovery files are in the "evo-recovery" folder
ahh i rememeber that recovery
The official CWM has problems in mounting SD-EXT, thus, Jaggyrom and other custom roms (except stock) won't work properly and your phone will reboot everytime you install apps. You'll also get a lot of app crashes because Dalvik cache can't move properly. Now here's how to flash back to Yannou90's recovery using only Android Terminal Emulator.
__________
THINGS YOU NEED:
1. Your HTC Explorer must be rooted
2. Flash_image and Recovery (You can download it here on this thread)
3. Root File Explorers (Like Root Explorer and ES File Manager, at play store)
STEPS:
1. Download the zip file, read the readme inside the zip, and extract flash_image and recovery.img to the root of your SD Card
2. Download Root Explorer from play store, you can use ES file explorer if you want a root file explorer for free
3. Using your root explorer, copy flash_image to /system/bin/ but before you do that, make sure you mount /system/bin/ as R/W.
4. After copying flash_image, set flash_image permissions to rwxrwxrwx
5.Download Android Terminal Emulator on Play store
6. Run Terminal Emulator and open up preferences.
7. at the initial command, put this:
export PATH=/system/bin:$path
7. Go back to Terminal and Type su
8. Superuser should prompt. Accept it.
9. If you saw # it means you are running it as root, which is that we really needed. If you saw $ , it's not running as root and do type su again.
10. now type this:
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
11. Wait for it and if it's done, boot your phone to recovery.
12. CONGRATULATIONS AND YOU ARE BACK TO YANNOU90's RECOVERY

Superuser worked fine on terminal. But also got permission denied on last command in terminal.. should I push it via ADB?
You can simply flash the recovery using fastboot. Download this ZIP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=913094&d=1329843100 (courtesy of jaggyjags), start your phone in fastboot mode (ROM Manager might be able to reboot your phone into this mode, otherwise just turn it off, pull out the battery and replace it, then turn on while holding volume down and choose "FASTBOOT" from the menu that appears), then run "recovery.bat" from inside the ZIP. It's simpler than having to mess with adding files to /system/bin.
FYI, you need to set permissions on flash_image to allow it to be executed. I think typing this in the terminal emulator should work:
Code:
chmod 777 /system/bin/flash_image
(otherwise use your file manager to change the permissions to give read, write and execute permissions to all users i.e. tick all the boxes). This is the missing step from your guide to make it work from terminal emulator.
Also, you don't need multiple apps, you can just use terminal emulator for it all by using the "cp" command e.g. if flash_image is on the root of your SD card, use the following commands:
Code:
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cp /sdcard/flash_image /system/bin/flash_image
then use the chmod command above and then the original command from the first post.
[BTW, if you're wondering, the first command identifies as root, the second remounts /system as RW, the last copies the file]
So the full process for terminal emulator ONLY, would be this:
Code:
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cp /sdcard/flash_image /system/bin/flash_image
chmod 777 /system/bin/flash_image
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
{rm /sdcard/flash_image
rm /sdcard/recovery.img}
The commands in the {} are optional and just delete the two files from your SD card. The 2nd and 3rd commands can be excluded if you copy flash_image with a root capable file manager, as can the 4th if you change permissions with the file manager.
(This post ended up being much longer than I originally intended. I was just going to post the first paragraph, but figured I may as well post how to make it work the way the OP described as well - or at least what I think should make it work, I haven't actually tested the full process [I have tested the exact same process with other binaries {viewmem, tcpdump} and it works perfectly. Provided the usage of flash_image as in the OP is correct and works, this method will work])
EDIT: You also shouldn't have to change the initial command, /system/bin is already specified in $PATH. If it wasn't, pretty much nothing on the phone will work.

Thank You. U completed this thread. Decided to use fastboot (faster) instead of terminal emulator way.

And...
I used Android SDK tool, and used the below command in command prompt and then I reboot the mobile, and I got back:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Thanks for this valuable thread
SU not found !
after changing the INITIAL COMMAND
i restarted d terminal and now the initial command just gets printed and after that i typed 'su'...d output was 'su not found'..
wats d problem ???
I even tried d fastboot method...dats epic, whenever i try to install any .zip from it dis is wat i see
"Installing update...
Installation aborted."
Plz suggest nythng else other than REFLASHING it...its just that sumthng is restricting it to install :laugh:
hi! I have a question regarding recoveries... i have a recovery by yannou90 installed on my htc explorer, will this recovery work for other roms such as CM9 and CM10?

My initial response to such a situation would be start the phone in fastboot mode and then flash the recovery from there. Download the ZIP here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=913094&d=1329843100, extract it and double click "recovery.bat" once the phone is in fastboot mode (start phone holding volume down, select fastboot from menu instead of recovery).
This assumes you're on Windows. If you're on Mac/Linux, find the fastboot binary for your platform and run the following command in a terminal:
Code:
./fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
where recovery.img is taken from the ZIP I linked above.
Alternatively, you could install a more up-to-date recovery such as TWRP or a newer build of CWM (not sure of links for the latest versions of either, but have a look around the forum and you should find them. Also some older builds of CWM had bugs [hence this thread exists], but I think the newer builds work fine on the Explorer; not 100% sure as I still use yannou90's build)
This will Wipe every thing on the internal storage SO BACKUP your stuff on the SD card and maybe the onto computer too
This is for the Google edition of the Galaxy S4
Go To setting / about phone /
Tap "Build Number" 7 times
Go back to Main Settings Menu and under now shown "Developer Options" enable "USB debugging"
Download this
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#download
extract to the C drive in the folder adb (you can move it anywhere just adjust the path)
run "SDK Manager.exe"
in the extras select "Google USB Drivers"
click "Install 1 package" and accept license / Install
now go into the device manager on you PC and change the "Samsung ADB driver" to the
"Android Composite ADB Interface" located in this folder
C:\adb\sdk\extras\google\usb_driver
you will have to force that driver to install by selecting it
let it finish installing the drivers
then
unplug and then plug in the USB on the phone
your phone will ask you about "Allow USB debugging?"
check the box "always allow from this computer"
click OK on your phone
If this doesn't work the some thing is wrong with the drivers and reinstall the drivers make sure you select "Android Composite ADB Interface" and not "Android ADB Interface"
Now open up a command prompt (I did this as "run as administrator")
type "cd C:\adb\sdk\platform-tools" (or what ever the directory you extract your files)
enter this command
adb reboot bootloader <enter>
Once in bootloader,
In the command prompt type:
fastboot oem unlock <enter>
It will ask you to unlock you phone and this may void you warranty
Use the volume buttons to change to yes and the power button as enter
At this point everything gets wiped on your phone
The phone rebooted back into bootloader and it now said "bootloader=unlocked" and the bottom left of the screen
Reboot the phone and the unlock icon will appear on the 1st Google screen.
the phone will boot into android like it was new
I have not done any ODIN on my phone so i don't know how this affect it
I am trying to avoid ODIN and get the phone rooted and have a custom recovery on it.
I just did this on my phone and typed this up i think everything is accurate let me know if i need to adjust anything.
fyi the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" don't work because the system is still secure boot enable.
Thanks and Questions
Thanks. Could you please tell where you found this info?
Also, I'm not that experienced and don't understand why this is necessary. Don't our GT-i9505G phones come with unlocked boot loader?

It still needs to perform fastboot oem unlock just like nexus device does
Sent using GT-i9505~
This is what i did on my galaxy nexus device (nexus 3) and my friend nexus one
I made this from my notes of the old devices
my experience is that i could mess up my phone and lock me out of it it, so i wanted to be sure i could fix it, that is why i did this
I did not try to use fastboot beforehand, so it could work.
but i have a feeling that the ODIN flash changed the bootloader (probably not)
but i have been screwed buy a odin flash messing with the bootloader on the vibrant( but for some reason there looked to be 3 bootloader on that device)
if some one want to try it
just put the ClockworkMod 6.0.3.3 recovery file the
C:\adb\sdk\platform-tools
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot recovery.img
this dose take 1 minute after the file is sent to reboot and load
I have tried TWRP but it don't load past the first screen.
This just boots into the file and doesn't change anything
access to the sd cards don't work
I am tempted to flash ClockworkMod but i would like to pull a copy of the recovery first.
BTW after paying $700 for a phone i want to be sure to be able to reinstall the OS, like on a PC.

Maybe you can do a full dump for the community.
before you install custom recovery, I'd like to ask if you could do complete system dump of your device, including stock recovery (recovery.img), stock bootloader (boot.img) and system.img . It would be a big help to the community. You can do it simple after rooting with for example Motochopper exploit (described here http://whatswithtech.com/how-to-root-samsung-galaxy-s4/ )
Then something like this:
Code:
for gaining root access type: su
then:
copy BOOT -> dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p20 of=/sdcard/boot.img bs=4096
copy HIDDEN -> dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p27 of=/sdcard/hidden.img bs=4096
copy PARAM -> dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p19 of=/sdcard/param.bin bs=4096
copy RECOVERY -> dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21 of=/sdcard/recovery.img bs=4096
copy SYSTEM -> dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p16 of=/sdcard/system.img bs=4096
Thanks a lot!
System Dump
Plus One on the system dump. There are a lot of knowledgeable people waiting to help as soon as they have this. I don't know enough to do it and did try CWM (which doesn't work, by the way.)
Hope you are able to help. Thanks

cool thank i was looking for that info
Just i couldn't get su to work in adb
I have been able to get Supersu (also tried superuser) on the phone but it complains about the su binaries (busybox in superuser) not being installed i have tried to install it using the market app (which said i am rooted) but i get no popup on the system.
i might try a wipe to see if that fixed it. (i did flash root to the system so it should still be there after a wipe)
first root, then system dump
unless someone knows how to do a system dump without root? or temp root solution.
I will look into the motochopper later today
you don't need "su" to work in adb shell, if you run "adb root" and "adb remount" with a modified adbd binary (inside CWM for example) you will have root access.
pls try out this root zip I just made, maybe it will work

I have root
Thanks broodplank1337
download the root that "broodplank1337" made
and put it in "C:\adb\sdk\platform-tools" (this is my adb.exe folder)
Download ClockworkMod 6.0.3.3 NORMAL from below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2359132&highlight=recovery
aka Miustone_CWM_flash-NORMAL.zip
extract the recovery.img to the folder "C:\adb\sdk\platform-tools"
Now open up a command prompt (I did this as "run as administrator")
type "cd C:\adb\sdk\platform-tools" (or what ever the directory you extract your files)
enter this command
adb reboot bootloader <enter>
Once in bootloader,
In the command prompt type:
fastboot boot recovery.img (this takes 1min to load after the file is sent)
This will boot into ClockworkMod
goto "install zip"
goto "install zip from sideload"
in the cmd type
adb sideload root.zip
This sends to the phone and write to the phones Rom.
Now reboot and we have root without ODIN on a I9505G
BTW my file was missing busybox in the xbin i was playing around with "CWM-SuperSU.zip" as a base
It is kind of late so i may have missed some things in this write up.
Now off to the system dump.
I will repost this later as a new post to keep this clean.
ok i had some issues with viewing the files on the phone
i moved them to the sdcard and then pulled them off the card on my pc using a "sd to usb"
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p20 of=/storage/extSdCard/dump/boot.img bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p27 of=/storage/extSdCard/dump/hidden.img bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p19 of=/storage/extSdCard/dump/param.bin bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21 of=/storage/extSdCard/dump/recovery.img bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p16 of=/storage/extSdCard/dump/system.img bs=4096
Is there any other mmcblk0p i should backup
and is there any issues with posting this info on this forum
so far this only has root
i did notice that clockworkmod did give me access to root but i couldn't find the sd card while fastbooting it.
I don't think that the whole bootloader is part of what i backup, I thought there was a sbl.bin that i need too.

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p27 of=/storage/extSdCard/dump/hidden.img bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p19 of=/storage/extSdCard/dump/param.bin bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21 of=/storage/extSdCard/dump/recovery.img bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p16 of=/storage/extSdCard/dump/system.img bs=4096
Is there any other mmcblk0p i should backup
and is there any issues with posting this info on this forum
so far this only has root
i did notice that clockworkmod did give me access to root but i couldn't find the sd card while fastbooting it.
I don't think that the whole bootloader is part of what i backup, I thought there was a sbl.bin that i need too.

Thanks broodplank1337
download the root that "broodplank1337" made
and put it in "C:\adb\sdk\platform-tools" (this is my adb.exe folder)
Download ClockworkMod 6.0.3.3 NORMAL from below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2359132&highlight=recovery
aka Miustone_CWM_flash-NORMAL.zip
extract the recovery.img to the folder "C:\adb\sdk\platform-tools"
Now open up a command prompt (I did this as "run as administrator")
type "cd C:\adb\sdk\platform-tools" (or what ever the directory you extract your files)
enter this command
adb reboot bootloader <enter>
Once in bootloader,
In the command prompt type:
fastboot boot recovery.img (this takes 1min to load after the file is sent)
This will boot into ClockworkMod
goto "install zip"
goto "install zip from sideload"
in the cmd type
adb sideload root.zip
This sends to the phone and write to the phones Rom.
Now reboot and we have root without ODIN on a I9505G
BTW my file was missing busybox in the xbin i was playing around with "CWM-SuperSU.zip" as a base
It is kind of late so i may have missed some things in this write up.
Now off to the system dump.
I will repost this later as a new post to keep this clean.

I maybe wrong in this, but I have played with fastboot on my ex HTC device. the proper command to flash recovery is
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
the proper command to flash kernel is
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
with
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
, the recovery isn't permanent. it will be only be there for the current session. after rebooting, the stock recovery will overwrite the custom recovery. the same goes to kernel.

NONE of this would pull anything of relation from the I9505G (except System - mmcblk0p16) as our partitions layout is completely different. And more so, it would softbrick your 9505 if you tried flashing.
Check out here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2360346 - for a system dump from the i9505G. It has SYSTEM/BOOT/RECOVERY. Param and Hidden are both empty on our phones. This has already been used a couple times to cook roms for other S4 devices.

Since my backup might mess people up i am not going to post it.
but as a backup i will make a full backup of all the mmcblk0pxx file
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0pxx of=/storage/extSdCard/dump/mmcblk0pxx.img bs=4096
i think there is like 20 files
Those with a real I9505G google edition samsung, do u have an option in settings to always have the lightkeys light up when screen is on? The menu and the back key, that light up.
hmmm followed step bye step but phones boot loader is still locked
i do have Super User access tho
edit: fail on my part. everything worked smoothly! thanks man!
