[Guide] Manually flash a Recovery.img file in terminal. - Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G

Ok so first off I wanna say that this is extremely easy but it seems that alot of end users on the Blaze forums seem to want everything handed, if not spoon fed to them. That's just not me I always Google first and try and try again until I succeed.
I've found that better and easier than asking a Dev to stop developing whatever they're doing and help me.
I've also found that downloading recoveries they are always in .img format.
So with that I give you a quick method to putting a new recovery on your Blaze 4G.
Disclaimer: I or XDA are not responsible for anything that goes wrong in this process.
Prerequisites to accomplish this task
1. Already need to be properly rooted with superuser rights and a custom recovery properly installed.
2. Terminal Emulator.
3. Any File Explorer.
4. Download a custom recovery for the Blaze 4G in .img format. (See Step 1 for download links.)
5. VERY IMPORTANT YOU MUST HAVE !!COMMON SENSE!!
STEPS:
1. Download your recovery of choice such as CWM 6.0.1.4. Touch or TWRP for the Blaze 4g... Etc.
Links:
CWM 6.0.1.4. Touch: http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.1.4-t769.img
CWM 6.0.1.4. Standard: http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.4-t769.img
2. Open your file explorer of choice and Rename it to something short that you can remember easily ie... a.img as used by me in this guide.
3. Move it to /sdcard which is your internal sd. Note: DO NOT put it in a folder!
4. Open terminal emulator and touch the screen that should get the soft keyboard to pop up if it doesnt automatically. Then type "su" no quotes or spaces before or after and click accept/ok to give it Superuser rights. The $ symbol should change to # symbol on the code line to indicate that you now have superuser rights.
5. Type or copy the following code:
"dd if=/sdcard/a.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22"
with no quotes or spaces before or after.
Where a.img= the name you gave your recovery file.
And /sdcard/= the file directory where your recovery file is located.
6. Click return/enter on your soft keyboard. Now you should see it flash the recovery you commanded it to. It will say the byte count of the file and how long it took to flash.
7. Now if all goes as stated you can type: "reboot recovery" no quotes or spaces before or after and this will reboot your phone into your new custom recovery.
NOTICE:
If it takes longer than 1 or 2 mins or you get an error you may need to check your steps or re-download the recovery.img because you may have a bad download.
WELL I think that should about cover it if anyone needs helps READ the OP again and THEN ask.
If you find this helpful please don't hesitate to hit the THANKS BUTTON.
Thank you:

No I'm sorry no video but u won't mess ur phone up the worst thing ull do is not flash the new recovery and if that happens just try again this will only alter your recovery if u type it correctly if u type it wrong it won't do anything...
But just follow the directions its very simple try it and let me know
What I would do is open the thread in ur browser and follow the steps then copy the code then open terminal type su make sure u accept root privileges and then paste the code in and press enter then it will flash and then type reboot recovery and it will take u to ur new recovery

A quick question, not exactly related to recovery, but related to partitions and flashing.
How to find out which files in /dev/block correspond to which partitions? (e.g., mmcblk0p13, etc). You mentioned that mmcblck0p22 points to the recovery partition. Where would I find this information?
Thank you in advance, and apologies if I hijack your thread.

Thanks!

Ask one our many devs maybe dwitherell... U will need to do a sysdump and get the partition info table if u search Google you will find it for other phones and if u have a PC to do it on there's a way to do it thru ADB command but you'll have to search for it I personally don't have a PC all the time. So I can't do it just search around tho I don't think its to hard to find or do.
And I'm pretty sure the table is located in mmcblk0p1 on every phone that tells u what all the blks are

And here I was ready to do it through Odin. You just saved me a large headache, thanks!
For those of you missing out, CWM Touch feels so right on this phone. If you rarely use it, it's not worth it. But if you're flashing every few days or even every few weeks, the upgrade is worth it.

Question, I updated my recovery via ROM Manager, is there a difference using this method rather than the app? Is one better than the other? Or is this for straight downloading a recovery and not for updating?

They both do the same thing, write a recovery the recovery partition. The terminal method can be used to flash any recovery, so only use ones specifically for the Blaze.

No CWM recovery..

[FIX] [kernel-cm7-miui-stock] Battery Drain

This script can be run on:
2.2.X, 2.3.x, 4.0.x
This script was tested on Froyo [CROM] and Gingerbread [Stock, MIUI, CM7]
Prerequisites:
- I9003 xD
- Busybox
- Root
- CMW or equivalent
- Terminal or ADB
How to use:
- Unzip the zip
- Copy the file [.sh] into the phone
- Open the terminal
- Login as root
- Give execute permissions to the script
- Launch the script as "sh fix_battery.sh"
- Reboot in recovery
- Wipe battery stats
- Reboot and wait 5 minutes before using
F.A.Q
- Recommend making a backup of data to avoid losing files
- I disclaim all liability for damages or problems caused from the use of my script
- This software is licensed under: GNU GPLv3
- If you have problems with the path you can edit my script and replace the present one with your correct.
- In some cases it is better first format the sd card, copy the old file and then run the script
- This script can also improve a few hours the battery life, but does not solve bugs related to the kernel
- For best results take at least 2 cycles of charging
- If you have problems with the part relating to the control of the root user, remove it
I hope that my work is useful
Special thanks to:

No offense, but the only thing it does is deleting thumbnail and temp files, i doubt it fixes battery drain

Yes, that is true!
but in my case i have around 2 hours of battery in plus...
But i have written in the faq:
"- This script can also improve a few hours the battery life, but does not solve bugs related to the kernel "
lol, we'll see if this fixes anything...
i am sorry, i am not understand this steps,
-Give execute permissions to the script
- Launch the script as "sh fix_battery.sh"
can u tell me more details?what the code need to type?

Yes of course
if you download (e.g. in /download)
unzip the zip that you have downloaded
open terminal emulator (if you don't have download from market)
write this commands:
- cd download (this is an example)
- su
- chmod +x fix_battery.sh
- sh fix_battery.sh
- at the end go to recovery, delete battery status and reboot in normal mode
dont know how to apply it

How can we apply this???
Please include the commands for applying this .. I know I'm still a noob here..
EDIT: OK I knew it.. it just deletes the following:
- /sdcard/android/data/com.android.providers.media
- /sdcard/android/data/com.cooliris.media
- /sdcard/android/data/com.google.android.gallery3d
- /sdcard/android/data/com.android.providers.media
- /sdcard/androidthemes (its only a backup, not required if your rom is fine)

If I delete this file manualy, it's work ?
Because I don't understand how execute the script, even with this :
- cd download (this is an example)
- su
- chmod +x fix_battery.sh
- sh fix_battery.sh
- at the end go to recovery, delete battery status and reboot in normal mode

Yes, of course!
I create the script only to speed up the process and make it free from possible errors
sorry for my phrases,
but it's simply stupid and not sense, cm7 battery drain is caused by RIL and its lib, not from gallery thumbs
anyway its not fix and doesn't work,
battery is consequence by governor, voltage, and cpu usage, delete cache of gallery will only drain battery for re build, two hours plus in your cases doesn't depend from this but, maybe from coherence in your use

[RECOVERY][CWM] ClockworkMod v6.0.2.7 Touch v14.4.6 | exFAT support (01/11/13)

IRC on freenode: #sk8erwitskil
NEW: I have created a script to easily update to the latest version of my recovery.
- Download this file ----> updater.sh (updated to fix typo)
- Put it on your sdcard
- open adb and type:
Code:
su
sh /mnt/sdcard/updater.sh skyrocket
- it will reboot you into recovery
- starting in v14.2.1 it will automatically start installing and reboot when its done
Note: If your sdcard is not mounted on /mnt/sdcard then open the script and change the line that says path=/mnt/sdcard/sk8sUpdater to match your mount point. i.e. ICS users may have to change it to say path=/mnt/emmc/sk8sUpdater

I have ported touch recovery to Clockworkmod 6. I will be making updates to this just like my other touch recovery. I have added a few menu items and tweaks to make it like my CWM5 recovery.
Looking through the cwm code more in depth i have noticed MANY flaws with the code for new(er) phones that use /emmc instead of /sdcard as the main storage. i have now fixed those flaws in v9+.
Here is a video of how it works: --------> YOUTUBE LINK

This is what the new dedupe format does. This is a direct quote from the original creator of clockworkmod:
Code:
ClockworkMod Recovery now deduplicates files between builds. This results in way smaller backups.
Don't delete /sdcard(or emmc)/clockworkmod/blobs
Overview
I've gotten a few questions about how this works, so I figured I'd make a post on it.
Basically, here's what happens:
The files being backed up are hashed (sha256, not that it matters). Then it checks for a file with the name of the hash in
/sdcard/clockworkmod/blobs
So, if the hash of the file was c5273884b90d490134e7737b29a65405cea0f7bb786ca82c6337ceb24de6f5ed, it looks for /sdcard/clockworkmod/blobs/c5273884b90d490134e7737b29a65405cea0f7bb786ca82c6337ceb24de6f5ed
If the hash file is found, it continues on to the next file. Otherwise, it copies the file to the blobs directory with the file name being the hash.
ROMs and user data, for the most part, do not change too much between builds and backups. So, your APKs, system files, etc, are generally only stored once. This saves a ton of space. Especially between incremental backups.
Some of you may be thinking "well, how do I delete a backup?".
First, never delete the blobs directory. This would actually delete all your backups by rendering them unusable.
Simply delete the usual backup directory, and the next time you run a backup, all the unused hash files will be automatically delete (a process known as garbage collection). The recovery will show "Freeing space..." while this is happening.
Whats in the extras menu?
- change bootanimation (this lets you select a bootanimation form your internal sdcard. it backs up your current bootanimation to /{internal sdcard}/clockworkmod/ba_backup/. it only backs up the original bootanimation so if you keep changing your bootanimation you will still only have your original one in ba_backup.)
- enable/disable one confirm (this makes it so you only have to scroll through one confirm selection when installing something instead of having to go through 10 of them to click yes)
- hide/show backup & restore progress (this makes it so the progress bar when you backup/restore doesnt show up and makes backups/restores a bit faster since it doesnt have to show you the progress and files its backing up)
- select android_secure on internal/external (use this to select where you have .android_secure. default is internal, so if you have it on external make sure to choose this once to set it up)
- aroma file manager (file explorer)
- create custom zip (this will create a custom rom from the currently installed files you have on your phone. it takes your /system partition and /boot partition and makes them into a zip file ready to be flashed. the end product will be in clockworkmod/custom_rom/. this has recently been fixed to work on all phones/roms
- choose custom openrecoveryscript (read THIS)
- recovery info (shows the version of recovery and the build date)
- Special Backup & Restore (backup and restore your kernel/boot and /misc partitions)
- Misc Nandroid Settings (change time zone, turn preload support on/off (default is off), enable md5 checking)
I used the odin install and now I cant boot into recovery at all. just goes to a black screen.
its fixed now

Slightly off topic but what are the benefits in upgrading CWM? I'm on 5.5.0.4 touch and have always disregarded upgrading with each phone I root as they all seem to function the same.

yes thats expected. i dont know how many times this has been talked about. /sd-ext is a legacy option in cwm that was used for apps2sd. if you can find a cwm that doesnt show that error i would be shocked. the only reason it doesnt do it on my 5.5.0.4 touch recovery is because i took out the part where it prints it to the screen so people would stop asking about it. lol.

[RECOVERY] Custom Recoveries for Galaxy R

Hello everybody!
Yesterday, I collected my previous recoveries, updated them and built a new one (TWRP) too. I made CWM-flashable and Odin-flashable packages too.
CWM v4.0.0.2: (Thanks to The-Droidster for the recovery! )
- This is the first ever custom recovery for the Galaxy R.
- It has all the nice CWM features.
- You can restore ICS with this.
- It has no known bugs. Everybody used it as a starting point.
- What I changed:
- Removed the /lib/modules directory. --> 0,1MB size decrease.
- Enabled button backlight.
- Key layout: Scrolling: Volume up+down, Selecting: Home key, Going Back: Power+Back button. (Menu key doesn't do anything.)
CWM: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?71ynk9btw7euocr
ODIN: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?iczq8xed26ohakw
CWM v5.5.0.4:
- Built from the latest CM9 sources.
- It has all the nice CWM features.
- It can restore v4 backups (you can restore ICS with this too).
- Very stable!
- It has no known bugs yet (Lot of users have been using it and no bugs have been reported).
- Toggle feature is disabled! (I find it really annoying and it doesn't make real sense for a recovery to lock the screen.)
- Key layout: Scrolling: Volume up+down, Selecting: Home key, Going Back: Power+Back button. (Menu key doesn't do anything.)
CWM: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?98c1smq7nk4485d
ODIN: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?c7qbjaqwgpnbr9w
CWM v6.0.3.2:
- Built from the latest CM10.1 sources.
- It has all the nice CWM features.
- It can restore v4 backups (you can restore ICS with this too).
- Key layout: Scrolling: Volume up+down, Selecting: Home key, Going Back: Power+Back button. (Menu key doesn't do anything.)
- Known issues: ADB Sideload
CWM: http://www.mediafire.com/download/7xyevjf32fixf3a/CWMv6.0.3.2_CWM.zip
ODIN: http://www.mediafire.com/download/oksv1o2hu63gohi/CWMv6.0.3.2_ODIN.tar
CWM v6.0.1.5 Touch:
- Built using the online builder at http://builder.clockworkmod.com
- It has all the nice CWM features.
- It can restore v4 backups (you can restore ICS with this too).
- Key layout: Scrolling up: Volume up or home button, Scrolling down: Volume down or menu button, Selecting: Power button, Going back: Back button. (This is the default layout and cannot be changed.)
- The touch responsiveness is a little lazy. You have to wait some seconds before it starts working. (The online builder says it needs an ICS kernel for the touch version. We use the CM10 kernel (based on stock ICS one), but it's still lazy.)
CWM: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?jz24eugrrr988f2
ODIN: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?6vju9tlf9byeufe
TWRP v2.5.0.0: (Thanks to 'cooleagle' for the tip! )
- Built from the latest TWRP and CM10.1 sources.
- It has a lot of nice features, more than CWM does.
(For example:
- on-screen keyboard -> custom backup names
- built-in file manager
- built-in terminal)
- It has a fully touch-driven and very intuitive interface.
- The touch responsiveness is a little lazy. You have to wait some seconds before it starts working. (The online builder says it needs an ICS kernel for the touch version. We use the CM10.1 kernel (based on stock ICS one), but it's still lazy.)
Note: Backups of TWRP are said not to be compatible with those of CWM. For everything to work well, I recommend that you create a TWRP backup too before modding.

PhilZ v5.06.6: (Thanks to Tha TechnoCrat for the tip! )
- Built from the latest PhilZ and CM10.1 sources.
- It has a lot of nice features, more than CWM does. Check here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2201860
- Based on CWMv6.0.3.2
- Known issues: ADB Sideload

If you want to install a custom recovery for the first time, you always have to start with an Odin-flashable package first. Flashing a recovery with Odin doesn't increase the download counter!
Tutorial (Flashing with Odin):
Please refer to the following thread (This is very detailed and good in my opinion): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406664
Choose a downloaded TAR file (ODIN-flashable) for PDA option.
Tutorial (Flashing with CWM):
Note: This only works if you have already flashed CWM with Odin.
1: Reboot into recovery mode. Do this with a custom rom or by powering on your phone and pushing Volume UP+Home button simultaneously while the Samsung boot logo appears (you have to be fast).
2: Select 'Install zip from sdcard' menu.
3: Select 'Choose zip from sdcard' menu (or if you want to flash something from your internal sdcard, select 'Choose zip from internal sdcard' menu.) Note: On CWM v4.0.0.2, there isn't any separate menu for internal sdcard. It shows internal sdcard by default. External sdcard is mounted under the external_sd folder on the internal sdcard.
4: Navigate to the file you want and choose it.
5: Choose 'yes'.
6: Wait for it to finish and you're done.

Update the OP!
@Adam...Now that this thread has been stickied it is best that you also add the attached CWM recovery v4.0.0.2 to the OP. This will make it a one stop thread for all recoveries for Galaxy R. Also please include a short tut about flashing these recoveries through recovery and ODIN separately!(With screenies if possible!)
One more thing, the attached v4 CWM recovery is ODIN flashable. See if u can make a CWM flashable version out of it as you did for other recoveries!
Thnx:good:

Thanks for the idea! I'll do it on tuesday (I'll arrive home then.) as well as I'll reupload everything to somewhere else as Dropbox has limits with file downloads. I may also add a flashable stock recovery if somebody wants to revert only the recovery.

Along with the stock recoveries of ICS & GB CWM flashable zips kindly try to add a Unroot CWM zip (ICS / GB separate if needed) so that everyone can just flash that zip & get unrooted if in any circumstances they can't flash the stock ROM via a USB if the port is damaged. This will serve as a way for people who have damaged their USB port to get unrooted, flash stock recovery & claim warranty for the damaged USB port.
pankaj88 has already made one but it doesn't remove the busybox so if possible try to make a zip which removes all the traces of the a rooted stock ROM.
You could start a new thread for it if you think it's needed as it is pretty useful & important.
Cheers !
Adam Now we are having ICS, so is it possible to rectify the touch Recovery bug (little lazy for few seconds) please.....
oops sorry i haven't read the OP fully, Ok now i understood because of kernel size you are not able to do it.....
UPDATE:
I updated the links, added CWM v4.0.0.2 and a short tutorial.
I'll get stock GB and ICS recoveries and add them in the following days (It depends on when I get them.)
If u want I can send u stock recovery images.

It'd be really great! I think a GB and an ICS one is enough. Thanks in advance!

This is great since I need to repack the stock firmware with CWM now just to get rid of the emmc bug.

You cannot flash through stock recovery right now. Flash a one with Odin first, it'll not increase the binary counter.

I'm not sure if u mean what I think u mean but u can always do a backup in image zip format it cuts the size down a lot and is an option in Official Cwm 6.0.1.4. In backup menu then I believe to restore you just wipe and flash the zip

[Q] flash a rom

How i could flash a rom from the recovery mode ?????
First you need to root your phone andinstall a custom recovery like clockworkmod recovery with odin...then you need to download your rom and place in your phones memory card(if theres one) or internal memory and install it from custom recovery...if you find your devices thread from xda forums you can get more information and all tools for flashing...i hope i helped you happy flashing from now ))

As far as I know, root is needed. Have you got clockworkmod (cwm) installed? Is cwm what you mean by "recovery mode"?
Plus, tell us your phone model and optionaly the ROM you want to flash.
Most of the times, there is a "How to install" section in the ROM's thread.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*** Please, Click "THANKS" button (on the left), in case this helped you!! Cheers! ***
Normaly, when you see/find the room you want install they explain how to flash this room from recovery mode using CWM. Because, many times it's diferent from rom to rom, principally in the "number of wipes".
You can see for example this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Flashing_Guide_-_Android
generally, after back up your things :
Create a partion ext4 in sdcard in recovery mode of the smartfone or with minitools, etc, in PC; after put on partion fat 32 of the sd card the rom you want install
In recovery mode on the smartfone:
Wipe data/factory reset; wipe cache; wipe dalwink cache
Install zip from sdcard and choose the rom
wipe data/factory reset
and restart.
But the best is to read a few thigs at this forum before you do flash. I took some days reading and learning things about rot and flash, etc., before I begin this kind of adventures. And at end, I could make it without mayor problems.
Sory my english, hope it's useful for you
Greg
It's easier explain if you say the smartfone you want to do is and/or the rom you want install.

My device model gt-s6500d
The recovery which i mean is the nenu which i open it pressing ( the volume button [up+ down]+ home button + power hey
As I see, most of the few custom ROMs I found around, suggest flashing via cwm
This for example, suggests:
* Flash STOCK ZSLE2 FIRMWARE via Odin3
* Flash CWM Recovery by Squadzone
* Flash ROM via CWM etc.
(From the "Installation / Flashing Instructions" section of the thread)
If you have another ROM in mind, check for the corresponding guide on that thread.
