MK2 stock recovery. Img - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General

This is a **STOCK** ".img"
Taken from my own phone
It is NOT custom in any way
Use only the method provided so that means NO Odin!
If you don't know how to "dd" and hit the wrong number you can BRICK your phone.
I hope this helps those that know how to use it

Is this the equivalent of the tar files for MF3 but for MK2? Can I flash this with Odin to restore MK2 to stock?

No. This is a recovery image. i.e. stock recovery. Don't be a dummy and just go flashing things blindly.

Thank you so much! I finally have my stock recovery back! I've been wanting to do a factory reset for a while now. Put su in survival mode and reset. Another question though, is there a custom recovery I can install on mk2?

No custom recoveries. It should be used to restore your broken stock ".img" from already trying to flash a custom ".img"
This is NOT a zip, tar, rar,NONE Odin file.

You can flash this with heimdall, just make sure you have the heimdall drivers installed (or use linux) and than use this command while you have the phone connected in download mode
Code:
heimdall flash --RECOVERY recovery.img
Just make sure you have the recovery.img in the same folder as heimdall

I wouldn't try it.
But than again "I" being me would try it.
If yours is already broken I wouldn't think it could hurt it any more than it is.
Make sure you know what partition your recovery is.

I got it. It clicked in that the .tar.md5 probably is just a pack of all the files so I renamed it to .tar and extracted the recovery.img off the official Verizon OTA and I flashed my recovery and got it back to where it should be.

Great Sir
Thanks For Sharing Sir

Thanks, I needed to go back to stock recovery after a borked CWM (in that, I wasn't paying attention that MK2 didn't handle custom recoveries) and got back pretty easy thanks to this.

This also fixed me up, i downloaded goo manager and it installed a TWRP Recovery, and well botched my ability. This gave me back at least my stock recovery!
Many Thanks!

Does anyone know how to make an odin flashable tar from the stock recovery.img? I tried caboomi's tar maker but the flash fails.

Why is the "dd" method to complicated.

Jball do you have any other images, like the modem. I seem to have lost my data connection trying to restore most of my phone settings.
Edit: Actually, I fixed my radio, somehow the APN's got blanked out, but my dialer is tripping out.

[RECOVERY] Stock Recovery.tar for I727UCKJ2

Thanks to Dxrta, attached is the stock recovery file needed for our Galaxy S II Skyrocket just in case you want to revert back to stock after using CWM Recovery. This could be useful when wanting to perform OTA updates.
Just flash the file via Odin by placing the .tar file in the pda.

Easy. Grab the return to stock Odin package. Using 7zip look inside the tar delete boot.img, system.img. flash away stock recovery.

No worries. I had a fellow xda member, mcmexican, check his SkyRocket to see if there was an update he had none as well.
Wierd, I used odin to flash back to stock and checked afterword and have no number under counter. Powered off and plugged in my usb jig and everything looks fine.
it tripped mine and now there is no way to reset it (yet)!
I used przekret's odin file, though, so it may be different.

Does this "unroot" the phone so it could, for instance, be sent in for warranty repair or return?
My Skyrocket is on it's way to me now to replace my old Captivate, not sure I want to root this one or leave it stock.

No this simply puts the stock android recovery on the phone instead of cwm.

wont let me delete without paying for the full version
So if I were to use this and go back to factory. I have cwm and rooted, and I am running the icecream sandwhich Rom, what do I need to do to flash back over? Do I need to do a full factory data wipe and so on?
Is this for Roger's SR as well?

[Q] [HELP!!] Tried to flash rooted Stock VRBF1 after Carbon 1.8, phone won't boot

I've been on Carbon 1.8 for some time (AOKP and CM10 before that) and wanted to go back to stock rooted TouchWiz for a while. So I downloaded the de-odexed rooted Stock VRBF1 from Scotts ROMs.
I flashed this from TWRP 2.5.0.0 and the phone would not boot beyond the "Samsung Galaxy S III" screen. This was a clean flash, I factory reset the phone and also manually cleaned the dalvik, cache, system and data from advanced wipe options.
I tried this again about twice with the same result.
I then tried a Stock VRALG7 zip that I had on my computer with the same result.
Finally, I gave up and decided to flash Carbon again, and the exact same thing happened - The phone won't boot beyond the "Samsung Galaxy S III" screen.
I can access Recovery just fine and even connect via adb. One thing I noticed was that when I am in TWRP and explore the files, /system is empty and has only one folder (bin)
At this point my phone is pretty much dead in the water and any help would be appreciated.
Thanks !!

My bad, use ODIN to flash the stock or the Carbon?
Also do I use the same zip that I got from scots roms or do I the stock firmware from sammobile?
I have never really used Odin and am not really sure if all zips are odin flashable or not.
Thanks again.

Use Odin to flash the stock tar then reroot. There's a no-wipe stock rom thread in the dev section that has a few stock images. If you have issues flashing those images then I firmly suggest using a tar that wipes /sdcard. You can download those on Samsung Update website for our phone model (SCH-I535).

They might have some as well, I'm mobile and at work so I can't check for you. Make sure the tar specifically states it's for "d2vzw" or SCH-I535. If someone else can help out please do. I know there are firmware on "Samsung Updates" website but I haven't looked on Sammobile before. Better yet, post the file name once it's downloaded.

[Q] Verizon galaxy s III SCH-1535 just rooted recoveries no data

Verizon Galaxy S III SCH 1535 rooted with casual. Got root access but any custom recovery will not identify OS or any data. Even flashed back to 4.0.4. stock and and stock recovery will not work.

4.3 Upgrade on Friday and root?

So I have a friend whose phone I rooted a while back. He's still on the stock ROM and has no plans to change. What do I have to do to get him the 4.3 upgrade when (or if lol) it comes out without locking his phone up? I'm assuming I'll have to remove root. Anyway to do that without using ODIN?
Thanks!

If he's still on the stock rom, he'll receive an OTA notification on his phone. So long as he hasn't removed any system apps or installed any systemUI mods then it will update just fine even with a custom recovery installed.
He removed a couple of system apps but is on the stock ROM with no UI changes.
he has time to worry about it later. nothing is going to happen on friday.
does he have a nand of the stock system? if so tell him to restore it before updating to be safe
Yeah that's what I thought but better safe than sorry. No NAND of stock as far as I know.
OK there is thread out there just has rooted stock ROMs you can flash in recovery without a data wipe. I can't seem to find the thread for some reason but I have the file. If you wait till tomorrow I can upload it and share it. Or maybe u can find the thread. Or if all he removed was Verizon apps he could try a flashable zip to restore VZW apps.

No bootloader is fine but that file needs to flashed in Odin. If you want use mobile Odin. Its what use and it's easier IMO. just make sure which ever version of Odin you use that you have plenty if charge ( over 70%)

OK. Because you do NOT want to get that term mixed up and you do not want to flash a flushable zip using odim. Very bad idea. Odin uses tar files which sometimes comes zipped up (not flashable via recovery)

[ODIN-RESTORE] [GS5-DEV Edition] Flashable Rescue package

I made a data dump backup of all important partitions needed to rescue your phone except for the bootloader.....these are phone specific due to a bootloader unlock key. You can locate all of these images using the link below.
I also created an ODIN flash-able rescue .tar in case you find yourself in a boot loop or other bricked state. This ODIN file contains a Stock rooted system image, stock boot image, and TWRP custom recovery. The name of this file is "GS5-DEV_VZWSTOCK_Rooted.tar.md5.7z" and it can be found by clicking the link below.
##CREDIT##
TWRP For their awesome recovery
Files include:
Main OS
system.img
recovery.img
boot.img
Radios
Modem.bin
ODIN Rescue FIle
GS5-DEV_VZWSTOCK_Rooted.tar.md5.7z
+Unpack ODIN File using 7zip
+Flash using ODIN 3.07 in PDA section
****DO NOT USE "JODIN" TO FLASH
+This will recover your phone back to a bootable state
+After flashing this via ODIN jump into TWRP recovery and wipe cache
+Reboot and you should be back to normal
+If you continue to have issues or force closing jump into TWRP and factory reset

If you found this rescue image useful and want to buy me a beer the link is below...
Thanks to those who have donated already.

Need testers for the ODIN flashable rescue file. Let me know if this works to rescue you from a brick state or loop
###FOR DEV VERSION ONLY###
EFS is device specific (IMEI, Mac-address and stuff). You should take it down.
Edit:- same with modemst1 and modemst2 (Snapdragon variants store their IMEI in those two partitions).

EFS is device specific (IMEI, Mac-address and stuff). You should take it down.

haha. One of the greatest show of all time.
By the way, you should left the modem.bin (block mmcblk0p2) in there. Just leave out modemst1 (mmcblk0p13) and modemst2 (mmcblk0p14).
And also you could flash any modem.bin and NON-HLOS.bin (apnhlos) you want since they don't have roll-back protection unlike (aboot, tz etc).
Just to confirm...
This is for the dev (Developer) edition of the SM-900V-dev.
It will NOT work on retail SM-900V.
Has anyone tried this on a retail box yet?

And no one with a retail unit can try it because the bootloader is locked and non signed Samsung odin packages are rejected.

The system.img file might need to be named system.img.ext4. But good job! This will come in handy with a DevS5...I know packages like this have been extremely helpful for those with DevS4's
added ext4 partition to system.img by performing a new data dump with the proper extension. Uploading now. Then Good to go

Is it up yet? or updated? thanks a millie
This worked fine flashing through odin, thanks for posting...
If the S5 Odin ever becomes available you can theoretically steal its recovery.img file and bundle it with this package. It should be the same recovery file for both dev and consumer S5's. Someone prove me wrong?

I can make an odin flashable file for the recovery. Do you want just the stock recovery? Also on the play store there is an app called flashify,. You can use this app to flash recovery img files straight from your phone. Works great

Thanks for this, worked great!

I tried flashing GS5 file in JODIN on Mac and says it was corrupt. Re-downloading file again to computer should be done in hopefully 1 days time. Have to use an open wifi neighbors connection. I got stuck in custom recovery due to me forgetting the reactivation lock is enabled in settings so for now im stuck with no options to boot.
