Those who struggle to get CWM recovery for thier newer devices and who are facing problem on romdump your stock rom to get stock recovery.img here you have 2 simple steps to get your CWM recovery for your new device
Step -1
Creating A Dump\Backup
Note: Root Required
1. Set "Settings" -> "Display" -> "Sleep" -> "10 minutes"
2. Install or update "Busybox" from play store
3. Set your phone to "Airplane" mode
4. Make sure that the card is not less than 2Gb of free space
5. Use any one of the following:
BakupTool_sdcard.zip saves a backup copy on the path: /mnt/sdcard/backup_v2
BakupTool_sdcard2.zip saves a backup copy on the path: /mnt/sdcard2/backup_v2
6. Extract the BakupTool_* to sdcard. Full path to the file should be: / sdcard / gscript
7. Install program: /sdcard /gscript /"GScriptLite.apk"
8. Open the program "GScriptLite". Press "Menu button" -> "Add Script"
9. Set tick "Needs SU"
10. Click "Load file" and select "back_mt657x.sh"
11. Click the button "Save"
12. Tap on a new script, "back_mt657x.sh". After that give the program root permissions if asked and wait for 5- 10 minutes. Do not use the phone during the process.

My device is different. Technically I have cwm recovery already. It's just only accessible through a fast boot command. This allows me to have a nandroid back up already so I just took the recovery.img from a stock back up

I tried this for a Lenovo IdeaTab A2109 to try and build a touch recovery. It already has a unofficial cwm recovery non touch, so I used that as the recovery.img. It put out 2 recovery.img's. One was a recovery.img and the other inputreovery.img. I'm not sure what one I should flash or if I'm supposed to flash both. Would it put out errors if it didn't work?
Thanks for this post and any help you can give.

If it gives error like black screen or volume key unfunction means it is not compiled properly but don't worry your device won't brick and u can revert back ur recovery by placing original.img on the root of phone storage and flash through mobileuncle tool..all the best

Three Questions and I'm gonna try this out:
1. If the CWM recovery I build from CWM builder doesn't work, can I flash back the stock recovery by Mobile Uncle Tools, I mean won't it brick the device, can I still boot? I have a MT6577 device.
2. Does the script provided here backups up the stock recovery on Ice Cream Sandwich?
3. What else does this script do? Backup the whole phone?

Okay, Thank you.
I will try and update you on this.
Edit: After flashing recovery, I got blank screen in recovery mode.

thanx mate , really a helpfu guide i have Xtouch x714 with Allwinner A13 chip
before i tried many A13 CWM none of them worked not even boot , they nearly damage my tablet
thank god there is Phoneixcard i was able to revive it .
Anyway , your methode of getting the recovery.img from [gscript] did not work for me , it kept give me errors
even though it shows 100% complete
so i used another method to get my recovery.img , hence my tablet is an Allwinner A13 chip, so
i used [ Rom Dump ] which a small and powerful tool run it in Windows from [ http://www.techknow.me ]
it uses ADB so u have to be rooted and enable developer mode in your device and have ADB drivers in your PC
it backup image of your system and boot.img , recovery.img and data
so i used the extracted recovery.img in the site you provide me and i got my new recovery.img and flash it to my tablet via NovoTools 1.0
and i test it , it works like charm , thanx again mate really helpful

step 2 no working....website down?

Black Screen
When I flashed recovery made through it, it gave me a black screen Is there any way to fix this??

the online one is not working
i tried twice for micromax a84... i got the CWM recovery and flashed it via mobile uncle tools...but it didnt work

?
after hitting "build" it states
your build has been queued.The
build id is
9b42b141e21a35c4007c250f45ab2039
continue to the build sever
view the current build output
when i hit either option i get "HTTP ERROR 404.
can anyone else see my build id and if so can you download it and link it to me via PM.
or what can i do to get my image

[Q] Create Flashable zip from Stock ASUS .zip ?

Can anyone link me to a guide or explain here how to convert an ASUS Stock .zip ROM to a Flashable zip that can be flashed in recovery ?
I managed to get my hands on the final Stock Honeycomb 8.6.5.21 ROM ASUS released before moving over to ICS and want to create a flashable .zip so I can flash it in recovery like any other custom ROM
Thanks

No, you cant. But you can take your /system (ROM) files and compress it as .tar file from the Terminal Emulator. You need know how to make an updater-script to make the zip file flashable from custom recovery. Try to use the Android Kitchen

It's packed as a blob so not as easy as extracting it I suppose, I've read a little about extracting blob files but never tried it
Thanks for the info, I`ll leave the link to it here if anyone fancies giving it a shot
http://www.portableandroid.co.uk/androidDL/WW_epad-user-8.6.5.21.zip

One way is to extract the blob from the zip ( which is actually a zip within a zip ) and write it to disk from a terminal I'm assuming you are rooted as you mention having CWM . The command off the top of my head is: dd if=/pathtoyourblobfile of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4. It will take a few minutes to complete, bear in mind you will be back to stock, I.e. no CWM and you will lose root. HTH.

That's why I wanted a flashble zip, so I don't return to stock and can easily flash back to 4.2.2 when I'm done playing
Cheers though

What I did was backup 4.2.2, then flash stock (recovery and ROM).
Then I rooted and installed TWRP using Wolf's method 3.
Made a stock backup in TWRP.
Then I can restore to stock, and when I'm done I can restore back to 4.2.2

You can take your ROM files by doing these commands in the Terminal Emulator.
Code:
su
tar -c system/* >> sdcard/system.tar
And wait for few minutes and a file named system.tar will appear in /sdcard. You can take the file from your computer and use the android kitchen to make the /system file flashable in custom recovery. You can find the tutorial (Here)

Good idea, so does the TF see the HC update zip and just allow you to flash as if it was an OTA, even from JB or did you need to flash it a different way ?

I flashed the last ICS firmware (unzip once) from TWRP. Should work the same from HC.
Then install TWRP using ADB or APX. Root if you want (flash SuperUser.zip) and make a nandroid.

TWRP Xperia E c1505. Rom stock

This is the result of trial and error to install a custom recovery my Xperia c1505 Stock Rom
¡¡¡¡¡¡ATTENTION!!!!!!
I am not responsible for any problems that may occur from a bad flash....
Requirements.
Bootloader unlocked.
File browser (I use ES file Explore)
Root
My xperia E with stock rom does not go into recovery mode by any means "looked like it had not installed" and made the following::
Step 1: Download the .app you install a recovery: https://m.app.box.com/view_shared/h37116w7zkqookdwp4iy I know, it's an LG but it works on our Xperia albeit with limitations (no backup or restore) will use it to install a zip. We do this because before we could get into recovery (do not really know why) and this if.
Step 2: Download Aroma v3 kernel flasher: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...m-kernel-flasher-v3-xperia-miro-tipo-t2481671 "by Yash98"
Step 3: Download this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-j-e/development/rom-drz-xperia-e-ss-t2850459 "by Daniel Florin"
and extract the boot.img file
Step 4: Unzip v3 kernel flasher.
DANGER and brings a boot.img default.
Delete it if you use that boot.img have a nice, expensive paperweight. Move the boot.img from the rom you downloaded to the folder v3 kernel flasher us stay that way. META-INF folder files six more, including our boot.img. select and compress the zip give the name you want. Example.. Xperiae.zip TWRP.
Step 5: We put out our Xperia. Lights turn on and while we press vol- repeatedly until it enters recovery will install zip from sdcard select our zip installed it and the Aroma installer will follow the steps that we mark and ready :beer:
This method worked perfectly for me on my Xperia E c1505 stock Rom 11.3 A 2.33.
Thanks to: Daniel Florin.

you need to use a custom recovery like cwm or twrp

that's a flashable zip you need a custom recovery to flash it, search on Google CWM for Nexus 4

1. root ur device
2. install busy box
3.install rashr app
4.download .img file of ur custom recovery (google it)
5.flash it via rashr app(keep ur internet connection on)
6. then flash your .zip file via the custom recovery
i did the same for error: pie (reaver -bcmon) chutiyapa tha
