If anyone is rooted with the STOCK recovery (kitkat or lollipop -- doesn't matter) on the US version (LTE or wifi - doesn't matter), can you please pull a copy of your recovery image and make it available to me?
How to get it:
adb shell, su to root, and:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/SOS of=/sdcard/recovery.img bs=4096
That will leave a "recovery.img" in the root of your internal storage.
(If someone has the one of the recovery packages from nvidia's website, it should also contain a recovery image.)
Thanks

I haven't seen any releases of baesband packages.
There is no current method to flash just the baseband that I know of. Assuming you want the newest KK1, the method you can use is to flash back to stock, do the official OTA update from AT&T, and then flash the rom you want and the KK1 modem will remain.
This should work with all of the roms listed here--none of them have the modem packaged in it that I know of (and I think I've tried them all...)
Actually, there is Tested and working fine! I have meant to release a CWM updater for this method (it's sitting on my linux partition - but it needs more widespread testing.)
Here is the manual method:
grab the odin.tar containing radio you want
grab amss.bin and mdm.bin from it
adb push them to your /sdcard/
boot into CWM
use the menu to mount /emmc
connect in adb shell
type the following:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13 of=/emmc/mmcblk0p13.bin
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 of=/emmc/mmcblk0p17.bin
(this gives you a backup of your /system/etc/firmware/misc and /system/etc/firmware/misc_mdm which constitute the modem)
dd if=/emmc/amss.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13
dd if=/emmc/mdm.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17
(done, you are now on the new modem firmware)
as a sanity check you can attempt to mount the partition to verify it flashed correctly, unmount and dd your backup if it did not)
PM me a link and I'll test it for you.

Cool...Sorry to be naive here, what if you have a CWM zip, how do you extract the mdm.bin and amss.bin? If someone can post the KK1 equivalent of those two (if they are on 2.3.6), I can probably create a CWM package using above instructions.
So guys.
Here is my humble CWM recovery, tested on 7 inch. Nandroid backup seems to work and flashing also. External SD card is used for reading.
Mounting of card to USB is not working yet.
Colors are now really fixed, including refresh.
Select is also now fixed and short press is working.
I am not responsible if you make some bricks to build yourself a new house. Anyhow chances of bricking are quite low, worst case is that your recovery will not boot and that's it.
I suggest that you make backup of your recovery partition before you start with dd or whatever so that you can flash it back in case something is not ok.
To flash:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
and
Code:
adb reboot recovery
to get to recovery
In the archive is my /device folder if someone wants to play some more.
I got the CM9 ICS booting into Launcher!!!
One more in for future needs.
Great to have mate, thanks a lot for your work.

How can I backup? what do i have to type?
Thanks for your work!
You can make backup for example like this and if something fails you can flash it back directly in fastboot.
Code:
adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

That will actually write img's to the partitions.
Backup is done this way
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 of=/sdcard/boot_backup.img
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 of=/sdcard/recovery_backup.img
jakaka you have sources now on utkanos git. You can contact him if you need any help to make backup to internal sdcard work.

Hi, I'm following your guide and the one in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1473555&page=1, but I seem to be stuck in the installation of CWM.
I succeded in rooting the Vodafone Smart Tab 10, as busybox tells so.
Then I issued this command:
C:\Users\...\android>fastboot flash recovery v10_cwmrecovery.img
sending 'recovery' (6214 KB)... OKAY
writing 'recovery'... OKAY
Rebooting the tablet in recovery mode always gets me to the Android System Recovery <3e>: wasn't I supposed to be shown the clockworkmod recovery system? If so, what am I doing wrong?
I also tried with Utkanos' v11a version, but with the same result...
Thanks to anyone who will help me

[SOLVED] I solved using the software downloaded from http://wwwen.zte.com.cn/endata/mobile/Italy/, as suggested here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1473555&page=59. Moreover, in that same thread (some days around the ones in page 59... ) I found a suggestion about removing some system files to avoid the loading of the stock kernel.

Whoa! You don't delete a recovery Just install TWRP and it will overwrite CWM.
Follow the instructions in the TWRP thread using goomanager or download the CORRECT version for your device form the teamwin web site and use the following from a PC
rename the downloaded file to twrp.blob and reboot to the bootloader / fastboot screen
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery twrp.blob
fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot
or from a terminal emulator on the device:
Save it to the root of your /sdcard directly (internal memory only) and rename it to twrp.blob
Launch terminal emulator or connect to your computer and open an adb shell, then type the following:
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/twrp.blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
Then reboot to complete installation.

You can just flash the update file from TWRP. You will loose your custom recovery and root if you flash the stock rom. So you would have to re-install TWRP and root again.
If you come from any kind of custom rom it's highly recommended to do a clean install of the stock rom. Wipe everything, don't restore apps from a backup (their data should be ok to restore), install all your apps from the Play Store.

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 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.

Hello guys, some time ago this device had more support from developers, someone could extract the recovery.img in order to keep it updated.
I wonder if anyone would know what the procedure is for extracting.
My device is the ZE552KL (Z012D).
I followed the steps in this tutorial, however, I did not succeed: https://tinyurl.com/yd3w4pxa
I followed all the steps and tried to extract recovery.img from the Zenfone 3 ZE552KL (Z012D) Asus firmware, however, there was a problem after applying the applypatch directive.
Error: patch boot.img: Only patches to EMMC targets are supported.
And I can not solve it.
install-recovery.sh (original extraction): https://hastebin.com/lupoqovila.bash
install-recovery.sh (change): https://hastebin.com/ofuqofezat.bash
Apllypatch directive used at the prompt: applypatch -b recovery-resource.dat boot.img recovery.img 28e9d4088f51c9dafb9189eb15f061c78be55a57 18791676 4a9f7c48e01aed3a46ac8d06618239dff9834caf: recovery-from-boot.p

I also asked for help at Zentalk, but so far no one has spoken.

Please, I'll be grateful if anyone can help.
The recovery partition is #59, therefore to back it up you can use terminal emulator and type;
Su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p59 of=/sdcard/recovery.img
To flash, go to fastboot and type
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot reboot
You need root for all this. You can convert the recovery image to be flashable via recovery but it only works with twrp, not stock.

Thanks for taking note of my question, but what I really need to know is about recovery stock. It would not be logical for my use to perform custom recovery extraction, since it is already found in the .img format from the developer's available links (TWRP).
Following the tutorial steps of the links I indicated it is possible to make a kind of compilation using the official OTA file, processing on the device itself to generate the file recovery.img stock.
Again thank you for trying to help, any and all help is very welcome.

Can someone post here stock recovery.img for ze520kl newest oreo firmware?
I'd like to know how to do this as well. I went through a lot of trouble to get Oreo installed after rooting and installing TWRP on my phone running Nougat, ended up having to go back to stock and install updates incrementally. As you noted, root is required to save the stock recovery.img, but since my device is not rooted now I can't root without installing TWRP first. That would put me in the same situation as the OP. The google translate of the link posted by the OP is a bit hard to understand, can someone else give an english explanation of how to extract recovery.img from firmware zip?
TIA
Update: I managed to follow the instructions in the OP's link, ended up with a similar applypatch command as he did and also encountered the same error with running the command over adb. I'm not sure if those instructions are for all asus devices, the one in the link is Asus P028 (Zenpad 10)
applypatch -b recovery-resource.dat boot.img recovery.img f448eeec56d4d87173858cd7aec25c36a7dfaaa7 18736380 9ebabd3eb6a59cfcaf0f4f048e2d8d6d870d7924:recovery-from-boot.p

when I type su and enter, on adb shell show error "/system/bin/sh: su: not found". my device is unrooted. I did this for boot and recovery backup before rooting. I'm using Zenfone x00rd (Live L1)
