[Recovery] that Toastcfl provided when unlocking NAND

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

First of all, thanks for this thread. My problem is really weird. I have installed a cript that swaps internal sd with the external one, without a problem. Later when i intended to format the internal one my phgone rebooted only to recovery one (cwm). But i made a big mistake and tried service recovery using lg update. After that my recovery is the 3e otriginal recovery of lg and keeps booting to recovery. None of the unbricking (i tried them all) seems working. What i think is we need simply a method that formats and wipes all nand partitions such as fast boot or smart flash software that exists for optimus 2x. I am clueless now since i can only get to recovery mode and unbricikng doesn't work.

[HowTo] Infuse ADB Flashing Guide - Kernels, Roms, Modified 3e Recovery, Busybox

ABOUT:
This tutorial explains how to use adb to flash the following items starting from a UCLB3 base w/ root.
- Custom kernel w/ CWM recovery
- Modified 3e recovery
- Custom firmware (ROMS)
- Busybox
These instructions will most likely work coming from other rooted Infuse firmwares, but were tested starting from my Odin UCLB3 Unbrick package with root.
ADB SETUP:
Download: adb.zip
Download: SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe
Setup instructions are for Windows, but adb is also available for Linux and Mac.
a.) If necessary, uninstall any previous Kies or Samsung USB Driver installations, and install the Samsung USB driver from the above download link.
b.) Unzip contents of adb.zip and copy the folder contents to C:\Windows\
c.) If your phone is booted up and running, make sure you select USB debug mode in settings. ADB also works in CWM recovery, and in modified 3e recovery.
d.) To test your installation, open a command prompt (Press WINDOWS KEY + R - type cmd - press Enter).
Type:
Code:
adb devices
If all is working, you will see your device listed.
Some quick command tips:
To move a file from your computer to the phone, "push" it:
Code:
adb push myfile.zip /directory-on-phone/
Of course, you need to be in the computer directory for your file in the command line to push it to the phone.
To get a file from your phone onto your computer, "pull" it:
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/myfile.zip
To access a command prompt for the phone:
Code:
adb shell
Inside that shell, you can use unix commands from within the Android OS to manipulate your phone.
------------------------------------------------------------
INSTRUCTIONS FOR GINGERBREAD:
(Scroll down for ICS Instructions.)
------------------------------------------------------------
Instruction steps must be followed in order.
Step 1: Use adb to install a custom kernel
Download: flash_image.zip (Extract and use flash_image for instructions below.)
You'll also need a Gingerbread kernel zImage.
Code:
adb push flash_image /data/local/tmp/flash_image
adb push zImage /data/local/tmp/zImage
adb shell
$ su
# chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/flash_image
# chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/zImage
# /data/local/tmp/flash_image boot /data/local/tmp/zImage
# reboot recovery
Step 2: Use adb to install modified 3e recovery
Necessary for Step 3.
Download: 3e_recovery_no_sig_check.zip (Extract and use recovery for instructions below.)
Code:
adb remount
adb push recovery /system/bin/recovery
adb shell "chmod 755 /system/bin/recovery"
adb reboot recovery
Step 3: Use adb to install a custom firmware
This step uses the modified 3e recovery to flash unsigned firmware.
You'll need to download the zip file for the Gingerbread (or possibly Froyo) rom that you would like to flash. These instructions have been tested by flashing my Ethereal rom.
Replace YourFirmware.zip with the actual name of your rom zip.
Code:
adb push YourFirmware.zip /sdcard/
adb remount
adb shell
# echo "boot-recovery" > /cache/recovery/command
# echo "--update_package=SDCARD:YourFirmware.zip" >> /cache/recovery/command
# reboot recovery
Let firmware flash complete, and then type:
Code:
adb reboot
EXTRA: Use adb to install busybox
Download: Busybox-1.20.2.zip (Extract and use busybox for instructions below.)
Code:
adb remount
adb push busybox /system/xbin/busybox
adb shell
# chmod 755 /system/xbin/busybox
# ln -s /system/xbin/busybox /system/bin/busybox
# /system/xbin/busybox --install -s /system/xbin
# exit
----------------------------------------
INSTRUCTIONS FOR ICS:
----------------------------------------
STEP: Use adb to flash an ICS kernel; then use blue CWM recovery to install an ICS rom.
Download: flash_image.zip (Extract and use flash_image for instructions below.)
You'll also need an ICS kernel boot.img and it is recommended that you push an ICS rom zip to your sdcard. Once you are in blue CWM recovery, you won't be able to use adb to push anything else to the device.
Replace YourFirmware.zip with the actual name of your rom zip.
Code:
adb push YourFirmware.zip /sdcard/
adb push flash_image /data/local/tmp/flash_image
adb push boot.img /data/local/tmp/boot
adb shell
$ su
# chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/flash_image
# chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/boot
# /data/local/tmp/flash_image boot /data/local/tmp/boot
# reboot recovery
From here, just follow the normal instructions for flashing your ICS rom in blue recovery.
I'll add to these instructions as I find more for ICS, and as support increases for adb in the CWM recovery we're using in ICS roms. At this time, adb support isn't fully working in Infuse ICS CWM recoveries. If you use adb to get an ICS kernel / CWM recovery combination, just use the recovery menu to do anything else. If you need to get other files onto the device while in blue CWM recovery, go to mounts and storage, mount /sdcard/, and mount USB storage.
Hope this is useful to someone else. I mainly wanted to see how much could be done with just adb, and I learned quite a bit about how the phone works in the process.
Wow my friend...nice and thx for what you provide the Infuse Community.
It is people like you, why i stay!
very nice how-to!

Thanks fellas. And, by the way, I know that most general users aren't going to use adb to flash kernels and firmware. It's of course easier to use all of the Heimdall one-click and Odin tools that we have - as well as the Infuse Toolkit, Heimdall suite, SGS Kernel Flasher, and CWM recovery. So, for the person asking, "Why would someone still do this, when we have all of the tools that we have?" - this isn't for you.
I approached this from the standpoint of asking, "What if we didn't have access to all of the easy tools?".
At some point, if someone is having issues with Odin and Heimdall, or if they can't use their hardware buttons, maybe they will find this useful. I like to do things from the command line and not have to touch the phone while I'm working on development stuff - plus I type fast, and since I spent years in the command line on Slackware linux, prefer using unix commands. I'm actually faster at CLI stuff than with GUI stuff, plus I like the control that CLI gives you.
I had to help a forum member restore his phone over a remote tech support session using https://join.me/ . He claimed that he couldn't get Heimdall or Odin to recognize his phone. I was able to use adb to do things from his computer, which was helpful, since I couldn't see or directly use his phone. I had to ask him to do some things on the phone, so I later wanted to figure out how to do more using just adb. That's what this is all about. If I had to help someone over a remote session now, I could do most everything without them ever touching their phone.
First of all thank you very much for the guide, but I seem to be having a problem
Whenever I try this:
Code:
adb push YourFirmware.zip /sdcard/
adb remount
adb shell
# echo "boot-recovery" > /cache/recovery/command
# echo "--update_package=SDCARD:YourFirmware.zip" >> /cache/recovery/command
# reboot recovery
the first issue is the phone reboots but continues to system and not to recovery.
now if I manually make it boot recovery, CWM gives me an error that it couldn't mount: SDCARD:update.zip
the update.zip that I'm trying to flash is CM9 RC2, also tried other zip files and also failed.
what am I doing wrong ?!
Thanks in advance.

If you follow the steps correctly from Gingerbread (including the step to install modified 3e recovery), and replace "YourFirmware.zip" with the name of your firmware, these adb commands use 3e recovery to flash firmware. These flashing instructions are not for CWM recovery, and the steps you are following aren't for flashing ICS from Gingerbread. Look further down in the first post for ICS adb instructions.

Thanks for clearing it up. The reason why I used that method is because I looked online and I found it on another forum and the post owner didn't mention anything about it should be used with GB.
infuse CM9 rainbows
I'm caught with a half-done CM9 install of the infuse upgraded from cm7.
Somehow I was able too boot once sucessfully into CM9 though with the initial rainbow screen, but now my device hangs in recovery which is also garbled. I've been searching all over for a nice thorough guide to getting this thing going again and your post here was the only one I found remotely applicable to my situation.
I've been trying your ADB instructions for flashing with ICS but I'm stuck at second step: where I only get: cannot stat "flash-image": no such file or directory.
Since I'm stuck in CWM recovery none of the other options seems to see my device, ie. Heimdall or Odin.
Is there a better solution out of my woes?
Excuse my noobiness.
By stucked at recovery you mean it always boots up into recovery (recovery bootloop)?
You should go back to ULCB3 stock, preferably using Jscott's "option C" and flash the GB bootloaders. Then proceed to installing CM9, and remember to do a double flash. (wipes, flash, reboot, phone hangs, boot into cwm with 3-finger combo, wipe and flash!)
This way you'll solve both the recovery bootloop and the rainbows, and bring you CM9

Yes the problem right now is that the only understandable thing I get out of the phone is the samsung logo at boot.
I think it goes into recovery but I can't really tell because the screen is garbled. Also using "adb reboot download" seems to make no difference to Odin or Heimdall which both refuse to see the phone.
I would love to find out exactly which state the phone is in but my knowledge of adb isn't that great to say the least.
How do I flash bootloaders using adb only?
I totally appreciate your help Andros, totally out of luck with this so far.
The only way to flash bootloaders is in download mode using either odin or heimdall.
Adb reboot download should get you into download mode as long as you have adb access while on recovery. If not, get into download mode this way:
Take out battery, and put it back in.
Hold both vol+ & vol- (don't press power)
plug in usb cable to phone.
Once in download mode, your phone should be recognized by Odin. If not, try reinstalling the drivers using the ones in the iset thread.
There are many threads about this situation that should also help you out, just search around
Sent from my sweet and buttery Infuse
Okay, somehow I missed how to use the keys to enter download state.
In my mind using adb to enter download state should be the same as the keys but somehow that isn't the case.
Got the GB bootloaders installed and used an odin package and then redid the CM9 installation.
Sorry about spamming this thread, and thanks to andros for getting me going again.
Interesting, I also didn't know that could make a difference. Lesson learned lol
Glad you got it running again

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.

[CWM] 6.0.3.3 for HP Slate 7

I have successfully built ClockworkMod for our HP Slate 7. I have been successful in backup and restore to and from internal SD and external SD. This is confirmed working on 2800 series and 4600 series tablets.
Prerequisites
You must have root to install this.
- Download ROOT install tool http://www.sjroot.com
- After tablet is rooted, install SuperSU from the market and update the su binary
- Verify root access with Root Checker or equivilent
Updates
-Confirmed working on 2800 series by user Joshua11007! Thanks!
-Confirmed working on 4600 series by goodguy25. Thanks!
-Added download link to stock recovery
Install at your own risk. I or anyone else am not responsible for the damage caused to your tablet or breaking warranty.
Issues
If you go into key test the only way out is to reboot is to hold the power button until tablet resets, but i think this normal.
Install from Windows *** Updated installer
If your tablet isn't rooted, please root it first. You must also have ADB working in Windows. This installer will not work from Linux, but I will provide steps below to flash from linux too.
Download attached zip file and extract on Windows PC.
Follow back-up procedure below if you want to backup your factory recovery first. (This can be skipped but you won't have your factory recovery image anymore if you skip it).
Run the Batch file labeled "Install-CWM.bat"
Done! The script will automatically reboot the tablet into recovery when complete.
Install from Linux
Ensure tablet is rooted
Download attached file and unzip it
Code:
adb push recovery.img /sdcard/
Code:
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mtd/by-name/recovery
Code:
adb shell mv /system/recovery-from-boot.p /system/recovery-from-boot.p.old
Done! You have copied the recovery image to the internal SD, copied it to the recovery partition, and moved the factory recovery image so it doesn't over-write CWM the next time you reboot.
Backup Procedure
From your computer with ADB working
Code:
adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mtd/by-name/recovery of=/sdcard/factory-recovery.img
Code:

I have successfully built ClockworkMod for our HP Slate 7. I have only tested this on my Slate, which is a 2800. I have been successful in backup and restore to and from internal SD and external SD. I don't have a ROM to test with yet but once I do, I will verify ROM installation works as well.
I hope this goes without saying, but I am the only person that has tested this, so install at your own risk. I or anyone else am not responsible for the damage caused to your tablet or breaking warranty.
Issues
None that I am aware of. Please let me know otherwise.
Install from Windows
If your tablet isn't rooted, please root it first. You must also have ADB working in Windows. This installer will not work from Linux, but I will provide steps below to flash from linux too.
Download attached zip file and extract on Windows PC.
Follow back-up procedure below if you want to backup your factory recovery first. (This can be skipped but you won't have your factory recovery image anymore if you skip it).
Run the Batch file labeled "Install-CWM.bat"
Done! The script will automatically reboot the tablet into recovery when complete.
Install from Linux
Ensure tablet is rooted
Download attached file and unzip it
Code:
adb push recovery.img /sdcard/
Code:
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mtd/by-name/recovery
Code:
adb shell mv /system/recovery-from-boot.p /system/recovery-from-boot.p.old
Done! You have copied the recovery image to the internal SD, copied it to the recovery partition, and moved the factory recovery image so it doesn't over-write CWM the next time you reboot.
Backup Procedure
From your computer with ADB working
Code:
adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mtd/by-name/recovery of=/sdcard/factory-recovery.img
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/factory-recovery.img
You have copied the recovery partition to your internal SD and copied it to your computer.

I have added a link to the op. Thanks.
Just tested, I can confirm it works.
Most easy way to install on linux :
Use this rkflashkit
Also works across 4600 models. Just don't use key test as you'll trap yourself inside and have to power off manually.

You can flash the stock recovery via Flashify if you're rooted.

Yep. That was the first thing I checked. Confirmed it with Root Checker...
Edit: For extra information, I have the HP Slate 7 2801 (Same as the 2800 version)

If I were you, I would get the Cwm recovery on to the tablet, then using terminal emulator to backup the stock recovery and install the Cwm one.

Could you clarify that? How would I get CWM recovery on to the tablet? I'm getting the error message when running the Batch file 'Install-CWM.bat'. The cmd console has that message about permission being denied and then it says installation complete and press to reboot. When rebooting, it goes to the stock recovery...

Try taking the CWM .IMG file and flashing it via Flashify.

I looked through my batch script. I think I need to modify it because it's not executing as root. Use the steps I created for Linux except from Windows command prompt. That's all the batch file is doing.

I tried this but when I open Flashify, it says 'You don't have root/superuser access'. But, Root Checker says that I have root and SuperSU is working...

It states that:

Strange. Try rerooting, both issues are connected to root. It could be the SU binary as well, does SuperSU want you to update?

I've tried rebooting several times, SuperSU doesn't need an update but it's still not working...
I'll need a bit more time to make the ROM. Sorry guys, I've been trying to tackle an issue with porting CWM to the Slate 7 Plus. I will definitely have a ROM for you guys by the time Saturday rolls around.
