I have a retail galaxy tab 10.1 16gb and was wondering how do I flash the newest clockwork recovery touch .img? From what I understand we don't have access to fastboot and doing the method on terminal emulator doesn't work either. Is their another option to do it without having to go to rom manager and purchasing the touch recovery
You could tar it and flash the new tar with Odin. Also, you can find cwm in pershoot's blog and flash it with Odin, sans the "tar it" part.

Well koush finally released a new version so trying to get the touch version of it installed.
I'm using a CM9 ROM, it has ROM Manager included and I can flash cwm touch without problem and free of charge (cwm touch works well).
Anyway, I made a .tar.md5 from the recovery.img of cwm touch and tried to flash it via Odin, but Odin crashes when is doing the analysis of the file. If you want I can upload it, maybe it works for you (the error is non descriptive, so I don't know what's wrong).
I think you might have to rename the touch img to recovery.img but thats what was my next plan of action. I have Rom Manager premium and yet I don't find any way to select the img itself besides selecting I want to pay for it.

Do you mean for the .tar.md5 for Odin? Because i did.
Edit: Damn! I don't know what I did wrong, maybe the download was bad =/ but I tried again and now works fine for me. You can flash this with Odin: recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.3.1-p4wifi
Thank you for that link to the odin recovery!

Hi
Does anyone have CWM "recovery.zip" for Gtab 10.1 GT P7500. I can only find md5 and .img files. I am refering the latest version 5.5.0.4.
Thank you
I asked around for this a few days ago and a guy posted a link for me...I can't find it now...darn it!
I read in another thread that you can use ROM Manager to flash your IMG though. If you still have that zipped up, park it on your SD card, open ROM Manager and go "install zip from SD Card". Select it and flash and I think you will be okay...I have never tried it that way though.
Can anyone else confirm this works? Or if you are brave give it a try and let us know!

This is the GT-P7500 CWM recovery 5.504 with Odin3.
View attachment Tab10.1Recovery.zip
There are some issue upgrade ICS 4.0.4 with rom manager.
like boot loop, screen rollong in CWM recovery mode. maybe not affect by Rom manager...
but most issue reply with rom manager installed.
For rolling screen there's a fix,flashing custom bootloader,but causes issues on official ICS at the moment...

Thank you for your files. Just to explain why I need it: since i am a linux user i try to flash my tab using linux. The following procedures did not want to work:
-Adb / Fastboot
-heimdall
-flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img.
The only method to flash the recovery for me is flashing it with the recovery as a .zip file and then rebooting the recovery. In this way I was able to install CM10 Jelly Bean on my tab.
Cheers.

Did you zip it up first? Don't extract it.
You can use Mobile ODIN to install the .md5 recovery if you're rooted
The pro version is on the Play Store or the lite version is free in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899
I don't think that zipping the image solves the problem. As far as I know you have to zip it without compression. It would be helpful if there would be a how-to for Linux in this case.

thanks. never tried that one
I was only wondering if this was available since we can't flash recovery images on the opposite recovery. I have made a recovery image in TWRP but have not gone so far to not just flash CWM and make a recovery image that will serve as my new point zero. Just curious since I only saw flashable CWM.

the link you gave to TWRP recovery was exactly what i was looking for. In the TWRP website they have a flashable option for TWRP to use in whatever existing recovery you have, that is CWM for us. Under droidstyle's guide (there's the thread also in dev section too for CWM) there is also a link for flashable CWM so now im set.
Although you already found what you were looking for, you can also download/run the goo manager app, press menu->install open recovery script. That will install TWRP.

I was hoping this way would let me get out but Ive now lost any custom recovery while in paranoid android. So what i did was while in Jelly Beans rom is flash CWM recovery to then flash Paranoid. I then decided to go back to beans, and i tried to flash TWRP zip that i has to restore my recovery. That failed an i have no recovery. I only have android system recovery <3e>. I am currently trying the goo manager to get me back, but so far i dont think im doing it right ill keep trying.
...So with goo manager i cant flash back to beans, i cant flash CWM back on, and ive: installed open recovery script to to install the TWRP img file but it must not have worked, but i cant see anything to indicate not.
Ok so im am stuck with just the stock recovery. In goo manager it says the recovery was installed but if is reboot to recovery its just crappy old boring stock and if i try to flash anything from goo manager it just reboots to that same stock recovery. Anyone know how to get a custom recovery back?

The TWRP in goo manager is not the correct one for our phone. I did the same thing and ended up in the same position as you. I used the suckitverizon file from Adams thread and odined it back on to the phone. If was in that position now I would use the newly released tool kit.
Good luck.

Im downloading the toolkit now but in the meantime did you have to restart the whole process in the 3 step bootloader unlock or did you just start at flashing suckitverizon version 2 in odin? Im just wondering how safe that is.

No I did not have to start over. If I recall correctly, I put the suckit file in the pda box and hit start. You can read up on it in Adams main thread and I know there were a few other people in the same fix.
Good luck
Toolkit saved my bacon. Many lessons learned. so if i want to restore an image in twrp say from paranoid then i use cwn to flash to a rom that plays nice with twrp then flash twrp back then recover in twrp. Now if i get stuck the toolkit has the correct twrp and cwm for the verizon note ii.
spoke too soon i though at least getting cwm was all good. However the toolkit wont install TWRP which is what i have my backups made on. i followed all the step on screen and selected sch-i605 to be flashed in odin. I can only reboot into stock recovery afterwards. :crying:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2051992 This has been asked (by me) and answered (by awesome folks with more sense than me).
ok it all over. CWM can be had by flashing zip in twrp or through tool kit. twrp i only regained by odining again the suckitverizon from Adam's unlockbootloader thread.
I have TWRP flashed to my device right now but want to switch back to stock recovery for a moment.
I used the app Flashify to flash TWRP onto my S5 and it works flawlessly. I forgot to backup the stock recovery image beforehand.
Can someone who is rooted that doesn't have a recovery flashed please go into the Flashify app and backup their stock recovery and upload it here? Or send me a recovery backup of any other form? Maybe even the recovery portion of the odin stock rom files that I can flash through odin. It'd be a helpful file to a lot of those on here that only need to flash stock recovery partition to return to stock.
Even anyone with the stock 1.5gb odin files, if you can extract the recovery.img file for me, please upload
I know I can flash the 1.5gb stock firmware through odin but I'm away from home with limited data right now
Thanks for anyone who can help.
Not keeping backups is a bad habit as you are now finding.
You've made an odd request as well, but the attached should be what you want. I doubt that you'll run into any problems using this, but there are absolutely no guarantees. Write at your own risk.
Should you run into any unexpected difficulties, you should be able to revert by restoring your TWRP backup, another custom recovery or a full stock firmware image as required.
edit - the attachment below is a 900T TWRP 2.7.0.0 recovery image
It can be restored with TWRP. It is not a stock recovery image

Thanks a lot for that quick response.
I definitely made a full system backup in TWRP after flashing TWRP recovery, I just forgot to backup the stock recovery itself. Oops.
What format is this zip in? It doesn't seem to be backed up using Flashify app and cannot be restored using flashify. Is this for odin?
You said that you were using TWRP, so the attached is a TWRP archive. Restore it from TWRP and presumably you will have a stock recovery after you reboot.
It is not a flashable type zip file. i don't use flashify, so you'll have to look to someone else to reply if you need it in only that format.
.
Ahhhhhhhh. Makes perfect sense. Thank you.

Hmm, I extracted the folder properly into my TWRP backup folder in the correct format. TWRP saw it and gave my the option to restore recovery, restore success. Recovery is TWRP still.
Hmm, strange.
It seems the files you gave me is a backup of TWRP 2.7.0.0 where I was previously running TWRP 2.7.1.0
Flash was a success but instead of factory stock recovery image that you uploaded, it's an image backup of TWRP 2.7.0.0
thanks
Err.. that sounds like my backup was mislabeled and was actually a TWRP recovery rather than a stock one. I'll look again and if I have an older and presumably stock recovery, I'll post it.
Or with any luck someone else can provide a stock image for you with more alacrity.

That would be so awesome if you have an old backup of stock recovery. Thanks for your help. :good:
Okay, what I originally posted for you was self-labeled "baseline_900T". As it turns out that was a baseline from immediately after installing TWRP 2.7.0.0. Seems that at some point I deleted my stock backup, no doubt knowing that I could always write a full firmware image if I had need.
So I've extracted the stock 900T recovery for you from Chainfire's CF Autoroot thread. You'll need to write this with Odin. Or you could pad the end of the file, rename it and restore from TWRP. The difference being that TWRP writes out the entire partition while Odin eschews the EOF padding.
You may not prefer Odin but it gives you something to work with if you don't see anyone posting a Flashify file for you.

Awesome, thank you.
But now I'm a bit stumped where ODIN will not flash a regular .zip needing a .tar, .md5, smd instead and will not flash a .zip or the img file in the zip directly.
A cursory Google search would have told you that all you need to do is add the img file to a tar archive.

Thank you. I'm learning. That script to create a tar.md5 worked great. Flashed that file worked via odin, but now my recovery doesn't appear to be stock recovery. It is the Auto-root script recovery and nothing else. Going to try digging for a small package somewhere floating around with the stock recovery.img the best I can.

Ok thank you so much for putting in the work
First I downloaded Flashify app, did you know the app comes with twrp, cwm 6.0.4.6 touch, and Philz. Tried all three the device boot looped trying to boot into all the recoveries. Had to pull the battery, and start over. Next I tried to the to recoveries I made with Flashify same result. Then I tried to flash PhilZ 6.12.9 hltespr .tar and the original copy of cwm 6.0.4.6 touch .img with Flashify no go. I figured maybe Flashify is the problem, so I used odin on my PC and tried the two recoveries I made, and got the same result, a boot loop on trying to boot into recovery mode. Odin doesn't recognize the cwm 6.0.4.6 touch .img. But I don't think that is the problem, even though the download says its for sprint note 3 its not compatible. I'm running NC5 stock rooted, with Philz CWM 6.12.9 hltespr which has been bulletproof, maybe cwm 6.0.4.6 touch is out dated, most of the posts on the site appear to be from last year ?

You could give this a try, here is the link http://d-h.st/users/xiaolu/?fld_id=31963 I flashed the recovery on the bottom " n9005-cwm-recovery-6.0.4.7-kk(0125).tar " it's for Sprint devices to,
picked it up on Zedomax's site. I flashed it with odin works perfect, and it is full touch with menu keys on the bottom, so you don't use the device keys. You should be able to use mobile odin to install. It's the next version after 6.0.4.6 I think ?
My Samsung Galaxy S2 SGH-I727 is stuck in a bootloop and I'm trying to make a backup of my data, as I am getting a new phone on Monday (woo, finally an upgrade!). It seems from my limited knowledge and research that the best way to do this would be to flash CWM recovery. The problem is, when I download the CWM recovery for my phone from the clockworkmod ROM Manager page, I can't seem to find a tar.md5 file after unzipping, to use to flash using ODIN. Am I missing something here?

I dont know clearly but clockworkmod ROM manager app includes ROM's not recovery file. If you search your devices forum you can find CWM file which you need to flash from ODIN.

I wasn't referring to the app. CWM's Rom Manager section of their website has a section for CWM recovery files, but none seemed to contain the tar.md5 file I needed. Luckily, I stumbled across one in one of the threads here which worked. XDA is great!
