Use the stock recovery image in the CWM recovery zip file. You can extract the recovery from any stock Rom file too.

That is either the system or Odin, try another version of Odin, and if that has the same error then try another computer.
As a last resort backup your data and see if you can flash a stock Rom with the recovery included, I am guessing this is for warranty you need it as stock?

Ok, try this one

Please reupload. Its only 8 bytes, I think stock recovery is 8mb.
Sent from my GT-I9205 using xda app-developers app

If You have Windows here the TOOL .tar.md5.packager, work well to create the stock-recovery.tar.md5, or another Mod.tar.md5
(folder \in is the root of packager)

i edited the batch file because some of the commands on the file is not compatible with windows xp...im now on stock recovery but rooted. thanks

Extract stock kernel

Hello,
Ive flashed my SGS2 withe the latest stock ICS rom and rooted it with CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_LPH-v5.2-CWM5 to remove the triangle i want to flash the stock kernel but can't find it in the threads here.
Now I'm tryin to find out in wich file the stock Kernel is located. I've downloade the rom from Sammobile.
I've got 4 files:
GT-I9100-MULTI-CSC-OXALPH.tar.md5
I9100_APBOOT_I9100XXLPH_CL118559_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
I9100_CODE_I9100XXLPH_CL118559_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
MODEM_I9100XXLPH_REV_02_CL1104396.tar.md5
I think its in I9100_CODE_I9100XXLPH_CL118559_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5 so i renamed it to .rar en extracted it and found a zImage file that is 7.99MB in size.
Is this correct and if it is how to flash it?
Thnx in advance
I posted the zImage below.
Yes it is. Flash with mobile Odin or one of the other flashing tools.
Oke glad i got it correct
Do i have to rename it when i want to flash it with Odin? Or do i have to wrapped in to a .zip or tar file?
I said mobile Odin, i.e. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899
Anyway, if you're only wanting to remove the triangle, you should be able to just use TriangleAway: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114
Oke clear, i use Odin Mobile because trangle away doesn't work with ICS
EDIT:
Flashed it with CWM it worked!!

This app can reset your flash counter and triangle on ICS builds.

My bad, i've tried it on Gingerbread and that did'nt work.
You're right it worked and counter is on 0, triangle was already gone.
I posted the zImage in the first post, maybe it will help some others.

I can flash it using Odin if it's a .tar file
I downloaded the latest recovery as .img file
Odin would not read it as I know
I used ''SGS3 International ToolKit v5.0'' to create flashable .tar file from the .img file.. but I got an error while flashing through Odin

I did that using 7-zip
compressed the .img file in .tar format, then flashed using Odin
thanks anyway
Does it really work with 7 zip ?

I tried using 7zip to create a tar out of my img file and tried to flash it via Odin, but Odin crashed every time I tried doing so. What where your steps? I'm trying to create a tar file from a cwm recovery.img
Cheers

Just flash the.img with mobile Odin
Got it somewhat randomly
I tried it again with several tar files (7zip, SGS III Toolbox, Mskip's provided tar file) but this time odin did not crash, it just did not do anything. Tried Odin3 1.85 then Odin3 3.07 but it wouldn't work, then i found this other Odin called "Odin3 0.07 for SGS III" and tried again with the file created with Toolbox and it worked! I then noticed the only difference in Settings with this other Odin was, that F. time-reset was ticked. Could that be the reason it worked ?
Cheers
So there's still no way of installing a recovery with fastboot.. ? Just making sure.
And from where do I get Odin?
edit: Well I guess I have my answer:
[...]>>Even for flashing the custom recovery like Clockworkmod recovery or TWRP recovery you will need this tool. androidlegend.com/odin-multi-downloader
can anyone c/d?
Just Download Rashr from the PS and flash CWM recovery.img with it and enjoy

Try using odin to flash this file. I used Odin 3.07 Unzip with 7Zip to a familair location. put the tar file in PDA slot and flash with your phone in ODIN Mode. Hope this helps. seen was a old post but thought someone else might need it as well.

Hi mate!
How do I flash a custom recovery like TWRP on this OC1? I want to flash other Touchwiz ROMs. Thanks for your great work..
I am now on OC1. How do I root it?

There's no custom recovery options if you're on OC1 bootloader, but you do have options for root/flashing. OC1 is rootable with KingRoot on the desktop. If you want to flash roms from there (or xposed), you need to use FlashFire.
Thanks for providing this. I was rooted but I wanted to flash the latest stock firmware that would allow me to root again if I change my mind. I attempted to download OC1 from Sammobile but it was taking way too long. In the meantime while waiting for the download I found this post. I downloaded it here, flashed it and went through the initial setup of my phone. At this time the file is still downloading from Sammobile. I'm letting it to continue just to see how long it takes.
Can you post the pit file?
This is what it should look like: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23269279319199111 You should be able to take the .tar.md5 file and unzip it using 7-zip and pull out the .pit file. You'll need to unzip the tar.md5 anyway so you can get to the PDA(or AP) file.
