My bro has not long got a Dell streak.. but has no computer to hook it up to.
Is there any way round flashing with fastboot?
The phone is already rooted.. so I just need to flash the recovery.
Can handle some command line stuff if anyone knows how to do it.
Thanks.

Bump!
The phone IS ROOTED already... So if I can mount /system I can delete the install-recovery.sh script so the stock recovery won't reflash.
But Rom manager flashes recovery to the wrong place apparently.
Can anyone tell me if 'flash_image' will work
My bro wants a custom Rom bad... But no pc to get him started

Maybe with terminal emulator, and clockwork on your sd card... Not sure tho, search the forums.
Just a brain storm.... But could I modify the install-recovery.sh script to flash cwm?

If someone could upload the script from their phone... Id really appreciate it.
Thanks

Yes it can be done with terminal on streak just make sure you su.
I will post the script for you if i get time
Cool... I knew it was possible.

At a quick guess
Name the recovery something like recovery
copy the Recovery to the SD card
Make sure you have a terminal app on the phone
On the phone, Run the terminal application and type su press enter
Note that the terminal's text prompt will change from # to $
If it doesn't, then you haven't "rooted" the phone. Go back and try again!
In the Terminal, type
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
when its done reboot the phone
Thats off top of my head but i think its right
Important away from a computer for a few days and was wondering if there's a way to flash CWM recovery without a pc or any previous versions of CWM installed. I had the CWM at some point and now when i boot into recovery i have the stock Samsung recovery and can't flash anything......

I believe you can flash the img from terminal
Yes.
Assuming you're rooted, you should be able to move it to the right partition with a terminal emulator on your phone.

Sorry but im not familiar with using terminal.....could you post the steps i need to take? Thx in advance
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
typically it would go like this
assuming you have the recovery image in the root directory of the sdcard
open the terminal app
$
type 'su'
you should get the # prompt
then
# cd sdcard
# flash_image recovery recovery_image_name
give that a try

3 extract the flash_image
4 USING ROOT MANAGER OR ANY OTHER FILE MANAGER(THAT GIVES YOU ROOT ACCESS) PUT FLASH_IMAGE IN /SYSTEM/BIN ya change ots permission to rwxr-xr-x(thanka for rembering coodingdroid)

Yes and he forgot to mention that we need to set permissions, without setting permissions = no go
Code:
chmod 0777 /system/bin/flash_image
What do you mean by "3. Extract flash_image"?
It is a file, a script, isn't it?

Okay now I understand.
But without settings permissions in /system/bin/, /xbin/, /init.d the system won't run the script, as it hasn't any permissions to run it.

I know goo manager uses root permission to flash a recovery while the phone is on. So I was wondering if terminal emulator could do the same. I know this question is probably very noob-ish, but I'm curious.

You should be able to with root permission
You think you could enlighten me on the "how to"?

Yea its the same as when u do it via command prompt just do su at the start
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Place the recovery on the root of your sd card. Make sure its not in any folders. Rename the recovery img "recovery.img" without the quotes. Then open up terminal. Type "su" without the quotes. Then when you receive the # sign, then type this
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
(and press enter)
you will now get this
#
now type
reboot recovery
and you should boot into your recovery you just flashed.

Its cool man we all been there. But as om4 posted you should always give exact details on what it is your trying to do or wanting to do. That way you get the best feedback. Also you can use the method I posted above to flash the stock recovery. However if you type the "reboot recovery" command and boot into the stock recovery you will have to hard shut down via power button to exit/reboot I believe. Not a 100% sure as I haven't seen the stock recovery since I first got this phone.

make sure that the file is in the right directory. Just to make sure there is no misunderstanding, you did extract the image file from the archive I linked?

open platform-tools(or the folder where adb is found) shift + right click on any empty space, you will find "open command prompt here" press on it, then type ADB devices, if it is read, simply type " adb sideload " then drag and drop the rom zip into the command prompt. it will automatically write its location and prevent the spelling mistakes.
IF: ADB devices can't read your device try the following:
1-Try another usb port, if you tried 2.0 then try 3.0 and vice versa.
2- If you are on windows vista or above, open start menu and search for cmd, right click on it and run as administrator, however you will have to cd to the platform tools location, " cd C:\Android\sdk\platform-tools " then you type in adb devices should read your device fine now. however running cmd as admin prevents the drag and drop technique (atleast here on windows 8.1 it does) so you have to type in the location of your rom and rom name correctly, and dont forget the .zip

Since we have the stupid s-on, your choice of custom kernels is very limited and they make almost no difference, if you are on viper rom which is sense based, you can use the stock kernel (I THINK<<< Not sure) or insertcoin kernel's , but no they don't make any difference as far as i know. Try and see
