Hey there,
I need help for flashing the CWM Touch recovery as image I downloaded from CWM homepage.
My P7500 is rooted and still working with CWM recovery. Now I want to update to the touch version but I can only install as zip via CWM or as md5 (or others) via Odin but not as img.
How is it to flash?
Regards.....

Make a nandroid...then flash the zip in recovery. Then pick reboot recovery and enjoy
There are 3 ways to flash a recovery, depending on what type it is.
1. If it is a recovery.zip type, just flash it in recovery like any other zip file.
2. If it is a .tar.md5 or .tar file, flash it in Odin.
3. If it is a img file, rename it to recovery.img, and copy it to the root of your SD card, in terminal or adb shell, do this command:
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2
If you want to flash as img but the file is zip or .tar.md5, simply open up the zip file and extract the img file inside. For .tar.md5, rename it to .tar first, and extract it. The img file is inside too.

The terminal mode was the right one.
Thanks for all answers.
Wish you all a merry Christmas.

There are two links for each color. Click the first link (img) not the second link (zip).

Nope, flash through fastboot mode. Copy .img file to fastboot folder and open cmd there, then type : fastboot flash boot boot.img ( boot.img is the name of .img file )
Kernel on the latest CM rom (137) is provided in .zip file. Remember that this kernel (boot.img) is flashed last, after wiping & installing Rom successfully

I want to get a CWM recovery from a kernel and push into my phone, how do i do that? I think i should find the recovery.img from the kernel and the push with fastboot using "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img", am i right?
But where is the recovery.img located?

No you're not able to use kernel's recovery ( CWM ) via pulling method , simply can't it's different !
But if you're curious where does it locate ? Then i'll tell , the cwm located in kernel's ramdisk in /sbin folder
But there's no way to get it from a kernel? I'm asking because i can't find CWM recovery 5.0.2.7 FULL by Doomlord anywhere and i know a kernel that have it.

Extract the boot.img which has the wanted recovery with kernel kitchen... Recovery is there in ramdisk/sbin as recovery.cpio...

Hello. I have d605 with 20g and root via kingroot. I want flash varcains CWM. But when i execute loki flash, it says loki aboot version does not match device and fails. When i try flash zip for flash from other recovery - try flash via stock 3e recovery, it says instalaion aborted and error 255. So i want flash it via app Flashify, but its risk. Did someone already tried it? And how to do it? Select flash zip (in flashify) and select cwm*.zip or unpack recovery.img and select flash recovery (in flashify) and put unpacked recovery img?
PS it can be also twrp, i want just working recovery for flash CM11
Thanks for help.

Which means you have to extract recovery.img from the zip file and flash recovery.img via flashify.
When I select flaah recovery in Flashify and select CWM .zip, it says i have to select file with .img file. And in that zip is the recovery.img file.

I think I explained it in a fairly simple way. You need the .img file, NOT THE .ZIP file.
It doesnt work . I unpacked recovery.img from cwm.zip. Then opened Flashify and selected recovery flash, and put unpacked recovery.img (before it i make recovery backup). It said flash successful and then i used reboot recovery. But it shows only black screen with text like "fastboot mode stared udf start". I must remove battery and put back, then it normal booted to android... Reboot to recovery always open the black screen with that text and is needed battery remove (fixed via recovery restore from backup in flashify, then reboot recovery opens stock 3e recov.)
Please What now? Thx
