Hi guys! This is my first tutorial...English is not my mother language so please don't scream!!! First of all I've tried the method below, so it works!
1. Visit play Google and install Terminal Emulator.
2. Your phone must be rooted! Save the attachment
3. Copy the image file at the root of the sd card.
4.Open terminal Emulator and type the following commands.
su (press Enter)
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 bs=4096 (press Enter)
Thats it...now type "Reboot recovery" without the quotes and you are ready!

why does it say to me no such file found? I have the file on sd card and I renamed it to recovery (recovery.img)
or flash with fastboot:
>CMD
>cd fastboot folder..
>tipe : fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
> enter
LG L7 have maybe no fastboot / test in Bootloader..

You must write the filename of the image...for example...p700_touch-recevery.img. Look the filename of the attachment...you must either write it as it is or you have to rename it to something sorter, and put into the command the exact name of your image file.
this stuff worked for me and my lg p705, you just need to unlock the bootloader first

Braway posted the following in his reset the flash counter thread :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1569206
"ok, simple guide:
requires that cwm is installed!
1. flash stock system, kernel, modem and so on (not recovery yet) through odin (or cwm, if you have that stuff as update.zip)
2. flash this reset through cwm to reset the counter (now you should have everything stock, except for recovery)
3. in cwm, now you can either flash a stock recovery using an update.zip (if you have it), OR follow this:
a) extract recovery.img from the odin stock recovery tar file
b) put it on your sdcard
c) boot to cwm
d) use adb to connect to cwm (adb shell)
e) in the cwm shell, use one of the following commands:
recovery.img on external sdcard:
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22
recovery.img on your internal sdcard:
Code:
dd if=/emmc/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22
WARNING: a typo in that line could hard brick your phone!"
I posted a question on that thread but then thought maybe this was a more reasonable/appropriate place for it.
How do I get the recovery update.zip?
I have followed the first two steps and they worked like a champ, flash counter is reset and all is good on that front. As I said in his thread ADB is not my friend, it kinda intimidates me a little (I have used it a time or two on my HTC EVO 3D, but still I dont really like it). And Braway's caveat about a typo possibly hard bricking the phone makes that even worse. If there is a way to just flash a .zip, well that really is more my speed.
So my question is, does anyone already have the recovery update.zip he spoke of? If so would you please share it? If it is easy to make could you please give me (extremely detailed) instructions. I did extract the recovery.img from the stock .tar http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506330, but I have no idea whatsoever on how to turn that into a update.zip.
Any help is much appreciated!

Yeah I have CWM, thats the problem. I guess I should have put that in the OP. I am wanting to get rid of CWM so I can return the phone. Thanks for the help!
Edit:Sorry I wasn't clear in the OP. That .zip you linked was the reset the flash counter zip, I have already done that (works great!) but now I need to remove CWM. According to the instructions posted by Braway (see OP) I need to flash the recovery via an update.zip to do that (well thats the way I am reading it...could be wrong on that point too I guess
Put the stock recovery in /sdcard (root directory of internal SD), boot into Android and connect via adb. Enter the following command:
Code:
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22
This will flash stock recovery, overwriting CWM. If you copy and paste the command, there's no danger in a typo bricking your phone.

And the noob says>>>> So I took your advice and decided to suck it up and use adb and of course, because adb hates me, it failed. So step by step this is what I did if anyone would be so kind as to tell me where i went wrong. Screen shot included.
1.put recovery.img on internal (and external just for grins) sdcard
2.made sure usb debugging was on.
3.plugged phone into comp w/usb
4.started adb on comp using the following
C:\users\myname> cd C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools> adb.exe
5.After adb started I pasted the following from Tenderchckn
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22
Thanks again...
Try booting into CWM instead, then launch adb, and run the same command. If that doesn't work for some reason, enter "adb shell" first, and you should have a "$" prompt. Then enter "adb shell dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22".
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23499670&postcount=133 Followed step by step and it worked, doh!
Avoided this because I didn't want to use adb, then forgot about it. Then found it again and it worked like a champ. Thanks for the help now please delete thread. Lol
I was very happy when Clockworkmod started officially supporting all versions of the GS3, but I was unsure how to install the Touch recovery version from the clockworkmod website. After doing some digging, I finally found the solution.
To do this you will need three things:
-The Clockworkmod Touch Recovery Image for your device at the clockworkmod website (Make sure you get the right one!).
-ADB platform tools that come with Android SDK Manager
-A Computer
1: Compile all of your platform tools (including ADB) and the recovery image into a folder.
2: Rename the recovery image to recovery.img. Ex: recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.9-d2spr.img to recovery.img
3:Within the folder, make sure no files are selected, then hold shift and right click somewhere within the folder and choose "open command window here"
4: Run "adb push recovery.img /sdcard/recovery.img"
5: Then run "adb shell", and after that run "su"
6: Then run "dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery".
7: And after the last command has finished, run "reboot recovery".
Congratulations! You have just installed the Clockworkmod Touch Recovery for free and saved yourself $2.
I have tested this method twice and it has worked both times.

Have you tried replacing recovery.img inside a flashable internal recovery zip file (e.g., flashable_CWM_6.0.2.9.zip from Succulent's repo http://goo.im/devs/succulent/acclaim/recovery) with 6.0.4.3+ (renamed to recovery.img before inserted into the zip file), then flashing the resulting zip file with SD-based recovery?
Yes, i tried that, and after i did, CWM would not load. I had to then use the Nook Tablet Recovery Flasher app that has been around this for a while, to revert the changes back to 5.0.x.x (since thats the default version installed by that app). Any other suggestions? Thanks for the answer tho.
Others have reported same problem with loading CWM v6.0.4.3, but found that TWRP v2.6.3.1 works (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47688848&postcount=19). You can obtain a copy of TWRP v2.6.3.1 .img binary for the NT from http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/acclaim/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-acclaim.img and should be able to flash it the same way I had described above.
There is a way to flash the recovery img file from within a terminal on the nook itself. I did that 2 days ago with the most recent TWRP (well, most recent I could find).
Save it to your /sdcard (name it cwm.img for this example)
Open a terminal emulator (download one if you don't have one) and type su <enter> then enter the following (make sure you enter it exactly, especially the last part or you'll end up flashing to the wrong partition and hosing your nook):
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/cwm.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3
Hit enter, let it do its thing (should be fast), then reboot.
Note: I take no responsibility if this hoses your nook. If you're uncomfortable doing it, take the advice given above and replace the img file inside a working recovery zip.

I am very new to the android world, seeing as I am a recent iOS convert. However, I am still struggling with all the terminology and technicalities of android and require assistance (perhaps a lot! :cyclops.
I have managed to root my G2 (VERIZON MODEL) but am stuck there. I do not know how to install CWM or TWRP, nor install any custom ROMs like CM or Gummy.
So will anyone be kind enough to guide me through the process? Thank you.
P.S.
I have searched through the threads in this forum regarding installing custom ROMs and am still confused.

first download twrp for your device, http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/g2vzw/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-g2vzw.zip
plug the phone to the computer, make sure u have usb debugging on in developer settings of phone
since you are already rooted, place that file recovery img to the IOROOT folder.
once done, rename the recovery file to recovery.img
one done, CONTROL + SHIFT + RIGHT CLICK, OPEN COMMAND PROMPT HERE
then type this
adb push recovery.img /data/local/tmp/recovery.img
adb shell
(IF YOU DONT SEE A # prompt on your phone, type su in the command prompt to get it then allow it on phone. once thats done then contine onto next step blow.)
cd /data/local/tmp
dd if=/data/local/tmp/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
exit
adb reboot recovery
once its complet just reboot the phone and you should have twrp installed!
once twrp is installed, you can dl the verizon version of paranoid android here

and
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23252070760973599
dl the file, drag the files to the phone, dont place into any folder though.
to install, go to the ioroot folder again, control shift right click open prompt again, type adb reboot recovery
phone should reboot to recovery, go to settings, then select USE RM-F instead of formatting, then go to wipe, advance, select dalvik cache, system, data, and cache. IMPORTANT DO NOT SELECT INTERNAL STORAGE!!!
then swipe to wipe
then go to install then install the paranoid android download first, once its installed, hit the back button on the botom right, then install the GAPPS, then reboot the device your done.
Or you could just download the recovery.img that u choose, and flash it using the app called "Flashify". Easiest way by far and works perfectly for me everytime, using both TWRP and CWM whenever I need.
Once you have that done, installing a ROM such as GUMMY is fairly simple since it usually has the instructions right there in the OP of the thread. Pretty straightforward.

So I take it that I put the "ioroot10" file into my phone over the USB, then extract the files of the TWRP file, then place the extracted TWRP file inside of the ioroot10 file? Also, I did the control+shift+right click, but there is not OPEN COMMAND PROMPT option. Sorry for all the questions..

no, you place the recovery.img to the ioroot10 folder, ioroot10 stays on your computer.
control + shift + right click = open command window here
Just use flashify its free n so much easier
the definition of open: “mkdir android ; cd android ; repo init -u git:// android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git ; repo sync ; make" gansta mic drop
Some people might be not able to flash boot.img file using flashtool or using adb(Like me :crying: showing error root required even i have rooted and unlocked bootloader wiht cwm installed)
So, i searched for new methods but none worked.Atlast I found one THIs one :laugh:
STEPS
1. Copy/move your.img file to internal sd of your phone.
2. Download and run the Terminal Emulator
3. Now, type the following commands-
after $ type
su (press enter) (terminal'll ask for superuser permission, grant it)
you'll see this
#
now type after #
dd (single space here) if=/sdcard/YOUR.img (single space here) of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9
press enter
you'll see 'some records in some records out etc etc'
Press Home key and reboot your phone and its done :laugh::laugh::laugh:
Or you can fastboot it?
(fastboot flash boot boot.img)
