Reboot your device into bootloader mode.
Download a recovery of your choice, and a tool called fastboot.
Put the *.img file of your recovery (preferably TWRP 2.7.1.0) in the same folder as fastboot.
Open cmd.exe in the folder, enter: fastboot flash recovery [filename].img
You're set.

If you'd like to use any custom ROM, device rooting becomes important!

Do as above, personally I prefer ClockWork Mod 6.0.4.7-falcon, but that's merely a particular that is not important.

Once in bootloader,

Hold left shift, right click on folder (or empty space inside the folder) were recovery.img (XXXX.img) is and create a .bat (batch file)



COPY COPY COPY COPY COPY COPY below

::Set our default parameters
@ECHO off

echo. This is a Full Restore and will completely
echo. wipe your phone to stock you will lose
echo. all files on the device
echo. ---------------------------------------------
pause
SET fastboot=fastboot.exe
%fastboot% flash recovery 6047falcon.img - RENAME
pause

COPY COPY COPY COPY COPY COPY above


copy this (ensure you have installed everything else ADB Driver & have fastboot.exe, AdbWinUsbApi.dll, AdbWinApi.dll in the folder)

Rename the above recovery to whatever yours is called,

Run batch file, mine always complains that partition size is a mismatch, nonetheless it works fluidly.

Ignore full restore text, this bat / script file will not wipe anything

Tried TWRP Recovery before My phone did not switch on, 2wice, justr flashed again, so much better than ClockWorkMod Recovery!
