how do i backup my stock recovery?
- Thread starter RENEGAD3
- Start date
Connect phone to PC, boot into bootloader mode and type fastboot boot name_of_recovery.img that'll just boot the custom recovery as opposed to flashing it, that way you can make a nandroid backup of all partitions including stock recovery.
The guys method of using recovery to backup recovery will only work on Philz… Not twrp as it does not always backup stock recovery properly. The proper way to backup stock recovery is..
1. Root your phone, which can be done by towel root or by just booting a recovery like he said,
fastboot boot twrporwhatever.img, then flash supersu
2. Boot phone that has stock recovery
3. adb shell
4. su "watch your phone to grant root adb access if you haven't ever done it"
5. dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p43 of=/sdcard/recovery.img
6. This will put flashable recovery.img on your internal sd card. Copy this and save it for later
7. "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" will get you back to stock recovery, "fastboot flash recovery twrporwhatever.img" to flash custom recovery.

Just a question
When restoring to stock.Should I flash just the recovery.img or I have to flash kernel.img etc files together with that??

Not exactly sure what you mean.
If you are just trying to restore stock recovery, than no you do not have to flash kernel.
If you are trying to restore stock ROM, you have to flash the whole ROM, not just the kernel.
Restoring stock recovery alone does not restore the stock ROM (that may be part of your confusion).
Thanks for clarifying.
I don't have a clear idea about flashing. I just read the instructions in the forum that during CWM flashing I would need those rom dumps and replace the recovery.img and misc.img with the one provided and also use parameter file or something. So I wanted to know about the failsafe to restore in case I mess-up. So I thought to restore I might need to do the same but now with my original recovery.img dump file.

Also I don't know what parameter file I should use during restoring. Sorry I am a newbie.

Its not clear to me what you're trying to do exactly, or what guide you are following (can you link it?).
Kinda sounds like you may be making it more complicated than it needs to be.
Or just use flashify after rooting.

After rooting your mobile install rashr
By this you can backup your stock recovery to your sdcard

What the heck is an Iball Slide? You have an HTC M8? If so, you should never be using any guides intended for other devices. Could cause your M8 permanent damage.
If your device is the IBall Slide, this forum section is specifically for the HTC M8. Likewise, don't do anything here that isn't specific to your device, except at your own risk.
Very confused with your steps. In step 1, I install custom recovery twrp and flash supersu? then in step 2, how can I boot up stock recovery while in the custom recovery? Did you mean I need to flash back to stock recovery? if so that should be step 2.
In step 1, you boot recovery without actually flashing it, using the indicated fastboot command. The TWRP file resides on your computer, so its sort of a "remote boot".
Does samsung work with fastboot command? when i use the fastboot command it said waiting for devices. The fastboot devices is empty here:
My phone is Samsung Galaxy Note 3 - SM 9005

I do not believe that Samsung devices have fastboot.
Thanks... any other way that I can backup my stock recovery.img without installing custom recovery like TWRP/CMW. The reason why I dont want to install this custom recovery is to prevent the Current Binary status to Custom. hmmm.. i have search al lot but mostly they said about using fastboot. unfortunately fastboot doesn't work on Samsung
m8, stock, s-on,rooted, 5.0.1, twrp2.8.6.1 latest, only dragon-fi sound mod and custom battery indicator mods installed.
made nandroid backup of rom via twrp before and after mods.
so i couldnt make stock recovery backup. can you share link and guide me , i seen the thread named ruu, stock recoveries,cids, etc, but i could not understand what exactly and only is for me, and now what should i do to get OTA if its available , if sense 7 comes then also i need to stock recovery for getting it? or its for only firmware updates?

You need the stock ROM and stock recovery in order to be able to install future OTAs (your phone is already up to date, so this would only be for future OTAs).
As long as you have a TWRP backup of the stock ROM without any changes to the /system partition (root is ok) you can just use that, instead of downloading a stock nandroid from the collection thread.
For stock recovery, you need 4.16.401 stock recovery.
