[Recovery] Stock Odin Flashable

[s0xpan]

]So I was stuck in a hard place and needed a recovery fix and couldn't find one... I stumbled across an .Img file so u converted it to a .tar file and shall share in hopes that people who make the mistake as I did don't have to go the the grueling process of flashing all the way back to mk2 and lose everything that they currently had and starting over

Download = https://www.dropbox.com/s/mx1933wuc...short route to recover from such a situation.

Maybe this is very commendable, but maybe not. What phone do you have? What rom did you have to begin with? What firmware was this image file made from? Basically, you need to be much more specific if you're actually trying to help some other people.

Can you Be more Specific

Which recovery is this . I downloaded it and the file is only 10.5kb . Its a really small file .. also my bootloader is locked so if i flash this in odin . I most likely will get a fail or a paper weight ...

This is for the White AT&T Branded S4, i found the img file, converted it for .tar; i believe its the MK2 version, i was locked out of phone because of trying to flash a custom recovery because im experimentive; i flashed this and my phone booted back and i didnt lose anything...

Im personally running a rooted NC1 4.4.2 rom using Safestrap since the bootloader is locked.;;

.. pLEASE VERIFY WHICH VERSION THIS IS . ? YOU SAID IT MIGHT BE MK2 . CAN YOU FIND OUT FOR SURE
Im pretty sure this is in the wrong thread .. this should be in Q/A help and troubleshooting.. Be prepared for a bunch of PMS 'ers

.. No one will be able to use this file because it isnt labeled in the title .. SO MY ? IS ..WHAT IS THIS FILE PLEASE TITLE IT ..? SORRY MY CAPS LOCK IS STUCK ON MY COMPUTER..
I GUESS IT WOULD BE USEFUL FOR SOMETHING ..BUT NO ONE WILL KNOW WHAT IT IS UNLESS YOU TELL US ..YOU SAID YOU THINK IT MIGHT BE MK2 ???? WHY WOULD I FLASH SOMETHING THAT I DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT IT IS AND WHATS WORSE IS YOU DONT EVEN KNOW FOR SURE ..ITS A GOOD WAY TO BRICK SOMEONES BABY..DONT TAKE THIS THE WRONG WAY EITHER. I APPRECIATE ANY TOOLS I CAN PUT IN MY BOX ..THIS COULD BEA NICE THING TO HAVE ..

it's simply the mk2 stock recovery img; incase you tried to custom flash a recovery (which has been proven to fail) and the bootloader kicks you out (non-safestrap recovery like actual recovery recovery)

...i apologize for not being more specific.

i was in a jam at work when i tried to flash custom clockworkmod recovery to my main recovery via safestrap and got bootlooped due to our locked bootloader. I found the recovery.img file under some thread and i formatted it to work with odin; flashed it to my device an SGH-i337 and it allowed me to boot back up normally. so for me it was a safe haven, and im just trying to help others who tend to experiment even when told not to.

Right on ...Thanks man .. Yeah this will help .. I had it happen when falshing a rom and i lost safestrap and was stuck in a boot loop ..So this would be very helpful in that case ..I wish this would be for NB1 or NC1 ..Especially since there is a root method for 4.4 usinf towelroot
