Problem entering Stock Recovery

Tried running unrevoked to flash a new recovery and it ran into some problems. Now whenever I try to boot into recovery, my devices just returns to the fastboot screen. Essentially, my recovery is now missing. How do I reinstate my stock recovery? Even ROM Manager cannot get me into my stock recovery...

[Q] Need Help with Recovery!!

I have succesfully root my girlfriends slide and gained s-off thru Aplha . but i tried to flash cwm 2.5 thru fastboot like an idiot thinking this was the proper way of permanently flashing new recovery and now cannot get into recovery neither factory with triangle or cwm. How do i fix this or will i have to unroot bascially and start over to get the recovery .img again? Also, who can help with permanently flashing cw recovery so that i do not have to use the update.zip method.?

Did you try to fastboot flash the update.zip? That's not good, you should've flashed the cw2.5 .img file. No, you don't have to reroot or res-off, but download the .img file for the latest clockwork recovery on koush's website, for our device. Then, on your computer, while in fastboot mode and plugged into usb, type
fastboot flash recovery filename.img
obviously replacing filename.img with the actual file name/location.

Flash "Temporary" CWR, becomes Permanent?

After following Droid-Life.com's guide on unlocking the bootloader, and then rooting the phone, after installing Rom Manager and flashing CWR through the manager, the recovery truly becomes permanent.
This causes problems because if I try to install an OTA update I get the red error because I'm not running stock recovery.
I guess my question is, is there a stock recovery.img that I'm able to flash through fastboot in order to get rid of CWR and get back stock recovery? Thanks!

If you can't follow my train of thought: When I want to root, I need to install SU.zip through CWR
push su.zip thru adb to phone > flash CWR "temporarily" > install su.zip > reboot
But the problem is, the next time I try rebooting to recovery, I get CWR, not stock recovery like I wanted. And that stock-recovery.p file is still on my phone and alive.

Shortly after posting, I just answered my own question. I downloaded the stock images from Google, found the recovery.img image in there, simply flashed with ADB and worked great. Thanks for your attention

I can't seem to root

I went back to odin to get a fresh of my gs3. I did the 4.1.1 update and now i have an issue.
I can't seem to install any recovery on my samsung galaxy s3 in order to root it.
I have tried just about all the downloadable clockworks out there and even tried twrp...its no go. I do not know why this is happening because I never had this problem before when rerooting my gs3.
Any one faced this before? suggestion?

You need to flash recovery via odin.
If you want just flash root66 lastest firmware which is in rooted version too.

Stock recovery is overwriting your custom recovery. Need to access recovery mode after you flash, but before the device can boot (so that the custom recovery can disable to automatic flashing script).

I am not quite sure what you are saying here about needing to access recovery mode after I flash...I flash the clockwork recovery mode and when i go to access it, i only see the stock.

I i reflashed odin again and decided to root using 4.0.4 ics...now it worked..I guess we can't flash over 4.1.1 anymore?
anyway, thank you both ^.^

The problem is with the newer roms, when your phone boots, your custom recovery is overwritten with stock recovery. This operation is done with a script that comes with the newer stock firmwares - it's built into the startup procedure. So when you flash a custom recovery with Odin, you need to drop to recovery mode before the phone ever gets a chance to boot into the OS, so that the custom recovery can disable this script. If the phone boots, it will wipe out your recovery. Do you understand now?

Oh now that make a lot of sense. So I was not suppose to reboot before going into recovery with 4.1.1...will keep that in mind next time!

Even though you're rooted, flash the 4.1 root66 in Odin. You don't want to go from ICS to JB via recovery, it doesn't flash all partitions. After you flash root66 in Odin, you will already be rooted. Then you can just flash a custom recovery.

If I remember correctly you can still root normally on the later builds, you just have to pop out you battery after you flash, don't let it auto-reboot, then you can put the battery back in and get to clockwork recovery.

How To Flash Custom Recovery for Androidone

So, I was attempting to root my phone(CanvasA1- 4GB) today running stock android marshmallow(6.0.1) , I successfully unlocked the boot loader in fastboot using adb, after which I flashed TWRP recovery, Which was successful but then, When I rebooted into recovery, I saw my old stock google's recovery running , I tried 2-3 more times flashing the recovery in fastboot but the probem was still the same :crying:. Then I came to know that we have to flash a special type of boot img of some 17.5mb approx, When I attempted to flash this "boot" image, I received an error saying file size too large, Hence I couldn't flash it, I am still running the stock recovery, With my bootloader unlocked, I need to root my phone, Please help someone, Thanks in advance .

Same here. I unlocked the bootloader successfully and flashed TWRP recovery. But it shows system/default recovery only. Now stuck in bootloop.
Tried clearing cache/date etc. nothing worked. Don't know what to do.
