uamdl recovery backup? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

Hello all.
I have been looking for a way to backup the recovery from the phone.
I have not yet rooted it but want to and then with still being rooted put back the stock recovery like I did on my s3 with a dd command.
Does anyone know where I can find that recovery and what partition the recovery is saved on?
thanks

I would like to know too before buying one myself.

Just use dd to extract it.

Plus I think chainfire cf auto root method retains the original recovery

I don't think someone elses nandroid would work for you. Try downloading this and flashing it.http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho....651.1 Stock - Rooted - Latest Supersonic OTA

Sorry for the double post, but are you wiping correctly? And what ROM are you trying to flash? Some roms recquire you to be partitioned

worked like a charm thank you very much

New to the S3 seems different than the S2

Guys some help. I been searching around the proper filer to root this phone but some of the links are old and not working.
Somebody need to get all of these together and make it a sticky on the development section.
I guess to root this is like rooting my s2. Flash recovery with odin and then flash the SU. But cant find it.
I want the latest recovery for odin the latest su and I want the stock ICS and JB roms with odin in case I do something bad and I need to flash that to unroot. and get it stock.
Can somebody point me out this. And please somebody make those files sticky so future members like me and old member would have everything handy and easy to find.
another thing. Do we flash radios here? On my s2 we could flash any kind of tmobile radios for better performance and data. Witch are the radios?
Another thing that I noticed when this phone came out is the people were loosing the IMEI number on their device how was that posible and what they do so I wont go through it
go into the dev section
The files you want are stickied already
Yes you can flash radios
Also, in the dev section

As far as I know backing up your efs does not preserve your imei you must set it in modem mode and write it to an app on your desktop. Easy as pie to do though and it's on the forum with a writeup

Thank you for your information. I have found several ways to root. 1 with odin like I used to do with the s2. and 2 with a odin stock rom and no tripping flash counter. Is that still an issue. Is there a way to reset the counter? I used to go back to stock all stock on my s2 and root several times before and that was never an issue! First time I see this about flash counter!.

Yeah tripping the flash counter is still an issue. basically it just keeps you from using all share an to watch movies from the media hub.
What I did when I fist got the phone was Odin root66 then downloaded goo and installed twrp via the app "not cwm"

[Q] Cannot boot to CWM

okay here is my issue. Long story short, the camera button no longer works on my Epic so i can't do a three finger reboot to recovery. i've tried just about everything i can to root the phone while on Froyo and while i can root it, i can't go any further as ROM Manager will not install under that platform. So i tried ODIN to GB but as we all know there is no way to root from there without being able to three finger to CWM. So after 3 days of searching and finding dead links etc i'm as a dead end myself as to what to try and was hoping someone can help me out.
thanks

You can download terminal emulator from Play Store
Then type
su(enter, allow it on superuser)
reboot recovery (enter)

Or use adb reboot recovery

this only seems to reboot me to the stock recovery though
There is a file you can delete so the recovery will stick....I will see if I can find the link and pull it up

Nevermind, you can just install a custom kernel like cleankernel and then flash cwm through odin and it will stick
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk 2
what would be the steps for that?
Go to download mode (power + 1) until comes android with yellow triangle say downloading
Connect to computer and open Odin
Download this CWM 5
And put in PDA section in Odin, uncheck reset time and check auto reboot
Click odin!
If you're not rooted,
Adb reboot recovery
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
ok this is what i did...
i odin back to SPH-D700-DG27-8Gb-REL.tar and victory_8G_100528.pit. Used one-click root to root the phone.Went back into download mode and loaded the CMW 5 file as stated. Rebooted and so far all good. I loaded terminal and ran SU then REBOOT RECOVERY, but i'm still going into factory recovery. Any other ideas?
http://db.tt/X1h34nQ4 flash that in odin then when it reboots flash cwm and it will stick.... all credit goes to toadlife, i just took his zimage from his cwm flashable and put it in a tar for flashing in odin

do i need to be rooted though? since i can't root GB using one-click

No, that will automatically root for you. And make sure you flash cwm through odin not rom manager

i tried running that zlimage file but it just hangs while installing in ODIN at KERNEL
Ok, that's my fault, give me 5 min to edit a complete stock odin file

thanks brotha' and i'll let you know how it goes!
keeps failing. not to sound noob but this does go in the PDA slot correct?
Yes, that's right. Extract the zimage from the first zip and see if odin will flash just a straight up zimage , I think it does but never tried. Again you need el30 or fc09

Yea, it's the file itself...i will make one that works when i get home

thanks man. i'll be waiting patiently...
One last try, do you have heimdall installed?...the terminal/cmd one. I believe there is one for windows as well as ubuntu. After you install it run heimdall flash -kernel --zimage

[Q] Can you Upgrade to 4.4 if your rooted with no recovery?

My girlfriend has an AT&T Note 2 running 4.1.2 that is rooted, but with no custom recovery.
Is there a way to get the update.zip put it on the root of the SD card and upgrade through the stock bootloader?
She doesn't want to start from scratch, just upgrade. Doesn't really matter if she loses root or not.

We're not getting the OTA update, I assume because it's rooted.
You can unroot it then do the update

What comes up when you hold volume up home and power? Cuz if you have don't have the stock recovery you won't get it
Sent from my GT-N7105 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
If you used CF auto root to gain the original root...then you have a modified stock recovery and OTA will fail...
You would need to push a stock image via Odin to restore the device to stock I believe...g
