[Tool] Flashable Zip Recoveries

This is for those times when you want to change your recovery but don't have access to a desktop. You need to already have a custom recovery installed otherwise you can't flash the zip (duh!).
Here are some common recoveries in flashable form:
Stock_Optimus_V_Recovery.zip
aospCWMod-VM670-20110531_Recovery.zip
CWM_3.0.2.4_Recovery.zip
Thunderc-v-1.2.0-GNM_Recovery.zip
Xionia_CWMA_12518.4_VM_Recovery.zip
Xionia_CWMA_12518.4_Recovery.zip (Optimus S)
Xionia_CWMA_12518.6_Recovery.zip (Optimus S)
You don't need to do anything special for these. Flash them and your recovery will be changed.
If you want to flash a recovery not listed above using your current recovery, use the following directions:
Make sure your recovery image is not corrupt before using this.
Rename your recovery of choice to vrecovery.img
Place vrecovery.img in the root of your micro SD card
Place Flash_vrecovery.zip anywhere on the micro SD card
Reboot into your custom recovery and flash the zip
Enjoy!

This is fantastic! Thank you.

Wicked Love it! Thanks Dude

is there a way to flash a custom recovery from the stock recovery, my brother flashed the wrong clockwork on his optimus v and now we can't install roms and it currently doesn't have a rom on it. I managed somehow to get the original recovery on the device and I can get adb to connect to it and windows to recognise the device. any ideas?

thanks xda thanks my optimos was brick n now its work is a life thanks ..im use this Stock_Optimus_V_Recovery.zip
aospCWMod-VM670-20110531_Recovery.zip grasias grasiasssssssssssssssss

Not sure if you're comfortable adding it to the list yet, but the latest recovery used with ROM Manager, ClockworkMod 3.2xx (not sure of the final digits), does work on the Optimus V now, thanks to koush.

Is there an easy was to download the img? Can you link me? It's really simple to add it, but isn't this counter to the whole idea of rom manager?

I believe (never installed the thing though) than newer editions of cwm use the camera button to select.
at least that's what I've read.

Omg I been having the same issue!!! I cannot make it select an option..any suggestions???

I use the AOSP ROM (dead rom). For some reason, all the IHO ROMS keep rebooting me after installing all my apps. I also use the Xionia recovery and the Xionia 010-anykernel kernel. With that kernel though, your home key and menu key will be switched, but well worth it.

I use the asopCWMod recovery v3.0.2.4 I have the same problem with all the IHO builds, but I found that if I wait till just when all the apps have loaded and all the app icons are visable, then hit a lock screen widget and turn the screen off(wait 5min). When I turn the screen on and unlock everything works great.
I have to do this with every reboot,but it works.

Anyone have this recovery?
Sorry to bring up an old thread, but all the links for the recoveries in the first post are dead.
Would anyone happen to have Xionia_CWMA_12518.4_VM_Recovery.zip?
I have the .img version of it, but I'm not familiar with adb.
If anyone could help, I'd greatly appreciate it.

that's a lot of formatting in your post ;p
on the quick side:
so, my kitkat rom thread and twrp (both in my signature) still have live links to Google drive.
but...
kitkat pretty much requires setting up a sacrificial sd card with that twrp, which you can't remove from the phone. higher speed is better for the card.
that twrp has a kernel which reverses system and userdata, so even if you put it in internal mode, you have to modify updater-scripts to swap all mentions of system and userdata for it to work. with anything I didn't build, like anything pre-kitkat.
I have harmonia (important to set up the phone for activation) but if it's like my Evo 3d, you'll have to manually set the date back to 2019 or whenever the security certificate expired to get the activation app too connect or it'll just error out.
I also have a zip of harmonia I "fixed" to work with that twrp.
somewhere I also have bobzhome GB. and I think a reversed zip of that too.
I might even have older custom recoveries.
if you search around Google you might find the bobzhome rom stashed away downloadable, I was still able to grab it within the last year.
after a while I'll dig and upload stuff to my gdrive.
it sucks that Android file host deleted all my OV files though. I had a lot there.

Yet another jb guide.

1. you have to be rooted and on STOCK ZV9. the easiest way in my option is to lgnpst. here is a guide http://pastebin.com/g8hXBaaA
use this v9 tot file instead of the v7 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2091883&highlight=tot
2. you need to root v9 with this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2050582
3. you need to download the update zip and rename it update.zip. http://d-h.st/0a9
4. you need to move update.zip to /cache using a file explorer (this is why you need root)
5. reboot into stock recovery. get into stock recovery by holding vol down+ home button+ power button until captive lights flash then release.
for some people programs such as romtoolbox's rebooter works and for others it doesnt but you can try.
6. choose "apply update from cache." then "update.zip"
7. you are now running JB.
8. restore root by using root keeper
9. if you want to reroot use the same method for zv9 above
Congrats, you have rooted jellybean!
LASTLY! Im not responsible for what you do to your phone!!!

Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium

so i made an actual guide because i did this in the car since kc removed his at the time.
here is the updated version which shouldn't cause a brick except for a few that make a mistake here or there.

Noob Question about this guide
First of all, thank you all for what you do for the Android community
I am obviously a noob, so please bear with me.
I recently used engine95's guide to root and unlock my Sprint LG Optimus G. It was simple and worked perfectly. I have not yet had a chance to attempt flashing any rom's and just noticed that I can actually have Jelly Bean now. So, I am rooted and unlocked. I have recently downloaded Titanium Backup, FreeGee, ROM Manager, Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper, and ES File Explorer. I chose TWRP during the unlock procedure with FreeGee. I am now running Titanium Backup on everything (seems to be stuck at 96% with YouTube).
I am about to run through javskies guide to flashing JB (this guide just made more sense to me). I am hoping Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper will keep me from having to root again after the update, but if not, I think I can handle rooting again.
My main questions are:
1) I noticed something in another post about uninstalling FreeGee due to its current incompatibility with JB. Is this correct?
2) Looking at step 4 of javskies guide
4. you need to move update.zip to /cache using a file explorer (this is why you need root)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
, I noticed that I do not see a file named 'cache' either when using ES File Explorer or Windows Explorer. (I haven't figured out how to paste a screenshot into a post, so I attached a JPEG screenshot.)
3) Because I did not see the /cache folder, I looked at the Flashing Guide and now I am even more confused because the steps for
ROM update without SDcard
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
seem a bit out of my leauge...or maybe I am being lazy.
4) How would you all handle a wife/significant other who wants to kill me for spending hours on end reading through posts?
Honestly, if I can grasp how to manage the .zip file correctly in this procedure, I am sure I will be fine.
Because I know it matters...quick thanks to javskies, engine95, fiddy619, and kc_exactly for (unknowingly) getting me this far. Also to _Epic, who apparently is losing his patience with Android illiterates, like myself
Good grief, I hope this post ends up looking right...it is my very first time posting...(just noticed the 'preview' button.)
Thanks guys!

Cache is a folder in the root directory. That is the very bottom of directories. If your rooted you will see it. Put the file there.
And freegee is not compatible for the jelly bean update. So, you are correct to remove it. It will cause a soft brick.
The app is safe just sitting there. But if you run it after the update you will have problems. So, I would remove it for now. Out of sight, out of mind.
Part of the steps to fix the soft brick will be too format the whole phone. So, remove it. The creator of the app is a very active member here on xda. He is working on a fix. Just check back on xda. We will all know when it is fixed.
And it doesn't bother me what guide you use. If you read the bottom of my guide it is basically the same as this one.
I am not a hater. I like to help everyone. There is no competition.
The update process is confusing for new people. There is no way around it. Just follow the steps and you will be fine.

As for the wife. Just say what we all do.
"Honey, I am sorry, I have to fix my phone."
Or
"Hey, one sec, I have to fix my phone"
Basically, any combination of something like that usually works.

Also just a heads up, after u download esfile explorer, u need to go to settings and way towards the bottom there r root settings. Make sure u have the appropriate options checked so u can back out of your sdcard folder. Super user will ask u to grant permission once u check the first option. Grant it. That way u can get to that cache folder that you need.

This guide worked well for me - I'm now ZVB stock rooted (not unlocked but do have FreeGee bought and installed). The hardest part was getting recovery to boot

Thanks javskies, your guide worked perfectly. I'm now back to stock rooted ZVB.
I dont know why this guide has been lost in the forums. I coudnt find it until you helped me out javskies.
This guide is perfect for those who want stock zvb that have locked phones.

Actually, shelnutt had a way but he said there was also a risk of bricking my phone. I told him I couldnt because I dont have insurance nor do I have a backup phone. I will do it his way within time once I can get a backup phone. Hopefully, within two months.
He also said there were many people in the same situation that can't unlock phone. He's also trying to find the problem and work out a solution in the future.

I'm guessing he probably has a zip template that he uses frequently and this particular mod doesn't require anyything in the data folder. I do the same thing.

Tried installing both your files for Tab3 10.1 3G.
Both failed with error code 255. Not sure if it's a problem with my permissions or root. but Tab is rooted with bindroid and root zip. (CWM)
I will try and install manually - but haven't done it before. so i'll have to read up on it first
EDIT - Nope. tried installing normally through recovery and manually - both failed. I have all the settings set to unknown sources etc.

You may have root, but your not on a deodexed rom... so this would fail.
Also, the recovery i made is a quick solution for us to get root.
It is not made from the source-code it is suppose to be, but givvin us root for now.
Thats why it fails on some permissions while flashing zips.... I/we are working on it...
For now there can not be tested on 10.1 gtab3 devices

It is not made from the source-code it is suppose to be, but givvin us root for now.
Thats why it fails on some permissions while flashing zips.... I/we are working on it...
For now there can not be tested on 10.1 gtab3 devices

all that we need are the .odex files and original jar/apks correct...if so i have attached another zip below that will also still need to be installed manually apparently

exactly what happenned?
did u manually place the files in the there proper locations and remember to set permissions to "rw-r--r--" (there are a total of 10 files u would have to do this on)...if u did in fact set this correctly what were the results? Did u read the post above and remember to uncheck then recheck the multiwindow option in "settings-display" (probably the problem) if so at WORSE case u should have received a flashbar force close or some sort of other sign

Thanks, THEDEVIOUS1, for taking a stab at this!
I tried the deodexed mod on Infamous. I tried copying the files to system using Root Explorer, but it went into a bootloop before all of them could be copied. I then restored a backup of Infamous and tried flashing it. There were no multi-window options to be found under any of the display options, unfortunately.

i assumme you're using the 7 inch version which means u will NOT be able to install this manually through root explorer and will need to use the file manager provided in TWRP since the zip contains major system files which need to be replaced...flashing may not work at all so if u would like real results i would attempt the method i just suggested (proof of this is the fact that u should be able to use root explorer to copy ONLY the permissions files and that should be enough t to make the menu appear which means the zip is most likely broken...i have had this problem on my setup for a while but i havent been able to track it down)

Thanks for the quick reply.
I followed your suggestion (copying fikes using twrp file manager), but there is still no sign of multi-window in any of the display settings. I may be doing something wrong. I did change permissions using twrp file manager, but I did it before copying to the system folder. Let me know if it should be dine another way.

Latest korean LG G2 F320K11a firmware new hide navbar feature

There is a new firmware out that I'm running on my F320 now. Its F320K11a completely stock. However its a update.zip flash, so you need to install recovery and then flash it. I have flashed this over a F320S and L Model no problems. So its safe to say it will work on all F320's make a CWM backup first and place in on your hard drive just incase.
Changes include now in the menu nav settings you can now high the menu buttons for most apps.
Source and download
Its a 2.1GB download

Thanks for that my friend,we do need some love for our korean variants also lol
The download is 1.9gb for me and the name file is F320_11A_CUSTOM_ROM.rar
I hope im not downloading a wrong one...

But is this a Stock update from LG Korea or a custom rom ?

Yes the korean model needs some love, really its the best version with a removable battery and mircosd support
Its not a custom rom, I've installed its stock carrier F32oK Olleh firmware 11A, it just installed like a custom rom as its not a KDZ but a update.zip
You need the CWM touch mod apk installer here to install it. You should make a cwm backup to an external source before flashing the update zip. And later factory reset if your coming from F320L or F320S to stop and errors.

Not sure, which recovery are you using? I can test for you. If I install it I loose my mircosd card paths and can access my sd.

Open recovery,its ok tho i did it already now i need to see how it goes lol
There was no need of a clean set up tho,it s an otan so its supposed to go above any firmware.No problems or errors so far and i kept all my files and setting intact.

guys , i 've installed .11a from TWRP recovery , this is fully compatible .

Any tips on how you installed Open recovery? I tried to install it with the info here. When I reboot into recovery its a blank screen and if i connect a usb cable windows wants to format various drives

Looks like a nice feature but if the button's are hidden how do we go back or press menu ??

The latest K11C firmware leaked release dated 24th of Sept. Its an update.zip within the rar file so flash via twrp or cwm and remember to wipe/factory reset to stop any errors. (Always backup too)

[Q] custom ROM help with v5002d

Hey all,
Just got my Gpad 8.3 v50020d kitkat 4.4.2 yesterday. Trying to flash a CM ROM preferably, but having nothing but issues.
I was able to get TWRP 2.8 installed, and make a backup of stock. Have been able to wipe and restore no problems. But everytime I try to flash cm-11-20140910-INFECTED-v500 I get a failed error. Also, can't flash the KitKat gapps-kk-20140606.
Never had problems flashing custom ROMs on my ASUS tablet, galaxy S4, Hisense tablets, so a little guidance would be MUCH appreciated.
I must be overlooking something...please help all.
Thanks so much.
jt

V500 is very tricky tablet, i had issues too, but after few tries i was able to install slimrom, latest weekly build. The newest TWRP is a must, you can't install any ROM without it, so there is probably your problem. If not, try to wipe. First factory reset and then advanced wipe and check first 4 options I think. Flash ROM and it should work.
But I want to ask you - don't you have unmount SD issue? If not, try to monitor it after flashing ROM, it can appear and it's pain in the ass

Well I do know if you take the 4.4.2 OTA after purchase or you buy with 4.4.2 installed,
Its 10 times more of a pain to root/recovery/rom on 4.4.x base, it's a lot easier on 4.2.2 base.
As for TWRP I'm on 2.6.3.2 and never had any problems.

Appreciate the replies all.
After wiping again, I tried flashing CM 11.0 Nightlies and it worked without a hitch. Also flashed the same gapps zip but this time it worked. I don't know whats up, I was having external SD issues so I put the ROMs on internal storage as well.
Now that its all up and running, I have root,and no problems accessing external SD card. Also, knock on works as does my smart cover. Couldn't be happier. Incredible battery life and amazing speed.

probably the easiest way is using this TWRP Manager (ROOT) app from the Play store. It will allow you to install TWRP onto your rooted, unlocked bootloader device.
I did it a harder/longer way without the above app so try the TWRP Manager app first.
Good luck!

Just curious, has anybody confirmed that the TWRP manager app is compatible with the V500? Does it deal with the Loki exploit required for our tablet?

I would download the TWRP (for our device) of the xda thread to be honest,
And flash manually through a flashing app off Google Play (I use Flashify, but there a few on there)
In theory if it grabs the TWRP file for the V500 it would have the Loki patch in the recovery file, but I wouldn't take the chance just in case it grabs any random file lol
Manual is the best on the tablet itself, or do it through a PC and push the TWRP file through ADB to the recovery partition.
But now-a-days you just run the .bat files and it does all the mumbo jumbo for you and reboots straight to the recovery.
Hope all goes well!

I agree. Until somebody can confirm that this app works reliably with our tablet, I would go with the manual approach.

I can't remember all the details. But I'm pretty sure I put the 2.6 version of TWRP onto my internal storage, downloads folder, I think (I did have an external SD card installed too, but I can't remember where I put TWRP initially). Then installed it using the stock recovery...Once TWRP 2.6 was on there, I upgraded to 2.8. Then, made my stock backup and then flashed CM 11.

You're rooted right?
My device has an unlocked bootloader. Does yours say the same?
Which version of twrp are you trying to install?
Once above is done try using twrp manager in the play store.
Let me know how it goes.

How do I unlock the freaking bootloader? I have root and twrp but cant boot into it because of the locked bootloader

I am in the same boat. I have rooted my device and I can't get any further.
