That is recovery. It is the stock recovery. You can only make images with custom recovery like twrp. You have to install twrp recovery with odin.
Are you trying to make a backup of your system? You can only do any of that in custom recovery. I don't understand what you mean by "make a recovery image". It doesn't mean the same thing as it does in Windows. Making a recovery image in Android is making a copy of the recovery system itself in image form, or creating one.
Those options you see on screen, that IS Android stock recovery. It's options are limited.
I think when you say you want to make a recovery image, you really mean you want to create a nandroid backup of your system. Which is a sort of " snapshot" of your system right now that can be restored later to go back to that point.
yes, you are correct. i am trying to make a nandroid back up. I have installed clockwork rom manager and twrp from the android market, maybe i need to install it using odin. I will look for a tutorial on that. I want to try marshmallow and a couple of other roms, but i want to make sure i have a good backup ya know. Thank you for the reply

Rom manager and twrp manager are just apps. They can only install the actual recovery system on a rooted device. If not rooted, you must use odin.
Download odin on your PC. Then download a .tar of twrp recovery from their site twrp.me
Use odin to flash twrp onto your phone.

I flashed CWM via Odin and rebooted into Recovery Mode, but there is no option to flash a mod or tar from internal storage. I have 5 options in my CWM menu and they are as follows.
reboot system now
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
I have the mods loaded on the root of my internal storage, but CWM wont let me get to them.
I tried flashing a stock recovery via Odin, failed.
I can turn on my phone and it works just fine, but I cannot get CWM to let me root the phone.
Any help?

Are you sure you flashd clockwork mod and not stock? It sounds like stock recovery is what you have. try flashing this in
Odin https://dl.dropbox.com/u/16085428/CWM-6.0.1.2/recovery.tar.md5
Sounds like stock recovery to me not clockwork recovery

This kind of happened to me, I have rooted plenty of devices prior to my SG3 and with CWM flashed through Odin 3.04 (Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time) checked. Everything passed as it should have and phone reboots normally. Upon powering down i went into recovery finding the stock recovery still there, NOT CWM's recovery.
Doing some research I found that if you check ONLY F. Reset Time and NOT Auto Reboot you will flash the device with a PASS and then the Download mode screen will stay on the device. Making sure that you have the USB cable removed at this point remove the battery. Replace the battery and reboot into recovery mode and you will see that your phone goes into Clockworkmod Recovery! BUT you only get this once, you have to repeat the steps using ODIN to flash CWM every time you want to use it, what a pain in the butt, especially if you do not have Triangle Away. I belive this is because of the new OTA update from Sprint (so I've heard).
Now i have the same kind of issue because apparently when i run CWM's ROM manager it says i have no CWM recovery installed after i have done it counless times.
Has anyone ran into this use as well? OP is this kind of the same issue you have? at the top of your Recovery screen it will tell you clear as day if you are using the stock recovery or CWM.
I say take the guessing out of it...Use TWRP
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1809307
So after i flashed a rom on my P5200 i always bootloop to TWRP
and i tried to wipe all data but no use
so please someone help me
oh and i can access download mode
TWRP causes problems...at least it did mine.. Restore the backup (hopefully you made one) with TWRP and flash a different recovery, like clockwork mod (CWM).

i did not do a backup !!!
what should i do?
Power it off completely boot up in Download mode. Then connect it to the PC and use Odin to flash CWM on it.
For future reference, always make a backup before you do ANYTHING.

2 things indicate that your system partition is messed up.
Only boots to recovery
CWM ask to flash root
CWM will ask to flash root, only if it can't find the "root" files in the system partition. If it asks every time, then it isn't able to properly install those root files for some reason.
Download the stock firmware from sammobile.com.
Do a format of your system and data partitions in recovery.
Then, boot into download mode and use Odin to reflash the stock firmware.

Hi,
i did, on reflash with CWM same story all over,
im currently flashed with TWRP and everything is fine,
cannot however use CWM (unless try to flash CWM over TWRP)
Basically I'm stuck. Phone won't boot.....I can get to the white screen/bootloader.
It had a custom recovery on it (TWRP) so wonuldn't update....I followed a video to put the stock recovery on it.
I've downloaded a few files, stock recovery, stock boot etc.....put on sd card but no joy. It says reading sd card.....then "no image or wrong image"
In all honesty i'm so lost...Has anyone ever over come this???

What are you trying to do in the first place?
If you're going to flash a custom rom, place the rom in your SD card or internal storage, do a full wipe and install the rom.
If you're returning to stock for OTA, restore your nandroid backup (system, kernel etc) after which flash your stock recovery and do a reset from settings than search for OTA.
If you can't boot into recovery, flash the latest TWRP on your phone through fastboot. Use the commands: fastboot flash boot boot.img

It had a custom recovery on it Team win recovery project......which was stopping the software from updating.
So tried to put the stock recovery back on it.
At the moment I don't think its corresponding properly with my laptop......in the fastboot menu it does come up "fastboot usb" Drivers are installed too
But when trying to send it commands via command prompt it keeps saying device not found.
I'm wondering if it has deleted to operating system , as on the fastboot menu next to " OS - it says nothing "
Sorry for being brief....this is the first time i've ever come across all this stuff
I was trying to get a custom ROM on here with TWRP and I failed and soft bricked it. I managed to get it to get to download mode and used odin to reflash the stock image, but now it won't boot past the Samsung logo. I've tried factory reset, reflashing with odin, and cache clearing, but it still won't go past the logo. I've looked in other threads here, but all I've seen are others arguing with each other about what to do.
ok, download twrp (or any other Custom Recovery you like) and put your tablet in download mode. after that go to Odion and selec the custom recovery file in the PDA section(i recomend uncheck auto reboot because in some cases this action revert the custom recovery). When Odion end the flash turn the table and make the buttom combination to get in recovery, in samsung tablets usually is VolmUp+Power+HomeButton. And finally found a custom rom that you like and flash it! before flash roms make sure you make a full wipe and a full backup! Hope this work for you.
