One-click recovery install worked like a charm! Thanks tucstwo for making it so easy for me!

[DVDDave]

Thank You !!!!!

[tucstwo]

updated to version 4, see change log. Will help those having problems with recovery sticking on reboot.

[Moth1996]

Will this one-click work on OSX? Any kind of terminal equivalent?

 

The unlock exploit I think will, but I do not know about this.

[MonkeyMouth]

V4 without a hitch. Good work!

[GillRigged]

tucstwo, Would you happen to have 2.4.4.0? Or maybe you could help me with this issue I'm having. In Mount I do not have several options. All I have is:

[] Unmount Data
[] Unmount Cache
[] Unmount SDCard

() Use external SD () Use internal SD

I figured it out on version 4. not sure about the theme flashing BUT...the original issue was that the script was only stoping /system/etc/install-recovery.sh and was ignoring recovery-from-boot.p (which I fixed in v4). Not sure what the themes are doing to these 2 issues, but that was the undermining cause.

hey man...how long should this take? it's been running for...10 min or so..and the screen keeps turning on and off my Maxx HD, but that's all that's happening...

[NattyBee]

nevermind.  I'm an idiot.

Shouldn't take more than 45 seconds or so once it's starts. This is unique for sure

nevermind. I'm an idiot.

oh derp, sorry. Didnt see this. silly man, lol

[tucstwo]

Ok so I decided I was gonna mess around and see if using this was possible in Ubuntu and it definitely is

 

Go into Developer Options and make sure USB Debugging is turned on.

Just download Tucstwo's zip in the OP and extract somewhere in Ubuntu and rename the folder an easy 1 word name like "tool." . (example, extracted to my Home folder in ubuntu or also known as "~" so my directory for the zip would be ~/tool)

 

Open Terminal in Ubuntu and navigate to wherever you extracted the zip file.

That's it. BINGO! TWRP installed manually via Terminal and Ubuntu

 

Now just because you're still in Terminal, just type "exit" and hit enter, then do it again. Now back again to your main directory, just type the following:

Now you're done. Your phone will reboot into TWRP and you'll be set to flash ROMs

 

NOTE:

This method was only tested on my RAZR HD. By you following these steps, you're assuming ALL responsibility for what happens after that!

Very nice stuff, gary. I found that this method works just fine with Linux. Should you want to use the "fastboot flash" method. You need to always remember to run fastboot commands as "sudo" or they won't go through. Just a tip

[Brenardo]

Is it possible to flash with terminal emulater? I have been thinking hard about trying it but I am a puss.

I am not talking about SS I mean the terminal emulator app. With commands and all.

Something like: "dd if=/FILE LOCATION/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13"

[tucstwo]

Yes, you have to use the dd if of method, fastboot method won't work in terminal emulator as you have to have the device booted up, obviously.

i knew thats what you meant lol but i wanted to give you a easier way if you would choose to

[Brenardo]

I do not currently have a PC. Or even home internet for that matter. SO.... it is phone and Tablet for me.

[CellZealot]

Using dd from terminal emulator works perfectly well to write the recovery without a PC.

If you place the recovery image on the root of your external sdcard and rename it twrp.img for simplicity, then use the following commands in terminal.

su

dd if=/storage/sdcard1/twrp.img if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery bs=4096

exit

All done!

Edit: The forum is making that 2 lines but its just a single line with a space between /twrp.img and if=/
