Hello all, long time lurker, first time poster
I was wondering if there is currently a way to get a custom recovery on my phone without the use of a computer. I was able to root my phone using towel root, and first thing I did was install Rom Manager and start to make a nandroid backup until I got:
" RECOVERY BOOTING...
RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
Set Warranty Bit: recovery"
So I went into download mode, hit cancel and was able to boot into android but to this day I am unable to get into recovery, stock or custom. Due to my current complicated situation I do not have access to a computer and was hoping there was a work around to allow me to implement a custom recovery without a pc. I want to be able to make a nandroid backup, flash zips into the OS, and possibly experiment with other roms... I have tried looking into this myself but the only thing I came up with us an app called "Flashing Tool", though I don't know whether that will allow me to do what I want it to. Oh, and I don't care about Knox being flagged by the way.
So ladies and gentlemen of the Xda community, I beg for your assistance and would greatly appreciate any answers you can give me.
My phone is a T-Mobile Note 3, rooted stock Kit Kat rom, any other info needed just let me know.

That is the standard message while recovery is booting. How long did you wait?

After that message it just restarts into a boot loop showing that message over and over until I pull the battery, boot into download mode and then hit cancel so the phone boots up normally. Currently I do not have a recovery menu at all, not stock, and not custom.

Ok, installed Mobile Odin, first thing it said was to make sure I have the proper boot loader or it could result in a soft brick. Now it shows me the different partitions, one of them being "recovery"... Now what file exactly should I be using? Do I flash it to that partition or do I just use the" Open file" option? Can you guide me through it at all? I appreciate all your help thus far!
Edit: I believe I found the correct file to flash... Please correct me if I'm wrong but being that I have the T-Mobile version of the Note 3, my boot loader should not be locked right? So I should be able to flash this file *n9005-cwm-recovery-6.0.4.7-kk(0125).tar* using mobile odin, and all should be good, right? I would post the link but I'm a new user and cant... But this is the description of the file: SM-N9005/SM-N900T/SM-N900P Qualcomm Note 3 – CWM Recovery -*Download*-*Credits*(Also works for T-Mobile/Sprint)

I have never personally used Mobile Odin, but you need to flash the recovery's tar file in the software.

You my dear friend, have my everlasting gratitude! I now have a working cwm recovery! Maybe I should make a quick guide to show how to root and flash custom recovery without a computer... Lord knows I could have used a guide like that. Thank you Feral....

If you can get into CWM, you only need two more steps now
1) mount /system
2) install zip from sd -> su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip
Reboot and you are rooted.

Yes I follow the root technique of "hxxp://nexusshacks.com/nexus-s-hacks/how-to-root-nexus-s/", and, like "vbobmac", my phone stock at google page.
After that, i try the "rootboot.img" who give "Si_NZ" to "vbobmac".
And, like him, after that when i boot, i can only boot into clockwork recovery, and i can't go into "bootloader" mode.
Can I make my rom at stock into clockwork recovery?
I hope, it's possible to unmake this mistake?
In the post "[ROM] Stock - 2.3.4 - GRJ22 - Deodexed w/radio for NS/NS4G", do i have to take a rom rooted or not? Because my phone is unlock, but not totally rooted i think.
Sorry for all those questions, but i'm a little lost. And i'm affraid to make an error who will kill my Nexus S.
Thank you a lot for your help, i wait your answer before doing anything.
Thank you again.
It's great to see people, who are ready to help directly.
Edit: Now I can boot in "bootloader" mode, but i try with ODIN to put back at stock my phone, but the computer (Windows 7) dont recognise the phSamsungone.
Even when I install PC Studio 3.
Do you now an other way to make my phone work? Root or at stock, doesn't matter. Just if he can live, it's good to me.

Can you access the sdcard to flash a rom? You can do that by going to clockwork recovery, then mounts and storage, then select mount USB storage, then on your PC go to my computer and press refresh until you see the phone storage appear, keep pressing refresh for atleast 5 minutes because sometimes it takes a while. Then download any rom rooted or unrooted and flash in clockwork recovery.
If you can't do that and you can use fastboot, I'll send you a system.img and boot.img to flash.

Yes, i can mount my phone, but when i try to install the default rom, but it's not working. I have an error.
At least the manipulation is working, i can mount on my computer the nexus.
Do you have a rom 2.3.4 for Nexus i9023 please? Maybe i don't flash with a good rom?
Thanks again for your help.
I try again, to flash with the original 2.3.4, but the operation abort everytime.
Do i have an other choice for flashing my phone?
Mount the sdcard is working, copy files work too, and i can run the update.
But, the operation abort with a "statut 7".

I flash, like the first time, from Windows "cmd"?
Sorry for all those questions, but i don't want to make something who can kill my phone.
And I think, i don't have the good bootloader.
My phone is a Nexus S i9023, but since i try to root my phone, my bootloader version is the "i9020XXKA3".
You think, i have to change the bootloader first?
For flashing bootloader and clocwork recovery, i have to do it from Windows?
Waiting for your answer.
Thank's a lot

Yes, from cmd, type "fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img" , replace "recoveryname.img" with what it's named. Good luck.

I flash the recovery, and now i have the v4.0.0.2, but i still can't flash a rom.
I still have the same message:

Don't you think it's because my bootloader is not the good one?
Can flash it too, from Windows?

To do that you need root, because if you don't change those files the stock recovery will be back every time.

Hello,
I've rooted my phone using the towelroot method and everything seems to be ok. I checked my root status and it came back clean. Got the SuperSU and installed the binary. Now the problem is, I have a bad recovery. Everytime I go to install a ROM from SD, or use ROM manager to install a rom, my phone boots into recovery but I get the "Could Not Boot Normal" - Odin Mode
Downloading... Do not turn off target! And it just hangs there. I'm able to reboot using vol down + home + power and cancelling the "download" - but there shouldn't be anything to download - the ROM is on my SD card. Does this mean that I have a curropted recovery? I currently have both ClockworkMod and TWRP installed. I can't seem to get rid of one or the other.
Any recommendations? I really want to throw a 4.4.3 Rom on this device.
Thanks in advance.
You cannot instal custom ROM from stock recovery.
You need to have custom recovery (CWM, TWRP...) but this step void knox to 0x1.

HI guys,
Thanks for the replies, though I'm not sure I understand them. I have two recoveries installed, according to Rom Manager - Clockworkd and TWRP. Are these the stock recoveries? I guess I thought that's all I needed. I'm not concerned about the warranty too much.

Thanks for the reply! When I go to ROM Manager and select "Reboot into Recovery" it asks if I want to boot into Clockworkmod. I hit yes, and the phone reboots, but then goes to the this (attached) page and stays there. Then I have to do Vol down Home Power to cancel the "download" to boot normally.
I had a Droid Eris and HTC Thunderbold that I successfully rooted back in their day - but this one click towelroot seems to have screwed me up a little - though to be fair, the majority of fault probably rests at my feet.

Do not use any Managers etc. They´ve made a lot of problems.
If you don´t have problem with warranty use CF-Auto-Root. Towelroot is good only for people who wants warranty.
CWM or TWRP flash via Odin and you will see

Hi all,
I want to install custom kernel on SHV-E330L, if custom kernel malfunction then phone will not boot. So i want to confirm in which state phone will be, on galaxy s4 startup logo or will not power on at all?
I think aboot and recovery both are bootable partition so it is possible is aboot is does not work then phone can boot into recovery through recovery partition or start in download mode?
Can you still access recovery and download mode?

Ahh, okay I see now. If there's a problem with your custom kernel then all you need to do is boot back into download mode which will still work, and then flash the kernel that you were using before again.
So basically, have a copy of a kernel which you know works on your PC ready, in case you have a problem and need to put it back to the way it was.
You shouldn't have a problem though, as long as the custom kernel which you want to install is for the correct android version etc, it should work fine. I've never had such a problem.

You can only restart the phone from recovery, not boot from recovery. But as I mentioned above, as long as you've got download mode your phone isn't broken. You can mess up anything on your phone, as long as you don't break download mode it's recoverable. You pretty much need to do something really stupid to lose download mode.
Stupid things that could make you lose download mode and completely brick your phone include, but are not limited to: flashing a kernel made for a completely different device Or selecting repartition in Odin but not adding a PIT file.
Never install anything that isn't made for your exact device! There are exceptions, but if you don't know exactly what you're doing then you're just asking for your phone to be bricked. So don't.
First, thank you for any help!
I did look threw the forums, as best I could... I did see any solutions here that worked for me... saw some one another site.. they did not work.
I can no longer get into ANY recovery boot... Every time I do the buttons, to go into recovery... it show "booting into recovery" blinks, vibrates... and then boots into the phone in normal mode....
I recently had to flash it to stock with Odin.... which lost my root.... I tried to install TWRP , so I could root it... did not work... then used KINGOROOT, to root it, which it claims DID work (the rooting) , after two tries... and then it did allow me to go into "stock recovery" mode...
...so i then flashed TWRP with Odin... and ... now, again, I get not get ANY recovery mode to come up.
ARGH!!!!!!!
Please help??

I am flashing TWRP 2.8.7.0 which is the SAME file I used when I flashed it... a year ago?
I know that there is a new version of TWRP... but I have heard there are problems with the newer TWRP flashing ROM's....
On another site, someone said that the problem was that if you flash back to stock, the new (stock) bootloader has a line it it, to check that you can only use stock recovery file... ... >sigh<....
My "simple" project... to upgrade my phone... has become a night mare.....
2.8.7.0-hltetmo?
If it doesn't work, try cwm.

Got it fixed!!
Figured I would say how, in case someone else has the same problem.
I had already rooted the phone with "Kingoroot" , when I was trying to put TWRP on...
By downloading and running "TWRP MANAGER" from the play store, it was able to install it on my phone, and I am now able to boot into recovery.
Good luck!!
