Root [TUTORIAL][WORKING]Safest way to flash a recovery

[varun.chitre15]

The amount of bricking case is just rising nowadays and the reason behind it is still under the black cloth, some think its due to wrong scatter file and there are many users out there who are eager to flash the recovery. But still there is workaround for it which is safest amongst all

Spoons and Forks needed-
1. Micromax A75
2. Root access
3. Stock ROM/UB-1(This doesn't matter but just for a safe side)
4. Terminal Emulator from here
5. Recovery image by me from here
6. flash_image binary from here
7. Any Root explorer



Procedure-
1. Extract the flash_image binary to your sd card( Don't extract it in any folder, extract it in open that is root of sd card
2. Copy that extracted flash_image binary file to system/bin using root explorer and after that long press on the same file and select permissions and a dialog box will appear with few empty check boxes, tick all the check boxes and tap OK
3. Now place the recovery image in sd card( keep it open and not inside any folder)
4. Fire up terminal emulator and type

su

and press enter and grant the root access
5. Then type

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

and press enter
6. Then type

reboot recovery

and press enter and this will take you to new recovery!!

Advantages of this method
Safest method
Disadvantages of this method
Needs root access



Done!!

Okies
N which is the best free root explorer

I think ES File Explorer would do the job.

 

[Amarghy]

File manager! its free, its got the root-explorer inside it. Its also the file explorer that varun has given us a flashable zip of along with jetmod 3. Enjoy

 

[chughgopal]

Its not working bro
Any help

 

[chughgopal]

M not even getting the stock recovery

Just an Android logo alongwith a triangle with exclamatory mark in it

 

[Amarghy]

Try pressing the Home softkey bro....sometimes it works. Or, u can restart the phone to try again.

 

[chughgopal]

that worked yesterday night.
But cwm isn't working by ths method

 

[Amarghy]

Flash the recovery again. Press power key + volume UP key! not down key.

 

[chughgopal]

Yeah I know its up key

[Amarghy]

Did u try flashing only the recovery again?
