How to Manually Install Recovery

Messed up your Recovery option on android? Or Do you want to manually install custom recovery ?

 CyanogenMod Recovery not working ?

Is your phone not going into recovery mode and showing just logo ?

Here is your solution to all these problems ::::::::::

Download the recovery image file of your choice or here is the stock recovery.img
Save it to your SD Card directly and not in any folder.

Download the flash_image.zip and unzip to your PC folder. install the ADB from Android Sdk site, then you will be able to run adb command
OPEN ADB and run the commands:


adb root 
(This will start ADB as root, or notify if it is already running as root.)
adb remount 
(This will mount the system partition (/system) as writable, allowing the following)
adb push flash_image /system/bin 
(This will send the flash_image script into the /system/bin, so we can use it from within the shell.)
adb shell chmod 0755 /system/bin/flash_image 
(Finally, change the permissions of the script to allow it to perform the desired action. Now that the script is installed, we are ready to proceed with flashing the custom recovery, saved on the root of the SD card earlier: )
adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img



then run “adb reboot recovery” , the phone will be rebooted to recovery mode. you will be able to run the option called “Flash zip from sd card”
Hopefully it will look like this
