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

BUYING AN ANDROID PHONE

What to consider when buying an ANDROID phone ? Especially if its your first ANDROID mobile.

Is money a factor ?

In case money is a factor then go for micromax sets in the market. Avoid Chinese sets. they don't have any guarantee.

If money isn't a factor then your requirements should be in the order:

1. Processor. Go only for processors above 1GHZ

2. RAM . I insist it should be 512 MB minimum. Don't buy less than that. You will regret.

3. ROM. Minimum 512 MB. Most apps in Android market tend to install in pone memory. 

    Internal memory should be as high as possible within reasonable price.

4. Whether the manufacturer provides UPGRADES. Android updates to upper OS is normally preferred                        .    since the new OS would be much more user friendly and less bugs.

Now coming to less important points:

    WiFi should be an important requirement. 

    A-GPS or assisted GPS is required for navigation. You are guaranteed to love it.

    Touch should be capacitive. Avoid resistive touch phones.
