tried last night to switch to zefies new recovery and everytime it would restart my phone it was the old recovery on there. Do I have to put the new one on the root of the sd card then do it or should the app push it to the phone for me? still on v9
[APP] ROMTools v2.3.1
- Thread starter mmmark111
- Start date
Could someone please tell and explain how I can use this to go back to stock recovery and flash stock rom? I have a problem with my headphone connector and want a replacement but am a little chicken to go through the adb route and brick my phone.
I have Xionia recovery and NRom running and SW version is VC.

If you are bringing it back to Sprint and want it back to stock...
I just wrote up much simpler instructions to unroot and go back to stock.
See the reference section in my signature.
EDIT: Actually I broke it out and created a new thread for a simplified UNROOT and return to STOCK.

Thanks, I zeroed in on the reference below from your post.
Manually flashing stock V9 Recovery image (requires root)
UNZIP flash_image and stock V9 recovery.img to /sdcard
Quote:
$ su
# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /system /system
# cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/bin/flash_image
# chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image
# mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak
# mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /system /system
# flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
# reboot
I believe this procedure above is performed by the terminal emulator on the phone which installs the stock v9 recovery? Once I have the stock recovery, how do I install the recovery.img since the stock recovery has no install zip from SD option?
You could either perform the above from terminal emulator or from adb shell. I think it is easier to do from adb shell because there is a lot of typing.
As to how to install the recovery.img, I highlighted the line that does that.
For further discussion please use this thread so we can consolidate feedback:

Optimus M Recovery
mmmark111 - getitnowmarketing has a custom recovery for the Optimus M over at androidforums. Think you can hook us up and implement this into your ROMTools?
you can find getitnowmarketing's custom recovery here:
Custom Recovery MS690 Optimus M - Android Forums
I would try hooking up my Optimus M and just renaming the recovery file, but you do say "Any recovery can be used for the supported devices" and the Optimus M does not appear to be supported.

Whenever i run ROMTOOLS.exe, select Flash Recovery to phone, Select Phone (Optimus S) It checks to see if i am rooted but gets the error message: closed instead of showing $ or #. But since i know im already rooted i try to continue but when it trys to reboot to recovery nothing happens... not sure whats going on...
This tool needs to be reuploaded somewhere, since the FBI has been on it's power streak, MultiUpload is also off of the file sharing list.
- Download Recovery Flasher v1.3 (without V drivers)
- Download Recovery Flasher v1.3 (with V drivers)
None of these links works! Does anyone have the file they can share with me?
