How To: Manually Flash ClockworkMod Recovery Touch on Samsung Galaxy Note II

You can easily flash the Touch version of ClockworkMod from ROM Manager for an in app purchase of around $3.00. But you can manually do it and save a couple bucks if you want to try the touch version before you buy it.

  1. Download the touch version for your device from the ClockworkMod websiteimage
  2. rename the downloaded file to recovery.img
  3. copy the renamed file to /sdcard/recovery.img
  4. open a terminal window (or adb shell)
  5. su in the shell to gain root access
  6. run the following command:

    # dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/dw_mmc/by-name/RECOVERY
  7. reboot the device in to recovery and enjoy

  1. Followed your instructions for my desire HD. Downloaded the right version of clockworkmod touch for my device but here is the error I am getting.

    /dev/block/platform/dw_mmc/by-name/RECOVERY: cannot open for write: No such file or directory.

    I am thinking we may need to do a chmod to make the block writeable?

  2. The path in my post is specifically for the Note II. Your path is probably different for the Desire HD.
