[Samsung Galaxy Core Prime Questions & Answers] TEFjLONjDON:
Im out of town right now... so I'll give this my best shot.* It's all from memory though. So. (Back tomorrow afternoon)

If your wanting to use "adb install"* to recover your recovery partition back to stock; then all you have to do is:

Place your recovery.zip file in the same directory as adb.exe (ie... "C:/program files (x86)/androidSDK/Platformtools/" Then open an elevated command prompt and nav to the platform tools dir where adb.exe is located along side your recovery.zip folder.

Now type:

adb devices*

(You should see the name of your device on this line now..)

Now type:

Adb install recovery.zip

Im not sure it will work this way...it will probably return an error...

your best bet is to use Odin3 v3.10.6 with your phone in download mode to recover your recovery.

In which case you would want to extract the recovery.img file out of the recivory.zip file. Then use 7z to add it to a .tar archive file.*

Then place it on the desktop or somewhere you can find using ODIN.

*Then disconnect your phone from pc if connected previously.. and turn it off.

Once it's fully powered off, to get to download mode....Hold the power button, volume down button and home button at the same time until it vibrates and starts to show the boot animation..

Once in download mode, Except the warning prompt by pushing the volume up key.

Then plug your Micro USB cable into the phone and connect the other side of the usb cable to your computer.

If your drivers are installed correctly. Then Odin should recognize your phone and show a blue rectangle with the words "com[emoji14]ort5" (or some other port number) on the third line down of Odin.

It should also show you the words "Added ?(somthing)?" In the "log" tab now.

Make sure that no other check boxes are ticked inside of the "Options" tab. Then tick the box beside "AP". Then click the AP* button Itself, and browse for where you have the recovery.tar file.

At this point it might take a second analyze the file.

Once you've gone over everything and verified that only ".F reset time" and "autoreboot" are ticked in the Options tab then you can click the Start button TO START THE FLASH ..

If boot is the issue... then I believe you can repeat the same procedure but with the boot.tar file...

there might be an option that you need to tick in the "Options" tab too .... If you see something about boot then perhaps it is so...*

Im out of the house right now so I can't confirm any of this for you right now....I'll check when I get home tomorrow.

*if I remember correctly then you'll use the other box above "AP".. like BR or something to flash the boot.tar.** Be careful and Google videos about Odin3 first..... remember the different versions have minor differences sometimes too...

You shouldn't loose any data if you use odin as originally described with only the two boxes checked and only use "AP" to flash the stock rom..

If you care about your phone data like contacts and theme and docs then Try this first so you dont gum up your stuff should it take some time to flash and to update but let it run its course.
