I will create a Recovery HD with Terminal. But the Youtube Video Tutorial is for Lion and not for Mountain Lion. Can somebody add the new text instructions for terminal input?

Does anyone knows the
update commands for Mavericks Recovery HD.

Thanks.


@tonyd, glad it helped. I wasn't sure if I could link to Insanelymac but yes he did post the text file used in the video (Attached below). How's your knowledge of Location Services?

@vienna01, yes it is a hidden recovery partition that matches the one on genuine Mac's. It allows "Find My Mac" to be enabled, can be updated with the Lion Recovery Update and you can also use Lion Recovery Disk Assistant to create a USB stick from it.

Code:
sudo -i

diskutil list

diskutil info /dev/diskXsX

XXXXXXXXX-700*1024*1024=

diskutil resizeVolume /dev/diskXsX XXXXXXXXXB jhfs+ "Recovery HD" 650002432B

diskutil resizeVolume diskXsX 650002432B

mkdir /Volumes/Recovery\ HD/com.apple.recovery.boot

hdiutil attach /Applications/Mac\ OS\ X\ Lion\ Installation.app/Contents/SharedSupport/InstallESD.dmg

cp /Volumes/Mac\ OS\ X\ Install\ ESD/BaseSystem.dmg /Volumes/Recovery\ HD/com.apple.recovery.boot/

cp /Volumes/Mac\ OS\ X\ Install\ ESD/.disk_label /Volumes/Recovery\ HD/com.apple.recovery.boot/

cp /Volumes/Mac\ OS\ X\ Install\ ESD/boot.efi /Volumes/Recovery\ HD/com.apple.recovery.boot/

cp /Volumes/Mac\ OS\ X\ Install\ ESD/kernelcache /Volumes/Recovery\ HD/com.apple.recovery.boot/

cp /Volumes/Mac\ OS\ X\ Install\ ESD/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist /Volumes/Recovery\ HD/com.apple.recovery.boot/

cp /Volumes/Mac\ OS\ X\ Install\ ESD/System/Library/CoreServices/PlatformSupport.plist /Volumes/Recovery\ HD/com.apple.recovery.boot/

cp /Volumes/Mac\ OS\ X\ Install\ ESD/System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist /Volumes/Recovery\ HD/com.apple.recovery.boot/

umount -f /Volumes/Recovery\ HD/

asr adjust --target /dev/diskXsX -settype "Apple_Boot"
