Steam Deck Tutorial - No PC needed - Create a SteamOS recovery image using SteamOS on the Steam Deck
Btw, Steam Deck is a PC™
From time to time a question pops up -
"How to create a SteamOS recovery image I dont have a PC only a Steam Deck???"
Thats why i decided to create this quick video.
Its about a 4minute video but this is the summary -
Boot to desktop mode
Open Firefox browser to download the 2.5Gb recovery image from Steam website
Once download is complete, plugin the usb drive you want to use for recovery
open konsole terminal and type the 2 commands -
cd Downloads
bzcat steamdeck-recovery-4.img.bz2 | sudo dd if=/dev/stdin of=/dev/mmcblk0 oflag=sync status=progress bs=128M
(i used /dev/mmcblk0 as im putting the recovery image to an sdcard. if using a usb drive then use the parameter /dev/sda)
this will take several minutes to complete
once done, power off the Steam Deck
VOLDOWN+POWER then select your USB drive to boot
SteamOS recovery image is booted up!
