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!
