Update/Create Lion RecoveryHD partition quickly Without Reinstalling
Authored by: Sven G on Jan 19, '14 04:34:50AM

OK, so I tried it within a VMware Fusion 6.0.2 OS X 10.9.1 virtual machine, and indeed the script seems to work as before also in Mavericks: the recovery partition was updated from 10.9 to 10.9.1, and it also worked when booting into it (with cmd-R)...

FYI, here's an updated script, also for Mavericks:

There's only one cosmetic glitch remaining: now, in Mavericks, "BaseSystem.chunklist" and "BaseSystem.dmg" should be invisible, while they are again visible after running the Recovery HD updater created by the script; but this is easily fixed, from the Terminal:

$ diskutil mount Recovery\ HD

$ sudo chflags hidden /Volumes/Recovery\ HD/com.apple.recovery.boot/BaseSystem.chunklist /Volumes/Recovery\ HD/com.apple.recovery.boot/BaseSystem.dmg

It would probably be rather easy to update the script to include this (i.e., make these two files automatically invisible)...
