Having a recovery image for nx1 and nx500 would be a great achievement for several reasons. Do you think that individual samsung service points could have it locally?

If I were Samsung I would make it available to them, at least upon request.

From what I read in the NX500 service manual, the recovery image is used to flash firmware without having a functioning one already in the camera.

The need to short the two pins (NB this would require disassembling the camera which would void warranty anyway) tells me that it probably puts the bootloader in a special mode (redirects it to load the initrd and kernel from sdcard instead of the emmc storage).

So yes, having it would greatly ease up bricking concerns.
