Hello, I would like to know if its possible to take the stock recovery.img from my current ROM which is German Stock 4.4.2 and back it up for later use.
I want to do this because i want to root my device and then return back to stock recovery. I have already tried something, btw my bootloader is unlocked.
I installed thr official german 4.3, sideloaded the official german 4.4.2 and used cwm and rooted but then i looked in both zips of the stock roms and there was recovery.img only in thr 4.3 one so after rooting i flashed recovery.img which screwed everything, because another small official ota update, only 1.9mb which was already on 4.4.2 with 4.3 recovery and the phone booted normally and wanted to update that small ota update and after 1 min the phone restarted but it wouldnt go to the recovery and install the update it wpuld reboot over and over again
My question is how can i back up the stock 4.4.2 recovery.img for later use, thanks in advance for amy helpful posts

Hi,
I think the easiest way would be to check your ROM version and download the complete firmware from somewhere like FileFactory and that package should include the stock recovery which can be easily flashed back after you are done with the root.

As we All know we are going to get Android 5.0 Lollipop OTA in coming days and for OTA stock recovery is necessary.
Downloading whole firmware just for stock recovery is not worthy that's why I'm sharing stock recovery of Asian variant(XT1033 including India).
LINK:-
Stock recovery(Here)
.
Waiting so anxiously for Lollipop
BUT, flashing the ENTIRE firmware to OTA your device is a MUST.
OTA will fail if your device was rooted then unrooted because system partition was modified by root.. So, for the update to succesfully work, you have to flash entire firmware (including stock recovery), like it or not, to have an untouched system partition.
Flashing only stock recovery again is not enough, it will make no difference, OTA will fail.
So, this thread is kinda useless if you think about it...

Flashing Stock recovery alone wont work... I tried flashing the stock recovery alone for upgrading to 4.4.4.. but it didn't work..... We need to flash the whole firmware again for successful upgrade..
But it's good if somebody else want to find official recovery

Hi,
I decided a while back to give Cyanogen mod a try on my Moto G 4G (XT1039). After finally reverting back to the stock firmware (4.4.4) from a backup I am left with a rooted phone and a custom recovery (TWRP).
Lollipop will be rolling out shortly and I would like to emjoy the update. As I understand I will not be able to update OTA due to TWRP.
What you be the best way to update to the stock Lollipop once it is released?
Is it best to return to the stock recovery? And especially how?
Or would it be best to wait for a flashable stock Lollipop zip to be posted and flah it through TWRP?
Thank you for your advice.
Back to the STOCK
If you want move back to the STOCK ROM - firstly download it here.
Secondly follow this instructions here.
I've rooted my XT1039 once and then I moved back to the STOCK and the OTA 4.4.4 for repair 10 class microSD came. I don't have TWRP so that isn't exactly the same situation. I just have unlocked bootloader.
PS: I'm chacking System updates five times every day
hi,
I have Lolipop 5.0 in my Moto G + root + TWRP. I received the 5.0.1 OTA but of course I can't apply the update because of TWRP. I read (here) that I need to come back to stock recovery to apply the update. I'll loose root access but that's ok, I'll root again later. My question is: how do I come back to stock recovery?
Thank you.
The same way you flash twrp.

can't find XT1032 Lollipop stock recovery on XDA, I guess I'll have to open a new thread to ask... I flashed 4.4.4 stock recovery (through MotoTool AIO software) but I haven't been able to flash 5.0.1 update then. So I think 5.0 stock recovery is required to update to 5.0.1.
Thanks for your help.
If by chance you have the link to XT1032 5.0 stock recovery, please post it!

I guess you're using custom rom so restore to STOCK ROM .
Follow this guide (at the end dont flash any custom recovery) Stock recovery XT1032
Automatically you'll get stock recovery

no, I'm using stock ROM, with TWRP + root, that's it. So I just need to stock recovery to apply OTA update.
But thanks for the link, I understand how to use it to come back to stock recovery. Except... that this guide is for XT1033. Do you think I can use recovery.img XT1033 image file to flash my XT1032?
Hello,
I have a rooted Verizon HTC One M8 running on Android 4.4.2. I do not have the stock recovery and for some reason I am unable to flash CWM, so I am stuck with TWRP. I keep receiving notifications that Lollipop is available to install, but it fails each time I try to install it because I am rooted. How can I unroot and get back to my stock ROM so that I can install the update?
No need to update via OTA. Just follow the instructions here and you'll be on rooted 5.0.1 stock

Questions
Thank you for the reply. Are you 100% sure this is compatible/will work with my phone? If I flash the ROM and it doesn't work, can I simply flash a backup image I made to recover? And when I flash the ROM, will I lose all the data on my phone? Also, where may I download my stock recovery? I searched all over the internet and couldn't find one for the Verizon version of the HTC One M8.
Thank you
That RUU is a complete stock firmware package, including the recovery. Read the OP.
But if you're just looking for the stock recovery you can find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52017763
That alone won't let you take the OTA though. If you modified your stock rom the OTA will fail.
You can find a complete stock rom elsewhere here on XDA, but why the trouble if you have it all in one neat package with the RUU?
Thank you very much for the help and useful information.
Sorry to bother you with all the questions but I have one more. How do I make a backup of my stock recovery? Say I went out and bought a new phone, how would I backup that stock recovery?
Image Update Error
Error fixed now
Hi
Stock ROM not rooted.
My Nexus 5 is telling me it has an OTA update available.
When I click on it it downloads and then reboots the phone to TWRP at which point nothing happens, I'm in TWRP.
Is there any way to make TWRP support the OTA update or do I need to flash stock recovery ?
Thanks

I wounder the same thing! I've a custom kernel also!
No, if you are not completely stock you cannot get OTA updates. Download them from google, the links are in general forum. Download the full stock rom and flash just what is needed in fastboot.
