I need to flash the stock recovery for my Maxx, but I'm not sure where I can get it. Any ideas?
why do you need it (if you are in custom recovery and hence rooted)? Are you getting ready for the OTA? I hope you have unlocked your bootloader...
Then its better to return to stock as a whole and the details are here... Yes, the recovery will be stock one and you can receive OTA without any issue. BootLoader will still remain unlocked. Re-rooting is also as simple (even after ota MOSTLY) as flashing TWRP recovery..
here it is, grab it.
its 4.4 droid maxx stock recovery.
You can find all stock firmwares here:

Download the 4.4 file and pull the recovery.img file out and flash it with fastboot

I am selling my 300T and I have downloaded the latest JB .20 ROM from Asus. I am currently on JB .18. I want to return everything to stock before I sell it. I am currently rooted with an unlocked bootloader and have deleted some stock apps. I have TWRP recovery currently installed. Will flashing via Fastboot be the best method? Will this flash the recovery as well? I saw another thread saying that flashing the blob file via fastboot restored the tablet to stock completely, but there was a discrepancy on the command to use. Thanks for the help.
Refer to the link below, it's a thread I just posted in concering the same issue

Stock ICS Rom for cricket you will find here.
Download the OTA, unzip the firmware.zip inside, and unzip from firmware.zip the recovery inside. This you can flash with fastboot and OTA should work with it.
Otherwise you will find stock JB rom/backup for cricket here.
I see many noobs like me being confused about how their root and custom recovery status should be before installing or even receivingLollipop OTA.
So my understanding is to receive OTA update and to successfully install it one needs to be on,
1. STOCK firmware of their respective device.
2.Custom recovery ( No TWRP, CWM or any other custom recovery ).
3.Bootloader should be locked.
Am i right?
So, my questions are,
1. I can understand why the first two needs to be done but why should we lock the bootloader?.
2. When i restored to stock firmware( Mine's XT1033 ) KK 4.4.4 from TWRP Recovery with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/rom-stock-motorola-rom-collection-t2854688 TWRP was still installed on my mobile.But when i reverted to stock 4.4.2( not 4.4.4 ) from fastboot using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2700502 it successfully deleted TWRP.
So when we flash Stock ROM with Zip file it only installs the stock ROM and won't delete TWRP? and when we flash with fastboot( and .xml.zip file ) it removes TWRP? So am i right with this assumption?
If i am right how do i get back to stock recovery( delete TWRP ) since currently i have Stock 4.4.4 from the above link.
Help me and provide some correct scenarios to get Lollipop OTA.
this mototool has a functionallity of retrieving stock recovery
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50029015
it's pretty straight forward.
and as of what I've read, no need to relock bootloader for OTA to take place.. but I have no experience whatsoever..
I have 210.12.40.falcon_umts.EURetail.en.EU ROM installed on my XT1032.
I also have TWRP recovery. I want to install Lollipop OTA so I have to get back to stock recovery.
I tried to flash recovery.img from https://mega.co.nz/#!HRpRTR4Q!GNPL3a1Syc8vwholky1wNNfX4rQ-24swytFM6cUVowM via fastboot but it's not working (red triangle). How to do that?
You need to flash back to stock 4.4.4 with no root and stock recovey, update Motorola Services app in the play store, then check for OTA updates..

Please read before answering.
I have stock 4.4.4 and I have OTA avaliable. But I can't install it with custom recovery.
My problem is only that I can't install stock recovery.
Did you unzip the file and try to flash the stock recovery using fastboot?
You did not mention whether your ROM was rooted, had any apps removed, etc,. and this is why I suggest re-flashing to make sure you have a completely stock ROM.
You have the EU retail ROM on your phone and the link is for the Retail GB. Not sure if both ROMs use the same recovery and partition layout.
I've just finished flashing stock recovery, this is the guide I used:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general/gpe-ota-lrx21z-5-0-1-xt1033-xt1032-t2969847
You're going to have to download mfastbootv2, Minimal ADB and Fastboot and the batch files, then mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img and I guess you're done.
Though I've did the whole tutorial, so I'm not sure if that one command is enough if you only want to flash recovery, but I think that's all you need.

So, for last 2 hours I was trying to flash stock recovery. I tried to flash different ROMs, wiped data and system several times. Nothing seemed to work. After flashing recovery.img from any stock firmware package there always was red triangle and it didn't work. All custom recoveries works.
So since I've already had my data wiped, I just flashed Lollipop with fastboot and it works well. But still doesn't have stock recovery.
Hi,
It's been years that I've been living with the XT925 on CM11 JBBL and as I've been following latest developments on CM 12.1 and want to give it a try.
I've been searching for the past week on how to safely perform the bootloader upgrade so I can flash CM12.1. As it turns out there is a lot of disperse information on how to do it, followed by scary cases of soft bricked devices.
Current device status:
- Bootloader Unlocked
- Rooted
- CM11 M12 JBBL
- Everything works fine
What I already know:
- I have to Unroot my device
- Need to flash stock 4.1.2
- Must check if everything works once in stock
What I need help:
- Should I download OTA via the stock firmware?
- Should I flash stock recovery?
- Should I perform the update from the device or should I extract the OTA and change something and then flash it manualy?
- Is there any tutorial that I should've found on my searches?
On a sidenote: is there any chance of my bootloader to be relocked and/or loose any chance of future root access due to the OTA?
I believe that as people realise that CM12.1 is stable some noob friendly thread to the ancient JBBL's out there would be much apreciated.
Thanks in advance!
If I were you, I would just flash straight to KK with RSD or House of Moto. If you go this route, you won't need to flash back or reinstall stock recovery. Flashing the FXZ will reinstall stock recovery, but if you use House of Moto you can use an option to flash aftermarket recovery. Flashing shouldn't relock your boot loader, either.

In order to flash straight to KK I need to obtain it via OTA download while in Stock JB.
I haven't found any KK image laying arround, so this might be the only route.
Any other advices will be much apreciated RikRong.
Can you find the firmware on MotoFirmware.com, when it's actually up?
Try this: http://motofirmware.center/files/
