[Q] Restore stock recovery on Nexus 5 - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am currently running CWM recovery and want to go back to stock recovery? How do I return to stock recovery? and where do i find the stock recovery file if I have to flash it?
My Nexus 5 is running android 4.4.4.

I have attached the ktu84p stock recovery image to this post.
Download the zip file and extract the recovery.img file.
Then use fastboot to flash it to your device:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

How to get the original ROM back?

Well I need to send in the Chacha because of some Hardware issues, so I'd like to restore the original ROM.
What's the easiest way getting it back (maybe with the option not having to root it again afterwards, or restoring the Clockwork-Backup)?
The best way is to download RUU, extract from it rom.zip and from that zip extract system.img, boot.img and recovery.img. Then flash those three via fastboot using these commands:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
And reboot your phone and you will have stock rom with stock recovery on it. Then you can use OTA update if available.

There are a couple of ways to do this. As you said your running CROMi-X DEODEX, 4.2 bootloader (twrp 2.4.4.0-4.2 or 2.5.0.0-4.2) - so example below to flash latest stock asus JB 4.2 firmware for tf300t model - TF300T-WW_epad-10_6_1_15_3-UpdateLauncher.zip.
Method 1: - Using TWRP
Download the asus firmware zip - TF300T-WW_epad-10_6_1_15_3-UpdateLauncher.zip
Unzip this to a folder and inside you will find another zip called WW_epad-user-10.6.1.15.3.zip - Copy this zip file to your microSD.
Insert microSD in tab and reboot to twrp recovery, flash the WW_epad-user-10.6.1.15.3.zip , reboot, Done :good: You will now be on stock asus firmware, stock recovery & stock kernel.
Method 2 - Using fastboot - Assuming here android-sdk is installed and fastboot & adb working.
Download the asus firmware zip - TF300T-WW_epad-10_6_1_15_3-UpdateLauncher.zip
Unzip this to a folder and inside you will find another zip called WW_epad-user-10.6.1.15.3.zip
Here I put a copy of the WW_epad-user-10.6.1.15.3.zip on my micro SD card
On PC unzip WW_epad-user-10.6.1.15.3.zip and you will find a "blob" file- this is the system blob file for that firmware which is the system, stock recovery, kernel & bootloader all rolled into a one blob file.
Copy this blob file to your android-sdk/platform-tools folder
The version of TWRP you need for the JB 4.2 - 10.6.1.15.3 bootloader is "openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf300t-4.2.blob" - flashing a non-4.2 version of TWRP or any version of CWM will brick device. Not sure if 2.4.4.0-tf300t-4.2 works on 10.6.1.15.3 bootloader.
So download "openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf300t-4.2.blob" and also put this in android-sdk/platform-tools folder - you can rename it to something shorter if you want, say twrp-2.5.0.0-4.2.blob
Now connect tab to pc and boot to fastboot and check that pc can see your device ok
Code:
fastboot devices
should see device s/n here, if ok we can flash the system blob we put in the platform-tools folder
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash system blob
This will take 10ish minutes, it will send file then write file and you should a blue progress bar on tab when it starts to write.
When complete
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
You should now check & confirm that your bootloader has upgraded, look at the text in the top left of the bootloader screen and make sure it now has 10.6.1.15.3 in the text.
Here you should really be able to just reboot the tab and be fine but I would get stuck at boot animation so next part is a second flash of the same firmware but via TWRP recovery instead of fastboot, so method 1 - but you now have stock recovery so we need to flash TWRP first.
So in fastboot flash the "openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf300t-4.2.blob" I shortened to "twrp-2.5.0.0-4.2.blob"
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery twrp-2.5.0.0-4.2.blob
again here you should see a blue progress bar on your tab
When done reboot to bootloader again
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
This time select the RSK icon and boot TWRP recovery. In recovery I do a full wipe then follow method 1 and flash the WW_epad-user-10.6.1.15.3.zip from microSD, reboot & done :good: - You will now be on stock asus firmware, stock recovery & stock kernel.
If you need any more help just ask or have a look at my how-to in sig below for more info.
Thanks for that looong post . I did that but I forgot to do a wipe after installing... I was very upset. But I did wipe and now my tablet fully workin'. THANKS!!!

[Q] Custom Recoveries

Can someone point me to a procedure to install a custom recovery. I'm currently on the stock recovery, have downloaded a CWM .img file, but don't know how to "flash" it using the stock recovery. Or is that not the way it's done at all? Thanks for the assistance.
Hi,
[GUIDE] Nexus 5 - How to Unlock Bootloader, Install Custom Recovery and Root
You need to flash it in fastboot. Boot into the boot loader and, fastboot flash recovery recovery.img. where recovery.img is the cwm image file

[A510] I need stock system.img

I need stock system.img in order to flash it via fastboot. I have deleted my recovery and now i have no rom installed so i need these files. Hope someone can uploaded them fast because i am running out of time.
As said by PM
Reboot in fastboot, and do
fastboot boot recovery.img
(using CWM or TWRP)
In recovery, you will be able to flash a ROM or restore a backup.

How to reinstall stock rom!?

Hello
I unlocked my bootloader, then installed CWM, rooted then installed unofficial EMUI 4 ROM.
But I was EMUI 3.1 before...
So my Honor 6 didn't work after that and never couldn't boot the ROM
When I try to install CWM again by Multi-Tool, flashing error says that I need to check the confirmation dialog on my device but I cant't access to my device because there is no ROM :|
I installed EMUI 4 stock recovery and now what can I do for reinstall the rom -_-
Is there any way at all?
Have you tried downloading EMUI 3.0 stock ROM and using the three button method after placing it on your SD card? which is power + vol up + vol down?
In order to get back to full stock ROM follow these steps, since you already flashed recovery of a build number I don't know, do it again by following the procedure:
Download your phone's latest firmware and extract system.img, boot.img, recovery.img, cust.img from UPDATE.APP using Huawei Update Extractor tool.
Flash recovery first, using this command.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Flash all other extracted files similarly firing these commands.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash system system.img
After doing this put that very UPDATE.APP from which you extracted the files in dload folder of your external SDCARD.
Switch off your phone, and press Vol UP + Vol DOWN + Power button simultaneously.
Your device will now get to the full stock firmware.
Enjoy your out of the box device..!!

Hi Digicoon,
I tried your method to restore to stock ROM after successfully installing KangVip Rom.
Actually this custom rom was intended for Mate7, but beeing a simple port from Honor6Plus (as stated by the developer) I installed on my device without any problem. The only thing I noticed was that my device was no more a Honor6Plus PE-TL10, but a DUK-AL20 which I think is Mate7 model number, right?
The ROM works good but I wanted to revert it back to stock.
Anyway, I tried downloading the kitkat stock rom for my Honor6Plus (it should be PE-TL10_EMUI3.0_Android4.4_V100R001CHNC00B260.zip) , extracted the UPDATE.APP and the four files you stated above, flashed them via fastboot and then put the entire dload folder inside the root of my SD card.
The phone hangs on the boot screen and then boot loop... no way to restore it.
I reverted it back to custom rom (via nandroid backup), even tried to flash the stock recovery.img to use the "Three buttons method" but with no luck, every time it stucks on boot logo and bootloop.
Do you have any idea what could it be? Maybe a "partitions" problem, due to different model number?
Thanks in advance and Merry Christmas
Also work for rooted L04 (TWRP) back to lollipop?

Does this also work in my case?
I have a rooted L-04 with TWRP and the latest b831-software. Now that I realised GPS is not working anymore I want to go back to Lollipop.
Has anyone tried it?
Thanks for your help.
