I decided to give the lollipop beta a shot, and then decided to root and flash twrp on the AM7 since I wanted to genuinely use it for a while. But I've decided against it and want to revert back to 4.4.2. AFAIK, I have to update to b300, then downgrade to 122.
Therein lies the problem, whenever I update locally, the phone reboots into twrp rather than the stock Huawei recovery. I tried flashing the stock recovery for 4.4.2, but it ends in a bootloop, so I just flashed twrp for 5.1 again so I have access to the phone.
Does anyone have a .img recovery file for me to flash so I can update to b300 then get back into KitKat?
Thanks!

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.
So I just updated my GPE converted xt1032 from 4.4.4 to 5.0.1 after struggling for hours. I had to flash the full 4.4.4 system image in order for it to flash the 5.0.1 OTA, all of this was due to my recovery not being updated to 4.4.4 for some reason when I applied that OTA a while back, and because of this I was getting an error about the update package expecting KTU84P fingerprint but my device had the KOT49H fingerprint, even though I had indeed KTU84P installed, it was just the recovery that was stuck in KOT49H.
Why recovery didn't update from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 is still a mystery to me.
Anyway, once I manually flashed the 4.4.4 image everything went fine.
However, now I obviously want to root the phone but I don't want to just go ahead and flash a custom recovery without first having a way to go back to the stock 5.0 recovery for future OTAs. I would just keep a copy of the 5.0 recovery.img file but there isn't one inside the OTA zip, but I know the recovery files must be there somewhere or else my recovery wouldn't be on 5.0 as it is right now.
Also there is no factory image at the moment for 5.0.1 where to extract the recovery image from.
So guys, do you know how to extract "recovery.img" for the latest 5.0.1 firmware from the OTA zip?
Thanks in advance
Hi all
I am from India and my H6+ was purchased thru flipkart. I got an OTA several months ago and I had B111 build.. now when I checked needrom.com there is an official Kitkat 4.4.4 update.
However I rooted phone changed to cwm recovery. Needless to say I downloaded the room and as per instructions I have tried updater app. But it failed.. rightly because my recovery is changed. So I went back to put stock recovery back and to my surprise B111 had no stock recovery available via Multi tool.. all have B125..
Here is what I need suggestions
1. How to get back to stock recovery of B111
2. With EMUI 3.1 around the corner will the update even recognize B111 or there is any minimum requirement?
3. Is there a way to update to EMUI 3.1 or latest official Kitkat Rom which is B250?
Please help me
Shakti

So, I have the p905v and I rooted it with towelroot, and it was completely fine. I then tried putting twrp recovery on it through flashify the wrong way and now I don't have a recovery mode. I can't update my tablet or factory reset it and I'm not too ambitious to flash the update into the device, is there a way to fix the recovery mode?
Grab the stock firmware from the link below and flash via ODIN from your PC. Make sure you download the right version.

OK, thanks! Another quick question, what if it goes through a bootloop and I need to factory reset it? Would flashing it restore recovery? And, you mean flash lollipop 5.1.1, right?

I need someone with a XT1540 2GB/16GB XT1540 to help me restore mine to working order
If you don't mind having Marshmallow 6.0 on your device until the official release, what I need is for you to do is install the OTA update.zip, fastboot boot twrp and make a backup for me, and upload it, so that I can restore the backup and get my phone working again. The reason I say boot is so that you can still keep your original recovery and not be stuck with twrp, also, to be able to possibly pull the recovery.img so that I can fastboot it and fully have it back to normal, tho I am happy with just having the phone boot normally.

Here you go: Fastboot stock firmware follow this tuturial and you will be OK! and you said that you have a marshmallow zip? Please send it to me.
If this isnt what you want explain further!
I'm under the impression that because my bootloader upgraded I can't fastboot the stock firmware and still receive OTA updates, because I risk bricking my device.
The last available firmware update has another update before the Marshmallow update, so it isn't the most newest
The one I need is Retail US (2GB) - XT1540_OSPREY_RETUS_2GB_5.1.1_LPI23.72-47.4_cid9
