I was just wondering because every time I flash a kernel I go through the process of flashing the stock kernel/boot image and every time I do that the stock recovery pops up again. Is it because the stock recovery is on the stock boot image? After flashing it I need to go through the process of flashing TWRP and the TWRP installer to get it back.

My nexus was bootloader unlocked and rooted while on 4.4.2.
I OTA updated to 4.4.3 and lost my root.
Is there a way to re-root the phone without losing all my data or having to wipe?
Thanks in advance for the info.
Yes, flash a custom recovery or just boot into it and flash the supersu.zip.

Unless you flash Philz recovery where you can just root from within the recovery menu

Yeah Philz for life! lol.
Well it seems like for some reason it reverted back to stock android recovery.
Could I still flash a custom recovery and go from there?

The reason is the OTA contained a recovery. You have to flash a recovery as already mentioned earlier in the thread

Is it possible to boot a recovery image from the phone without flashing? If not is it ok to reflash backups of stock recovery? Tnx

It is possible via android sdk. You can use command: fastboot boot twrp.img
where twrp.img is the name of the recovery that you downloaded and not twrp.img

Yes i know but i would like to do it from the phone... There are tons of flash recovery apps but no boot recovery apps
ROM manager used to do it years ago until people got into trouble with it and it was removed.
If you intend on flashing things AMD backing up, flash a recovery. If you're not willing to flash a recovery, don't modify your phone

The problem with flashing is that you loose the ota update ability. That's why i would like to keep the stock recovery and just boot into cwm when i need it... But i guess i can restore the stock recovery via flashify before the ota is being installed so thats a solution... I just dont like flashing this stuff via apps

1) you do not lose OTA update ability with custom recovery. Read "OTA help-desk" available via my signature
2] what's the big deal about OTA? Its the worst way of updating available to everyone. Why bother? If you rely on OTA, remain unrooted, unmodified. Rooting is not for you.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Ugh lol OK, so worried about the ota? No worries, flash whatever recovery you want twrp,cwm,philz whatever floats your boat. Then when your ota comes out use Rashr to reflash stock recovery so you can update(you have to be on stock obviously).
I've done this numerous times, works every time.

One of the problems with OTA is the slow delivery and partial nature.
If I wasn't rooted, i'd always update using factory images. But since I am, the best way is for flash a pre-rooted stock ROM via recovery. They're usually available within an hour of the factory image becoming available

Agreed 100%, I normally stay rooted,this most recent preview though I'm staying stock. After running L for the last couple months its hard to go back to KitKat(I've tried several times). I have no intention of flashing another rom atm, I'll worry about root after the 3rd.
As for buddy worrying about the ota, really you have two choices.
#1 root and flash a recovery then wait for someone to post a root stock ROM
#2 wait for the ota
The only real benefit I see in waiting for the ota is you will probably get to keep all your apps on your phone. Me personally? I'd just fastboot the preview and wait till the 3rd.

I suggest you to first flash CMOS12.1 recovery.img and then flash the desired version of TWRP

I've done the same thing. It flashed the stock recovery cos12.1 and still won't flash a downgraded twrp recovery. Do I need to flash cos11 recovery?(when I got the phone I just installed twrp and flashed rom)

Are you flashing via bootloader? Or are you flashing it in twrp?
Download philz
Plug phone into computer
Boot to bootloader
Flash recovery
Reboot phone
Boot to recovery
Should be on philz now

Flashing via fastboot and Phone just reboots back to home screen
Does anyone else find that rebooting to recovery using twrp doesn't happen? I've tried re flashing recovery with fastboot and even selecting in bootloader boot to recovery after and still just boots into android.. Any ideas? Is it chainfires boot.img causing the problem?

Try unplugging phone from power source then attempt to enter TWRP.
I have done. I've just downloaded selinux changer app. Set permissive and then re flashed twrp again and now I can access it.

How you install custom kernel without TWRP?
My device is stock and i want to install elementalx + supersu to root. But i need TWRP first.
Fastboot the img file of twrp then boot into recovery from the bootloader
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Got the same problem - I flash the TWRP image with fastboot successfully but when I try to enter recovery, it either reboots or shows me the stock recovery. I'm on stog Android 6, trying to flash a different rom and kernel...
we are on the same boat @granets . when i boot to custom recovery it just boots directly to homescreen.
Have you tried the other kernel i linked above?

Left the boat earlier by downloading TWRP again (for a third time!!!) and it worked fine. Guess when downloading from their site, there is a high percent chance you will get a corrupted file. So far around 50% of all images I download don't work, and every time the problem is different. Maybe try that

good to know that! what i did is i used Wug's tool and booted the phone to twrp and then i locate the permanent twrp flashable zip on the "Ready to Flash" folder and "Root files" and then boom! got a working TWRP now :good:
Hello there. I ran the device 1 week ago and custom rom and root I threw. There is no trouble here. But when I installed the boot logo that I built yesterday, the device did not open again. There's nothing like a logo. It does not open in recovery mode. I can only go dowload fashion. I tried stock ROM throwing, although the phone did not open again. What can I do?

Did your custom Rom have its boot logo? If yes, reflash your custom Rom (no wipe).
Otherwise flash back to stock with Odin.

No rom had its boot logo. I had a stock rom with Odin, but the phone did not open yet.
Try SmartSwitch. You'll need a good internet connection.

I solved the problem. I found 4 files stock rom and flash to device.
