Is your device already rooted?
If so, you can probably just follow the instructions on this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1837907.
This is what is happening per the Cyangenmod team
WARNING: Do not boot into Samsung's ROM without first applying our Root .zip. Samsung's OTA updates install /system/etc/install-recovery.sh and /system/recovery-from-boot.p, which cause Samsung's ROM to replace the recovery image you had just flashed with the stock recovery. Our Root .zip removes these files, thus preserving your custom recovery. Follow the directions below to boot directly into CWM recovery.

Hello guys,
I have a strange problem. I had root and maverix custom recovery for a while and I was running SPQrom very fine. I flashed back the stock 1.67.405.6 WWE ROM and as expected I lost root and the custom recovery.
Now when I run the 1 click root (rootTattoo) and restart in recovery, I still get the default recovery screen with an exclamation mark. I have the step over and over again and still I get the default recovery screen. How can I get the custom recovery again?
Thanks,
Yash
Edit:
This problem was caused because something was wrong with rooting of the device. Here are the steps I followed to get a custom recovery installed again:
1. Use the one click root apk:

2. Activate root on my phone with the apk
3. Followed instructions from here http://coolbits.homeip.net/blog/2010/03/09/flash-custom-recovery-for-htc-tattoo/ to manually flash the recovery image.
Is there a guide anywhere on how to install 4.4.2 on the Dev Ed phones?
Assume I can just use TWRP for root after updating?
Thanks!

Are you rooted now? If you are rooted, as long as you haven't changed any of the system files you can install the .zip through the stock recovery and you're good to go (you don't lose root).
If you aren't rooted, just install the .zip through the stock recovery and then flash TWRP recovery and root.
Assuming you have an unlocked bootloader, flashed TWRP and rooted (but no other changes, no VZWentitlement hacks, delete/removing/renaming any apps from /system/app or /system/priv-app, no Xposed Installer and modules installed, etc...).
Download the 4.4.2 update .zip to your phone.
Flash the stock recovery back to your phone.
Boot to recovery and install the .zip you downloaded.
Done.
You'll need to find the .zip and download it.
You'll need to know how to flash the stock recovery back and have it downloaded so you can flash it
You'll need to know how to use the stock recovery (button combos to boot to recovery and enter recovery)

Thank you!
Ah, I had forgotten about having to use the stock recovery to flash. When I last updated, I dirty flashed a TWRP-able image. Might wait for someone to make one for maximum laziness
Edit the updater-script and remove the device check for ghost in the OTA zip that's posted. Then you can flash it in CWM or TWRP as long as /system is stock.

I'm setting up a RAZR i for a family member but cant seem to install latest OTA. It will boot to recovery fine and looks like its installing but half way through the sick android logo pops up and it reboots telling me the update failed.
I dont know if it has any significance but i unlocked the bootloader prior to trying the OTA update and also flashed TWRP recovery.
After realising the OTA required stock recovery i flashed a stock recovery image but i have no idea if this is version specific. I pulled the recovery file from LeBobo's recovery flasher tool.
The system version i'm running is 91.2.29001.XT890.Retail.en.GB does anyone have the required stock recovery i can use please?
Hi Nexus 6 Community
Im new to own a Nexus 6 but Im an "enthusiastic flasher" per say. I've being looking around with no luck so I was hopping someone will point me to the right direction:
Usually whenever I flash anything on my previous phones I like to flash TWRP again in case of boot loops or something flashing bad that could delete or corrupt my custom recovery. I'm rooted and installed the latest TWRP through fastboot, but as I previously said, I would like to have a flashable zip to ensure my recovery will be installed and have a higher chance of not being locked out of my phone.
Or I'd notice you can flash images through TWRP, will this re-install my recovery using the TWRP .img file?
I really appreciate all for your help, thanks
Once you boot into twrp for the first time it patches /system to prevent the stock rom from replacing it unless you choose the "keep system mounted as read-only." This option is only offered to you if you boot into twrp with an untouched /system. And as for worrying about being locked out of your phone, as long as you have an unlocked bootloader you can always use a google factory image to get back to stock w/o a custom recovery.
I'd assume no one's made a flashable zip for twrp because reflashing it wouldn't accomplish much of anything if you already have twrp to flash it in.
Hi all.
I have a couple of SM-T813 tablets with Nougat stock firmware.
I want to install Lineage OS on these devices. According to official installation instructions (https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/gts210vewifi/install) I have to write a custom recovery using heimdal.
I know that with a custom recovery i can backup the rest of partitions before installing Lineage OS, but I want to know if is it posible (and how) to backup stock recovery before overwriting it with custom recovery using heimdail.
How can I backup stock recovery before install custom recovery?
Thank you and regards.

You can pull with adb the recovery partition as .img to your SD card.
Have to know mount point of course.
Good description here:

Perhaps you gotta install adb root as well.
But there is no real need to backup stock recovery as it will be revived automatically, when flashing stock ROM.
Just make sure you have the stock ROM downloaded before you start flashing your recovery (multiple part stock is preferred).
