I've searched and I cannot find a Sprint Stock Recovery zip to be flashed in TWRP recovery. The only one I have found is the .img that needs to be installed through fastboot. Anyone have a flashable one?

Grab a RUU and extract the recovery.img file from the ROM.zip. Then flash the recovery image in FASTBOOT USB mode using
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Thank you for the reply. Another method yet? ready to file the form. examples. sensation, such as stock recovery is installed?.
Ouh.
For my little brain.
I use MIUI S-OFF (Clockworkmod installed with CWM Recovery).
I extract the recovery.img from a RUU go in fastboot and use the android SDK to flash it?
What is with the S-OFF and what happens then? Is it S-ON then?

S-OFF is controlled by the HBOOT/bootloader. Installing another recovery image will not affect the bootloader, so you will still have S-OFF. However the stock HTC recovery does not allow you to flash custom ROMs.

OK, in looking at your posts again, are you asking how to backup your phone using a custom recovery so that you can restore it later?
If so, you would use the Backup option on the recovery menu and it create a backup file of the phone's current image to the SD card.
If you wish to restore this backup file, you would choose the Restore option on the recovery menu and then choose the backup file on the SD card.
If i install the Stock, the ROM doesn't allow to flash custom roms.
How do you mean that? Isn't it possible to install CWM +Recovery and flash a custom rom?

Yes it is possible to flash a custom ROM with CWM recovery. But if you reinstall the stock recovery (which is what I thought the original poster was asking), it will overwrite CWM recovery and you won't be able to flash a custom ROM.
Realy? And how can i get it back?

If you are still S-OFF or have an unlocked bootloader, then you would simply reinstall CWM.
Ok thanks i will give it a try!
Thanks for your answers
Alright. Short and simple.
I want to flash twrp recovery via zip file using hboot method. I am s-off. All files for twrp are in .img format. Is there a .zip flashable file available?

What`s wrong with flashing a .img file? Just flash in fastboot: fastboot flash recovery namerecovery.img.

You can't flash recovery in recovery. I mean, think about that for a moment.

Well. Lets clear a few things here. Recovery zips for flashing on locked bootloaders are common. (sony xperia z).
As i said i am s-off. Means I can access files and can flash unsigned zips. However to flash recovery on a locked bootloader but with s-off i need to flash it from hboot fastload.
I cant do it from the adb shell sinc ei am not rooted. But what i can do is have the twrp zipped flash file. Rename it at "PN07IMG" and put it on the root of sd card. SO when i boot into bootloader the file is recignized, picked up and flashed creating partition. Since i am s-off Partiitons can be accessed.
Once i have done that, i can flash unsigned files from recovery as well via zip.
Now, If there is a twrp flshable zip file for those who want to flash via zip I would be thankful

Aha. I see what you mean now.
I did something like that with my One X, but I haven't seen anyone doing it with this phone, sorry.
there's no need to re-invent the wheel here. Unlock your bootloader with revone -u
flash your recovery.
rebootRUU mode would probably work, if you knew how to write the android-info.txt file, but nobody is going to do that because you can unlock the bootloader without any trouble.
It won't wipe your system if you do it with revone.
if you are interested in CWM... here is the link for you:

Hey guys!
So, I've been thinking of doing the new update.
If I flash the stock recovery img and do a factory reset, then do the update, flash TWRP and then re-root, will that work?
If so, where can I find the recovery img? Sprint system dump?
EDIT: Flashed recovery.img and system.img from stock firmware, flashed update.zip through stock recovery, then flashed back TWRP, rooted and good to go! :good::laugh:
I also have an unlocked bootloader fyi.

do you happen to still have a copy of the sprint img or firmware? If so, can you please update.
Today, I need to make a Nandroid backup, so I boot my phone to recovery, but it's stuck in a bootload with twrp lgo on the screen.
I tryed many ways to do that (use apps like Quickboot, ROM manager, and do it manual by press buttons ) but it's still freeze on twrp's logo screen.
But before, about a week ago, I maked a Nandroid backup and success without any errors.
My TWRP version is 3.00-0
Can you help to fix that? Pls
Tks for read.
I tryed to reinstall twrp by commands:
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
and I get an error:
Code:
mismatched partition size
after the second command.
And still no luck :crying:
Tryed to update to newer twrp's vesion but still no luck. :crying:
Flash the 2.8.7.1. But before you do, flash the stock recovery img then flash TWRP 2.8.7.1 instead of the latest TWRP 3.0 . It bugs on our lil' Victara. Good luck hehe

You can find the IMG file in the Moto X 2014 lollipop/marshmallow firmware zips available on Mega. Be vary, you need to know exactly what device model you are using(mine is XT1092).
Also I just tried flashing Cyanogen recovery and then flashed TWRP 2.8.7.1 It worked too. I had the same problem day before yesterday with TWRP 3.0.

Tks so much :good: It works :laugh:
If I install TWRP and want to return to stock recovery, how would I do that? All ROMs floating around dont have the recovery.img file... am I stuck with TWRP?
flash stock boot.img.
recovery is built within boot.img.
Oh awesome. I didn't know that. When I had the MotoG3, it had a separate recovery.img
