[Q] Stock Recovery Partition Missing?

Just curious, does anyone have a dump of the recovery partition for the Dev Edition? It looks like from a bit of reading is that the recovery partition doesn't seem to be present.
I am unable to use recovery mode properly since it saids invalid operation when I do apply from SD, storage or cache, followed by the phone automatically restarting.
Has anyone else noticed this? I wonder if the unlocked 32 GB versions is unaffected.

try to reflash the recovery, the partitions should be the same as the original One

I tried to do that by using the RUU and using the zip, but it did not bring it back.
Is there a way to get the recovery image itself? I tried to extract the zip but it looked like it's encrypted as I cannot do so.
Looks like one mike1986 mentioned it's missing as well.

1. Well, I decided not to mention some things to avoid confusion. At the moment unlocking bootloader removes content of /data/preload partition, so indeed, installing OTA will fail. But I truly hope that HTC will fix it at some point and unlocking bootloader won't cause some stock apps to be missing.
2. Which procedure?

Hmm, I'm beginning to wonder if the stock recovery is suppose to work like that, where if I try to apply storage, sd card, or cache it saids invalid operation and reboot. The reason is, a new HTC One S my relative got she her phone is being replaced for free under warranty... I go to the recovery and do those certain the apply stuff, it also saids invalid operation out and restarts!
I find this a bit interesting on my HTC One when I go to the recovery and wondering the failed mount SD card messages is normal.

The only time bootloader is going to Sig check a recovery partition is if he is relocked. He said he used the ruu a couple times so he is still relocked.

STOCK recovery and kernel pack from EMUI 3.0 / 3.1 ROM's

Here you are most of EMUI 3.0 and 3.1 recoverys and kernels extracted from appropriate ROM'S:
L10-B602
L00-B607
L07-B607
L10-B609
L10-B613
L10-B621
L10-B805
L10-B813
L10-B815
L10-B817
L10-B830
In some folder there is more than one RECOVERY.IMG (differently named) because it was backed up by thirst party applications (f.e. Rash.apk or Flashify.apk).

Thanks for sharing man. I appreciate it!

I have tested B813 kernel and recovery now and it is working properly.
I Flashed it by fastboot and system booting.
I haven't now possibility to checking B805 files because I am on B813 system now.
Maybe try to re-downloading package.

Does anyone have any idea if it's possible to flash a recovery without fastboot even when you can't boot into the os? Right now I can't do anything with my phone...
My pc doesn't recognise my phone in fastboot mode but, it does recognise adb but, only when I try to flash something (hold vol-+ and put in usb cable). If anyone is able to help me please say it...I've got a thread named phone bricked good somewhere on this forum (ascend p7 general).
Thanks in advance and sorry for the trouble
sincerly,
Jules

Are you guys getting the red "Corrupt..." triangle during boot when using this w/ TWRP?

Or you can use the gui Nexus toolkit for factory images.
Not as "fun" but works.

I get a dead Android with a red triangle when trying to boot into recovery. It seems my TWRP got toasted somehow. However I do not receive any corrupt notice when booting the device normally.
I performed a fastboot flash of TWRP 2.8.7.1 and on first boot, TWRP gave a warning where I had to accept that it was OK to modify the system. I have never seen that before. After installing TWRP I do get the corrupt device message upon boot.

I did because I want to try M which I downloaded from here.

Of course this wipes your device so please keep that in mind.
Going from 5.1 to 6 requires a wipe especially with a custom ROM.
You will lose root until rooting the stock M build comes out.
I'm OK with being stock for now since I use Google pay.
But I'll play with custom M ROMs when they come out later.

Yes, it boots fine.
I can even get root by flashing an M-based kernel, then the SuperSU 2.49 zip. However when I flash apps that install as System Apps (like ViPER4Android), they don't seem to install. It's almost like TWRP doesn't have root access.

ok finally flash the image M Using Nexus Root ToolKIt

Don't use toolkits if you don't know what you're doing. Use manual fastboot steps.

I booted into fastboot, flashed the individual firmware files and it kept failing on the vendor.
I had a black screen with a red flashing LED on reboot. I claimed on my insurance and they replaced the board on the phone.
I checked on here and online for a resolution and it generally points to a hard brick.

You must use OTG! Probably Flashify borked a partition,but i don't think it borked vendor.
However, you should still be able to flash a FullOTA with TWRP + NoCheck combo.
If you can't manage that, hit me on Telegram,i'm @Pretoriano80 in there!

You can flash EMUI based FW using an OTA method. It should work. But it will lock your bootloader and you will have to unlock it again.
