I'm trying to find the stock recovery without having to download the factory images. For some reason root explorer is not able to extract the .tar file. I am wanting to flash using Flashify thanks.
Fastboot flash recovery from the factory image itself.

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.
Sent from my Moto X
To start: 5.1.1 (LMY48M), rooted, with TWRP for recovery
For every 5.x update so far, this has been my procedure using fastboot:
Flash boot.img
Flash radio.img
Flash system.img
After successfully updated, I'd use WugFresh's Nexus toolkit to root and flash TWRP.
I'm a fan of not needing to flash userdata.img, as I don't think that should be necessary given that the OTA wouldn't wipe installed apps and such.
I've read other threads about using fastboot to upgrade and am concerned about the boot warnings, which seem to require a custom kernel to circumvent. My question is: will the above approach still work? Do I need to flash any other files? If I need to flash a custom kernel, where do I get it, how do I flash it (is it just a custom boot.img?), and at which point in the flash sequence should I apply it?
Secondly, has anyone tried gaining root through the Nexus toolkit once upgraded to 6.0?
I'm looking for recommendations so I don't spend hours trying to unbrick my device. Thanks!
You'll also want to flash the 6.0 bootloader and why are you using the toolkit to flash twrp when you can flash it in fastboot along with the rest of the files?
Ah OK, I'll flash the bootloader image as well. Anything else to be concerned with? The toolkit has a feature to root + flash twrp as a feature, so I just use that.
Do the bootloader first, then reboot the bootloader before you flash anything else. There are instructions floating around here some where or you can google nexus 6 flash factory images. You don't have to flash user data as this will format all you data/ apps.
Just download the latest SuperSu zip (2.50) and put it on your SDcard. If you flash as you suggested and then boot directly into recovery, you will still have TWRP. If you don't flash the stock recovery.img to replace TWRP, it will replace on first boot anyway, unless you root imeediately, but you are probably booting to use the toolkit, which replaces recovery only to have to use the toolkit to flash recovery anwyay.
So do your flashes, boot straight into recovery, flash the supersu zip on your sdcard. Done.
Flash this recovery using only TWRP
If you use sp flash tool or adb,your mobile gives bootloop.
Just extract rar file and flash recovery.img using TWRP
RECOVERY :- https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bwu80KH_XvQBY2FpelhWZ0NWN1E/view?usp=drivesdk

Internet full of guides how to do this and you need to read first 2-3 lines
THE STEPS TO FLASH
Step 1 – On your computer, do these tasks :
1. Extract the ADB Fastboot Files .zip file, and then
2. Extract Mi_Stock_Recovery.tgz file. You’ll have a file namely recovery.img.

Just use MI Flash to restore your phone to stock. Then you can start over and flash what you want.
I have used autocf to unlock my n910T and installed TWRP from the app store. However, when I boot to recovery mode, i get the stock recovery menu and not TWRP menu. How do I get that to come up?
Do the same thing, but instead of using the cf autoroot file in Odin, download the Twrp tar file and flash with odin.
There is no reason to use cf autoroot these days, as TWRP+magisk does the trick. In fact, flash the unroot file to get rid of SuperSU, don't use it as it is super old.
