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

Hi.
I've got a problem. In all of the tutorials I read about how to flash ROM:s, it says that I have to flash boot.img through fastboot, then enter recovery and flash the ROM. I can not do this. When I flash the boot.img, I can not enter recovery or anything, I get stuck in a bootloop and have to restore through flashtool. When I flashed Taylor_Swift's 4.3 ROM, I flashed the ROM first and then the boot.img, it worked, I got up and running, but after that I couldn't enter recovery and therefore not obtain root access, making the ROM almost useless because the lack of the Battery Calibration app. Now I want to flash the PAC ROM, but I'm not sure how to do with the boot.img part. If it's relevant I have the lockeddualrecovery as my recovery.
Help please

No special order, really, as long as the kernel (boot.img) is fully compatible with the rom.
I'd flash PAC boot.img first though. Flash boot.img, then enter recovery and flash the zip containing the rom information.
Usually you should flash the boot.img that came inside the rom's zip and it should have a recovery,than you will have to install the rom from the recovery.
Don't forget to factory reset/wipe data inside the recovery.

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.
Seemed to have deleted the stock recovery.img for the TF701T and can't get into anything. Fastboot flashing objects doesn't work either.
I am going to flash a recovery.img and then see If I can get it to install the stock ZIP from ASUS.
Need stock recovery.img first. US Edition or WW edition would work.
You can get it here: http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=3210
Even better: You can dl a working CWM recovery from there, but how are you gonna flash it if you have no fastboot????
What is needed to pull the stock recovery image I already dumped the partition correctly I have root running on stock recovery.
I just need to figure out why i cant boot the stock recovery from fastboot
the screen just gets scrambled. But i mean i do have the recovery.img and boot.img pulled from their respective blocks. and dd'd into imgs
Maybe someone could point me in the right direction and we can have a copy of the stock recovery as well. I don't want to
fastboot flash it in case of bricking the recovery partition(Even though it should be a 1-1 copy)
I wanted to boot TWRP rather then flash it to install super su then boot into system to backup recovery partition using flashify. I can boot into TWRP but then I can't do anything after that.

Ill try with flashify i got TWRP to boot using fastboot boot, but i cant get the stock recovery to work. and dont want to flash without making sure. since the stock recovery when i use dd is 16mb
I just flashed my way up to M from the Fi-specific L, using the M image from the developers site. I was rooted, but using stock recovery. Everything went fine. So I'm stock, unrooted on M now.
Now I want to root again, (keeping stock recovery), and before I do, I want to be sure Chainfire's original N6 root for L, is still going to work right on M?

As far as I am aware, you need to flash a custom kernel that allows rooting.
I guess you could use flashify to flash a custom kernel and SuperSU v2.49?
You cannot flash a custom kernel using flashify if you haven't got root. You could extract the image and flash the boot.img and fastboot flash it, but still you'd need to get root.
He should just flash a custom recovery. There is no reason to keep the stock recovery. Rooted users really need the support that a custom recovery offers.
Flash you TWRP with fastboot flash recovery twrp.img then boot into recovery from bootloader menu. copy UPDATE-SuperSU 2.50beta and flash .zip like normal... you have root
