I had this issue on my old Nexus. Erasing the partition before reflashing worked for me. Are you able to flash another custom recovery like CWM over TWRP?

I didn't try flashing a different recovery. I was going to try using dd to write to the partition.
Do you happen to know which partition the recovery is on?
According to TWRP the partition is:
/dev/block/mmcblk0p25
BTW are you sure your stock recovery img is stock recovery and not twrp masquerading as stock recovery due to some mixup somewhere? where/how did you get your stock recovery img?

No, flash ROM from custom recovery first, then the boot.img from fastboot. Use a custom, not stock, recovery (CWM, 4ext, or TWRP).

I have no idea what you're trying to say. What recoveries have you tried to flash? How have you tried to flash them? How are you trying to flash the ROM? What is "cyan," ClockworkMod (CWM) or CyanogenMod (CM)? What is a "stock recovery .boot img"? You can't flash anything from the stock recovery. You can't flash the stock ROM's boot.img with a custom ROM. Recoveries do not have boot.imgs that you need to worry about. I am saying that you need to have a custom recovery, like CWM, 4ext, or TWRP, installed. You do that through "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img." You then need to download a ROM zip, boot into recovery with power and volume-down, factory reset, and install the ROM. You then need to extract the boot.img from the ROM zip you just flashed and flash it from the computer with "fastboot flash boot boot.img."

I'm having some trouble with installing a new recovery. I want to have TWRP because I want to install a ROM that requires it. At the moment I have some old CWM but when I flash TWRP and reboot into recovery I still get into CWM.
So how do I replace CWM or at least boot into TWRP?

Try 4ext recovery, in my opinion i think its better. Also u cant flash recovery "flash zip from sdcard" u have to either use fastboot command
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Or via PB99IMG method or using the 4ext app but u can only use the app once ur phone is booted.
Basically I'm stuck. Phone won't boot.....I can get to the white screen/bootloader.
It had a custom recovery on it (TWRP) so wonuldn't update....I followed a video to put the stock recovery on it.
I've downloaded a few files, stock recovery, stock boot etc.....put on sd card but no joy. It says reading sd card.....then "no image or wrong image"
In all honesty i'm so lost...Has anyone ever over come this???

What are you trying to do in the first place?
If you're going to flash a custom rom, place the rom in your SD card or internal storage, do a full wipe and install the rom.
If you're returning to stock for OTA, restore your nandroid backup (system, kernel etc) after which flash your stock recovery and do a reset from settings than search for OTA.
If you can't boot into recovery, flash the latest TWRP on your phone through fastboot. Use the commands: fastboot flash boot boot.img

It had a custom recovery on it Team win recovery project......which was stopping the software from updating.
So tried to put the stock recovery back on it.
At the moment I don't think its corresponding properly with my laptop......in the fastboot menu it does come up "fastboot usb" Drivers are installed too
But when trying to send it commands via command prompt it keeps saying device not found.
I'm wondering if it has deleted to operating system , as on the fastboot menu next to " OS - it says nothing "
Sorry for being brief....this is the first time i've ever come across all this stuff
I recently installed the latest version of TWRP (3.0.0) on my I747 running OctOS marshmallow. I installed it using to image flash tool on TWRP 2.8.7.0, and accidentally flashed to boot image instead of just the recovery. Now the phone only to TWRP, and can't boot to the ROM. Any help on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated, as my phone is virtually useless right now. Thanks!
Any idea which bootloader is on the phone?

Whenever I tried to install the new TWRP recovery, using the image flash tool in TWRP 2.8.7.0, there was an option to flash the .img file to the boot partition and recovery. I accidentally chose the boot partition. I'm going to try to install the ROM again, I think that should override the custom recovery boot loader.
Odin it, will be okay. Just don't panic.
Odin will not work if the phone is running a 4.3 or newer boot loader. Flashing a ROM via Odin to a phone with a 4.3 or newer boot loader could brick the phone.
:what: try to reflash image to recovery :what:
"err on the side of kindness"
Thanks guys, I got it . I had to reflash the ROM
Hello guys,
I think I ****ed up. My recovery mode isn't working anymore, after I tried to install an update while TWRP was installed. I tried to flash it with TWRP and also with the stock recovery image. It doesn't help, the screen stays black after I try to boot into recovery mode. I flashed the recovery partition about a hundred times by now. It's still not working. The stock system (Oxygen 3.5.2) and fastboot is working, but in order to update Oxygen, I apparently need a working recovery mode.
I don't care about the data on the phone - I just want a working recovery mode . Can you guys help?
Regards
Which TWRP did you use? Why are you even on 3.5.2 that's some sold stuff.

I think it was TWRP 3.0.2.1. To be honest: I can't tell you how I ended up with 3.5.2, because I did a lot of weird stuff yesterday to fix the problem...
You need modified TWRP
Try this:
Fastboot erase recovery
Fastboot flash recovery modified-recovery.img
