Where are the stock recovery img files located? I updated to the newest recovery and then tried to do the latest OTA update but its getting an error saying that my recovery image is newer than the firmware and it wont update. So I want to try to go back to an older recovery image and then try again.
Thanks
Were you on 2.17? There is no new recovery for 2.18 (which is the newest).
You can download the pre-rooted 2.17 here:

So I am going back to stock so I can get the 3.3 firmware. I read exocetdj's thread on OTA, stock recovery, and nandroid backups. I was able to find the version I need for the OTA and nandroid backup, but not the same version for stock recovery. BUT, in the OTA Zip file, inside the firmware zip file, is a recovery image. Can I use that recovery image? Or should I find a close enough stock recovery image in exocetdj's thread?
Thank you for your help.
Also, do I need to re-lock the bootloader in this process?
1. Recovery.img from OTA - yes
2. Need to relock bootloader - no
recently, i updated to lolipop, i want to back up my stock recovery.img file, for later OTA updates.
because i want to root my phone and install TWRP, please i need a simple way to keep may stock recovery img file.
thank you

You don't need to back it up. When the new future ota is out you download it, install it later and get the firmware zip out of the ota zip and take out the recovery.img out of the firmware zip. That's the stock recovery. So no need to back it up now.
Lollipop has brought back the ability to boot into TWRP. You can boot TWRP, root then back up recovery and boot with flashify.
I'm trying to get ASUS replacement for my device because of the touchscreen. I flashed .139 stock ROM but the recovery version stays on .90. So I flashed .90 stock ROM and tried to update it to .139 but no update is available for me. I then flashed .97 ota zip with adb sideload. The recovery is still version .90. Can anyone with .139 full stock firmware verify your recovery version? Just let me know your recovery version if you have .139 stock ROM installed.
My recovery actually is TWRP, but when I was on stock .139, I'm pretty sure the recovery was .139 too.
Go to the pre-rooted roms section in android developement, you can download the recovery, boot and droidboot images alonside the pre-rooted 139 rom.
You can flash these separately through fastboot, no rooted rom needed to be downloaded/flashed...
Thanks again to Shakalaka...

Hello,
I installed Android 6 GPE RUU from @graffixnyc on my M8, then I installed TWRP recovery. Now theres an OTA Update. The only solution to update without a loosing data is flashing the orignal recovery and then installing the ota. Correct?
But what recovery should I use? I found several images in this forum but I'm not sure which is correct.
Recovery needs to match your OS number or main version number.
You can find recovery.img in the firmware.zip in the OTA zip file
Found the image in an OTA package. Thank you
I just bought this phone and it has TWRP recovery installed and running stock 3.35.401.12
Whenever i try to install the available OTA update it just boots into TWRP and nothing happens. I want the stock recovery image so that i could flash it in TWRP (or any other way) so that i would be able to install the OTA.
Thanks a lot.
