[Q] Stock Recovery for 4.2.2?

In this thread I got a great answer about how to fix a sizing problem with the data partition on my Razr M. You'll need this if you are running CMod, are encrypting, reformat your data partition with TWRP, and want to re-encrypt after the reformat.
There is only one silly problem. I am running CM 10.1, which is 4.2.2. I am also running TWRP 2.6. I can change versions of TWRP as easy as anything, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to return to stock recovery. I really do not want to RSD, since Motorola has been working on how to relock the bootloader, and I don't want to give them that chance. And, of course, if I do RSD back to 4.2.2 stock, I'll have no way to get root back.
What I'd love to do is just to get the 4.2.2 stock recovery image, and flash it with fastboot. But I cannot for the life of me find the 4.2.2 stock recovery image. I have Matt's 4.1.2 stock recovery image, and I actually tried it with his utility, but...yeah. Android with exclamation point. It did not end well.
So, here's the question: is there any way to flash the 4.2.2 stock recovery without RSDing back to stock? Where is that darn disc image?
Thanks!

In my goodies. Stock recov & a prerooted restore method!

Many thanks for the stock recovery. I installed it using Minimal Fastboot and ADB,
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
When I reboot into recovery, I get the green dead android. I re-flashed TWRP 2.6, no problem. What's the catch here?
The only thing I can think of: I did not flash the .zip file from TWRP, but extracted it, got the disc image, and then installed it through Minimal Fastboot and ADB. Is that going to make any difference?
Thanks!

Normally when you boot into stock recovery , you wont be presented with a nice menu. It's almost a hidden menu that you have to pull up...
When you go in and get the Triangle or whatever is there, you will have to press volume + and - and power button to get the menu to display.
Try a few combinations, volume + and - then power, or power then + and -, or all three at the same time. Eventually it will come up.

I was going to offer the xt897 stock recovery. It glides into action & has apply from cache. In goodies also.

Camera not working after root

I first rooted my Nexus 6p that was completely stock using the system less root method. After I flashed the modified boot and twrp and rooted, my camera wasn't working. It just shows the camera icon and a black screen. I looked up the problem and many people said flashing a vendor image would work, but after doing so, it just tells me there was an internal error, so I reflashed the factory images. After doing so, camera still wasn't working. I also saw one person flashed a different modified boot but this only gives me a bootloop. Does anyone know a fix to the camera problem? Thanks!

It's most likely caused by flashing the wrong boot.img, when you flashed the factory images to go back to stock did you flash the boot.img too?

I think I did.. I can try reflashed the stock boot.img again though. But I'm not sure what I did wrong because I just flashed the modified boot necessary for twrp?

TWRP doesn't require a modified boot.img anymore, it hasn't for a long time, unless you're using the Android N dev preview. You also need to ensure that you flash the right boot.img to suit your ROM build. For example, if you flash the MHC19I boot.img on a ROM that's based on MTC19T you'll get problems, like the camera not working.

Unfortunately I re-flashed the factory boot and recovery (using build MTC19T), and the camera is still not working. Do you have any other thoughts? Thanks for your help!

Flash the full factory images (except userdata), then flash the latest TWRP, not boot into TWRP and enter the wipe menu, select advanced wipe, tick the data box and wipe it. Boot up and see if that helps.

Can't Boot to Stock Recovery

I'm on OOS 3.0 and wanting to flash 3.0.1 through stock recovery. I currently have the modified version of TWRP flashed. I'm trying to get stock recovery back but it won't boot into it. It displays the OnePlus logo and hangs there while TWRP runs fine. Can somebody help?
P.S. It's rooted and I haven't tried reflashing the system partition.

Did you solved this? I'm in the same situation and don't know how to get back stock recovery

If u r rooted then without wiping system partition u can't updated oxygen os 3.0.1 or 3.0.2 with stock recovery too .
So if u want to switch oxygen os 3.0.x go thru twrp and first take backup of ur data partition wipe everything except internal memory and flash new oxygen os then restore ur backedup data .

U should also follow the same.

Yes I solved it. It turned out I was using an older modified recovery for OP2.

If you are on OOS + TWRP and want to get back stock recovery:
1. Go into TWRP recovery
2. Go into mount and opt READ ONLY mount
3. Reboot system
OOS will overwrite the recovery with stock recovery during boot

Nougat recovery partition connected to the boot image?

I flashed the magisk uninstaller which puts the original stock boot image on. However doing this has also removed my twrp recovery (my phone is now on stock recovery image). Are the partitions now directly linked in nougat?

No. Nougat automatically overwrites your recovery. If you want TWRP, then you either need a modified boot image, or after you flash TWRP on stock boot image, immediately boot into recovery and root your phone with Super SU.

Getting bootloops no matter what I flash.

I tried to flash Pure Nexus 7.0 today and been trying to fix this the whole day. I get bootloops no matter what I'm installing from scratch, be it 6.0, 7.0, factory 7.0 image, or restoring an old backup. I can boot into bootloader but not sure what to do from here. I even wiped the internal, basically everything. What should I do to solve this?

Have you made sure that you flash boot using fastboot flash boot boot.img?

I just managed to solve the issue. This turned out to be the problem. http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/help/announcement-twrp-3-0-2-1-fatal-bug-t3453119
I managed to be one of the few unlucky ones who stepped into this bug, unfortunately.
