Is there an easy way to return to the latest stock rom or the one before the latest? When I received the M I have it didn't have the stock rom on it or a backup of the stock rom so I was hoping there was a way to return to stock but still keep my unlocked boot loader and re-root.
My goal is to return to stock, root, install recovery, make a backup so I have a stock backup then flash the current rom I'm using now. If anyone has or could tell me the steps I need I would appreciate it. I don't want to lose the boot loader unlock so I won't be able to install roms

It's impossible to re-lock your bootloader. You can use Avi's solution, you can flash the FXZ from here http://sbf.droid-developers.org/scorpion_mini_xt907/list.php and re-root witth Motochopper or by flashing SU in recovery, or you can use Matt's utility 1.20 to flash to stock. There is also a pre-rooted, de-bloated ROM here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2408763 and stock flashable ROM here http://batakang.com/ftp/?dir=devs/mhous33/XT907.
Your easiest bet is to use Avi's solution or flash one of the last 2 ROMs I listed. If you FXZ back to stock or use Matt's utility, you'll need to re-install your aftermarket recovery. With the last 2 ROMs, they can simply just be flashed in your aftermarket recovery.

TWRP doesn't touch the bootloader. /boot refers to the boot partition which includes the kernel and initial ramdisk. The bootloader is on a separate partition.
In addition, kitkat and lollipop bootloaders are similar enough that the TWRP and custom kernels work same on both.
Do keep in mind that if you flash stock ROM through Odin, it will replace your recovery with Samsung's stock, so you need to reflash TWRP.

Depends on what you mean.
If you are just talking about the bootloader, you can flash that and the radio through Odin separately.
If you are talking about the ROM, then typically you would flash stock through Odin.
If you are talking about custom ROMs, then you don't need to care about which bootloader you have.

Hi All,
A couple of days back, I installed custom ROM (Recreated Remix Leopard) successfully on Zenfone 5. I was on the stock lollipop 3.24.40.87 firmware before that. I rooted, unlocked Bootloader and installed TWRP recovery on the stock ROM and I also took a nandroid backup. After using the custom ROM, I decided to go back to the stock ROM. I used the nandroid backup for restoring and got the stock ROM. But, now I want to go back to the stock Kitkat ROM (as the lollipop sucks) and I also don't want the custom recovery or anything. In short, I want to revert my phone to the real factory condition.
I tried to go back to Kitkat by the ASUS official method. But that didn't work. Then I tried to re-lock the Bootloader with the tool from which I unlocked it. But when I did that, I got stuck on the USB logo screen. So, I unlocked it again with the same tool and the phone starts normally. So, how do I get back now?
What would happen if I flash the stock ROM via TWRP? Will it remove the custom recovery and lock the Bootloader?
I read a couple of articles, a few of them suggested to install the stock ROM with the official ASUS method (copy the files in internal storage and the phone will notify to install the update). The article even says that by this method any custom modifications (recovery, root, Bootloader) will be deleted. Is it true or will this work?
Thanks in advance!

Link rom WW 3.24.40.87 modded, flash via TWRP: drive.google.com/open?id=0B7Py5ad2aHwKMHRsZ1NJM0tfLTQ
If you flash this rom, it will not remove the custom recovery + lock the Bootloader
If you having a problem while flashing this rom, you need to flash stock recovery 2.22.40.54, after that you can sideload stock rom via ADB
Sorry for my bad english ^^

Hi, thank you for the reply
You said WW 3.24.40.87 modded, do you mean that this rom is not the official one? Does it improves the battery life and other bugs of the stock rom?
I really appreciate your help!
You cannot flash stock rom via TWRP!
This is modded rom, so you can flash it via TWRP easily....
It's Official rom from Asus, just modded to be able flash through TWRP

Thank you for the info
But the thing is that I am already on the stock 3.24.40.87 rom and I want to go back to Kitkat 2.22.40.54 because it has much more improved battery performance than the lollipop. Is there any modded version of the stock Kitkat rom too? Or how do I go back to it?

Hey guys.
I have just unlocked the bootloader on my p9 and am about to flash TWRP and root. It got me thinking:
Is there a way to return it to complete stock if want to just in case? I've seen firmware lying around on the forum, but does it return the phone completely to stock? And in that case, how do exactly do I flash it?
And furthermore, is there a way to backup the stock recovery image?
Yes, you can unlock/lock bootloader, procedure is similar...
And you can flash stock recovery again, is not need to backup, around is a toolkit who do what you want (unlock/lock, root, flash stock recovery etc)...
Yes, flashing the stock ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/development/stock-firmware-links-t3468245) will relock the bootloader
Guys Please help me. I am having Moto X Play (XT1562 dual sim version) which is unlocked bootloader, TWRP recovery, Rooted and Xposed framework flashed. Rom is stocked rom. Now I would like to revert to the stock recovery with stocked rom. How could I do it.
Once I installed Cyanogenmod Rom for my device and i returned to stock rom as per guidelines provided by senior member. I have all those files that needed at that time. but that is for whole ROM but now for me I need only stock recovery. Can I flash only recovery.img file that I extracted from stock factory image?
Please advice.
yes, you need to flash recovery.img from stock firmware. just make sure it's intendended for your phone model.

AFAIK you can't revert your phone to fully locked state (your warranty will be void no matter what you do), you can only re-lock it. Hre's a thread about it:

I just need to start fresh on my A510FD and I was wondering if I could simply flash the stock firmware to get rid of TWRP. I have a backup of the original recovery. The question I'm trying to ask is: can you remove TWRP by flashing stock firmware or do you need the backup of the original recovery. If not, could anyone provide me with some instructions on how to flash my stock recovery? Thanks a lot everyone!
