I'm having trouble finding an answer to this. I have TWRP recovery installed and want to revert to Stock. According to the TWRP website, all I have to do is install the stock recovery over TWRP.
However, the problem I'm having is finding a way to do this with out doing a complete factory reset and/or firmware flash. Is there somewhere I can find just the stock recovery. I've been googling and looking through the forums for the past 45 minutes and can't seem to find anything.
Thanks!
The only way I know how to do it is Odin the stock firmware. But if you can do that or not will depend what phone you have and what firmware you're on. You'll have to do a factory reset and will lose data do you'll need to backup first.
I didn't want to Odin back to stock as that wipes data. I ended up downloading the stock TAR firmware, extracting the recovery.img and running this command via Heimdall:
Code:
heimdall flash --RECOVERY "C:\path\to\recovery.img" --no-reboot
Hope this helps.

Once you installed TWRP, did you use it? Did you make a backup of your stock handset? Well good for you! Now before you go and follow directions and flash your recovery, I always use MyBackup Pro, which requires root to work. It allows you to restore your call log and all your text and picture messages if you ever should like them back. Once you go back to stock, you'll have to root again and go get the MyBackup Pro again from the Play store, but at least you can retrieve everything. Do the flash like the directions says in TWRP, but plan ahead.
You gotta flash dude. It's the only way.
Just make sure everything is in order before you swipe that little slider bar. After you swipe the slider bar to flash your backup that you made of your stock setup, that's exactly what will happen. Like brand new right out of the box. You won't show any sign of TWRP and your "stock recovery" will return.
You did make a backup first thing after installing TWRP right? It was 3.56 GB and it wouldn't fit on phone storage so I had to save mine to the external SD card.
If you're on stock (not a custom ROM) with only a custom recovery, ODIN to stock should not wipe your phone. If you're on a custom ROM and you ODIN to stock, it will wipe.
Either way, you should do a Nandroid backup first...then if you aren't happy with the results, you can install a custom recovery again and Nandroid back to where you were to start. Just make sure when you go back to stock you don't end up getting the MF3 update!

Ok, so I flashed a custom rom and kernal and all went wel except my contacts didn't sync. I couldn't pull them from my Nandroid or my Tibu backup. So I tried to flash the backup I did last night and it failed. So I tried to flash another backup from earlier and it said successful in TWRP but it wouldn't boot after. I tried to go back into recovery only to realize that I no longer have my custom recovery. I do have a working stock recovery though.I'm kind of in a jam here and really need the help guys. I probably should have just cut my losses with the contacts.
More details. I flashed Danv's ASOP Kitkat 4.4 with the latest Ktoonez kernal successfully. I tried to recover my stock rooted 1337m 4.3 rooted with Saferoot. It won't boot into it. Maybe the difference in kernal has an issue with that or would that have been taken care of in my Nandroid flash?
Going forward, I'm thinking about another factory wipe and going into download mode with Odin and flashing my stock 1337m firmware to the phone and booting up. I'm just looking for a little direction here since I got in a bit over my head. I thought I did it all by the book by doing a Nandroid,and Tibu backup, and backing Tibu up to Google drive and my SD card, but clearly something didn't go right and now I'm on the ropes. I just want a working phone again. I can't sleep lol. I'm serious.
Tough crowd eh? So I'm hanging at my boot screen after successfully restoring my Nandroid backup in TWRP. I've lost my custom recovery but I got root before I did through TWRP. If I did a factory reset in the stock recovery, could this potentially fix my boot hang? Or is flashing back to stock 4.3 in Odin the only option? Or is there another method I can force it to boot? I'l be honest: not having my custom recovery and going into the unknown is nerve racking here knowing I don't have my get out of **** card to save my ass. Can I push my Nandroid backup and relfash it through Odin?

Tbh I would flash back to stock via a verified stock fw via odin, Reroot, reinstall cwm/twrp, and then flash rom from that point.
Ive never had luck recovering backups cross rom. Whether Nandroid or tb.

Having some issues getting a recovery to be flashed on this new device, I am not use to a phone that when rooted doesn't have some stock recovery that actually works. And by that I mean, allows me to install zip from file. All I get is the option to reboot, flash from adb, install from external, wipe factory reset, wipe cache, and install from cache.
Sorry if this has been asked a few times before, but with my searching I didn't find any one answer that solved my problem. Tried flashing a recovery via odin but it said Auth fail for the recovery. Going to try a few other things and see what I can come up with.
Thanks in advanced!
What recovery are you trying to flash? I believe the closet thing we have to a custom recovery is safestrap. Is that what your trying to install?

It sounds like you flashed philz touch recovery witch will not work with the VZW S5 you need to flash SafeStrap Recovery. You might need to Odin back to stock and re root your device to get it back to normal first.

I didn't flash anything when I first started rooting the phone I just used towelroot, then when the OTA messed it up I went and did the NCG to NE9 method using odin and towelroot. But every time I went into recovery, it has been the same. It wasn't until I used the toolkit from the forums that installed safestrap and busybox did I actually get a different recovery, but even if I reboot into recovery it still takes me to the stock one first and then on reboot i can access safestrap.
Yes, that's how safestrap works, through a process called "bootstrapping". It never replaces your stock recovery so when you boot into recovery it'll always be stock but upon boot you'll be presented with the safestrap option.....totally normal
On another note, my Supersu binaries wont update so I'm going back to stock anyway. I think I may leave it at stock for a while until I see some more ROMs come out.

Your other option is what I have done. I first went the safestrap route but installed rom on rom slot before finding out about the bugz in safestrap. So I odined back to stock. Instead of installing something with bugz in it I rooted, installed supersu and Xposed framework with some modules. Wanam module gives you most of the customizations found in custom roms. Tons of other modules for pretty much anything you want to tweak. Works like a champ on stock system.
I have the s5 900f. I'm not new to custom ROMs and thought I'd give one a go for the s5.
Done system backup with twrp and flashed bliss. The ROMs is but I preferred the stock. Anyway I done a full wipe and then selected the restore. All seems to go well and the restore completes. But when restart the phone it starts to boot then fails. No error message or anything. OK I know I can flash another stock rom but I had the back just how I wanted it with all my settings and customisation.
I read a lot about the partitions being changed with a custom rom which can cause a restore to fail. I will flash a stock ROM then once I get it working I will try a restore again. Do I need to flash the pit file?
OK so previously have had htcs. On those I had to flash the bootloader via fastboot and then flash the ROM from recovery. Is it right that with the s5 the bootloader is bundled and flashed with the custom ROM? So when I reflashed the backup the phone still had the bootloader from the customer ROM? Can someone confirm if that is correct or not? I know how to fix my phone but I also like to learn and under stand what happenened.
Just flash the G900F PIT file along with a stock ROM in ODIN
PIT files should be avoided there are many risks while flashing them, albeit the procedure is as easy as it gets.
I would recommend getting Titanium Backup (i have the pro version so i don't know whether what i'm about to suggest is available in the free version or not) and then using titanium to "Extract from Nandroid backup" in the Main Menu and scrolling down to Special Backup/Restore
Hi Guys, I downloaded the stock rom from sammymobile and flashed it via odin. It also reset my recovery to stock as well but was is easy enough to fix
I then made sure the reactivation lock was turned off and reflashed my recovery back and I then reflashed my original backup recovery and success!
Tp recap if anyone else has this problem....
Download and flash the original stock rom,
Boot the phone and turn off the reactivation lock (you dont need to bother with account setup)
Flash the recovery (must be the same one you used for your backup)
Flash your saved backup
Done
Hopefully this gelps someone who finds themselves in my pickle.
To be honest after coming from HTCs I never appreciated the differences when it comes to rooting, customs roms etc. I now do!
I bought this phone used and the person who had it before me it rooted and installed some of different ROMs on it. After getting my used moto x pure 2015 running android 6.0. I booted it up and tested all the functions (including downloading a few apps) Wi-Fi, camera, audio/charging jacks ext. Everything worked fine. So did normal factory reset (not using TWRP) just to make sure everything was clean before using it as my daily. Then, (BUM BUM BUM!) when I tried to start downloading all my apps. None of them would download even though the Wi-Fi was working. Error 492 I think.
I started trying custom ROMs because I was having two big issues (apps not downloading and incoming call not bringing up accept/decline screen) with my stock rom. and wanted to fix those issues with a fresh stock image.
This is all new to me and has not been as easy as anticipated. If anyone knows a clean factory image I could flash or a fail proof fix to error 492 that would be helpful. I really just want to return to fully working Motorola stock android, but the files I have used haven’t fixed the issue. I have searched for a factory image without finding one…
Is there a way to flash the Motorola image through TRWP?
Otherwise, maybe you can help me with my flashing method, and maybe tell me what I am doing wrong. I tried to flash multiple stock images all with the same issue. I have also tried to flash Resurrection Remix, and Brocken OS, both having resulted in a bootloop. I am starting to think I have done something wrong. The steps I have taken so far have been these:
My bootloader is unlocked status code 3.
My phone is not rooted. Do I need root?
First I downloaded adb and fastboot.
Then I flashed TWRP (3.0.2).
I never installed the official Motorola stock image because flashing it from fast boot wouldn’t work and it couldn’t be flashed with TWRP because it is a .gz not a .zip. (I knew a .gz needs to be flashed with fastboot but I knew TWRP was easer so I didn’t fuss with it)
After flashing TWRP to my phone, I downloaded (yes, I checked the md5) the various ROMs to my computer then transfered them to my phone via micro SD card.
Here are the file’s names if that matters:
moto_x_pure_edition_stock_x1575_mphs24.49-18-3_v1-odexed
(booted and Wi-Fi but play store won’t download apps)
moto_x_pure_edition_stock_x1575_mph24.49-18_v1-odexed
(booted but no Wi-Fi)
Broken-v4.9.1-clark-6.0.1-OFFICIAL-20160824 (with Broken_gapps_lp5.1.x_09172015)
(Brocken was the only non-stock that got past boot, but I still couldn’t get past set up without an error and never made it to the system.)
ResurrectionRemix-N-v5.8.0-20161220-clark (7.1 gapps failed to flash but I booted it anyway.)
(boot loop after both of my tries)
I got Wi-Fi working on one of the above stock ROMs (so I KNOW it works) but couldn’t even turn Wi-Fi on in all the others.
The method I used to flash all of the above files in TWRP was:
Wipe
Full wipe (davlik cache, data, system, cache)
(used for RR and Brocken)
Factory reset (using TWRP) (davlik cache, data , cache)
Used for the stock ROMs or even after flashing .zip file I got the error: no OS installed.
Install
Select file of ROM flash (gapps if needed) and flash
I can’t remember which ones but on some of them after flashing I again did a factory reset.
Then I rebooted
Thanks for reading. Sorry it was so long. I tried to add as much useful information as possible. Hopefully someone smarter than me will see my error(s) and help me get my phone into fully working order.

I'm having a similar issue. Tried the TruPure rom but I want to switch back to stock. If I do a full wipe, would I be able to use the files that Motorola provides on their website and flash those throught fastboot? Or through TWRP? Any chance you have a link to a guide on how to do the latter option (installing through TWRP)? I'm just trying to get my device back to 100% stock so that I can receive OTA.

Thank you for sharing that link. I think I get it but it seems too easy considering what I've tried so far. Just to make sure I get it:
I should download the odexed rom, go to twrp and wipe data, cache and dalvik then flash the odexed rom through the install function? And thats it? I've literally tried a ton of stuff so if this takes care of it, this is great!

So I remember seeing a recovery.img file in the factory image that motorola posted on its site. Does it have to be a specific stock recovery or do I need a specific one to match with the file I just installed?

I then did the power button and volume up and got into stock android recovery. Am I supposed to see the android character with ! each time I try to reach the recovery menu? Just wondering if I did this correctly.

I have a Moto X Style XT1572 Indian version. I updated it to stock Nougat 7.0 via OTA when it was rolled out in India. Later in January I unlocked the bootloader and installed unofficial TWRP recovery for flashing custom ROMs. I did take a full backup of stock ROM immediately when I installed the recovery. Since then I'm using custom ROMs built for Nougat modem.
At present, how can I go back to stock Nougat? I did do a full wipe (except internal memory) and tried to restore the stock Nougat backup which I took in January. The backup always gets successfully restored. However, when the phone boots up completely and reaches the language selection screen(the first screen when the phone boots up), the phone reboots and goes into a bootloop just displaying the bootloader unlocked screen. The only option I have then is to flash any custom ROM again and they do work perfectly. So what must be restricting the stock backup to boot? Also, is there any other way to go back to stock Nougat?
anyone, please?

This thread looks like it has the nougat full firmware package for your phone. Try fastboot flashing all of it: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/general/xt1572firmwareclarkretasiaindiads7-t3735257
If that doesn't work out, here's another trick I've seen work on occasion. Restore your TWRP backup, but do not reboot into it. After restoring the backup, use TWRP to flash stock recovery, then reboot to recovery and do a factory reset with the stock recovery. Then reboot into the stock rom. That can clear up some internal storage problems that hang things up. There are other ways to do it, but this is easiest.
