I cant seem to figure out how to remove twrp and get back the stock recovery. I need to for a specific reason.
Is there anywhere I can get the stock recovery.img and just install with fastboot?

This thread has the recovery.img file for both 5.1.1 and 6.0 versions of the stock rom in the first post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/development/pure-firmware-tuff-wip-t3224833
You can always download your stock image, all the versions are out there on the interwebs except the latest ones with the Sept 1, 2016, security patches (those will be a month or 2 in coming I imagine), and the ZIP firmware image contains the recovery.img file you are looking for.

I want to install my stock recovery to be able to download OTA updates using my stock themed firmware but I can't figure out how to install the recovery.img that i got from my official firmware. I already tried to flash it using odin & through twrp recovery but the file is not supported. Can anybody convert my recovery.img into a flashable file?

Hi,
Look HERE
Flashing the stock firmware for your phone will also flash stock recovery and stock kernel.

I am currently using stock firmware and stock kernel but my recovery is twrp. I want to restore my stock recovery without affecting my root and modified system files.

You will need to find a stock recovery only image that can be installed by ODIN.

I was able to extract my stock recovery.img from my stock firmware but it is formatted as Disc Image File. I am wondering if its possible to convert it to other format so that i can flash it via odin or recovery.

You can`t flash the extracted stock recovery with Odin but you can with Mobile Odin Pro from your phone. It also flashes .img files. Did it myself on the I9505.

Try with this fastboot command.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery /path/to/recovery

I tried to flash recovery.img that i extracted from my stock firmware via mobile odin pro but got some problems. After boot logo, it goes back to the setup wizard like when you open your phone for the first time. I can't also proceed with the wizard since i'm getting an error like secsettings stopped responded.
Hi i have installed TWRP on my phone but I can't use OTA. I want to ask - if i download lollipop rom from samsung, extract stock recovery.img from ROM archive - will it work flashed by flashify?
Since you need to download a ROM anyway to get the stock recovery image, you might as well get the latest ROM for your device and not bother with the OTA. Simply download the complete and latest ROM package for your device from sammobile.com or samsung-updates.com and flash it through Odin. Afterwards, root if desired and replace the stock recovery with TWRP.
If I install custom recovery (via odin) my stock recovery will be gone right. So, how do I backup my current stock recovery.img so that I can recover it later? I was looking for the answer on many threads and most xda members suggest to use the 'fastboot' method (which temporarily injected the custom recovery and return the stock recovery immediately). But this fastboot method does not work with Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-9005. Is there any other alternative how to backup the stock recovery?
EDIT: the alternative method that I can think of is to use Flashify app. It can backup the stock recovery image but, in other to use this app, I must be root. and in other to root i must install custom recovery.. and.... yeah I lost the stock recovery.. this is the problem.
Reflash the official rom

Hmmm.. here is my situation. I have the official ROM KitKat. It contains the kitkat stock recovery.img. I updated my phone to Lollipop and I believe it has updated my recovery.img to lollipop version (I found it has more options than the KitKat version). I cannot find the official ROM of my phone. My question is,
where can I find the official lollipop ROM? I just received it via OTA. Does reflashing the ROM will backup my recovery.img? I mean I want to obtain this recovery.img file.
Android System Recovery <3e>: LRX21V.N9005DXUGBOD1
rom try sammobile or samsung- updates .
never ever heard of a backed up recovery .
Hello, today i downloaded the latest stable KK rom, and the China miui8 to do some tests in the new China rom, but couldnt flash because there was a error of "cant find flash_all, flash_except_storage, or even flash_except_data_storage. Bats. So i looked into the zip and there was no bats inside the folder.
I know i can simply try to flash via TWRP, but if i do that can i be able to reflash 4.4 rom via TWRP too if i want to come back? Last time i flashedLP bootloader , it wouldnt let me come back via recovery to KK bootloader. Only via miflash. Please give me some clarification if any of you already tried it! :laugh:
Maybe you are using the wrong rom update package. The recovery rom is different from fastboot rom. If you are trying to flash this "miui_HM2XWC_6.6.23_a0619b1eb0_4.4" package then this is for recovery procedure only. You should download the fastboot (rom) version.

I downloaded both ones, LP rom for recovery and about 3 KK rom for fastboot(miflash). But the fastboot ones are missing the bat files, so i cant flash.
If you have any full download link please share xD

We need to know your model #. (Ex. 2014817 in my case) because flashing wrong model # of rom will give you problems with (service provider) radio signals.
I'm only downloading from official MIUI site.
I put TWRP on it but I'd like to be able to go back to the stock recovery without flashing the whole stock rom.
edit: stock lollipop recovery for 8.0
Find your rom online(just google "sm-**** stock rom"), Open the rom with 7-zip. There is going to be a file called recovery.img. You can flash that with TWRP
I recommend samsungbay.com. It has faster download speeds
