I am going to do an experiment(flashing TWRP.img on boot partition and trying to root.) to backup stock recovery.img of Lollipop 5.1. To do this, I need stock boot.img(Kernel Version: 3.4.42-gccbac57) of system version 23.26.2. If there's someone who rooted system version 23.26.2 then take backup of boot.img using Rashr App(Download from here forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2334554 ) and post that stock boot.img here.
If this experiment succeed then I will post stock recovery.img of lollipop 5.1.
UPDATE: I'm not going to do this experiment because temporary booting of twrp is now working on moto e. We can root device by temporary booting twrp and backup stock recovery.img
isn't there anyone who rooted 23.26.2 ?
I have 23.21.34 version i can give you if you want...

It's simple, you just have to extract the boot.img from any ota zip (suggested the official OTA zip)
Do that and give him then.......it will be very good if he can make the 5.1 stock recovery

First of all, you must clarify who is referred to as 'him'?
Secondly, there is no method(according to me) by which you can make a stock recovery from a stock kernel. There are two files namely the boot.img and the recovery.img.
First one is the kernel and the second one is the recovery.
Use the ones you like.
Him meant the op
I don't know if one can make recovery from boot.img.......The op didn't say that either....He said and i quote "I am going to do an experiment to backup stock recovery.img of Lollipop 5.1. To do this, I need stock boot.img(Kernel Version: 3.4.42-gccbac57) of system "
So i thought by using some process he may be able to back up stock recovery....that is why i said like that
and BTW where are those .img files available @Rohitagni

U can find them in any zipped firmware files. By zipped firmware files, I mean the zips for stock firmware, or the update zips that many XDA users capture here from their rooted phones to help users who haven't received the OTA, enjoy the new OS, simply by sideloading.

I'm not making recovery.img from boot.img. I will use boot.img to make my device functional again because I'm going to flash TWRP.img on boot partition and try to root. If device gets root access then I can backup stock recovery.img because stock recovery.img is not over written in process of rooting.
I hope you succeed.........I try to get it from someone
And no @Rohitagni you can't extract boot.img from uploaded update zips but from full firmware zips,yes which is not available
I just saw in general section someone uploaded twrp backup of stock latest 5.1......I can flash that and give the boot.img tomorrow @EthicalHacker

I am extremely sorry, for misleading you guys! I just found out that the fsg.bin and the gpt.bin (with logo.bin, etc) are the only things that are available in those zips. So yes, @cksup, you are correct. Please provide him with the kernel, so that miracles can happen

I think, the twrp backup; you're talking about is Brazilian. So be careful.
any one found the way to flash twrp on stock 5.1 lollipop previous method don't work.

Use latest twrp.img and SuperSU zip to root.
And if you have 23.26.2 version then you may help me by posting stock boot.img here.

Hey before you flash TWRP can you do something ....... can you dump for recovery partition and save it in sd card and post it here ....
hey i have a XT1025 on the 5.1 ota update, untouched, and how can i root my device?

We can't dump stock recovery without root access and moto e has only one rooting method which is flashing custom recovery on recovery partition. It means we lose stock recovery when we get root access.
That's why I'm taking risk of above mentioned experiment to backup stock recovery.

I have a backup of stock 5.1( 23.26.2) kernel and recovery, I took backup from rashr app after rooting my moto e, and I didnt flash twrp for rooting I boot into twrp, should I upload stock kernel or recovery?
Sent from my Xperia E3 using XDA Free mobile app
So I flashed TWRP onto my phone the other night, wouldn't flash with fastboot. Found a TOT file and flashed that which worked, however I can only get into recovery by using adb commands. I can't do it from the phone at all. And whenever I try to flash a ROM I just get error 7. I don't know what's going on with this, but I feel like my TWRP install was probably done wrong or it was a bad file or something. But I was looking all over to find out how to do it. My phone's on stock 6.0 currently. I guess what I'm looking for is a way to flash everything back to stock first, then go about flashing a recovery and a ROM from there.

thanks for the link! I'll give it a try as soon as I can.
Hi guys,
I am using the link below to perform the restore to stock from CM13 but I think I am not interpreting the questions in this post correctly.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/how-to/guide-kiw-l24-to-stock-t3318268
I tried to follow them to get my Honor 5x back to stock rom (while still keeping TWRP) and it was a no go. I kept getting stuck in a boot loop. I was able to immediately reflash CM13 though and get it functionaly. Would someone be kind enough to verify for me as to what steps exactly I need to follow (including ROM names, etc.)? I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks.
@DigiGoon here's a person needing your help
I have a couple questions for you:
1) Before flashing CM13, what stock firmware version were you on? (e.g. b130, b140, b151, b331)
2) Before flashing CM13, did you take a NANDROID backup of your stock setup? Most guides have this step.
Follow these steps, and you'll get your stock ROM back.
Download your phone's latest firmware and extract system.img, boot.img, recovery.img, cust.img from UPDATE.APP using Huawei Update Extractor tool.
Boot into bootloader mode by switching off the phone then pressing only the Vol DOWN button, and connecting it to PC simultaneously.
Flash recovery first, using this command.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Flash all other extracted files similarly firing these commands.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash system system.img
After doing this put that very UPDATE.APP from which you extracted the files in dload folder of your external SDCARD.
Switch off your phone, and press Vol UP + Vol DOWN + Power button simultaneously.
Your device will now get to the full stock firmware.
Hope this helps you.
@DigiGoon
You are a lifesaver. That seems to have done the trick. Thanks a lot man!

There is also a full, latest twrp, recovery backup o.o for b331
You restore everything except data, erecovery, and recovery... 1.6 gig download o.o does the job in one fell swoop as long as you have latest twrp.
Just did this the other day...

It replaces the TWRP, and if you are flashing stock via 3 button method, then there is no way you can keep it, but if you are getting on stock by flashing individual files then just dont flash the recovery file and you will just have the TWRP alone.

Three button method is nothing but by placing update.app in /sdcard/dload/
And then put off the phone followed by pressing vol down+vol up+ power button . This will let it install full stock rom and phone looks brand new in terms of software

As @gopinaidu77 said about three button method, its just that. And about the other one, in that you have to extract all the important img files from UPDATE.APP and flash it via fastboot commands.

Oh yeah, I have restored it already. I made a nandroid backup, and so when it happened, I just rebooted into fastboot and reflashed TWRP, then restored my phone from the backup. Not sure which build. Wondering what went wrong? And how I can successfully convert to stock

Extract UPDATE.APP via Huawei Update Extractor tool, pull out relevant img files (system.img, boot.img, recovery.img, recovery2.img(if not in your device), cust.img) flash this one by one via fastboot by booting your device in fastboot mode, fire the given below commands.
Code:
fastboot flash <img name w/o extension> <full path to the relevant img file>
After this try the three button method, if it doesn't work then boot into eRecovery then tap "Download Latest Firmware". It will connect to Wi-Fi and will start downloading the latest firmware of your device. After the process gets completed you'll be on stock ROM with your bootloader in "Locked" state.
You are guiding wrong bro . There is a need of extension too. Else it will give error saying file not found
CUST issue
Hi,
I tried to do the same, Boot.img, system.img and recovery.img are flashed successfully but I cannot flash CUST.img, following error occurs, please help.
it says: while writing 'cust'...,

Please help, thanks in advance.
Hi there
I bricked my Huawei Honor 7i (ATH-UL06) while trying to root it, I only have TWRP in it now, whatever combination of keys I use to turn it on, it always goes to TWRP. So I wanted to know if there a way to make the stock rom (from the official website) into a flashable zip file, to install it through TWRP. The stock one is a .app file "UPDATE.app".
Here's the link: http://download-c1.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=91392&siteCode=cl
I hope you guys can help me, I can't think of any other way to do it.
There's supposed to be a way using SP flashtool, but I'm not sure if it works, I don't remember where to get the scatter file for it, and besides, for that I think I've to put it in fastboot mode, but the keys for that take it into TWRP, so wouldn't work, I think(?).
Please, help :'c

yes, but its a complicated process,
but you can also extract the .app file and manually flash boot.img, system.img through twrp or through fastboot

I successfully used it for honor 7 but don't know about honor 7i you should try on multi tool thread
It's ok. I was going to, but ended up using Huawei Update Extractor to get the stock boot.img. Then installed it through TWRP, and rebooted to bootloader to get into fastboot. With that I only needed to flash system.img and recovery.img to get it unbricked. Took me a lot of time, but I got the phone back. I'll be uploading a flashable backup of the stock rom soon, so others can get it faster.
Thanks anyway.

I could not find any custom Roms for your device.
I could find an stock Rom for the Mya-l41 trough.
Here is an link: https://mega.nz/#!wKpT1ZaS!CV-2E4sNnUwIurskAdqCDpDawWlZD2UeABtSELk_ffc
That should be an update.app or an flashable zip.
You may get Huawei Update Extractor and extract the system.img and boot.img of the update.app
After that flash system.img and boot.img from fastboot.
Warning. This may soft brick your device.
Good luck.

Fastboot flash system system.img
ok, so i found what i thought was a stock rom for my device on some spanish forum and used sp flash tool to install it
problem is, sp flash tool formatted my phone, but encountered an error trying to install the firmware and now my phone wont boot and windows says its not recognised
is there any fix to this? or is my phone bricked?
hey again! i know this post has been a wild ride of me doing stupid stuff and bricking my phone, but i got the firmware back!
only catch is that i'm receiving some nvram error (which i got on my previous phone too. i swear this is the last time im going mediatek), so if anybody has a method that can fix this it'd be highly appreciated
thanks
Hi, Ibxda.
Can you please share with us where you found the stock rom, what went wrong with flashing, and how you managed to get the firmware back?
I have a running system, but I rooted it and cannot apply official upgrades. I'd like to go back, upgrade and root again. I would appreciate the info on your progress.

You should root with Magisk, it's systemless and it should not affect updates. If you want to update you should flash stock recovery. After you updated you are free to flash Twrp again if you want. If you are rooted with SuperSU you should uninstall SuperSU and install Magisk
