Is it possible to go back to stock on a rooted 5.0 fire, without having to reinstall twrp?
Can I use ADB reboot recovery to go back to 4.5.3?
Yep, just adb reboot into recovery and then sidebar the 4.5.3 rom

Rooting via linux? You can flash an alternative recovery (TWRP) using fastboot (which is available on linux) and from the recovery flash SuperSU which in turn will grant you root access. But since you're already on dev MIUI there's a simple 'Root enable' function built in already (can't remember exactly where it is, I think it's somewhere in the Security app) and there's no real need to flash SuperSU (unless you want more options/granular control). And, the easiest way to install TWRP is indeed by using the Updater app on MIUI (put twrp.zip on root of internal storage -> Updater app and then there should be an option called 'install/update package' or similar).
Cheers.

Since you was running dev miui, btw, if china dev rom and it was rooted. Used flashify which you can downloaded from playstore to flashed twrp.img. if you erer running global dev rom, you need to root it first. The easier was was used windroid in windows, used it to flash twrp and root your phone. Sorry i don't know the rooting method on linur. backup your data by using miui system backup first, But you can just used the phone by flashing china dev rom and used flashify to flash twrp.img.

you can just like in windows via fastboot. If youre phone is not detected on abd devices (like it happended to me) see this: http://en.miui.com/thread-197576-1-1.html . Dont forget to put the phone in "developer" mode.
You can flash TWRP through Flashify, an Android app.
No need to even touch a PC.
Cheers guys i will take a look at flashify. Almost forgot about this gem

you can use tutorial http://www.linuxslaves.com/2015/07/install-android-tools-adb-fastboot-on-ubuntu-linux.html for adb and fastboot installation
No need adb, fastboot, if you have a twrp you can found many supersu zip installable via recovery, if you not have the twrp recovery so you need fastboot and twrp version for your phone
I have the stock ROM MM, rooted, with TWRP recovery.
Is there an app that can flash the stock recovery and then flash back TWRP recovery? I'd like to be able to install OTA updates without a PC.

The problem would be after the OTA is installed you will not have root and all the apps that can flash recovery require root
at some point you need fastboot
You can keep the TWRP in eRecovery and Stock Recovery in main recovery partition, so you'll have dual recoveries.
I just rooted my Nexus 9 using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-9/orig-development/root-t2929118
Now it's stuck on the boot animation.
I had previously flashed the Android 7.0 ota image and it was working fine
How can I fix this?
I'm assuming you had to set up fastboot and/or adb to root so just boot into recovery through adb or phone buttons and side load Google ota. https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/ota (same one you probably flashed)

I had successfully rooted my phone last week. But then due to some apps not working with rooted devices I uproot it using superSU. I want to go back everything to factory settings. Currently I am running stock ROM Software version: 5.9.020S (Marshmallow). I would also like to get back to factory recovery and uninstall TWRP. And also I like to lock my Bootloader. I am confused where I can start on this. I am trying to find "stock recovery file .img" but no luck. I can’t find it anywhere on google. I am aware of installing recovery .img using ADB and Fastboot but I just can't find the recovery img file. I hope I made my question clear. It would be great if you guys can help me out on this. Thanks.

:good:
Can't you just install the stock ROM revision that was on your phone originally, and allow TWRP to be overwritten? IIRC, you don't keep root after installing stock, and the recovery reverts as well, unless you tell it not to.
Hello,
I am a newbie into this.
I want to root the Pad to run some apps that require root access. The bootloader is already unlocked via the miflash unlock tool.
Next I tried to install TWRP 3.4.0.0 via using the guide from twrp.me
https://twrp.me/xiaomi/xiaomimipad4.html
I am able to load the image into recovery section and I am also able to boot into recovery straight after that in order to enter TWRP (using Vol up plus power button as the guide mentioned). But once the Android system is booted up the TWRP bootloader in the recovery section is gone/wiped whatever because the Mi boot menu appears again.
What do I miss out?
It is also recommend to perform a backup in TWRP before rooting (magisk) or flashing a custom rom. The backup fails with a couple of red line "unable to mount...".
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
You are using the stock MIUI right? MIUI will automatically revert recovery back to the stock one. You have to install a custom rom to retain TWRP.

Correct still using stock MIUI. Sadly, that means root and stock MIUI won't work at the same time.

Although I never use stock MIUI, I think you can root normally. You don't need TWRP to maintain root.
