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 have just received the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update but when i try to install it it boots into my custom recovery (TWRP). Would i be able to flash the stock recovery or do i need to flash the stock firmware?

You have to have a stock system partition to update to Lollipop or Marshmallow. You may be able to just flash stock recovery if you haven't done any other modifications.
Thanks i haven't done any other modifications so ill try to flash the stock recovery, do you know where i could get the stock recovery file from?

Download the stock ROM and extract and you should find the stock recovery as recovery.img in the folder.
or how can install updates with the TWRP?
I am on Global stable miui 8.2.4 but for some reasons i don't like it and i wanna downgrade to 8.1.15 . I have Twrp installed and rooted . Can i flash recovery 8.1.15 rom using twrp ?
Or i need to flash a fastboot rom using twrp ?
somebody?
I have flashed stock 8.2.4.0 from 8.2.2.0 with flashfire, although I have twrp too. No problems just put the zip in right folder.
Yes you can. I have flashed both dev and stable. @jazzh mentions something about folders. TWRP doesn't really care about that.
Be warned though that flashing the official zip also replaces the recovery and there is a bug with 8.1.15 where you cannot flash TWRP back afterwards.
If you go back to 8.1.15 and want to use TWRP for flashing a custom rom simply use
fastboot boot [recovery name].img
to soft load TWRP and do all your work from there up.
Yes, that's a good advice.
I soft boot twrp whenever performing backup or updating magisk.
I just mentioned folders because flashfire is started from os and it will look into the ota folder and if it finds the zip it will offer rebooting to perform the update.
I am trying to go back to stock ROM, I need the latest recovery.
I have tried to install recovery with C.01 however that recovery is not able to decrypt the folder, So I am not able to install the complete image from recovery.
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.
