i always do this to get back to miui and it works. By the way which rom are you currently on? and which recovery you use.explain everything.

Best way
1.fastboot Stock ROM
2.Root,Install Custom Recovery(i prefer flashify,take a backup of stock recovery)
3.Backup using custom recovery.(copy backup to PC/OTG,no need for 32GB cards)
4.flash desired rom.
5.Migrate data using Nandroid Manager/Titanium Backup.
6.If don't like ROM,restore stock from recovery.
7.if you dont want custom recovery too,restore from flashify
8.Unroot
Ta Da,Back to out of the box
Done

Why you need stock recovery, if you have included 2ndinit in custom roms. 2nd: if you want to restore stock recovery, you'll need to start from scratch...

stock recovery is available through bootmenu (2nd or 3rd option). So reboot in bootmenu.

Because when i have cm 10 (2nd-boo) stock recovery work , I try install cm7 official (2nd-init) but i can enter to cwm but stock recovery don't work.
If this not cause problem, I stay whit this rom and work whit cwm recovery
If I want restore recovery? I flash sbf file whit ROM stock?

In that case you need to start from begining: flash sbf. etc. because I dunno if you find a bootloader.img to flash.

Stock recovery disappeared, it's happen sometimes when using custom roms. No clue too.
But it's not even a problem, you don't need stock recovery if you're using custom roms. Custom/stable recovery work it all.
You only need Stock recovery once you want to revert back to stock roms.
When you flash stock SBF successfully Stock recovery will work again! (and let you wipe to gracefully boot into rom.)
So, you plan to return to stock? If not, stop this worries until you planned to.

Help change stock recovery / revert to stock recovery (CWM based recovery) [SOLVED]

Hello friends,
I have rooted Galaxy i9505 international. Installed CWM based recovery 6.0.3.2(0611), and flashed last stable CM (cm-10.2.1-jfltexx).
Boot time have become longer (way longer) since installing CWM based recovery.
Couldn't find a decent post about how to:
1) Revert back to stock recovery.
or
2) Change the CWM based recovery to official CWM.
Anyone know how to do either?
Or maybe had the same problem with CWM based recovery?

Did you consider trying a different recovery (PhilZ) or a different ROM?
Look for a recovery you want to try if its a zip file flash it with CWM and if its odin file flash it with odin.

The latest CM snapshot booted a bit faster.
Actually after all those attempts I can't really remember how long did it take to boot before installing CWM..
But it does seems slower.

I prefer to flash the original CWM.
How can I flash it on top of the CWM based recovery?
Files there are img files.
Look in xda development section you will find it zip format or i think you can download a zip file of another recovery and the replace the recovery within the zip file with the one you want to flash.
If you want to flash it in .img format you can do that with heimdall but you will need the pit file of 19505 too.

Could not find any ZIP of the official Clockworkmod Recovery.
Is there any other way to install it?
Or better yet, a way to revert to stock recovery (from there I can install as in the beginning)?
Btw, is it ok to just replace recovery? Or should I "uninstall" my old recovery before installing the new one?

Just for future knowledge, does anyone knows how to revert to stock recovery?

Hi,
You will get stock recovery if you flash a stock firmware.
There are also some stock recoveries listed HERE

[Q] [Newbie Question] In what order do I update recovery/rom/kernel/root

Heya,
After some months using stock rom decided I wanna juice it up.
I used to flash roms on my S2 a lot, but its been a while.
I see all kind of install instructions in threads saying I need to have root before I can install that or that, but currently my phone is not rooted.
I wiped it clean using factory reset, so I guess I am good to do.
What do I do first and how (download mode / just open up a zip from my phone)
The end goal is have a rooted phone with some neat rom (Currently downloaded Pardus HD Rom, but didn't install anything yet).
Thanks

thanks for this, but I still have some doubts!
Should I do a nandroid backup if I ever want to go back to stock? or LG has another way of backing up?
My real question is, if I flash TWRP then If I have to go back to stock would it help to have a backup of my phone and just restore from TWRP? and when restoring the backup how I get the stock recovery?
thank you again
Creating a nandroid from recovery (TWRP, CWM, etc.), then restoring the backup, will not revert the phone back to "stock" condition. If you need to unroot and / or revert to stock recovery, then you'll need to use either the *.kdz or *.tot method to do so. A nandroid backup saves the following...
The operating system itself (so you can make a copy of your stock or custom ROM and return to it if desired)
All apps (including those you installed yourself or that came with the device)
All games and your progress in them
All pictures
All music
All videos
All text and picture messages
All wallpapers
All widgets
All ringtones
All login and account settings
All system settings
All stored passwords, including WiFi passwords

Thanks. I able to backup the recovery. But the file is .win. Can I backup recovery as .img? So when needed I can flash it using fastboot. Or the .win is supported by fastboot to flash recovery?

Use TWRP to flash it if you need it, don't use TWRP from your recovery, just BOOT twrp from your pc so you can restore easily your recovery backup (the one you made with TWRP)

custom ROM to stock OOS

I'm on a custom ROM based on 9.013.
I have the full ROM zip on my sdcard for 9.017. Am I able to flash it via TWRP recovery to get to a stock OOS pie ROM?
Unfortunately I haven't been able to find the answer whether it's flashable via recovery or not.
Thanks,
Pain

Yes of course you can flash oos via twrp. Just make sure it's really is the Full zip AKA over 1+ gig file.

If going from custom rom back to stock oos, don't forget to format data in twrp. Do a backup first because this will wipe everything. So do like this.
Reboot to twrp
Flash oos followed by twrp installer tap
Wipe them select format data type yes
Reboot recovery and install oos again followed by twrp installer again
Reboot recovery and flash magisk then reboot to system. Good luck.
