Big thanks to @Dees_Troy for the help and, of course, for the TWRP source.

I never made it... can you explain better?
There is a file /system/recovery-from-boot.p that, on Nexus devices at least, reflashes the stock recovery on system boot. I think the idea is that that is how they upgrade the recovery. It is a good system for ota--it makes sure the system update is good before it replaces your recovery. Usually have to rename it or delete it to stop TWRP from being overwritten.

It's not a huge deal...I am actually thinking of just fastbooting recovery as I am not very likely to change my firmware on the go anyway.

Now we just need to get one of these things into the hands of a ROM dev. :highfive:

Two things:

You are unlocked, right? Ran the command "fastboot oem unlock" in fastboot mode? (Warning: this will factory reset your device)

Try fastboot booting the image instead of flashing it:

fastboot boot TWRP2.8.7.0-Sturgeon.img

NICE!!!!!!!! I just got mine today and popped in to see what is going on and first thing I see is kernel and TWRP! Very nice!

Do we have to rename/delete the recovery-from-boot.p file while in TWRP or via ADB?
Basically he is asking if the recovery will survive a reboot. I assume it does as I guess you would have tested it multiple times.

If someone can post a kernel dump would be great

dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/boot.img
