Hi

I recently unlocked my bootloader and rooted my Moto G 4G and decided that I should do a nandroid backup so that my un-rooted stock OS would be backed up if ever wanted to restore my phone. I ran into one problem whilst flashing the recovery over fastboot, and that was after powering down the phone and then re-entering the bootloader menu, the TWRP recovery that I've literally just flashed disappears. I quickly found and solution on a forum and it simply said select 'recovery' from the bootloader menu (not doing a full power down) otherwise you'll lose the third-party recovery because some stock OS replace the recovery or something. With this in mind I had the intention that I could use my PC to temporarily flash TWRP, install my root .zip folder, reboot my phone and then the recovery would return back to the stock one. Wrong. I now have a permanent TWRP recovery and would like to put the stock one back on. I've looked all of this forum and I can't find the recovery.img file for the Android 5.1 OS anywhere.

Could someone please lend me a hand here please

Many thanks

Will

Look again. There are stock ROM images which of course include the stock recovery.
