[One (M9) General] Flippy498:
Take me back to the Overview​

Stock Recovery Section​

Important Notes:

Things you might know from older HTC devices don't apply to the M9 since google introduced Block-based OTAs with android 5.

In other words: You can't install OTAs if you simply un-root and re-flash the Stock Recovery of your current firmware. Further information can be found in the OTA section.

Many of the TWRP Backups in this thread already contain the corresponding Stock Recovery.

However, if you need to restore a Backup that lacks the Stock Recovery you can use the instructions in this post for restoring/flashing it. It doesn't matter which method you choose.

Use the Universal Decryption Tool if you want to extract a Stock Recovery from a RUU.zip or a RUU.exe file.

Instructions for flashing the Stock Recovery via TWRP:

You'll need an external SD card. There is no size limit and it doesn't matter whether the card is formatted to fat32 or exfat.

Boot to TWRP.

Download the correct Stock Recovery for your firmware version.

Boot to Download Mode. The firmware version is stated in the line with "OS" at the beginning. The "firmware version" in "settings>about>software information>more" is only the base of the (custom) rom you are running.

Copy the Stock Recovery to the root/main directory on your SD card.

Sometimes this is only possible if the SD card is directly connected to your PC and not put into your phone. I don't know why some M9s refuse the copy process.

Choose "Install" in the TWRP main menu.

Choose "Install Image" at the bottom of the screen.

Choose the Stock Recovery and install it by swiping the slider.

Congrats! TWRP will be replaced with the Stock Recovery as soon as you reboot your device.

Step 2 can be skipped if the directories already exist on your SD card.

Boot to TWRP.

Create a backup on your external SD card.

Backing up "Boot" is more than enough. We only want TWRP to create the needed directories on your SD card.

Create a folder on your desktop and rename it to "Stock Recovery".

Download the correct Stock Recovery for your firmware version and copy it into the "Stock Recovery" folder.

Boot to Download Mode. The firmware version is stated in the line with "OS" at the beginning. The "firmware version" in "settings>about>software information>more" is only the base of the (custom) rom you are running.

Rename the Stock Recovery to "recovery.emmc.win". (Make sure that file extensions are visible so that you don't rename the file to "recovery.emmc.win.img"!)

Copy the "Stock Recovery" folder to "TWRP/BACKUPS/<YourSerialnumber>/" on your SD card.

Sometimes this is only possible if the SD card is directly connected to your PC and not put into your phone. I don't know why some M9s refuse the copy process.

Restore the Stock Recovery.

Congrats! TWRP will be replaced with the Stock Recovery as soon as you reboot your device.

Instructions for flashing the Stock Recovery via Fastboot:

A working ADB/Fastboot/HTC_Fastboot environment is mandatory.

Download the correct Stock Recovery for your firmware version.

Boot to Download Mode. The firmware version is stated in the line with "OS" at the beginning. The "firmware version" in "settings>about>software information>more" is only the base of the (custom) rom you are running.

Copy the Stock Recovery into the folder that contains your ADB/fastboot/HTC_fastboot files on your PC.

Boot to Download Mode.

That means: Power off the phone, wait some seconds and turn it on again while you keep volume down pressed until you see a black screen with red, blue and yellow text. If you see a white screen with multicoloured text then you're facing the Bootloader mode. In that case you can navigate to "Boot to Download Mode" with the volume keys and select the option with the power button.

Connect your phone with your PC via a USB cable.

Press and hold Shift on your keyboard.

Right-click into the folder that contains your ADB/fastboot/HTC_fastboot files.

Choose "open command window here".

If you're using the Win 10 Creator's update or any newer version then you need to choose "open powershell window here".

Type "start cmd" without the quotation marks and execute the command with pressing Enter on your keyboard.

Copy'n'paste the command

fastboot flash recovery <enter name of the Stock Recovery here>

and execute it with Enter on your keyboard.

Example for the European 3.35.401.12 Recovery:

fastboot flash recovery 3.35.401.12-recovery-signed.img

Congrats! TWRP got replaced with the Stock Recovery.

Sidenote: The SKU is part of your firmware version and located between the second and the third dot. Example: If 3.35.401.12 is your current firmware then you need to look for Recoveries with SKU 401.
