[Q] Revert to stock recovery in order to flash KK

Hi everyone,
I am currently using PAC-MAN for 4.2 by sudu_petru and would very much like to try KK.
Unfortunately, I think that the only I can update my firmware is via the dload method, wich I
can't use because I'm currently using TWRP recovery 2.6. I am tempted to flash the B118 recovery
but I'm afraid it might brick my device. Is flashing the recovery ONLY as risky as flashing the whole
firmware? Or is it possible to flash the device using the dload method through TWRP?
Regards,
Chovine.

Thank you for your answer, but I'll reformulate my question more simply. I was originally on
B120CN, I installed PAC-MAN and TWRP. I would like to revert to stock recovery so
is it SAFE to flash B118 recovery.img or could it brick my phone?
Thank you for your time .

I flashed CN118 recovery without any problem (except that the phone was vibrating while it was on recovery). If you want you can also flash KK recovery which I prefer and worked better.

It's safe to flash the stock recovery, you will not brick the device with it.

If you want to flash the full firmware, then download it from sammobile.com and flash it using Odin.
Then you can install custom recovery with Odin.
Be aware that if you flash the full firmware package, it has a new bootloader that doesn't play nice with custom recoveries. If you use any software method to boot into your custom recovery, you will get stuck in recovery and must flash stock recovery to be able to boot the OS. You can use a custom recovery only if you POWER OFF; then use the 3-button method to boot into your custom recovery.

[Q] non modded stock bumped 4.4.2

Where can I find non modded stock 4.4.2 which I could flash using TWRP?
I can only find modded roms or CM11 based.
Do I have to flash kdz, root, install twrp, wipe, backup to have one?

flashing A.I.C.P rom? Which recovery to use before flashing

So i have been thinking of flashing A.I.C.P (6.0.1) rom on my zenny... Currently i am running Echoe rom and AEL kernel with recovery as twrp 2.8.7.3 (Lollipop based)... I was reading the A.I.C.P thread in which it states just to flash the rom & the gapps... but before flashing i wanted to ask if i can flash the rom using my current recovery (TWRP 2.8.7.3 (LP based) or do i need to flash the marshmallow based (TWRP 2.8.7.7) recovery first and then flash the A.I.C.P rom? Please guide me in flashing this rom with proper custom recovery...i know i can flash the recovery later as well but i am confused that do i need to flash the MM based recovery as this rom is MM based.. Please help i dont want to screw my zenfone right now... i am too lazy right now to flash & then get bootloop & then again flash it stock...

Yea your lollipop recovery should work fine, I haven't updated to the latest one yet either
