I haven't heard anything about an working method for backup stock recovery in A/B partition system, anyone knows how to do that? I already tried adb, Flashfire, TWRP, there's no recovery partition, help

Yeah, there is no recovery partition in our phone... Why do you want to backup it?

You will brick your phone as simple as that... You cannot use slots A/B with stock and AOSP simultaneously.
Read the guides on my signature and take care.

And I don't want to, what I'm trying to say is that if I want to go back to stock I can do it fully, including recovery, I don't want to have two systems installed at the same time, just stock or AOSP. And thanks for that post, I'll check it, I'm new in this.

If you return to stock, the recovery is included. You don't need the stock recovery to go back to stock ROM. There is also a guide for "returning to stock".

Recovery is in our boot.img. Flash that and you'll have stock recovery.

If you Have a backup of your original firmware (Stock ROM) you can restore it and then update your System to 6.0 in your settings, info, device updates(maybe somewhere else in settings)

No idea what cuases that? Maybe do a quick Google search for that issue. You can try Flash twrp again using flashify (play Store)or htc_fastboot

I honestly don't know what causes that. Maybe it's easier to restock everything and unlock your bootloader to flash TWRP.

I have TWRP installed.
You can flash a sense rom from TWRP. There are many stock based roms that have few optimizations.
Try Viper, ICE, Leedroid, Sky Dragon, Bad Boyz (might not have international support).
There are also a few stock rooted roms around. It's very easy to flash from recovery. Just make sure you are on the most current Firmware for your device.
If you are looking to go stock with no extras, THIS might be what you are looking for (also elaborates on the write protection issue you are having)
Ooops. I didn't realize your device was the M8s. I think it's kind of silly it's in the same forum, but oh well. Sorry for the confusion.

You're in wrong device thread man ... all your suggested ROMs are meant for M8 only.
They won't work for his/this device.

ahhhhh. I see. Didn't realize this was the M8s they were talking about. I thought it was the M8 general. Thank you for pointing that out. I was wondering why it was so hard for them to find a stock ROM....
Found a fix guys. Will post here if someone has the same issue:
1. boot TWRP, try flashing recovery, get the error
2. go to mount in twrp and turn on mount system as read only, then try flash again
3. go back into mount, turn off mount system as read only, then tap system
4. start the restore, this fixed it for me
Hi guys i have a rooted himaulatt m9 with twrp on 6.0 stock rom with elementalX kernel and now it is asking for a system update should i download and install it or not i have made a nandroid backup before rooting my phone btw, what should i do? Thanks
Even if you download the update, it will fail to install because you are not fully stock. You need to flash the stock boot image, the stock recovery, and an untouched system_image, all three corresponding to the firmware currently on your device. Then the update will install. If you don't have those files, then you need to find an RUU for your device.

By "stock recovery" I mean the recovery that came with the version of Android you have on your device (before you replaced it with TWRP) so, yes, you need to replace TWRP with the stock recovery.

Restore your backup in TWRP. It will automatically overwrite TWRP.

You need to get a hold of a stock recovery backup corresponding to the Android version you are trying to restore. Otherwise, you'll need to find an RUU.

Than i still have twrp installed.. (Tried this a long time ago..) and than i cant install the ota.. Is there a zip with the original recovery..? Retue
My recommendation usually is not to flash twrp at all. Just use fastboot boot when needed. Disadvantage is that you don't have it handy if you're not at your computer, and you need the cable any time you want to start twrp.
Original recovery is contained in the stock ROM archive. Just flash only recovery. You can take the command from any guide how to flash stock ROM. But you need the one that is delivered with your software version. That's why I recommend not to flash twrp, if you want to do OTA it can be a hassle to find the right original recovery.
When you flash the original ROM it will have the stock recovery which will bring back your ota ability. Stock recovery is flashed by, fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Hello, I am wondering if I can flash the stock boot.img again to de-root my device in case I want to go back. Is it also possible to reflash the entire stock rom again from fastboot? If not how would I go about doing that.

Yes flashing the original unpatched boot.img will unroot.
If you made any changes while rooted, they will remain and may cause issues,

Thank you for your quick response.
unrelated question, but I also plan on porting TWRP onto this phone too. Is there any chance of bricking my phone if I were to boot up a custom recovery from fastboot, not flash, but BOOT it? If its incompatible would it just default back into fastboot or something like that?

As far as I know yes but you need to root it again like what you normally do with and to be sure flash ota rom again be because of a/b partitions but you also need to do the root again when you flash the rom for the second time
