Already had root and just dd'd your cwr_recovery.img. CWR asks you if you want to disable the stock recovery process. As a test I picked no, and CWR didn't get replaced. So should I assume that Amazon doesn't run any scripts at boot that check the recovery and rebuild/flash it?



To make a long story short. I was just curious if your pre-rooted images disabled the recovery replacement, since I still saw the recovery-resource.dat used to build them in the zip. But I guess FireOS doesn't do that at boot

51.1.3.0 was actually the first version to include an updated recovery. If you look in the stock 51.1.3.0 image, you'll see a recovery directory with recovery-from-boot.p and install-recovery.sh. I removed that from my image. The install-recovery.sh is the one that updates the recovery.I'm not quire sure why it asked you about disabling stock. I'm guessing you booted into it, did nothing, and then rebooted. The only thing I can guess is whatever you had installed already had a /system/etc/install-recovery.sh script there. That doesn't seem to be included in the stock update images. Maybe the stock recovery writes it if it doesn't exist... Either way, I think people have said the install-recovery.sh script that came with stock didn't do anything. And then when you install one of my updates, it definitely doesn't come with it.
