Phone hates Stock Recovery (but TWRP is fine...)

Hi there. While resurrecting my HTC One M8 [rooted, S-On] I found WiFi wasn't working on a lot of custom ROMs due to the phone needing a firmware update.

It looks as though I need to return to the Stock Recovery for an OTA update. Sounds simple enough. But flashing a stock recovery img, and then telling the phone to boot into recovery, causes it to just return to the fastboot screen.

I tried it with a couple of stock recovery images from different sources in case the image was the issue, but they all had the same result.

Yet when I flashed TWRP that works fine. Normally I'd be happy to stick with TWRP but I understand I won't be able to update my firmware that way. Is this true? Is there a workaround? Any idea what's causing the phone to not boot into Stock Recovery?

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
 
You should be able to RUU the whole update. It will probably wipe the device though.
