From bootloader you can flash the stock recovery.img via fastboot. The root is lost once you flash a stock rom, preferably via update.app in force update mode.

I'm currently running Viper X ROM on my HOX and i want to go back to stock for the JB OTA. I've made a back up in clockwork mod before flashing custom ROM.
Can i just restore the back up or do i need to do something else before? I'm a bit concerned because i had to flash boot.img from Viper X ROM before flashing the ROM itself.
So, do i need to flash boot.img from my backed up folder (stock ROM backup) or can just restore it? Or do i need to do something else?
In order to be able to update you need to flash the stock boot.img from the backup the backup stock rom and the stock recovery .....

so i flash the stock boot.img and in recovery mode restore the backup with clockwork mod?
yes, flash the boot.img boot into recovery and wipe everything except sd card and then restore the backup. After that flash the stock recovery and you are good to go

1: Phone will work with stock boot.img and backup
2:root is rom related not recovery related. The stock rom backup should be root free to receive ota's
3:stock recovery is absolutely necessary to receive ota's
4:stock recovery is related to the main version
Fastboot getvar version-main
Check if it is the 1.29 or the 2.17 version. You need the recovery corresponding to that number. Example if you need the 2.17 recovery you can download any stock recovery that starts with that number !

If you made the the backup with the custom recovery you can not use that one because it wil be the custom recovery cwm 5.8.4.0 so that's a no go
You have to download the real stock recovery !

It doesn't need to be root free. It does need to be stock, as in, all the apps are there and unmodified.

i dont see why you wouldnt still get ota updates. i could be wrong, but pretty sure youll still get them
for flashing to stock, rooting, and unlocking you can use the nexus root toolkit.
http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/
it will automatically download the stock image file which contains the stock recovery. i think its boot.img (within the stock file). you can also manually download the stock file here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
edit: heres a good thread that you missed

Are you sure is it possible to get OTA from google without stock recovery? If its true, is a good news!
The stock from [email protected] is have stock rom & recovery, I want to flash only stock recovery without rom and reset.
Thanks.

im not 100% sure because this is my first nexus device. but on my n7000 (international galaxy note) i got updates just fine with a custom recovery.
use the tool kit in my first post to flash stock recovery.
I got an OTA update on my deb/LTE with TWRP and SuperSU on it.
After the update stock recovery was flashed and my deb was unrooted again.
Just flashed TWRP back and the SuperSU zip. Everything is working fine!:good:
@shyd

I will waiting to the next OTA to check it (with root, unlocked & TWRP recovery).
Thanks all.

Sure, otherwise I couldn't alter the recovery!
The bootloader lock/unlock state hasn't been changed by the OTA update!
Excellent, thanks all.

Also, if you want the OTA but don't want to have to unlock and root again, people usually post a flashable update that you can install via your custom recovery.

recently, i updated to lolipop, i want to back up my stock recovery.img file, for later OTA updates.
because i want to root my phone and install TWRP, please i need a simple way to keep may stock recovery img file.
thank you

You don't need to back it up. When the new future ota is out you download it, install it later and get the firmware zip out of the ota zip and take out the recovery.img out of the firmware zip. That's the stock recovery. So no need to back it up now.
Lollipop has brought back the ability to boot into TWRP. You can boot TWRP, root then back up recovery and boot with flashify.
So I rooted my G3 and I flashed twrp with flashify so I could flash xposed ( did not flash a custom ROM, just xposed) I got an OTA update so I tried flashing my stock recovery using flashify but i just got an error and had to pull the battery to reboot. I know some of you will think its pointless to root and flash a custom recovery just to revert back to stock but can anybody help me get back my stock recovery so I can get the OTA update.
You need the flash whole stock ROM via FlashTool first.

Yes it is. You would need to find and flash back the stock recovery when flashing back to aa stock RUU.
If you didn't install any custom recovery and still have the stock one, you'll just need to relock bootloader and flash RUU. If there's any custom recovery, you'll need to flash the stock one first.
