How would I go about returning to 100% stock on my N1? I'm preparing to flash the stock ROM via Amon_RA's recovery console, but after that, what steps do I need to take to go back to the stock recovery console?
Thanks in advance!
use fastboot to flash the stock recovery

well this is because your stock Android is still pointing to the stock recovery,
There are two ways of overcoming the problem you have,
Step 1 would be to flash recovery again
Step 2 would be to boot the phone into recovery (without booting into the stock OS) after completing step 1 and flash a custom ROM or you need to delete a few files.
Instructions for deleting the files can be found here

Hope this helps.
To get into your custom recovery without booting, just follow the on phone menu options, BOOTLOADER then RECOVERY. Once in recovery, flag this, and it will delete the two files that restore stock recovery:

Is it possible to flash a recovery without using ADB? Possibly directly from the phone using the terminal? I have my phone at work on a computer without ADB, and my phone has its bootloader unlocked but has not been rooted.

Short answer is no...
Unlocking the bootloader allows you to use fastboot, which requires connection to a computer. On phone methods require root access...
If you have a usb cable you could do it from your works computer (all you need install is the driver).

Just use Rom manager and first flash an old version of clockworkmod, which is located on the bottom of the app. After that flash amon ra recovery which is the option above the clockworkmod option.

He can't use rom manager due to fact that he does not have root.

Have you tried re-flashing a new recovery?

If your s-off try a fastboot erase. If your not look into it. After a fast boot erase do a full wipe. Then reflash your recovery via adb. Then backup all your data to your pc. Then format your sd threw your pc and restore the factory defaults. Then reformat your sd threw recovery. No swap no partitions just fat/system. Then redownload the rom and gapps. Flash the rom then gapps right after. Then see if its boots up. If it does then boot into recovery make a nandroid, restore your data then and carry on. If not then run the ruu in zip format. Then update your radio, profile and prl. Then locate the hero root apk thread. Follow the instructions. After that you'll be rooted again so boot into recovery and make a nandroid of your sense rom for future updates then reboot. Then boot back into recovery do a full wipe and reflash your choice of recovery via adb then reflash the rom and the gapps. It should boot up. Hope this helps.

I got it working, the recovery I was flashing was corrupt, I found one that worked.

For me the stock phone is almost perfect as is. I'd just like root access to achieve different tasks using Tasker and Secure Settings.
So how can the following be achieved:
1) Root access without CWM Recovery
2) Still receive OTA's
3) Nandroid without CWM Recovery
4) Restore Nandroid without CWM Recovery
The important thing for me is still getting OTA's without having to flash stock recovery etc. Plan on staying stock as long as the OTA's continue.
I'm used to Samsung so the whole HTC rooting process is somewhat alien. Any guidance appreciated.

Use TWRP?
You can fastboot boot CWM, rather than flash it, but you know, it's probably a lot easier to flash the recovery and leave it on there until you need to install the OTA and then just flash stock back recovery.

I'm on mobile so, no, too much hassle.
fastboot boot cwm-recovery.img
Instead of
fastboot flash recovery cwm-recovery.img
But I feel that booting the recovery every time you want to back up or restore is more hassle than flashing stock recovery every OTA.
hello,
would you be so kind to help me remove cwm and install stock recovery?
I tried to flash own recovery with All-In-One as well as through command line
I cleaned cache but there is always cwm as 'recovery'...
could you help me with that
regards
You need to flash the stock one as you did when you flashed CWM in the first place

You could try and flash the correct firmware.zip or a Stock Rom Reset
Don't think you can just flash a stock recovery without flashing an RUU or indeed one of the resets.
Don't understand why you would want to though...

Yeah you can. Find the stock recovery you want (pull it from a decrypted ruu zip for example) and flash it like any other recovery. Make sure ur bootloader's unlocked first.

Well, I can bet I tried this already and after flashing stock recovery and booting into bootloader I had initial cwm screen and then cwm is freezing (no menu)...
Is it important to do any specific action after flashing stock recovery?

If you had the recovery.img pulled from the RUU and you STILL have CWM after flashing, then either flashing went wrong or the recovery.img is NOT a stock recovery.
After flashing the stock recovery there shouldn't be anything with CWM anymore.
I need help please, verizon sent my update for lg g2 from 422 to 442. But my phone rebooted to my team win recovery and now I dont know what to do. When I try to reboot it just goes back to the recovery screen. Any ideas?

You need stock recovery to take it via the OTA..
Total brick well the G2 is booting to the bootloader is almost impossible, so relax and be patient... Google would have quickly given you the answer, http://bit.ly/1jMMKqw.
There is a fix for this here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696
If that doesn't work, your best bet is probably to do a complete factory restore from the TOT images here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448960
Like @mjones73 said, you need stock recovery to take an OTA... NEVER take an OTA if you have custom recovery installed, it will softbrick your device (the state you are in now).
On another note, why flash a custom recovery if you are on a stock ROM? There isn't really much of a benefit to it in that case if your not flashing a custom ROM, unless you are doing nandroids, and if you did one just restore it and you should be good to go.
Fix
Here is the fix
type this in terminal command in recovery
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
