Backup/Restore Stock Recovery - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have an ATT nexus and was just able to apply the manual update and gain root without unlocking the bootloader
If I install a custom recovery I know that I likely won't get any additional OTA updates. Is it possible to back up my current recovery before installing a custom?
I was thinking of just renaming install-recovery.sh to install-recovery.sh.bak and recovery-from-boot.p to recovery-from-boot.p.bak. Then just remove the custom recovery image and remove the .bak from the end of the files.
Will that re-install the stock recovery?

You can't root with stock
Full stock is a sticky in dev forum
It includes the recovery
Flash the custom one then if you want stock see the sticky

I'm already rooted with stock on FRF85B with an ATT phone.
i just wasn't sure if the stock recovery in the sticky would be the same as 85B for ATT so I wanted to backup whatever I'm currently using.

Ok then
Stock recovery is always the same, don't worry

When there is one available it will be posted in the android development forum.
but if you are impatient... try Blandroid 2.3.4... it's AOSP-based, rooted and 99% stock... http://blandroid.org/downloads
Geo411m usually posts a nice near stock custom ROM based on each release. If you watch the development forum for this username I bet you'll see one pop-up soon after the N1 specific code is officially available. I've used them before with good results and there is a theme post with nice themes made specifically for Geo's ROMs.
I'm using a rooted version of FRG83G (2.2.2) but I can't do the ota update because of my rooted version.
Is there a way to upgrade my OS ? (my boot loader is unlocked)

Backup ask your data with Titanium.
Passimg back to stock, and update to 2.3.4.
fastboot flash recovery.
Use recovery to install ChainsDD's su.
Restore your Titanium backup...
Blandroid is very good. It contains even my local language, so it's even better than stock from Google. Can be installed as stock replacement.
Flash FR91, Go into HBOOT and flash the stock recovery, start up, force checkin and let it update ( you only have 1 chance at this if you screw up you'd have to do the whole thing again ).
Download SU.zip and flash from recovery.
There you go you have 2.3.4 stock with root.

Install stock recovery from HBOOT?

Yeah? I'm not sure if that's the way you say it but hboot flash recovery recovery.img ?
Or is it called bootloader...
That would be fastboot, not hboot.
Why would you want a stock recovery, and how do you plan on flashing the su.zip with a stock recovery?
My bad, I keep on getting confused with G1.
If you do not have stock recovery, it will not flash the OTA update from 2.2 to 2.3.3 then 2.3.4. After the sequence is done you can go back into fastboot and flash a custom recovery. After that you can flash SU.zip
You can flash an update from any recovery, just turn the signature verification off...
Do-it-yourself way....
1. Get 2.3.4 system dump from here, and Android Kitchen here.(If your OS is Windows, you will need to install modified Cygwin to use it)
2. Cook the system dump files with Android Kitchen.
3. ?
4. Now you have rooted 'stock' 2.3.4 package that can be flashed on custom recovery!

But this is an ota update. Mine did not flash. It went back into recovery after downloading the ota update but it will not flash.
You can flash OTAs through any recovery, just turn the signature verification off. I've done it many times, including the update 2.3.4...

Then I must have done something wrong then. All mine did was boot back into recovery and stay there without flashing anything. I still made it work though.

Sir..you never need to "unroot".. the easiest way to flash the stock ROM is with RSDLite..but one can certainly use adb also..when you flash the stock ROM..the current recovery on the device will be overwritten back to the stock recovery..then flash TWRP or the other recovery, install SuperSU zip from your storage in TWRP..when you boot the device, it'd be rooted then..but you can gain root only with a custom recovery like TWRP..stock recovery will not work to gain root..if you wish the leave stock recovery, then a root exploit would be required..(if one is available)..
I hope your question has been answered..

If you have the SBF file which matches the rom version on your phone, then there are several ways to flash stock....
See -> http://mark.cdmaforums.com/MotoX-ReturnToStock.html that explains several ways to get back to stock.
Option 2 being the quickest way depending on the mods to your phone and what you are looking to do. Option 5 is the way to flash the full rom and get back to stock via command line using mFastboot.

I'm trying to backup stock recovery

I am trying to learn how to back up stock recovery. I've searched Google and xda for the proper way to back up my stock recovery it sounds like I should be using ADB but it's been a little confusing reading all the post. Some say you need the custom recovery but if I flash a custom recovery how will I get a back up of the stock recovery. I would just like a reliable source to do this. my bootloader is unlocked I am S-off I am running software 3.31.651.2. any help would be appreciated.
Why are you wanting to backup stock recovery?
It's fairly simple to fastboot flash stock recovery if you need to.
Oh yes very true its easy fastboot flash a stock recovery. But every time there is an OTA I search for a stock recovery that someone else has taken the time to pull I would just like to learn to do for myself. as an example I'm running 3.31.651.2 (why I took that OTA I dont know I'm sure what improvements it made) but I havent seen a stock recovery for that one.

If you flashed a different recovery like TWRP then you'll have to use that again.. Have you rooted the phone before? If so, you probably have to flash stock firmware files one by one in Odin including flashing the recovery.

Since you've rooted the phone I'm gonna say the easiest way to fix this right now is to re-flash TWRP and download a rom that one of the devs on here have created and push it to the phone and use TWRP to flash it.. This is the best way for now since you are going to need a LOT more information and a better understanding of how to fully remove the root access because you cannot run a stock rom while rooted.. After you at least get it going then read around on here and you'll find all the answers and ways to fix things by those of us who've already been in your spot.

I'm trying to flash a custom rom but the most I can get it to do is hang up on the Samsung logo or a black screen, is there any specific roms I should try?
