I am trying to get a stock rom on my phone so i can naturally instal ota updates. My device is not on custom rom and is still running a stock rom but I haven't been able to update with ota updates because of cwm, which is why I'm doing this. Will I need to wipe the data partitions even though i'm on stock already?

I think all u need do i flash the stock recovery for your rom. OTA should then work.

I know with a custom recovery image we will not get the OTA, but can I just flash the Froyo zip from my SD once it is compiled and released? Im assuming if so, I would need to reflash the stock rom before flashing froyo. Is this correct?
Thanks!
Yes you will be able to flash via sd. Don't believe u need a stock rom prior to.

Yeah, just a full wipe and you'll be good to go whenever the .zip is released and packaged.
Thanks guys!
I have a nand backup of my original shipping rom. If I restore this rom will that allow any ota update of froyo?
If you have a custom recovery installed, ie amon-ra's etc.. You won't get an ota. Must have stock recovery image for ota's
Hi I have been looking for a solution for the OTA "4.2.2" update, but i haven't find any.. I tried to flash stock recovery but when the update starts it gets stuck and stops there, so that didn't work. I have a completly stock nandroid backup but i'm afraid i will get the problem restoring because my phone has a new partition of flashing ARHD 12 4.2.2
I have read about RUU the ONE but i am afraid it will remove everything including my nandorid backups.. And mess up my partition.
Now, how do i get my phone to update the new OTA eith 4.2.2 Stock ?
Sorry if my english is bad...
Regards
Copy all your sd into the pc, use a ruu and swith to 4.2.2
Or, when you will apply your ota, you had the stock recovery with the relocked bootloader?
I have twrp installed, I had cmw and a nandroid backup of 4.2.2
Restored it to the nandroid. Phone asks for install, reboot and it boots to recovery.
Is there a way to get ota without it kicking into cmw.
I tried twrp as well and it just reboots into that.
I dont want it to show.
Im trying to sell the phone and it will not go back to stock. So this is my only option.
I have a hboot 1.54, i do not have s off, but i have an unlocked bootloader and i have root.

I'm currently in the same boat as yourself. To make use of OTA updates your phone needs to be:
1. Running a stock unrooted ROM
2. Running the stock bootloader
Seeing as you don't have S-OFF your only option will most likely be using a RUU if you can find one for your carrier. If not you might be lucky with a stock Nandroid but older backups won't work as the older touchscreen drivers aren't compatible sadly.
Tbh custom ROMs will be updated a lot faster than pretty much any stock ROM. If you need to return to stock for whatever reason your best bet would be to wait for a leaked RUU or a new Hboot exploit I think.
Edit: If you need the device to be on the latest stock ROM for selling you could try and find the latest stock ROM for your device/carrier and just flash that with TWRP. But TWRP will always be on the device until you can do one of the things I said above.

Stock recovery is required for ota to work
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
No need for RUUs! After flashing your nandroid, fastboot flash stockRecovery.img. Check mike1986's stock Sense ROM for a link to the stock recovery if you don't have it in your nandroid. Now you should be able to apply the OTA. Then flash CWM/TWRP and your custom ROM back.
Thanks i found a stock recovery flashed that and the ota updates are working now. Im selling the phone and going back to the iphone (let the bashing commense).
Not gonna install twrp again, leaving it as is so who ever buys it can do all that later if they wish or enjoy all stock goodness
Hello Guys,
I tried many custom ROM CM 10.1.3 to CM 11 and Vanir and ROMS based on stock JB
I want to flash Stock ICS Euro Open because It was the least lagging ROM for me
Can any one post a link to stock ICS Euro Open in ZIP format?
ZIP format? You mean make it flashable through the bootloader? I think that's not possible since ICS doesn't support bootloader for our device...
You should try flashing the KDZ...

So ICS can't be in zip format and flashed like custom mods?
I'm afraid it can't be flashed like the other custom ROMs, sorry. There is a way to do it though, through the LG Firmware updater. Maybe this will help you out:

Thanks a lot, when I do that down grade do I lose the custom recovery and the unlocked boot loader? and as a result I won't be able to flash custom ROMs until I install a new custom recovery and so on?
Bootloader stays unlocked but you wull loose cwm recovery. You wont be able to install any other custom rom untill you update to 20x software and just install cwm again. No need to unlock bootloader again since it will stay unlocked.
On stock 4.2.2 rooted and perfectly happy for now, last time i tried to flash recovery i bricked the phone and don't want to deal with that again if i can help it. Do i need to flash a custom recovery or can i get by with just stock for now?
What to do about OTA? Is root keeper an option and just accept the updates as they come?

You don't need a recovery unless you want to back up your rom or install other ones.
As for the OTA, people were reporting root stuck when installing 24A, as long as you have stock recovery it should install ok. Worst case is you need to root it again.
it all depends what you want to do bc i had my phone rooted without a custom recovery and it worked just fine using like xposed but if you want to flash a rom or do nandroids then you need a custom recovery. I also took an OTA like a dumbass and it gave me a boot loop with a certification error and it took me a month to fix it so a) plz don't take an OTA and b) get a custom recovery if you want to just be safe, i would if i were you.
Thnx, will try auto rec again last time. What to do after install? Last time it installed, it opened and that was it, couldn't get it to reboot, do l need to do a back up first? What are the steps immediately after install?
