Can I ask why you'd like to go back to the stock recovery?

They ordered me a replacement phone and I want to be ready to take this one back as soon as they text me but I was gonna just leave the phone rooted so I can still have my wifi tether until I take it in
Install the stock RUU. This will revert your phone to it's original state, unrooted, no custom recovery, original bootloader. This will also remove root. I don't know how you would install the stock bootloader/recovery on its own.
If it's for replacement purposes, my suggestion is just wait until the replacement arrives and then install this RUU.

New to Andriod. Have MT3GS, can follow instruction to have the phone rooted (have downloaded all the required software to do it). How do I back up the stock room first before rooting? It didn't mention anywhere to have back up the present stock rom first.

You can't, there is no way to make a nandroid backup without clockwork recovery, which can't be flashed until after you've overwritten the ROM. When you root you have to wipe everything and start from scatch.

Then you would flash this through clockwork recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=746577
That will break your root and put you back at the OTA 1.35
Before Flashing a Custom RoM, I did a backup of the stock RoM in recovery. Am going to need to return stock so O2 can release JB OTA update and allow me to update Hboot.
My question is if I was just to flash back the stock RoM in recovery am I right I dont need to relock the bootloader? I just use the Stock RoM with phone unlocked and custom Recovery just to allow me the OTA?
Thanks
You will receive the OTA, but to apply it you need stock recovery.

I'm trying to unroot the phone to take it back to the Sprint to get it replaced. I've reset the count via triangle away and flashed a stock rom to unroot everything but in downloading mode it still says "custom" under system status. Is it possible to change this back to "official" before I take it in?

You need to flash stock recovery.

Sounds about right. Your phone isn't completely stock until recovery is stock also

I already ran triangle away and flashed the stock rom and recovery but the system status still says custom when I go to download mode. Is Sprint going to say anything if I take it in?
Looking for a safe root method without having to use CWM Recovery. I want to be able to keep stock recovery and be rooted just in case we get 4.2.2 anytime soon.

Not possible, but you can flash stock recovery back after you've rooted successfully, you can find the root procedure and the stock recovery in the faq which can be found in my Sig. Also, when/if 4.2.2 dies come out, I can guarantee that a stock rooted build will be available before most get the actual ota anyways and you'll need a custom recovery for that, so just root and if the update comes out, flash the stock rooted build with cwm or twrp...

Hi,
My phone somehow managed to update itself to 4.3 even though I've been denying it for several weeks in attempts to get around to using Rumrunner. But now I'm stuck on 4.3 without root, and that caused a couple things to break from when I previously had root (some items are perma-frozen and I cannot "unroot" to access GOOD).
Is there any way to fix this currently since I am S-Off? Like can I go back to 4.2.2 since I'm S-Off?
Fastboot flash twrp or cwm, unless its already installed and accessable. Then flash the superuser zip thru recovery. That will give you root back.

I'll give that a shot, thank you!
Works great thanks. I see 4.4 is now trying to be pushed. Can I repeat this process if I try to take the OTA or will it fail because of CWM?
It will fail unless you are complete stock. You can and should remain s-off. To take the ota, you would have to ruu and then take the ota(s). Once updated, you just fastboot flash recovery and then flash su thru recovery. Then you will have stock rooted KK.

OK thanks, that makes sense to me. I guess I'll just wait for a stock rooted ROM or something, as that seems like it'll be less hassle. Much thanks.
