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.

yes..everything will go stock
I installed a custom recovery before thinking it would have been nice with a backup of my stock recovery...
Been reading and so far as I can tell, the stock recovery I need is the recovery for my ROM version... So if I have sw version 1.54.401.5, I need the stock recovery for 1.54.401.5, correct? Nothing else that dictates which recovery I need?

Why you don't try to reflash your stock rom with flashtool? you will get that automatically right?
I can't get flashmode to work, only fastboot works, i have a backup of stock with cwm recovery, i want the original boot.img without recovery.
Are the stock recovery for kitkat and lollipop same????

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.
