The stock recovery has a new option since 4.1
Install from USB.
Is there any guide on how to use it?
You'll need a compatible otg cable, flash drive formatted to fat32, and a file called update.zip on the root of flash drive.

No. It's supposed to be how recovery was designed to be after 4.1, to install ota updates or even full roms (obviously not custom roms) i think. How are you packaging it? Don't tell me you grabbed official stock images tgz, converted it into a zip and are trying to flash that.
How about experimenting a bit? Search adb sideload.
EddyOS is right, of course. IMO, flashing stock with fastboot is the best way to a fresh start.

Obvious, it's not signed for stock recovery. ... Was that what you were going for? Nice try.

You have to extract it as it's is not flashed via recovery but rather fastboot, refer to this thread. Or you could use the toolkit (which should do everything for you) to restore to stock.

Odin isn't used with the Nexus. As said above, just flash the factory image provided by Google and then set up your custom ROM again

It's not that Odin isn't used, rather that it is an unsupported, leaked tool, and using it on a Nexus, when fastboot is available on the device, is just plain useless.

That's pretty much what I meant!
How does one backup the existing stock recovery, before installing Clockwork or whatever other custom recovery you have?
I'm assuming you can't use Download mode, because that's just one direction, from computer to cell.
Could you maybe use a program like Root Explorer to copy the stock files to the SD card?
If this is possible, how would you package it into a tar suitable for Odin later on?
Thanks guys!

I thought that was only for rooting your cell, not making a backup of the current recovery code.

So if I extract recovery.img from Samsung's tar.md5 package, can I just use Odin to load the .img into the cell, or do I need to add a script to it?

The flash would probably fail unless your /system is completely stock. You could use TB to back up, TOT to ZVE, then install the OTA to get to ZVG, but there's no guarantee of root on the other side so TB can restore all your stuff. Stump might work.

Download this.
1. Create a Folder (Call it whatever, but for example I will name it Android) on the root of your C:/ Drive (on your PC.)
2. Download Update.zip (mirror in the OP.)
3. Download the link above in this post, adb.exe.
4. Place both Adb.exe and Update.zip into C:/Android
5. Open CMD
6. Type 'cd C:\Android' (do not include the quotes.)
7. Plug phone into PC in Recovery Mode and plug it in via USB.
8. In Recovery, select Update from adb.
9. Now on the PC, type 'adb sideload Update.zip' in cmd.
10. Let the install happen. It took my phone around 20 minutes. It's a big update.

You will brick your phone as simple as that... You cannot use slots A/B with stock and AOSP simultaneously.
Read the guides on my signature and take care.

If you return to stock, the recovery is included. You don't need the stock recovery to go back to stock ROM. There is also a guide for "returning to stock".
