How to get OTAs after rooting?

I couldn't find anything regarding this on the first pages and other threads are old so I was hoping you guys can help me out.
I had a locked operator Gnex and by using Galaxy Nexus ToolKit v7.3 provided here I successfully rooted,unlocked and installed stock JB (bigxie_maguro_JRO03C) on my device.
So now the issue that I have. I'm gonna give the phone to my gf who will be traveling often without me so I want her to have a stock device to get all future OTAs from Google.
How do I install stock recovery, ( maybe even unroot?) and which other settings should I change in order to get OTA installs without failures?
A step by step guide is not necessary but would help me :silly:
Thanks

I used a method found on galaxynexusforum, I can't post url but just google for "[HOW TO] Return to Stock Using Odin (VZW and GSM)".
I received the 4.1.1 OTA just a couple of days ago.

i think we can still receive OTA update even the phone is rooted as long as it is stock JB JRO03C as what i see from posts from other threads.
anyone can confirm this?

Stock without files REMOVED or modified.
Adding SU doesn't change the ability to get an OTA.
A custom recovery does, however.

OP: Follow this.

Ive got a galaxy note polish version, since poland was slow in receiving ics update, i flashed my with official open german version.
If there is OTA in future, will i receive this update automatically?

Jubakuba already awnsered you. Concerning system app removal, you need to put them back before OTA update.

Ok i understand now. Thank you for all your reply!

Thanks for the responses guys so let me recall.
I have to download this file
yakju JRO03C from IMM76I and use Method 1 - CWM 5.5.0.2 (i.e., NON-touch) recovery installed ? After I do this the update will erase CWM and my device would look like its a yakju model that just got JRO03C update right?

Stock Bell unrooted rom

I've searched for a good 15 minutes, I might have let it slip, but I'm really busy and I need to have this rom for tonight. This is a big time request.
I'm sending my cellphone for overheating problems because I'm still under warranty, and I can't find the Canadian rom for the SGS3(BELL). I have the stock + root one, but I can't find a really stock one. My flash trip counter and other things that should be default are not tripped, so it shouldn't pose any problem.
Last little question : Do I flash the stock rom via cwm to keep the counters normal? It should also remove cwm, right?
Thanks, sorry for being a burden.

I'll google too then. If anybody has a working link, I'll take it.

Go back to ICS from new OTA Jelly Bean on an unrooted phone

Hello folks,
I am a newbie to the forum but I am constantly on the site checking stuff out and finally decided to join!
Anyways,
I recently updated my phone to the new Jelly Bean OTA released from sammobile and find that the wi-fi calling feature that doesn't work is a big no-no for me. I need it constantly since I am in college and most of my classes have wi-fi in basements that have no cell phone service.
If anyone can help me out I would appreciate it.
I tried downloading the stock rom from sammobile and installing it and I got an error:
"signature failed".
I did factory wipe and partition wipe prior to trying to apply the update. I also put the file as update.zip (no I did not make the file update.zip.zip) in the root of the external sd card.
Any other tips?

DL zip from this post, extract and use Odin to flash.
It's the H2 ICS update.

I cannot find the ICS zip in that thread.
Can I restore ICS on my unrooted S3 without flashing it?

Excuse me for misreading the post. Like none of you guys ever done that before, oh yeah I forgot this place is full of XDA God's who never make mistakes.

How do I update my rooted GNex to 4. 3?

I got a used GNex that is rooted and on stock 4.2.2. It is a takju maguro device. I have CWM installed. I tried updating via OTA but it failed in between. How do I update to the stock 4.3 ROM?
Is there a flashable zip, or is the process more complex?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

A quick search would have given you what you needed. The N4 needs a new 4.3 boot loader and radio. The same applies for the GN but many users reported a successful update with their old configuration. However it is suggested that you do flash the 4.3 boot loader and the XLJ1 radio. There is both a zip to be flashed under CWM and a fastboot image. I suggest flashing those through fast boot. If you get a brick because go the lazy easy way, don't bother posting again. It shouldn't but the instructions are very clear. With that said, the new boot loader and radio are readily available on these forums.
On a side note, you will NEVER be able to update via the official android OTA, that is for stock devices only. That us why it failed. I'm surprised you even got a notification

you do not have a stock device if the OTA failed (even with root and CWM)
why do people think that they can modify the system and still get OTAs?

if he's on a stock rom, he will get the OTA... however, he modified system files so it will never update. (what he modified is outside of root and CWM)

Thanks for the help guys. If I want to flash an unofficial 4.3 ROM, I just have to flash the zip file right?
My PC is unavailable now so I won't be able to fastboot flash atm.

mostly what you said... he'd still get the OTA however, and you questioned how he got it. i clarified for anyone else that might be reading.
root + cwm does not elimiate the OTA working correctly. i have root and TWRP and i get OTAs fine, and they flash fine because i did not modify any stock system files.

Just flash the latest stock rom from Sammobile.com. There is no need to unroot, wipe, etc. before flashing.

So, I can't flash the modem while in cm13? Doesn't the modem used for having better call quality?
Sent from my SM-N900T using XDA Labs

You can flash just the modem but I always flash a modem and bootloader together to ensure they are matched.

OK. I'm on fob6. If I flash the latest bootloader and modem would call quality get better?
Sent from my SM-N900T using XDA Labs

The modem and bootloader would have a more direct impact on signal quality which can affect call quality. The ROM can also affect call quality by affecting radio bands available for use.
Usually, the best call and signal quality will come from using the latest stock ROM.

Once a bootloader has been updated, you may or may not be able to flash back to a previous bootloader. I don't know enough about the T-Mobile Note 3 to know for sure.

Most likely you can.
Based on previous release, you can even downgrade from lollipop to KitKat without any problem. The previous FOL1 lollipop can be downgraded to OB6 lollipop. Don't think they would block downgrade in this lollipop rom.

So, I open Odin, click bl, and it will only flash the bl right? In other words, when I click a certain tab in Odin, it will only flash that certain file? Thanks again.

You need to unzip the tar.md5 file to get the bootloader file.
Personally, I would flash the tar.md5 file in pda to ensure everything matches but how you proceed is your choice.
