Hi, I want to run the OTA update but can't find a quick stock recovery solution. Does anyone have a stock recovery that I can flash through CWM?

so i have stock rom but i have the cwm recovery install i know that i can install back to stock recovery via bootloader but some have complained that after flashing have faced the 'red triangle of doom' and are now unable to either flash the update or in some cases not boot the rom so what is the safest way to do this and what is the best recovery. img file?
What I did was restore a backup of a stock ROM, flash stock recovery and OTA popped up Had no red triangle of doom. Even if you do get that, you can still boot into the bootloader and fix things.
can u post the file wich u used for the recovery?

You can find links to stock recoveries HERE. Choose the one that matches the base rom you are using, ie 1.29, 2.17 etc.

If you want to flash the full firmware, then download it from sammobile.com and flash it using Odin.
Then you can install custom recovery with Odin.
Be aware that if you flash the full firmware package, it has a new bootloader that doesn't play nice with custom recoveries. If you use any software method to boot into your custom recovery, you will get stuck in recovery and must flash stock recovery to be able to boot the OS. You can use a custom recovery only if you POWER OFF; then use the 3-button method to boot into your custom recovery.
I'm on stock rooted Sense --401.4 and I want to update to --401.5 version. I have s-off, and custom recovery, and am rooted.
Although I have a constant "system update" notification on my notification bar, I really cannot update because of the custom recovery. Is there any fully stock version of the latest ROM available which I can flash to update? Mike1986 hasn't provided it yet. Is there any other way to update easily? I really don't want to switch to custom ROMs for the update, and I really don't want to factory reset my phone right now.
Is there any way we can flash OTA update .zips? If yes, I really cannot find them on XDA, so can anyone guide me to them (and a guide on how to flash them?). Thank you.
You can flash stock recovery.img and then perform Update. İ tried and it is working. But you lose root. After Update Flash Custom recovery and supersu zip.

Thanks, I'll try this
So I am going back to stock so I can get the 3.3 firmware. I read exocetdj's thread on OTA, stock recovery, and nandroid backups. I was able to find the version I need for the OTA and nandroid backup, but not the same version for stock recovery. BUT, in the OTA Zip file, inside the firmware zip file, is a recovery image. Can I use that recovery image? Or should I find a close enough stock recovery image in exocetdj's thread?
Thank you for your help.
Also, do I need to re-lock the bootloader in this process?
1. Recovery.img from OTA - yes
2. Need to relock bootloader - no
So I rooted my G3 and I flashed twrp with flashify so I could flash xposed ( did not flash a custom ROM, just xposed) I got an OTA update so I tried flashing my stock recovery using flashify but i just got an error and had to pull the battery to reboot. I know some of you will think its pointless to root and flash a custom recovery just to revert back to stock but can anybody help me get back my stock recovery so I can get the OTA update.
You need the flash whole stock ROM via FlashTool first.
