[Q] Returning Stock Questions

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.

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.

Do I need to flash stock recovery before using ruu.zip???

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.
