[Q] Get back to stock ROM

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

a few more questions (noob)
when i flash the boot.img and then restore the backup can i use my phone normally then or do i need to flash the stock recovery?
will my phone still be rooted if i flash stock recovery or not?

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.

[Q] Upgrading from ICS to JB

Hi guys.
Today I finally received an OTA upgrade from ICS to JB Android. I made a backup, then from settings i let system to update my ROM. It's going good so far, but when it's rebooting, it's going to recovery where the process is stopped. I have unlocked bootloader and rooted my HOX, but still i have a stock ROM. I tried to toggle off checking signatures in cwm but with no result. What can I do to keep root and upgrade to JB?
Thanks.

1. Stock ROM
2. Stock kernel
3. Stock recovery
Make sure you haven't removed system apps. Root doesn't matter.

And make sure to put back the stock recovery

You can root again by flashing your custom recovery AFTER updating to JB.

So, at start I have to flash stock recovery. Have I to relock the bootloader? Then I'll update to JB. Of course I want to root, so just flash custom recovery and su? Thanks in advance

Make sure the rom is stock, then flash the STOCK recovery and update the phone, then flash a custom recovery back and root the JB rom again. No need to lock the bootloader !

You must mean stock recovery correct?

You downloaded my stock recovery and renamed it to recovery.img ?
Recovery from a nandroid is never a stock one, a nandroid backup can only be done with a custom one

Uuuups, what a mistake Thanks! I'll try to flash yours one.

If you say you have no ROM installed, then it means you do not have a working phone. Your only option, therefore, is indeed to download a stock ROM and flash via Odin or (custom) recovery. Whichever option you choose, you would need to make sure that you download and flash a compatible ROM, i.e. one that would not brick your phone. Your best bet would be to revert to the same Android version you were on prior to the ROM being uninstalled.
