So my phone got the 2.3.1 ota, however I am rooted and have clockwork flashed. It would not install the ota and now I no longer have the option to install it. What do I need to do to go back to stock, and once stock how do I get the ota? Any help?

my understanding is that there is no way to flash the stock Recovery over CWM

I understood this to be the case too, but then I thought I read that 2.3.1 gets rid of CWM?

that im not sure of, because 2.3.1 is only a partial update, if you where to flash a full ROM it would overwrite the Recovery
If you put a stock image back on your phone, it should re-flash to the stock recovery on the first boot.
The recovery, at least on the N1 is included with the stock ROM's system.img.
Edit: I think it is /system/recovery-from-boot.p, at least /etc/install-recovery.sh seems to imply that, but I haven't had a massive look, I'm about to leave for work.
Edit 2: Grrrr to vBulletin making me wait 5 mins to edit a post as a new user, grrr -- it's not a new post, so not spam!
I was sort of in the same boat, then I flashed the nandroid backup of 2.3.1 from the development forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884093
It will also replace CWR with stock recovery and will apparently do this every time the phone reboots, but you can still have root.
so...
Ok, so is it safe to say that the best thing to do is to flash the 2.3.1 nandroid from the other post then and then go back to clockwork?

yup. and rename the boot install script so that clockwork stays and isnt replaced with stock recovery at reboot.

None of these random workarounds posted in the dev section by random users who just seem to be guessing at things. Is there any word from a real dev working on allowing currently rooted users to install the OTA without un-rooting or flashing things through fastboot? Either by modifying the .zip itself or by creating a method to flash the provided .zip? I'm tired of seeing posts that read along the lines of "Oh, do this in post X then this in post Y and it SHOULD work, but if it doesn't check post Z and hope things work after that."
Download the nandroid backup that was posted. Restore it using Clockwork, then while still in recovery, choose mounts, and then mount /system, then flash the superuser zip from Koush's rooting tutorial, then you will have the OTA stock + rooted + stock recovery + stock boot + everything.
This is how I was able to upgrade.

From the nandroid backup OP:
"Edit: According to xda member Luxferro the new update introduced /etc/install-recovery which may have not been in 2.3, but anyways, it runs this on bootup, and if the MD5 of the recovery doesn't match what is expected, it reflashes the stock recovery back over, so if you dont want the stock recovery to be flashed everytime you boot if your on clockwork or another non stock rom, just rename it to prevent it from running on boot. And for those of you who want to return your phone back to stock this nandroid will do that for you since it also flashes the stock recovery."
Just wipe and flash Paul's Gingerbread ROM.

Pretty much every time you flash an OTA update you're gonna lose root.
If someone took the time to modify the OTA update so you don't lose root, then it's not an OTA update anymore

Guys here is some info I wish I had when I got my first Nexus S OTA:
For 95% of you, you don't need to worry about getting the OTA. Only 5% of users get the OTA on day 1. It will be posted on XDA soon after the updates roll out. You will be able to download it and flash it from CWM like any ROM. There will also be rooted versions available.
So think twice before going back to stock to try to get your OTA, it might be a huge waste if time.
My two cents!

I know, I did when 2.3.4 was released. Then I was sitting there stock ROM, stock recovery, unrooted, waiting.... and then the full ROM, both rooted and unrooted, was posted on XDA way before anyone was really getting OTAs. So I ended up downloading from XDA and installing manually anyway, and I wasted a lot of time "going back to stock!"
You don't waste that much time. 3-5 minutes tops
I like going back to stock every now and then anyway. make me feel that my system is "fresh" again lol

You don't need to do anything except wait for a flashable zip of the full rom to be posted here in xda, which will likely happen way before you ever get an ota update

okay, I just want to be 100 percent on this. I HAVE unlocked the bootloader/added clockwork and superuser- I have NOT added any custom kernels or roms yet though, can I still take the OTA update and be just fine?
I just want to know 120% if I can leave my phone as it stands with root access but the stock everything. Originally I gained root access simply to do a custom kernel and then BLN- but waited because I was worried the netarchy kernel may provide less than stellar battery life.
sorry for being a rook, Just want to be positive on this.
Quick question if I'm on stock Rom but have the Matr1x kernel can I do OTA with out a problem or should I need to go back completely stock?

You will download the update from XDA and flash it with Clockwork before you would ever get the OTA.
This will work without a pc only if you are on ec05 modem, if not get your ass there
So since I'm in the process of moving without my desktop and have no acess to a pc. I updated to gb fairly easily with cwm and root.
This can be done with any rom.
if you mess up and let it boot at the 2 points I tell you not to, then you can get stuck with stock GB without root or cwm.
You will have the modem on the bright side!
I stated off with RandomRom, but you can be on any as long as you have the ec05 modem.
1. Download what you are goingto need,(the acs cwm is your choice.) Thanks to thoes who orginaly posted these files.
1a. the stock ec05 rom with the green cwm 3.1.0.1 found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1027904
1b. EXTtoRFS found here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9992367/gotorfs.zip
1c. The ec05 to ei22 update zip found here: http://android.clients.google.com/p...a5ff039a0c97.SPH-D700_update_EC05_to_EI22.zip
1d. Su.zip found here: http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/su-3.0-efgh-signed.zip
1e. Acs cwm (optional) found here: http://chris41g.devphone.org/index.php?dir=Epic/ACSRecovery/
2. After the files are on your phone make sure your on ec05 modem.
3. Boot into cwm doesn't matter I believe what one you have I started with acs's cwm.
4. if you are not on Rfs flash the zip to get there.
5. wipe everything 3x.
6. Flash the stock rfs ec05 rom.
7. Once finished reboot, as soon as you select reboot use the 3 finger to get back to recovery (do not let it fully boot). You should be back to the green cwm 3.1.0.1
8. Install the ec05 to ei22 zip just like any rom, I didn't wipe **** this time.
9. When finished flash the acs cwm or any flashable version you want.
Rebot the phone in cwm while holding the 3 buttons to go back to cwm(do not let it fully boot).
10. Once in cwm either acs's or any you flashed, flash the su.zip to obtain root.
11. Reboot and let your phone power up. You should now have ei22 with modem, cwm, and root.
Hope this helps somene or makes updating easier for you!

Gingerbreak's exploit apparently has been blocked since 2.3.3, so it isn't your phone, it's the rom. You'll have to odin cwm when you can get to your pc, then boot into recovery and flash nubernel or a comparable slightly modified custom kernel *before* normal booting for the first time - otherwise, you'll lose cwm due to a script in the stock kernel that reflashes stock recovery.
For root, I'd recommend flashing the su zip in recovery, may as well do that after flashing the custom kernel. You can find the necessary downloads in one of the how-to threads that have popped up today, I'm sure they'll be easy to find for at least a few weeks
I hope this helps clear up some confusion

Just realized cwm is gone after first boot, that blows
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
This worked for the ROM and root, but now all I have is stock recovery. Can someone point me in the right direction on how to get CWM back?
Ok, after a subsequent battery pull, I lost root. It was all an easy fix after doing some research. Basically, I used ODIN to flash the keyfix kernel. After a re-boot, I used ODIN to flash the ACS recovery. After booting into recovery, I flashed the su.zip. I now have root and ACS recovery. I even did a battery pull and it still works.
I am using Froyo stock and rooted right now (my phone is not stable on any roms for some reason). So should i just put my phone back to stock and update then reroot? Or is there a better way? I cant seem to find the stock rom to flash.
You can remove the root and then go to GB and then re-root.

That's what I did, I used Odin to flash back to stock EC05 and am waiting for the OTA, then I'll probably reroot when a reliable method has been worked out. It seems right now there's a lot of workarounds to get root and CWM to stay.
Here is how I did it:
Odin to stock EC05
Download update.zip to SD Card and install through samsung stock recovery
Odin mkasic's kernel followed by CWM 3.1.0.1 Purple
Flash SU.zip, GPS-Fix.zip, EC05AdFree.zip
Advanced Restore of /Data through CWM
Up and running with all my existing settings, has been solid for 24hrs with no fc's.
If he's stock EC05 and rooted then you can just use the one click root windows application and remove the root. Then apply the EI22 update.zip and then do the current root method for EI22. He doesn't have to lose everything if he's on stock froyo.

It will ALWAYS be a workaround solution. So there is no need to wait for that specific aspect... since the wait would be infinite. The problem with recovery not sticking has to do with the new stock kernel. The "workarounds" require a modified kernel.

1st use this, there is an un-root option:

then you can load the update.zip in stock recovery
then to get back on root do this:

If all you've done is rooted and removed the bloat it'll work so you don't have to loose everything.

The easiest way to do it, I think, is to do the manual update from stock EC05 to stock EI22. I did this procedure and have had zero problems. I used heimdall personally because I run Linux.
Once you have your stock GB up and running, odin/heimdall your cwm or acs recovery.bin and hold down the three button combo while it auto-reboots.
You'll get into the custom recovery, and you can flash su.zip and anything else you'd like while you're there.
Reboot the phone, and you should see that you're rooted just fine. The problem now is that there is a script that gets run on every startup called "/system/etc/install-recovery.sh" that re-installs the stock recovery on every boot. Now that you're rooted, use whatever means you'd like (file expert, terminal emulator, etc.) to get into /system/etc/ and delete that file.
You'll have to do one final odin/heimdall of the custom recovery.bin, but after that, you should be rooted and have a permanent custom recovery on stock EI22!
Sure, it's a workaround, but it's not that hard, and it works! It's easy to let the devs do everything for us, but every now and again it's good to get into your device and figure out the way things work on your own.
Good luck!

Thanks followed this guide made cwm 3.1.0.1 and root sticked. I am like many others likes to have everything as stock and as little changes so i didnt want to flash any custom kernel. This method will retain everything from stock just minus 1 script.
This is my revised method which only need to flash cwm 3.1.0.1 in odin 2 times and it will stick there forever.
Comming from a bone stock EI22
1. flash cwm 3.1.0.1 with reboot checked off (nothing check), put file in pda.
http://drockstar.devphone.org/EpicTar/cwm3.1.0.1.tar.md5
2. when its done, unplug data cable and pull out battery.
without rebooting system.
3. vol down, camera, power, to get into cwm recovery
4. install su.zip and reboot the phone (now you have root)
http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/su-3.0-efgh-signed.zip
5. install es explorer from market
5a. under menu/setting check the box root explorer and mount file system
5b. browse into phone /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
delete "install-recovery.sh" script or move it to your sd card if you want to retain a copy.
(long press into that file and delete option will come out)
6. shut off your phone
7. odin cwm 3.1.0.1 again with reboot checked
8. restart, cwm and root will be stick forever.

I think it would be a good idea to copy that script and put it somewhere instead of deleting it just in case you want to go back to bone stock in the future (who knows an ICS update LOL). Once copied, then delete the file.

you can odin the ec05 stock rom and update to ei22 and it will put that file back in. doesnt hurt to move that file to your sd card i guess.
Here is the stock EC05 ROM you are looking for. It formats your phone back to the RFS file system, but keeps your phone rooted and with CWM3.1.0.1
There is also a link on that page if you want to make your recovery go back to stock as well.
If you want to just ODIN and get onto EI22 stock, check this out. It's still RFS but it's deodexed, so a little faster. Comes with EC05 modem, which seems to still be more stable than the EI22, especially when it comes to Wifi.
EDIT: I take that back, that EI22 isn't so stock anymore, but it's closest you're going to get to a stock-ish EI22 that actually functions.
Odin back to stock EC05, update.zip, modified kernel patch and cwm the su.zip worked for me.
One question though.. stock OTA/update.zip is ODEXED, correct? Can I deodex what I have or do I need to re-flash a deodex stock rom and would I do it before or after uninstalling bloat?

OTA stock is Odexed, correct. Deodexing yourself takes some time... it's not just removing files, you'll have to edit quite a few things. If you're going to deodex your system using the ROM, you just ODIN it from wherever you are now. It will erase everything, like starting from scratch. But you can restore your data on top of it if you backed it up first.
