Remove clockwork recovery?

Okay guys Im trying to un root my Aria so I can retun it to ATT.. After reading the "method for 100% factory restore, unrooted" (Sorry it wont let me add links) thread I couldnt find the original shipped rom so I used ROM manager to restore back to stock rom then used the rom update located on the HTC website.. This has unrooted the phone according to ROM manager and removed superuser but Clockwork recovery is still on the phone.. How do I restore factory recovery mode??

Quick CWM question

I used the lokified tool to root my phone and did the CWM recovery not TWRP. After getting everything up and running with a rom I downloaded rom manager from the play store and flashed the update, is everything good with my phone or do I now have to reflash the original cwm from the tool. Thanks for any help.

You'll be fine with the current one.
Now that u have a working recovery there is a auto Loki recovery zip file u can flash using your current cwm recovery.

Unable to backup stock Android ROM

I've tried to create a backup of my current stockrom using apps like rom manager, cwm and team win. Whenever I click on the "backup" tab, it will reboot my phone and it will show the Android icon with its "belly" opened up. Once the phone boots up again, I can't find any trace of the backup file. What am I doing wrong?
I'm using the d802 version if that helps

it sounds like you have lost your recovery?try and reflash twrp or cwm I prefer twrp, with one of the methods on the twrp or cwm section in xda I have used flashify to install before now but once you have recovery you can then reflash them again if not working correctly if it has backed up your stock rom it will show up in apps like rom manager
have you checked in twrp or cwm that you have the necessary files checked before you back up ie mount and then tick all boxes?system,cache,dalvik,data,efs
hope this might help? is your current rom etc showing up in twrp or cwm folders say in es file manager (another good app to manage all your files)

[Q] [Newbie Question] In what order do I update recovery/rom/kernel/root

Heya,
After some months using stock rom decided I wanna juice it up.
I used to flash roms on my S2 a lot, but its been a while.
I see all kind of install instructions in threads saying I need to have root before I can install that or that, but currently my phone is not rooted.
I wiped it clean using factory reset, so I guess I am good to do.
What do I do first and how (download mode / just open up a zip from my phone)
The end goal is have a rooted phone with some neat rom (Currently downloaded Pardus HD Rom, but didn't install anything yet).
Thanks

thanks for this, but I still have some doubts!
Should I do a nandroid backup if I ever want to go back to stock? or LG has another way of backing up?
My real question is, if I flash TWRP then If I have to go back to stock would it help to have a backup of my phone and just restore from TWRP? and when restoring the backup how I get the stock recovery?
thank you again
Creating a nandroid from recovery (TWRP, CWM, etc.), then restoring the backup, will not revert the phone back to "stock" condition. If you need to unroot and / or revert to stock recovery, then you'll need to use either the *.kdz or *.tot method to do so. A nandroid backup saves the following...
The operating system itself (so you can make a copy of your stock or custom ROM and return to it if desired)
All apps (including those you installed yourself or that came with the device)
All games and your progress in them
All pictures
All music
All videos
All text and picture messages
All wallpapers
All widgets
All ringtones
All login and account settings
All system settings
All stored passwords, including WiFi passwords
