How to flash back to stock with root?

Stupid me didn't make a backup and flashed another ROM. How do I flash back the stock ROM, enabling me to get OTAs but maintain root? I want the original stock ROM...

Not really much of a point having the ability to get OTA when a new one comes out, a dev will do what is below shortly after anyway. OTA's are over rated..
Android OS, 4.1.1 Jellybean build JRO03D
Insecure boot.img
Rooted with the latest superuser
Busybox
Deodexed and Odexed options
Fully Zipaligned

Note that the downloads apparently don't work at the moment.
If you used the nexus root toolkit, it has the factory image there for you to flash back to stock and/or unroot/relock the device. Windows users only. -Ara

So is there no flashable zip for stock? I am a Mac. I rooted on my little brother's PC but he lives 1600 miles from me.

Did you take a look at the [Guide] Returning to Stock and/or Unbricking your device directions in the Nexus 7 Android Development forum?
If using a Mac, see the following link for setting up ADB/Fastboot drivers on Mac OS X.
How to Setup ADB and FASTBOOT Drivers on MAC
Edit to add: Factory image for the Nexus 7 can be downloaded at this Google link.

Can't start any Custom Rom

IT seems that any custom Rom I load just sits at the startup animation on first boot. None will Load. I can revert back to Stock without a problem.
Any Idea's?
You need to provide more info. Which stock version are you using? what bootloader version you on? What roms have you tried, and what are they based on (4.1.x, 4.2.x) ? CWM, or twrp?

Started with 4.2.2, used the nexus 7 tool kit to perform root, install recovery, etc. Using twrd 2.4 fir recovery. Smooth rim was the latest. Tried 2 others but the names escape me right now. I have rooted and loaded custom rooms on my last 3 phones so I am not s complete noob but am not an expert either

[Q] Rooting, CM and upcomming Android 4.4

I want to root my Nexus 4 and install newest CM. One problem is, that there is Android 4.4 update comming soon. So if I root my Nexus and install CM, can I get my phone back to stock and update Android to 4.4?
Yes. You can either flash the 4.4 images, or simply install a 4.4 based custom ROM (the more practical solution my opinion) since you will already have installed a custom recovery.

If I have CM installed, can I somehow get everything to stock. Like my Nexus 4 just came out of box?

From 4.1.1 to 4.4

So I've neglected my nexus for long enough. To go from 4.1.1 to 4.4 do I just flash a new ROM or do I need to flash a new kernel and firmware first??

Get the factory image, extract it and open the extracted folder, if you're using linux run "flash-all.sh" / windows run "flash-all.bat" while your nexus is connected in FastBoot mode. If you open the script in a text editor you will see that everything is already in it.
