What do I need to do to go back to full stock? Is it enough to just flash the stock zip in recovery and then lock via fastboot command or do I need to flash something else too?
The stock ZIP in recovery should suffice. Obviously the device won't be locked but it'll be stock in terms of the OS

I'd like to go back to cm from stock 4.2.2. I wont have access to a computer to flash via fast boot. So anyone know of a flash able zip to go back to baseband and boot loader from 4.2.1?
Hi Guys,
So I'd rooted the Nexus 4 by unlocking the bootloader and flashing the rooted kernel. I didn't flash a custom ROM after that. So what I had was a 4.2.2 Stock ROM with a rooted kernel so I could use the root functions. Now I get a system update notification after it downloads the new stock 4.3 on its own on my phone. But now since I don't have the stock recovery, selecting " Reboot and install update" after the system update downloads just leads me to the CWM recovery and obviously I don't have a custom update.zip to flash.
So my question is..How do I flash back the stock recovery and hence lose root and update to 4.3 without flashing the STOCK ROM back, thereby keeping my existing apps on 4.2.2. intact? So what I wanna do is flash the stock kernel which restores the stock recovery...Let the stock system update itself to 4.3 and then maybe Root the phone again..
Could someone kindly direct me to a solution?
Would appreciate a quick response
Cheers!
There's no way to restore to stock without wiping everything

Download the factory images, you can find stock recovery inside. Flash the recovery.img in bootloader mode.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Kernel and recovery is 2 separated partition in Nexus 4, so flashing kernel won't restore your recovery.
Hi there, I rooted this phone a while back and for some reason decided to also load a custom recovery (Pretty sure it's TWRP) even though I was using stock firmware and just wanted root. Now the phone's trying to do an OTA and it won't work of course because of my custom recovery. I was wondering if someone had a link to a stock recovery I could flash via ODIN/Heimdall? Thanks!
P.S. If you could include a step-by-step on what I need to do, that'd be nice. As far as I remember it's just putting the phone in Download Mode and flashing the .tar file via ODIN.
I put TWRP on it but I'd like to be able to go back to the stock recovery without flashing the whole stock rom.
edit: stock lollipop recovery for 8.0
Find your rom online(just google "sm-**** stock rom"), Open the rom with 7-zip. There is going to be a file called recovery.img. You can flash that with TWRP
I recommend samsungbay.com. It has faster download speeds
So I'm in a custom rom, twrp installed.
I want to go back to stock rom with relocked bootloader and official recovery (as it came out of box) what can i do?

You can flash AFT ROM through fastboot mode. It'll revert everything back to stock, including recovery. You can download everything here.
