Does anyone have the original image file to flash back into the phone so that custom recovery will be removed?
kdz should restore original recovery too.
I was hoping to retain everything else

Hi. I would like to ask how can I make my phone's stock recovery backup (just in case I will need it later for whatever reason) prior to flash custom?
Maybe there is already post about this and it would be kind if someone could redirect me there. Somehow I didn't manage to find any thread about such a subject. Thanks.

i dont think stock recovery can be backed up. But you can flash stock recovery later at any point from custom recovery as zip file made by ciaox http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1065197
or you can flash by lgmdp also.
Just successfully rooted my galaxy s 2. Now gonna flash CWM . But what is the easiest way to backup my current stock recovery? So that I can revert back to stock recovey if needed.

You can use something like MyBackup pro to backup your apps & stuff, but you won't get an 'image' of your setup like you will with a Nandroid backup done in CWRecovery. Or you could probably use Kies I guess (not sure about how this works though, have never used Kies for anything).
Best way to go would be to install CWM then do your backup before you go making any other changes to your phone (like flashing a custom rom). This will give you a backup of your setup as close as possible to it's original state (tho obviously rooted).
If you want to go back completely to stock (no root), all you'd need to do would be to download your original firmware from somewhere like Sammobile.com (until Intra gets his stock firmware collection up and running again) and flash that in Odin. Or you could get the latest stock firmware available for your phone/carrier/country with Checkfus (PC app, search for it on here/Google) flash the tarball you download in Odin.

Don't think CWM backs up your stock recovery just everything else, to revert back to stock recovery you would just have to flash stock firmware but lose root in the process.

Just as addition to MisthaBungle:
1. Flash a kernel containing CWM recovery (such as CF-Root).
2. Create a Nandroid backup in recovery mode (or use CWM Manager app if available).
If you want or have to restore your stock system, you can restore this Nandroid backup, but you will have to flash the stock kernel afterwards in order to replace the insecure/custom kernel containing the CWM recovery.
Alternatively you can do it like bubba949 described:
Just download and flash the latest officially released stock ROM to your phone, if you want or have to go back to stock.
I recommend to do a Nandroid backup before flashing a new kernel/ROM, just to be sure that you are able to go a step back in case something does not work.
So you will have an additional option ;-)
Thanks all of you for your assistance. I'm doing well with my phone since root.

If I want to restore my backup of the stock rom, I obviously have to flash the boot.img. so:
1. Anybody have a link for the stock boot.img? Or can I extract it from the TWRP backup? Or do I have to download full stock rom zip to extract?
2. Should I not bother with boot.img, delete the backup, and just RUU if I want to go back to stock? bother
Thanks everybody

Hi,
I've been trying to find a stock recovery partition image to flash so I can remove clockworkmod and go back to my stock image.
From searching the forums it appears that all links to the stock recovery partition, and stock 2.3.4 ROM are dead.
What do I have to do to flash a Photon 4G back to stock 2.3.4? Does anyone have a copy of the stock recovery partition?
Thanks,
Jthon
The easiest way to to do that is to SBF back to stock. It will flash the stock recovery and rom. Just make sure to wipe everything beforehand. It doesn't mess with the internal or ext sdcard and is relatively safe
