Stock ICS Rom for cricket you will find here.
Download the OTA, unzip the firmware.zip inside, and unzip from firmware.zip the recovery inside. This you can flash with fastboot and OTA should work with it.
Otherwise you will find stock JB rom/backup for cricket here.

Is it possible to run stock rom with S-OFF, rooted device and CWR (with OTA available)?

Yes you can run stock rom with s-off and root access however I am not sure if OTA updates will still work. Even if they did work I would imagine you would lose root access once the OTA update has been applied.
So when I flash stock ruu.exe nothing happens with S-OFF neither root?
You will need the stock recovery to get OTA updates to install, they won't work with CWM
and with stock recovery I'll be able to create backups of installed roms? And how do I reinstall stock recovery?
thx
You can't backup with the stock recovery, no
Got it, thx.
And how do I install stock recovery?
Get it from an RUU, then flash it using fastboot commands
Android Recovery Manager
There is a much easier solution: Android Recovery Manager
Hello, how can I reflash the stock JB rom to my One S S3? I have flashed Superboot for Ville c2 in order to root and try changing the CID, but I couldn't change it... So I flashed back the stock boot.img in order to unroot and then relocked the bootloader. Now I'm on stock recovery and relocked bootloader. I have the OTA package: OTA_VILLEC2_U_JB_45_S_hTC_Asia_TW_3.14.709.102_16.22.20.03U_16.11.20.24_M_release_303237zzidki5gzxfkv5gs.zip.
Please help me to flash it so I can be sure that I'll get future OTA updates!
Also I don't want that SU application which appeared after flashing the Superboot for Ville c2
Thank you in advance!
Anyone...???

If you have Stock ROM with Stock recovery and you want tu update your phone, go yo About-->Software Updates section and Check Updates. This will prompt the updates you have.
if you want uninstall SuperSu, do a Factory Reset, this will erase all your phone (Make Backup Before).

I'm already on stock JB and the Check for Updates is not an option for me... I did a factory reset, but SuperSu is still there, so I want to reflash the rom... How can I do it?
guess, you have to wait when someone do a proper JB RUU. I need it, as well.
I need to flash the stock recovery for my Maxx, but I'm not sure where I can get it. Any ideas?
why do you need it (if you are in custom recovery and hence rooted)? Are you getting ready for the OTA? I hope you have unlocked your bootloader...
Then its better to return to stock as a whole and the details are here... Yes, the recovery will be stock one and you can receive OTA without any issue. BootLoader will still remain unlocked. Re-rooting is also as simple (even after ota MOSTLY) as flashing TWRP recovery..
here it is, grab it.
its 4.4 droid maxx stock recovery.
You can find all stock firmwares here:
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=4
Download the 4.4 file and pull the recovery.img file out and flash it with fastboot
Hello,
I have a rooted Verizon HTC One M8 running on Android 4.4.2. I do not have the stock recovery and for some reason I am unable to flash CWM, so I am stuck with TWRP. I keep receiving notifications that Lollipop is available to install, but it fails each time I try to install it because I am rooted. How can I unroot and get back to my stock ROM so that I can install the update?
No need to update via OTA. Just follow the instructions here and you'll be on rooted 5.0.1 stock

Questions
Thank you for the reply. Are you 100% sure this is compatible/will work with my phone? If I flash the ROM and it doesn't work, can I simply flash a backup image I made to recover? And when I flash the ROM, will I lose all the data on my phone? Also, where may I download my stock recovery? I searched all over the internet and couldn't find one for the Verizon version of the HTC One M8.
Thank you
That RUU is a complete stock firmware package, including the recovery. Read the OP.
But if you're just looking for the stock recovery you can find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52017763
That alone won't let you take the OTA though. If you modified your stock rom the OTA will fail.
You can find a complete stock rom elsewhere here on XDA, but why the trouble if you have it all in one neat package with the RUU?
Thank you very much for the help and useful information.
Sorry to bother you with all the questions but I have one more. How do I make a backup of my stock recovery? Say I went out and bought a new phone, how would I backup that stock recovery?

Unlocked U11 with unlocked bootloader, trwrp recovery and rooted stock. Have not flashed custom rom. Steps to take OTA Oreo?
Flash back to stock. Use the firmware zip it is on now to reset. You should then be able to take ota's. No need to unroot, relock etc.
Flash stock unrooted FW due twrp?
Sent from my HTC U11 using XDA Labs
Believe I have bricked my device. Flashed RUU using appropriate RUU exe from HTC. Intaller ran for @1hour with 0% process. Battery was at 93% and ran to under 30% halting process. Had to disconnect to recharge. Will call HTC to see if they can help.
Update- All cool. Battery died, charged phone boots up fine. Still on stock. Need to restore stock recovery.

If I'm not mistaken, flashing back to stock with the ruu will in affect unroot your phone. You'd still have twrp and an unlocked bootloader, but you'd have to install SuperUser or Magisk again.
Am I correct?

Flashing back to stock with the ruu will replace TWRP with stock recovery, thus making it able to take OTA.
If it's rooted or TWRP installed, it will stall at beginning of OTA process .

What if you just remove twrp and go back to the stock recovery? Would it then break root?

You could remove root of SuperSU or Magisk and then flash stock recovery over TWRP.
Haven't tried that and not sure if it would work. A rooted phone won't take OTA.
Would save restore chores if you could.

only way to take OTA is go back to stock rom by using RUU (will lost data, back to stock recovery, unroot already).
On rooted stock rom, i tried unroot and flash stock recovery by ADB but it still cant install OTA update
Flashing back to stock will unroot and flash stock recovery. If you dont do it that way you cannot update ota as the signature of the firmware is broken. You have to 're-sign' the firmware by flashing it again.
Flashing stock firmware will NOT relock or lock the bootloader. It will NOT s-on. If your bootloader is unlocked and/or s-off do not change them as there is no need.
3 essentials for the m9 are:
Stock firmware ruu.zip
S-off
Charger cable.
