You could flash a recovery and then another Custom ROM or reflash the stock ROM and then reroot it.

Yeah guys like the topic says how can i root this update?? Or is there a chance i can go back to froyo without being rooted?
Find a guide to flash clockworkmod recovery using NVFlash. Download a froyo rom and flash/restore it.

No, you cannot flash another ROM without being rooted. If you ran LG's updater than CWM has been replaced with the stock recovery.
Root again using NVFlash: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...hlight=nvflash
Once you're rooted, the rooted version of 2.3.3 that can be flashed in CWM can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1179748
Just trying to get this straight. Will my device return back to stock if I upgrade to ics from revolver rom hc, through the normal asus updating thing from settings?

I don't think you can OTA update if you're on a custom ROM.
Just download the stock firmware from Asus and flash it via CWM recovery.
It will put you back at stock ROM and recovery

That easy, eh? Thank you!!
So is there anyway to keep my recovery or root when I flash an ota update?
If there is no way. Then anyway to install cwm and root from just the phone?
I do my updates etc when I have down time and that's usually on lunch or when my laptop is not around so handling everything from the phone would be very nice.

You will lose root when flashing an OTA, but it is just one extra step to flash the SuperSU (takes less than a minute) to regain root. I keep the SuperSU file on my phone and just flash it from there.
I use TWRP, and haven't lost my custom recovery while flashing 4.4.1 or 4.4.2 yet.
(I stay stock rooted - you can't safely take OTA if you aren't on the stock ROM)

I haven't used CWM, so can't say. But with TWRP, I flashed the update, and let the phone start up fully. Then, when I saw that root was gone, I shut down and booted back into TWRP, and flashed SuperSU. and then, booted back up. TWRP is still there.
(I'm rooted, stock ROM with custom recovery as well)
I use TWRP also. I flash the OTA, then Flash the SuperSU and then I reboot. Have yet to lose root
So not really a way of keeping cwm or root... But this is how I did it without needing a computer with me.
Flashed updated in cwm... Then flashed root... Then reboot... Used ROM manager to reinstall cwm.... Everything is good to go.

Or do like I do wait a couple of hours for one of the great devs we have here to give us a fully working updated stock rom with su and busybox built in.
All you can ask for from a rooted stock rom.
Download the system images and use flashify to flash all the files you need.

Will following a unrooting guide that uses odin to flash back to a stock rom also uninstall CWM, and get me back to a stock recovery?

Yes
If you take the update after you Odin back to stock then you'll be on the 4.3 update and completely locked down. Just keep that in mind.

I have had my moto g for a while now and I am quite tempted to root it. But then having an unlocked bootloader would not allow me to receive any Ota updates if I am not wrong. Is there any way to receive updates with an unlocked bootloader because once I unlock my bootloader, I am not going to relock it again..

You will get OTA updates in rooted phone and you can Install it if you have stock recovery... You can't install OTA update If you have custom recovery like cwm or twrp...

So that means before updating I need to revert back to the stock recovery before updating.Also can I download the entire Asian stock firmware and then flash only the recovery using adb?Thanks for your help.

Flashing recvery wont work, you need t go back to full stock rom , update it, and do flash custom recoery and root it.. I tried long back flashing stock recovery and update, but that didnt work for me...
