There is no bootloader other than stock.
For info in ota, read "ota help-desk" in general

Okay not sure then. I know if you are rooted with a locked boot loader to get the lock with the word custom under it.

It should be locked again unless you used a ota root keeper. Kind of strange, but I guess you could always just odin the BLK3 ROM so it is completely stock.

Had the same thing, it would only trip of I had created a nand backup. It will disappear when you unlock bootloader.

OTA ROM?

I'm rooted, but is there a way to flash the latest stock OTA ROM after coming from a custom ROM? I can't find the stock OTA ROM anywhere.

Search for "Beanstown106" and you'll come up with the official VRBLK3 and the leaked VRBMA2 in the dev section.

Just extract the 4.4.2 image and you`ll find the BL HHZ11k and flash in fastboot/flashify.
