[Q] Official Stock Rom + ClockworkMod Recovery

Hi, this is perhaps a newbie question,
I have root and I am running CyongenMod and wanted to go back to the official stock for Nexus S. How can I go about doing that? Will I still be able to run ClockworkMod Recovery? And will I be able to install other mods in the future or does stock take away root access?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Which ns do you have?

The original one (from T-Mobile). Nexus S (not 4G).
Edit: I think this info is necessary.

OTA updates on rooted device

If I am on stock rom on a rooted device may I install OTA Updates without bricking my xoom? Will it mess up my system or will I just loose root?
At the moment I am on Tiamat "Moray" and after each reboot I'll have to make my micro SD read/write able manually ...
Is this a "problem" with "Moray" or will I have the same "problem" when I'm on an actual stock rom?

running the ota on a rooted device will not do anything. The update checks to see if stock and when its not it aborts. If you want to update check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1278214
Remember that, that is for us wifi xooms only.

Thanks a lot - I didn't know that!

Now you know, and knowing is half the battle!!

what does it mean?

Tanks.
To your question: It's possible if you're rooted. There's a magisk module.

I honestly thought it was just a well placed ad ?

Sry, I had to do it. ?
Anyway, maybe it's possible via ADB package installation, removing poco launcher is definitely possible, MIUI stock also has a package name, you can find it in the bloatware thread (sry I'm on mobile can't link)

Can I install official TWRP right from plays store in a OP8 (IN2015) ??

Hi ! I have a OnePlus 8 IN2015 with bootloader unlocked but not rooted , I understand the official TWRP recently added support for this device (instant noodle)
My question is can I just hit download TWRP and follow the instructions and be done straight from the phone ? Do I need magisk first ?
Also when I click the drop down menu to search for a device it says failed to connect to the server ?

It's been quite a while since I've flash anything on my devices but none of this is new to me, I just been feeling the itch to start flashing stuff again, I just wanted to be completely sure before flashing.

The lastest Jailbreak was released only after the patch was done on FW 5.14.3. If wish to explore this possibility go ahead else try latest JailBreak.
For instructions click here
There is another jailbreak working with FW 5.13.3 or lower.
{Mod edit: Hyperlinks removed; please refer to here.}

Any other possibilities of JB latest FW?

There has got to be a way to reflash the chip with the bootloader on it, or to flash the nand manually with an older version.
