CWM Recovery after losing root?

[GalaxyNexusPH]

Hi everyone. I'd like to know if I can still use CWM Recovery to use my nandroid backup after flashing a non-rooted or corrupt rom. I'm trying to compile AOSP and if all goes well the OTA zip will not be rooted. Will I be able to revert changes?

You should be able to yes. I've flashed stock, then reflashed CWMR and restored a backup before.

Does that mean I have to root again and install CWM or just reboot in recovery mode?

If you're currently stock, you'll need to re-root and flash CWM recovery.

I'm using CM9 nightlies with CWM Recovery. I have an AOKP and CM9 nandroid backup. I'm planning to flash the rom I just compiled. Is it possible to use CWM to return to CM9? Will CWM be wiped out when I flash the AOSP rom?

Okay I just flashed the AOSP rom I compiled and it worked. Forced close on some apps including Gtalk and Facebook. Low sound output unlike in AOKP and CM9. I removed the recovery folder in the OTA Zip because I saw it in a compile guide on the net so it won't overwrite my recovery folder.

Everything worked perfectly. CWM recovery mode still there. I'm restoring back to CM9. I'll try to root and busybox my build then add the mods from Apex, AOSP, and CM9 that I like. The rom was only 94MB and it had a bootanimation similar to the Gingerbread emulator.

Thanks Everyone.
