New OTA has been released by Asus. How to flash it without unrooting. Is there a modified recovery or a modified rom image which can be used?

Hi Guys,
So I'd rooted the Nexus 4 by unlocking the bootloader and flashing the rooted kernel. I didn't flash a custom ROM after that. So what I had was a 4.2.2 Stock ROM with a rooted kernel so I could use the root functions. Now I get a system update notification after it downloads the new stock 4.3 on its own on my phone. But now since I don't have the stock recovery, selecting " Reboot and install update" after the system update downloads just leads me to the CWM recovery and obviously I don't have a custom update.zip to flash.
So my question is..How do I flash back the stock recovery and hence lose root and update to 4.3 without flashing the STOCK ROM back, thereby keeping my existing apps on 4.2.2. intact? So what I wanna do is flash the stock kernel which restores the stock recovery...Let the stock system update itself to 4.3 and then maybe Root the phone again..
Could someone kindly direct me to a solution?
Would appreciate a quick response
Cheers!
There's no way to restore to stock without wiping everything

Download the factory images, you can find stock recovery inside. Flash the recovery.img in bootloader mode.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Kernel and recovery is 2 separated partition in Nexus 4, so flashing kernel won't restore your recovery.
Hello -
I have the original Nexus 7 and was wanting to update to the new JWR66Y release. I am on a stock rooted rom at the moment. Can I just flash a rooted version of this update? And where can I find a recommended rom?
I tried to flash that grouper.zip via TWRP but it fails when I try and flash it. Am I suppoded to try and OTA update, then flash the grouper.zip?
Thanks in advance for you help!!
What was the error? I had to replace the 'debuggerd' file and then flash the grouper.zip in twrp recovery. Then flashed the supersu 1.51 zip to get root back.

I am requesting stock recovery for kitkat 4.4.2 build G8. And JB 4.3.
my purpose is that, if we want to update our device via OTA we just need to flash the stock recovery instead of flashing the whole stock firmware via Odin, to avoid the "system modified status"when updating via OTA.
Can we get OTA updates through custom recovery in such a method?
Get OTA files from an unrooted S5 when it's ready to OTA and flash it to a rooted S5 through the custom recovery?
Is there a way to get the OTA files?
I have a rooted S5 and I just used Kies and it installed the update with no data loss for me ******still back it up***** Then I just reinstalled a custom recovery and SuperSU binaries to root.
I think you cant since stock rom OTA needs a stock recovery
Not only a stock recovery but also unrooting the phone.
Samsung OTA must do a rom check is quite annoying, while Huawei's OTA does not check whether you rom is modified but the files to be updated.
Can you Guys Please Tell Me How To Change Software Status From Modified to Official
I Had Rooted My Device, Unlocked Bootloader and Custom Recovery But Never Installed Ant Custom ROM's
So, When The Official Nougat Update Came, I unrooted my device and installed stock recovery
What else do i need to do? Please Help
U need to flash whole firmware, then software status will change to official.
Flashing a stock firmware didnt change mine from modified to ofiicial... but what i found is that you have to flash a stock rom and then update the rom via OTA... here you have to flash a stock rom which already has an ota update... for example the stock rom is "1" and already has an ota update ie "2", then you have to flash "1" first through fastboot/rsd and then update to "2" via ota... it should change from modified to official...
