Thank you and Questions

Thank you for posting the clearest guide possible on how to setup the Verizon Samsung Galaxy Developer Edition.
I have two questions:
1. Is there a clear guide on how to get the device back to stock (including Recovery)?
2. In looking at all the ROMs and breakout of the files is there a guide on the different partitions and how to know what should be done and in what order? I don't want to end up with a Retail version and need to update from the version that it was shipped with NCG to NK2.

Thanks
