Would using ODIN to flash back to stock and using the Master Clear remove root?

ODIN back to stock will remove everything and put it back to the state that the phone was in when you took it out of the box. You will, however, still have some file system stuff hanging around from before. You'd have to clear your SD card of that information. But you should be unrooted and back to normal.
So if I were to use ODIN, could I still use Titanium Backup to get all my apps and games back? Because I want to go back to stock without root, but still have my apps and the info for them too.
nope - titanium backup needs root to work
Why the concern about root?
I just feel like going back to stock for a while, no real reason.

Unless you've really made some major changes, i.e. new ROM, Kernal, radio, you are at stock. You could just flash to stock, root, re-apply through TB and you still are at the base of the phone settings.
So TB will still have my stuff even if I do the flash? Or do I need to save the backup to my computer?

Save back up to your computer if you are going to master clear. If just odin flash not necessary
If you're still wondering about this, I unrooted using the root file found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884364
Then, I unrooted using the unroot.zip file found in the Galaxy one click root/unroot rar file. In both cases, you copy the file to your phone's root directory and then rename it to update.zip and follow the procedures in the thread linked above. Linke for the galaxy one click root/unroot is here:

can i restore a nandroid backup if i flash some other rom??
app data will also be restored i.e games levels etc..??
Nandroide is a image/snapshot that is stored on your SD card, that you always can flash back to later, after you e.g. have flashed another ROM.
this means i will be back on older rom..for backing data of apps use titanium backup??
There are 2 types of backups.
Nandroid is created using CWM recovery, which is an image file of everything you have got on ur phone. This backup is useful if u flashed another rom and for some reason you want to go back to original/stock rom. This is like recovery disc for ur windows computer, used for to go back to factory settings. Dont ever flash something else on ur phone without creating a nandroid backup. This is also useful in case of warranty repairs.
Second is app and data backup through titanium or such applications. This is more used if you want to backup all the apps u have installed on ur phone, so that for example, i have 200 + apps installed, i flash 3 different roms in 1 week, i dont want to spend time keep installing those apps again and again each time i flash a different rom, i will use titanium to backup all those apps n just restore those apps once i flash a new rom.
Hope this clears any doubts.
Cheers!!!

What do you mean by "before losing data"? Did you do nandroid? If so, you still have everything on you.

Oh oh... Thats not a good news.
Well, just in case, take a look at this thread... it has got a collection of Factory shipped ROMs, may be your version of IS is one of them and so if you want to go Stock, you can probably get back to Stock without not much of hassle.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033922
And also, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1287111
Take a look at this link also, it has got a plenty of information about pretty much everything and also as per OP, its been updated weekly.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136463
Besides, I don't think there are much complications if you don't have Nandroid. Nandroid is basically a tool to go back to stock mostly in case of warranty repairs, but if your phone is not crapping out on you, as long as it works, you don't probably need Stock.
Hope you will not run into too many troubles.
Good Luck

already downloaded d stock one.actually quite easy to get back to stock..
one more q after i restored from nandroid, do i still need to resore apps from titanium??

After restore from nandroid, you do not need to restore apps from titanium.
It will keep a snapshot of your current rom, hence include your apps. It didn't include radio though, it is separate entity.
Your backup through titanium is save in sd card though.

I think this answers my question: I backed up my stock ROM before I S-OFF and rooted so, if I needed to go back to stock ROM for say warrenty issues, I should just be able to restore this backup, rather than have to download and flash a stock RUU? This will put me back to S-ON and unrooted? If so, pretty glad I did that

No, if u restore it from nandroid, you dont have to restore any app data. Thats the benefit of nandroid. Its got everything as is including the background, the way you had it set up.

Wait, how did u manage a backup before s-off?
The steps are,
Get s-off
Get root access
Install clockworkmod or any other recovery program
Boot into recovery
Backup ur current rom - aka nandroid
Enjoy flashing - for some reason if flashing goes bad, you will be safe and can restore and bring back ur phone to life with nandroid
To get back s-on for warranty repair, nandroid wont help. There are a couple of threads which explains how to do so. Check the links i have posted in one of my previous comments.
Good luck.

Where is the thanks-button?
Just to clarify it more in a question.
Nandroid takes an image of your active OS with all the programs/settings/phonebook/calendar/facebookcontactlinks saved into it. So if you restore that image, your phone is back like nothing happened with all your hours of settings and apps included at point of image taking? Not even a factory reset?

Thanks button is right below my post. Lol.
Anyways, answer to your question is, yes, it does back up everything as you have set on your phone.
It includes things like your wallpaper, your wireless passwords, your images and settings in camera, your games and game progress data, your contacts, your messages, even your emails, your notes... anything and everything you can think of, which is done by you on your phone, nandroid will create an image of everything as of the moment you create a backup.
For example, if you created a backup on 1st, then your flashed another rom, you didn't like the custom rom you flashed, so now you want to go back to the factory rom, you restore your phone from nandroid on the 10th, once the restoration is finished, you will be same as it is as you were on the 1st when you created a backup.
Hope this clears out any of the doubts.
Nandroid Backup is really powerful.
Good Luck.

Thing is, you will never need to go back to S-On until and unless your phone is legitimately broken and you have warranty and needed it fixed.
If everything is running smooth without any hiccups, you are better off with S-Off forever as long as you use your phone.
But, because you are now S-Off, first thing you want to do is to have a nandroid, which is your savior at the end.
So, my 2 cents worth suggestion would be, get S-Off, get root access, install CWM, boot into CWM and create a nandroid. Mount your SD Card, go to /ClockworkMod folder and copy that backup file from your SD Card to somewhere safe, probably on your computer. Once you did this much, do whatever you want to do with your phone. You can flash any ROM you want... Play with it... etc...
Good Luck
Cheers!!!

i have been lurking these forums for a while. but made an account for this. i have been flashing roms and what not for about 6 months. as i was fed up with waiting for updates. anyway straight to the question.
my IMEI has changed recently to the 004999010640000 generic one. does that mean is corrupted. what are the risks/problems that i will face if i leave it or try to restore? should i re flash stock and work my way back to custom roms again? or are there other methods that i can do? do these methods restore the original IMEI or a new one. is there a problem with that?
its been like that for about 2 months. i have no backups. it also makes my phone show up twice on marketplace on a desktop. i guess google can see the difference.
i found my old imei . fair sure i shouldn't tell you what it is. is there a way to change it back to that code? without to much hassle? i really dont want to flash back to froyo and start again. i would settle with a factory wipe and some instructions on preventing this from happening again
Please follow instructions at own risk. I am fairly new to all of this but below is what work for me.
If you have a backup, which I did, then you should have an efs folder inside your backup folder. This contains the files you need. (nv_data.bin.md5 & nv_data.bin)
The easiest is to place these to files in the root folder of your internal sd card. Then with something like Root Explorer copy these files & then go to the actual efs folder of your phone and paste them of the existing files in this folder.
Once you have done this delete the nv_data.bak.md5, nv_data.bak and nv_log files.
If you don't have a backup others have said the best is to flash a stock rom which should then restore your original IMEI number. I have not personally done this but it is mentioned a lot.
I don't know how to change the IMEI number any other way.
i was hoping there was an easyer way. i dont have a baack up but i guess i will have to make one when i get it back. ill try it when i get some free time. would any stock rom work or do i have to get a build thats froyo or ginger. would this idea work?
first make back up of files i need. and do a titanium backup and nand
second flash back to stock. check for restored imei
3rd make backup of efs.
4th follow steps to get custom rom working again
5th restore nand backup
6th if imei is lost again use backup.
I just wish there was an easy way to do it other than going back to old firmware

There is if you had made a backup. Unfortunately without a back, which you should always make, you need to take the long route...
I read that the app called Galaxy_S Unlock by Helroz can fix your problem. You need rooted phone.
I have flashed alot of roms and hav alot of efs backups bt all these are just logs. R they useful?

just go to any CWM recovery and in backup and restore option, backup efs or vice-versa !
My HTC One is with Rogers and I had it rooted using the all in one toolkit. The last time it was running I was on the Nandroid backup as listed below which comes unrooted, but I rooted it with CWM recovery. .

So tonight I decided to go and unroot and flash the stock recovery because there was an OTA update available but would not install due to custom recovery. I followed the same process which is restore the nandroid backup from Whampahoofus as it is by default unrooted, I restored my data from tonights nandroid backup, booted up fine and tested that I was able to use the phone as is. I then went ahead and flashed the stock recovery (which is below)

Success, I now had stock recovery, and unrooted. I didn't relock my bootloader as I didnt feel it was necessary just to successfully install an OTA update. I went ahead and it did go through and download the OTA, it started to install the downloaded OTA and about a quarter of the way through the progress bar, it is still there. Going for the past >30 minutes now. I cant seem to reboot out of it or anything. Thankfully cause that would probably be a bad idea if it was still going.
Anyway, anyone experience this before or have suggestions?

Mine also hanged during update and required the "press power under bright light" trick. Then after reboot it hanged again (for 30-40 minutes) and i restarted it. After the second restart it rebooted successfully BUT the sdcard contents were still under /data/media instead of /data/media/0 so i rooted and moved the files manually from adb shell.
It is recommended to flash the original RUU... After that, you shouldn't face any issues during OTA... I did the similar process as you, but i was getting a red triangle on OTA update process....
I flashed RUU and everything went smoothly then.

I'm sorry for posting a n00b question, but I've honestly spent all day today, from about 8am to 730 pm (with a couple breaks in between) looking for the solution here.
I need to restore this phone to stock, but there seems to be no 100% solution to this that I can find.
I'm with Bell, I have S-On, rooted, HTCDev unlocked. I've flashed up to the Viper Rom and all is running great. But now this phone needs to be traded in.
I've downloaded the CWM Nandroid for Bell stock, but I can't for the life of me figure out where to put that file on my phone so CWM will detect it.
I'm a bit apprehensive to use the Cingular (AT&T) RUU. I figure this is the safest way to stock, but that will get me to AT&T factory stock and not Bell. If I go this route, is there an easy way to flash a stock Bell file to get it to Bell stock?
Those are the two solutions that I think is the easiest, but without being 100% solidly informed, I don't want to risk bricking this phone.
If anyone could pretty please give me a bit of help, I'd be eternally greatful
Thanks very much for reading.

I tried to do exactly that actually.
I couldn't find the back up file. File manager showed me with one gig less in my internal storage, but I'll be buggered if I could find that backup.

If you're on the Viper rom then you should find your CWM folder under /data/media from root

I'm going to take a look at this now. I'm not a very experienced Android user, but I'll give it a go if it's not too over my head.
Thanks very much =)
Ok, I got it figured out.
I was able to use Root Explorer to move the backup to the proper directory.
All is well now...thanks for the help =)
