Hello,
I was wondering, if i simply restore to a backup i've made of my stock rom with CWM, and un-root my device, will i have my warranty again?
or does that need extra steps?
Thanks

Dear friend only restoring stock rom backup and un-rooting your device will not entitle you to warranty.You have to also remove CWM and restore it with stock recovery or ur warranty will be void.
You must flash an entire pure stock ROM with Smartflash, it will wipe everything, including recovery. See related threads in dev section.
I have a very similar situation, I need to get back to stock for warranty purposes. I installed CWM recovery using: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1327599
I made a backup of my stock rom after installing but before installing SU. So I can restore that backup, since I hadn't installed SU yet, does that mean it would have still been unrooted and if so is there just a simple way to remove CWM recovery? As I don't know what my original stock ROM was so I wouldn't know which one to flash. Would this just work to get rid of CWM recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1021554
EDIT: NVM i just ended up using smartflash.
Hello, I have been searching through forums to find out how to install the clockwork bootstrap and a custom Rom, i came accross a question i can not solve.
Since the CWM is only a bootstrap and is located in the system partion and it is not possible to restore from it if your phone goes into a bootloop then does it also not erase the orginial recovery? Basicly my question is if i get the CWM and a rom will I be able to restore back to the orginial stock OS without bricking my phone? As far as i understand i can because the bootstrap doesnt touch the recovery partion? If this doesnt work is there any other way that i can restore back to stock if i brick/get bootloop???

First, try the linked thread above. Second, you can use the stock recovery (Vol- + power) to do a factory reset. If that doesn't work, you can always reflash a .kdz file.

Do it like muellersmattes sayed. If that doesn't work, you have to flash the stock firmware aka .kdz file.

So if I understand correctly, I have no way of making a full nandroid without first flashing a custom recovery (CWM / TWRP) that would perform the actual backup.
So, actually, my nandroid will not be of full stock firmware, but will backup the root & custom recovery instead of original state.
So, in order to make a full restore I'd still need to do what's listed in nkk71's guide.
There is no other way to back up / restore stock phone rom?
Root can be undone and stock recovery restored after running a nandroid to return to full stock.

you can backup without being rooted and all that will be different is the recovery which can easily be downloaded and flashed after returning to stock nandroid backup.
you should check theirs probably already a stock rom for your phone anyway

Thank you. I have just installed the TWRP and made me a nice nandroid
First TWRP start was scary though, took almost a minute
Now to proceed with a nice ROM
I want to flash the new TWRP recovery using CWM (Clockworkmod Rec), but i have a backup file (stock rom) from my CWM,
My question is:
IF i want to get back to stock how can i replace the new TWRP with CWM and restore my stock ROM ?
OR is it possible to restore CWM backup file with TWRP ?
Thanks :fingers-crossed:
Its not possible to restore CWM recovery backup under TWRP recovery
Make a new backup after flashing TWRP recovery
Another option is return to CWM recovery and after that restoring your stock rom CWM backup
Hey guys I want to flash a new rom on my m8, the only problem when I go to do a backup of the stock rom it wont allow me to do a backup.Can someone help me with this I don't want to wipe if I don't have a backup
Reflash your recovery. If that doesn't work then flash a different recovery. I use philz touch recovery based off of CWM
