You'll definitely have to root again. And i'm not sure i've seen the stock GB ROM in a CWM .zip without a recovery...in which case youll have to ODIN CWM back on there after a re-root.
But i'm not even sure any of this is possible. If you want to return to stock, ODIN the Factory .tar back onto the device and restore that. Then reroot, reflash the CWM .tar, and restore your Titanium Backups.
Alternatively, if you've flashed leaks that had the bootloader removed, you can just restore a GB Nandroid if you have it.

Then read. Odin back to stock. Plain and simple. Without reading, you're sure to end up with a 700 dollar paperweight sooner or later...and I would be willing to bet sooner.

you can do this. this what i did when i needed to return my note when i got the replacment. i used the reset flash counter zip via cwr and then i followed the unroot instructions and i was back to stock with a 0 flash counter. you can skip the flash counter reset if you dont have anything in your counter
Does anyone know if bestbuy checks the counter to get a replacement phone?

Hey guys. I just got my replacement phone from ATT mailed in since my old one's power button broke. I have a few questions about getting it back to stock AND doing so to reset my flash counter ( its at 1 now and i dont want them to void my warranty and make me pay for it :/) As of now, i do not have a jig, but one is one the way.
first off i had planned on flashing 4.0.3 and installing triangle away. i was told that this would get rid of the yellow triangle AND reset the flash counter. Will this work?
Next, does flashing back to stock through odin/heimdall readd to the flash counter where it'd go back to 1? if so, is there a way back to stock and be unrooted without increasing the flash counter
I'm also assuming doing a master clear will not increase it, as i dont want them to send them my data.
I would really appreciate some help. Thanks in advance
UPDATE: The triangle away worked successfully and flashing via odin kept the count at 0 as i thought. My new problem is when i booted up after going back to stock, i get a bootloop at the att logo. Anyone have any alternative links to getting to a nonroot version of samsung stock?

It would be worth a try... go the the Download Repository and flash the I777UCKH7-CL503881 Stock Binaries package which contains cache.img and hidden.img. It also contains the bootloaders and param but you shouldn't have to worry too much about that. That might allow your phone to boot.

From within ClockWorkMod Recovery, restore your Nandroid backup from before you installed the ICS ROM?
You did make a Nandroid backup, right?
If that's not an option, how about reflashing with a stock Odin? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24507376

What about the EXE prevents the use of CWM Recovery restore? Can't you just install CWM Recovery on it, then restore a previous Nandroid backup?
Yeah i used exe. And i have tried flashing via odin and nothing is working. I could just be doing it wrong. So if you have a idea please give specific directions. I am really missing that overclock kernel right about now. Haha.

How big is the file that your flashing? Mine is q

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
Stock Odin Gingerbread is at least 450MB. Not sure what you are flashing.
The image to go back to stock is over 800mb in size found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506330
Pick the right image for your carrier, download it... run odin with your phone plugged in, put the .tar file in the [pda] section of Odin and flash. That should return you back to bone stock. After that then do whatever you did prior to installing ICS.
edit: Personally I never restore apps and whatnot from titanium backup after making such a big change, you never can tell what effect restored apps will have on a fresh install.

This is how I got back to GB. Remember to clear caches after flashing stock. I as well just reinstall all my apps from the store.

Once i Odin back to stock,do i have to root my phone again? I`ve never Odin back to stock and i`ve flashed 10 different roms.
Not usually, it is possibly to occasionally "lose your root" at which point you'd have to reroot your phone, but that's not typical. to give you an idea, I've Odined probably over a hundred times easy, and I've only "lost root" twice. ^^

How did you achieve that? Odined and only lost root twice? when i Odined i lose root every time. do you revert back with a custom stock?
If you Odin back to stock jfd image that came with the phone you will lose root.

Interesting O-o
In my time...I've used about 5 different odin images to flash back to stock and all of them never removed my root access.
I know that the one in the toolbox doesn't (or at least it didnt for me) ^^ So OP use that one :3
If I remember right... Odin does in fact remove root.
Odin doesn't clear internal sd, the file used for root (update.zip) is still there. Once you odin to stock all you have to do is go into recovery and reinstall packages. you should be rooted from there on.
I'm referring to stock odin files, not custom rom ones.

It depends on what you are flashing with Odin. There are jfd packages with root out there, however true sick jfd would be exactly how it came from Samsung, on eclaire with no root.....

Thanks bfranklin I'll have to remember this for future questions
Hey guys, I sent my Note 2 into Samsung in Texas to repair it since the wifi was not connecting. Prior to sending it in, I had it rooted and unlocked based on the instructions on this site, but I put it back to stock (using those same directions) to limit the chance that sammy would screw me on my warranty.
I checked the status of my repairs today and it says they replaced the mainboard, so now I am wondering what I will have to do to get it back to its rooted and unlocked state the way it was before sending in. I am guessing that all I will have to do is boot into recovery and flash a rom, but maybe the stock process did more than that.
If anyone could walk me through the steps it takes to get from where it is to where it was, that would be great. Again, it was rooted and unlocked, then I used Odin to go back to stock (which I think means rooted stock, so simply the stock software while still being rooted and unlocked), and now I want to send it back to rooted/unlocked. Also, remember that the mainboard was replaced, and I am not sure if that matters to the whole process.
Thanks!
Head in over to the development section and check out Adam Outlers thread. Very detailed and great way to root and unlock.

But do I need to reroot it? I guess I assumed that putting it back to stock meant rooted/unlocked stock, or stock software. No big deal, I can just reroot/unlock it like I did the first time, but I assumed it was something different.
I'd use triangle away too. I did that before sending it to vzw. Oddly, my counter was at 0

No it's not. Triangle away is an app that resets your flash counter to 0. You needed to use it before using odin to stock so it's to late right now.
To get back to where you were you will need to repeat the unlock process by Adam. When you used odin you unrooted and relocked your phone. Think of it being just like the day you got it now.

You sure about this? I thought the only way TriangleAway works is if you flash back stock ROM/kernel. I never used it before and my flash counter was at 0.
Anyways, also I would reset factory defaults if your firmware shows Modified, as well.
There was something on the lock/unlock thread about going back to stock and keeping the phone unlocked. It said if you were using the ota that made the phone so hard to unlock that you should flash a different tar file (an alternate one) to stay unlocked. I will track it down and post it here, but it made it seem like it would keep the phone unlocked.

Yes I'm sure. The bootloader had to be unlocked for triangle away to work (see screen shot from triangle away OP). So when he uses odin and re locks it's to late. Also, flashing stock firmware doesn't trip the flash counter.

There is an "alternate restore" file that does not flash a boot loader. If that's what you flashed then your boot loader is still unlocked. In the op you didn't specify you just said you restored to stock which would suggest full stock with a lock bootloader.

My solution
OK, so I got the phone back and ran into a few hiccups but got it worked out.
Basically I got the phone and re-rooted it and when I tried to install a new recovery I got an error telling me that I am using bad software and I should take the phone to VZW (yeah right).
I then hopped back on ODIN and went back to stock, same way I did before sending it in to Sammy. Once I did that, I went back to the thread about rooting/unlocking and found that there was an update since I last visited. Now, there was a one click method so I decided to give that a shot. I plugged her in, had some issues with drivers but got it worked out, then ran the process. Once it was finished, all was well.
I am not sure if the phone was still rooted/unlocked or not, but either way the one click method appeared to straighten it out.
Tried factory restore nothing works tried to unroot with the tar on xda nothing works any ideas???

Being unlocked won't make it fail. Also to relock you will need to use Odin. Can you link the stock image you're using?
By the way don't forget to use triangle away to reset your flash counter before locking out back up.
