Is there another way to remove CF-Root completely from the device without flashing a stock firmware?

when you first rooted your phone you had to flash it anyway so whats wrong with flashing it again to remove root?
the only way is to reflash stock roms

Is there any way to get a custom recovery installed on the LQ5 ICS 4.0.4 without flashing a custom kernel?
Related to that, all I'm looking for is a way to make a nandroid backup with restore option, so if there's a third-party way of doing it, I'd appreciate any suggestions.
I've always used CF-Root Kernels, but I just Mobile Odin flashed this ROM and I have stock recovery, so the backup/restore features are gone.
Just flash the latest CF-Root kernel via Odin in the PDA section and you will obtain your custom recovery. No other way for it.

From what I can see, that's LPK 5.5, right?
Can I flash it via Mobile Odin?

I'll be extra cautious, as what I'm seeing here is it might have the emmc brick bug in kernel.
So what ever you do do not wipe using stock recovery.
I'm using the save ROM and loving it. But will wait for any more news.
Though I have wiped multiple times using the dial code.
Yes I believe you just flash the latest CF-Root either via Mobile Odin or normal Odin. As atifsh said, don't wipe anything in the stock recovery as the MMC_CAP_ERASE seems to still be present and will eMMC brick your device, which is a real pain considering Samsung know about this. But it is still only a leaked ROM, so be very cautious.

If you flash other kernel and you don't re-flash then the original one some things like bluetooth will not work....
If you do my procedure you will have CMW, Root & the most important thing: THE ORIGINAL KERNEL!!! :cyclops::good:
PRESS TNX BUTTON IF I HELP YOU :good:
When I flashed the Stock_LQ5-CWM.zip above, I lost custom recovery and went back to stock recovery.
Chainfire has released CF-Root for LQ5, so problem solved.
Thanks for the input.
Went back to 4.0.3 stock rom and phone did an auto software update to stock 4.0.4 rom UK branded 27/07/2012 firmware.
ecmm brick bug app shows - no.sane chip and chainfire's got a brick app shows - unknown but not one of the reported chips with bug.
I am crapping it as have had a brick with leaked lpq5 firmware.
All I want to do is use the temporary cwm method to flash superuser and install titanium backup and all my apps.
Can anyone advise if what I suggest will be safe?
Regards

If you want to root your device using temporary cwm etc check here
If you want to mess with your phone and will probably be wiping your device, flashing ROM etc, I will advice you to flash a custom kernel first e.g Siyah, Speedmod, N.E.A.K etc
If you fail to follow this advise, you might end up with a hard-bricked device
Hi,
I downloaded a stock rom from sammobile ( I9100XWLQ2_I9100XXLQ6_I9100PROLP4_HOME.tar.md5 )
I am pretty sure this is the right one because this has already worked once.
But now my phone hangs during startup. I wait really lot (10 mins) but still it hangs, even I always see the animation of 'S'
I flashed again a custom rom now, but i want a stock rom back. How can i flash?
thanks
You must perform a factory reset from the recovery. Either do it from the custom rom, then flash stock ROM, or flash stock rom, boot into recovery and then wipe /data. Order doesn't matter.

After you flash the stock rom go back into download and flash v4 of Siyah kernel (.tar) , then boot into recovery and do wipe/factory reset.
It is not necessary to install a new kernel, just factory reset from stock recovery

I didnt say it was necessary, I just advised it since Siyah kernel is better then stock anyway for many reasons and since he's into trying new roms its much better to have custom kernel/recovery. Plus the fact that if user was to try flashing a 4.0.3 rom then wipe in stock recovery he would brick his device.
Not sure about brick, AFAIK brick occurs with 4.0.4. Anyway I would prefer more stock-ish kernel like CFroot.

If you thought that, why on earth would you advise him to wipe in stock recovery???? The rom he is trying to flash is 4.0.4
Guess I wasn't reading thoroughly .. I take mt words back.

If u r on stock 4.0.4 first change your kernel then try to factory reset.. Everything will be fine... Dont do factory reset on cmw on stock kernel...

Okay, thanks for all the replies. When I flash stock kernel, will clockworkmod be erased? I am just asking.. I know I can easily flash it back

Do you mean flash "stock rom"? Yes if you flash stock rom you will lose cwm and only hav stock recovery.
Once you have flashed your stock rom you should then immediately flash your custom kernel (Like Siyah). Once flashed reboot into recovery (cwm) and wipe data/factory reset.

When flashing a stock ROM (include kernel of course) it overwrite the exists kernel.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
When you will flash stock rom over custom rom everything will be erased if android version is different if same then you will face problems has phone will not work properly you have to factory reset it first install different kernel use philz it will root your phone directly and installs cmw then factory reset it from cmw.
You can also reset your phone from settings but in between you will face errors this that not working etc. use 1st method your phone will not have brick bug issue.
And for giving thanks use thank button

Is it also possible to flash dorimanx after flashing stock rom?
Can i flash stock recovery with mobile odin
you can't flash a stock recovery. it comes with a stock rom, and mobile Odin is made exactly for flashing stock roms

So i can go to stock rom with mobile odin?
And bydeway i already flashed stock recovery with mobile odin and in works...
I was pretty sure there isn't a stock recovery separately from the rom.
of course you can flash a rom with mobile Odin, that's what it's for

You where wrong about the stock recovery flash it is possible...
But can i flash stock samsung rom with mobile odin and will it then make everything stock(recovery)(rom)and modified status too...
you are asking the same question for the third time, read my replies.
you will need to use Triangle Away, unroot, then factory reset for everything to be stock

heres my suggestion
once you already went back to stock rom, then your traiangle away but still want your phone rooted. what you can do is to search here in XDA the CFAutoroot for our S3 and your system status still be NORMAL. works for me
I used cf auto root and have always had stock rom. I still have modified status.

Just to let you guys know. Curiosity got the better of me. I flashed a stock rom followed by a factory reset and I'm now out of the box stock.

As most of the people among us flash latest custom roms.. for which we need to go for for odin flash & as we know it is an irritating process.. thus can we just restore stock firmware via cwm rather than the odin flash, so as to perform a custom rom flash??
(i personally restored stock rom but i found stock kernel hasn't restored thus i dont know, weather it gonna work or not..)
replies appriciated cos if this process works for sucessful custom rom flash then it will be helpful for lots of newbies like me
Recovery is part of the ramdisk, which is included with the kernel.
You can't modify something while it's running.
sorry but i was talking about, that can we replace odin process with restoring stock firmware via cwm??

GermainZ already answered your question but apparently you don't know the difference between using Odin n CWM for flashing.
