If you want to go back to stock and have root it can be done, but you will need CWM or TWRP...what do you have installed. You say you have a custom recovery but you are not rooted.... you dont need to be rooted to put CWM or TWRP on, is it you do not have a computer at all...What ROM is on there now?
I would find a computer it would be your best bet, but below are the tools for the GNote for these forums.

Download a kernel from the original dev section i.e. dagr8's kernel and flash it from your recovery. That should restore your root privileges. Sounds like he just unrooted the phone on a custom ROM for some bizarre reason.

it actually has the stock ics

Doesn't matter. If recovery is installed you don't really have a problem. Just follow my instructions and you should have root in 5 minutes.

Yes, flash away. Read every First Post a couple of times for the installation instructions.

Hi I'm trying to root my friend's galaxy s 2. It is the sprint 4g version. How do you reboot into recovery? It is different than my Verizon fascinate... thanks
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
First step would be to post in the right section, the sprint sgs2 is totally different than the i9100. Im sure they have many kernels that can root your phone there.
I follow step by step for installing CyanogenMod for my Galaxy Fit here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1324190. Now how can I return to original ROM after that? (I tried to put my phone into Downloading mode but it not success)
you get the answer yet???

download the samsung stock rom from samfirmware.com and flash that ...
So I'm rooting my friends phone for him and planning to install villianrom.
So far ive rooted via zerg exploit.. All went well, after I downloaded ROM manager and install clock work recovery for "Samsung galaxy S 2". Rebooted into recovery and it took me into stock Android recovery, which of course means clockwork didn't install..
I've been doing some reading and it seems tho ppl install the tweaked kernel with root and recovery pre applied.. If there no way around going that route? I mean the phone is already rooted, can't I install clockwork some other way.
Also if I dont have any choice and have to go through the flashing pre rooted clockwork kernel through Odin. Suppose I install a ROM with a custom speed kernel, will I loose root and clock work since it's pre applied to the stockish kernel I flashed from Odin?

No

Most roms have CWM anyway read the install instructions

Original = built from sources. i.e. CyanogenMod for an example of a ROM, or Siyah for a kernel.
Regular = derivative from something else, i.e. many ROMs out there are usually derived from stock, with themes and such.
Just apply cf root specific to your phone base and flash it in the PDA section of Odin, it will re root your phone with cwm recovery, then place the villain from or from of your choice in the root of your SD card and flash it with cwm, any problems let me know

1. Does all stock roms have the same recovery?
2. If so how can I pull a stock recovery and push it over a stock Rom with cwm...
(replace cwm with stock recovery) in order to be able to get otas

In the tar you download from sammobile.com, there is a file called recovery.img. This is the recovery. Just be sure to download the rom suitable for your device. Then you have 2 options:
Put the img in a .tar and flash with odin
OR
Download this file www.mediafire.com/?w45j8i0fcj0wck0, which originates from this thread: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171089&highlight=lorddeff07.
Replace the img with your own and flash with cwm.
I have used it to flash pershoot's recovery to my 7500 and it worked. I don't know whether it will work for stock, or wifi only version, but I see no reason why it shouldn't.
Please report back as to what you tried and if it worked.

Why don't you just wait a day or so for one of our awesome devs to post a rooted OTA after it drops, and then you can just flash it.
But I think the answer to your question is "PDA"...

I feel you m8... But you know as soon as Sammy drops the ICS update the great devs on XDA will pop open the OTA, root it, tweaked it and debloat it. And that will be done most likely in a few hours of the update. And remember if you do the OTA, you most likely will lose root until the devs setup some new root files.
Just saying...

Yeah I know can always flash back via odin an old hc rom re- root re- cwm /wipe factory reset and flash cm9 xD
Just Wish pershoot had a kernel control app to get proper and full control of the tab as I have it in my gnex with cm9 and frankos kernel app

i had rooted my galaxy note 2 (GT N7100). Flashed paranoid android custom rom.
now i have restored my stock rom backup (which i had made before flashing)
but now samsung stock apps like "readers hub", "Game hub" etc. are not working. apps say "Rooting detected" and clos.
and in settings->device status it says "modified".
so according to me the phone is not completely restored to stock rom.
can u help me out? cuz i want complete stock rom.(the original rom i got when i bought the phone.)
Thanks in advance....!!!
Maybe you had first rooted your stock ROM before making a backup. Make sure to flash a new stock image, not a backup you made previously. Look in the Galaxy Note 2 forum for more details.

Search for 'Triangle Away' by Chainfire. I'm not too acquainted with Samsung devices as I've never owned one, so I can't help you with this. But you'll find a lot of guides and everything you need.
