yes it will change your firmware, and same goes if you reinstall the stock firmware,
a custom rom is a custom firmware in a installable zip file (flashable zip)
root is a file in your system which alows root access, stock firmware does not have this, custom roms(firmwarwes, systems) do but this depends on if the author included it

Hello,
(1) I am confused between root and cf-root? What's the difference between them?
I'm talking about these threads.

(2)CF-root - "THIS IS NOT A ROM - it is only a modified kernel.". Will rooting (either root or cf-root) change my kernel version?
(3)Let say I installed/ flashed/ root/ cf-root (i don't know which is the right word) my SGS 2 phone, can I get back to my stock version including kernel version for warranty purpose? Using these steps to revert to stock (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278), right?
As far as I gleamed, you have to have the correct version of the rom installed before you root. So if you want to root with CF-Roots KE7 kernel package, you have to first install a KE7 Rom.
To get back to your stock version you have to get a hold of the correct carrier branded rom and flash it with Odin. Take a look here.
By the way, you can find out wich version you currently have by entering *#1234# in your dialer.
Anybody more knowledgable feel free to correct me.

Yes if you have kernel KE2 and flash CF Root KE7 its now KE7
(3)Let say I installed/ flashed/ root/ cf-root (i don't know which is the right word) my SGS 2 phone
Its root all the same do you need root ???
, can I get back to my stock version including kernel version for warranty purpose?
If you have a copy of your original branded firmware flashing that back and removing apps that require root and resetting custom binary rom counter to 0 should be enough . Or flash a stock Samsung firmware

I rooted my SGSII using CF-Root 3.7, re-flash stock do zImage in CWM etc to remove the warning
Now there is CF-Root 3.8 available. Is it important to update? Do I need to repeat the same cycle:
- ODIN flash cf-root
- CWM kernel flash of .zip file
- ODIN flash stock kernel
- CWM kernel flash of zImage
TIA

I do not think that all stock kernels and their CSC and MODEMs are available or even noted. I flashed a custom ROM and would like to get back to the unbranded Netherlands version (likely the same KE2 for Benelux) but its unlisted even on samfirmware.com
I should think that flashing any stock version for your region (EU/USA/ROW) would leave the warranty intact in so far as a Samsung repair centre won't care/tell the difference.
Hello all. I decided to install Hybrom on my Xperia mini pro (sk17i) but i'm little confused at the moment and don't know what to do. I have installed CM 7.2.0 rom with FreeXperia kernel. If i want to install the Hybrom, i just need to flash stock firmware via flashtool, install Clockwork once again, then install some custom kernel like Rage and then install the rom? Or do something else? And do i need to relock the bootloader to flash stock firmware?
Install stock firmware, install kernel, install ROM. That's all. No relock needed. Custom kernel already includes Recovery so it is not needed.

And when i flash firmware, wipe is automatically done so i don't need to do it manually?

Flashing stock firmware - if you choose it in Flashtool, then yes.
Custom - no, you have to do it yourself before installing the ROM.

Thank you, I really appreciate your answer, but I have one last question. Does the firmware already include rom and kernel, or rom only? And do I have to install newer baseband to it to make the custom rom work?

Stock firmwares in .ftf file already include ROM and kernel both.
Most custom ROMs have their own custom kernel that you need to install yourself. Sometimes it is written in the topic as separate download link, sometimes it is included inside the .zip file, then you need to extract it and flash via fastboot. Check my tutorial, if you need help with it.
Baseband will depend on the custom ROM.

After flashing the last german rom 6.0.1 with xperifirm, I am not able to enter the recovery mode. I followed all the tutorials, all possible combinations with the keys, all programs (with and without root), etc.
Any ideas?
As far as I know, you flashed with ftf rom, which wiped thoroughly custom recovery. You need to revert to 4.4 kitkat, root it, get custom recovery, than flash it with android 6.0, but only using flashable prerooted rom in zip file with custom recovery

Use build number 314. It is available on XperiFirm. Use XZDR .21 to install the Xperia Z Dual Recovery. It will temporarily root with TowelRoot to be able to installa the recovery. After the installation the phone will reboot; now you have 2 choices: Install the SuperSU .zip to keep root on KitKat or directly install a Marshmallow ROM

Hi! i was just wondering what happens when I have a mate 10 that is unlocked and is rooted and I update it through firmware finder or system update? Will it brick my phone? Or it will just simply flash a new rom and remove the root? Thanks

As far as I know FF is not working anymore for the updates. I have a M10P rooted with Magisk. Whenever is a official OTA I am flashing my original Stock Recovery, doing the official OTA and then flashing back TWRP and Magisk. That s the way I am doing it, but maybe there are other ones. . cheers

I'm not quit sure if it's safe to update via OTA if ur rooted anc currently have stock recovery though. I'm too confused at how Huawei phones work, back when I used samsung phones I could just flash stock ROM via odin and download stock firmware over sammobile. While in Huawei I'm not kinda sure how to even flash stock firmwares and or stock recovery back.

There will be no bricks if you get the OTA on rooted devices. Reading skills and some tools which you find here at XDA. To get back to Stock you will need the last Firmware you used on your phone. After download use Huawei File extractor and extract stock recovery and system.img and flash it via ADB (I am telling u the short version) . You will find all information and tools here on XDA.
