Best way to flash back to stock rom?

What would be the best way to go from any custom rom back to a stock rom. Wipe data, cache, dalvik cache in recovery, the shut down phone and flash stock rom via odin? Or should I also wipe system before flashing?
Thanks!

You don't need to do any wipes through CWM if you are going to be flashing a stock Odin rom, odin automatically takes care of all that stuff. You can just boot your phone into download mode as is and flash the odin rom.

Btw, your title is a bit misleading/ confusing? Aha, you ask "best way to flash back to custom rom" ??
Yes that was indeed a bit misleading, corrected!

[Q]About Flashing ROM

Hi Guys,I have got Paranoid Android ROM running on my Galaxy S II my question is,can I flash stock MIUI ICS 2.5.11(newest version) or I have to flash STOCK ICS before flashing MIUI?
Miui direct using cwm.

yes you can flash but you need:
wipe data factory
wipe dalvik cahe
wipe cache partitions
I hope this helps you

Going back to official firmware...

Hi,
I currently have a rooted firmware on my phone and would like to go back to official stock, the question being can i just flash it back using odin and official firmware? would i re-partition to get it back to when i first bought the phone? would i not have to clean the kernel script or anything because i dont want anything left on my phone
I WILL THANK WHOEVER ANSWERS MY QUESTION
THANKS
Are you using a stock rooted ROM?
If yes, just flash a stock kernel
From cwm
Format cache, data, system, dalvik.
Using Odin flash your stock ROM
After boot wipe again using dial code.

Correct. But, the custom recovery will not disappear. Flash a stock rom if you want to delete everything.

Just make a wipe data, cache and dalvik cache from cwm and than flash with odin the rom you want.

Depends upon what method you are going to use..
If cwm then do what the person above me said..
If using odin.. You don't need to wipe anything.. Guessing from the fact that you downloaded firmware from samfirmware.. You will be using odin.. So just flash the rom.. Install cwm recovery and then boot.. So that in case you are stuck at boot screen... You can wipe data from recovery rather than a factory reset..
By the way I am typing from my phone.. So expect typos!!
D experience learnt was from s2... where tried to downgrade from ics to gb...do wipe all (cache & data factory rset)..then flash or odun it...
