I have unrooted my phone and i don't know does that remove clockworkmod recovery. I want to know does my phone have CWM recovery. If it has how to delete it (CWM voids warranty)?
ps. Is that true that rooting does not void yout warranty bu custom rom does?

AFAIK unrooting doesnt remove ur recovery.. It just remover superuser.apk su binary files.. If im not mistaken u can get stock recovery image to flash it .. So that u can get back a completely clean stock device
Root and installing custom rom onto ur device are voiding ur warranty

Rooting voids your warranty. If you want to go completely to stock then flash a virgin stock rom for your device. These ROMs don't have anything done to them. If you can't find one those then just get a rooted stock ROM and use an unrooting tool. But remember you may have to reset the flash counter because that shows how many times you flashed a custom firmware on your device.

I've rooted my phone, installed CWM, installed a custom ROM. Now my phone is still buggy, freezing a lot, rebooting a lot no matter what i try, now I want to make sure I do the correct steps to be able to return with no problem.
1. Flash stock ROM
2. Flash stock recovery
3. Unroot the phone
Am I missing something?

Step 3 is unnecessary as the stock ROM is not rooted
I doubt they'd look for root before accepting the return but if u wana be safe..
They wouldnt even know better. Unless you install CM7 where your boot screen is custom.

Yah unless you have a complete unrooted nandroid back up of the stock rom then unrooting it isn't necessary.
If you don't have a unrooted stock rom then you will need to download a stock rom rooted or unrooted somewhere and flash it.
i have returned g2x's with root on it. Mainly with Eagleblood on it. whoever receives it as a refurbished unit will be lucky. i saved them some adb commands. T-Mobile prolly wont even boot the device up in front of you. They just check for water damage and physical damage. I seen it plenty of times. but if u dont want to risk it.
download/install the stock root rom
use superoneclick to unroot
take batt out and hold vol up/down at the same time plug cable in
use one click recovery flash stock recovery
reboot into recovery and reset
i don't know about you all but i always unroot before i send any phone back to t-mobile, they'll sneak you when you think they're not.

where is this unrooted stock rom? flashable via cwm? i must be missing something. all i have seen are the bin files which proved to be to much of a pain to flash.
Ok, well I know this is a newbies question but yeaa. I am one .
I wanted to know if clockworkmod voids your warranty. I know rooting your phone voids your warranty but does clockwork?
I just unrooted my phone and I want to leave Clockwork on it so if i want to root it again.
If you have to return it you will need to flash the stock recovery.

If you ever let TMO or LG know you rooted the phone or installed alternate recovery, yes, technically, your warranty is void. Just restore it to a stock rom and then flash stock recovery back and they won't know.
I am looking for some help regarding my Tab 2 10.1.
My tab was rooted and then flashed with Cyanogenmod 9.1.
Also ClockworkMod recovery 6.0.2.7 was installed.
What I want to know is how do I restore it to its stock firmware and have it as if it was new, root free with no evidence of custom firmware i.e reset flash counter
All help welcome!
I was in the same exact situation, i am now back to official stock rom with no signs of mods. Here's what i did. This works on all galaxy tab 2 devices by the way.
-First download stock official 4.1.1 p5110 rom and flash it with odin.
-Start up your tab to see if it's back to stock rom.
-Next you have to root it with CF-autoroot and flash it with odin.
-You should now have stock official rom with stock recovery and a rooted device.
-Now download Triangle Away app for free over at the XDA forums (google it) or support the DEV by purchasing it on Google Play.
-While using triangle away, reset the flash counter, the app would then close after it's done. Make sure that triangle away did the job by opening the app and viewing the status Official with 0 flash counts.
-Now open SuperSU and go to settings and select full unroot, your device would then be unrooted.
-Lastly, put the tab to stock recovery mode and factory reset the tab.
You should now be good to go as if you have never modded the tab, to confirm, go to settings<status and check what it says on the status. If it says official than you are done.
NOTE: Be aware that Triangle away is said to hard brick your device if mishandled, according to the DEV. However i have never bricked my device over the dozens of times i have used this nor have i seen anyone brick because of this. For more information view the XDA Triangle away post.

If you have a stock ROM, it will run /system/etc/install-recovery.sh which will re-install the stock recovery. If you're rooted, that's the easiest way to get the stock recovery back (chmod 544 /system/etc/install-recovery.sh then /system/etc/install-recovery.sh)

The firmware should come with Stock Recovery. If ODIN do not flash it with Firmware then you try to flash the Stock Recovery only..If still not done then use Odin mobile ver and try.
quick question, does this have wkparks bootloader installed or has it been removed after the root was put in place? i REALLY want to root but other than that i want stock everything
Xbsalls prerooted is full stock rom with the root, with recovery on 2nd init and with original bootloaders. There is everything what you want. If you dont like it install rom from original stock kdz or bin files without root and recovery.

Is this possible? Say I didn't want to use GooManager. Is it possible to flash TWRP without being rooted through stock recovery?
There is no way you HAVE to root in order to flash anything. The purpose for rooting is to grant you administrative access to your phone.
I think you can use Odin to flash a custom recovery without root but I think it only works for the first boot into recovery since you don't have root the stock recovery will overwrite the custom recovery.
Again, I'm pretty sure you can. I might be wrong.

With out root first I'd take caution with what you do, you may brick your phone.it's easy to root, just follow the stickies
stripped down rebuild with clean Rom/Gunther/camblued modds!!!
