[Q] What to do to send to warranty?

Hi guys, I have little problem with my Nexus S I9023 (I ear some mettalic noise when it vibrates, and I think it may be the speaker because the call quality is "strange").
Right now I've rooted the phone using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970237
and have MIUI.
Do you think I need to revert all the process or I just flash a "stock rom" and lock the bootloader?
yes , bootloader and stock ROM , that's all you need to do

Question

Hi guys , atm I have full stock phone but I plan to root and maybe flash a better custom rom on it . Maybe after that I would wish to turn back on stock . Where can I find it?
Another thing , after I unlock the bootloader , can I flash supersu on stock recovery or I need twrp?

Where can you find what?
And yes, to flash any type of root zip you need TWRP. I personally prefer MagiskSU.

The front facing camera is not recognized by the application such as htc camera app, google camera. I don't know what the problem is, hardware or software related. I did a factory reset. Would be glad if there is a solution. Ps. Is there a utility for PC to diagnose hardware via usb cable?

Easiest way is to re-flash firmware or the AP part of the same firmware you have on your device via Odin.

I have the Alcatel Idol 4s 6055u, I don't think I can use odin with this phone. It requires sugar qtc, I believe.

Sorry my mistake. To uninstall TWRP requires flashing of a new recovery image ( stock or custom ). Since I am not familiar with your device flashing firmware would be the easiest to do. Just make a backup of your apps and data first.
