[Q] Question about un-rooting & OTA....

Hello. I have seen a several different ways to go about un-rooting and ways to get the OTA. My question is, what is the best way to un-root and get 2.3.6? I am already rooted using bombaradier 3.5. I don't mean to make another thread about this again, but I am getting confused with all of the different postings and ways to go about this process. If someone could provide links to the most updated way to un-root and get 2.3.6, It would be a great birthday present for me. lol.
PS. I did get the OTA, but I froze it using Titanium. If that matters...
Thanks a Lot

Cleanest way is just to back up your apps with titanium backup, flash the stock rom, update, re-root, reinstall titanium and apps.
Or, just flash a new rom with update pre-installed and de-bloated.

I know of several users (including me) who just updated using Kies (and then rooted again via Odin). This is a no-wipe solution that requires re-root but old apps and data are preserved

My is rooted when i received the OTA update for 2.3.6. I did not unroot and let the update do their thing. After few minutes my SGS2 is 2.3.6 with working wifi calling. Note: Once you update you need to use the sim that came with the phone in order for wifi to work. Hope this helps.

Ummm, if you are using a custom ROM , trying to get the OTA could be very dangerous ... Better bet is just find an updated custom ROM and flash it ...

If you are going to go to stock, make sure you use Odin and not a "stock" rom. I was on Bombardier 3.5 and flashed Zedomax's stock rom with CWM, except the Synergy kernel stuck which caused a few problems. Then, I just flashed the 2.3.6 tar.md5 with Odin. Now everything is fine and I'm looking for a new ROM to flash.

My question is simple really..
When i flash back to the STOCK ROM and STOCK KERNAL.. would i lose my ROOT? and would i also lose Clockwork recovery?
Thanks

If you just use mskip's toolkit from the dev section, you can flash back to a stock rom and if you want/need to, you can also flash root and recovery from his tool as well after flashing back to stock.

Any link to the thread with the stock ROMs? I am no good at searching for this stuff.

I'll post the link when I am at home for the stock ROMs..
These replies kinda confused me lol...
I don't want to use a toolkit..
I just want to flash the .zip ROM and kernel via CWM..if I do that do I loose my root and CWM?
Or do I need this mskip toolkit to accomplish this? Meaning get rid of root and CWM..
Thanks..sorry..just confuses by the responses..

If by downgrade you mean back to 4.1.2, just download a 4.1.2 ROM such as http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086769 and flash in recovery.

Sorry, I have a question...where can I get the 4.3 stock recovery SPH-L900. I flashed cwm but I forgot to make a back up. Thank you for your help.

Best bet look around in the development sections or flash back to a 4.3 ROM and do a nandroid and then downgrade etc..

How to flash back the stock recovery on sm-t700?

Hello every one!
I will receive a galaxy tab s from my work and of course I wish I could root and instal TWRP on it.
The problem is that I will have to give it back in some time, and so I will need to flash it back to stock when this time will come.
So my question is: how to get back to stock recovery once twrp will be installed? (to unroot will be easier I suppose).. I mean, where can I find the stock recovery.img and how to procede to flash it?
Thanks in advance for replying! Any input will be very appreciated!

If you need to put it back to complete stock just flash the stock firmware.

I was not sure if recovery also would be flashed with stock firmware. But if you say it...
Thanks for input!
