[Q] Does Nandroid to stock make the phone to lose root? - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When you change from stock to the first custom ROM, you 'usually' do a nandroid backup before patching the ROM.
If you decide to restore that stock backup, will you lose root on your phone?

[Q] On unrooted stock 2.1 now..best way to rooted 2.2?

Hey everyone quick question. I'm still on an unrooted stock 2.1. Wanted to see what Froyo would bring before rooting. Now that it's here I want to upgrade and get my root on. How does this plan sound?
a) Root with unrevoked
b) Titanium backup
c) Root/Nand unlock with Simple Root
d) Restore with titanium backup
e) Nandroid backup
f) Flash one of the rooted 2.2 roms (probably Netarchy's rooted Odexed version)
Does this sound like a good plan to keep root and still keep all my data post wipes? I can flash Simple Root over unrevoked correct? Thanks for the help.

Make Orange UK Rom?

I have a nandroid backup of a stock Orange UK Rom if I upload it does anyone know how to make a flashable Rom from it for other users to flash? If you need to you could guide me through it.
The only way to do a nandroid is to root so any backup will have root enabled.
Only way I.could see it working is if you flash the nandroid backup then do a official workup.

[Q] Returning to Stock

I basically want to have nandroid backup of the stock ROM, so I was wondering if this was doable...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433101
Could I run this and still have a custom recovery? Or would it overwrite my recovery with whatever stock has? I don't remember... I plan to run all of the OTA updates and everything in order to have this nandroid backup if/when I need to take my phone into Sprint.

Nandroid backup

I made a nandroid backup last november(Official Stock 4.1.2),since im going to flash a rom
So is it possible to go back in my Nandroid backup(Official Stock 4.1.2)?
I already have a bootloader of NE4.
It is unlikely that a 4.1.2 nandroid will restore properly to a KK bootloader.
