Stock S2 with ROOT and CWM Recovery. Need to return for warranty.

I need to return my girlfriends S2 under warranty. It is still on stock GB, with root and CWM recovery. What do I need to do to unroot and bring it back to stock recovery? Just ODIN? Got any links?
Thanks

Use search and you will find what you're looking for.

I did search. ODIN is what I think I found. Just wanted to make sure Odin removes everything, even the recovery.

Use Odin to flash a stock rom. It will turn your phone to original state.

[Q] Back to Stock Recovery Without Data Loss?

Is it possible to go back to the stock recovery without losing data? I would like to keep my TW backup up to date.
I don't remember if you can just ODIN the stock recovery and not have any issues. If anyone can chime in it would be nice.

You can reload the stock recovery without losing any data.
If you do not have it you can get an Odin flashable stock recovery here.

You have to root IOT flash a custom recovery and then use that to make a back up. cant do it the other way around

Yea you would just Odin flash a stock .tar file and it will reset root and everything else back to factory conditions

This link will lead ya in the right direction.

If you have the twrp u will have get back to stock recovery... most probably u'll have to:
Flash the chinafines stock rom from the original android dev thread, run the triangle away app to reset the modif counter, run the unroot from the super su app) & only after that to boot into stock recovery to reset the whole phone.... once thats done the phone is a virgin)

Cant he just reflash cwm to the recovery and then reflash whatever rom back? Instead of going back to stock and then re flashing cwm?

If you made a backupour stock rom after su setup and custom recovery then yes you can as long as you are on the same bootloader the stock rom was on. Just restore after a thorough full wipe and use the the triangle away tutorial from the point after you should have opined back to stock, installed custom recovery and su. But you should Odin back anyways because this is unfounded and gremlins don't like to be aborted. Just remember you want to send your phone in for warranty and you want to eliminate all modded softwares and Odin will eliminate the leftovers!
