[Q] Does Nandroid to stock make the phone to lose root?

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]Will I need to re do Odin to root [Q]

I am currently rooted and on stock recovery and rom. My question is if I so a nandroid backup and flash a custom Rom with Twrp/cwm and have to do a restore, will I need to re do the rooting process or is there a flashable zip to flash SU app and binaries to maintain root?

Custom roms usually come prerooted. Have a backup just in case. You will not have to re root with Odin.

Flash custom recovery

Hey guys!
I rooted my Note 2 using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2618261
As stated in the thread I have my KNOX intact...
Is it possible for me to flash a custom recovery after rooting with this method? Can I use ODIN to flash a custom recovery for my phone? It´s a N7105.
I actually don´t care about warranty, KNOX and so on anymore... I just want the possibility to flash my mods instead of pushing them manually with root explorer... also to make a Nandroid backup the classic way

Yes you can flash a custom recovery via Odin. I prefer PhilZ Touch http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2028103

[Unlocked Bootloader] Flash from 5.0.2 to 5.1

Hello community,
I wanted to download the new lollipop update, but the OTA fails. The reason is: I unlocked the bootloader (without root).
What is the fastest way to update to 5.1? Is there any way, keeping my data?
If not, what is the best way to backup these data?
Thanks for your response!

Do you have root and a custom recovery? Then you flash a pre-rooted ZIP without wiping your data.
You could also do a nandroid backup priop to this in the recovery.
Otherwise, you may want to root your 5.0.2 and then install the custom recovery.
I am not sure if full backups without root are currently possible.

Thanks for your reply. It helped me a lot.
I want to describe my solution shortly:
1. I used this describtion for obtaining root http://forum.xda-developers.com/son...root-init-d-support-recovery-busybox-t3202799
2. I did a backup with CWM
3. I did a dirty flash with this describtion: http://forum.xda-developers.com/son...6-0-368-customized-lollipop-5-t3200948/page11
So i got Recovery + root + 5.1 without loosing data.
