Default Flash back to stock for warranty purposes?

Hey there,

I wanted to search first but I can't from my phone and since I need an answer pretty quickly I thought I'd just post now. I current run the latest nightly of ICS and was wondering if there is a way to flash back to stock (with Odin or recovery) so that it seems to be untampered with. Another question is will the stock firmware get updates OTA or is that functionality broken now thanks to the modding.

Oh and yes I have run triangle away to remove the triangle

Any help would be appreciated thanks in advance.

To answer your questions:

1. Yes, you can flash back to stock with Odin. Just download the official stock firmware for your region at Intratech's thread

2. If you flash the stock FW, you can still get updates via Kies. Samsung isn't that much of a d*ck.

3. Triangle Away also resets the flash counter, but please go to download mode to check whether your current flash counter is correct since Triangle Away can hard-brick your phone

he was being cautious..... no worries you already done running triangle away.
what he meant to always check what the triangle away says and what download mode says about counter.

Oh I see, thanks for the clarification I'll keep that in mind if I ever need to run triangle away again
