Very easy question.....

---

Once i Odin back to stock,do i have to root my phone again? I`ve never Odin back to stock and i`ve flashed 10 different roms.

Not usually, it is possibly to occasionally "lose your root" at which point you'd have to reroot your phone, but that's not typical. to give you an idea, I've Odined probably over a hundred times easy, and I've only "lost root" twice. ^^

How did you achieve that? Odined and only lost root twice? when i Odined i lose root every time. do you revert back with a custom stock?

If you Odin back to stock jfd image that came with the phone you will lose root.

Interesting O-o

In my time...I've used about 5 different odin images to flash back to stock and all of them never removed my root access.
I know that the one in the toolbox doesn't (or at least it didnt for me) ^^ So OP use that one :3

If I remember right... Odin does in fact remove root.

Odin doesn't clear internal sd, the file used for root (update.zip) is still there. Once you odin to stock all you have to do is go into recovery and reinstall packages. you should be rooted from there on.

I'm referring to stock odin files, not custom rom ones.

It depends on what you are flashing with Odin. There are jfd packages with root out there, however true sick jfd would be exactly how it came from Samsung, on eclaire with no root.....

Ah, then I am sorry for the misinformation OP. I guess I've been using non true stock odin files.

Thanks bfranklin I'll have to remember this for future questions
