    If I do a backup by either nandroid or titanium and then wipe/factory reset the phone, will I have to root the phone again in order to get cwm and superuser?

    no , if your phone is rooted it should stay rooted.

    make sure you have the latest firmware before trying the ICS roms

    flashing firmware will wipe your phone!
    do a nand backup 1st , then a titanium
    put firmware on the sd card and flash it. ( be sure to rename it to PG86IMG)
    just reboot phone then and you will have the latest radios etc and rom will be fine

    DOH!
    ive just realised im not on a thread i thought i was !!!
    i was posting to a different forum.
    your phone is obv different to mine :)
    ignore everything ive said and do not flash anything ive given a link to.
    check your model on the XDA forum and follow advice from the devs on there.

    If you restore the original ROM you'll need to re-root, but custom ROMs come rooted, regardless of datawipes

    I don't understand this Nick? If i want to wipe and restore my current ROM, I'll have to re root, but if I want to wipe and flash a new rom, I don't?? :confused:

    Custom ROMs come rooted "out of the box" (I think the new Cyanogenmod will allow turning Root access on & off), stock official ROMs i.e: the Samsung or HTC etc. ROMs will be protected, so need root again to unlock. If you flash a new custom ROM, it will be rooted.
    If you data wipe (i.e: Factory Reset) your current rom, you shouldn't loose root, even if its an official ROM I think
