Once the carpet is up you can see the surface your working with.The glue needs to be removed.There are removers out there for you to use and scrape. With this being said I have to mention safety.You will be working in a more confined area,so ventilation and non flammable products should be used. I would also be looking into what caused the flooding. Good Luck Not unless you want bumpy tile in it's place.

In a commercial application where they will change floors often, they would probably prime the surface or smooth out the surface with a quick drying floor leveller. A primer actually does what it says, it primes the surface for another surface. If any glue lifts after the ceramic tile is set with concrete thinset, then the tile might pop or the grout might crack. Scraping up glue is a thankless job.
