You install firmware not Kernel .
If their is an update to 2.3.5 then you can update via the same path .

Come on dude... I m not that much NOOBISH... But I wanted to flash a ICS ROM on GB... So do i need to install any other ICS kernels particularily?? Or just flashing is enuf rite
Told no kernel required
Either you Can flash from Odin or Cwm
May be talking about rooting kernel to get root plus CWM enabling you to flash custom ICS rom from CWM recovery

Hello,
1- sorry for my English
2- I have got galaxy GT - I9300 , I was able to connect to ( Samsung Kies ) and ( Odin3 )
3- I un-rooted the phone and upgraded it to Jellybean 4.2.2
4- Now I can't connect to both of ( Samsung Kies ) or ( Odin3 )
5- I installed different drives and they all failed
6- I still can see my phone connected to PC as portable media player ? it appears in the device manager ( GT - I9300 )
7- I need to know how to come back to the original firmware ( step by step )
8- am I supposed to uninstall kies and driver before starting ?
9- Finally , Does ( Samsung_Galaxy_S3_ToolKit_v7.0 ) concerned with original firmware or custom roms ?
thanks

There is no other way than odin or mobil odin , if you are on a custom rom it maybe rooted already so try installing mobile odin and flash with it.
Link for mobile odin : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899
EDIT : I forgot to add try uninstalling Kies and samsung USB drivers then install this drivers.rar it should work .

I usually find stock roms use more battery as custom roms sometimes have a lot of bloatware removed which would run in the background and consume ram, cpu time and could wake the device from deep sleep.
Ps: Fygaroo post that helped you would look even better by pressing thanks on it.
