I just purchased a Galaxy S II (branded with Optus Australia)
I downloaded the stock I9100XXXKH3 firmware from samfirmware.com and just wondering if someone can please post a really simple guide on how to flash the phone to the latest ROM i downloaded.
I am completely new to flashing android phones and need help.
Thanks in advance for anyone that can help me out.

thank you so much for the links bro..
Hello:
WARNING: I am a complete newbie and know nothing about 'flashing' or 'rooting'.
From a previous post, I learned that I should download "GT-I9100_XEU_I9100XWKJ1_I9100XEUKH2_I9100XXKI3.exe" to change my firmware from Spainish to something Canadian. I have it downloaded now.
I also read that I should have Kies installed, due to the drivers that it contains, but not 'running' in any way. I installed Kies but it will not connect to my phone - maybe because of my spanish firmware? Does this matter or is just having its drivers installed the important thing?
Is there a tutorial about how I should proceed? Do I need to 'root' my phone first? Do I need additional software?
Sorry for my confusion but I am really unsure as to how to proceed?
Thanks,
Rob. (proud owner of a $700 paper-weight)

How do I find the correct firmware for NA?
there is no correct firmware for NA, any stock firmware will work on your phone as one of the stock languages is us english.
Flash KK2/KK5.

Not unless the custom rom contains root .

Yes by flashing a stock firmware or kernel and resetting the custom rom counter to zero .
And if i install a custom rom. How can i install the normal rom again?
By flashing a stock rom
You need to start reading before flashing .

phone needs to be rooted before you flash a custom rom.
have a read through the developer section and all the answers for your other questions will be answered.
first steps first though - read chainfires root and clockwork recovery thread first to see what tools you need and follow the guide to the letter - no exceptions!
.................lol or as above from JJEgan
Typically you will need to root your phone before you install a custom rom, and yes you can easily unroot. There are several guides in the development section to help you. Make sure you read thoroughly and understand what you're doing.

Read the FAQs in this sticky roll up http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1442549 and most of your questions will be answered.
Custom roms are flashed via cwm and stock are flashed by Odin. Most custom roms are pre rooted.

One restore your original Nandroid backup.
Two flash your original saved GB firmware.
Three flash your original firmware from the stock rom threads .
Or a bit of a read would find Stock UK ICS roms in the general thread .

You cant use it with KIES. You will need to use odin to flash it. Use the step by step guide with screen shots in the first post of this thread to find out how to flash it using odin:
