If you want to get back to factory default. Kies would flash a generic rom for your phone. Madmack 1.5 is either the rom or the theme of your phone. Is it a custom rom or stock rom you want to install?
i just want a factory rom for download in case something goes wrong .. and i want to install dlevs rom or criskelo rom ..
or is it safe for me to install roms? and my phone will alwayz be rooted???
i dont want to go for stock . but if my phone goes dead then i need a stock firmware??

Yes it is safe to install Roms. If you do it wrong you will just get a soft brick easily recoverable. Read the forums on how to flash a rom and kernel
First download odin ill attach it for you:
Second download .tar kernel here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1263838

Stock kernels are not that good! Custom kernels come with a lot more features, Way faster performance, smoother and just all round better!!. With regular updates i do see that it is necessary for me anyway. It takes 2 seconds to install
If you need me to install the kernel PM me?
my battery timings are very good now .. if i install siyah kernel will it eat my battery or give me good time ??? and im using iptables+proxydroid right now bcoz i am behing a proxy server.. will iptables work on roms??

If anything it will make your battery times even better and im sure of this. Well if it worked before on stock kernel and stock rom there is no reason why it wouldnt work on custom kernels and roms
just want to know another thing criskelo rom is in english or spanish ?? i want to install this rom .. then ics !

i have a CF-ROOT with KF3.
i flashed lightening rom and lost the CWM that i got with CF-ROOT..i only know how to use the CWM wasnt able to use the ROM Manager.
plz can someone suggest some custom rom that would have cwm preinstalled like the cf-root and wouldnt need a factory wipe.
Sorry for being such a noob.

no need to worry its not a big problem, the reason you lost your CWM is because the kernal which comes with ligtening rom doesnt hav CWM. you can install a kernal with CWM like speedmod's kernal

how do i flash stock rom with odin ?
sorry .. but just dont wrily know...
Have a look at this thread to find a rom which matches your country/carrier. There is a guide to using Odin in that thread as well. If the download links don't work, write down the name of the stock rom you want to use & search for it on Samfirmware.com & download it there.
it says near my packege
"This is still BETA firmware so don't moan if everything doesn't work. It comes with old bootloader and is non-wipe"
is it still ok to go with it ??
Which package ?
XXLPJ
and agin thanks for helpin...
That's Ok I recommend you go back to stock Gingerbread, and then have another go at ICS. XXLPJ is stock ICS, you can use it, but as the warning says, it is a beta.
I'd use a GB stock rom for your country/carrier if were in your situation.
i dont understand
what is stock Gingerbread ??
an what is GB stock ??
my carrier is orange, israel ....
which package in the guide should i use ??
GB & GingerBread are one in the same.
Choose Israel Orange stock from from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14505996&postcount=3
Use ODIN to flash
READ this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13712988&postcount=1 post for flashing with ODIN it should give you the information YOU need.

do i have to root when i change karnel ?
and is changin karnel is with odin ?
realy thanks for evrything
Glad you got it sorted
When flashing other roms or kernels, follow the instructions for flashing that rom or kernel to the letter & you shouldn't have problems.
Most custom kernels (all ?) are rooted, so you don't have to root again after installing them. And most custom kernels are flashable via CWM, tho many do have Odin flashable versions. My advice would be to stick to CWM flashable versions as this is the simplest way to flash a rom or kernel.
thanks agin...
thats what is used before

Easiest way to root is to flash a rooted kernel, such as CF-Root kernel.
Here is the thread => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399&highlight=CF+Root
In Post #8 you will find CF-Root-SGS2_XW_NEE_LPG-v5.5-CWM5.zip which will work fine for your ROM.
Just download this kernel and flash it with Odin to your phone - as described in the first post.
If you want to remove the yellow triangle and reset the flash counter after flashing the CF-Root kernel, just use TriangleAway app from Chainfire (there is a link to it in the first post).
Good luck !

is it poosible to go to previous kernal after rooting?
also if you are planning to use other carrier make sure you have an unlock phone. If not, go to PLay Store and download Galaxy S2 unlock app.
You mean stock kernel? Yes, but only by flashing stock Samsung firmware.

That's not true. You can just flash the stock kernel without flashing the entire firmware.

+1, kernel is independent of rom, u can always flash the same without any issue as long as its compatible

Download a stock kernel, flash it in Odin. Not rocket surgery. You got your hand held on the first page & a half of this thread, time for you to do some reading/learning on your own; Stickies.
