[Q] Rooted without making a note of my original version

I recently shifted to an android from an iphone and I am loving the experience. Unfortunately the noob I am, I didnt do my research properly and I went ahead and rooted my Samsung Galaxy S2 without making a note of which version my phone was (i.e KE1, KG3 etc etc). Now I want to shift back from Lightning ROM to the original Samsung Sense but I dont know how as I dont know which rom or kernel to download. Could you help me out. I dont have a clue of what needs to be done. Also what do I need to do to un-root my device if I ever require to do so in future.
I would be grateful and in debt to you if you could help me out.
Samsung dont have Sense .
Product code on the box or under the battery may give an indication of original firmware otherwise its guesswork .
Question was phone branded was phone from a particular area .
Stock rom post has many Samsung roms Branded rom post likewise .

Noob Questions Ahoy!

Hi there guys I really need educating. I come from a Samsung Galaxy S to a Samsung Galaxy S 3. I know all about firmware flashing, kernels n stuff on the original Sammy G, but haven't a clue on the Samsung Galaxy S 3.
I have managed to root the bad boy (go me!) but am unsure how to carrier unlock and to flash the latest firmware. The Sammy G was carrier unlocked but my Sammy G S3 is locked to Vodafone
Can anyone point me to the files and maybe some guides so that I can procede? Also what is this business about a flash counter? I want to be able to return to original firmware if it all goes belly up! How do I backup my original firmware?
Many Thanks In Advance
Doozy,
P.S.
Who is the best Dev to follow for A) Rom and B) Kernel? I followed CyanogenMod on the Sammy G but the CM9 nightlies fpr the Samsung Galaxy S 3 seem a little immature for me at the moment.
Cheers once again
I think you don't have to backup your original firmware because you can download the stock firmwares again later, but you can do a nandroid backup (i never did this^^)
If something goes wrong, follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671969
About unlocking i don't know, but i think the lock will be gone if you flash any rom (but can't give you warranty, since my phone was unlocked)
You can reset the flash counter, it's called triangle away : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114
Im not able to say, whick rom / kernel is best, but why don't you check this thread and try some roms? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1674286
The first CM9 releases had many bugs, but they seem to be ready for all day use now (but i missed the Sammy Camera App, which is very nice )
Thank You very much for taking the time to respond I will take a look at those links.
Thanks Very Much,
Doozy

[Q] i9300 Stock ROM (Australia)

Hey guys, got my S3 here, and need to flash it back to the stock rom due to selling it.
The buyer knows its rooted, its currently running CM10
All that i need to do is flash it back to stock, no un-rooting, triange away or any of that stuff.
Where can i find the stock rom for Australia? already checked the stickys and threads with all the stock roms, but they have almost every other country.
Is flashing the stock rom the same way as doing a custom (after the rooting?)
Done heaps of custom roms on >5 phones, but this is the first time going back
TLDR, i9300 Australian phone, VODAFONE. Need to flash back to stock rom, but dont need to unroot, currently on CM10
Thanks
EDIT: Someone else posted an almost identical thread to me, 6 min before this one. Ill copypaste this to that thread, thanks

and also wen i switch on my mobile it shows a triangle sign below with the samsung symbol..!
so plzz help me out to flash back the stock rom..!
thnxx..!
It shouldn't matter which stock rom you flash, if it were me I'd be flashing a rom released by the carrier your currently using as the modem in it should give you good connectivity.
Nobody's going to give you links (they'd better not) when all you need to do is go to Samfirmware & spend two minutes or less using the pulldown boxes to find the rom you need. How to flash the rom ? Search. This has been covered so many times here over the past two years it ain't funny.
If you've got the warning triangle then someone has flashed non stock firmware on it at some stage. No need to worry about it unless you ever need to make a warranty claim, because removing it will involve rooting the phone (How ? Search).

so it does not matter about the contry wch we bought we can just flash a rom from samfirmware and my phone is rooted though..! and its showing triangle symbol.! so no need to worry about it while flashing my stock rom right ?
You should be able to use any stock rom from any carrier/country just fine, but as I mentioned, if it were me, I'd be flashing a stock rom released by my carrier for the reason mentioned.
If you flash stock you'll lose root, if you want it back, you'll need to re-root your phone (How ? Again, search). As mentioned, no need to worry about the triangle unless you'd need to send the phone to a service centre for a warranty claim (tho you can remove it with Triangle Away if you re-root your phone).

[Q] [Help] How to go back to FULL stock ROM + Kernel Galaxy S Duos GT-S7562

First : Im sorry this maybe the wrong forum in which i have posted, please if necessary move to correct forum if this isnt the right forum.
I have a S Duos and im new to andriod and everything but i did root it and rom it and everything. For some reason i see major battery drainage, so i want the STOCK ROM for my phone. Okay so i hopped onto SAM Mobile downloaded my latest firmware with the appropriate country ( eygpt ) and used Odin to flash it.
Stock rom 100% ... but my problem is the Kernel
it still says OpenKyle 3.08 and i dont want a custom kernel i want the pure over all stock experience.
now i know theres a million threads on this, but the problem is it tells me to stock flash my latest firmware but its just not changing the kernel
I am new to this andriod world and i need help. Thank you very much
