just curious, have anyone tried to convert stock rom odin files into a cwm flashable zip? i heard that odin can sometime brick your phone. so was curious if there exists such ddkq8 flashable zip so that stock rom can be installed easy
*Facepalm*
All stock based ROMs on xda are made by extracting odin's md5 files -.-

Kies can brick your phone, I dont think ODIN bricks phones. I have flashed a hell lot of times using ODIN before I learnt how to make CWM flashable stock ROMs

If you use the wrong cable then odin may brick your phone

Odin is not that hard to use it just taakes some practise .....flash like about 4 times and u r a pro already ( when flashing for the first time via odin i wasnt scared at all of bricking it as i already had experience of bricking it once with Rom Manager --- that experience has made me a tough man )

You can upgrade your stock rom to 2.3.* via ODIN, then flash a custom rom

Are you kidding me ? That was a bad answer .
All versions of Android can flash custom ROMs .
NoName V1 for Froyo by an0nym0us_ explains it
Herpderp DXKPB.
- download GingerBread Stock ROM then flash it with Odin
- root it then download CWM Recovery or Install it from market and download this one too recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-galaxyace-fix.zip
- after installing CWM Recovery apk or from market, open it and go to recovery
- choose install update from zip then choose the zip file recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-galaxyace-fix.zip

1. Does all stock roms have the same recovery?
2. If so how can I pull a stock recovery and push it over a stock Rom with cwm...

In the tar you download from sammobile.com, there is a file called recovery.img. This is the recovery. Just be sure to download the rom suitable for your device. Then you have 2 options:
Put the img in a .tar and flash with odin
OR
Download this file www.mediafire.com/?w45j8i0fcj0wck0, which originates from this thread: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171089&highlight=lorddeff07.
Replace the img with your own and flash with cwm.
I have used it to flash pershoot's recovery to my 7500 and it worked. I don't know whether it will work for stock, or wifi only version, but I see no reason why it shouldn't.
Please report back as to what you tried and if it worked.

Why don't you just wait a day or so for one of our awesome devs to post a rooted OTA after it drops, and then you can just flash it.
But I think the answer to your question is "PDA"...

I feel you m8... But you know as soon as Sammy drops the ICS update the great devs on XDA will pop open the OTA, root it, tweaked it and debloat it. And that will be done most likely in a few hours of the update. And remember if you do the OTA, you most likely will lose root until the devs setup some new root files.
Just saying...

Yeah I know can always flash back via odin an old hc rom re- root re- cwm /wipe factory reset and flash cm9 xD

Hey Galaxy SII people, I need some help with a friend's SII.
I'm quite knowledgeable with custom ROMs and recoveries, but I have no idea what to do with a stock phone.
The phone is rooted and not getting the OTA to ICS. I want to get the OTA, losing root not necessarily a problem.
Can someone give me a hand with this? I have no idea what I need to do.
The phone also has the stock recovery.
I apologize if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find a conclusive, comprehensive answer.
Go to samfirmware and download the update firmware and install it via odin.
All the best.

Flash stock ROM from http://samfirmware.com/ via Odin. Search for galaxy S2 ROMs, just make sure you don't download the dangerous ROMs (the ones with a warning triangle next to them).

Thanks for the quick reply.
I'm downloading a zip now. I flash this with Odin/Heimdall? I thought I needed a .tar and a bunch of other files to flash with Odin.
This won't keep root, right? Is there any way I could get root back after flashing?
Also, will this wipe /data?
Oh, and I have the option to download a ROM for a specific carrier. Does that mean I can't use another carrier?
Edit: While I'm at it, is the stock recovery needed for anything stock ROM related?
Yes download will be in the form of a zip file, once downloading is complete you can extract the tar. file and place in the PDA section of odin. This will not wipe your device, well never has done for me. Yes you will loose root as you have a completely new rom with stock kernel. See the guide for rooting your chosen firmware. As for the carrier i always use the unbranded /open version as this has less bloat ware. All the best.

As most of the people among us flash latest custom roms.. for which we need to go for for odin flash & as we know it is an irritating process.. thus can we just restore stock firmware via cwm rather than the odin flash, so as to perform a custom rom flash??
(i personally restored stock rom but i found stock kernel hasn't restored thus i dont know, weather it gonna work or not..)
replies appriciated cos if this process works for sucessful custom rom flash then it will be helpful for lots of newbies like me
Recovery is part of the ramdisk, which is included with the kernel.
You can't modify something while it's running.
sorry but i was talking about, that can we replace odin process with restoring stock firmware via cwm??

GermainZ already answered your question but apparently you don't know the difference between using Odin n CWM for flashing.
