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:

How do i unroot my Galaxy S2 and make it like it was from the box?
Flash back the original firmware or as near to it as you can find .
jje
Where do i get the original firmware? Is this it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 Or is that just a kernel?
There is firmware there aswell. Its the "big file" of about 300mb.. Not the small kernel.
I'm sorry...but all i can see is the unsecure kernels and stock kernels but not 'original firmware'. Please advise...i apologise if it's there and i'm just missing it but i've looked.
Original firmware you saved it ???

No i didn't save the original firmware. So do i flash back stock kernel 7 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 ?
Ok sorry, ignore my above post i have found orginal...so i do i just flash it back using Odin? Download mode, click PDA, click on the file and then hit start? Also, my phone came with Ke1 so is it ok if i do KE7 orginal?
Could someone just confirm the procedures of how to flash back orginal stock in order to unroot?

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)

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.
