Hi Guys
I would like to go back to gingerbread 2.3.4 from ICS 4.0.3.

also my phone isn't rooted.
if youse need any more info plz let me know thanks.

Hi peeps
I have bought a thr33 Galaxy ace. Ive used an unlock code so i can use any sim but im wanting to update and remove the stock branding if its possible. Ive spoke to another guy who said to use titanium. So ive rooted the phone and used titanium to remove all s/ware i can see as apps on the phone but i still have the thr33 logo on start up which i want rid of and id like to install a newer f/ware. After rooting ive tried to update thru Kies with official f/ware but the phone loses its usb connection when trying to update.
Phone details as it stands :
f/ware : 2.2.1
Baseband : S5830NEKA3
Kernel : 2.6.32.9-perf [email protected]#1
Build : FROYO.XWKAB
Its is rooted.
Ive got some iphone JB experience and i can follow instruction no problem so if anyone can just point me in the right direction as to solve my problem id be very grateful.
Thanx in advance
avoid kies. it would do u more harm than good. use odin to upgrade to gingerbread.
heres a good tutoral with screenshot
u can use other firmware, not just kph like stated in that tutorial. but i u really wanna follow that tutorial make sure its odin complete package, not onepackage. and i suggest using blackhawk rom
btw on 6th step on that tutorial, u'll probably just see "downloading" yellow text on screen, not "an android robot digging with a shovel"
and on the blackhawk rom thread, ketut already pointed howto install his rom, but without screenshot.
Thanx so much for your help before I use them I just want to check that I wont have any problems with my phone being thr33 branded ? If theres a chance of bricking because of the branding what should I do before hand ?
Used the Tutorial. the blackhawk rom download didnt work. Im pleased to say that i followed the tut to the word and its worked for me no problems. My phone was rooted but i didnt change anything b4 this update. My phone was branded and it is now NOT BRANDED after using this tutorial. I had to change the language from russian to english. Search youtube "how to change language on galaxy S". I also had to update my carrier settings. im with giffgaff and theres an app on the android market for apn update. i used wifi to download and update. My phone is now up and running, ive just goto to repload all my apps. Thank You
Just a question, you bought your unlock code?
I bought my S2 last January, and even that I didn't really care about rooting, I've came across these " Make the best out of your s2" articles and I decided to give rooting a shot.
I managed to root it and flash insecure kernel on it and everything was alright. However, I've heard that ICS4 can only be updated via KIES if I'm not on Root/insecure kernel, so I went ahead opened the application " S2 Root",and unrooted successfully. Nevertheless, I wasn't able to get rid of the kernel, which is perventing me from updating.
I've have searched on the forum, and I came across an article suppling stock roms, but it was all on multiupload, which is down since a while.
I'm aware that I can update to ICS4 using odin, but I'm more into the official way since I didn't really see a reason in rooting ( after I did ), well I'm certain it's because I'm just a casual user, who wants to call, or just play with some apps.
Some Info about my phone:
Samsung Galaxy Sll ( Of course )
JPKF3 Built!
I'd really appreciate if someone can link me to the above stock rom ( I've searched and find none), or just tell a method where I can remove this kernel in any possible way.
Much appreciated, and thanks in advance.

if you wan't to upgrade you don't need to unroot, just flash firmware trough odin (addicted to your country)
also to unroot just flash with oding (stock firmware) and wipe data/factory reset and done,
threads are everywhere in general just look around

Since this topic is started might aswell use it instead of making a new one...so my question is:
From what I've read, in order to install CM7.2 on a Galaxy S2, you also need to install a custom kernel...so if I did all that, and want revert back to my original ROM and kernel, I just flash a stock ROM from Sammobile? Or the Kernel will remain the custom one (if so, how do I change it back to the stock one)?

Nope your kernel won't be left until you flash a Rom which has no kernel, but all Samsung roms out there have kernels inside the flashable tar or zip, you ain't smart if you don't provide a kernel which is made specially for the Rom

you can do that using LGNPST and use the right firmware (stock ICS or JB) , and then u should 100% stock .
just search in OG forum and you will find a complete tutorial .
if you still unable to do it , refer to this page

navigate down until you reach the stock AT&T firmware and the LGNPST .
