Does anyone have a reply??
or is odin /tar file flash the only way to put stock gb back on i717?
My device came used with saurom project and i hate it, it has no nandroid backup and i have no comp to odin stock gb back, is there some kind of close to stock cwm flashable gb rom
Why there is so many ics cwm flashable roms but noone cared to make some GB roms is odd?!

This is a post from Da_G, this should get you to stock. Just make sure you pick the correct carrier. Hope this helps and hope I copied the correct link.

Maybe you should re-read OP question as your response is not correct.
@OP- At this point odin is your only option.
ah, I see. my bad.
same situation here. the way i think it could work (to still be able to reset the counter) is:
1. flash system, kernel, and modem thru odin, leaving the cwm (or other) recovery.
2. flash the counter reset thru cwm
3. flash the stock recovery thru cwm or use adb commands.
the other possible way to not trip it is:
1. flash the gb rooted system image via odin (doesn't trip counter)
2. flash gb kernel and modem thru cwm
3. unroot
4. flash stock recovery
Does that sound about right?

Can someone point me in the direction of a CWM flashable stock AT&T Rom? A lot of my important apps (like Titanium and SetCPU) are force closing at inopportune times and search isn't getting me anywhere.

I have the stock at &t rom rooted back-up?
Did did you back up after you rooted

I've got a back to stock solution, but I'd rather just have something I can flash back to stock or even TPC v2 using CWM. I'm trying to avoid increasing my flash counter.
I don't think anyone has uploaded one yet. There is one, but via ODIN. One of you guys who need it could create a CWM and upload for everyone
If only I knew where to start. If anyone knows how I could use adb in recovery mode to push a system.img.ext4 file, I'd be grateful for that as well.
Follow this post here. I used it and it worked on mine, and didn't increase flash counter.

So no way to flash TPC v2 without increasing the counter at this time?
Seems so. Since you seem have to have tripped yours, you could try one more time for the rest of the folks here.
eh, I'm still at 0. I'll figure something out.
Oh ok. I thought you tripped yours already.
I did, but I had to return my first one because of some hardware issues. When I got the new one I did everything the fun (0 flash counter) way. I was wondering if I could flash a system.img the same way that I flashed the CWM recovery.img (through ADB)
i installed Resurrection rom 1.0 and i've just found out it doesn't have cwm. i can't flash anything, recover anything etc. apparently i need a cwm zip file? (fake flash?) but where the hell do you get that from?
is it safe to just go into download mode and start from scratch with odin?
ta all

the only time i've ever used odin was to flash lighning rom when i first rooted. everything since then has been via cwm.
screw it, i'll do that again. go all the way back to GB lightning. at least i'll have a proper recovery

I've downloaded to my phone (not installed) the proper modem (for what I read anyway) now I need stock gb...I've looked around and read a few threads but im just not 100% sure which one I need and what order to do it in. Would I flash modem via cwm and than Odin stock gb?

The stock ROM is on here, but you can connect to Kies and in the Tools Menu use Emergency Firmware Recovery. This will wipe everything and put a clean version of the current ROM on the device. In this case ICS. Several members have reported doing the upgrade that way and it worked.
Ive found out how to fix this, but everywhere I go there are dead links. Damn megaupload. This isnt my phone and I dont know anything about voodoo. Any directions to where I may find usable links?
Flash back too stock and start over

Basically make sure your doing the GB Bootloaders and recovery at the right time and proper way

The upshot is that every time you use this file to go back to stock, you should odin the GB bootloader again at some point during your process. I generally like to do this:
1. odin CI500blahblahblah.tar. reboot and let it come up.
2. power off and go back into odin. now do the gb bootloader. use PDA, check "update bootloader." reboot and let it come up.
3. power off and go back into odin. now do the old cwm for CM7 recovery. 3-finger reboot directly to that recovery (don't let stock rom boot or it will blow away that recovery you just flashed).
4. flash whatever ROM you are going to from that recovery.
5. Profit.
i actually do all my odin stuff without any reboots and never boot into stock. i flash all odin packages and then go straight to 3 finger recovery.
ThanksThanks

It used to be important to let it boot through the stock recovery if you were re-partitioning the device, because the ext4 partitions were then built on top of the stock ones. ODIN couldn't create the MoviNAND partitions if they were corrupted, but the stock recovery could.
The new LVM formatter might be able to handle it, I'm not sure.

Are there any custom recoveries that I can flash directly to stock recovery?

Youd need to flash a temp cwm then a custom kernel which contains permanent cwm.

great! so here's what I'm planning to do:
1. I'll flash this temporary cwm: http://www.mobilephonetalk.com/showthread.php?141995-CWM-Recovery-v6-0-1-1-For-SGS-2-Root-Method
2. then I'll install CM 10.1.
am I right?
I never read your 1st post properly,was thinking you didnt want to use a pc,and your on GB.
If your using a pc,you can flash siyah2.6.14 using odin which will give you root and CWM.
Youll need to see what the install instructions are for the rom you want in your other posr,whether you need ICS 1st or straight from GB.
Oh yeah I forgot to include that to my post. Yup. I don't want to use my pc. So, will it work?

What does the rom install instructions say;do you have to be on ICS or GB or what.
And I wouldnt recommend not using a pc.If you get a bootloop or cant boot,you can lose recovery/cwm and the only way out of that is using a pc.
Its best to get a pc setup so you can hook your phone up to it in case of emergency.
You can use mobile odin later if you dont want to use a pc(once your rooted) and/or cwm.

The only requirement for cm10.1 is to have cwm. And I say a post saying cm10.1 can be flashed directly to gb provided that it should have a cwm because cm don't need an ics bootloader.
Ps: my phone is not yet rooted.
And yeah, thanks a lot!

Believe it or not,Ive never seen anyone or anything saying that an s2 running GB can be rooted/get cwm without using a pc.
All the advice says to use a pc or update to ICS then use recovery.
Can you not access a pc for this and the reasons I mentioned earlier.And Im away to chuck out an xp laptop that works ok with Odin.
