Please can anyone direct me to where I can find ICS stock kernels for the S2 I9100. Every link I find anywhere on the intenet points me here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
But none of the links to stock kernels work. Either it says page not found or link removed due to copywrite infriengment.
Your help would be much appreicated.
If the links do not work you could still use Check Fus to download stock firmware.
kernel, not rom
Thanks but this appears to allow me to download entire stock firmware files i.e. the whole ROM. gGtting the stock ROMs/Firmware is not a problem for me...I want to put a stock KERNEL on a custom ROM.
So how to download the stock KERNEL only (about 8 to 10mb) still remains a mystery to me. I'm starting to doubt it is in fact possible anymore.
Use Intratech's thread to download just the stock kernel.
I use this, which is from intratech.

Hi,
Can anybody tell me if i root my s2 (currently on KF3 firmware) with cf method and flash stock kernel,will i be able to install new ROMS like litening etc,how ?, and will i be able to come back to my stock firmware and kernel,and how ?
thanks in advance !
You can flash any Custom firmware anytime, without root. And you can go back to Stock firmware and kernel anytime.
Regards.
so if i root(by a method you earlier told me),can i also use any rom on that ?if yes then how and also can you please tell me how to come back to stock rom(before flashing with custom rom) state ?
You just need to add the .tar file of the Custom firmware in PDA section of Odin and flash, same for Stock ROM.
Regards.
you can root your phone as ihappy said but use the threads on the forums to find the stock kernels and roms that suit you. and i mean by what region you at. most of the custom roms come with root anyway so i would not worry about rooting. the thing is though whenever you do flash always make backup. first time i flashed i did not do backup and i was panicking on how to go back to stock.but thankfully the guys in this community are the best around and helped me out. hope my post helped in anyway
Okay guys, I'm in real need of your help here, whether it's a proper answer or some sarcastic link to the correct thread.
I've been testing out roms all over, and different kernels, but now I want to revert back to stock so I can start afresh. Ideally I just want the stock rom. I'm happy running an unsigned (rooted) kernal, but I do want the stock rom.
I'm in the UK, and my phone wasn't branded with any carrier.
Someone, help!

1: get odin
2: get stock rom
3: flash using download mode.
Hi.
I have Odin, and have used it.
I have used download mode to install a rom.
What I can't find is a stock rom.
I search an original stock firmware KB5, possible with all T-Mobile applications, generally clean and without any changes. I have problems with Kies, so the need KB5 for Odin or CWM. Does anyone have any?

He has a working link up for a CWR version on mediafire, but you better get while the getting is good. Those links drop fast, and there are a lot of dead ones floating around.
Nice thing about that flash is that it's rooted and has busybox (for Titanium Backup) already in it. It's worked as a nice baseline for me at times.
hello,
i have been unable to install custom ROMs on my galaxy s2, various forums indicate the installation took place but in my own case the installation process stops when ever the kernel is trying to unpack the .zip file in order to commence installation. i have followed the step by step procedures of the devs but still havent been able to. especially resurrection and batista. are there any prerequisites i need to follow. i am currently using a rooted SGS2, kernel cf-root 5.2, stockROM XXLPH 4.0.3. thnks much.
i am not an expert when it comes to resurrection or batista, but i believe that some newer roms need at least the cwm recovery that comes with cf-root 5.4 or above, so maybe you should flash a newer stock rom with a corresponding newer cf-root to begin flashing.
or, if you want, you could flash the latest siyah kernel through odin, which is compatible with both stock and aosp/aokp roms and have a nice new touch recovery that is certainly able to flash all roms as well.
also, a problem is also a question and this thread belongs in the q&a section. reported. this time someone will move it for you, in the future, please post in the correct section in the first place, for reference have a look at the thread Questions belong in Q&A.
thank you for the response. kindly advice on what stable stock roms i could try. cus i believe i have also tried with a 5.3 but still same.
just also tried the F1 nexus rom still same. maybe i need to take the S2 back to factory, like repartitioning and all, pls what do you advice cus i think something behind has been messed up.
i also noticed something, when i flash with a stock ROM, the fone reboots into the android sytem recovery and i get an error "dst read(I/0 error)". please what does this mean.
please can someone help , i can only flash ROM's through ODIN, but cannot install zip files through recovery. recovery never unpacks the files and all ROM's come as zip files. please help
Hi,
Where we can find the stock roms? It is possible to download stock roms:
- from HTC, Samsung... and other companie's official site
- or we can find them other truested open source developers like CyanogenMod's official site?
- Or just we will find them inside on forums post?
I would be happy if you can tell me also if it is possible to install AOSP directly on a phone device? I think it will not work? Am I right?
Thanks in advance
You would need to find someone that pulled one off of your device and uploaded it... check out the forums for your specific device here, particularly the stickied areas. Sometimes people upload the stock ROM or tweaked versions of the stock ROM!

Yes dont want to download any rom which is not trusted or open source. You mean the third option which I wirte is the only solution... Ok than..
Thank you
Stock Roms
Don't know about others but in case of Samsung you can download Stock ROM for any device on "Sammobile" or "Samsung-Updates". These websites are made for only Samsung. And you can trust both of these websites. ROM's provided on these websites are fully stock. Stock ROM is generally referred as "Firmware". So look for firmware section on these websites
And for the AOSP question, it depends upon the device and the procedures available for installing AOSP. It is possible but not for all devices. It depends.
